Chapter 301: Gray Energy Flow
As Su Jingzhen continued to approach the phantom beast, it did not want to wait for its demise.
The energy on the phantom beast’s body suddenly moved again.
A beastly roar echoed, and it charged towards Su Jingzhen once more.
At this moment, Su Jingzhen did not counterattack.
He activated the spiritual energy on the Pink Poisonous Woman seal on his chest.
With a thought, the phantom beast that was charging towards him suddenly lost all its strength and fell to the ground.
“Hahaha!”
Su Jingzhen burst out laughing at the sight.Earlier, with just a thought, the phantom beast’s power had been blocked by him.
Although it only took a few breaths for the phantom beast to recover, in a battle between cultivators, the outcome could be decided in an instant.
As the phantom beast’s body fully materialized, Su Jingzhen saw that it had four legs, a crocodile-like head, a long tail, and a body that resembled a large lizard.
Its entire body was a pale silver-white color, and its skin looked somewhat eerie. On its forehead, there was a mysterious, ice-blue symbol.
Su Jingzhen’s expression was one of surprise.
He knew that the phantom beast’s ability to turn transparent and nearly invisible was likely due to its unusual skin and the mysterious symbol on its forehead.
At this moment, the phantom beast’s pale blue eyes showed a hint of fear.
It retreated, its body constantly moving backward.
It was clear that it had given up and wanted to flee.
“You think you can just leave? My Bodhi liquid isn’t something that can be easily consumed.
You ate my Bodhi liquid, so now I’ll eat you. This is only natural.”
Su Jingzhen said, looking at the phantom beast with a warm smile.
The next moment, he charged towards the phantom beast with a brick.
The phantom beast’s pale blue eyes showed even more fear.
In that instant, it had no intention of engaging in a fierce battle with Su Jingzhen.
After the previous two exchanges, it had developed a certain fear of Su Jingzhen.
As Su Jingzhen approached it again, the phantom beast turned around and fled towards the depths of the forest.
“It’s a bit too late for you to want to leave now.”
Su Jingzhen’s mouth curled up into a cold smile.
The blood energy in his feet’s Surging Spring acupoints surged again.
His speed suddenly increased, and he charged towards the phantom beast’s neck with a brick.
This strike was fierce, and the black brick flew out of his hand!
In the instant it left his hand, the blood energy on the brick had reached its peak.
In an instant, it transformed into a brick-shaped dark energy projectile.
“Boom!”
The black brick struck the phantom beast’s neck without any warning.
Su Jingzhen heard a cracking sound, and the phantom beast’s neck bones were instantly shattered.
The phantom beast collapsed, its body crashing into the roots of a giant tree.
Its rapid breathing stirred up the dry leaves and twigs around the tree roots.
The black brick had many sharp spikes on its surface, and the impact was devastating.
At this moment, the phantom beast’s energy, which was comparable to that of a Mid Golden Core cultivator, had weakened significantly.
Su Jingzhen quickly approached the phantom beast, picked up the black brick, and ignored its venomous and ferocious gaze.
He struck the phantom beast’s head again with the brick.
In the world of cultivation, Su Jingzhen had no qualms about killing these demonic beasts.
In the next instant, the phantom beast’s head exploded.
However, Su Jingzhen avoided the ice-blue rune on its forehead, for fear of damaging it.
He had a feeling that the symbol was not ordinary.
After this strike, the phantom beast’s energy dissipated completely.
But in the instant its energy disappeared, Su Jingzhen suddenly saw a gray energy flow on the phantom beast’s body, which was quietly absorbed by the black brick.
“This…”
Su Jingzhen’s mind suddenly moved, and he remembered the two demonic beast cores that had been completely purified and became extremely pure.
“Could it be because of this reason?”
He muttered to himself, then pulled out a long sword.
He stabbed the sword into the phantom beast’s ugly head.
He knew that most demonic beast cores were located in their heads.
The phantom beast was no exception.
When its head was cut open, a silver crystal core, slightly larger than a thumb and oval in shape, appeared before Su Jingzhen.
He immediately picked up the crystal core.
After sensing it for a moment, his heart was once again filled with excitement.
Because the phantom beast’s crystal core had become extremely pure.
It no longer contained any of the demonic beast’s violent energy.
It was almost identical to the black wind leopard crystal core he had obtained earlier.
“These two demonic beasts have one thing in common: they both died from this black brick.”
Su Jingzhen had been wondering why some of the demonic beast crystal cores he obtained were completely purified, while others remained unchanged.
Now, he felt that he had grasped the key point.
And he didn’t need to try it with other demonic beasts to be sure; he knew it was definitely related to the black brick.
Because he had seen the gray energy flow earlier.
“This is indeed a good treasure!”
Su Jingzhen picked up the black brick again.
He found that this time, the black brick still didn’t have any blood on it.
“I’ll try to find a few more demonic beasts on the way back.
And now, this phantom beast is a treasure trove.”
Su Jingzhen said, putting the black brick away in his storage ring.
He then continued to use the long sword to dissect the phantom beast.
He was most interested in its pale silver skin.
He also dissected the meat and internal organs, putting them away in his storage ring.
“I wonder if I can find a skilled craftsman to turn this phantom beast skin into a magical artifact.
If I could have some stealth abilities, that would be great.”
Su Jingzhen said to himself, full of expectation.
After handling everything, the sky had already darkened, and the stars were out.
“I won’t go back tonight; Yuebai probably won’t be too eager to see me for the next two days.”
Su Jingzhen said to himself, thinking back to the events of the previous night with Luo Yuebai.
There was still a hint of intoxication on his face.
He couldn’t help but look at his hands, which had surpassed the gods the previous night.
“The next time I see Yuebai, maybe our emotional connection will be upgraded.”
Although they had gone that far the previous night, his relationship with Luo Yuebai was still only at the level of Slight Fondness.
He knew that Luo Yuebai didn’t dislike him, but she didn’t particularly like him either.
As he thought about this, Su Jingzhen flew back to the valley on his sword.
He decided to spend the night there.
Before long, a fragrant aroma wafted from the valley.
Su Jingzhen was controlling the Black Mountain furnace, and the aroma was coming from it.
However, this time, he wasn’t refining pills, but rather using the furnace to cook the phantom beast meat.
He had said earlier that he had to eat meat tonight!
