"Fellow Daoist Luo, did you extract the beast core from that centipede?
The powerful demonic beasts in Ji Lin Kong Jing all condense beast cores within their bodies. If they are not removed, they can slowly heal no matter how grievous their injuries."
At this moment, Zhu Yan, who had already slain the Three-Eyed Giant Toad, leaped over with a dragon eye-sized green crystal in his hand.
"Oh? These demonic beasts truly are tenacious."
Looking at the beast core in Zhu Yan's hand, Luo Hong's heart stirred as he thought of something else.
After saying that, he leaped over to the Black Armored Centipede, which lay limp on the ground. Sweeping it with his spiritual sense, he suddenly swung his spear, cleanly cutting its body into two.
Then, Luo Hong flicked his spear at the severed end, and a black crystal flew into his hand.
After examining it twice, Luo Hong casually tossed it into his mouth and swallowed it.
Immediately afterward, Luo Hong activated the Nine Revolutions Azure Dragon Skill and began refining the beast core in his stomach.
To his surprise, only a moment later, Luo Hong lit up a new profound aperture!
Even though Luo Hong was already at the threshold of a breakthrough, this was far too easy.
Zi Ling did not feel much upon seeing this, but Zhu Yan, beside her, nearly stared his eyes out. Disregarding all propriety, he directly asked:
"Fellow Daoist Luo, this is..."
"It's nothing. I merely sensed an extremely potent Flesh and Blood Aura within the beast core, so I tried consuming and refining it. I didn't expect the effect to be so good."
Luo Hong explained with a smile.
"So that's how it is."
Zhu Yan nodded upon hearing this, but he did not truly believe Luo Hong's explanation.
