Chapter 2141: Chapter 1888: Refining (2)

"Doesn’t matter, it has six petals, six people can take it."

A weak voice rang out from the back of the crowd.

Song Yun focused his gaze and only then noticed that Xiang Jia had taken advantage of the chaos to run over with everyone else—barely escaping with his life.

He had been toyed with miserably by the Ice Condensation Leopard, his whole body drenched in blood, with hardly a sound patch anywhere.

But the Ice Condensation Leopard treated him like a plaything and hadn’t seriously injured him, probably afraid he’d die and there’d be nothing left to play with.

Seeing Song Yun looking his way, he hurriedly said, "The Biyang Flower has six petals. Each petal, taken on its own, can achieve the effect of cleansing the marrow and washing the body."

Hearing this, Lang Xiaoran said, "If that’s the case, six of us can each take one."

The others nodded to themselves in secret, all thinking they were willing to be the other four, to give up the Biyang Flower to the rest.

Seeing everyone believed him, a sly glint flashed in Xiang Jia’s eyes. Then he put on a pleading expression and said, "I beg you, spare me one petal. As long as I take it, my injuries will recover. Otherwise, I won’t last much longer—I’ll die."

Nie Wushuang glared at Xiang Jia and snapped, "Don’t even think about it."

Juan Mao said coldly, "Hmph, if you die, what’s that to us?"

"Heh."

Song Yun just let out a faint laugh, tore off a petal of the Biyang Flower, handed it toward Xiang Jia, and said in a low voice, "Since you want it, then take it. I want to watch you eat it with my own eyes."

Seeing Song Yun hand the Biyang petal to Xiang Jia, everyone was stunned.

They looked at Song Yun in confusion, not understanding what he meant.

He was definitely not the soft-hearted type who would let Xiang Jia off. Yet right now he was actually willing to give up a petal to Xiang Jia—this was far too abnormal.

Staring at the emerald petal in Song Yun’s hand, Xiang Jia’s expression changed instantly.

Taking a single petal alone was enough to kill someone; how would he dare accept it?

"What, don’t dare take it?"

Song Yun sneered and mocked, "Xiang Jia, did you think you’re the only one who knows about the Biyang Flower? Six petals in total—take them all together and you can cleanse the marrow and wash the body. But if you take just one petal by itself, it’s poison. It can kill."

"You wanted the six of us to split it—that was you trying to get all six of us killed. Your heart is vicious enough."

"Too bad for you, I just happen to know the Biyang Flower."

"Your scheme has failed."

As Song Yun finished speaking, Xiang Jia’s face had already turned deathly pale with fright.

Even many in the Beast Spirit Clan didn’t know about something like the Biyang Flower; Xiang Jia himself had only stumbled on it by accident in a tattered ancient book of the Elephant Spirit Clan.

He’d never imagined Song Yun would also know this flower.

"Bastard, you actually tried to get us killed."

"Kill him."

"We’ve let you live this long, you’ve already made a profit."

Juan Mao, Gu Man and the others were all furious.

Seeing how menacing they looked, and with his plot exposed, Xiang Jia didn’t dare stay here any longer.

He stole a glance at Song Yun, then turned and bolted.

But with his heavily wounded body, his speed was less than a tenth of what it was at his peak. The moment he lifted his foot, Song Yun grabbed him by the back of the neck.

"Since you want it, I’ll give it to you."

Song Yun barked coldly, and forcibly shoved the Biyang petal in his hand into Xiang Jia’s mouth. He slapped Xiang Jia’s throat, forcing him to swallow.

After doing all this, he let go of Xiang Jia.

"Ah!"

Xiang Jia cried out in alarm and frantically tried to vomit the Biyang petal back up.

He gagged a few times, spewing out some filth, but there was no Biyang petal.

Song Yun said coldly, "Don’t you know the Biyang Flower is digested the instant it comes into contact with gastric juice? Spitting the petal back out is impossible."

Xiang Jia raised a hand and pointed at Song Yun, his face twisted as he snarled, "Song Yun, you’re insane. Doing this, what good does it do you?"

"The Biyang Flower’s six petals have to be taken together to work. Now you only have five left. You might kill me, but the Biyang Flower is wasted."

"Hahahaha, I, Xiang Jia, may die, but you can’t use the Biyang Flower either. I’m already satisfied."

By the end, Xiang Jia was actually laughing wildly.

"Idiot."

