Decaying World

Chapter 125 Test 125 (Xie Jianyi does not guide Xiao Chaomeng Alliance Leader)

Lin Hui carefully reviewed the time and resources required for each of the three options.

The first year was short, but the key point is that this thing wasn't very effective.

The second fifteen years.
'As expected, something of this quality could be used as a weapon for who knows how many years. It's understandable that the higher the quality, the longer it takes to evolve.' Fifteen years is a bit long. Even with various drugs to enhance it, Lin Hui felt it was too long. It wasn't worth it just for a weapon.

Especially when he imagined himself one day pulling a skewer of lamb from his back at a formidable enemy, pointing it diagonally at the ground, and saying: 'To kill you, I don't need a second skewer.'
Lin Hui's facial expression froze instantly.

They immediately abandoned the second option and looked at the third, which only required two years.

'Try this one.'

He had long planned to try evolving other things, but now he was just testing these foods first.

The third evolution was quickly determined: the blood mark changed shape and turned into patterns again. At the same time, new evolutionary information also appeared next to the lamb skewers in the field of vision.

'Hellfire Ram Skewers: 2 years remaining.'

After identifying his target, Lin Hui quickly ate the other skewers and took out the Illusionary Dragon Lotus, a gift only offered by his disciples.

He originally planned to use this precious medicine while staying up all night to cultivate, but he didn't expect it to be so effective in shortening the evolution time. It was a pleasant surprise.

I ate one plant before, and now there are nine left.

Lin Hui didn't feel bad. He finally had the resources to speed things up and could finally test the other functions of the Blood Seal.

He had actually wanted to develop other features for a long time, but due to the long evolution time and the strong sense of crisis, he had to postpone it until now.

Now, I can finally give it a try.

Pick up the Illusion Dragon Lotus and slowly nibble on it, swallowing it with your mouth.

Lin Hui watched the remaining time on the blood seal. Soon, more than ten minutes later, he ate a Phantom Dragon Lotus, and only a little over a month remained.

Lin Hui picked up a new lotus, took a tiny bite and swallowed it until the remaining time was completely used up, then exhaled and put it back.

At this moment, the lamb skewer that had just been in sight has begun to change.

As if time were accelerating, the lamb skewers began to turn black and char, with countless oil bubbles appearing on the surface of the meat.

call.

Suddenly, the lamb skewers spontaneously combusted, and the flames were not the normal red and yellow, but a strange blackish-red.

Lin Hui carefully held the lamb skewer, scrutinizing the information provided by the bloodstains.

'Purgatory Ram Skewers: Evolution complete, excellent quality, shelf life 1 day. Due to different environments, the power of Purgatory is being rapidly consumed by unknown external forces.'

These are meat skewers made from the blood and flesh of rams from Purgatory. They are highly praised in Purgatory and can enhance one's own Purgatory heat aura to a lower level after consumption.

Note: The infernal heat manifests as intensified fire poison in most environments and is highly contagious and parasitic; once infected, it is extremely difficult to eradicate.

'How do you eat this?' Lin Hui hesitated, looking at the burning mutton skewers in his hand.

One second later.

He enveloped his mouth with his inner force and took a bite.

Suddenly, a strong smell of sulfur filled my nostrils, but the mutton itself was crispy and fragrant, with a very good taste.

This thing looks like it's burning with flames on the surface, but it's actually not hot at all when you eat it.

Lin Hui couldn't stop eating after the first bite. He finished all eight pieces of mutton in less than two seconds.

call.

He swallowed the last bite of meat and involuntarily exhaled.

The breath that escaped from the mouth actually turned into a string of sparks.

At the same time, waves of scorching heat began to spread rapidly from his stomach to all parts of his body.

Gradually, a hint of red appeared in Lin Hui's eyes, but that red quickly disappeared as he circulated his internal energy.

As the heat gradually subsided, he carefully examined his body.

'No changes have occurred. It seems there's no enhancement to the body or mind; the change is likely only in terms of breath control.'

With a thought, a wisp of internal energy suddenly appeared from his fingertips.

Now, he finally saw the changes happening within his body. His previously pure white internal energy now faintly tinged with red, no longer as pure as it had been at the beginning.

'Is it an infernal aura, similar to fire poison?'

Lin Hui thought for a moment, then got up, pushed open the door, and quickly went to the pharmacy, where he saw a pile of animal cages that had been brought in for testing.

He crouched down and gently touched the forehead of a dwarf goat.

The internal energy, carrying the heat of purgatory, only touched the fur of the dwarf goat before retreating.

Meow!

Suddenly, the dwarf goat seemed to suffer some kind of extremely intense pain, letting out a high-pitched scream.

It bounced backward as if it had been electrocuted, slamming hard against the back of the cage with a loud bang.

On its forehead, between its eyebrows, a blackish-red dot, like ink, quickly dyed its white fur a similar color.

And that's not all; at the same time, the skin and flesh of the dwarf goat also rapidly ulcerated and charred, as if flames were scorching its entire body.

Its wool begins to curl, turns into charcoal, and falls off. Patches of black and red blood blisters grow on its skin and flesh. The blood blisters burst and then dry up, and new ones grow again, repeating this process.

