Da Yu was eager to slay the Moonlight Ripple Beast for three reasons.
First, he wanted to remove a stubborn thorn lodged in the Sea of Soaring Dragons.
Second, he hoped to obtain its blood to acquire the [Eclipse Moon Image] ability.
Third, recent investigations revealed the Moonlight Ripple Beast had consumed a peculiar marrow, making it even more formidable. This peculiar marrow was the Purifying Marrow, an exceptionally rare treasure.
The Purifying Marrow was ranked 96th on the Endless Ocean's list of wonders.
Although its rank was lower than the Sea-Rising Cherry Root, the effects of the Purifying Marrow were obvious, unlike the Sea-Rising Cherry Root, whose uses were ethereal and difficult to harness.
[Purifying Marrow: The heartwood marrow of the Bodhi Tree of Suffering. It can purify all discordant elements. Consumption provides a chance to obtain the S-rank skill, Purity Domain, ranked 69th.]
It could purify discordance and offered a chance to get an S-rank skill!
