Chapter 1257: Purify

If that ancient cultivator truly had no strength left to resist, he absolutely could not be allowed to fall into the hands of Sin Abyss. This person might very well be the key to the ancient secrets!

And if that ancient cultivator was as terrifying as the Devil Monarch, then Old Devil Ye must not be allowed to break the seal. No matter what, they had to go and see for themselves.

Seeing Qin Sang deep in thought, Jingyu took the Lightning Thought Orb from him and whispered a few words into the fat chicken’s ear.

The fat chicken obeyed his mother’s instructions and retreated into the Primordial Unity Ring. For him, this place was far too dangerous. Even the aftershocks alone could have crushed him into dust. Qin Sang looked toward Jingyu.

Jingyu let out a soft sigh, then said in a low voice, "No matter what you decide to do, I must go back. I have to find a way to seize the Corpseflower Blood Amber."

"The ancient cultivator is unfathomable, and Sin Abyss is powerful. Going alone is unwise," Qin Sang advised.

He did not want Jingyu to throw her life away. If that were the case, rescuing her would have meant nothing.

Jingyu’s expression dimmed. She glanced at the Primordial Unity Ring on Qin Sang’s wrist.

Before she spoke earlier, she had already set up an invisible barrier so the fat chicken would not overhear.

"After entering the dark prison, my life was not in danger, but my injuries were too severe. Without spiritual herbs, most of my energy had gone into healing. And this place was not suitable for dual cultivation. For the past two hundred years, I have made almost no progress.

"On top of that, all my protective treasures were destroyed by the flesh puppets. Not long after I leave, I will face heavenly tribulations. If I cannot obtain the Corpseflower Blood Amber and force a breakthrough, this tribulation will be certain death!"

Her tone was bitter. After finally reuniting with her child, she had to risk her life once again. If she failed the tribulation, it would mean eternal separation.

Qin Sang sighed inwardly. He had only recently reached the Spiritual Infant Realm and had not yet truly felt the pressure of heavenly tribulations, but he could still understand Jingyu’s predicament.

Under the Heavenly Dao, all were but ants, struggling to cross the same river.

After a brief hesitation, Jingyu continued, "Daoist Qin, in fact, your human race can also refine the Corpseflower Blood Amber. You only need to place it at the core of a top-tier spirit vein and nurture it with secret techniques for ten years, using the vein’s energy to cleanse the blood poison within it. The remaining medicinal energy is extremely pure and can be directly refined into the body. It is a rare divine herb capable of directly increasing a Spiritual Infant cultivator's cultivation!"

Qin Sang was taken aback and fell silent, unable to help but question whether her words were true.

Is Jingyu trying to deceive me into helping her seize the Corpseflower Blood Amber?

The Azure Luan’s blood and essence were sealed within the phoenix wings, so the Corpseflower Blood Amber was useless to him and could only be traded away. No matter how precious a treasure was, if it had no use to him, he had to carefully consider whether it was worth the risk.

Jingyu, perceptive as she was, saw through his doubts and quickly said, "You just helped me escape. How could I repay kindness with betrayal? This is the secret technique for purifying the Corpseflower Blood Amber. Please examine it first.

"My clan has passed it down for generations. We have long known of this spiritual object. We only know that once the blood poison is removed, it can enhance cultivation, though we are unsure whether it retains any effect in aiding breakthroughs.

"The price is that the spirit vein’s spiritual qi will be contaminated by the blood poison, but it will recover within a few years..."

Qin Sang caught the streak of silver light she flicked toward him. A profound secret technique appeared in his mind. It was indeed intricate and mysterious. Jingyu clearly had no ability to fabricate something like this.

He pondered inwardly.

After reaching the Spiritual Infant Realm, every step forward had to be taken alone. Even if the Corpseflower Blood Amber could not help him break through bottlenecks, saving years of bitter cultivation would still be worthwhile. As for the spirit vein, he could borrow one from Yuanshen Sect.

Moreover, even if he did not search for the Corpseflower Blood Amber, he still intended to visit the center of the array.

