Demon beasts had a special cultivation method. They could swallow the demonic cores of other demon beasts to increase their own strength. Some cultivators could swallow the nascent souls of others to increase their realms, but this was usually done by the evil cultivators. Ordinary cultivators had to refine the nascent souls of others.
However, for demon beasts, swallowing the demon cores of others was the most common way to increase their strength.
Ruff … Ruff …
Little White usually pretended to be cute, but it was still a demon beast. How could it not be tempted when it saw the dense demonic core?
Although the elixir pills that Xie Yujia gave it contained dense nature essence, they had to be converted into demonic essence, so the increase in demonic essence wasn't much. However, this demonic core contained the cultivation strength of a level 10 demon beast! Even if it could only convert one-third of it, it was still powerful!
The most valuable part of a demon beast's body was the demonic core that contained demonic essence, followed by the demonic souls that could be used to refine dharma treasures, and finally, the demon beast's skin and bones that could be used to make dharma treasures.
Hao Ren didn't have any techniques or treasures that could take the demonic souls of demon beasts, but he took six bead-like demonic cores.
These demon beasts were killed by big demon kings, and Hao Ren took their demonic cores to make use of them.
If Little White didn't follow Hao Ren, it would still be stuck in the mud of the lion's cave, and it would be hard to say if it could reach level 2 in its lifetime.
"Be good, and I'll give them to you," Hao Ren said.
These demonic cores didn't mean much to him, and he could give them to Xie Yujia to make elixir pills. However, Xie Yujia's elixir making technique mainly used celestial herbs, and she didn't dare to make the demonic cores from demon beasts.
It would be even more meaningless to sell them on Fifth Heaven for a pile of spirit stones. If he bartered them, he couldn't get anything good from Fifth Heaven and Sixth Heaven. Besides, the Herb King Master of Ethereal Summit could use elixir pills to trade for them.
There might be some good things on Seventh Heaven, but Hao Ren didn't want to involve the powerful sects on Seventh Heaven, so he wouldn't reveal the demonic cores of level 10 demon beasts.
The demonic core of a level 10 demon beast was something that even the sects on Seventh Heaven would want. Even Soul Formation Realm cultivators didn't dare to enter the Demon Sea, let alone the level 10 demon beasts in the outside world. Even if there were, who could kill them?
Chirp chirp … chirp chirp …
Little White swayed its body, its long tail almost hitting Hao Ren who was on its back. Seeing the big demon core in Hao Ren's hand and the fact that it couldn't eat it, it was anxious.
"I risked my life to get it for you. You must be obedient, okay?" Hao Ren lifted the demonic core and asked.
Chirp chirp!
Little White knew what Hao Ren meant and nodded vigorously.
Hao Ren put down the Demonic Core and moved it to Little White's mouth.
Little White was a Bin-level demon beast with dual elemental and fire-elemental attributes. Since this demon beast could cultivate to level 10 in the Demon Sea, it must be a Class A demon beast.
There was a trace of fire elemental energy in the red cold demonic core, which was at least in line with Little White's fire elemental energy.
Ahwooo!
Little White opened its big mouth and swallowed the demonic core. It was so anxious that it almost bit Hao Ren's wrist.
The moment Little White swallowed the demonic core, Hao Ren suddenly remembered that a level 10 demon beast was close to the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation. As a Bin-level spirit beast, Little White could only reach level 6 at most. Would it transform after eating this demonic core?
Growl …
A loud sound came from Little White's stomach, but it continued to fly and shook its butt as if it didn't feel any discomfort.
It seemed like the elemental energy of the demonic core matched with Little White's. After swallowing the demonic core, Little White would find some time to train.
If the demonic core of a level 10 demon beast was still alive, Little White would be able to kill it if it swallowed the demonic core of a level 10 demon beast. However, the body of this demonic core was dead, and its demonic soul was destroyed. Little White swallowed this demonic core, and it would be refined little by little.
Hu … Hu …
After eating the demonic core, Little White flew even faster than before. The effects of the demonic core hadn't shown, but Little White's speed had increased, which meant that it wasn't working hard enough.
"Damn dog …" Hao Ren reached out and pulled its ear.
Both Little White and the golden shield liked to slack off and didn't want to work hard. They were a good pair.
When they got close to Kunlun Mountain, Hao Ren took a detour of thousands of meters. Kunlun Mountain wasn't as big as the Demon Sea, but the Soul Formation Realm cultivators here weren't easy to deal with.
After flying for a long distance, Hao Ren took out his inspector's token and went through the array formation to the gate of the Dragon God Shrine.
The gloomy Dragon God Shrine looked the same as before; nothing had changed. Hao Ren left Little White at the gate and walked into the Dragon God Shrine.
The level 3 inspector's token made the level 1 and level 2 inspectors who were walking toward him saluted Hao Ren.
In the inspector system of the Dragon God Shrine, the hierarchy was very strict.
Hao Ren entered the small room and saw a level 2 inspector reading the mission book. When he saw Hao Ren coming in with the level 3 inspector's token, he left the room obediently.
"Senior, I'm here to submit my mission." Hao Ren put the round Penglai Immortal Token on the table and said politely, "The items have been delivered to Penglai Mountain."
