Afterward, Zhang Ting searched the snake demon's body, and finally cut open its head. She extracted the demon's inner elixir and once again brought it to the spirit crow's beak. The spirit crow opened its mouth and swallowed it. Then, its body was engulfed in a halo of dawn light, and its aura gradually began to rise.
Qi Tian smacked his lips. The evolution of this spirit crow seemed too easy, just eat snake gallbladders and demon elixirs to advance. By comparison, the path of a cultivator like himself was much harder.
The spirit crow's absorption and evolution lasted for over an hour. Throughout this time, Zhang Ting stayed by its side, protecting the spirit crow with all her heart, and guarding against any sudden dangers that might arise.
Qi Tian did not disturb them from beginning to end. He even voluntarily moved back a distance and then, somewhat bored, leaned against the mountain wall and sat down on the ground.
