Chapter 485: Chapter 290: Young Hero Duan’s New Demon Technique, Initiated!
The Iron Blood Sect treats its outer disciples extremely poorly, not even considering them as their own. They treat them worse than cattle and horses, with the utmost ruthlessness.
The room where Duan Yun and the Murong brothers lived was, of course, also poor.
A mud-wall and thatched house, with the stables right next to it, emanating a foul stench.
But at this moment, a mysterious herbal aroma actually overshadowed the stable’s foul smell, truly miraculous.
After hearing the Murong brothers’ words, Duan Yun sniffed carefully and discovered that this herbal aroma was indeed emanating from his body.
Could it be the newly formed blood?
Duan Yun concentrated his thoughts, his mind sinking into his body, extending a finger.
Swish, swish, swish...
A stream of blood shot from his fingertip into the bowl.
The herbal aroma in the air suddenly became more pronounced.
The Murong brothers took another sniff of Duan Yun and found that he was no longer as fragrant, leaving them somewhat disappointed.
Their gazes quickly focused on the blood in the bowl.
There wasn’t much blood, and its color had a faint greenish tinge, not very apparent, but the herbal aroma was quite real.
At that moment, Duan Yun even felt like he had returned to his old home in Lishui City.
At that time, as a gynecologist, he saw patients and prepared medicine daily and was covered in this kind of scent.
However, the herbal fragrance of this bowl of blood was extremely complex, possibly containing dozens or even hundreds of components, beyond his professional discernment.
The Murong brothers, staring at this bowl of blood, felt refreshed just by its scent.
Though not an expert in pharmacology, he could sense the blood was quite extraordinary.
Duan Yun picked up the bowl of blood he had just refined, asking: "Do you want to try its effects?"
The Murong brothers showed a wary expression, as this blood, though fragrant, had unknown ingredients.
As the saying goes, "Medicine, three parts poison," he didn’t want to be poisoned to death by Old Demon Duan’s blood.
Duan Yun looked at his sparse hair and said, "Then try it as a topical application first."
So, the Murong brothers applied a layer of the blood on his head, only to find the scent delightful, better than the Skin Nourishing Lotion from the Heavenly Water Pavilion.
The next day, Duan Yun was awakened by the Murong brothers’ strange screams.
"Hair! My hair!"
Duan Yun was startled, his first reaction was to think the hair had fallen out, then there would be a big problem with this blood.
When the Murong brothers came in, Duan Yun was really shocked.
It wasn’t that the Murong brothers had lost their hair but that they had too much.
If yesterday it was a sparse Mediterranean on top, now it was a dense head of hair, even a bit curly.
If dyed yellow and red, one might think he came from the Western Regions.
Honestly, his slightly curly hair reminded Duan Yun of Bu Jingyun, portrayed by He Rundong.
Now with a face somewhat resembling Dehua, topped with Bu Jingyun’s hair, though peculiar, it was much better than the Mediterranean look.
The Murong brothers were extremely delighted, couldn’t help but flip a few somersaults like a monkey on the spot.
At this moment, he picked up the remaining blood in that bowl.
Seeing this, Duan Yun said, "What are you doing? It’s been sitting overnight, it’s expired."
"Expired or not, I’ll still taste it for saltiness."
Saying that, he took a gulp.
Only one gulp, as the taste wasn’t much different from drinking medicine.
Not tasty.
That day, after the Murong brothers finished scrubbing the toilet, he even volunteered to wash underwear, and after washing underwear he went to feed the horses, bathe the horses, and was still plastering the new house till midnight.
Duan Yun was shocked.
This guy used to complain as soon as he started working, always threatening to kill everyone, downright extreme.
But today, he actually volunteered for work, did so much work, yet returned with a peaceful face.
Duan Yun couldn’t help but wonder if this guy couldn’t endure hardships anymore, was this a sign of going mad?
Some people become especially calm and gentle before going mad, akin to the calm before a storm.
Duan Yun couldn’t help but say: "Don’t get too extreme, I haven’t even started the transformation yet."
The Murong brothers said: "What extreme? I feel great now, full of energy, and can even feel the beauty of ’Compassionate Heart.’
"Compassionate Heart?"
The Murong brothers said earnestly: "Don’t you understand Medical Practitioner’s Compassionate Heart, if everyone showed a bit more love, the Martial World would become a wonderful place."
The true medical practitioner’s compassionate heart Duan Yun heard the Green Blade Demon dare to speak like this in front of him, wished to stab him twice.
But it was clear, what the Murong brothers were saying wasn’t false.
Though he did so much work this year, he was unusually calm, without a trace of aggression.
Saying that, he began looking around.
Duan Yun couldn’t help asking: "What are you looking for?"
"Where’s the remaining blood?" the Murong brothers asked.
"Poured it away." Duan Yun replied.
"Poured it? Such a miraculous blood you poured away, you don’t know, after I drank that blood, how peaceful my mind and body were, and so full of energy." the Murong brothers exclaimed.
Saying that, he looked at Duan Yun again, saying: "How about you refine some again tonight?"
"No, I still feel there’s something wrong with this cultivation technique." Duan Yun pondered.
"What’s wrong?" the Murong brothers asked, bewildered.
"The new blood I refined has a herbal aroma, if all the blood in my body turned like that, wouldn’t I become a walking medicinal herb?" Duan Yun pondered.
The Murong brothers fell into contemplation, saying: "You’ve reminded me, there was a very dark period in the Martial Arts World, during which many Evil Demons were skilled in planting medicinal herbs."
"Planting medicinal herbs?"
"Using humans as herbs, those who cultivated Evil Skills would become Great Medicines themselves, consumed by Evil Demons." the Murong brothers answered.
"So they eat people?" Duan Yun said, expression serious.
"At that time, people were herbs, herbs were people, would Evil Demons care about these things? But later, some proud disciples of major sects, like the Sect Leader of the Huangshan Sword Sect’s own son also got turned into Great Medicine and eaten, sparking a lot of outrage from Martial World sects.
