Chapter 97: Ming Xiu’s Ruthlessness

A flush of red appeared on Ming Xiu’s face, which set off his unrivalled handsome appearance with a little more taste of seduction.

He kept changing his hand-signs, mobilizing the ice element within him to suppress the rising heat in his abdomen and entire body, but the effect wasn’t great.

The poisonous gas condensed the entire essence of the Ice Toad, and it was difficult to get rid of after entering the body.

Feeling that his whole body was alarmingly hot, and that he just constantly wanted to vent his desires, he immediately took out the Spirit Cleansing Pill, that Lou Mu Yan gave, from his interspatial ring and ate it.

A coolness spread all over his body, and he gasped for a breath, feeling much more comfortable. But the effect of the medicine evaporated quickly, and in only a quarter of an hour, that hot desire spread through his entire body again.

The moment Ming Xiu opened his eyes, he met with Lou Mu Yan’s pair of beautiful eyes dyed with worry. The fire of desire in his chest burned even more vigorously. He immediately shut his eyes and muttered a calming scripture.

Lou Mu Yan’s brows furrowed together and couldn’t help pacing back and forth. But even when she had such rich experience in her previous life, she had never encountered such a situation before.

The flush on Ming Xiu’s face grew darker as the ice Elemental Energy simply couldn’t suppress the explosive desire at all. He bit the tip of his tongue hard to keep his reason.

“Mo Yan, do you have any ideas?” Lou Mu Yan thought and thought but still didn’t have any ideas. In the end, she could only ask for help from Mo Yan on her shoulder.

Mo Yan’s eyes remained light, fell silent for a moment, then said: “You won’t detoxify him with yourself?”

Lou Mu Yan furrowed her brows even more and said helplessly, “I don’t know.”

If she must use herself to get rid of Ming Xiu’s poison, then she could only suffer a loss and sacrifice her body. After all, the body of a virgin seemed insignificant compared to Ming Xiu’s life.

Except she hadn’t yet fallen in love with Ming Xiu. For her to sacrifice her body just like this to detoxify him this time, she would feel awkward and too embarrassed, so if she could get rid of it using another way, it was for the best.

With complexity in his eyes, Mo Yan looked at the flamboyant, red-clothed man, who had stabbed his thigh with a sword in an attempt to stay conscious, “There is another way to save him besides you sacrificing your body.”

“What way?” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes lit up.

“Doesn’t the Foundation Establishment Pill you want to refine have the effect of washing the marrow and removing impurities? As long as you refine the Foundation Establishment Pill and give it to him to use, all the impurities in his body will be discharged through the pores. The poisonous gas in body will naturally be discharged together and he wouldn’t need to explode.” Mo Yan said lightly.

Lou Mu Yan’s face displayed a bit of joy—that’s right! As long as all the impurities and waste gas that accumulated in the body were discharged, then the poison would naturally be eliminated. It just so happened that she found the Deep Orchid, so she now had all the medicinal resources needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

She immediately took out the cyan cauldron that she won at the auction, mobilised the Fire Elemental Energy from within her and tossed a tongue of flame into the cauldron.

In the previous Immortal Cultivation World, if one wanted to refine pills, aside from borrowing external fire sources, one had to cultivate to the Core Formation Stage and use Pill Flames to refine. But because there were many different attributes of Elemental Energy on this Continent, as long as one comprehended the Laws of Elemental Energy to a certain level, one could use Elemental Energy Condensation.

Although she could condense Fire Elemental Energy to battle when she was a Great Sword Master, but she couldn’t maintain it for a long time, so she couldn’t use it to refine pills. But after advancing to the Sword Spirit cultivation base, the speed of her comprehension of the Fire Elemental Law increased by a bit, so her Fire Elemental Energy Condensation could last longer, which was enough for refining pills.

Of course, the Pill Flames of Cultivators at the Core Formation Stage was even better than Fire Elemental Energy Condensation.

While the best source of fire for refining pills and tools, however, still came from the Mutant Flames derived from nature. But Mutant Flames were difficult to find, and even if one found one, they would be difficult to refine, so those that owned Mutant Flames were all practically the most gifted with exceptional natural talents.

