Chapter 10-Jellybeans? Chalcedony?
Uncle Chen's casual sweep of the broom not only swept away the devastating evil light column, but also cleared away the brief chaos in Guixu Sect.
From the bottom of the deep pit, wisps of dark red malevolent energy curled up, filling the air with an indissoluble aura of ferocity and a faint earthy smell. At the center of the pit, a fist-sized, dark red crystal, resembling solidified magma, emanated a faint glow. This was the core of the violent dragon vein's malevolent energy!
The dragon pattern on Chu Linyuan's right arm remained scorching hot, conveying a fierce desire. He took a deep breath, suppressing the weakness and turmoil within him brought on by the impact of the evil spirit and the shared fate of the blood talisman. He took a step forward, and his figure appeared at the bottom of the deep pit. Icy evil spirits swirled around him, automatically avoiding the evil spirit core emitting terrifying fluctuations.
He stretched out his hand, and his calloused palm directly grabbed the dark red crystal.
The violent evil spirit remaining on the surface of the crystal was like countless tiny poisonous needles, instantly piercing his palm! The evil spirit that was enough to instantly corrode the body of a Jindan cultivator was easily swallowed and assimilated by a purer and more domineering black evil spirit the moment it touched Chu Linyuan's skin!
Chu Linyuan remained expressionless, his five fingers clenched together, firmly grasping the scalding, lifelike, pulsing core of evil energy. The crystal felt heavy in his hand, as if a ferocious miniature evil dragon was sealed within, surging restlessly against his palm.
He lowered his head, his cold eyes falling on the crystal, as if he was examining an insignificant object.
Then, under Su Tang's wide-open eyes, Xie Zhao's weak but curious gaze, and the calm or surprised gazes of others, Chu Linyuan did something that almost made everyone's jaw drop.
He opened his mouth and threw the dragon vein evil core, which exuded a terrifying aura that was enough to make a Nascent Soul cultivator retreat, into his mouth like throwing a fried bean!
A crisp, teeth-grinding sound of shattering was heard!
The dark red crystal instantly shattered between his teeth! An extremely dense, almost tangible dark red evil spirit suddenly burst out from his mouth and nose, but was instantly sucked in and swallowed by the surging black evil spirit within his body! His Adam's apple rolled, and he actually swallowed the shattered crystal and the violent evil spirit together!
The clear swallowing sound was particularly harsh in the silent pit.
Chu Linyuan closed his eyes, his brows furrowed imperceptibly, as if savoring the violent "flavor." After a few breaths, he opened his eyes, his icy gaze deepening. The dark golden dragon pattern on his right arm glowed, seeming more solid and active. He slowly exhaled a breath of turbid air with a faint scent of blood and sulfur, and uttered two words expressionlessly:
Su Tang: "..." She almost dropped the photo stone again, and screamed inwardly: He chewed that thing like it was candy?! Chewed it?!
Xie Zhao: "Cough cough... puff!" He wanted to laugh but it aggravated his injury, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood foam. His face was pale, but his eyes were sparkling as he looked at Chu Linyuan with a hint of helplessness and indulgence, "Brother... you have really good teeth."
Luo Hongyi: "..." He weighed the soup spoon, as if thinking about the possibility of using the evil spirit core as seasoning.
Tie Niu: "Oh? Is it delicious? How does it compare to my 'wild vegetables'?"
The little white deer was holding the rabbit, and it seemed that his own rabbit also wanted to taste it.
For a period of time afterwards, the sect temporarily fell into a strange and quiet period of "recuperation".
Chu Linyuan's "cave" had become a makeshift hospital ward. Xie Zhao, relying on his status as a "critically injured" patient, comfortably occupied the sole stone bed. Chu Linyuan sat cross-legged on the cold cushion, eyes closed, regulating his breathing. A chill swirled around him, suppressing the surging evil spirit within him and the burning dragon pattern on his right arm. Between them, the radiant chain of light flowed, clearer than ever, conveying a delicate balance—Xie Zhao shared the backlash of Chu Linyuan's evil spirit, while Chu Linyuan's icy aura subtly nourished Xie Zhao's meridians, weakened by the loss of his essence and blood.
