Shi Chun immediately caught the key in his words and hurriedly asked, "Do you mean that the refining method of Demon Dew on the Demon Book requires the Cultivation Technique of the Demon Book as a foundation, and that it's necessary to use the sorcery within to refine it?"
"Of course." Huang Yingying nodded, then pointed to the content on the book, saying, "Look here, for instance, this sentence in the refining key method is also the core of refining, 'Its spirit has nature, its call like command, my sorcery reigns supreme', it references the things from the basic cultivation techniques earlier, it is the magic method of controlling demonic power, capable of suppressing Demon Spirits. From the look of this refining method, a person refining Demon Dew should easily control it, probing into the body with sorcery to extract the Demon Dew within shouldn't be a problem, right?"
Pa! Shi Chun suddenly slapped his thigh, suddenly realizing, "That's right, the refining method of Demon Dew in the Demon Book requires the cultivation techniques within as a foundation. Others likely can't do it, meaning that others might have used some alternative method to refine Demon Dew as you just mentioned."
Wu Jinliang also understood, blinking and saying, "You mean, Old Huang can extract the Demon Dew, but others cannot?"
Huang Yingying quickly waved his hand, "Don't praise me, I haven't even officially cultivated the Demon Book, I can't absorb it."
One sentence rendered Shi Chun and Wu Jinliang silent.
After a while, Shi Chun, unwilling to give up, asked again, "Old Huang, didn't you say that the key to controlling Demon Dew lies in the basics of the cultivation technique?"
Huang Yingying nodded blankly, "Yeah."
Shi Chun asked, "After mastering the basics, can you extract the Demon Dew?"
Huang Yingying looked at the content in the Demon Book, hesitated, and said, "It could be very troublesome to refine, just collecting refining materials is a big problem. This already refined Demon Dew is like already cooked food, just to absorb it should be okay, right? But I haven't tried it, I can't be sure."
This gave Shi Chun about seventy percent confidence and he asked again, "As of now, is it very difficult for you to cultivate the basics from the Demon Book?"
Huang Yingying pondered for a moment, and after some weighing, said slowly, "After repeatedly reading it, I was indeed worried about the difficulty, as my foundation was damaged, making my situation quite poor. But to my surprise, the ancestor reconstituted my physique with grand sorcery, repairing my foundation and pushing me to this realm.
To be honest, my body has already integrated the flesh and blood of the Demon Saint's physique, refined by the ancestor from within himself. The ancestor has indeed been willing to sacrifice himself to clear some cultivation obstacles for the descendants. With the essence of the physique nurtured by the grand sorcery, cultivating the techniques in the Demon Book should be twice the result with half the effort. Of course, this is just my assumption. As for how long it will take to master the basics, I haven't tried, I don't know either."
Shi Chun immediately stood up. For him, having a route was enough, if it didn't work out, he would find a way to let Li Hongjiu hold on a bit longer, until success was achieved on this end.
As long as there's hope, tackle the difficulties one by one.
He put away the Boundless Banner and said, "If you haven't tried it, then try it first. From now on, focus on cultivating those so-called basics of yours." Looking around, he said, "Let's go, I'll take you outside to another place to cultivate."
Huang Yingying also stood up, put away the Demon Book, and curiously asked, "Isn't it said that the people who fished you out of the Life Prison wanted you to participate in the Battle of Great Pardon in the Demon Realm? How do you still have time to roam around and rescue Li Hongjiu? Hasn't the battle started?"
Wu Jinliang, who stood up with them, casually said, "Not roaming around, the battle just started today, and Li Hongjiu is also participating. That guy is unlucky, got tricked on the first day, ah, no matter how skilled, being brainless is still useless."
Following behind the two, Huang Yingying suddenly realized something, stopped abruptly, and asked suspiciously, "Where are we going?"
Shi Chun turned around and said, "Li Hongjiu got trapped in the Demon Realm, so naturally we're heading there. There's less disturbance from Yin Qi over there, which should be more beneficial to the progress of your cultivation."
Huang Yingying exclaimed, "Ah, are you taking me to the battlefield of the Battle of Great Pardon? I'm fine cultivating here, just bring Li Hongjiu to me, I'll do my best."
