**Chapter 79: Unconvinced? I’ll Beat You Until You Are!**
In the ancient era, the Three Sovereigns and Four Emperors all unified Xingzhou. After the White Emperor unified Xingzhou, he gathered the strength of all continents to forge the Nine Innate Cauldrons, which suppressed Xingzhou.
Among them, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron was known as the king of cauldrons. When it was refined, it consumed four types of Innate True Essence and was crafted as an innate object.
“Young man, your talent is very high. However, to subdue me, you still have a long way to go. I can help you with three matters, and then we go our separate ways. What do you think?” the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron said.
“That’s impossible,” Chu Yun shook his head, immediately rejecting it. “I still need you to continuously refine medicinal paste to improve my physical condition.”
“Hehehe, the Passionate King spent a total of two hundred and eighty years of hard work to subdue me back then. Young man, do you think you can compare to the Passionate King? Let’s negotiate properly, both sides take a step back, and there’s still room for discussion. Otherwise, I’ll escape now, and what can you do to me?” the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron added.
His tone was tough disguised as soft, unwilling to acknowledge Chu Yun’s existence. He wanted to escape and gain freedom, to roam the vast world.
How could Chu Yun watch him leave? Currently, without the Dragon Scale Fruit, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron was his only shortcut to improving his strength.
Both had their own stubbornness, and no further words were spoken. After a short conversation, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron finally got angry: “Heh, if you want to subdue me, you have to see if you have the ability. Doing things beyond your limits is unwise. Young man, you’ve disappointed me. You’ve given up the three opportunities you could have had; this is the price of greed. Goodbye, young man.”
The Marrow Cleansing Cauldron had a high temperament. Having originated as an Emperor Weapon, in its eyes, only Marquis level powerhouses were qualified to subdue it. Even when facing Marquis level powerhouses, it would not compromise.
“Hmph! Indeed, in this world, fists are truth, and strength is everything.
Without strength, you can’t even subdue a Demon Soldier. Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, since you’re unconvinced, I’ll beat you until you are! You want to leave? What do you take me for? Just a傻子 (shǎzi – idiot) who accidentally woke you up? There’s no such easy thing in this world! You won’t escape the Eight Trigrams Battle Formation!”
Chu Yun shouted loudly and declared war. He finally understood that the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, having awakened from its slumber, had an arrogant and overbearing attitude, referring to him as “young man,” clearly not intending to acknowledge him as its master.
This was the excessive sentience and immense strength of Demonic creatures, unwilling to submit to Monster Tamers.
To solve this problem, it could only be subdued by being beaten down, until it was genuinely convinced.
“Young man, since you’re obstinate, don’t blame me.” Although trapped within the Battle Formation Space, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron remained unfazed, its heart steady and its composure intact.
His silver hair danced, moving without wind as he faced Chu Yun from afar and unleashed his palms.
Instantly, the wind and clouds surged, and waves of energy rolled, emitting sounds like mountains collapsing and seas roaring. The palm force condensed into two palm shadows resembling small mountains, shattering the air and relentlessly crushing towards Chu Yun with immense power.
“This Marrow Cleansing Cauldron has at least eight million years of Tribulation Demon cultivation!” Chu Yun’s pupils contracted. As the palm shadows attacked, the pressure on him intensified, as if two small mountains were pressing down on his shoulders.
However, this pressure only further ignited his ambition and fighting spirit!
His blood boiled in an instant, his battle intent soared, and with a long cry, he opened his Immortal Pouch, fully equipped.
“Hmm?!” The Marrow Cleansing Cauldron’s expression drastically changed. Its body trembled, revealing an expression of utter astonishment.
Chu Yun unleashed his Jun level spirit pressure, stepped on the Lone Wanderer Boots, donned the Colorless Rainbow Demon’s armor, and wielded the Innate Drunken Snow Saber. The Sky Fox was on his left, the Spirit Snake on his right, the Moon Rabbit perched on his shoulder, the Golden Jade Immortal Butterfly danced around him, and the Five Virtues Wheel hovered above his head. Behind him stood the Jianmu, like a pillar reaching the heavens, serving as a backdrop.
