Urban Extraordinary Immortal Doctor-Chapter 1005: This is the Spirit Core!
Chapter 1005: Chapter 1005: This is the Spirit Core!
The furs of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape, the scales of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros, as well as the Golden Horns, were all costly treasures that could be exchanged for a great amount of cultivation resources.
Of course, the most precious thing on the bodies of middle-tier spirit beasts was the Spirit Core they had formed inside them.
With Fang Bai’s strength, he could have taken both middle-tier spirit beasts for himself, and Huang Miao and the rest wouldn’t dare utter a word of dissent.
But Fang Bai was generous by nature, not the selfish type, and he didn’t have the intention to monopolize the corpses of the two spirit beasts. Instead, he planned to wait until Huang Miao and the others had rested and recovered before discussing together how to distribute the spoils.
Moreover, Fang Bai faintly sensed that between the eighteen Ice Peaks ahead, Essence Energy was constantly emanating outward, and the air carried a faint scent of medicinal herbs.
Based on this, Fang Bai guessed that within those ice peaks, there must be long-aged Spiritual Medicine growing, and it was very likely that they were mid-grade Spiritual Medicine.
It seemed that the Gigantopithecus Thunderape and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros had burst out from between the ice peaks. Perhaps they had built their nests there specifically to guard the mid-grade Spiritual Medicine.
Fang Bai walked a circle around the corpses of the two middle-tier spirit beasts, then his gaze settled on the Golden Horn.
"I’ll take this Golden Horn; I’ll refine it into a rod-shaped Spiritual Artifact later to give to Liu Liehu."
Muttering to himself, Fang Bai’s left hand, adorned with a Spatial Ring, flashed slightly. Then, with a flash of crimson light, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade, which had lain dormant in the Spatial Ring for some time, appeared in his right hand.
Swoosh!
In a swift motion of blade light, the Golden Horn on top of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros’s head was neatly severed, falling into Fang Bai’s hand.
For ordinary martial artists or common weapons, the Golden Horn was hard, sharp, and indestructible.
However, the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade in Fang Bai’s hand was a genuine Supreme Spirit Weapon and no matter how tough the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros’ Golden Horn was, it couldn’t escape being sliced through by the Blood-Drinking Mad Blade.
Fang Bai casually tossed the severed Golden Horn onto the ground, waving his right arm continuously. The Blood-Drinking Mad Blade turned into a series of blood-red illusions, raising waves of blood mist, the scent of blood permeating all around and staining the ground within tens of meters crimson red.
When the blood mist had dissipated, the two huge middle-tier spirit beasts had been dismembered into pieces.
Two fist-sized spherical Spirit Cores rolled out from the bodies of the two spirit beasts, which Fang Bai picked up and held in his palm.
The two Spirit Cores were as transparent as crystal, with a layer of faint halo emitting from their surfaces that looked dazzling and seductive.
The Spirit Core of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape was purple, and upon closer observation, one could see a clump of crisscrossing, thread-like electric sparks inside the Core, faintly feeling the immense destructive power contained within those sparks.
The Spirit Core of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros was golden, and other than the color, whether in shape or size, it was almost identical to that of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape’s, also containing a strong power within.
Holding the two middle-tier spirit beasts’ Spirit Cores in hand, Fang Bai felt the wisps of Essence Energy being released from within them, and his lips carried a faint smile.
Fang Bai planned to keep the Spirit Core of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros for himself and share that of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape with Huang Miao and the other four.
Furthermore, Fang Bai also intended to give the fur of the Gigantopithecus Thunderape to Huang Miao and the others, while keeping the enhancing Golden Horn of the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros for himself.
The flesh and bones of the two spirit beasts were rare treasures, but their blood was not easy to store, and most of it had already been lost, seeping into the ground. Therefore, Fang Bai threw their meat and bones into the Spatial Ring.
In a brief moment, the two massive corpses of the spirit beasts had vanished from their original spot, all collected by Fang Bai into his Spatial Ring, leaving only the crimson bloodstains on the ground.
After Fang Bai finished dealing with the corpses of the two spirit beasts, Huang Miao and the rest had also finished their recuperation and got up to walk toward him.
"Where are those two spirit beasts? Why aren’t they here?"
Liu Liehu was the first to run up to Fang Bai, looking left and right, the Gigantopithecus Thunderape and the Golden Scaled Rhinoceros were nowhere to be seen, which baffled him greatly.
"Looking at the bloodstains on the ground, those two Spirit Beasts must have been seriously injured, could they have left separately?"
Huang Miao surveyed the scene and said with a relaxed face.
When the two fierce mid-tier Spirit Beasts had appeared before, Huang Miao thought that the members of their team were doomed, nerves tightly wound, hearts filled with tension and fear. Yet surprisingly, the Spirit Beasts were gone, which meant they had escaped disaster.
Surviving an encounter with mid-tier Spirit Beasts was a miracle in itself.
"Hopefully, they’ve already left!"
Hou Ziping clasped his hands together as if in prayer.
"Brother Fang, what is that in your hand?"
Liu Qingqing, focusing on the two Spirit Cores in Fang Bai’s palm, asked with wide-open beautiful eyes.
From those two Spirit Cores, Liu Qingqing sensed two different and powerful types of True Yuan.
Women are lovers of beauty, and those Spirit Cores, being crystal clear and brightly colored, were extremely attractive, especially to a young girl like Liu Qingqing.
Upon hearing Liu Qingqing’s question, Huang Miao and the others also had their gazes drawn towards Fang Bai, and were similarly captivated by the two Spirit Cores in his hand.
"Could they be Essence Stones?"
Liu Liehu, who came from a small mountain village and wasn’t worldly-wise, thought Fang Bai was holding Essence Stones, but upon closer inspection, they seemed a bit different from Essence Stones.
Hou Ziping shook his head and said, "Essence Stones are just jade that has absorbed and stored Heaven and Earth Origin Energy, but what Junior Brother Fang is holding doesn’t seem to be jade... Wait, could that be... the Spirit Core of a Spirit Beast?" ƒreewebɳovel.com
When he said the words "Spirit Core," Hou Ziping’s expression turned excited, his voice involuntarily trembling, and his eyes shone like stars in the night sky.
"Yes, it’s a Spirit Core! It is indeed a Spirit Core!"
Huang Miao murmured, his eyes reddening and the tip of his nose tingling with the sensation of emotions nearly spiraling out of control.
There were two main purposes for their mountain expedition.
The first was to improve their strength through real combat with Spirit Beasts or fellow disciples.
The second was to seek Cultivation Resources and various serendipitous opportunities.
For Cultivation Teams venturing into the mountains, the most feared encounter was with mid-tier Spirit Beasts, yet, paradoxically, their most desired prize was the Spirit Core of mid-tier Spirit Beasts.
The five members of Huang Miao’s team could say the first objective had been fully achieved, with each of them experiencing an increase in strength.
As for the second objective, they had also achieved a part of it, and if they could secure a Spirit Core from a mid-tier Spirit Beast, then their expedition would indeed be a resounding success.
Recalling the pitiful howls of the two Spirit Beasts during the fierce battle and looking at the ground that was stained with blood, Huang Miao’s heart pounded wildly. Looking into Fang Bai’s palm, holding the two Spirit Cores, his gaze filled with intense anticipation.
"Indeed, these are Spirit Cores!"
Fang Bai looked at the four with a smile and said, "These two Spirit Cores were taken from the two mid-tier Spirit Beasts we just fought."
Fang Bai’s statement was so shocking to the four that they stood still, taking a while to recover.
