Absorbing the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng
If Yi Yun directly uses the Purple Crystal to absorb the energy from the whole herb, it is likely to attract the attention and suspicion of the alchemists in Tai'a Divine City.
However, in the current situation, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng has been severely damaged, and Yi Yun is only absorbing the Medicinal Power it has released, so no one would suspect anything.
Of course, Yi Yun could only do this occasionally. He couldn't bring back severely damaged herbs every time, and damaged herbs would have a much lower value, resulting in Tai'a Divine City paying much less in Dragon Scale Rune.
Overall, doing this wouldn't be very beneficial for Yi Yun.
Under Purple Crystal's control, not a single drop of the Medicinal Power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng was wasted; it was all absorbed by Yi Yun. This energy condensed into points of light, like dancing sprites.
Just as Yi Yun was about to absorb this energy, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, which had been like a withered tree, suddenly burrowed into the ground with a whoosh!
Despite being so severely injured, this Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng still managed to escape.
However, this was of no use. Less than a breath after the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng escaped, black light flashed around them, and a light curtain appeared out of thin air, imprisoning an area of ten feet in radius.
"Bang!"
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng collided with the light screen and bounced back.
This is the Withered Cicada Array, specially designed for sealing spiritual objects. If the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng were in its prime, it might have a way to escape this formation, but now, it's completely impossible.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng had never suffered such severe injuries before. Its consciousness was in a state of chaos, and it could feel its power gradually draining away, with the energy slowly drifting towards Yi Yun.
Yi Yun, carrying the Thousand Army Saber, slowly walked towards the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
He wouldn't hold back at all; the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng incredibly cunning. Yi Yun was even considering whether he should cut it into pieces and package it separately, otherwise, if it slipped away halfway, all his efforts would be in vain.
Just then, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng suddenly let out a scream like an infant. It rushed towards Yi Yun, condensing the last bit of Pure Yang Energy in its body into a spiritual sword, aiming straight for Yi Yun's brow!
It's going to gamble everything and fight to the death!
Without hesitation, Yi Yun wielded the Thousand Army Saber and slashed down with it!
"Snap!"
One side was exhausted, the other had been waiting for the opportune moment; the outcome of the clash was a foregone conclusion. The golden sword shattered, Thousand Army Saber swung down!
Bang!
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng was swept away by the Thousand Army Saber!
Yi Yun still did not choose to cut the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng in two, as this would greatly reduce its value.
However, Yi Yun discovered that even so, the spiritual consciousness of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng was rapidly weakening, and it seemed to be dying.
The death of a Primordial Relic Medicine means the loss of the intelligence it cultivated over thousands of years.
Yi Yun felt no pity for this. His fight with the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng was a life-or-death struggle. If he failed to kill the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng and was instead subdued by Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng Illusion Technique, his fate would likely be to become nourishment for the Blood Sun Flower.
Yi Yun looked at the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng and noticed that its surface color was gradually dimming, and streams of pure power were slowly leaving it. It seemed that it no longer wanted to live.
Being caught making medicine is worse than death.
"Hmm? This power?"
Yi Yun grasped the root of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. In Purple Crystal's vision, he saw a pure purple energy emanating from the wound of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. This energy condensed into a stream, like Vital Energy Smoke.
This energy form, resembling billowing smoke, was something Yi Yun had never seen before.
The energy he had seen before was in the form of specks of light.
Yi Yun hesitated for a moment, then used the Origin Purple Crystal as a medium to draw in the smoke, along with the energy points that had previously dissipated from the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, and inhaled them into his body.
For a moment, the aroma of medicine filled the air, bringing immense comfort!
Taking advantage of this moment, Yi Yun quickly took out a jade box that was about one foot square.
This medicine box is made of lotus jade, which can preserve the Medicinal Power to the greatest extent.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng has been severely damaged, and it's unrealistic to expect it to retain all its Medicinal Power. All we can do now is preserve as much as we can.
What cannot be stored will be absorbed by Yi Yun using Purple Crystal.
As these energy points entered his body, Yi Yun felt a burning sensation throughout his limbs and bones, and the Medicinal Power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng began to slowly take effect.
What surprised Yi Yun the most was the energy that was completely different in form from the energy specks, resembling a smoke trail.
This energy surged into Yi Yun's soul sea.
"Boom!"
The moment this energy entered Yi Yun's soul sea, Yi Yun felt a tremendous tremor in his soul sea, and then, numerous illusions surged in Yi Yun's sea of consciousness.
These illusions were chaotic and disordered. Some depicted scenes from the Divine Wilderness and the Tai'a Divine City, others showed Yi Yun and his sister's difficult life in the Lian Clan, and still others showed bits and pieces of Yi Yun's life in his previous life.
Hmm? This is...
Seeing this chaotic illusion, Yi Yun suddenly realized that the purple smoke-like energy was actually the remaining spiritual power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng after its spiritual intelligence was shattered!
