Brow Blood Pearl
Yi Yun carefully examined the tiny bead, which was only about the size of a mung bean and covered with faint blood vessels on its surface.
This tiny bead was running along the central axis of Yi Yun's body, pierced by the Ren and Du Meridians. Yi Yun could feel that a significant portion of the energy in his meridians remained here after flowing through this blood bead.
What exactly is this?
Why has this thing suddenly appeared between my eyebrows?
Suddenly, Yi Yun had a thought: he realized that this blood bead actually looked somewhat like an eyeball.
Eyeball?
Could it be...?
Tianmu!?
The thought suddenly flashed through Yi Yun's mind, and he was immediately shocked!
The third eye, located behind the glabella (between the eyebrows) inside the brain, is also known as the pineal gland.
When a martial artist cultivates to a certain level, they can open their third eye.
Heavenly Eye is not something that can be done overnight. First, you need to condense the "Heavenly Eye Bead" and then slowly open the third eye completely.
Yi Yun recalled the books about the Heavenly Eye he had read before, and felt more and more that the blood bead that was now condensing in his brain was probably the Heavenly Eye Bead!
A martial artist who has awakened their third eye possesses an extraordinary ability to perceive their surroundings.
It's generally difficult to discern a martial artist's cultivation level from their appearance, but once Heavenly Eye, it becomes very easy to use it to investigate the cultivation level of martial artists of similar strength.
When Yi Yun first met Lin Xin Tong and Old Man Su immediately recognized Yi Yun's cultivation level and that he had reached the realm of "Perfect Body Refinement and Dragon-like Pulse".
This was precisely because Old Man Su had opened his third eye.
Even the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng possesses the ability to detect Yi Yun's cultivation level, because the spiritual power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng is far beyond that of ordinary martial artists.
In this respect, the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng can also be considered to have opened its Heavenly Eye.
Heavenly Eye is very difficult.
Many Origin Foundation Realm martial artists, including Zhang Tan, the commander of the Brocade Dragon Guard, failed to open their Heavenly Eye, or even condense the Heavenly Eye Bead.
Yi Yun originally thought that he would need to reach the Origin Foundation Realm to condense the Heavenly Eye Bead in his Soul Sea, and only in the late Yuanji Realm stage could he fully activate the Heavenly Eye.
However, now, because he consumed the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng and perfectly absorbed its spiritual energy with the help of Purple Crystal Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng Crystal, Yi Yun has directly completed this step. So next, at the very least, he will be able to fully open his Heavenly Eye at the early stage of the Origin Foundation Realm!
A martial artist who has awakened their Heavenly Eye not only gains a significantly enhanced sense of danger and ability to seize opportunities, but also sees their combat power rise to a whole new level. Their keen perception allows them to discern the enemy's weaknesses, which is a tremendous advantage.
"The Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng truly lives up to its reputation as Primordial Relic Medicine..."
Yi Yun felt fortunate to have captured such a divine medicine. With the Purple Crystal aiding in absorbing its Medicinal Power, he could be said to have taken full advantage of the opportune moment.
Yi Yun was confident that his speed in condensing the Heavenly Eye Bead at the mid-stage of the Purple Blood realm was unmatched even by the geniuses of the royal family and hidden Lineage!
After condensing the Heavenly Eye Bead, Yi Yun didn't even need to open his eyes. The entire scene around him was already reflected in Yi Yun perception.
It's a feeling that's hard to describe.
He seemed to have ascended to the heavens, viewing this colorful world from a completely different perspective.
With just a sweep of his senses, Yi Yun was able to discern how many tiny pebbles and bone fragments were around him, and Yi Yun knew the texture and cracks of each one perfectly.
Yi Yun could even use this to determine the weak points of the broken stones and bone fragments. With just a slight blow to these weak points, they would shatter into pieces.
When Yi Yun tried to connect his spiritual power to the Purple Crystal, what he saw was even more shocking.
Previously, Yi Yun used his Energy Vision to see the world, he could only see a bunch of hazy points of light. Those points of light were symbols of energy. Yi Yun could only identify where there was energy and where the energy was strong. As for what those energies actually represented, he had no idea.
But now, seeing the world through the Heavenly Eye Bead, combined with the Purple Crystal, is completely different!
Every energy cluster in the energy world that Yi Yun saw became clearer, and they had evolved into physical forms.
There are mountains, streams, and forests here!
Yi Yun suddenly realized what was going on.
Everything in this world contains energy.
Even a piece of Ice Crystal or a stone contains energy.
However, because these energies are relatively weak, Yi Yun was unable to detect them when his perception was weak before.
Now that Yi Yun has condensed the Heavenly Eye Bead, when he looks at this world again, everything is reflected in his field of vision.
This feeling was incredibly wonderful, and Yi Yun was captivated by it.
Yi Yun believed that after opening his Heavenly Eye, his control over the Purple Crystal would be elevated to another level.
In that case, what would happen if I went to the Desolate God Hall again and used the Purple Crystal to absorb the energy from the Three-headed Lion-Roc?
Yi Yun licked his lips, his heart filled with anticipation.
He can't wait to return to Tai'a Divine City.
Yi Yun leaped up from the ground!
He has basically fully digested the energy in the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng.
