Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 272 Yuan-level Low-grade! Snow Soul Vermilion Fruit!

The silver-red light on the Purgatory Star Staff shone brightly as it slammed into the giant wolf's hind leg.

"Click—"

'

The sound of bones cracking.

The giant wolf let out a miserable howl and collapsed to the ground, its surging demonic energy suppressed by Zhu Ge's blood energy.

It struggled to stand up, but its hind legs were broken, and it couldn't stand steadily at all.

"Jianjian!" Zhu Ge called out.

"Here it comes!" Liu Jianjian jumped off Ma Zhu's back, made a hand seal, and a strand of hair fell down, turning into a thin thorn that pierced the giant wolf's forehead.

"Refine!"

Liu Jianjian sat down cross-legged, her demonic energy surging, and the demonic beasts in her hair fed her back with their demonic energy.

Chains appeared out of thin air and bound the giant wolf.

The giant wolf struggled desperately, its demonic aura intense, but its hind legs were broken, rendering it powerless to resist.

The fine thorns took root in its mind, connecting it with the demonic aura of the willow tip.

"Master, this wolf's demonic aura is so strong!" Liu Jianjian's face turned pale, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. "We'll have to wait a little longer."

Zhu Ge didn't interfere, but stood aside to protect Liu Jianjian.

The surrounding snow wolves had scattered, leaving only the giant wolf struggling.

Its eyes were filled with despair and resentment, but the fine thorns had already taken control of its soul, and it was powerless to resist.

As time passed, the giant wolf's struggles grew weaker and weaker, and its demonic aura became increasingly thin.

Liu Jianjian's face gradually turned from pale to rosy, and the demonic aura around her grew stronger.

"Is he about to break through?" A hint of surprise flashed in Zhu Ge's eyes.

Liu Jianjian has been stuck at the late stage of the Transformation Realm for a long time, without any opportunity to break through.

If she can use the power of this three-realm snow wolf to break through to the Essence Devouring Realm, then her "Demon Hunting Divine Technique" will reach a higher level.

Suddenly, the giant wolf let out a miserable howl, which was then absorbed into the hair.

The refining was successful!

Just then, the demonic energy emanating from Liu Jianjian erupted like a volcano, her hair fluttered up, and the tips of her hair shone with a dazzling light.

Her body slowly rose into the air under the impact of the demonic energy, her whole body enveloped in light.

"I've made it through!" Zhu Ge breathed a sigh of relief.

Liu Jianjian landed from mid-air, opened her eyes, and exclaimed excitedly, "Master! I've broken through! Devouring Essence Realm! Third Realm!"

"Congratulations," Zhu Ge said with a smile.

Liu Jianjian landed from mid-air, and the moment her feet touched the ground, a crack appeared beneath her: "Master, I—I'm much stronger now."

Liu Jianjian exclaimed with delight, "This technique is really good!"

"Now that you've reached the Devouring Essence Realm, your strength will naturally increase." Zhu Ge smiled. "After your demonic heart is condensed, the demonic energy will nourish your physical body, making your physique much stronger than before. Now, if you fight me, you won't be sent flying with a single punch like before."

Liu Jianjian clenched her fist, feeling the surging demonic energy within her body, her cheeks flushed with excitement.

The demonic beasts within her hair stirred restlessly, and the swordsman's voice emanated from within: "Master is awesome! You've reached the Devouring Essence Realm! Does that mean we can walk around like nobody's business from now on?"

"The ones that walk sideways are crabs," Liu Jianjian rolled her eyes.

"Then let's go vertically, and no one can stop us!" The swordsman was still excited.

The voice of the mighty monkey came from another strand of hair: "Master, let me go out for some fresh air, I'm suffocating."

With a wave of her hand, Liu Jianjian sent the mighty monkey leaping out of her hair and landing next to Ma Zhu. It stretched and then squatted down, staring longingly at the mulberry leaf in Zhu Sisi's hand.

"————" Zhu Sisi glanced at it expressionlessly, stuffed the mulberry leaf into her mouth, and quickened her chewing speed.

