After Ye Zan made a small mistake, he changed the method of absorbing the things in the blood vessels, and transformed into a long rope with claws as he wished, and really flew towards the depths of the blood vessels. In the blink of an eye, the long rope flew out from inside, and the claws at the other end of the long rope caught a handful of red sand, and then floated to everyone's eyes.
"What is this? It looks pretty good." Lin Mumu came closer and took a red sand from the flying claw to look at it carefully. This red sand looks like small red pearls, or beads polished from agate, with a crystal clear appearance and a light fragrance.
"Well..." Ye Zan had just retrieved some information, and the expression on his face suddenly seemed a little weird, so he didn't say the answer immediately.
The memory information Ye Zan obtained from the demon outside the world was only stored in the database of the auxiliary chip, rather than directly added to the memory area of his own brain. After all, the memory in the memory area of the brain is related to many factors such as a person's temperament and habits. If you insist on adding other people's memories to your own brain memory area, it will definitely be affected.
Therefore, regardless of whether it is the memory information of the demon outside the world or the memory information of other people that Ye Zan has obtained before, it is all stored in the database of the auxiliary chip just like computer storage. And this means that when Ye Zan needs to use certain information, he can't just see something and trigger his memory. Instead, he has to use retrieval method to search in the database.
Regarding the red sand found in the blood vessel cave, Ye Zan also looked for related information in the database after seeing and taking it out. This retrieval process is of course very fast, but no matter how fast it is, it still takes some time, especially when this thing is not a ready-made result.
"Brother Ye, look at your expression, isn't this a good thing?" Seeing Ye Zan's performance, Lin Mumu immediately asked suspiciously.
"Haha, it's nothing actually. Of course, this thing is still a good thing. However, you may not want to know its origin." Ye Zan smiled and shook his head, turning the Ruyi Baibian into the shape of a basin, just in time to catch the The red sand that came out was packed inside and completely displayed in front of everyone.
Lin Mumu was obviously dissatisfied with Ye Zan's response. He brought the red sand to his nose and sniffed it carefully, urging Ye Zan: "Brother Ye, please go on! What is the origin of this thing and how is it done?" I don’t want to know? Could it be that this thing was caused by some evil spirit from that day? That’s nothing!”
"Fellow Daoist, since you know it, let's talk about it. I also want to know where this thing came from." The Supreme Dao Yuan could not restrain his curiosity and followed Lin Mumu to ask Ye Zan.
Ye Zan glanced at everyone. In fact, not only Daoyuan Supreme and Lin Mumu wanted to know the answer, but the faces of several other people were also full of curiosity. Of course, he himself didn't want to hide it from everyone. The previous words were just a joke to whet people's appetites. What should be said must be said in the end.
"Okay, since everyone wants to know, I'll just tell you." Ye Zan had a helpless expression, as if he was sorry that his good intentions were not accepted by everyone, and then pointed to the pot of red sand and said to everyone: "The origin of this thing is actually not unusual. Haven't everyone seen it before? There is a nest of bugs living in this blood vessel cave?"
"Is this thing related to insects?" Lin Mumu frowned when he heard it, and then showed a look of surprise. He threw the red sand in his hand back into the basin and said to Ye Zan: "This thing can't be..." What's that? Brother Ye, you better stop talking, I don't want to know the answer anymore!"
Ye Zan has already mentioned bugs, so there is no need to go on about the origin of these red sands. Everyone who has some common sense in life can actually guess at this time what the relationship between the red sand and insects is.
However, I was anxious to know before, now I can stop listening if I say I don’t want to! Ye Zan ignored Lin Mumu's words at all, grabbed a handful of red sand with a smirk on his face, and continued: "Mumu should have guessed it, but I'd better explain it to everyone clearly. Those bugs live here, don't worry about it. What happens next? At least in the beginning, there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Regardless of what it is, as long as it is not the legendary Pixiu, you will have to eat it... So, this thing is actually the excrement of those insects. To put it bluntly, it is insect feces. "
"Ah! Brother Ye, why did you say it so clearly! It's really..." Lin Mumu screamed, and while rubbing the hand that had squeezed the red sand back and forth on his body, he said to Ye Zan full of resentment: " Brother Ye, you didn't tell us at first, but I even took it and... smelled it, but luckily I didn't lick it..."
