"You... you're trying to take its Beast Core, aren't you?" Lin Xi'er pointed at the Spirit Ape's head.
"Beast Core?"
Having only recently arrived in this world, Zhang Xuan naturally had no idea what a Beast Core was.
Though puzzled, Lin Xi'er explained it to Zhang Xuan.
It turned out that extracting a Beast Core required no dagger. One needed to use qi condensation to draw the Beast Core out from a Spirit Beast's head.
At first, Lin Xi'er had thought Zhang Xuan wanted a dagger to carve up the Spirit Ape's hide and meat.
After hearing her explanation, Zhang Xuan gave an awkward laugh, then began trying to draw out the Beast Core as Lin Xi'er had described.
However, no matter how many times he tried, nothing happened.
Little did he know, this body of his had inferior aptitude. He could not even condense qi, and without a place to stabilize it, how could he circulate qi?
Without the system's assistance, he would not even have been able to cultivate.
Seeing that Zhang Xuan had failed to draw it out with qi, Lin Xi'er grew even more confused.
Awkward as hell, Zhang Xuan gave up after several failed attempts. He stood and looked at Lin Xi'er. "Ahem, well... I'll need you to do it. Let me watch."
Lin Xi'er did not hesitate. She immediately walked over to the Spirit Ape's corpse, sat cross-legged, and condensed her qi.
A moment later, a miniature phantom of the Spirit Ape was drawn out from the corpse's head.
Lin Xi'er opened her eyes, waved her hand, and placed it in her palm before offering it to Zhang Xuan.
Zhang Xuan took the Spirit Ape's Beast Core and examined it, then handed it back to Lin Xi'er.
"You're not going to absorb it?"
