After raising the rank of his spirit roots, Yun Chen decided to take a little break in order to calm his mind. But suddenly, he remembered something very important. He obtained some dragon-type beast blood essence at the auction so that he can feed it to the egg. Yun Chen took out the bottles of blood essence. But the moment he removed their lids, the egg inside him flew out without notice and began absorbing it slowly. The egg's color was changing from a wittered gray to a transparent green.
«It seems that I was right! The dragon-type beast blood essence is very beneficial to you. Now, it is Xiaobai's turn. » Yun Chen declared happily.
Since the egg was busy absorbing blood essence, it was time to rise the fire lizard rank.
«Since Xiaobai belong to the lizard species, it must have some affinity with the dragons. So, to make his Revolving star pill, I will add some dragon-type beast blood essence of fire and wind element since he is digesting a wind element type beast blood essence. » said Yun Chen before taking out the star-raising spirit herb, a bottle of dragon-type beast blood essence of the fire element, a bottle of dragon-type beast blood essence of the wind element and five other rare spirit herbs that he bought at the auction house.
«Now that I have a fire spirit root, it will be very easy to make some basic rank two pills! » declared Yun Chen before beginning.
First, Yun Chen took the five rare spirit herbs and melted them slowly using the fire born within his spirit root in order to extract their essence. Under soul power manipulation, he was able to extract their essence separately and mix them afterward without losing their balance. He cautiously refined the mixture for more than an hour and obtained a viscous paste. Then, he took the star-rising herb, melted it using the previous process and extracted its essence. After obtaining the essence, Yun Chen took the two different dragon-type beast blood essence and slowly mixed them to the viscous paste and the star-raising herd essence. After three hours of refining, the pill began to take form and one hour later, Yun Chen finally condensed the pill. It was a perfect quality rank two pill.
«Now, with the help of this pill, it will be easier for Xiaobai to digest the blood essence he had absorbed. » Yun Chen declared happily.
Yun Chen released the fire lizard from his space and woke it up. An extreme tiredness was readable on its face. That means he was struggling to refine the blood essence. Yun Chen made it swallow the star revolving pill before it fell asleep again. Some time after that, some energies began to be released from its body and some things like silk threads began to wrap its body and formed a cocoon. Seeing that, Yun Chen wasn't worried at all, but instead, he was very happy. He encountered a similar situation in his previous life. One of his comrades in the assassin organization possessed a two-star ghost cat as his companion beast. But that beast accidentally ate a shadow flower when they were training in the forest and the same phenomenon as now appeared. After three days, the cocoon shattered, and the ghost cat had evolved into a higher species which is the shadow tiger. Even its rank rose to three-star.
«I'm wondering in what Xiaobai will evolve! » Yun Ched asked to himself.
Yun Chen returned the cocoon in his companion beast space. At that moment, the egg also finished absorbing the sixteen bottles of blood essence. The egg has now a crystal green color, but it didn't any sign of hatching. Yun Chen was very troubled and took it back in his companion beast space.
«…aiya! How long will it take for the egg to hatch! But since I can use fire now, I will refine the demon cores I have into soul essence for it to absorb. Maybe that is why it didn't hatch yet. » deduced Yun Chen.
Normally, when a child began to cultivate, they will feed their egg with the soul essence refined by alchemist using demon core or the ones sold on the market. So, Yun Chen decided to refine the demon cores he posses into soul essence for his egg.
«Let' Refine enough soul essence for it to last a few days. » said Yun Chen.
To refine soul essence, one must use fire to burn away the diluted devil qi inside the demon core and extract its essence; that is what is called soul essence. Yun Chen took a day to refine one hundred bottles of soul essence using one hundred and ten demon cores. He sent al the bottles in the egg space for it to began digesting the soul essence.
Now, it is time for Yun Chen to begin the next step.
«It is time to make the demon qi dantian. » said Yun Chen with a little hesitation.
Manipulating devil qi is not an easy feat for humans, even for Yun Chen. So, he will have to be careful. According to his cultivation art, the materials needed to make the demon qi dantian are a monster core, devil ape blood essence and the original dantian shards. The devil ape blood essence must be used because it contains the greatest devil bloodline within the demon beasts known to humans and is the only demon beast possessing a devil root. It is second only to the devil race. But here, Yun Chen has the corpse of a devil race member. So, it is even better now.
«First, let's extract its blood essence! » said Yun Chen before beginning. Using soul power, he extracted three drop of blood essence from the bloody red devil corpse. He then surrounded the drops with fire in order to avoid the devil blood essence to corrupt him. He integrated them in his body and fused them with the original dantian shards that were left. After that, he took out the demon core of that two-headed black scale drake. He used his fire to burn away only the diluted devil qi inside. He then brought the demon core inside his body, crushed it into powder added it to the previous mixture that was still surrounded by fire. Slowly, the demon qi dantian began to form with a crystal red color. After the dantian was solidified, Yun Chen released the fire that was surrounding it.
«Done! Now, the critical part is building the appropriate meridian path from the dantian. The wrong path can hinder my cultivation. But I Know the perfect path. » said Yun Chen confidently.
In his past life, it was said that between the five strongest devils that have the rank of Demon lord, Verpalis was the only one that have the devil god constitution and could evolve into the rank of demon emperor or even become a demon god rank devil like the devil god in ancient times.
To win against him, Yun Chen analysed his constitution using the eye of truth and targeted its weak point in order to defeat him.
«I will use the devil god constitution and strengthen its weak points to obtain the perfect devil god constitution. » said Yun Chen confidently.
In the devil race, the weakest the constitution is, the likely they lose their mind and become slaughtering slave for the superior rank devils.
« With this constitution, I won't lose my mind to the devil qi. » concluded Yun Chen.
After recalling the meridian path, Yun Chen began to build it using another three drops of devil blood essence and his own blood essence. This time, it took him two days to finish building that meridian path. This meridian path is five times more complicated than the human meridian path.
« It is finished! The only thing left is integrating with the devil root. » said the sweaty Yun Chen.
Yun Chen dug out the devil root rom the devil while covering his body with fire. Using the same previous method, he surrounded it and brought it inside his body. After that, he slowly connected the meridians coming from the demon qi dantian to the devil root. He then extracted some pure devil qi from the devil body and poured it directly into the demon qi dantian. The devil qi began to circulate inside the meridians and entered the devil root. Under the devil qi influence, the root began to transform in order to adapt to Yun Chen's body. In that process, some devil qi overflowed and began to corrupt Yun Chen. To protect himself, Yun Chen directly released fire thought out his body and slowly burned away the overflowing devil qi. The process of transformation of the devil root finished after about an hour. At the end of the transformation, Yun Chen was too tired and fainted. Before fainting, a bloody demon pattern shined on Yun Chen's forehead and disappeared.
Yun Chen slept until sunset. When he woke up his body was strengthened, and he was able to freely manipulate devil qi.
«Now that I have completed the demon qi dantian, I can also cultivate using devil qi. Since I didn't use the devil ape blood essence and instead used the devil's blood essence, let's call it the "Devil qi dantian" » Yun Chen told to himself.
Yun Chen took the rest of the day and the night to absorb the devil qi inside the devil body.
