Chapter 46

When Liu Ming returned to the first-floor hall somewhat dejectedly, the young woman in green was still looking down at the scroll in her hands, completely ignoring his return.

After giving the young woman a deep look, Liu Ming quietly left the pavilion.

Although he had gained nothing this time, and even lost the spirit stones he had just obtained, since the spirit master who was skilled in this area said there was nothing unusual about him, he was at least greatly relieved.

Perhaps the chill he felt in his feet earlier was really just a momentary illusion.

At this point, he could only console himself in this way.

After Liu Ming left the pavilion and returned to his courtyard, he immediately entered the cultivation room and sat down in a meditative posture. After re-examining his body internally and finding no abnormalities, he no longer dwelled on the matter. He took out the small box of giant rat flesh residue from his chest and examined it carefully.

He planned to go to the Spirit Law Pavilion on Jiuying Mountain to look up some records and decide how to handle it.

He had just completed a contribution point task and did not plan to go out on another mission in the short term. Instead, he wanted to improve his strength first before taking on some safer tasks.

After all, although he had gained some contribution points this time, he had almost lost his life to the giant rat, making him more eager to improve his self-preservation abilities.

Moreover, he had offended the mid-stage Spirit Disciple named Ouyang Xin on this trip, so it was better to lie low for a while.

The best way to improve his strength in the short term was to thoroughly master the new three-star shield and to cultivate the few simple spells he had learned to a small success stage.

After making up his mind, Liu Ming put away the wooden box containing the giant rat flesh residue and took out the triangular iron plate, placed it in his palm, calmed his mind, and began to slowly breathe in and out.

...

Two days later, when Liu Ming returned from the Spirit Law Pavilion and was reading a thick book in his room, his face often showed an extremely surprised expression.

After an unknown amount of time, when he closed the book, he could not help but become excited.

According to the book, even low-level demon beasts were valuable all over.

Eating demon beast flesh directly could increase one's cultivation and magic power. If the flesh was refined into a pill, the effect would be even better and could avoid some potential hazards from direct consumption.

Fortunately, these hazards referred to long-term consumption, and occasional direct consumption would not have much impact on the consumer.

The skin, fur, bones, and internal organs of demon beasts were all excellent materials for refining artifacts.

The woman named Ye Tianmei was at least a high-level spirit master. The demon beast she pursued would not be a low-level one.

Liu Ming's face changed several times, and he suddenly raised his hand to take out the small box of giant rat flesh residue again.

This time, after opening the lid, he found a pair of bamboo chopsticks and began to carefully separate the flesh, fur, and bone residue from the box, despite the strong smell.

After a while of hard work, he obtained one large and three small pieces of rat skin with more than twenty green hard hairs attached, and thirteen pieces of white bone residue of various sizes.

Liu Ming took out another small box, put the fur and bone residue in it, and then looked at the remaining giant rat flesh in the wooden box, his face showing a hint of hesitation. But after gritting his teeth, he picked up a small piece of rat meat with his fingers.

With a single hand gesture, a ball of clear water descended from the sky, washing away the dirt on the rat meat.

Changing the spell, a ball of flame appeared between his fingers, instantly igniting the rat meat and releasing a fragrant aroma.

Liu Ming moved his wrist slightly and threw the half-cooked rat meat into his mouth, chewing it carefully.

In the next moment, his eyes narrowed sharply.

The rat meat tasted surprisingly good, with an indescribable freshness with each bite. After swallowing, it directly transformed into a ball of hot energy that gathered in the spirit sea in his dantian.

With a slight effort to refine the energy in his spirit sea, pure essence power was directly converted from these energy balls, instantly becoming his own magic power.

Overjoyed, Liu Ming no longer cared about the taste of the rat meat, swallowing the rest in a few bites and immediately began to focus on cultivation.

When he opened his eyes again, it was already half a day later.

Checking his increased magic power, he found it had already equaled the effect of half a month of normal cultivation.

Liu Ming was stunned for a long time, then turned to look at the remaining giant rat flesh, unable to resist a burst of laughter.

The demon beast flesh did not cause much fullness and had such a surprising effect on increasing magic power.