That afternoon, the rain subsided, and a rare, gloomy light streamed into Chu Linyuan's stone chamber through the broken window lattice. Xie Zhao reclined on his cushion, idly stroking three ancient bronze coins.
"Brother, I'm tired of lying around. How about I tell you a fortune to relieve my boredom?" Without waiting for Chu Linyuan's reply, Xie Zhao flicked his fingertips, and three copper coins flew up, tracing mysterious paths in the air with a clinking sound. He closed his eyes and concentrated for a moment, muttering something to himself. Then the coins fell, two yin and one yang, forming a strange triangle, pointing southeast to the bottom of the pit.
Xie Zhao opened his eyes, a faint but bright glint flashing in his peach blossom eyes: "Southeastern deadly place, evil condensed jade marrow? Interesting..." He looked at Chu Linyuan, who was closing his eyes and regulating his breathing, with a cold air lingering around him, "Brother, it seems that there are still good things hidden at the bottom of the pit. The evil spirit has settled, turning death into life, and condensed into jade marrow. When you feel better, let's go... Okay?"
As the saying goes, if you are not a member of the same sect, you cannot enter the same sect.
Just as Xie Zhao finished speaking, he heard a "Gujiujiu——!!!" sound. It was obviously the rabbit raised by his fifth apprentice sister...
Sharp and out-of-tune rabbit calls, accompanied by a violent and chaotic wave of evil energy, suddenly came from outside the hall!
Several people looked outside the door.
The white deer anxiously chased her snow-white moon-eating rabbit. The rabbit had somehow slipped to the edge of the deep pit, its body now swelling like a balloon! Its once fluffy and adorable form had swelled several times over, its fur stretched to near-transparent heights, revealing the scarlet veins beneath! Its ruby-red eyes were wide open, filled with pain and terror, its three-petaled mouth open, only emitting a neighing "gu-chiu-chiu" sound! Streams of impure, dark-red evil spirit, tinged with tyranny, gushed uncontrollably from its body, sending the surrounding gravel flying!
"Xiaobai! What have you been secretly eating again? Let out your anger!" Bai Xiaolu's face turned pale with anxiety. She was connected to the Moon Devouring Rabbit's soul and could clearly feel the pain of the Devouring Void within the rabbit being forcibly stretched and on the verge of collapse! The ferocious beast's phantom, wrapped in golden light within her, was also restless, emitting a burning aura.
Apparently, this greedy rabbit had taken advantage of the situation and secretly devoured the remaining fragments of the evil spirit crystals at the bottom of the pit. The violent energy contained in those fragments was simply beyond its current ability to fully digest and absorb!
"Not good!" Xie Zhao's face changed and he struggled to get up, but his injury was aggravated and he started coughing violently again.
Chu Linyuan had already opened his eyes, his icy gaze sweeping over the swollen Moon-Eating Rabbit without the slightest hesitation. His figure flashed, and he appeared at the edge of the pit, so fast that only a shadow remained! With his right hand, his fingers joined like a sword, a wisp of extremely concentrated dark evil energy locked onto the Moon-Eating Rabbit's abdomen, where the evil energy was most chaotic and the thinnest part was stretched thin.
"Brother! Don't force it! It'll explode!" Xie Zhao warned urgently, suppressing a cough. He pressed his fingers together, the spiritual light at his fingertips dimming but remaining steady. He quickly pointed through the air! Several pale golden chains composed of pure runes appeared out of thin air, instantly wrapping around the Moon Devouring Rabbit's swollen belly! The chains weren't meant to imprison, but rather, like the most precise grid, instantly locking onto several nodes where the malevolent energy was colliding most violently, on the verge of exploding!