As he condensed the Heavenly Eye Bead, his entire body and flesh were also infused with the Pure Yang Power of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. When he looked inward at his body, his own blood seemed to be covered with a faint golden layer.
He clenched his fists, and his joints cracked all over his body!
As the Pure Yang Power surged within his body, Yi Yun felt a qualitative leap in the strength of his physical body!
Yi Yun had just broken through to the mid-stage of the Purple Blood realm not long ago.
This time, absorbing the energy of the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng only consolidated Yi Yun's cultivation, but did not bring about an improvement in his realm.
However, this Pure Yang Power merged into Yi Yun 'Yi Yun physical body, elevating his physical form to a higher level!
Yi Yun felt as if his body was a volcano in the making, full of boundless power, eager to be released!
Yi Yun, wielding the Thousand Army Saber, casually unleashed a slash!
Snap!
A dazzling blade of energy, visible to the naked eye, cleaved through the ground, leaving a deep trench several dozen feet long.
Good!
Yi Yun was very satisfied with the power of this strike.
With a thought, Yi Yun took out the Flowing Silver Shirt from his bag and put it on. Normally, the weight of two hundred cauldrons was already making it somewhat difficult for Yi Yun to use his movement Movement Technique.
But now, with the two hundred cauldrons on his body, Yi Yun felt as if he were wearing a light armor.
Our strength has increased dramatically!
Yi Yun began experimenting with increasing the weight of the Flowing Silver Shirt.
From two hundred cauldrons, three hundred cauldrons, all the way up to four hundred cauldrons, five hundred cauldrons!
Such weight caused Yi Yun's feet to sink deeply into the soil and rocks!
The weight of five hundred cauldrons finally made Yi Yun feel the pressure; however, this was not Yi Yun's limit.
If it were just a momentary burst of power, Yi Yun felt that his strength could increase to six hundred cauldrons.
Yi Yun's eyes lit up. Primordial Relic Medicine was indeed Primordial Relic Medicine; something that could move even the hearts of Human Race Sage was no ordinary object.
In the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, whether it's royalty or a hidden aristocratic family, none of the young talents from these Lineage are qualified to enjoy the resources of the Primordial Relic Medicine; that would be too wasteful.
But Yi Yun now possesses the best of all cultivation resources: Primordial Relic Medicine, Ancient Remnant Species, and more!
Yi Yun walked to the shattered array plate of the Heavenly Yin Array, drew his Thousand Army Saber, and slashed down with it.
The soil and rocks were cut open, Yi Yun dug out the Blood Sun Flower, which had lost its luster, three meters underground.
Yi Yun's attack on the Blood Sun Flower was merely a feint, but even so, when the Heavenly Fiend Bead exploded, the Blood Sun Flower was still affected and lost much of its spiritual power.
If it weren't for the protection of a three-meter-thick layer of soil, the Blood Sun Flower would probably have been torn to pieces in the explosion.
Yi Yun sealed the severely damaged Blood Sun Flower into the jade box, then looked up at the sky; it was already noon.
Yi Yun applied for a seven-day continuous herb-gathering period, and in just three and a half days, he caught the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng. The process went very smoothly.
"Time to go back. I wonder what my reward will be?"
Even if the Primordial Relic Medicine is severely damaged, the reward from the divine city will still be substantial, as long as one has captured it.
This is a medicine that even sages find hard to obtain, and Yi Yun was filled with anticipation for the reward!
However, Yi Yun needs to carefully choose his words to explain all of this.
While Yi Yun absorbed the Heavenly Auspicious Purple Sun Ginseng, the trial participants of Tai'a Divine City continued their trials as usual...
On the training ground of Tai'a Divine City, a group of teenagers stood straight as javelins under the scorching sun.
These teenagers were all wearing heavy training clothes, and their muscles glistened with sweat under the sunlight.
The instructor leading this group of teenagers was none other than Qin the Bald.
Zhou Kui, Xu Zheng, Song Zijun, and other competitors and friends of Yi Yun were also among this group of teenagers.
Qin the Bald stood with his hands behind his back and his legs apart in the center of the training ground, scrutinizing the new recruits under his command.
Behind him was Purple Tungsten Steel Wall!
The first time Qin the Bald brought everyone to the training ground, the training involved inserting Primordial Arrow into the Purple Tungsten Steel Wall. At that time, neither Zhou Kui nor Yi Yun could insert a single Primordial Arrow.
Qin the Bald once said that he would give everyone a month, and whoever could stick three Primordial Arrow into the Purple Tungsten Steel Wall would be rewarded with an hour of cultivation time in the Desolate God Hall!
And now, the one-month deadline has arrived.
It's time to assess the training results of these new recruits!
Today, Qin the Bald led the new recruits to assemble on the drill ground early in the morning.
These past few days, Qin the Bald's authority has become so deeply ingrained that no one dares to be even a fraction late without him having to urge them.
Qin the Bald glanced at them and was fairly satisfied with the boys' punctuality, however... the satisfaction vanished the next second.
He frowned; he noticed someone was missing— Yi Yun wasn't there!
"Hmm? Where's Yi Yun?"
Qin the Bald, looked at Song Zijun with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
Qin the Bald knew that Song Zijun and Yi Yun both came from the Brocade Dragon Guard's Tiandu City branch. Since Yi Yun was absent, he naturally had to ask Song Zijun! (To be continued~^~)
