For Your Injuries
The Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill was not originally a poison, but because it contained extremely yin and cold energy, and was quite violent, once someone with insufficient cultivation level swallowed it, their meridians would be severed and their cultivation would be completely ruined.
When they saw Yi Yun take out the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill, Granny Thousand Hands and Shentu Nantian's lips twitched. However, neither of them believed that Yi Yun would recognize the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill. This pill was extremely precious and was a secret medicine of the Shentu Family. It was impossible for a junior like Yi Yun to have access to it.
Yi Yun played with the pill; just holding it made Yi Yun feel an icy chill seep into his body.
Two months ago, Yi Yun still vividly remembered the chilling sensation of that pill penetrating deep into his bones.
At that moment, the cold air rushed into Yi Yun's dantian and blood vessels throughout his body, making Yi Yun feel an extreme cold from the depths of his soul. Subsequently, the Pure Yang Vital Energy that Yi Yun had cultivated was rapidly corroded by this cold air.
His face turned pale, his body trembled, and his eyebrows and hair froze into frost. Afterward, his long, black hair turned white.
Yi Yun carried Shentu Nantian on his back, pinched the pill between his index finger and thumb, and placed it in front of the candlelight in the dungeon. Through the crystal-clear pill, the flickering candlelight appeared illusory and beautiful.
Yi Yun narrowed his eyes. It was this very medicine that Shentu Nantian had given him that had caused him endless pain and nearly killed him.
Yi Yun paused for a long time, specifically to admire this medicine.
Behind Yi Yun, Granny Thousand Hands and Shentu Nantian exchanged a glance, both wondering what Yi Yun was doing.
"Why is this kid so interested in the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill? Could he be...?" Shentu Nantian's heart pounded with fear. Such a dangerous pill, in this kid's hands, and he was powerless to resist. The feeling of having his life at someone else's mercy was too unpleasant.
"No way! This little brat is obviously not from a noble family. He's probably just a country bumpkin that Su Jie found in some remote area. With his limited knowledge, how could he possibly recognize the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill? He probably thinks it's some kind of precious medicine!"
Granny Thousand Hands looked down on Yi Yun's background. In the Tianyuan Realm, people from aristocratic families had a sense of superiority. The foundations of those great families were unimaginably deep. How could a martial artist from a commoner background compare to them?
Therefore, Granny Thousand Hands despised Yi Yun to the extreme. In her eyes, Yi Yun was just a nobody, like an ant. But she ended up in Yi Yun's hands, which made her extremely depressed.
Yi Yun admired the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill, then suddenly said, "I didn't find any information about the Empress Secret Realm in either of your Space Ring."
Shen Shentu Nantian scoffed at these words, thinking to himself, "Isn't that just stating the obvious?"
Of course, he would never dare to say this aloud, as provoking Yi Yun at this time would be anything but a good thing.
"It seems you didn't intend to reveal information about the Empress Secret Realm?" Yi Yun added.
That's just nonsense!
Shentu Nantian knew that the matter of the Empress Secret Realm was his only trump card for survival, and he absolutely could not reveal it. How could this guy surnamed Yun ask such an idiotic question? Does he have a problem with his intelligence?
Shentu Nantian harboring malicious thoughts when, at that moment, Yi Yun, who was standing in front of him, suddenly turned around and looked at Shentu Nantian and Granny Thousand Hands with a playful gaze.
Shentu Nantian's heart skipped a beat, unsure of the meaning behind Yi Yun's gaze. At that moment, Granny Thousand Hands, her face grim, said in a hoarse voice, "Young man, return the Flying Frost Sword to Tian'er and the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill to this old woman. These two items are not for you to covet. Otherwise, when the Shentu Family comes to negotiate, they will not let this matter rest!"
The Flying Frost Sword is Shentu Nantian's personal sword, and also the cyan Longsword that Yi Yun put away. It is the most valuable item Shentu Nantian owns.
When the Shentu Family comes to negotiate, they will most likely want the sword back, which is quite normal.
As for the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill?
Yi Yun was taken aback. Did he have the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill?
Seeing Granny Thousand Hands' filthy eyes staring at the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill in his hand, Yi Yun suddenly understood what the old woman meant.
You're saying I took the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill?
Yi Yun glanced at the pill he was holding in his hand and paused slightly.
"What do you think!" Granny Thousand Hands sneered. "A country bumpkin, not from a noble family, so what if he has a little talent? He can't even recognize a gem! He can't even tell the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill and a gold-inlaid jade!"
Granny Thousand Hands mocked Yi Yun in a sarcastic and sarcastic tone.
The Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill she mentioned is much more famous, and there's also a jade slip introducing the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill in Granny Thousand Hands' Space Ring.
This Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill looks extremely similar to the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill; even experienced alchemists sometimes cannot tell them apart at a glance.
However, the effects of the two types of pills differ greatly.
The Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill is an absolute treasure. If we disregard the difficulty of its refining and only consider the materials required for its production, the materials for the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill are only slightly inferior to those for the Empress's Relic.
