Chapter 160: Chapter 65: Half-step Golden Core

Originally a Lower Grade ordinary bloodline Demon Beast,

it was relegated to being Yu Ziyu’s tool to obtain the Thunder Flame Sect’s underground mysterious realm opportunity, used and then discarded.

If not for Li Jizhou, it would have died fifty years ago.

However, the main reason Li Jizhou saved it in the first place was due to its loyalty in protecting its master.

Years ago, when Yu Ziyu disguised herself as a gravely injured and dying woman, it was this tool frog that dragged her back to the small courtyard and pleaded with Li Jizhou to save her multiple times.

Because of this loyalty, Li Jizhou saved it, nurtured it, despite not despising its initial weakness.

But he never expected it to become anything, it was merely a companion.

Later, due to poison testing, it unexpectedly mutated and subsequently broke through to Tier Two, even developing an illusion talent.

From then on, Li Jizhou started to have some expectations of it.

Later, during the Rong family’s Spirit Blood Pool bloodline advancement at Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain, hearing from Rong Jiangyan, Li Jizhou for the first time felt this fellow had decent willpower.

After its bloodline advanced to Middle Grade, it diligently sought treasures in the ocean these past few years, often encountering enemy demons without fear. Under repeated tempering, both its physical body and mind became outstanding, which comforted Li Jizhou.

Only then did he spend a great cost to help it solidify a Demon Pill, even going as far as physically confronting Yan Wenjue.

And today, the breaking of the Demon Core into three fragments, its willpower and determination made Li Jizhou grit his teeth!

The scene of nearly draining its own Bloodline Essence Source further inspired Li Jizhou’s admiration!

For the sake of solidifying a Demon Pill, for the possibility of moving forward again, every step it took was desperate!

Li Jizhou introspectively admitted it was something he couldn’t achieve.

“Is this still Guagua?” The more he thought, the more Li Jizhou felt it was unbelievable.

However, at this moment, he couldn’t afford to overthink.

The final step of solidifying the Demon Pill, also the most critical step, had begun.

At the Sea Eye where Guagua was located, a powerful Spiritual Pressure compressed the seawater into mist.

The mist surged upwards, forming a unique Spiritual Qi cloud sea layer.

“Finally started solidifying the Demon Pill!” Outside the Spirit Gathering Array, watching the cloud sea of Spiritual Qi emerge from the Sea Eye, both Master Shangshan and Yan Wenjue became alert again.

“Just a cloud sea three zhang high?” Master Shangshan looked somewhat baffled at the cloud sea above the Sea Eye, slightly stunned.

His Teng Snake’s initial step in solidifying the Demon Pill was a cloud sea of five zhang.

Yan Wenjue was also completely puzzled.

Not very sure what grade Han Zhuo’s demon beast was.

A three zhang cloud sea truly seemed a bit small, reflecting its current Spiritual Pressure compressing the Demon Pill.

“Huh, it’s increasing, increasing!” A day later, the three zhang cloud sea began to slowly expand.

“Five zhang!” Master Shangshan became tense, not knowing why he felt so nervous at the moment.

“Eight zhang… seems to be losing momentum!” Yan Wenjue slightly frowned.

To successfully solidify a Demon Pill, the Spiritual Pressure Qi Sea needs to be at least ten zhang.

The Fake Pill Great Demons secretly advancing on Pearl Jade Island ultimately reached a ten zhang cloud sea level at the final moment of Demon Pill solidification.

If less than ten zhang, it indicates difficulties in forming the Demon Pill, and once the Spiritual Pressure dissipates, it will disperse, failing to solidify the Pill.

Inside the Spirit Gathering Array, Li Jizhou constantly observed Guagua’s changes.

After a day’s compression, Guagua’s internal Demon Core fragments had slowly shaped into a sphere.

However, due to less Bloodline Essence Source earlier, the Demon Core fragments were not fully merged into liquid form.

Currently relying solely on Spiritual Pressure to compress, it was indeed lacking momentum.

If the Spiritual Pressure dissipated now, the Demon Pill would certainly scatter!

“Consume Celestial Pure Water!” Li Jizhou had to remind.

Originally, the best time for Celestial Pure Water was after the Demon Pill had formed, serving as the best means to enhance quality, allowing the Fake Pill to possibly transform into a True Core.

But now, Celestial Pure Water must be used to increase the success rate of solidifying the Pill.

Guagua, upon hearing this, still remained motionless, continuing to double its absorption of Spiritual Qi into its body, compressing the Demon Core.

After another half-day, seeing that Guagua’s internal Spiritual Pressure was starting to weaken, Li Jizhou frowned.

“Consume Celestial Pure Water!”

Guagua grimaced in pain as it made one last desperate effort to absorb Spiritual Qi, but it still didn’t work. Reluctantly, it had to follow Li Jizhou’s words and poured the small bottle of Celestial Pure Water into its mouth.

“Woosh~”

Celestial Pure Water indeed deserved to be Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects. As soon as it entered the body, it instantly mixed with its Bloodline Essence Source, then rapidly fused with the Demon Core fragments.

In an instant, the liquefaction of Demon Core fragments was evident, and with a press of Spiritual Pressure, the Demon Pill suddenly formed perfectly.

Simultaneously, the Spiritual Pressure cloud sea above its head instantly surged.

Directly reaching thirty zhang!

“Boom!” Master Shangshan suddenly stood up.

“What is happening? How could it suddenly surge so much?”

“Could it be… could it be Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects? And judging by the situation, it must be a Super Spiritual Object!”

Yan Wenjue’s eyes widened incredulously, watching the scene with disbelief.

A thirty zhang cloud sea basically reached True Core Level!

“A True Core is in sight!”

Yet internally shocked, Yan Wenjue silently admired Han Zhuo’s extraordinary fate.

Master Shangshan’s complexion was uncertain, practically fuming with rage in his eyes.

He regretted it dearly!

Had he known earlier of such Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects, why hesitate to kill and loot?

With such Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects, he could certainly nurture another Tier Three Great Demon!

But at this point, it was too late to regret.

Such Celestial and Earthly Spiritual Objects are rare in the world. That yellow-named thief must have exhausted his lifetime’s fortune to get one; how could there possibly be more?

Moreover, now it has already been consumed by the Spirit Pet, killing it wouldn’t retrieve it anymore.

“Alas!” Finally, he sat down heavily, feeling somewhat defeated.

Watching the scene unfold, a slight smile appeared on Li Jizhou’s face.