Although the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is just a medicinal herb, it possesses extremely strong spiritual power after it develops a spiritual consciousness.
Otherwise, it wouldn't create illusions.
Spiritual energy is both the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng's means of attack and self-defense. After the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng dies, its shattered spiritual energy is the best medicine for nourishing the soul.
Yi Yun was overjoyed and began to calmly absorb this energy. In an instant, it seemed as if a babbling stream was surging in his soul sea. The spiritual energy of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, like a spring, cleansed and nourished Yi Yun's soul sea, making Yi Yun feel indescribably comfortable.
Yi Yun vaguely sensed that his soul had undergone some slight change, but he didn't know what this change meant.
At this moment, in addition to spiritual energy, the Medicinal Power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng also began to take effect. It flowed into Yi Yun's meridians, emitting a faint tiger's roar, and streams of supreme yang energy burst forth from all parts of Yi Yun's body.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng contains abundant Pure Yang Power. This power is the essence accumulated by the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng over thousands of years of absorbing and exhaling the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and has been purified countless times. Every bit of it is extremely precious.
Gradually, hot steam rose from Yi Yun's body. His skin turned bright red, as if he had been scalded by boiling water.
The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng a potent yang medicine, but at this moment it is the third watch of the night, and the Yi Yun's body is filled with yang fire, while his body is filled with surging yin energy. Unconsciously, the yin and yang energies converge in Yi Yun's body.
Under Yi Yun's deliberate manipulation, the two energies formed a wondrous yin-yang cycle.
Yi Yun's body was burning hot inside and freezing cold outside, as if he had been alternately plunged into an ice cellar and a furnace.
As the Medicinal Power took effect, traces of black blood seeped from Yi Yun's pores. This was the accumulated injuries and blood stasis in Yi Yun's body over the past six months, which were now being forced out by the Medicinal Power, making Yi Yun feel refreshed.
The muscles became increasingly firm under the tempering of the Medicinal Power, and the bones and blood also grew vigorously as the Medicinal Power was absorbed.
This process lasted for an unknown amount of time, as Yi Yun was completely immersed in his own world.
From midnight to dawn.
From sunrise to noon...
Under the bright sunshine, the gloomy atmosphere on the cliff top had long been swept away. Yi Yun sat on the cliff, as still as a statue.
The Medicinal Power contained in the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is absorbed slowly, after all, it is a Primordial Relic Medicine. Back then, when Yi Yun absorbed the energy of the Three-headed Lion-Roc for an hour, it took him a whole night to digest it.
Slowly, another day passed, and as night fell, a thin crescent moon hung in the sky.
Tonight is the second day of the lunar month, and the yin energy has lessened slightly. Water vapor condenses, and Yi Yun's body looks as if it has been frozen by frost and snow. His hair and eyebrows are covered with a thin layer of white frost.
Gradually, Yi Yun had absorbed 70% of the Medicinal Power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
In particular, the spiritual power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng brought unimaginable benefits to Yi Yun's spiritual sea.
Yi Yun clearly felt that his sea of consciousness was expanding and growing! His spiritual power was constantly rising!
As long as Yi Yun had a thought, a variety of illusions would appear in his mind. Yi Yun even had a feeling that if he wanted, he could make these illusions fly out of his sea of consciousness and influence others!
It seems that Yi Yun has inherited the ability of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng to bewitch people and create illusions without anyone noticing!
The second night passed just like that.
On the morning of the third day, Yi Yun, who had been meditating, suddenly heard a soft sound in his soul sea, as if something had shattered.
Immediately afterwards, he suddenly felt a strong suction force coming from him. All his spiritual energy, even his blood and bone marrow, were drawn by this suction force and gathered towards his brow without warning!
This feeling, as if it were draining his life force and even his Divine Soul, greatly alarmed Yi Yun!
What's going on?
Blood, bone marrow, and Divine Soul gathered more and more at the center of the forehead, as if something was about to be born there.
What followed was intense pain. Yi Yun felt as if someone had pierced his forehead with an awl, constantly rotating and pushing it deeper!
It hurts so much!
Cold sweat beaded on Yi Yun's forehead; the loss of control over his blood and qi made him somewhat panicked.
Yi Yun connected his spiritual power to the Purple Crystal, trying to stabilize the restless blood and energy in his body. However, at this moment, Yi Yun suddenly "saw" that the blood and Divine Soul gathered between his eyebrows were slowly condensing into something that looked like a bead.
The bead is covered with blood vessels, connected to the surrounding meridians and blood vessels, forming an inseparable whole.
After the bead appeared, the feeling that it was draining all the blood and energy from my body disappeared, and the pain was suddenly relieved.
Everything returned to normal, the only change being that a small bead had appeared between Yi Yun's eyebrows.
Huh? What's this?
