All the heavens begin with the mind-monkey.

After a while, the land deity finally came in, fanning himself with his sleeves.

Standing beside Ling Xuzi's half-charred body, he said, "So this monster was afraid of fire. I recall hearing some lesser demons say that this monster fought Guangzhi to a draw, and at the time, I thought it was only because the Black Wind Monster suppressed the matter. Now it seems that he must have suffered some hardship at Guangzhi's hands."

Zhe Xingsun said, "If he were afraid of fire, he should have left this place long ago. I fell from the sky and possess the divine power of indestructibility, yet he dared to open his mouth and bite me, breaking his front teeth and snapping his jawbone. However, I had already used my indestructible divine power when I fought those wolf demons in front of the mountain, so how dare he bite me like that?"

Zhe Xingsun was very curious about this.

If it weren't for Ling Xuzi's earlier attack, it would have taken much more effort to defeat this wolf demon. After all, although Guangzhi's Crimson Tide was useful, the fire waves it generated couldn't keep up with Ling Xuzi. If he retreated, he would have to give up the help of the fire waves and smoke and fight with his bare hands, which would have taken a lot of effort.

The land deity pondered for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said, "I know! It must be that those little wolf demons didn't tell Lingxuzi about your supernatural abilities."

He paused for a moment and explained, "Actually, the wolf demons of Black Wind Mountain are divided into the front and back mountains. The wolf demons in the front mountain are the old wolf demons who used to stay on Black Wind Mountain, while the wolf demons in the back mountain are all brought by Ling Xuzi from elsewhere and are close to him. The spiritual energy in the front mountain is thin compared to the back mountain, so the wolf demons in the front mountain are usually not well-fed and their stomachs are never full. It seems that they have long harbored resentment towards Ling Xuzi. When you killed them in the front mountain, I suppose no one went to inform Ling Xuzi. He didn't know what kind of supernatural power you had. He bit down on them, broke his own front teeth, and was then hit down by your staff, thus losing his life."

Zhe Xingsun nodded upon hearing this.

The Earth God walked up to Ling Xuzi again and poked him with his cane.

Ling Xuzi had already been burned until his skin was charred and his flesh was tender; if you poked him, the juices would splatter out.

The land deity stepped back in disdain, then said, "Lingxuzi has cultivated for a long time; he must have refined a delicate inner core. If you can find this inner core, you can find a skilled alchemist to concoct it into an immortal elixir. Consuming it will increase your magical power and improve your cultivation. Why don't you hurry and find it!"

Zhe Xingsun frowned slightly upon hearing this.

In the original story, the Earth God didn't say that to the Mandate of Heaven, nor did he ask him to dig out Ling Xuzi's body to find some exquisite inner core.

At that time, the Man of Destiny directly found a Jade Lotus Golden Pill, which was given to Lingxuzi by the Black Wind Monster. However, Lingxuzi did not use it and was killed, which benefited the Man of Destiny.

But when it came to him, the Jade Lotus Golden Elixir was gone, and he had to refine it himself using the Exquisite Inner Elixir. But what alchemy skills did he know? Nor did he know any alchemy masters.

Zhe Xingsun picked up Chi Chao and stabbed it into Ling Xuzi's body. With a forceful slash, he pulled out a delicate inner core in no time.

This exquisite inner core is not located elsewhere, but right in his heart, tightly connected to his heart meridian. With each heartbeat, blood is supplied into it, and it is refined by the spiritual energy of his entire body. It is unknown how many days passed before Lingxuzi finally refined this exquisite inner core.

The land deity found a piece of black cloth, wrapped the exquisite inner core in it, and tossed it to Zhe Xingsun.

Zhe Xingsun picked up the exquisite inner core and examined it. It didn't look like any elixir or elixir; instead, it resembled a strange organ, entirely yellow and irregularly shaped. It grows haphazardly, resembling some medicinal herbs like Ganoderma lucidum and Polygonatum, with some blood streaks spreading on it.

Zhe Xingsun held it in his hand, and could feel the abundant spiritual energy within the exquisite inner core. If he could absorb it, he could probably bring back all his supernatural powers from the Infinite Terror World in an instant, with a great surplus to spare.

Just as he was thinking, Zhe Xingsun suddenly felt that something was wrong.

After a moment of thought, he suddenly realized that when he had wrapped the spiritual essence left behind by the wolf demons he had killed around his fingertips, he felt that the spiritual essence could not be directly absorbed, and the gene lock was giving him a warning.

But now, holding the exquisite inner core in his hand, he felt no threat whatsoever, as if he could draw upon its spiritual essence at any moment to refine his supernatural powers.

Why are the spiritual essences obtained from killing wolf demons so different?

Some local deities also said that this exquisite inner core could be concocted into an elixir by a master, which could then be consumed to enhance magical power...

Zhe Xingsun seemed to have thought of something.
