Chapter 601: The First Third-Stage Demon Core

These little fellows were small in size and fast in speed; he believed that the dying Mystic Thunder Bird shouldn't be able to do much to them! The two sides were about four hundred zhang apart. The Purple Crystal Scorpions transformed into purple light and flew over in an instant.

As expected, that Mystic Thunder Bird really wasn't dead yet and was still waiting for him to approach. Unfortunately, it had encountered the Purple Crystal Scorpions.

Lin Zhangqing soon heard another sharp bird cry, and then there was no more movement!

This time, he believed that this Third-Stage Mystic Thunder Bird was definitely dead, so he put away the light gauze magic treasure he was draped in.

Then he went over to collect the spoils of war. The size of this Mystic Thunder Bird was not small, almost twice the size of Chu Yi's.

Plus, since it had just died, Lin Zhangqing immediately collected five large pots of its blood, using the wine pots that had originally held the Vermilion Fruit wine.

There was about ten-some jin. This rare thunder-attribute demon beast blood was the most suitable choice for drawing thunder-attribute spirit talismans! It was a pity he wasn't a talisman master. If only he were still in the Xuan Yan Continent! He could have kept this rare thunder-attribute demon beast blood to give to his mother; she would definitely have loved this gift.

Unfortunately, whether he would be able to return to the Xuan Yan Continent in his lifetime was an unknown. He reined in his messy thoughts and continued to race against time to process the corpse of this Mystic Thunder Bird.

Its feathers and demon core were also the first things Lin Zhangqing removed and packed into suitable jade boxes.

These were all precious Third-Stage materials, and it was also the first Third-Stage demon core he had obtained himself.

And it was thunder-attribute, which was very significant, plus its inherent value was also very high.

Lin Zhangqing could even find an artifact refiner to forge them into two Third-Stage magic treasures.

Finally, including the skeleton and demon beast meat, not a shred was wasted; he collected it all.

These things could be used to feed his spirit insects and spirit pets; after all, they were all Third-Stage items, which were of great benefit to them.

After cleaning up the battlefield, the sky was almost dark, so Lin Zhangqing didn't rush this little bit of time anymore.

He found a hidden location nearby and set up the Two Polarities Breath Absorption Array as his place to camp for the night.

After doing all this, he finally had time to give himself a good internal check. That Ren Water Divine Thunder from earlier,

although weakened layer by layer by his defensive spiritual artifacts, still caused some damage to his body when it finally hit him.

Fortunately, it wasn't too serious. He had been busy fighting and killing earlier, his spirit highly concentrated, so he hadn't felt much! Now that he had relaxed, he felt a dull pain all over his body. He immediately took a Second-Stage Spring Return Pill.

And operated his cultivation method to assist in absorbing the medicinal power. After running a heavenly circuit, he felt the symptoms improve quite a bit!

Fortunately, he was a body cultivator, relatively thick-skinned and fleshy. This minor injury should be completely healed in two or three days! He carefully released Chu Yi and checked it thoroughly, finding that its condition was slightly better than before.

Although it still hadn't woken up, its injuries had stabilized, which put Lin Zhangqing's mind at ease!

The rest could only be left for it to recover slowly. Fortunately, demon beasts had relatively strong vitality; a few months should be about enough! Every time he reached this moment, he missed the Xuan Yuan Heavy Water Bottle and the Hundred Flowers Drunken Soul Wine immensely! If he had the Drunken Soul Wine in hand, Chu Yi could have recovered sooner. Unfortunately, everything had been left in his inner space! Thinking of this, he couldn't help but check the light spot in his sea of consciousness again; it was still as dim and lusterless as ever, with no changes at all! However, he had long since grown accustomed to this situation over this period, and didn't have much hope for it.

Today, the Purple Crystal Scorpions had performed a meritorious service, so Lin Zhangqing specially got some Third-Stage demon beast meat to reward them.

Chu Er also had a share. For Chu Yi, Lin Zhangqing mashed the Third-Stage demon beast meat into a paste and fed it to it, hoping it would be of some help to its injuries.

After doing all this, he suddenly wondered if demon beast blood could be used to feed the Shocking Spirit Cicadas; after all, they were both liquids full of spiritual energy.

Thinking of this, he immediately tried it out. He poured some fresh Mystic Thunder Bird blood into a cup and released a few Shocking Spirit Cicadas from his spirit beast bracelet.

Unfortunately, they just circled around the cup and had no intention of going down to feed.

That's right! Shocking Spirit Cicadas feed by using their mouthparts to suck. Seeing they really had no intention of going down to feed,

Lin Zhangqing got some Red Sun Date juice out. This time, the Shocking Spirit Cicadas swarmed over! He picked up the two liquids to observe and compare them carefully, discovering that the fruit juice was likely a relatively clear spirit liquid, which was why the Shocking Spirit Cicadas liked to eat it.

While the demon beast blood, although also full of spiritual energy, felt relatively turbid overall, so the Shocking Spirit Cicadas just circled it but wouldn't eat.

After figuring it out, Lin Zhangqing still felt it was a pity. If the Shocking Spirit Cicadas could feed on demon beast blood, it would be much more convenient. Unfortunately, they didn't have blood-sucking attributes.

After fussing for a good while and feeding all his spirit insects and spirit beasts, he prepared to rest! He had injuries on his body these few days, so it wasn't suitable to cultivate the Thunder True Scripture. It was better to rest early, conserve his energy, and get up early tomorrow to continue his journey.

Early the next morning, after recovering the array disk of the Two Polarities Breath Absorption Array, he set off!

But in order to reach Jilei Mountain sooner, he still chose to fly at an altitude of about five hundred zhang.

At first, it was relatively smooth, but after flying for more than two hours, he encountered two late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Zhangqing immediately stopped moving forward. This time, these two cultivators came aggressively; they didn't look like they were here to request an alliance at all! And as soon as they saw Lin Zhangqing, they immediately separated and flanked him from the left and right. The intention behind this move was very obvious!

It was clearly malicious, and they were also afraid he would run away! Since that was the case, Lin Zhangqing wouldn't be polite with them. With a thought, all the Purple Crystal Scorpions flew out.

They also split into two groups, left and right, then transformed into purple light and greeted them.

Before those two cultivators could even get within five hundred zhang of Lin Zhangqing, they had already been shot into sieves by the Purple Crystal Scorpions and fell directly into the forest below.

Lin Zhangqing first let the Purple Crystal Scorpions go down to sweep the forest below, and after confirming there was no danger,

he went down and collected the storage bags from the two unlucky fellows, as well as the spiritual artifacts that had fallen around them.

Afterward, he used a Fireball Technique to dispose of the corpses, letting them return to dust and earth.
