Chapter 87: The Infinite Might of the Ghost Toad Pearl, Sunflower Water Treasure Elixir and Kui Ox Drum
After a moment, the Male Dragon Blood Fierce Dog's eyes showed some confusion. It looked down at the delicious Ghost Frog meat scraps stuck with grass seeds on the ground. It clearly remembered the previous nightmarish episode of dashing back and forth; it had suffered such terrible diarrhea that even the Female Dragon Blood Fierce Dog had ignored it!
Lin Xuankong's eyes, however, revealed joy. Sure enough, after his Poison Resistance mutated to the First Grade of the Immortal Tier, his Qi Blood underwent some qualitative changes. Although it wasn't in terms of Martial Dao power, when infused into others or Exotic Beasts, it could allow them to dissipate the poison within their bodies! My Half-Immortal Body is simply too strong!
"I told you, the grass seeds this time are just for seasoning; the toxicity is very low!" Lin Xuankong said. "A Late-Stage Tier Two Dragon Blood Fierce Dog can completely resist it after eating some. Look, it's perfectly fine. How could I harm my wife's dog?"
Gaining such a physique so suddenly is truly too shocking, Lin Xuankong thought. I can't explain it to Yu Fei right away... I'll find a chance to tell her later.
"Really? Then what were you doing circulating your Qi Blood just now?" Zhao Yufei asked suspiciously.
Lin Xuankong decisively looked towards the Ghost Frog Community. "They've already processed the spoils. Darling, why don't you go and count them?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yufei's expression changed. She immediately stood up and quickly walked toward the Ghost Frog Community. As the wife managing Lin Xuankong's household affairs, she was very dedicated!
At this moment, the Female Dragon Blood Fierce Dog, seeing the male one licking a few more meat scraps without any issues, decisively crawled over. It barked a few times, scolding the Male Dragon Blood Fierce Dog, which had its tail tucked, and driving it to one side. Then, it cheerfully began eating the fragrant meat scraps.
Moments later, "AWOOOOO!"
The Female Dragon Blood Fierce Dog's stomach gurgled, and it rushed straight into the nearby forest.
The Male Dragon Blood Fierce Dog tucked its tail, its eyes darting between Lin Xuankong, the forest, and the meat scraps, its canine face a picture of utter confusion.
「The next day, in the morning,」
Today, because he needed to refine the last part of the stubborn Demon Qi from the Ghost Frog Demon Pearl, Lin Xuankong decided to rest and not take anyone out to hunt Demons.
On the second floor of the wooden building, Lin Xuankong activated his Nine-Scaly Armor. A large amount of Qi Blood continuously transformed into a white aura, wrapping around the Ghost Frog Demon Pearl. The Ghost Frog Demon Pearl trembled slightly, strands of Demon Qi from within it quickly fusing with the white Qi Blood and disappearing.
Zhao Yufei, on the wooden bed beside him, lazily got up. After watching for a while, she began her cultivation of the Eight Gates Celestial Eye and Yin Talisman Technique.
The sun moved from the eastern side of the wooden building until it was directly overhead.
The two Dragon Blood Fierce Dogs at the entrance of the wooden building shifted their position, sprawling in the shadow on the northern side of the building.
In the distance, dozens of Martial Cultivators in Cold Fragrance Valley were each using salt to process the hundreds of pounds of Tier One Ghost Frog Flesh they had been allocated in recent days. Although this Demon Flesh didn't spoil easily, it could be preserved for much longer, even for several years, by rubbing it with salt and then hanging it in a cool place to air-dry. After all, they were not Lin Xuankong and didn't have Ghost Frog Pouches to store the Ghost Frog Flesh. This method, however, allowed them to preserve their entire harvest from the Demon-Suppressing Valley.
Even though in Cold Fragrance Valley this Ghost Frog Flesh seemed to be everywhere, hanging on tree branches, every Martial Cultivator knew that once they could leave the valley alive, even Tier One Ghost Frog Flesh could be sold for an extremely high price in Great Marsh Prefecture. After all, Tier One Ghost Frog Flesh was several times more expensive than Tier One Marsh Python Flesh!
Every busy Martial Cultivator's face was filled with eagerness and anticipation. When they occasionally looked at the wooden building, most of them showed gratitude and awe in their eyes. They knew that all of this was brought by the old husband and young wife in the wooden building. Without them, not only would they not have made such great profits, their corpses might have long since dried out!
As the sun set behind the western hills, the dozens of Martial Cultivators returned to their own wooden huts, closing their eyes and resting with great relaxation. With Zhao Yufei's two Dragon Blood Fierce Dogs standing guard at the valley entrance, they fell asleep quickly and peacefully. They even had the illusion that this wasn't the extremely dangerous Demon-Suppressing Valley, but rather their own homes.
「At the valley entrance,」
The two Dragon Blood Fierce Dogs were each crouching on one side, glaring at their surroundings. These two dogs had grown very quickly recently. After all, Exotic Beasts were different from ordinary Martial Cultivators; as long as they had enough resources, they could rapidly increase their Grade. In the past seven or eight days, except for the two days they had diarrhea, the two Dragon Blood Fierce Dogs ate dozens of pounds of Marsh Python Flesh brimming with Demon Essence every day. Now, they had grown even more robust, their fur glossier, and they were about to reach Tier Two Perfection, soon to break through to Tier Three!
「On the second floor of the wooden building,」
Lin Xuankong, who had been refining the Demon Pearl for seven or eight hours, gradually showed a hint of excitement in his eyes.
"You can stop now," Zhao Yufei's somewhat excited voice rang out. "The Demon Pearl can't have all its Demon Qi removed; a trace must be left as a catalyst!" This newlywed, cold and elegant beauty, her charming face now alight with a lively expression, seemed even more thrilled than Lin Xuankong.
Lin Xuankong nodded, decisively stopped circulating his Qi Blood, and put away the Nine-Scaly Armor. Then he picked up the Demon Pearl and examined it carefully.
Under the oil lamp, this Demon Pearl, originally filled with ghastly white ghost patterns, having lost most of its Demon Qi, had become incredibly crystal clear. It looked like a Glazed Treasure Pearl, shimmering with a brilliant light. At the very center of the pearl, a faint wisp of Demon Qi swirled into the form of an extremely tiny Ghost Toad, constantly drifting within the pearl. It looked as if a Ghost Frog King, the size of a green bean, was rotating inside!