This meant that if he ate two small pieces of flesh every day, he could cultivate the second level of the Numinous Bone Technique to the mid-stage Spirit Disciple level in less than a month.

However, after his laughter subsided and he thought deeper, he became somewhat anxious.

If eating a few pieces of demon beast flesh could easily advance one's cultivation, why would they, as Spirit Disciple disciples, need to cultivate so hard? There must be something wrong.

Looking at the rat meat in the wooden box, he felt somewhat puzzled.

Liu Ming did not know that while ordinary demon beasts could also increase magic power, they could not be this exaggerated.

A demon beast at the peak of the Condensation Liquid stage was something that a Spirit Disciple disciple could never obtain, and even a common spirit master might not have such an opportunity to consume it.

After all, in the entire Great Xuan Kingdom, there were probably only a few demon beasts at the Condensation Liquid stage, and none at the peak of the Condensation Liquid stage.

This level of demon beast had almost all its magic power refined into every piece of its flesh. Once consumed by an early-stage Spirit Disciple disciple, the effect was naturally extremely powerful.

If a late-stage Spirit Disciple disciple consumed it, the effect would not be as astonishing.

For a spirit master, consuming such a small piece of rat meat would be similar to eating a bowl of high-quality spirit rice.

For higher-level cultivators like Ye Tianmei and the gray-robed elder of the Savage Ghost Sect, consuming this flesh would have no significant effect.

Their daily cultivation increased their magic power more than consuming this demon beast flesh.

After pondering for a while, although Liu Ming did not fully understand everything, he vaguely guessed that the green-furred rat demon was far more powerful than he had imagined.

Just eating the rat demon flesh could increase his power so much. If it were refined into a pill by an alchemist, the effect would be even more astonishing.

Liu Ming thought about this, but the potential hazards of directly consuming demon beast flesh mentioned in the book made him hesitate.

However, if word got out about this high-level demon beast flesh, the sect would not leave even a bit for a three-meridian disciple like him. If some unscrupulous people found out, he might face other unpredictable consequences.

For safety, even if the effect was slightly worse, it was better to be safe than sorry.

As for the potential hazards of directly consuming demon beast flesh, although the book mentioned them vaguely, there was only half a box of rat meat, which was not long-term consumption, so it should not be a big problem.

Liu Ming was a decisive person. After thinking it over, he made a decision.

He immediately picked out another small piece of rat meat from the wooden box and began to wash and roast it...

Twenty days later, Liu Ming was sitting on the ground in a meditative posture, his eyes closed.

With each breath, the black qi surrounding his body, about a foot long, twisted and writhed as if it were alive, looking extremely strange.

After an unknown amount of time, Liu Ming opened his eyes, and the black qi immediately retreated into his body.

After checking his cultivation effect, a smile appeared on his face.

These twenty days of cultivation had been exceptionally smooth, not only increasing his magic power several times but also bringing him very close to completing the second level of the Numinous Bone Technique. In just three or four more days, he would truly advance to the mid-stage Spirit Disciple level.

This terrifying cultivation speed made him feel almost like he was in a dream during these twenty days.

Fortunately, the increasing magic power in his body and the significantly larger spirit sea were real, otherwise, he would have thought he was in a dream.

Liu Ming shook his head and turned to look at the wooden box beside him, showing a hint of regret.

The small box of flesh residue, which was originally half full, now had only a little left, probably just enough for the next few days.

Thinking about this, Liu Ming raised his arm and skillfully reached into the wooden box.

But at that moment, his face suddenly changed, and his movements froze, a look of fear flashing in his eyes.

"This is impossible! How could this happen!"

Liu Ming shouted, immediately sitting down in a meditative posture, quickly making hand seals and breathing deeply.

Black qi surged out of his body, swirling and dancing wildly...

After a meal's time, Liu Ming remained sitting on the ground, his back steaming with sweat, the black qi around him clearly reduced by nearly half.

An hour later, the black qi around him had thinned to a mere layer, completely returning to the level before he had consumed the rat meat twenty days ago.

After a long exhalation, Liu Ming opened his eyes again.

At this moment, his face was extremely grim.

His spirit sea, which had originally grown larger, had returned to its original size, and his once surging magic power was even less than before he consumed the rat meat.
