The seals that Shen Tu Nantian, the Thousand Hand Granny and the long-browed elder formed landed in Yi Yun’s hands.
Yi Yun opened his energy vision up and in the energy vision, the Great Empress relic remained bright. The little black snake was like a scar that made the perfect Great Empress relic exude a dangerous and evil aura.
Yi Yun injected his mental energy into the Purple Crystal, and using the Purple Crystal’s powers, he carefully isolated the evil aura.
Before making the bet, Yi Yun had attempted and proven that the Purple Crystal was effective on the Great Empress relic.
When the Purple Crystal’s powers came into contact with the evil aura, Yi Yun felt a jolt. It was like a frost Qi had moved along his meridians, spreading across his entire body, making him feel cold to the bone.
Hiss…
The little black snake constantly hissed as it was being surrounded by the Purple Crystal’s powers. It struggled with all its might, trying to break out of the shackles enforced by the Purple Crystal.
This stunned Yi Yun. This black Qi could already instinctively struggle. This meant that a Spirit would soon evolve from it!
An intelligent Spirit could evolve from some elixirs and relics after a long time when a large number of invaluable high grade materials were used. At the instant a warrior swallowed it, it would fly out.
Seeing that the Great Empress relic had almost formed a Spirit after having been recently refined, it was quite formidable.
If the Great Empress relic were to possess a Spirit, especially with that little black snake having intellect, Yi Yun would no longer be able to separate it from the relic using the Purple Crystal.
This was because the Purple Crystal could only affect lifeless energies without an owner.
Yi Yun looked at the three Mystic Crystal Hand seals in his hand and without hesitation, he sent the three seals onto the little black snake’s body.
“Whew!”
When the seals pressed down on the snake’s body, they caused its struggles to greatly weaken.
“If this relic was kept in the Everlasting Purple Gold relic box for another one or two months, the black Qi would probably be able to absorb Heaven Earth Yuan Qi, becoming even harder to control. When that happens, my Purple Crystal would be helpless against it.”
“Previously, Shen Tu Nantian said that even with the Great Empress relic sealed in the Everlasting Purple Gold relic box, it would slowly lose its medicinal properties, completely disappearing after a year. It looks like he was just fabricating it just to force the Lin family into deciding on the marriage alliance early.”
These thoughts flashed in Yi Yun’s head as he looked at Shen Tu Nantian with a smile.
“Young master Nantian, it’s time for the second seal.”
Shen Tu Nantian’s face sunk as he snorted. He endured the pain in his soul as he began to condense the second Mystic Crystal Hand seal.
At this moment, many people were looking at Shen Tu Nantian, including the upper echelons of the Lin family and Lin Xintong.
How could Shen Tu Nantian, who treasured his reputation greatly, allow himself to be made a fool of in front so many people?
However, to act as a fatty, one had to endure the pain of the beating required to obtain a swollen face. Shen Tu Nantian was already beginning to regret it. Why did he have to hide his injuries and forcefully pretend to be indifferent about it?
The second seal, the third seal, the fourth seal… all the way to the twentieth seal.
Shen Tu Nantian managed to complete them barely.
However, upon reaching the twentieth seal, Shen Tu Nantian began to feel the strain. The veins on his forehead bulged. As his mental energy were being overdrafted, his eyes turned red. He no longer looked anything like the carefree gentleman he usually acted like.
And of all things, Lin Xintong was still looking at him. Shen Tu Nantian was insistent on not appearing weak in front of his future woman.
What Shen Tu Nantian was persisting on was the thought of being able to kill Yi Yun as he wished once Yi Yun failed.
However, there was no doubt that Shen Tu Nantian felt that every second in the one hour period was like a year!
At this moment, Yi Yun had already used the Mystic Crystal Hand seals to completely restrain the little black snake. After all, to extract the black snake, it was not using the Mystic Crystal Hand but the power of the Purple Crystal.
If he wished, he could easily extract the little black snake anytime.
However, seeing Shen Tu Nantian in that state, Yi Yun felt that if he did not drag this to the last moment, he would certainly let down the hard work Shen Tu Nantian had put in thus far.
“Young master Nantian, you seem to be suffering? Is your soul hurting? Actually, you have only completed less than half of the Mystic Crystal Hand seals. There is still another 60 odd more left. Actually for things like pain, you will slowly get used to it as the pain goes on.”