His face was as beautiful as a painting, and at this moment, divine light flashed in his eyes, his brows were furrowed, and he exuded an aura like a god descending from heaven!
His black hair whipped wildly, his robes fluttered and rustled, carrying a world-conquering imposing aura. His presence was like a tiger king emerging from the mountains or a flood dragon overturning the sea. Although young, he possessed a majestic presence that looked down upon the world, unstoppable!
As the palm force struck, he slashed down with his saber. Instantly, the saber light surged, blasting the palm shadows into pieces. The sky filled with saber light continued to sweep towards the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, like an avalanche on a celestial mountain.
The dazzling saber light reflected on the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron’s old face, making it feel a bone-chilling coldness!
“How is this possible?!” he cried out in distress. Although his body was forged with Innate Original Essence, making him extremely sensitive to the vital energy of all things, he had faintly sensed Chu Yun’s power. But he never imagined Chu Yun would be a Jun level powerhouse at such a young age.
If he were merely a Jun level powerhouse, it would be understandable. The Marrow Cleansing Cauldron had seen many such talents.
What truly shocked him was—this f***ing collection of Jun level powerhouse Demonic creatures?!
The Teng List clearly stipulated that a Jun level powerhouse could unleash Jun level spirit pressure and possess at least six Tribulation Demons of hundred thousand years’ cultivation. But look at Chu Yun!
The Sky Fox is a Tribulation Demon, the Spirit Snake is a Tribulation Demon, the Moon Rabbit is a Tribulation Demon, the Golden Jade Immortal Butterfly is a Tribulation Demon, the Colorless Rainbow Demon is a Tribulation Demon, and the Lone Wanderer Boots are also Tribulation Demons. The Jianmu behind him, that pillar-like existence, is even a million-year Tribulation Demon. And that Drunken Snow Saber, dammit! It’s actually an Innate Tribulation Demon Soldier?!
Where did this Jun level powerhouse acquire so many Tribulation Demons? And they are all extremely rare species. Especially the Demonic Soldier hovering above his head like a wheel. Are you kidding me? A Demonic Soldier composed of five Destiny Demonic Treasures?
What kind of lineup is this…
Can you not be so extravagant! Even ordinary Marquis level powerhouses don’t have such a lineup!
In an instant, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron’s nerves were somewhat frayed. He felt an intense sense of unreality, wondering if he had fallen victim to an illusionary Dao technique.
This suspicion immediately vanished under Chu Yun’s relentless onslaught.
All of this was real!
The Sky Fox wiggled its nine tails, unleashing infinite Dao techniques like fireworks, engulfing the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron. The Spirit Snake continuously disrupted its spirit light, the Moon Rabbit made time move like a quagmire, and the Golden Jade Immortal Butterfly constantly launched sneak attacks, dragging it into dreams.
Chu Yun’s figure flickered in and out, like a phantom, thanks to the Colorless Rainbow Demon. The Lone Wanderer Boots were not only speed-type Demon Soldiers, but they occasionally delivered kicks.
The most crucial part was the Jianmu, unbelievably thick. It slammed down with immense force, making the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron’s eyes spin and its bones and flesh feel weak.
These were just secondary. What made the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron most wary was the Innate Drunken Snow Saber. Forged with Innate Gold Essence, its edge was unparalleled, and coupled with the Dao Transformation technique, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron dared not challenge its sharpness.
The Marrow Cleansing Cauldron was subjected to a brutal, inhumane beating. With fists against ten thousand hands, their true strength was no match for the multitude. In moments, it was beaten black and blue, its heart filled with terror.
Chu Yun’s image in its eyes had changed.