"The Corpseflower Blood Amber has the greatest effect on bloodline impact when taken for the first time. But once the blood poison is cleansed, any amount can be refined without issue. Back then, at least five of them appeared. There may be even more inside. I only need two..." Jingyu said.

I'll take one for myself, and one for Little Fatty. She thought.

Knowing her own strength was insufficient, Jingyu hoped to persuade Qin Sang to assist her.

From what Little Fatty said earlier, he holds this Senior Qin in extremely high regard, claiming he dominates Beichen Realm and stands unrivaled among all, the strongest of the age.

She felt that was somewhat exaggerated, but it was enough to show that Qin Sang was no ordinary figure.

Qin Sang did not hesitate long before agreeing.

Jingyu was overjoyed. She gazed fondly at the ring and said, "Daoist Qin, if something happens this time, or if I fail my tribulation, I entrust Little Fatty to you."

Qin Sang looked at her deeply and said, "He has the ability to protect himself. With the Azure Luan’s lightning power fused into him, his future is boundless. He does not need anyone’s care. Heaven favors the fortunate. Do not be overly pessimistic, or it may hinder your tribulation."

"Thank you for the reminder. I had become too attached." Jingyu took a deep breath, her expression returning to normal. She accepted a bottle of spirit pills from Qin Sang and began restoring herself to peak condition as quickly as possible.

When they had left the black tower earlier, Qin Sang had already summoned the sword talisman. After activating it, he sensed the current position of Devil Lord Tongyou.

They were now heading to rendezvous with him, and Jingyu knew how to locate the center of the array.

To deal with both the ancient cultivator and Sin Abyss, they needed everyone working together. At that time, he and Jingyu could act when the opportunity arose and seize the Corpseflower Blood Amber amid the chaos.

Qin Sang led the way, activating his astra to clear a path, while Jingyu followed behind, silently refining the pills.

The scenery within the array shifted repeatedly.

"They’re still wandering around inside the array," Jingyu said. "It seems like they have not yet grasped its patterns. I have recovered ninety percent. Let’s hurry and join them. I have heard of Old Devil Ye’s reputation. He is no simple figure. If we delay, things may change."

Qin Sang nodded. The two of them activated their evasion lights, one riding a sword, the other transforming into lightning, racing forward at full speed. Guided by the sword talisman, they drew closer and closer.

Boom! When Qin Sang and Jingyu arrived at an open expanse, they saw blood-red lightning flashing ahead, radiant streams of light colliding. A fierce battle was underway.

Only upon approaching did they realize that Devil Lord Tongyou and the others were surrounding and attacking several flesh puppets. Aside from Qin Sang, everyone had already gathered.

The flesh puppets roared in fury. Their bodies were covered in wounds, yet they remained ferocious and resilient. Their injuries were visibly healing at a rapid pace.

The blood axes in their hands possessed the might to split mountains and seas. Each swing unleashed a streak of blood light, forcing everyone to evade.

"Who?!"

"Who's there?!"

As soon as Qin Sang and Jingyu approached, several shouts rang out. Two streaks of light flew toward them. It was Qingjun and Devil Lord Tongyou.

Both sides came to a halt. Qin Sang’s gaze met Qingjun’s, and they exchanged a slight nod. Qingjun looked at Jingyu beside him, somewhat surprised that she was unharmed.

"Daoist Jingyu?" Devil Lord Tongyou recognized her as well, his face filled with astonishment.

"Greetings, Daoist Tongyou. Greetings, Daoist Leng..." Jingyu greeted them one by one, and they quickly returned the courtesy.

"You have been missing for many years. I had thought you had already..." Devil Lord Tongyou, who dominated the devilish path of Small Cold Domain, had once dealt with the demon kings living in seclusion within Endless Valley. They had kept to their own affairs.

After the fat chicken fused with the Azure Luan’s lightning power, his appearance had also changed.

Devil Lord Tongyou glanced at Qin Sang, recalling how Qin Sang had repeatedly released a demon bird along the way, behaving rather strangely. He suddenly understood. "Daoist Jingyu, have you been cultivating in seclusion within Blood Lake all this time?"
