Chapter 8: Divine Grade and Spirit Infusion

First sense spiritual Qi, then swallow spirit and refine Qi, transform oneself! Su Yuanshan repeated the same actions over and over again.

Suddenly, he was startled by a deafening roar, the roar lingering and shaking the mountain forest.

Two demon clouds in the sky were rolling, seemingly in a life-and-death struggle. Black mist permeated the mountain forest, and the thick demon Qi was like substance, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Demon winds raged, flying sand and stones, almost overturning the roof of the Chenghuang Temple.

Fortunately, the demon clouds gradually moved away, and the demon wind gradually weakened. Only then did Su Yuanshan discover that without realizing it, it was already late.

But this little fox Bai Wugou hadn't returned yet. In the past, it should have returned by this time. Could it have encountered danger?

As he pondered, Su Yuanshan communicated with the surrounding grass and tree spirits with his spiritual intent to find Bai Wugou's tracks. After nearly a stick of incense, he finally sensed a familiar white shadow sweeping through the mountain forest, running towards the Chenghuang Temple.

Sure enough, not long after, he heard an anxious call from outside the temple door.

"Mansion Lord... Mansion Lord!"

It was the little white fox Bai Wugou. It seemed very nervous. At this moment, it was holding a round thing in its mouth, and this thing was still dripping blood.

Su Yuanshan could even vaguely smell a fishy fragrance coming from it.

His heart was startled.

"This is......... an inner core?"

Such a large inner core, could it be.....

Thinking of the two great demons who had been fighting endlessly-----the old Demon King White Ape and that challenger!

His heart skipped a beat. In a trance, he saw a white-clothed youth coming gracefully, cupping his hands and smiling at him.

"Mansion Lord, all is well. Today, my time is up, but I don't want to take advantage of others. I specially send a chance for the Mansion Lord! This thing is my inner core cultivated for nearly a thousand years. Today I give it to the Mansion Lord. In the future, I will reincarnate and re-cultivate. I hope the Mansion Lord will take care of me. I, Bai, bow......."

The voice drifted away, and the figure gradually dissipated.

The figure gradually overlapped with the round thing in the white fox's mouth.

And Bai Wugou was staring at him with its innocent eyes, looking into the hall.

"Enter the hall, close the door!"

Su Yuanshan solemnly beckoned Bai Wugou into the hall. This was the first time!

The inner core gifted by the White Ape Demon King was indeed a great opportunity for him. The nearly thousand years of cultivation contained within it was no small matter. With the help of this inner core, Su Yuanshan believed that it wouldn't be long before he could completely refine the clay body into a flesh-and-blood body. This shortened his hundreds of years of hard cultivation, which could be called a great favor.

But at the same time, it also brought him a huge crisis.

Unless the new Demon King who successfully took the position was a fool, it was absolutely impossible to give up this Demon King's inner core. Once absorbed and refined, it was enough to increase nearly a thousand years of cultivation. How could it give it up?

I estimate it will use all means and mobilize all forces to search for the old Demon King's inner core.

Once it is found that this inner core was swallowed by him, it is not difficult to judge how the new Demon King will react!

So while Su Yuanshan was happy, he also felt great pressure!

Of course, wanting him to offer it with both hands would be harder than ascending to heaven. How could he spit out something he had already swallowed? Where would he put his face as a City God? If it spread out, people would think he was afraid of those demons!

As he pondered, he saw Bai Wugou enter and place the Demon King's inner core on his altar table, then retreat outside the door and gently close the door with its mouth.

Su Yuanshan nodded secretly, thinking, this little white fox is quite sensible.

He saw him beckon with his hand, and suddenly an underworld wind lifted the inner core and placed it steadily in his hand.

Su Yuanshan sealed with his five fingers and chanted a spell. Suddenly, a group of spirit fire erupted from his palm and began to refine the demon core.

After a crackling sound, the inner core began to melt slowly, and was absorbed bit by bit by his clay body. The pill liquid spread bit by bit throughout his body with the spirit fire, gradually turning into slivers of tendons and flesh, while the clay body was refined by the spirit fire, slowly removing the dross and keeping the essence, gradually forming bones, the hardness of which was comparable to steel, but the refined pill liquid and flesh threads attached bit by bit to the bones.

First the limbs and bones, then the head and torso, then the internal organs.......

He didn't know how much time had passed, but he saw the City God statue begin to crack bit by bit, revealing golden light. Finally, with a 'pop', the surface of the statue shattered directly.

In the splashing fragments, a golden figure seemed to walk down from the divine seat. Every step it took, it became clearer, and the golden light disappeared by a point. The clay statue surface fragments peeled off from his body bit by bit, revealing fair skin. Finally, the fragments 'poofed' and turned into specks of sand, scattering everywhere.

In a floating clear wind, a pair of jade feet gradually appeared. When the jade feet landed steadily on the ground, a handsome youth appeared. And those scattered sand and dust gradually turned into clothes and covered the youth.

The youth's eyebrows were like paintings, with a cinnabar dot between his eyebrows, and his entire body exuded a transcendent immortal aura, not angry but majestic.

This scene directly stunned Bai Wugou. Although it didn't quite understand what had happened, it vaguely realized that the City God in front of it seemed different from before. Just in terms of temperament, it was completely different, simply one in the sky and one on the ground.

"Man.... Lord.... are you..... Weiling..... Mansion Lord?" At that moment, it tilted its little head and actually didn't dare to recognize him.

After all, the City God it saw before was just a clay statue, but the one appearing in front of it today was a handsome youth, with divine majesty and charm in every gesture.

And Su Yuanshan was also very surprised. He didn't expect that the energy possessed by this demon core exceeded his imagination. It only took a few hours to help him completely refine the entire clay body.

At this moment, his entire body was no different from a real person, and he even possessed a special constitution that ordinary people didn't have, such as an almost endless lifespan and a function that was almost immune to all poisons, simply like opening a cheat.

According to the description of divine cultivation in the ancient book "Youminglu", Su Yuanshan realized that he seemed to have crossed the four realms of 【Observing Spirit】, 【Fixing Soul】, 【Refining Body】, and 【Opening Pulse】 without realizing it, and stepped into the initial stage of 【Spirit Infusion】!

And the "Youminglu" clearly wrote, 'For deities, cultivation for ten years can enter the Observing Spirit realm, a hundred years can enter the Fixing Soul realm, five hundred years can enter the Refining Body realm, eight hundred years can reach the Opening Pulse realm, and only after a thousand years of cultivation can one enter the Spirit Infusion realm. And for deities with slightly worse aptitude, it goes without saying, deities who have entered the Spirit Infusion realm after thousands or even tens of thousands of years are everywhere. But Su Yuanshan only reached the Spirit Infusion realm after a few months, which is what talented deities reach after a thousand years of cultivation, which shocked him and made him secretly call it lucky.

He didn't find his aptitude to be particularly extraordinary. On the contrary, in his previous life, he was not even as good as ordinary colleagues and was often pointed at by his boss and scolded as an idiot.

Although he transmigrated, he didn't feel that his aptitude had undergone any gratifying changes, so he felt that the biggest possibility was the effect of 'doubled comprehension' obtained after his "Purple Mansion Immortal Scripture" leveled up. Of course, perhaps it also had something to do with his refining and absorbing that Demon King's demon core. ===== CHAPTER 9 =====
