The heavenly slayer demon ape retrieved a Demon Core from the corpse of the profound thunder blood spider and returned, crawling in front of Tan Yun to present the bowl-sized Demon Core to him.
Except for Mu Mengyi, Zhong Wu Shiyao, and Xue Ziyan, who were aware of the existence of the heavenly slayer demon ape and remained unshocked, all the other disciples looked at the scene of the heavenly slayer demon ape crawling before Tan Yun, their hearts stirred with waves of astonishment.
“Brother Tan, we understand.” Huangfu Tingfeng, Luo Fan, and the others responded and subsequently swore an oath.
Then, everyone deeply bowed to Tan Yun, saying, “Thank you, Senior Brother Tan, for saving our lives!”
Tan Yun smiled at everyone and said, “There’s no need for such formality. Now, let’s wait here for the Tree of Life to produce the life liquid!”
“I’ll keep the spoils. No one is allowed to fight me for them!” Xue Ziyan laughed as she began gathering the spoils around the more than a thousand corpses.
Three hours later, night fell over the land, with a bright moon hanging in the sky. The pure moonlight reflecting in the Ice Valley was quite pleasing to the eye.
“Roar!”
“Aooo!”
“……”
With the roars of demon beasts, hundreds of ugly and fierce-looking demon beasts gradually approached Tan Yun and the others from the Ice Valley.
“Dare to take another step forward, and I’ll kill you!” The heavenly slayer demon ape roared, causing countless third level demon beasts to stiffen in fear before turning tail and fleeing like a tide of beasts.
Four days later, the setting sun appeared blood-red.
At this moment, over three thousand people sat cross-legged around the Tree of Life on the lush grass, suddenly standing up, gazing in astonishment at the miraculous scene occurring on the Tree of Life.
In the eyes of the crowd, the entirely green Tree of Life seemed to be imbued with life, exhaling pure white gas with every breath like a human.
That gas enveloped everyone, refreshing their spirits.
“Brother Tan, is the life liquid about to be produced?” Tian Xiang asked excitedly. “I’ve heard that taking a drop of the life liquid can have miraculous effects like rejuvenating one’s youth. Is it true that even the dead can be revived?”
Everyone also looked toward Tan Yun.
“That’s a bit exaggerated,” Tan Yun chuckled and shook his head, explaining to the crowd, “First of all, the life liquid does not have the miraculous effect of rejuvenation. While it’s true that it can make someone appear younger, it won’t reverse aging entirely.”
“Secondly, the idea that it can revive the dead is even more absurd.”
“Its true purpose, and main use, is solely for those with severe external injuries.”
“For instance, if someone has their flesh, bones, legs, or arms destroyed, which is an irreversible injury, in such cases, just a drop of the life liquid can achieve the effect of regenerating flesh and bones, allowing the person to recover their injuries in an extremely short time.”
Upon hearing this, Xue Ziyan asked in confusion, “Brother-in-law, why can’t internal injuries be treated?”
Xue Ziyan’s confusion echoed the thoughts of the others.
Tan Yun smiled and said, “You need to understand that the life liquid is a divine liquid that cannot be diluted. A drop of the life liquid contains an excessively pure and vast life force. If someone with internal injuries takes it, not only will they not be healed, but their internal organs would be instantly destroyed, leading to death.”
Huangfu Tingfeng clasped his fists and said, “Brother Tan, your knowledge is truly profound. I’ve learned a lot.”
At this moment, Tan Yun suddenly said, “The life liquid is about to condense!”
Everyone looked up at the Tree of Life and was astonished to discover that on the nine oval green leaves, a layer of milky white mist appeared with the naked eye, and then the mist on each of the nine leaves began to condense into a drop of milky white life liquid!
