Looking at the demon beast egg not far away, Su Zimo felt as though he had just survived a calamity.
If not for the fact that he had cultivated two top-notch Marrow Cleansing Blood Swapping techniques and the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, he would have been sucked to death by this demon beast egg instantly.
"Egg?"
The spirit monkey approached the demon beast egg. Blinking its eyes, it grabbed it and sized it up curiously.
Su Zimo surveyed his surroundings. His eyes lit up when his gaze landed on a spot.
Under the corpse of the wolf king, there was a round core the size of a fist. It was light red in color.
A demon beast's Inner Core!
It was because the Ash Wolf King had such a round object that he could unleash such terrifying power with a casual strike.
It even shattered Su Zimo's six inferior-grade flying swords!
The colors of the Inner Core were different and they were related to the type of demon beast.
Some demon beasts that lived in the water, such as the Water Crocodile and Ancient Spirit Fish, would condense Inner Cores that were of the water attribute and were mostly blue in color.
Some demon beasts that were of the vegetation type, such as the Three-Leaved Sword Grass and Purple Blood Vine, would condense Inner Cores that were of the wood attribute and were mostly green in color.
Inner Cores were also divided into grades.
No matter what color it was, the purer the color, the higher the grade.
For example, this light red wolf's Inner Core could only be considered as a middle-grade Inner Core.
A dark red Inner Core was considered as a high-grade Inner Core. A dark red Inner Core was considered as a supreme-grade Inner Core.
If one could condense an Inner Core that was as red as blood, it would be a perfect Inner Core!
Even ancient ferocious beasts with pure bloodlines might not be able to condense a perfect Inner Core, let alone ordinary spirit beasts and ancient remnant beasts!
The grade did not refer to the impurities in the Inner Core. Instead, it referred to the purity of the Inner Core and the amount of energy it contained.
At the same early-stage Inner Core realm, even ten inferior-grade Inner Core spirit demons might not be a match for a middle-grade Inner Core spirit demon.
The wolf king was just an ordinary spirit beast. It was already considered good that it could condense a middle-grade Inner Core.
Su Zimo picked up the wolf king's Inner Core and beckoned to the spirit monkey before walking towards the cave.
The sky was already dark and night was about to fall.
Although the strength of the man and monkey was no longer the same as before, it was still very dangerous to stay outside the Cang Lang Mountain Range.
Back in the cave, Su Zimo split the inner core into two and handed half to the spirit monkey. He smiled and said, "Monkey, this is the inner core of the Wolf King. It's a great tonic. Take it and cultivate."
The spirit monkey did not decline. It received half of the alpha wolf's inner core and swallowed it without even chewing.
After a slight pause, the spirit monkey's eyes widened and its expression changed drastically!
The spirit monkey sat up in a flurry and started cultivating. It continuously refined the energy in the inner core and its aura gradually became heavier.
Su Zimo placed the other half of the Wolf King's Core into his mouth and chewed slowly.
The Wolf King's Inner Core was not hard, and was a little soft. After chewing it and swallowing it into his stomach, he could clearly feel a huge surge of energy bursting forth!
This power carried a trace of heat as it flowed through his limbs and bones, surging towards his internal organs.
In this cave, Su Zimo had almost exploded from the energy of the Scarlet Flame Fruit.
Now, Su Zimo did not dare to be careless. He hurriedly circulated the Organs Refinement Sutra and breathed in and out to refine the energy of the inner core that was rampaging in his body.
Time passed bit by bit.
A man and a monkey sat in the cave with their eyes closed. Fog rose from their bodies and lingered around them.
To be fair, if not for this alpha wolf's inner core, it would be impossible for Su Zimo to enter the Organs Refinement section without a few years of exploration and research.
But now, with the help of the alpha wolf's inner core, Su Zimo was gradually reaching the threshold of the Organs Refinement section!
The inner core was, in fact, the fusion of the blood and the five internal organs. Blood and Qi combined to form a core.
Refining the inner core was equivalent to refining the five internal organs' Qi. It would drive the circulation of the Organs Refinement section and Su Zimo gradually found the feeling of refining his organs.
Refining the five internal organs would produce the essence of the five internal organs.
The five internal organs corresponded to the skin, flesh, tendons, bones and marrow.
Organs Refinement not only increased the strength of the five internal organs, it was also a type of baptism and refinement of the entire body. It was a summary of the first few sections of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness.
A night had passed and Su Zimo showed no signs of stopping his cultivation.
Unknowingly, the injuries from the battle with the alpha wolf had already healed silently.
Under the nourishment and refinement of the five internal organs' Qi, the hidden injuries in his body were also healed.
When the sun rose, the spirit monkey's cultivation ended.
The spirit monkey took a look at Su Zimo who was still cultivating and did not disturb him. Instead, it tiptoed to a corner.
It looked around furtively and did not discover anyone else. Only then did the spirit monkey secretly take out the demonic beast egg and place it under its buttocks.
The spirit monkey squatted on the demonic beast egg in a weird posture, as if it was relieving itself. However, there was no feces coming out.
Furthermore, the spirit monkey did not sit properly.
On the other side, Su Zimo's cultivation was still ongoing.
The entire cave was filled with a crimson red fog. One could not see clearly and the demonic aura was overwhelming. It was heart-palpitating!
When the spirit beasts in the vicinity sensed this aura, they had already stayed far away.
A figure was faintly discernible in the thick demonic aura. As it breathed, there was a flow of air from its mouth and nose. It was as if an ancient demon was breathing in and out!
Another day and night passed.
All of a sudden!
Two beams of demonic light flashed in the thick crimson fog.
It was a pair of eyes.
Su Zimo had ended his cultivation. Looking at the thick demonic aura around him, he suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled.
The immense demonic aura gushed into Su Zimo's mouth continuously at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared completely.
Su Zimo stood up, twisted his neck and stretched his limbs. A series of crackling sounds could be heard from his body, as if beans were being fried.
His organs were trembling slightly, his blood was like a tidal wave and his bones and tendons were ringing!
It had to be said that the alpha wolf's Inner Core was of great help to Su Zimo.
In just a single day and two nights of cultivation, Su Zimo's physical strength had increased by an entire level under the nourishment of the qi of his five organs!
However, at the same time, the hidden dangers of demonic cultivation appeared once more when he cultivated the Organs Refinement section.
Demonic qi!
Demonic qi was produced in Su Zimo's body!
When he cultivated the Marrow Cleansing section, Su Zimo's new bloodline was all demonic due to the Marrow Cleansing section.
However, the demonic bloodline could change Su Zimo's physique and appearance.
Thankfully, Su Zimo obtained the Void Thunder Manual in Thunderclap Valley by chance.
Although it was incomplete, there was a section of the Thunderclap Marrow Cleansing Sutra in it that resolved the hidden dangers of demonic cultivation temporarily.
But now, the demonic qi produced in Su Zimo's body was from refining his organs. The Thunderclap Marrow Cleansing Sutra could only cleanse the marrow but not the organs.
Of course, the situation this time round was slightly different from the previous times.
The bloodline could allow Su Zimo to transform into a demon completely and change his appearance.
However, the demonic qi could not change Su Zimo's physique and appearance.
In other words, Su Zimo could continue cultivating the Organs Refinement section and use the demonic qi to nourish his skin, flesh, tendons, marrow and strengthen his body.
However, the hidden danger was that Su Zimo could not use the power of the demonic qi or others would definitely sense it.
After all, demonic qi was way too different from the aura of humans.
Any cultivator would be able to tell right away.
