If any less were used, it still wouldn't be enough to achieve the desired effect, and it might provoke a frenzied backlash from the Blood-Severing Netherwater. Yan Ning and Monkey Qian were already extremely weak; they might not be able to withstand it.
The young monkey stared unblinkingly at Lu Xiaotian, terrified that anything might go wrong. A moment later, a little blood qi seeped out of Yan Ning and Monkey Qian, respectively.
"This Blood-Severing Netherwater is truly sinister." Nine-Ren Mountain and the Scorpion Demon, seated in separate corners, opened their eyes wide. When they saw the blood qi darkened almost to black, their expressions turned grave. The Blood-Severing Netherwater didn't seem particularly destructive, but it was exceedingly insidious. Once it entered the body, driving it out was incredibly difficult. Even for cultivators at their level, being afflicted by it would be a serious problem.
"Is the Blood-Severing Netherwater something from this Sea Soul Hall?" The Ksitigarbha Twelve-Winged Scorpion Demon's heart skipped a beat as he thought of a possibility. If this substance entered their bodies too, they would be in no ordinary trouble.
"Yes. Our Water-Soul Monkey Demon clan was once extremely powerful, with many members stronger than you. We guarded the Blood Nether Grotto here in Sea Soul Hall for a long time. Later, an unprecedented blood tide erupted in the grotto, and most of our clan was swept into it. Only the tiny bit of strength we have now remains, eking out an existence in Sea Soul Hall. We dare not offend anyone."
A bitter look crossed the young monkey's face. If his clan hadn't fallen so far, why would he have to rely on outsiders to refine pills for his wife and child?
"A blood tide in the grotto?" The Corrosive Slaughter Heart Demon was startled.
