Making the Best Use of Everything
Not long after Xiao Yan took the mummified corpse out, Zi Yan cautiously approached and touched it.
"Hey, Dragon Emperor, you've come at the right time. Let me make you some boxing gloves."
"I told you not to call me Dragon Emperor!" Zi Yan bared her teeth and claws again, but didn't pounce on Xiao Yan to disturb his actions.
Xiao Yan grabbed with both hands and tore off the fluorescent wings from the dried corpse.
These Jade Bone Wings possess not only violent wind-attribute energy but also an extremely scorching aura. Clearly, this Heavenly Demon Phoenix was a Magical Beast with Wind-Fire Dual Attribute in its previous life.
After folding his wings, Xiao Yan pointed his fingers like a sword and with a swift motion, severed the ten pale claws and fangs of the Magical Beast's dried corpse.
Xiao Yan channeled a burst of Dou Qi into the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame in his chest, summoning Dragon Shape flame to swallow the ten claws and fangs.
A faint Dragon Might emanated from the flames, instantly suppressing the Heavenly Demon Phoenix's resistance.
As the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame burned, the pale claws and teeth gradually shrank at a slow pace, and even the pale color dissipated, replaced by a bluish-red color, which is the color of wind attribute energy and fire attribute energy.
However, the blue and red color gradually changed under the tempering of the Purple-gold Flame, becoming more in line with the aesthetics of the Ancient Void Dragon and more compatible with its power.
As the Heavenly Flames continued to temper it, the claws and sharp horns gradually emitted a chilling aura that made Xiao Yan tremble.
Once the tempering was complete, the ten slightly small but perfectly proportioned bone tips, which were just the right size for Zi Yan, were fully formed, and their color was completely transformed into a purplish-gold.
Zi Yan, who had been holding back for a long time, picked up the ten Purple-gold Bone Tips and examined them several times before giving Xiao Yan a smug grin and then sitting obediently to the side.
It's obvious that Zi Yan wanted to "enjoy" the process of Xiao Yan dealing with the Heavenly Demon Phoenix, who was her natural enemy.
Xiao Yan didn't care and used his Dou Qi to dismember the dried corpse into eight pieces. A sour smell, seemingly from the decaying body, wafted out from the fragments, which Xiao Yan then dispelled with a burst of fire.
After removing the harmful components, Xiao Yan carefully peeled off the head and skin of the mummified corpse and set them aside. Then he used the Sea Lotus Heart Flame to completely wrap the pale flesh.
After refining for a full half hour, and having refined all the meat chunks, Xiao Yan only managed to obtain five drops of bluish-red Essence Blood.
The energy contained in this Essence Blood is extremely violent, and it also faintly contains a terrifying will. If one were to consume it directly, one would probably explode and die.
However, Xiao Yan did not intend to consume it. After reserving a drop of Essence Blood, he used the Fallen Heart Flame to completely erase the remaining will in the other Essence Blood, then injected a drop of his own Essence Blood into each of them, and then fed them to the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame.
Looking at the White Lotus blooming on Xiao Yan's chest, inside which was a purple-gold Dragon Shape flame dripping with Essence Blood, Zi Yan couldn't help but drool.
However, when she noticed that Xiao Yan was looking at her with a smile, Zi Yan quickly swallowed her saliva and turned her head away.
Xiao Yan quickly finished feeding the four drops of Essence Blood. Next, it was time to deal with the animal hide and head.
Xiao Yan thought for a moment, then flicked his finger, separating the Nine-Colored Flame, which swallowed the animal hide and head.
Without the addition of Essence Blood, burning the Magical Core directly with flames will cause its energy to evaporate instead of coalescing.
However, the Nine-Colored Flame is the Beast Flame of the Nine-Colored Sky Swallowing Python. The energy released from it is not wasted at all. On the contrary, because it has not gathered into Magical Core, it is easier for the Nine-Colored Flame to devour it.