Initially, seeing his delicate and refined appearance, almost like a woman’s, and his harmless demeanor, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron couldn’t help but look down on him.
Now, realizing Chu Yun’s true nature, it cursed inwardly: “Damn it! This is simply a vicious tiger in sheep’s clothing! A human-shaped nightmare!”
“Ah!” Unable to bear it any longer, it let out a loud cry and fought back with its remaining strength. Divine radiance enveloped its entire body, its aura surged, and the air exploded in waves.
Chu Yun snorted coldly, divine light flashing in his eyes. He didn’t retreat. He met the attack head-on, fiercely and savagely, unleashing an even more powerful offensive, crushing the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron’s resistance.
“Stop hitting! I surrender, I surrender!” the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron cried out, finally yielding under the tide-like onslaught. Chu Yun’s strength earned its respect and forced its submission.
“It would have been better if you surrendered earlier. Only by being uncooperative did you suffer this physical pain,” Chu Yun’s words made the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron force bitter smiles repeatedly.
“Alas, I admit defeat. There are always monsters in this world that cannot be judged by common sense. I never expected to encounter one right after being awakened. I am truly pathetic…” the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron wailed, tears and snot flowing, completely devoid of the White Emperor’s dignity, utterly ruining its image as a high-and-mighty master.
Chu Yun’s face was filled with black lines. He found this Marrow Cleansing Cauldron to be quite something. If the White Emperor knew from the afterlife and saw its current state, would he be angered back to life?
Finally, he and the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron temporarily signed a contract of alliance. With the bruised and battered, White Emperor-like Marrow Cleansing Cauldron in tow, he returned to the Dragon Gate World.
Seeing the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, whose “image had drastically changed” and was meekly following Chu Yun, Jin Bihan and Xiao Xiaoxian both laughed.
Wine King still had not appeared. Chu Yun, Jin Bihan, and Xiao Xiaoxian discussed it and decided to stay and continue waiting.
However, they weren’t just waiting idly. They would hunt within a hundred-mile radius of their current location.
Coincidentally, Chu Yun had subdued the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, and they planned to refine a batch of Marrow Cleansing Paste to see its effects.
To refine the Marrow Cleansing Paste, they needed Marrow Cleansing Flowers and Marrow Cleansing Grass. These Medicinal Ingredients were common in the ancient era, growing everywhere. Nowadays, they had risen to the price of Middle grade Medicinal Ingredients.
However, the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron still had some stock, well preserved.
After brewing a batch of paste, Chu Yun set up the Battle Formation Space, ordered the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron to enlarge, turn into a bathtub, and then added a certain amount of hot water, forming a medicinal bath.
“To actually treat me, the dignified Marrow Cleansing Cauldron, as a bathtub! This is an insult, a serious insult!” the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron vehemently protested.
“Do you want me to beat you up again?” Chu Yun glared coldly.
The Marrow Cleansing Cauldron shivered instantly and shamefully complied.
Chu Yun soaked in the medicinal bath, feeling completely comfortable. Streams of rich medicinal power flowed into his body through his pores, making him tingle and itch all over.
After the bath, he felt extremely refreshed and invigorated, as if he had been reborn, shaking off all fatigue.
“Amazing!” He closed his eyes and savored the sensation, both surprised and delighted. His physical condition had greatly improved. While the extent of this improvement was not as great as consuming a Supreme grade Dragon Scale Fruit, the difference was not significant.
More importantly, this medicinal bath had such an effect every time. It was like eating dishes prepared by a Culinary Alchemist; there was no drug resistance.
Immediately, Chu Yun decided to refine another batch of paste and continue bathing.
“That won’t do. You can only bathe once within twelve hours, at most twice a day. Too much is as bad as too little. You can think of this medicinal paste as cuisine prepared by a Culinary Alchemist. Eating three meals a day without restraint will only lead to one outcome: death by overeating. The medicinal power needs a process of absorption,” the Marrow Cleansing Cauldron explained.