As he patted his chest to assure them, he subconsciously took two steps back, distancing himself from the two, implying he wanted to stay away from danger.
Even though he hasn't eaten pork, he's seen pigs run. He knows how dangerous the famous battlefield of the Battle of Great Pardon is, and he's clearly backing down because he doesn't want to go.
Wu Jinliang chuckled internally, thinking, and bringing Li Hongjiu here? Just getting Li Hongjiu out is a problem, he might already be a corpse by now. If you, Huang Yingying, go, it might be a wasted trip, and you might have to be sent back again later.
He knew Shi Chun's intention, they were relying on Li Hongjiu's demonic abilities, hoping his extraordinary skills could buy more time.
If Li Hongjiu is still alive, getting him out of the whirlpool's center will surely be challenging. Naturally, it would be great to have the opportunity to smoothly send Li Hongjiu into the Netherworld, but there's fear that others might not give them the time to be this composed. Li Hongjiu's situation might not allow for much delay.
Getting Huang Yingying as the antidote out, and if the antidote can assist Li Hongjiu, they'd have much more room to maneuver. Sometimes the battle over life and death is just a close call, victory or defeat might just be on the potential found in this little bit of preparation.
Another reason, as Chun Tian mentioned, looking at this cave arranged like this, it's difficult to entirely block Yin Qi. The Demon Realm, no matter how poor the environment, is indeed better for cultivation than here, certainly allowing Huang Yingying to potentially reach his cultivation goals faster.
Chun Tian now clearly wants to seize every opportunity, fighting for even the slightest chance, which is completely understandable. Li Hongjiu is too important to him; he won't give up until absolutely necessary.
So Wu Jinliang chimed in, "If Li Hongjiu could be brought in by now, it's already done without needing you to say it. I say, Old Huang, you're at the Heavenly Immortal Realm now, right? The Battle of Great Pardon at most involves Earth Immortal Realm battles, what can they do to you now?"
Huang Yingying fearfully waved his hands, "Little Gao—no, Old Wu, don't praise me, I can't bear it. At most, I'm just at the Heavenly Immortal Realm's cultivation, haven't learned anything else from the Demon Book. Going to the battlefield of Battle of Great Pardon, facing those savage Earth Immortal top experts with formidable divine skills, I really might not withstand it. Some may even have sixth-grade Magical Treasures; I mean, even a broken fifth-grade Magical Treasure can crush me. Moreover, it's not a place I can venture to at all. Once discovered, my entire clan would be implicated. I'd rather you bring Li Hongjiu here; I'll just seize this time to cultivate well."
His cowardly and cautious nature surfaced again. Even with the cultivation of a Heavenly Immortal, he couldn't be arrogant, for he never knew swagger in his lifetime.
Shi Chun persuaded, "I won't let you risk it, definitely finding a safe place for you to cultivate with peace, further equipping you with a protector to ensure your safety."
Huang Yingying still waved his hand, turned around, returned to his original spot, sat cross-legged, and took out the Demon Book again, pretending to cultivate seriously.
Wu Jinliang looked towards Shi Chun, eyes inquiring, the person refuses to go, now what?
There's no time, Shi Chun stopped wasting words, took out the Mother-child Talisman and sent a message to Lao Changtai, then threw out a corpse on the spot, saying to Wu Jinliang, "Burn incense."
"Alright." Wu Jinliang responded cheerfully, taking out the Death Refusing Incense to burn.
Under their joint efforts, soon, the passageway that allowed travel between the realms appeared again.
Standing under the portal, Shi Chun glared coldly at Huang Yingying and said, "The people in the West Bull King Court were asked to release the Golden-haired Rat Clan trapped in the Divine Mountain, Li Hongjiu did a meritorious deed. I only wanted to repay a favor, but for such a benefactor to your Golden-haired Rat Clan, you say to abandon him so easily, it's truly disappointing. Your clan might eventually betray us too, making us meet Li Hongjiu's end..."
Before finishing his words, he turned to Wu Jinliang and said, "Let's go!"
