nLooking at the demon beast egg not far away, Su Zimo felt like he had survived a disaster.
nIf not for the fact that he had cultivated two high quality Marrow Cleansing techniques and the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, he might have been sucked to death by the demon beast egg in an instant.
n“Egg?”
nThe spirit monkey walked close to the demon beast egg and blinked its eyes. He grabbed it and sized it up curiously.
nSurveying the place, Su Zimo’s gaze landed on a place and his eyes lit up.
nBeneath the corpse of the alpha wolf was a round elixir around the size of a fist – it was light red.
nDemon beast Inner Core!
nIt was because of this round object that the alpha was able to produce such terrifying strength with a casual strike.
nIn fact, it even destroyed Su Zimo’s six inferior-grade flying swords!
nInner Cores varied in color and it had something to do with the different species of demon beasts.
nFor aquatic demon beasts such as the Water Shield Crocodile and Ancient Spirit Fish, the Inner Cores they form would be more inclined towards water attributes and would mostly be blue.
nAs for some grass type demon beasts such as the Clover Sword Grass and Purple Blooded Vein, the Inner Cores they form would be inclined towards grass attributes and would mostly be green.
nInner Cores had different grades as well.
nBe it any color, the purer it was, the higher the grade.
nThe light red Inner Core of the alpha could only be considered as a middle-grade Inner Core.
nA dark red color would be superior-grade and a deep red color would be supreme-grade.
nIf it could condense a scarlet Inner Core that was the shade of blood, it would be a perfect Inner Core!
nEven ancient ferocious beasts with pure bloodlines might not be able to condense perfect Inner Cores, much less ordinary or ancient remnant beasts!
nThe grades did not refer to the impurities within the Inner Cores, but the purity level and the size of its strength.
nThe beasts could similarly be at early-stage Inner Core, however, ten inferior-grade Inner Core spirit demons may not be a match for a single middle-grade Inner Core spirit demon.
nThe alpha wolf was an extremely ordinary spirit beast and it was already pretty good for it to be able to condense a middle-grade Inner Core.
nSu Zimo picked up the alpha’s Inner Core and waved to the spirit monkey before heading towards the cave.
nThe skies were already dark and night was about to descend.
nEven though the man and monkey’s strength was no longer the same as before, lingering outside the Cang Lang Mountain Range was still extremely dangerous.
nWhen he returned to the cave, Su Zimo divided the Inner Core into two and handed half to the spirit monkey with a smile. “Monkey, this is the alpha wolf’s Inner Core and it’s a great tonic. Eat it and cultivate.”
nThe spirit monkey did not decline and swallowed without chewing it.
nAfter a slight delay, the spirit monkey’s eyes lit up and its expression changed.
nIt hurriedly sat upright and began to cultivate, refining the energy of the Inner Core as its breathing became heavier.
nSu Zimo placed the other half of the alpha wolf’s Inner Core into his mouth, chewing it slowly.
nThe Inner Core wasn’t tough and was a little soft. After it entered Su Zimo’s stomach, he could feel a massive surge of energy bursting out from it!
nThe energy was a little warm and flowed through his limbs, entering his organs.
nIn that very cave, Su Zimo nearly exploded due to the energy overload of the Scarlet Flame Fruit in the past.
nNow, he did not dare to get careless as he hurriedly cultivated the Organs Refinement sutra, breathing in and out to try and refine the power of the Inner Core that was running rampant in his body.
nTime slowly passed.
nThe man and the monkey sat in the cave with their eyes tightly shut. Fog rose from their bodies as a dense mist swirled around them.
nTo be fair, if not for this alpha wolf Inner Core, it would be impossible for Su Zimo to cultivate the Organs Refinement section without a couple years of research.
nBut now, thanks to the Inner Core, he could gradually feel himself approaching the barrier of the Organs Refinement section!
nInner Cores were basically a combination of the bloodline and five organs qi. By fusing one’s qi and blood, a core would be formed.
nThe creation of an Inner Core was equivalent to a concrete example of the five organ qi and it activated the Organs Refinement section channeling. Gradually, Su Zimo found the feeling on how to refine his organs.
nBy refining the five organs, essence qi of the five organs would be produced.
nThe five organs corresponded to skin, flesh, tendons, bones and marrow.
nOrgans Refinement was not only an improvement of the five organs, it was also a baptism for the body – a conclusion of sorts to the first few chapters of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.
nAfter a night, Su Zimo continued cultivating.
nUnknowingly, the injuries inflicted by the battle against the alpha had already silently healed.
nUnder the nourishment of the five organs essence qi, the hidden ailments left in his body were also repaired.
nAs the sun rose, the spirit monkey’s cultivation came to an end.
nGlancing at Su Zimo who was still cultivating, the spirit monkey did not disturb him. Instead, it crept to a corner.
nIt looked around furtively and after ensuring that there was no one else, the spirit monkey secretly took out the demon beast egg and placed it under its butt.
nSquatting down, the spirit monkey squatted on the demon beast egg in a weird posture, as though it was passing motion. However, there was no feces.
nFurthermore, the spirit monkey was not sitting on it either.
nOn the other side, Su Zimo was still cultivating.
nThe entire cave was shrouded by a vermilion mist as demonic qi surged into the sky, causing one’s heart to palpitate!
nThe spirit beasts nearby had long fled from the area after sensing that aura.
nA figure appeared vaguely within the thick demonic qi. With every single breath, there was a current of air near his nose as though an ancient demon was devouring the entire world!
nYet another day and night had passed.
nAll of a sudden!
nTwo demonic beams of light shone in the vermilion mist.
nIt was a pair of eyes.
nSu Zimo’s cultivation was over. Looking at the thick demonic qi around him, he opened his mouth suddenly and sucked violently.
nThe immense demonic qi gushed into Su Zimo’s mouth continuously in a discernible pace.
nIn the blink of an eye, everything vanished.
nSu Zimo stood up, twisting his neck and stretching his limbs. A series of crackling sounds came from within his body, as if beans were being fried.
nHis organs vibrated gently as his blood rumbled like a tsunami while his tendons and bones rang together!
nThe alpha’s Inner Core provided an immense amount of help to Su Zimo.
nIn just two nights of cultivation, his physical strength had risen by an entire level thanks to the nourishment of the five organs qi!
nHowever, at the same time, cultivation of the Organs Refinement section had once again revealed a hidden ailment of demonic cultivation.
nDemonic qi!
nSu Zimo’s body had produced demonic qi!
nWhen he was cultivating the Marrow Cleansing section, due to the blood swapping, Su Zimo’s new bloodline was completely demonic.
nThe demonic bloodline could alter Su Zimo’s physique and appearance.
nThankfully, he had managed to obtain the Void Thunder Manual in Thunderclap Valley by accident.
nEven though it was incomplete, there was the Thunder Marrow Cleansing Sutra that could help him get rid of the hidden ailment of demonification temporarily.
nBut now, the demonic qi in Su Zimo’s body was produced by his organs. The Thunder Marrow Cleansing Sutra could only cleanse the marrow, not the organs.
nNaturally, the situation this time round was slightly different from before.
nSu Zimo’s appearance could turn completely demonic through his bloodline.
nHowever, demonic qi would not alter Su Zimo’s physique or appearance.
nThat meant to say that Su Zimo could continue to cultivate the Organs Refinement section and make use of the demonic qi to nourish his skin, flesh, tendons, bone and marrow while strengthening his body.
nThe hidden ailment was whether he would be noticed by others when he was unable to make use of the power of his demonic qi.
nAfter all, demon qi was way too different from a human’s aura.
nAny cultivators would be able to discern it at the first instance.
