"Roar!"
Soon, under the continuous scorching of the high-temperature liquid, the Wolf Demon was almost burned into a piece of black charcoal, its life force weakening constantly, on the verge of death.
Xu Ping naturally wouldn’t let this happen. He took out a Jade Bottle and twisted off the cap, revealing a drop of green Spiritual Liquid inside.
"Go!"
Xu Ping flicked his finger, and the green Spiritual Liquid shot out from the Jade Bottle into the mouth of the Wolf Demon.
Gulp!
The Wolf Demon swallowed the green Spiritual Liquid, and its nearly depleted life force surged back, the sounds of its screams getting even louder.
After several repetitions, the Wolf Demon was tortured to the point of being unrecognizable, unable even to let out a scream.
"This thod of refining is indeed cruel." Xu Ping frowned slightly.
Using demon beasts like this, he couldn’t imagine what the scene would be like if he used humans for refinent.
But he had no intention of stopping, after all, it was a demon beast.
Just as the Wolf Demon’s life force began to decline again, Xu Ping as usual prepared to instill it with green Spiritual Liquid.
But who would have thought.
The Wolf Demon’s life force declined too rapidly, disappearing in the blink of an eye, turning directly into a charred corpse.
"This..."
"Failed!"
Xu Ping was shocked, his face dark, "The life force declined too fast towards the end, there was no ti to react, it seems I need to instill more green Spiritual Liquid in the beginning."
He stopped the Earth Fire and used a Cleaning Talisman to lower the temperature of the charred corpse and waste materials before storing them in a storage bag.
After completing all this, Xu Ping began a second refinent.
This ti, he paid constant attention to the condition of the Demon Beast with his Divine Sense.
...
...
Three months later.
In the Earth Fire chamber, Xu Ping stared intently into the silver cauldron, at the Second-stage Rat Demon wrapped in high-temperature liquid.
He carefully controlled the Earth Fire, gradually refining various materials into its body.
As ti passed, the high-temperature liquid in the cauldron decreased.
Crack!
At this mont, a piece of charcoal slid off the Rat Demon’s body, revealing skin covered in black scales.
At the final mont, Xu Ping dared not slack off.
He remained fully focused on controlling the Earth Fire while also flicking a drop of green Spirit dicine into its mouth.
Crack, crack, crack...
More and more charcoal slid off the Second-stage Rat Demon, and at this mont, all the high-temperature liquid in the silver cauldron had been refined into its body.
Bang!
With a slight rumble, the charcoal on the Second-stage Rat Demon fell off. Its eyes suddenly opened, a ghostly light shining from its vertical pupils, a powerful aura emanating from its body, making it look like an armored demon god covered in black scales.
"Finally... it’s a success!" Xu Ping was overjoyed, the ti and effort spent had finally paid off with a successful refinent.
He stopped the Earth Fire and, suppressing his excitent, retrieved a Spirit Talisman from his storage bag.
"Go!"
He threw it forcefully, attaching it directly to the forehead of the Second-stage Rat Demon, then pinched a Magic Technique, chanting.
Buzz!
At this mont, the Spirit Talisman on the Second-stage Rat Demon’s forehead started to emit a strong light, so bright it was hard to keep eyes open.
A mont later, the light began to dissipate, and the Spirit Talisman slowly rged into its forehead, finally disappearing.
Then he took out a Spirit Control Token and imprinted his Divine Sense onto it.
Mysteriously, Xu Ping established a connection with the Second-stage Rat Demon, gaining control over it.
"Move!"
Suppressing his excitent, Xu Ping controlled its actions.
The Rat Demon stood up, walking steadily like a human.
"Not bad."
Xu Ping was pleased, there was no problem with controlling it, and simple commands could be executed smoothly.
"Let’s test its defensive power next."
Xu Ping retrieved the Blood-Drinking Sword from the Storage Ring, injecting a trace of Mana to slash at the black scales of the Second-stage Rat Demon.
Clang!
With a harsh tallic clash, the Blood-Drinking Sword was bounced off.
Xu Ping’s eyes lit up as he increased the Mana.
Only after injecting nearly half of his Mana was he able to leave a white mark on the black scales of the Second-stage Rat Demon.
Xu Ping didn’t continue the experint, satisfied with his understanding.
At least he would need to use nearly half his Mana to break through the Second-stage Rat Demon’s defenses.
Its defensive power wasn’t as good as the Bronze Corpse, but its strength wasn’t for direct confrontation.
Stealth and ambush were its true strengths.
"Finally, its ability to conceal Divine Sense."
The Earth Fire chamber was built with special ores, exceptionally sturdy, with an Array for protection, making Earth Escape difficult to perform, so it had to be outside.
Xu Ping left the Earth Fire chamber and arrived outside the Chen Clan territory.
"Hide!"
He commanded, and the Second-stage Rat Demon’s Demonic Power surged, instantly rging into the ground.
Xu Ping ticulously scanned with his Divine Sense but couldn’t detect the Second-stage Rat Demon at all.
If not for sensing the Rat Demon’s location in his heart, he probably wouldn’t have found it; it was quietly hiding a few yards underground just to his left.
"Not bad!"
Xu Ping was pleased, the Second-stage Rat Demon’s innate talent hadn’t diminished after refinent; even his Divine Sense, stronger than a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator’s, couldn’t detect it, let alone an ordinary Mid-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator.
Facing it head-on, with the Second-stage Demon Beast waiting to ambush, he might even be able to kill a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator with his apparent strength.
"I wonder, can the Second-stage Rat Demon evade a Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator’s Divine Sense?" Xu Ping suddenly pondered.
The Divine Sense range of a Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator generally reached nearly a hundred yards, much stronger than Xu Ping’s current strength. It might discover the Second-stage Rat Demon’s concealnt.
Of course, this was just speculation, since there was no Late-Stage Foundation Establishnt cultivator available for testing.
After a series of tests to familiarize himself with the Second-stage Rat Demon, he prepared to return to the Chen Clan territory.
Xu Ping’s brow suddenly twitched as he looked up to the sky.
In the distance, three Escape Lights were entangled in battle, heading north, directly towards the Chen Clan territory.
"This..."
Xu Ping frowned deeply; the auras of the three fighting reached Mid-Stage Foundation Establishnt.
"Send the Rat Demon to check first."
Xu Ping’s expression was serious; three Mid-Stage cultivators likely couldn’t break the Second-stage Upper Grade Array, Water Shadow Curtain Array, without other ans.
Yet it was enough to threaten him outside.
Although they appeared to be fighting each other, he naturally wouldn’t risk himself.
Under Xu Ping’s control, the Rat Demon proceeded swiftly, soon reaching the Chen Clan territory.
Through the Rat Demon’s eyes, he ’saw’ two auras of spiritual light besieging a third, while the Water Shadow Curtain Array of the Chen Clan territory was fully activated.
The originally nearly invisible transparent ripples now glowed brightly, looking like countless rivers flowing.
Inside the Water Shadow Curtain Array, Chen Li watched the battle outside nervously, only relaxing when the besieged Foundation Establishnt cultivator was killed, and the other two left.
Still, he remained vigilant, keeping the Water Shadow Curtain Array fully activated.
