Shenwu Yutianlei

Chapter 248 Collecting the Corpse

"Virtue!" Lin Ruyi said coquettishly and rolled her eyes. Her lively eyes sparkled in the sunlight, like the bright stars in the night sky. This charming action made her more lively and playful in this dangerous environment.

Afterwards, the two of them quickly set about fishing out the corpse of the Wave Devourer. They moved swiftly and in perfect harmony, as if they had experienced this scenario countless times before.

This Wave Devouring Beast was a half-step third-order demon beast, which was rare in this area. For cultivators below the Golden Core Realm, it was simply a rare treasure.

The first was the demon pill that gathered the essence of the whole body of the Wave Devourer. This demon pill was like a mysterious gem that was full of light and color, emitting an elusive and powerful aura. The surface of the demon pill was gleaming with a strange luster, as if countless profound and obscure runes were looming in it. It was the source of all the power of the Wave Devourer. The boundless spiritual power was surging in it, like a raging sea. Just by getting close, people could deeply feel the overwhelming force.

Unfortunately, the energy in the demon beast pill was too complex, containing a large amount of violent demon beast power. These powers intertwined and conflicted with each other, like countless turbulent currents colliding wildly inside the demon pill. When humans tried to absorb it directly, the violent power would rampage through the body, destroying the meridians and internal organs, bringing great danger.

The energy in the demon pill is not just spiritual power, but also mixed with the primitive instincts and wild will of the Wave Devourer. This will is highly aggressive and exclusive, and will have an impact on the human soul and consciousness. Once rashly absorbed, it is likely to cause mental confusion and fall into a state of madness.

Therefore, humans cannot easily absorb the energy in the demon pill, and can only take a more secure way, which is to refine it into a pill. Through the exquisite skills and special alchemy methods of the alchemist, the demon pill is tempered and purified for a long time. The impurities and violent power in it are removed, and the pure essence is condensed into a pill.

In the process of refining the elixir, it is necessary to strictly control the temperature and accurately match various spiritual materials to neutralize the violent properties of the demon elixir. Only after such a complex and delicate process can the final elixir be safely absorbed and refined by humans, thereby improving their cultivation and enhancing their strength.

In addition to the demon pill of the Devouring Wave Beast, the second most valuable thing was the flesh and blood of the Devouring Wave Beast, which was a rare treasure coveted by countless Foundation Establishment cultivators. The fresh flesh and blood seemed to exude an alluring fragrance, and every strand of its texture was filled with powerful vitality and vigorous energy.

If a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment stage can feed on its flesh and blood for a long time, then a breakthrough will be as easy as eating and drinking. The rich energy and nourishing power contained in its flesh and blood can continuously strengthen the cultivator's bones like a warm spring breeze, making it more tenacious and stable. At the same time, the nourishing power will slowly penetrate into the meridians, widen the meridians' capacity, and make the flow of spiritual power smoother and unimpeded. In this way, the bottlenecks encountered by cultivators on the road of cultivation can be easily broken through with this powerful help.

As for the hard parts of the Wave Devouring Beast, such as the horns and bones, they can be used to refine second-level spiritual tools. These parts are extremely hard, and their luster reveals an indestructible texture. As long as the craftsman's skills are superb enough, with his deep understanding of the materials and extraordinary refining skills, it is more than enough to refine these materials into second-level high-quality spiritual tools. Whether it is to create a sharp sword or a strong and indestructible shield, it can show earth-shaking power in battle and become a powerful reliance for the monks.

In this world of cultivation where the strong prey on the weak, such treasures are undoubtedly coveted by many cultivators.

Shen Yun's eyes were like torches, his hands quickly formed seals, and he was muttering something, controlling the Jinghong Sword. The Jinghong Sword was flashing with a sharp light, drawing a dazzling trajectory in the air, and stabbing straight towards the belly of the Devouring Wave Beast.

With a "puff", the Jinghong Sword easily cut a large hole in the tough abdomen of the Devouring Wave Beast. Then, a demon pill emitting colorful light slowly fell out from the wound. The light on the demon pill flickered, as if telling of the powerful power it contained.

Shen Yun did not dare to slack off, and quickly circulated the spiritual power in his body, condensing a huge palm made of spiritual power. The spiritual palm was lifelike, emitting a soft light, and steadily held the fallen demon pill. Shen Yun carefully controlled the spiritual palm and gently wiped away the traces of blood left on the demon pill. His movements were gentle and focused, as if he was treating a rare treasure.

After confirming that the demon pill was cleaned up, Shen Yun waved his hand and put the demon pill into the storage ring. A gratified smile appeared on his face, as if he had seen the reward after completing the task. He knew in his heart that when he turned in the task, this precious demon pill would be the best proof.

Then, Shen Yun began to methodically decompose the rest of the Wave Devouring Beast's body parts. His eyes were focused, his hands were constantly moving, and he carefully processed each part. Whether it was the precious blood or the flesh full of energy, these were rare good things, and their value was no less than that of an ordinary second-level spiritual plant.

Shen Yun's movements were skillful and quick, but even so, it was inevitable that a lot of blood would gradually spread out under the push of the river. The blood spread in the river, forming patches of dark red marks, and the bloody smell filled the air.

"Let's move faster." Lin Ruyi suddenly said, with a hint of urgency and nervousness in her voice.

Upon hearing this, Shen Yun immediately stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction of Lin Ruyi's gaze. The scene in the distance made his heart tighten. He saw groups of monsters gathering in their direction. There were many of them, densely packed. Among them were a large number of second-level monsters. Those monsters were agile and had fierce eyes. There were even more than a dozen second-level late-stage monsters. Their aura was even more powerful, giving people an invisible sense of oppression.

There were so many monsters, a huge group, and their threat was much greater than that of a single Wave Devourer. The eyes of the monsters flashed with greed and ferocity, as if they had seen a sumptuous meal.

Moreover, Shen Yun had just experienced a tough battle with the Devouring Wave Beast, and was extremely tired. His clothes were soaked with sweat, beads of sweat were still rolling down his forehead, and every breath seemed a little heavy. There was less than 30% of the spiritual power left in his body, and the empty spiritual sea made him feel weak.

If it was in his prime, Shen Yun would have been fearless with his strength. Facing such a large number of monsters, he was confident that he could fight his way out and escape unscathed. But now... He looked at the gradually approaching group of monsters, and a trace of worry rose in his heart. The little spiritual power left made him clearly know that it would be extremely dangerous to confront these monsters head-on at this moment, and he might even fall into a desperate situation. He tightly grasped the weapon in his hand, frowned, and his brain worked rapidly, thinking about how to deal with it.