Zi Yan blinked and quickly understood Xiao Yan's intention. She immediately looked at the drop of Essence Blood that Xiao Yan had left behind.
After hesitating for a while, Zi Yan ultimately did not ask for them. Instead, she took the ten claws out again and examined them carefully.
Having this as a gauntlet is enough. The Essence Blood is clearly useful to Xiao Yan, so we can't be greedy—that's what Zi Yan was thinking at the moment.
Xiao Yan quietly roasted the animal hide, the Nine-Colored Flame continuously devouring the energy escaping from it, causing the originally huge withered skin of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix to shrink together like several withered leaves.
Only after the entire animal hide was twisted together and most of its energy had been devoured by the Nine-Colored Flame did Xiao Yan flick his finger, throwing the drop of blue-red essence Essence Blood into the flames.
As the Essence Blood came into contact with the dried animal hide, its original pale color was instantly stained blue-red. Then, this seemingly ordinary animal hide suddenly erupted with a terrifying fluctuation.
Even the Heavenly Flame Venerable, who was piloting the spaceship, was drawn to this fluctuation. The energy contained within was indeed not much, but its quality... was even better than his peak.
Zi Yan's attention was also diverted by the fluctuations, and she asked with some confusion, "Xiao Yan, since you want to condense Magical Core, why did you use flames to absorb its power beforehand? Won't that lower the quality of the Magical Core?"
"Because you are now Dou Emperor, you can't digest the pills made from the Eighth Grade Heavenly Demon Phoenix's Magical Core!"
"..." Zi Yan's eyes widened, almost doubting that she had misheard.
"Xiao Yan!" Zi Yan lunged forward and buried her head in Xiao Yan's chest.
"Girls should be raised in a comfortable environment!"
Noticing a dampness on his chest, Xiao Yan sighed, then picked up Zi Yan, carried her on his back, and supported Zi Yan chin with his shoulder.
The girl is crying so hard, it wouldn't be good if she wiped her snot on her clothes.
After settling Zi Yan in, Xiao Yan used his powerful Soul Power to envelop the room, completely isolating it from any fluctuations.
The Nine-Colored Flame burned again, and under Xiao Yan's control, the temperature was raised to the limit. The blue-red Magical Beast's skin was also permeated with wisps of blue-red mist containing immense energy.
Unlike before, the energy in this mist is extremely condensed, making it difficult for the Nine-Colored Flame to devour it.
More and more blue and red energy mist emanated from the withered hide of the Magical Beast, but it was tightly enveloped by the Nine-Colored Flame, and could only begin to compress and condense inside the flames.
It took more than half an hour of tempering before the withered skin was completely reduced to ashes, and the blue and red mist that drifted out gathered into clouds in the Nine-Colored Flame.
The moment the cloud takes shape, a small vortex appears at its center, swallowing the blue and red clouds completely.
Xiao Yan knew that once the vortex swallowed all the clouds, the Magical Core would take shape, and it would be much more difficult to refine it then.
So Xiao Yan took out several Source Liquid Fruits from his Storage Ring and put them into it. Source Liquid Fruit were quite peculiar, as they could perfectly contain most of the energy and dilute it into medicinal liquid.
At this moment, the vortex was disrupted by the sudden arrival of the Source Liquid Fruit. The blue and red clouds began to pour into the Source Liquid Fruit and instantly burst it, turning it into liquid clumps the size of human heads.
Streams of clouds continuously merged into the liquid mass, and then converged together to form a large mass of bluish-red liquid.
Seeing this, Xiao Yan took out the Gan Mashu and threw it into the flames, refining it into powder and mixing it into the blue-red liquid.
With the addition of these powders, the liquid gradually became viscous and slowly began to solidify.
With a flick of Xiao Yan's flames, the liquid mass was divided into hundreds of parts, which were then transformed into tiny Heavenly Demon Phoenix "biscuits" under Xiao Yan's shaping.