Lou Mu Yan quickly threw the main ingredients into the cauldron to refine one by one, baking them into powders of different colours. Then she wrapped them up with a layer of Mental Energy, placing them in one nook of the cauldron so that it wouldn’t be affected by the Fire Elemental Energy.

She continued to throw several kinds of auxiliary Spiritual Herbs into the cauldron to refine, one by one. In order to not waste time, she used Mental Energy to individually wrap more than ten kinds of auxiliary Spiritual Herbs to refine and roast together.

“AH!” Suddenly, Ming Xiu’s eyes were bloodshot, and he stood up. His figure that originally wanted to walk towards Lou Mu Yan halted, used his instincts to suppress the haunting, burning desire, then turned to bombard the wall of the cave punch by punch in an attempt to vent it all out.

Lou Mu Yan’s heart tightened, and who would’ve thought that the one distraction caused her to hear a ‘puchi!’ sound from the cauldron. A few Spiritual Herbs failed because of insufficient fire power.

She took a deep breath, retracted her gaze on Ming Xiu, gradually composed her mind and slowly entered the best free and natural state she possessed in her daily life. Then she threw some more Spiritual Herbs into the cauldron and closed her eyes to start refining.

The sound of gravel falling, and the entire cave rumbling resounded around her ears, but Lou Mu Yan couldn’t hear it. She cut off all the disturbances from the outside world and concentrated on refining the Foundation Establishment Pill, hoping that she, who had become rather rusty now, could form a pill in one go.

Time passed bit by bit and Ming Xiu’s originally pitch-black eyes were now completely bloodshot. He raised his head and looked, with great difficulty, at the calm woman who was currently refining pills, which made his heart felt more serene.

But the desire had already reached a point where he almost couldn’t restrain it. This was the first time in his life that he was in such a sorry state, not to mention it was in front of the woman that his heart moved for.

He pressed his thin lips together and made a decision.

Ming Xiu struck out a few Taoist Seals, then he sat on a rock, and gradually, a layer of frost emerged on him. The frost increased little by little, and in the end, it turned into a piece of ice, sealing his entire person within it.

There was a look of shock in Mo Yan’s eyes. This man’s perseverance and heart were really too strong. If it were another Sword Master, even if their cultivation level was exceptional, they may have long been unable to hold back and would’ve reached their hands towards Lou Mu Yan already.

As a Demonic Beast himself, Mo Yan was well aware of the strength of the poison in that Mutant Toad’s scrotum. Mental Energy and Elemental Energy couldn’t block it out, and the most important thing was that it was indiscriminate poisoning. That was, regardless of if one were a normal human or a person with exceptional cultivation base, this poison had the same result.

Changing his perspective, he thought to himself that even if he were still at his peak, if he were infected with this kind of poison, he might not have maintained such a long period of reason and sober consciousness like this.

Moreover, Ming Xiu, this man, was ruthless to others, but was even more ruthless to himself. When his consciousness began to blur, because he didn’t want to hurt Lou Mu Yan, he actually sealed himself in ice with Elemental Energy. If he failed to thaw, then he’d become an ice sculpture forever.

Mo Yan glanced at Lou Mu Yan who was concentrating on refining pills, sighed, bit the tip of his tongue hard, and a drop of blood essence shot from his mouth and fell straight into the cauldron.

He didn’t tell Lou Mu Yan just now, but in addition to washing the marrow and removing impurities, he also needed to add his blood essence to completely detoxify the scrotum poison of that Toad. It’s just that losing this bit of blood essence that was combined with his King-Class bloodline meant that all the cultivation he did since awakening had been in vain.

[WENG!!] Two hours later, the cauldron made a buzzing sound, and a few bright, smooth, and lustrous pills flew out from within the cauldron, its fragrance overflowing.

A slender jade-like hand made a gentle wave, and the plump and rounded pills fell into her palm. Lou Mu Yan opened her eyes and took out a porcelain bottle, placing three of the Foundation Establishment Pills in it, then held the one that was left in her hand. She stood up and was prepared to give it to Ming Xiu to use.

Yet who knew that she would see a scene that shocked her and make her heart tremble. What entered her eyes was an ice sculpture and, horrifyingly, the man sealed within was precisely that red-clothed, seductively handsome Ming Xiu.

Note: Awwww Ming Xiu~
