Not only was he forcing others, he himself was indeed being pushed to the brink.

He really didn't expect Li Hongjiu, who had been silent all along, to suddenly speak up. This moment of distraction clearly allowed the strange poison to take advantage, causing the situation to suddenly worsen and spiral out of control, making him feel like all his efforts were in vain.

After he got Li Hongjiu out of danger, on the way back, he couldn't help but check Li Hongjiu's physical condition, couldn't help but try to see if he could detoxify Li Hongjiu, but he couldn't even find where the toxic effects were in Li Hongjiu.

In short, he knew Li Hongjiu was poisoned but couldn't detect where the toxic effects were, couldn't see or touch them. Not to mention saving him, he didn't even know where to start, feeling like Li Hongjiu was fighting against something that didn't even exist.

He also had Wu Jinliang and the others try one by one, hoping their various Cultivation Methods might yield some miracle, but the result was the same, all clueless.

On the way, he found out that Li Hongjiu's blood quantity in his body was estimated to be over half lost. Before, it came out drop by drop, and he could still hold on with his cultivation. But now with this constant bleeding, he knows very well that he can't hold on for long, hence the urgency.

Not to mention exhausting his efforts and risking great danger to save this person, it would be a pity if he died like this, mainly because it concerns Shi Chun's future cultivation progress!

In his urgency, he also got Huang Yingying worked up, fumbling around carelessly, wanting to say something harsh but not daring, trying to reason but knowing it's not gonna work since people simply weren't reasoning with him anymore.

The two stared at each other wide-eyed, in a staring contest.

Wu Jinliang looked over at one, then looked at the other; he understood Huang Yingying's predicament and also sympathized with Shi Chun's worries.

Thinking about it, he sighed and advised Huang Yingying, "Old Huang, since you've started cultivating the Demon Book, you should have read it thoroughly. Your old ancestor was so powerful, maybe think carefully to see if there's any way."

He knew the possibility wasn't great; he just wanted to use Huang Yingying's words to give Huang Yingying an excuse in front of Shi Chun.

Indeed, Huang Yingying said helplessly, "I have read the Demon Book thoroughly, but my cultivation hasn't even begun. The old ancestor was powerful before but can't help now... before... now..."

His words suddenly stuck, and he began to mutter back and forth.

This state immediately made Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang fix their eyes on him, realizing that Old Huang might have had a stroke of inspiration, so they eagerly watched, not daring to disturb his thoughts.

Suddenly, Huang Yingying quickly fished out the Demon Book and started flipping through it, not sure what he was searching for.

Wu Jinliang quickly moved closer since he was interested in others' cultivation matters, habitually crowding beside people to see what Old Huang was flipping through.

The result left him somewhat disappointed; Old Huang hadn't flipped to anything else, just the chapter on refining Demon Dew.

This chapter, he had also seen; not to mention crossing sectors, even if one isn't a demon cultivator, it's truly hard to understand. It's entirely a different cultivation system.

Staring at this chapter, Huang Yingying was twirling his little mustache repeatedly, muttering, occasionally tilting his head, but no one could hear what he was muttering.

The two waiting bystanders were waiting and waiting; later not only Shi Chun couldn't wait but even Wu Jinliang couldn't hold back and directly asked, "What are you muttering about, what's the situation, can you give an honest answer?"

Huang Yingying lightly tapped on the Demon Book, "This Demon Dew is refined from the power of joy and sorrow extracted from the Spirit of Ten Thousand Demons. This power of joy and sorrow entered a person's body; ordinary people's emotions should be hard not to be assimilated. Even if a tree is invaded, it's likely to become demonized instantly. Li Hongjiu's persistence until now is indeed extraordinary." He shook his head in admiration.

Wu Jinliang immediately patted his shoulder, "Stop the nonsense, say something useful."

"Not nonsense." Huang Yingying closed the Demon Book, looked at Li Hongjiu sitting bleeding across from him, "What I meant is, this should be the key reason why Demon Dew is hard to resolve for humans." After saying that, he showed a hesitant look.

Wu Jinliang spread his hands, "And then?"

Huang Yingying looked at him, "What you said about my ancestor being powerful reminded me that I'm not sure if my ancestor's demon saint constitution can withstand the power of joy and sorrow of the Spirit of Ten Thousand Demons. If it can, it should be able to block the invasion of his intellect by the Demon Dew, potentially giving him more time. Once my cultivation reaches an initial glimpse, I should be able to help him unravel it."

Shi Chun couldn't help but frown, "You mean, we have to go get your ancestor's remains?"

He regretted it once he said this, regretting not having brought that giant rat's corpse out along with him initially.

"Oh no." Wu Jinliang quickly waved his hands to stop, "That ghost place, no one knows if you can get out after going in, certainly not in time. Anyway, I'm not going back in."

Huang Yingying didn't know where they were talking about but knew that with Li Hongjiu's current situation, it wasn't the time for nonsense, planning to ask later. He tapped the indentation of the four big words 'Beidou Demon Book' on the Demon Book with his fingertip, reminding, "I inherited some."

Upon hearing this, the two beside him immediately remembered the red filling within the protruding text of the Demon Book, became enlightened.

Shi Chun hurriedly said, "Since there is, you better try it quickly."

Huang Yingying awkwardly said, "I was merely thinking, it's just an estimate, whether it's really effective on a person, I can't be certain."

Shi Chun sighed, "At this point, no choice left, try first then talk later, don't dawdle."