Of course, among everyone, Lin Mumu was the only one who could make trouble.
Although others felt slightly uncomfortable after hearing Ye Zan's answer, they were not as exaggerated as Lin Mumu. After all, no matter where the red sand came from, at least it still looks clean and has no disgusting smell. More importantly, judging from the power fluctuations emitted by the red sand, it definitely has great application value.
"Although this thing is the excrement of bugs, those bugs grew up by drinking the blood of evil spirits from outside. It's just like the bugs in fruit. It just looks disgusting, but it's actually not as disgusting as I thought. "Ye Zan explained to Lin Mumu with a smile, and of course to others.
People have a natural aversion to bugs, and are accustomed to equate them with dirt, thinking that bugs are a dirty and disgusting existence. But if you think about it carefully, the bugs in the rice noodles have grown up eating rice and noodles eaten by humans all their lives. How dirty can they really be? There are also bugs in fruits. If you eat fruits, others will also eat fruits, and they have nothing else to eat except fruits. How dirty can it be
Of course, we are not talking about bugs anymore, but bug excrement. But in fact, although humans instinctively reject excrement, they also have a wide range of applications for various excreta. The most common one is the so-called farmyard manure. When making fertilizer, after all, there is a layer in the middle. It can at least be said that the crops filter the excrement. Then, the excrement used in some prescriptions is really "shit" for people to eat.
"Okay, okay! Brother Ye, you are right. Let's not talk about excrement, and just talk about what the red sand is used for." Lin Mumu said helplessly.
"Well, this thing is... I won't say how it came from. Anyway, it can be regarded as the blood crystallization of the evil demon outside the world. Moreover, after being decomposed and filtered by those insects, the power of the outer world has been filtered out, leaving only It is relatively pure life force. To put it more directly, this thing can be used to refine elixirs, especially elixirs that increase longevity or repair the body." Ye Zan said this without any secret. The function and value of red sand are not deliberately belittled to get a bargain.
"In this way, this thing is indeed a good thing." Daoyuan Supreme nodded after hearing this, and had a rough assessment of the red sand in his heart. Even though their Tianji Pavilion is based on the inheritance of organ skills, they are no different from other cultivators in terms of life span. Who doesn't want to live forever.
According to Ye Zan, this red sand can be used to refine elixirs that increase longevity. Although the Supreme Dao Yuan and the Supreme Divine Machine cannot use them, there are still many disciples in Tianji Pavilion. You know, in some cases, being able to gain a few more years of life may have a significant impact on a monk's life. Perhaps, a person is only a few years away from breaking through the realm. In these few years, he can make further progress, but in less than a few years, he can only die.
However, Tianji Pavilion is based on mechanism skills, so it naturally has no achievements in alchemy. Therefore, even if they get a portion of the red sand, they may not be able to exchange it for the elixir they want. What's more, this thing is something that comes from the body of evil spirits from outside the world. The existing elixir prescriptions may not have records of its use, so a suitable elixir recipe must be deduced again.
"Fellow Taoist, my Tianji Pavilion is good at organ skills, but I don't have any inheritance of alchemy. I heard that in addition to refining Qianli Expression, my Taoist also has extremely high attainments in alchemy. Therefore, if it is possible, I I hope I will have the opportunity in the future to ask fellow Taoists to refine several batches of elixirs for me in Tianji Pavilion." Daoyuan Supreme also didn't care much about his face. Not only did he openly expose his shortcomings, but he also wanted to make an appointment with Ye Zan in advance to refine the elixirs. .
