Inheritance of cultivation techniques is quite common, but as for this matter of passing down cultivation across time and space, it's the first time the two have heard of it, especially leaving ancient cultivation to be handed down to descendants today.
The two truly can't imagine just how powerful the Divine Skills of the supreme being of the Demon Realm from back then must have been.
However, this made Wu Jinliang a bit skeptical, and he asked, "Old Huang, don't cry yet. Let's talk about the main issue first. This doesn't seem right. The cultivation of your ancestor Jin Zhan should be far more than what you've inherited, right?"
They had seen Jin Zhan's remains, if death and the passing of cultivation were inevitable, why pass down so little?
Huang Yingying understood their point and, sobbing, said, "I haven't personally cultivated this skill, so I don't know how far the inheritance method can go. I also can't feel why it would diminish. Ancestor shouldn't have held anything back."
This matter was being discussed lightly, but seeing that the two were going to keep talking endlessly, Shi Chun became unwilling. He was still in a hurry to save Li Hongjiu and had been watching Huang Yingying make a fuss for half a day, wondering why they were dawdling. Li Hongjiu might have already died by now.
He hurriedly interrupted, "Alright, alright, let's discuss his ancestor's matters later and focus on the real issue first."
Wu Jinliang snapped back to his senses and realized indeed he had been distracted by something unrelated. He quickly turned back to his surroundings and found that everyone had treated the precious Demon Book like trash. Hastily, he reached out, picked the Demon Book off the ground, and stuffed it back into Huang Yingying's hands, saying, "Right, Old Huang, you're a regular at the brothel, don't cry like a woman. Let's talk business. The Demon Book contains information on refining 'Demon Dew', you must have seen it. I have a question for you."
Mentioning the brothel at this time made Huang Yingying cry and laugh at the same time. He immediately pondered over the matter, murmuring, "Demon Dew..." He then looked at the two with skepticism, asking back, "There is a Magic Skill for refining Demon Dew. What's wrong with Demon Dew? Do you want me to refine it? I haven't cultivated the Demon Book, and it can't be refined in a short time; it requires capturing many demon cultivators."
Wu Jinliang waved his hand, "We don't want you to refine Demon Dew. Someone is poisoned by it, and we need to detoxify. Is there any detoxification method you know of?"
Huang Yingying looked puzzled upon hearing this, "Detoxify? How could Demon Dew be poison? It is a great supplement, a rare treasure. When I previously read about Demon Dew in the Demon Book, I felt that if I could refine it, it could repair my damaged Demon Bone."
Wu Jinliang immediately turned to Shi Chun and sighed, "Chun Tian, you see, talking to someone who hasn't read much is tiring. They just don't get it. And to think he stayed in Dazhi City."
He turned back to Huang Yingying, saying, "What's poison to others is honey to some; everything has two sides, don't you understand?"
As he spoke, he pulled the Demon Book back, put down the big knife, scooted over to sit next to Huang Yingying, and quickly flipped through the Demon Book. Soon he found the page with the record about Demon Dew, pointing out, "Look at this last sentence, 'The grace of dewdrop can enlighten all beings', do you understand what it means?"
Huang Yingying was confused and genuinely shook his head, not faking it; he really didn't know.
Wu Jinliang promptly explained, "It means that Demon Dew is a great supplement for demon cultivators but a deadly poison for other living beings. Once poisoned, if they can't withstand it, they'll die; if they do, they'll turn into monsters. Got it? Have you heard of Li Hongjiu? He's currently poisoned by Demon Dew. It's said outside that there's no antidote, so we thought of checking the Demon Book, and since you're studying this tome, we're here to ask you."
As he spoke, he turned to Shi Chun again and sighed, "Chun Tian, see his behavior, he's even more clueless about Demon Dew than we are. Asking him seems pointless; we might have come for nothing."
Shi Chun kept a somber face and remained silent because he too realized that Old Huang's understanding of Demon Dew was likely the same as theirs, limited to what was written on paper or perhaps even less.
They were actually mentally prepared before coming; the outcome was nothing but a shattering of their last hope.
He felt regret for Li Hongjiu in his heart, deeply sensing that there was no longer a need to save him.
It wasn't because he was heartless; as he said, if saving him would still result in death, then why save? Not to mention the risks and the possibility of bringing a lot of trouble, he couldn't let his brothers next to him risk their lives for no reason.
But unexpectedly, Huang Yingying weakly questioned, "Such a fantastic treasure, rare and precious, difficult to refine, why not absorb and utilize it to supplement one's own cultivation instead of detoxifying it?"
His standpoint was entirely different from the two before him. As soon as he heard about a treasure like Demon Dew, he was tempted, wanting to obtain it rather than use some detoxification method to get rid of it.
These words left Shi and Wu both stunned, and they collectively stared at him intently.
Shi Chun, wielding his staff across his knees, squatted half-kneeling in front of him and asked, "How to absorb?"
Huang Yingying, slightly confused, tried to say, "Of course, let a demon cultivator absorb it. It's harmless to demon cultivators, so they can naturally absorb it."
Thinking there might be hope, Wu Jinliang tossed the Demon Book back to him and sighed, "Old Huang, theoretically, you're not wrong, but not in this case. If demon cultivators could indeed absorb it as you say, then it wouldn't be an incurable poison, would it? There are so many demon cultivators out there; if it were that simple, finding any would do."
"Finding just any demon cultivator might not work..." muttered Huang Yingying, holding the Demon Book upright, looking at the refining method for Demon Dew on it, tilting his head again, examining and pondering, then muttering suspiciously, "This sorcery refining technique involves fusion and manipulation through magic. Traditionally, someone capable of refining it should be able to absorb the Demon Dew out of a human body, right? How could it be incurable? Unless the refining method is different, using some alternative refining method?"
