Duan Gujin's mind flickered with a thought.

"Or I could take this opportunity to thoroughly loot this place!"

If that middle-aged man knew of this thought, he would surely crush him to death with one blow.

"Miao Yu, you shall follow him from now on. You must listen to everything he says, do whatever he asks! Be obedient!"

The middle-aged man said to Miao Yu.

Hearing the words of the middle-aged man, Miao Yu's nose soured, and she nearly burst into tears.

She was acutely aware that her father had spent much effort over the years, tirelessly gathering any materials just to alleviate her pain when the Absolute Yin Body acted up.

To cure her illness, her grandmother even went as far as to consume her Life Essence to divine her future.

The simple twelve characters from that divination had come at the cost of her grandmother's Life Essence, which made Miao Yu feel extremely uneasy.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "Uncle, rest assured! I will do my utmost to heal Miao Yu!"

"That's good! If Miao Yu dies, I will make sure you join her in death!"

The middle-aged man threatened.

Hearing the middle-aged man's threat, Duan Gujin could only scratch his nose and thought, "I won't quarrel with you. When have I ever been threatened? Since you threaten me, it would only be right that I take all your treasures, and your daughter, not leaving a single one behind!"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly shone brightly and he said, "Kid, I will take you to the Heavenly Fox Clan's baptism ground right now. I want to see if our Heavenly Fox Clan's baptism ground can cure Miao Yu's Absolute Yin Body."

"Alright! Please lead the way, Uncle!"

Duan Gujin was unaffected, like a dead pig not fearing boiling water.

"Let's go together!"

Following the middle-aged man's lead, they traveled for several kilometers before arriving at a heavily guarded cave.

Duan Gujin was surprised to see countless Defensive Magic Arrays outside the cave, contrary to his belief that the Devil Clan wouldn't set up such formations.

As soon as the Defensive Magic Arrays were deactivated, a powerful Demon Saint aura emanated from the cave.

After sweeping over the three of them, a deep female voice came from the cave.

"Clan Leader, why have you brought a Human Clan member here?"

The middle-aged man reported, "Great Elder, this human is Miao Yu's True Destiny. I've brought him for the baptism!"

"Is that so, come in then!"

After receiving the Demon Saint's permission, the middle-aged man led Duan Gujin and Miao Yu into the cave.

Under the middle-aged man's guidance, they soon arrived at a small pool emitting a thick white mist.

Surrounding the pool was a circular Defensive Magic Array, preventing others from recklessly entering.

The middle-aged man promptly pulled out a small spoon from the side and dipped it into the pool.

After the spoon filled with water, he pulled it back out.

He then presented the water in the spoon for Duan Gujin to inspect, asking him to analyze exactly what the water in the pool was.

Duan Gujin took the spoon and peered into the water with his Divine Sense.

After a while, he realized what the water in the pool was.

"This liquid is Ancient Dragon Marrow! I did not expect you to have found Ancient Dragon Marrow!"

Duan Gujin's face was full of shock.

Ancient Dragon Marrow is an extremely rare Spiritual Liquid that, according to records, is formed from a Spirit Grass after millennia of sedimentation.

This particular Spirit Grass was a favorite of ancient dragons millennia ago. Hence, the Spiritual Liquid formed from millennia of sedimentation of this Spirit Grass came to be known as Ancient Dragon Marrow.

Why did this unique Spiritual Liquid form? Based on clues that have been validated, it is speculated that ancient dragons might have accumulated all the Spirit Grass in a certain cave and then enjoyed it there.

The formation of Ancient Dragon Marrow could very likely be due to the sudden collapse of the cave that entombed the ancient dragons and the Spirit Grass, both decaying together over millennia, ultimately resulting in the Ancient Dragon Marrow.

"Unexpectedly, you recognized it as Ancient Dragon Marrow right away. Young man, you are quite something!"

The middle-aged man suddenly praised.

Duan Gujin's eyes flashed as he said, "Uncle, if you let Miao Yu nourish her body with these Ancient Dragon Marrow, it indeed could help suppress her Absolute Yin Energy temporarily, but Ancient Dragon Marrow has a very special power. In general, once a living creature absorbs a certain amount of it, any excess would no longer bring any benefits! This Ancient Dragon Marrow can only assist Miao Yu once."

"I know, I once invited a Martial Saint of the Human Clan here, and from that Martial Saint, I learned of this news," the middle-aged man said lightly.

Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Duan Gujin suddenly felt an inexplicable sensation, suspecting that with the middle-aged man's temperament, he should not be willing to interact with Martial Saints of the Human Clan.

So, he deliberately probed, "Unexpectedly, Uncle, you would befriend a Martial Saint of the Human Clan!"

"Ha ha ha, I think you misunderstood! I don't want to beat around the bush, I'll just tell you directly! That Demon Saint was captured by us, and if he refused to spill his secrets, his companions would face death. With no other choice, he had to reveal everything he knew! It's as simple as that! You need not know too much about what followed!"