"The Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill is not something someone of your cultivation level can use. As a mere apprentice of the Savage Heaven Master, your combat ability is utterly pathetic. Taking this pill would be useless to you. Return it to me, otherwise, if the Shentu Family brings this up during the negotiations in a few days, it will inevitably embarrass your Lin family. Do you think Old Madam Lin will tolerate your recklessness if you want to stay in the Lin family?"
Granny Thousand Hands' words made perfect sense, and Yi Yun almost believed them.
However...
Yi Yun gently shook her head.
Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill? Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill?
Two extremely similar pills—if you asked a junior with limited knowledge to distinguish them, they certainly wouldn't be able to tell them apart. However, Yi Yun had personally consumed a Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill and remembered it through the bone-chilling pain it caused.
How could he possibly mistake the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill?
"You're saying this is the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill?"
Yi Yun smiled. The Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill was a precious medicine. This Granny Thousand Hands had put on a show just to make him admit his mistake!
Looking at Yi Yun's cold mask and listening to his playful tone, Granny Thousand Hands felt a pang in her heart.
Has this kid found out something?
She wanted Yi Yun to believe that the pill in his hand was the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill. If Yi Yun continued to search through her Space Ring, he would see a jade slip introducing the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill, which was almost identical to the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill.
In this way, Yi Yun would be completely convinced.
The jade slip also introduced the method for younger people with weaker cultivation to take the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill: use water refining method to boil the broth of Ice Crystal Jade Soul, and then take the broth.
A single Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill, when boiled into a broth, will have its medicinal effects dispersed, making it suitable even for juniors at the Origin Foundation Realm.
Granny Thousand Hands believed that, given Yi Yun's greedy and despicable nature, the more she emphasized the preciousness of the pill and the more she said that the Shentu Family would relentlessly pursue it, the less likely he would hand it over.
He would secretly keep the pills from the Lin family and then consume them using the water-refining method.
In that case, he swallowed a Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill!
Finally, the cold air entered his body, severing all his meridians and ruining his cultivation.
This was exactly the result that Granny Thousand Hands had dreamed of.
"Impossible. With his limited knowledge, he couldn't possibly distinguish between the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill and the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill."
As Granny Thousand Hands was pondering, Yi Yun slowly said, "So that's how it is, the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill! Such a precious pill, I really dare not take it. If I did, Shentu Family wouldn't let it go during the negotiations, I would lose face, and it might even affect the smooth progress of the negotiations. If I didn't get the news about the Empress Secret Realm, then I would be guilty of a great sin."
Yi Yun's apparent remorse and willingness to correct his mistakes stunned both Granny Thousand Hands and Shentu Nantian.
Granny Thousand Hands put on an act to avoid Yi Yun's suspicion, but unexpectedly, it backfired. This kid's stance is too wavering; he changed his mind so easily?
Shentu Nantian and Granny Thousand Hands were both thinking rapidly, trying to figure out how to trick Yi Yun secretly taking the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill without arousing his suspicion.
At this moment, Yi Yun had already walked up to Shentu Nantian and said with a smile, "You two are indeed quite badly injured. It's really a shame that you two came to the Lin family as guests and ended up like this. Since the Ice Soul Cold Silkworm Pill is so precious, I'll feed it to you. This will help heal your injuries and prevent other Lineage from criticizing the Lin family for not being hospitable."
Yi Yun spoke, he pried open Shentu Nantian's mouth.
Shentu Nantian's expression changed instantly!
"What... what are you going to do!?"
Shentu Nantian was utterly shocked, but Yi Yun feigned ignorance. "To heal your wounds!"
As Yi Yun spoke, he placed the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill into Shentu Nantian's mouth. The pill touched Shentu Nantian's tongue, and its icy coldness entered his body, Shentu Nantian completely terrified.
His lips were pale, his face ashen, and he was almost scared out of his wits!
For someone like Shentu Nantian, even death wasn't as terrifying as he was. Having all his meridians severed and his cultivation lost was a million times more frightening than death!
"No! Stop!"
Shentu Nantian's eyes were bloodshot as he struggled desperately. However, with all his cultivation suppressed, how could he possibly outmaneuver Yi Yun? The Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill continued to melt in his mouth, and the Medicinal Power seeped deep into Shentu Nantian's meridians and blood vessels!
"Kid, stop!"
Granny Thousand Hands was terrified. She screamed, but Yi Yun completely ignored her.
"You little beast, I'll kill you!"
Granny Thousand Hands lunged forward, but Yi Yun delivered a side kick that sent her flying!
"Boom!"
Granny Thousand Hands crashed into the wall, dazed and confused. Seeing her beloved grandson about to lose all his cultivation, Granny Thousand Hands turned ashen-faced.
"You... you know what kind of pill this is?"
Granny Thousand Hands said in a trembling voice, finally realizing this possibility.
"The Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill, even when it turns into water, I still recognize it!"
Yi Yun said calmly, Granny Thousand Hands was completely dumbfounded. How could he recognize it? And how could he accurately call out the name of this pill!
At this moment, the Seven Fiends Heavenly Yin Pill was still in Shentu Nantian's mouth. He desperately refused to swallow it, and his heart was filled with despair!
