Chapter 576

"It is precisely because of this that I was able to easily break through the skull of the Mang-Tooth Elephant."

Jiang Xue said softly, and Himeko realized.

"No wonder I couldn't make an attack that would damage the bones of the Mang-Tooth Elephant no matter what."

"It's not just because of the weapon."

Jiang Xue shook her head.

"Miss Himeko, you should have felt it just now; when your power touched the beast, it dissipated a lot."

"This is because of the spiritual power within the beast. This kind of spiritual power is second only to the True Essence of immortal cultivators and the demonic power of demon beasts."

"It naturally has a suppressive effect on all our lower-level powers."

"That's why people often say that the only things that can deal with immortal cultivators are demon beasts and other immortal cultivators."

Himeko had already figured this out just now, but even so, confirming it from Jiang Xue's mouth, she couldn't help but want to complain...

Whether it's immortal cultivators, demon beasts, or beasts...

These existences are too rogue for mortals!

"Beast bones can be used to make weapons, and beast fur can also be made into powerful armor."

Drummond said softly, looking at the beast with excitement.

"The armor made from the fur of this Mang-Tooth Elephant can completely arm the entire Shushan Village."

"The fur of an early-stage Essence Refinement beast, even just a foot of it, could sell for a sky-high price in Teyvat."

"This thing is priceless and in short supply."

"I heard that back in Snezhnaya, they emptied out most of the Northland Bank just to buy a late-stage Foundation Establishment beast."

"But the harvest was worth it; they formed an army that was impervious to swords and spears."

Jiang Xue shook her head and said softly:

"That's not important; the most important thing is the beast itself."

"After a martial artist absorbs the blood of a beast, their physique will become stronger, and their internal energy will improve."

"Beast meat is the same, and the effect is even better."

"The most precious part is the internal organs of the beast, especially the heart."

"Most beast hearts store the essence blood of the beast, which is where the essence of the beast lies."

Hearing this, Miss Yinger nodded with a smile.

"I have a say in this. When I broke through to Grandmaster, it was Lady Lady Ningguang who asked Master Bai Zhu to help me with pills refined from the essence blood of a peak Foundation Establishment beast."

"The essence blood of this peak Essence Refinement beast..."

"If it can be absorbed, it might be able to forcibly give birth to a powerhouse comparable to a Land Immortal."

Drummond waved his hand.

"Having power without the realm is just a castle in the air, a flower in the mirror."

"Martial artists also need a realm."

Miss Yinger shrugged.

"In any case, it's helpful for the stability of Shushan Village, isn't it?"

"I don't deny that."

Drummond nodded in agreement.

At this time, the martial artists had already brought over huge butchering tools.

Himeko had seen these things before, but she thought they were special buildings in Shushan Village and didn't ask much.

Jiang Xue threw out her Flying Rainbow Sword and said calmly:

"Use this sword when cutting the bones; the butchering tools cannot cut the bones of an Essence Refinement beast."

A martial artist took it respectfully and walked quickly toward the beast.

The Flying Rainbow Sword was just a martial artist's divine weapon, not a magical treasure, so it didn't necessarily have to be used by its owner.

Although Jiang Xue could exert the greatest power of the Flying Rainbow Sword only when she used it.

Himeko looked at the martial artists' actions with great interest.

It was clear that this wasn't their first time doing this.

They had even formed a quite perfect system.

Someone pushed dozens of wooden barrels nearly ten meters high under the Mang-Tooth Elephant.

Immediately, it was a process like slaughtering a pig: finding the artery and opening the belly to drain the blood.

Although a lot of blood remained on the spot after the Mang-Tooth Elephant was killed, such a huge beast had a lot of blood in its body.

It was estimated that it could fill ten wooden barrels.

"Speaking of which, there is still a lot of blood left on the battlefield. We'll go clean it up later; we can't waste it. This is an early-stage Essence Refinement beast."

Drummond reminded her, and Miss Yinger made a note of it, but today wasn't suitable.

This beast might not even be fully butchered in a single day.

Thousands of martial artists jumped up and down around the Mang-Tooth Elephant, and the strange equipment in their hands kept moving.

Once it got stuck, they immediately stopped and changed places.

Before long, the flesh on one leg was separated.

The fur was neatly collected, and the flesh was taken out in an orderly manner and placed in jade containers.

Seeing Himeko's curiosity, Miss Yinger smiled:

"There's a trick to storing beast meat. Beast meat containing spiritual power must be stored in jade containers, otherwise the spiritual power will dissipate."

Himeko nodded in shock.

"I understand the logic, but... for such a huge beast, is there that much jade?"

"No need to worry about that."

Miss Yinger smiled.

"Immortal cultivators are best at turning stones into gold. Lady Lady Ningguang left countless jade stones for Shushan Village, which is enough for us to use."

Well...

Anyway, it's reasonable to attribute any outrageous thing to immortal cultivators.

"Distribute some of the beast meat to everyone for cooking."

Jiang Xue suggested softly.

"Resources must be converted into strength as soon as possible; Shushan Village can't be considered safe."

"It can also be considered a celebration of our relying on ourselves to solve an Essence Refinement beast today."

Hearing this, the surrounding martial artists were suddenly extremely excited.

Himeko's heart stirred, and she looked at Jiang Xue with anticipation.

"Can I have a piece to taste?"

Jiang Xue couldn't help but laugh.

"Miss Himeko, don't be in a hurry; this is just the prelude, the real main event hasn't started yet."

"You contributed so much in the battle to kill the beast, so you will definitely have a share of the beast meat."

"But... the most essential heart is the trophy you deserve."

345. Using beast bones to make Valkyrie armor?

Hearing Jiang Xue's promise, Himeko smiled brightly.

"Thank you."

"No need for that. If it weren't for Miss Himeko's help, we wouldn't have been able to solve the beast so easily, and we might have had to pay a heavy price."

Jiang Xue shook her head and looked at the place where the beast meat was being butchered not far away.

The size of the Mang-Tooth Elephant was among the best among early-stage Essence Refinement beasts.

Naturally, there would be more meat to distribute from this guy, which was also a good thing.

The meat on one leg was enough for everyone in Shushan Village to have a bite.

Looking at the leg bone that was revealed, white as jade, Himeko was a bit curious.

As Drummond said, the Wolf's Gravestone that was used so handily was the bone of a mid-stage Foundation Establishment beast.

Then if it were an early-stage Essence Refinement beast...

Jiang Xue, noticing Himeko's expression, chuckled.
