Chapter 171 Refining Completed
It took a full seven days just to refine these thirteen demon cores.
For the past seven days, the giant white turtle has obediently served as a white jade prayer mat, behaving very well and obediently.
Moreover, sitting on the white giant turtle's carapace for a long time allows Xu Yunxin to absorb additional pure spiritual energy, which is many times better than the futons sold on the market!
Seeing how diligent the white giant turtle was, Xu Yunxin rewarded it with a set of ten consecutive hits on the spot.
Ten bolts of lightning and ten blessings surged across the white turtle's body, making it tremble with pleasure and constantly utter "Ha~ha," declaring that following the king was a blessing.
That's right, this giant white turtle has recognized Xu Yunxin as its king.
Xu Yunxin tried to correct it a couple of times, but this white turtle was not only stupid but also stubborn. Once it decided it was not going to change its mind, it would call out the same thing again after being corrected twice.
After bestowing blessings ten times, Xu Yunxin set off again with the white giant turtle and Xiao Qing. This time, they planned to explore a new area from south to west.
Fly south until you reach the outer edge of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland", then fly west at high speed. When the bamboo forest beneath your feet suddenly changes and all you see are jagged rocks, you have entered the southwest direction.
Heading west from the border, the terrain becomes increasingly higher, with strangely shaped hills stretching across the west. The soil on these hills is mostly yellow and red, and sulfur and toxic substances are prevalent in most areas, making the environment far harsher than that of Qifeng Mountain.
However, the spiritual energy here is quite abundant, enough to nurture second-tier demonic beasts.
Once they reached the southwest, the white giant turtle became unfamiliar with the terrain, but with Xiao Qing by its side, these were not difficult problems.
The monsters to the west are mostly scaled insects covered in scales and armor.
These scale-like insects either hide in the rocks and soil or are immersed in sulfur.
These scale insects are very irritable; anyone who enters their territory will be attacked.
Therefore, Xu Yunxin simply used himself as bait, swaggering low into the air to lure these monsters out to attack, and then the white giant turtle attacked.
Along the way, with Xiaoqing's protection, Xu Yunxin was able to use his magic to its fullest potential. Although he didn't deal much damage, his skills became more refined, and the progress bars for all his upgradeable skills increased significantly.
As for the monsters that attacked him, they were either ambushed and killed by the white giant turtle, or bound to death by Xiao Qing.
Xu Yunxin and his group traveled from the south to the west of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland," circling the hills that stretched for over 8,000 miles, roughly sifting through the second-tier demonic beasts in the west, before finally heading back home.
This time, he basically figured out the boundaries of the east, west, and southeast, and had a general idea of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland".
With due south as the coordinate, to the west lie hills stretching over 8,000 li, and to the east lies a bamboo forest stretching over 6,000 li.
The area extends more than 9,000 li to the due north, and Qingxi Town is located in the center of this "Thousand Lakes Wasteland" a little to the north.
The entire "Thousand Lakes Wasteland" covers a vast area.
In addition to its vast area, Xu Yunxin also made judgments based on his perception of the earth's energy and the presence of monsters on the surface.
It was discovered that the earth's energy in the southeast, southwest, and due north of the entire "Thousand Lakes Wasteland" carries strong Five Elements attributes.
The southeast is dominated by water, earth, and wood, while the southwest is dominated by earth, metal, and fire.
Xu Yunxin travels to few places in the north, but his travels are generally limited to areas related to wood, earth, and water.
These four directions each have their own emphasis in terms of the five elements, almost forming a closed loop of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, leaving the very center position empty.
No one knows what happened in the central area of the "Thousand Lakes Wasteland" that forced the five elements of spiritual energy to the four directions, turning the very center into a place almost devoid of spirits.
Fortunately, Xu Yunxin is a Druid, with the support of [Destiny] and [Skills], which allowed him to establish himself.
If any other force were here, they would have no choice but to pour money into the country and engage in a losing proposition.
However, the situation in Qingxi Town has now changed.
Although the spiritual energy remains the same, the earth's energy has become much stronger.
Xu Yunxin couldn't understand the reasoning behind this for the time being, and neither could Xiaoqing.
Suppressing these chaotic thoughts, Xu Yunxin bestowed another blessing upon the white giant turtle that had just been struck by lightning.
Xu Yunxin originally wanted to cancel the cycle of first giving an electric shock and then bestowing a blessing, and directly bestow a blessing upon the white giant turtle.
Who would have thought that the giant white turtle wouldn't be happy!
They insist on receiving a blessing before they are satisfied.
Xu Yunxin was completely baffled, but Xiaoqing noticed something fishy.
It turned out that the white giant turtle had thick skin and flesh, and the blue lightning that Xiao Qing threw out had some reserve power, so it wouldn't cause it much harm.
Moreover, the green lightning released by Xiaoqing also contained a faint trace of life force after the disaster.
This kind of vitality is very special and very rare.
It is special because it must be formed by the interaction and friction of the Yin and Yang energies of Jia wood and Yi wood.
The outward manifestation of the clash between Jia and Yi wood elements is azure lightning, which is born within the calamity.
Although the life force brought by the calamity could not offset the physical damage caused by the lightning, it could stimulate the bloodline essence of the white giant turtle!
In addition, the bloodline enhancement effect brought by Xu Yunxin's [Skill: World Tree Blessing], combined with the other two, the effect it gains from the blessing is actually almost equivalent to that of Xiao Ying and Xiao Mantis!
If Xu Yunxin waits until his Druid class level reaches level 15, and then uses a spirit contract to form a pact with the white giant turtle, it will probably become the second spirit beast under Xu Yunxin's command to advance to the third tier!
"Looking at his simple-minded and clumsy appearance, I never expected that 'a clumsy person can have good fortune'!"
Xu Yunxin watched as Xiao Ben squinted his eyes, enjoying the blessing, and couldn't help but sigh.
"It's a blessing that it met the young master."
Xiaoqing didn't think the turtle was stupid; she thought it was all because of the young master.
Xu Yunxin chuckled and ruffled Xiao Qing's hair: "How many demon cores can be refined this time?"
"I just counted. We hunted a total of 107 monsters, and there are 55 demon cores that can be used for refining. I've already taken them all, and we can start refining them once we get back to Seven Peaks Mountain."
"Among them, there are fourteen that can be refined into Fire Source Pills," should we still entrust them to Shaohua for refining?
Xiaoqing meticulously calculated the accounts, and Xu Yunxin said directly, "Keep four for me, and return the rest to Shaohua. Her talent in alchemy is very strong; the 'Fire Source Pills' she refines are no worse than those I refine."
The fact that Yue Shaohua's "Fire Source Pill" was of high quality was only one reason; another reason was that refining demon cores was extremely energy-consuming and time-consuming.
He kept four for himself to taste, and gave the rest to Yue Shaohua to refine pills, which would save a lot of time.
Returning to Qingxi Town from the southwest takes a little longer than returning from the southeast, but it still doesn't take more than two days.
Upon returning to Qifeng Mountain, he handed over the monster's corpse to Uncle Fu and the others for disposal, then went back to the top of Qifeng Mountain to continue sitting cross-legged on the back of the white giant turtle to refine the monster's core.
This time, Xu Yunxin's refining speed was much faster. He only spent ten days refining all forty-one demon cores in his hands.