"Oh, senior, you don't have to be like this! With the relationship between our two families, as long as senior has needs, it doesn't matter how many furnaces of elixirs you make." Ye Zan promised happily.
Of course, it's not time to talk about the specific details yet, after all, everyone is still in the forbidden area. Moreover, so far, they have only explored one leg bone and one blood vessel in the leg of the Demon from Beyond. The body of the evil demon outside the world is so huge, what they should consider now is not refining elixirs or refining treasures, but how to move these things back.
Ye Zan put away the basin of red sand on behalf of everyone, and then continued to explore the blood vessel cave with everyone. And because of the discovery of red sand, everyone now has a specific exploration goal when they explore again. Moreover, it is basically certain that there should be nothing other than red sand in this blood vessel cave.
After some exploration, everyone returned to the entrance of the Blood Vessel Cave, and sure enough, they only found a large amount of red sand inside.
This red sand is the life crystal excreted by the insects after the demon outside the world has devoured the residual blood in the blood vessels. After the outer demon's body was torn apart, most of the blood must have flowed away. The remaining residual blood was filtered by the bugs, and in fact there was not much red sand left.
However, the main difference between more and less depends on how it is compared. At least from Ye Zan's point of view, being able to collect more than ten kilograms of red sand is already a lot. Judging from the life force in the red sand, even without any refining, just a small pearl-like red sand is enough to increase a person's life by ten years. More than ten kilograms of red sand are just the income from this part of the body, so it cannot be said to be less.
Moreover, Ye Zan and others also thought of a question, what about the blood that flowed out of the remains? Previously, when they first came in, they were attacked by a large number of black long worms. Now they know that those worms are the same kind as the worms in the blood vessel cave. In other words, those long black worms outside were originally flowing out with the blood, and they should also be feeding on the blood flowing out.
It's still the same saying, "You'll have diarrhea if you eat it." If the long black worm outside eats the blood of the demon outside, it should also excrete this kind of red sand. Therefore, if you explore this area carefully, you should be very likely to find the nest of those long black insects, and then find their "toilet".
"In my opinion, we should first explore the other remains of the evil demon outside. It won't be too late to clean up the red sand that may exist outside." After thinking about it, Ye Zan said to Daoyuan Supreme and several others.
"Well, according to what fellow Taoist said, those things can't escape anyway, so it's better to eliminate the threat first." Daoyuan Supreme said in agreement.
A bone, a mud monster with mutated bone marrow. A blood vessel with disgusting black parasites. This is just a small piece of the body of the evil demon outside the world. So, what kind of mutated monsters are there in the larger and other parts of the body? No one can tell now.
Therefore, if you want to truly capture these things, you must first eliminate those possible threats. It's like fighting a war. You have to defeat the enemy before you can count the loot. If you put the enemy aside and go and count the loot stupidly, then you really don't know how to write the word "death".
"Okay, then let's start with the easy stuff first and then the tough stuff. First we'll search and clean up places like this, and then we'll clean up the main parts of the torso and head." Ye Zan simply told his exploration plan.
So, everyone followed Ye Zan's plan and began to continue exploring this forbidden land and exploring the remains of the evil spirits from outside the world. Moreover, in the subsequent exploration, the group mainly focused on cleaning up monsters and basically stopped collecting anything. Anyway, after it is completely cleaned up, these things will not escape, and then the entire rock shell will be peeled off and moved away.
Although it is said that it is easy first and then difficult, the body of the evil demon outside the world is so huge that it will take some time to clean it up. Ye Zan and his team cleared "mountains" one after another, taking appropriate breaks to maintain their fighting strength in order to avoid being difficult to deal with unexpected events. Therefore, it took more than ten days for Ye Zan and the others to finally clean up all the small remains and get to the torso that was broken into two parts.
"The left side should be the chest of Tianwai Demon, and the right side is the lower abdomen. Which part should we explore first?" Ye Zan asked everyone.