Lin Hui stood by the cage, staring dumbfounded at the dwarf goat. It was as if it had been roasted by an invisible fire. In less than ten minutes, it collapsed to the ground, completely dehydrated and emaciated.

But it didn't die.

Instead, his eyes turned dark red, his body was covered in blood blisters and ulcers, and drops of milky white pus dripped onto the ground.

The ram's horns also became sharp and pointed, and new secondary horns grew on the sides, resembling a small patch of thorny grass. *Pfft, pfft.*

The dwarf goat stood up again, its eyes dark red, sparks flying from its nostrils, and it looked around irritably.

Bang!
Suddenly, it slammed its head against the cage, bending the iron bars.

My strength is more than twice as much as before!

'Is this what infernal transformation is?' Lin Hui stared intently at the infernal dwarf goat, finally understanding what it meant to be highly contagious.
He merely touched the other's fur lightly with his finger, using the inner force of purgatory energy. Without even causing a wound, he easily infected the creature.

'So, the reason I didn't become like this must be because the Blood Seal evolution itself eliminated the side effects and harms.'

'Then, what should we do with this hellish goat?' Lin Hui tried reaching out again, using his inner force imbued with the aura of hell to touch the goat.

Soon, the goat narrowed its eyes, trembled, and slowly retreated, emitting a fearful whimper.

puff.

Lin Hui used his internal force to instantly envelop the dwarf goat's head and squeeze it hard.

The goat's head was easily crushed like tofu, with bone fragments, cerebrospinal fluid, and brain marrow scattered all over the ground.

The dwarf goat fell to the ground and died, but strangely, its body soon burst into flames of black and red.

The dark red flames flickered and writhed.

If Lin Hui hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have found it hard to believe that the flames could actually writhe and twist as if they were alive.

The next second, he saw the black and red flames suddenly pounce on him. They were so fast that before he could react, they surged into his entire body, from his face, hands, neck and other exposed areas, and quickly merged and disappeared.

An indescribable feeling of comfort flooded Lin Hui's mind, causing him to groan involuntarily.

He could feel his internal energy increasing and his body being strengthened. The infernal black fire seemed to be burning away the impurities in his body, clearing away the toxins and hidden injuries that had accumulated before.

The large amount of drug toxicity produced due to excessive medication during this period was purified at this moment, and the discomfort disappeared rapidly.

Lin Hui raised his hand and saw that a translucent layer of stratum corneum had clearly appeared on his skin.

He felt a slight itch in his ear, and when he reached out to touch it, he discovered that a layer of hard keratin had grown on the surface of his ear, and even the ear canal, a vulnerable spot, was covered by this keratin. The two layers of keratin overlapped, like two doors, completely blocking the ear canal.

'Is this the Purgatory Infection? It's a bit perverse. It infects living beings, and then after the living beings are killed, the infects the creatures with power. I wonder if there is a limit to this acquisition. If there is no limit, then...' Lin Hui could already imagine how the creatures in the Purgatory were killing and devouring each other.

Looking at the corpse of the dwarf goat, the black and red infernal flames had now completely surged into his body.

Lin Hui discovered that the goat carcass had lost its characteristics as a creature of hell and had simply become a charred corpse.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that the ground beneath the corpse still bears traces of pus that had dripped down earlier, and those traces still emit a faint sulfurous smell.

'This kind of infection is difficult to contain; it seems we can't use it lightly unless absolutely necessary. We'll wait and see how the Infernal's characteristics develop further.'

Having evolved the lamb skewers and acquired the characteristics of a Purgatory creature, Lin Hui's expectations for the Blood Seal's evolution into other things have risen even higher.

He recalled the evolutionary things he had tested before.

Oh, and this too.

He burned the goat completely, cleaned up the traces, walked out of the room, and looked around the mansion courtyard.

One of the disciples on guard duty quickly stepped forward and inquired.

"What are your instructions, Abbot?"

"It's alright, you guys go ahead with your work."

Lin Hui waved.

After his disciple left, he looked around to make sure no one was there before slowly strolling around the courtyard.

It was still around 10 a.m.

In the courtyard, Song Zhanlong had built an oval-shaped pool with a flat white stone floor and several steps along the edge for people to sit in the water.

This was built by Song Zhanlong and the women in his mansion when they played water games.

At this moment, Lin Hui walked to the edge of the pool and looked at the crystal-clear water inside.

'Since the Blood Seal can evolve even intangible skills, what about this pool of water? Could it evolve into special resources that would benefit my cultivation?'

He thought about it for a moment and decided he could give it a try.

He immediately squatted down and gently splashed the pool water with his hand.

Blood Seal can evolve remotely within a certain distance, but he still feels more at ease touching it with his hand.

The bloodstain information quickly appeared below the field of vision.

'Pond water: Introduced from ordinary lake water, of average quality, sufficient for quenching thirst and consumption. Can evolve into branch 3.'

'1—Ultra-pure water.'

'2—Longevity Spring.'

'3 - Water Man. '

Lin Hui knew that this last one would definitely not be absent.

As for the first two, he clicked on them and took a look.

Ultrapure water: Highly purified water with extremely few impurities, meeting daily safe consumption needs.

Longevity Spring: A type of spring water that, when consumed regularly, can extend lifespan to a certain extent.

Neither of them met his needs, so he didn't hesitate.

He directly chose the third option, which only required six months, and then made his decision.
