He had two Green Demon Cores, and this item happened to be highly prized by the Demon Race.
So there was a very good chance he could trade them through the Suanni Demon Mansion for what he urgently needed: either Demon Core Stones or a second-turn Demon Core.
The latter might be wishful thinking, but the former should be easy enough to obtain.
After giving Little Red Carp a Demon Core Stone, Xu Yi still had one or two left in reserve.
But for Xu Yi, that number of Demon Core Stones was obviously nowhere near enough.
That was right—he wanted the Demon Core Stones to break through the petrification.
Ordinarily, when a demon was on the verge of transforming, a single Transformation Stone was enough.
But after days of poring over books, Xu Yi had discovered something unusual in this most ordinary matter.
The reason demons took only one Demon Core Stone was that by the time their cultivation reached the point where they needed one, their entire bodies had already been petrified. After taking the stone, they would fall into a drowsy state.
Since demons had no souls, at this critical juncture they could only rely on the Demon Core Stone to unlock their petrified meridians.
Using the power stored within the Demon Core Stone, they would gradually unlock the three major checkpoints, then rely on those checkpoints opening to slowly unlock all their fused meridians.
This process was both complex and lengthy, filled with chance and enormous uncertainty.
But Xu Yi was different. He was human. As he took the Demon Core Stone and unlocked his petrified meridians, his powerful soul meant he would never lose his mind.
That meant he could control the process of unlocking his petrified meridians with the Demon Core Stone.
