“Then aren’t I in danger being here?” thought Yi Yun. He wasn’t guarding a cauldron; he was guarding a nuclear reactor!
Thinking carefully, there were plenty of things that were totally different from Earth, but there were similarities.
In terms of energy, the strongest energy on Earth could create atomic bombs or provide nuclear energy.
But in this world, the strongest energy was used to create the strongest experts!
These experts could topple the mountains and overturn the seas. A flip of hand would destroy a city!
These two forms of energy could result in terrible destruction. If not used properly, it would be toxic to the common people!
Thankfully, Yi Yun controlled the treasure that could harness the energy in this world–Purple Crystal.
“But can the Purple Crystal deal with this energy…” Yi Yun tried using the Purple Crystal to absorb the blue light dots. Since he could see the blue light dots, he should be able to absorb them with the Purple Crystal…
As Yi Yun prepared to absorb the first blue light dot, Yi Yun breathed in deeply and reached out his hand carefully. His heart raced, but he finally rationalized that even if the Purple Crystal could not absorb the form of energy, he wouldn’t die immediately from one light dot.
The blue light dot entered Yi Yun’s body.
Yi Yun felt it clearly. The light dot flew into his fingertips like an ice crystal, and then entered his bloodstream.
“It’s so cold!” This was Yi Yun’s first thought. It was like having a huge piece of ice stuffed down his collar during winter.
It was weird that he felt it so profoundly, but the other men did not feel it at all. Their bodies were not as fit as him, so they shouldn’t be able to resist the cold as much.
It seems they have slow reactionary speeds, and are not able to feel the biting cold. However, their bodies will not lie, once they are invaded by the frost toxin, they would slowly lose their strength. If not for the red pill that was given to them from the upper echelon of the Lian tribal clan, they would already be dead?
Yi Yun traced the blue light dot that entered his body. It was eventually absorbed and dissolved by the Purple Crystal into energy that mixed into Yi Yun’s blood.
When the energy flowed through Yi Yun’s body, that biting chill had already disappeared, and gave Yi Yun a cool refreshing feeling.
It was comfortable as if he was soaking in aquatic springs.
This made Yi Yun more curious. What sort of treasure was the Purple Crystal, it could even absorb all forms of energy, be they the harmful energy like the blue light dots from the desolate bones or the Yuan Qi Lian Chengyu had used on him. The Purple Crystal would reduce those forms of energy to the purest form of energy to nourish his body.
Yi Yun was not aware of the fact that in the vast wilderness, many desolate bones contained toxic energies. The Frost Python desolate bones’ toxin was one of the lowest grades. A low level Desolate Heaven Master could easily dissolve the toxicity. Hence, a toxicity of this level was nothing to the Purple Crystal.
After really absorbing it, Yi Yun realized the effect was not significant.
The Purple Crystal could indeed absorb the blue light dots, but the absorbing speed was extremely slow, far more difficult than absorbing the purple red light dots.
“Kid, what are you doing!” Yi Yun was carefully researching the differences between the two types of energy when he heard a man shout at him. In the eyes of others, Yi Yun was just idling.
One of the men who wanted to be the “foreman” of the group could naturally not stand Yi Yun’s laziness.
“Uh…” Yi Yun replied with a smile, “Sorry uncle, this axe is too heavy…”
“Hmph!” The man responded with a ‘I knew you wouldn’t amount to much’, “I really don’t know what the top brass were thinking, to send a kid to refine the desolate bones, holding me back! The useless kid I have, Da Tou is about the same age as you. His strength is twice yours!”
Not to mention Yi Yun’s age, but even among his same-aged peers, the past Yi Yun’s body was extremely thin and lacked strength.
In the vast wilderness, the people worshipped the strong. They were proud of the big and tall men who had dark rough skin.
A handsome person like Yi Yun who had smooth skin was considered “ridden with ills”. Such a person was not popular.
“I’m really sorry uncle. I didn’t only hold you back; I even held your eggs. I’ll work hard in the future.” Yi Yun was still smiling. The man was good at doing hard labor, but his reaction was slow. He had not realized what Yi Yun had said. He only grunted before returning to work while swearing.
Yi Yun began to split the firewood at an adequate pace. To avoid trouble, he increased his speed by a tiny bit. It took him five minutes of hard work, amounting to ten chops to split a piece of firewood.
He had to stay in line with his status.