"Oh?" Elder Luo, who was sorting out a list, looked up in surprise. He picked up the golden token on the table and looked at it.
"You didn't disappoint us. I'll add 600 contribution points to you now." Elder Luo took out the list, found Hao Ren's name, and added 600 points with a brush.
"Then … can I go and trade?" Hao Ren asked.
There were a few things that the golden shield wanted in the treasure vault of the Dragon God Shrine. Hao Ren came to the Dragon God Shrine in a hurry because he was afraid that other inspectors would take them.
"Of course." Elder Luo stood up with a smile and led Hao Ren to the underground treasure vault.
There were many treasures inside, and each of them had their own contribution points.
"You can come outside to register after you're done." Elder Luo bowed slightly to Hao Ren and walked out of the treasure vault.
Hao Ren didn't like being followed by Elder Luo, so he released the golden shield from his necklace and said, "Little shield, it's up to you now!"
Theoretically, these things could all be hidden in the necklace, but the Dragon God Shrine must have its own set of techniques, and it wouldn't let the items go for nothing.
Any one of the items here would be enough to make low-grade cultivators green with envy. That was why many young cultivators participated in the general exams of the Dragon God Shrine. After many rounds of selection, they hoped to become inspectors of the Dragon God Shrine.
The golden shield flew up from Hao Ren's palm and swept over the rows of shelves.
It didn't stop at all kinds of rare elixir pills and dharma treasures. Instead, it circled above a white cloth in the corner.
This white cloth was also on a shelf, but it was on the lowest shelf. If it weren't for the '60' label beside it, Hao Ren would have thought that it was a rag used to clean the treasure vault.
Everything in the treasure vault was' expensive ', and each of them cost more than 100 contribution points. The missions issued by the Dragon God Shrine usually only gave 40 to 50 contribution points. Only the extremely dangerous missions would give 80 to 90 contribution points.
In other words, it was unrealistic to pick a treasure from the treasure vault after completing one mission. One had to complete two or three missions to be qualified to pick a powerful dharma treasure or a special technique.
No inspector would be stupid enough to exchange his life for a white cloth that didn't have any spiritual essence and didn't know what it could be used for. After all, 60 contribution points weren't a small amount.
"Little shield, are you sure?" Hao Ren asked it.
Not sure if the golden shield could understand Hao Ren's words, it kept circling around the white cloth.
Hao Ren trusted the golden shield's judgment. Since it had leveled up again, it should be more sensitive to things like spirituality.
Hao Ren put away the white cloth, and the golden shield finally floated up in satisfaction. It circled around another shelf.
This time, it stopped in front of a worn-out glove, and Hao Ren put it away without hesitation. This glove cost 80 contribution points. It seemed like it didn't matter if it was useful or not. As long as it was in the treasure vault, it couldn't be easily taken away by inspectors after completing a mission.
However, since the appraisers of the Dragon God Shrine couldn't determine its use, it must have its own special features. It must have been unearthed by inspectors in some relics.
A piece of torn cloth and a worn-out glove cost 140 contribution points. The golden shield still wanted to look around, but Hao Ren ignored it. He walked to a shelf that he had noticed before and picked up a red jade thumb ring that cost 450 contribution points.
The items on this shelf were all full of Nature Essence and colorful, and each of them was worth more than 400 contribution points.
Several other inspectors were choosing treasures in the treasure vault, and some of them were level 4 inspectors.
When they saw Hao Ren pick up a red jade thumb ring that cost 450 contribution points, they were all surprised. Hao Ren was only at top-tier Dui-level, but he had already accumulated more than 400 contribution points!
They didn't expect that Hao Ren could earn 600 contribution points by completing a mission! Delivering items to the Demon Sea was extremely dangerous, and almost no one could complete it. That was why the rewards were quite high!
The golden shield spun rapidly before Hao Ren and emitted layers of golden light as if it wanted Hao Ren to pick something else.
Hao Ren wasn't that greedy. Last time, the golden shield had its eyes on a blue elixir pill and a black ore, which were probably related to making elixir pills and dharma treasures. They might be valuable, but Hao Ren didn't need them yet.
After deducting the red jade thumb ring, the white cloth, and the worn-out glove, Hao Ren only had 10 contribution points left. Since he couldn't take anything else, he walked out of the treasure vault.
The golden shield followed Hao Ren and flew out of the treasure vault.
When the inspectors saw the ugly round disk that looked like a lump of black iron, they were even more astonished. It was a supreme spiritual treasure! Although it looked ugly, it was a supreme spiritual treasure!
"This is Hao Ren, the East Ocean cultivator who defeated official inspector Qin Shaoyang in this year's Dragon God Shrine's general exams."
"His realm increased so fast! He is indeed a genius!"
Hao Ren didn't know what they were talking about. He walked out and took out the items for Elder Luo to register.
Six hundred Contribution Points were squandered clean in an instant. If he wanted to use the remaining 10 contribution points, he would have to accept more missions, but Hao Ren didn't plan to do so for the time being.
"Young Master, please wait!" Seeing Hao Ren put away the items and was about to walk out of the small room, Elder Luo yelled immediately, "The Shrine Master wants to see you."