"Useless." Liu Jianjian recalled the Mighty King Monkey and clapped her hands. "Master, let's continue on our way."

"No rush." ​​Zhu Ge glanced at the mountainside of Jade Dragon Snow Mountain in the distance. The black dot had disappeared, leaving only pure white snow. "Since this pack of snow wolves is blocking the way here, it means there should be their den nearby, and there might be good stuff inside."

Liu Jianjian's eyes lit up: "Master, you mean—"

"Let's go take a look." Zhu Ge mounted his horse and galloped towards the mountainside.

Liu Jianjian nodded and immediately called out the giant wolf.

As soon as the giant wolf appeared, it wagged its tail and stuck out its tongue like a husky, and barked softly, "Hello, Master! Woof woof woof!"

""

"Do you have any treasures in your lair?" Zhu Ge asked with a smile.

"Yes!" The giant wolf wagged its tail. "I'll lead the way, Master!"

Immediately, Ma Zhu pulled the carriage and led them up the mountain.

As you walk up the mountainside, behind the snow-covered rocks, there is a hidden cave.

The entrance to the cave is small, only allowing one person to bend over and enter, but the inside is quite spacious.

Zhu Ge bent over and followed the giant wolf inside, with Liu Jianjian following behind, holding a fluorite in her hand to illuminate the cave.

Deep inside the cave, there were piles of more than a dozen monster skeletons, some of which had weathered into white powder, while others still had dried flesh and blood remaining.

Beside the skeleton, there were scattered fragments of gnawed magical artifacts and storage bags.

"These things must have been left behind by the humans killed by the snow wolves." Liu Jianjian squatted down and looked through the storage bags.

Most of the contents inside had been destroyed, with only a few bottles of elixirs and a few pieces of ore remaining intact.

The elixir is of low grade; it is a low-grade spiritual healing medicine.

The ore does have some value; it's low-grade Yuan-level cold iron, which can be used to forge weapons.

"It's better than nothing." Zhu Ge put the elixir and ore into his sleeve, his gaze falling on a spiritual herb deep in the cave.

The herb is pure white, only three inches tall, with thick leaves and a thumb-sized red fruit at the top.

The surface of the fruit has fine lines, and there is a faint sense of spiritual energy flowing through it.

"Low-grade Yuan level." Zhu Ge's eyes lit up as she carefully picked the fruit and stored it in her realm along with the spiritual herbs.

After carefully storing the spiritual herbs and fruits into her own realm, Zhu Ge had already made up her mind.

This low-grade Yuan-level fruit, combined with the power of witchcraft to tame Gu worms, might become a breakthrough for his witchcraft cultivation. He recalled the Gu worm cultivation method passed down by the old man in the Bone Monster clone, which mentioned a spiritual object called "Snow Soul Vermilion Fruit".

It is pure white, with thick leaves and red fruit, and grows in the lair of monsters in high-altitude, cold regions.

The spiritual herb before me is exactly the same as the Snow Soul Vermilion Fruit recorded in the annals.

"Good stuff." Zhu Ge's lips curled up slightly.

Liu Jianjian leaned closer, curiously examining the location that had been taken into her own realm: "Master, what kind of fruit is that? It's bright red and looks delicious."

"Snow Soul Vermilion Fruit," Zhu Ge said with a smile, "can be used to tame Gu worms."

"Gu worms?" Liu Jianjian drooled. "Master, you want to raise worms?"

Hedgehogs eat insects and are omnivorous.

"I didn't raise them, the sorcerers did." Zhu Ge smiled. "Gu worms are a method of sorcery. If used well, they are even more effective than demonic beasts."

Liu Jianjian nodded as if she understood, but whatever her master said was right anyway.

The giant wolf wagged its tail like a husky, looking at Zhu Ge ingratiatingly: "Master, are there any other treasures in the cave?"

"That's all." Zhu Ge looked around to make sure nothing was missing, then turned and walked out of the cave.

The sunlight shone brightly on the snow, blinding him. He squinted, gazing at the distant Jade Dragon Snow Mountain, pondering his next move. "Perhaps I could try this method of cultivating Gu worms?"