Song Yun said lightly, a look of disdainful amusement appearing on his face.

Xiang Jia saw this, frowned, and said through gritted teeth, "What are you laughing at?"

"Laughing at how stupid you are." Song Yun said calmly, "The petals of the Biyang Flower do indeed have to be taken together for the effect to manifest. But it’s not six petals, it’s five. The petal you just swallowed is the one with the heaviest toxicity. Without that petal, the effect of the Biyang Flower is actually even better. Don’t tell me you didn’t know that?"

Xiang Jia froze for a moment, then roared, "Impossible, don’t try to trick me."

"Trick you? Heh, is there any need for me to trick a dead man?"

Song Yun gave Xiang Jia a contemptuous glance, picked up the other five petals, and said to Nine Stars, Lang Xiaoran, and Nie Wushuang, "I’ll take these five petals first. After we get other treasures, I’ll split them with you."

He didn’t ask for anyone’s opinion, but directly made the decision.

Of course, nobody had any objections. The fact that they had made it this far was entirely because he’d been holding things up; the Biyang Flower was something he deserved.

Moreover, Song Yun’s decision was very reasonable. At this moment, his improvement would benefit the entire team the most.

Only if he grew stronger could they go farther and obtain more treasures.

However, Nie Wushuang still said worriedly, "Song Yun, is it really okay to take five petals at once? What if..."

"Relax, it’s fine."

Song Yun smiled, then directly swallowed the five Biyang Flower petals.

Three seconds later, a strange energy erupted inside his body, coursing through his four limbs and hundred bones. His body seemed to be nourished, becoming fair and clean.

But in the next instant, some black secretions were expelled from his pores.

Although the amount was small, it was already visible to the naked eye.

"The Biyang Flower really is good stuff; it’s taking effect so quickly."

Song Yun’s eyes lit up, and joy surged in his heart.

The others, seeing this, all secretly let out a breath of relief. As long as he wasn’t poisoned, they could be at ease.

On the other side, Xiang Jia’s eyes widened, his face full of disbelief as he exclaimed, "Impossible, how can this be? You clearly have to take six petals together, why can five work too? Who the hell are you? How do you know so much? Pu..."

As he spoke, Xiang Jia spat out a mouthful of black blood.

Immediately after, black blood flowed from all seven orifices, and his tower-like body crashed to the ground.

He lay on the ground, convulsed a few times, and then stopped moving.

Taking a single Biyang Flower petal carried extremely strong toxicity; lasting more than a minute was already his limit.

Looking at him, then at Song Yun, everyone felt that although it was the same Biyang Flower, the different petals they had taken were as far apart as poison and Spiritual Medicine; it was simply too mystical.

"Hide. I’ll first digest the medicinal power of the Biyang Flower."

After saying that, Song Yun looked around.

Above the sunken plaza, which was the size of several football fields, were many connecting passageways—no fewer than thirty-two.

At this moment, they were standing at the entrance of one of the passageways.

After thinking briefly, he retreated back into the passage.

The others followed him back. Lin Jun stopped at a corner and said, "I’ll stay here and keep an eye on the movements in the sunken plaza, see if anyone appears from the other passageways."

"I’ll stay too."

"Let’s do it together."

Gu Man, Gu Meng, Juan Mao, Master Bei, and Little Sword God also all said they would stay behind.

Nie Wushuang followed Song Yun, saying, "I’ll watch over Song Yun. If someone comes from the other end of the passage, I can at least hold them off for a bit."

Lang Xiaoran and Dongfang Yun exchanged a glance, left five giant wolves behind with Nine Stars and the others, and then they too followed Nie Wushuang. ℴ

Song Yun walked a short distance, then directly sat cross-legged and began refining the medicinal effects of the Biyang Flower.

The three of Nie Wushuang stood guard at his side.

Song Yun felt as if his body had been thrown into a furnace to be tempered; the impurities and filth inside were being rapidly expelled.

He was pleasantly surprised to发现 that this process not only cut hair and washed marrow, but was also of immense benefit to the tempering of his body.

In that case, could he use it for Body Refinement?

He hurriedly circulated the Primordial Technique and was astonished to发现 that the enhancement of his bodily functions was progressing much faster than when he had cultivated before.

Moreover, his own True Qi was also rapidly increasing.

"The Biyang Flower really is good stuff!"

Song Yun praised inwardly, then calmed his mind and focused wholeheartedly on refining the medicinal power.
