In the main world, most of the spiritual beasts owned by cultivators were not directly caught and tamed from wild groups, but were cultivated by specialized beast tamers.
Many beast tamers are hunters. They capture and tame some monster beasts and breed them. They raise the carefully selected monster beast cubs from childhood to adulthood. When they grow into domesticated adult monster beasts, they sell them at a high price to gain profits.
, and the "Illustration of Ten Thousand Beasts" is specifically designed to serve beast tamers, allowing them to better understand monster beasts.
This classic is a rarity in the main world. The price of one copy is more than tens of thousands of sky stones, but for Qi Ying now, it is just a drop in the bucket.
I think there should be something better than "The Atlas of Beasts" among the small mountain of classics inside.
"Let's first see what role the monster's 'demon core' plays in the monster's advancement!"
Qi Ying began to study.
As the understanding deepened little by little, a look of surprise appeared on Qi Ying's face.
"I see!"
"No wonder..."
"Hahaha! This is great!"
The more Qi Ying looked at it, the more delighted he became.
…
Not all monsters have monster cores. For example, on the Wuming Mountain where Qi Ying used to be, those monster beasts that have not entered the level basically do not have monster cores. However, in the Beast Valley under Wuxiao Peak, the capital of Yunxiao King, most of the monsters have demon cores. Beasts all have demon cores.
It's just that things like demon cores are basically useless to cultivators. Individual alchemists will refine them into medicinal materials. Some array masters can save demon cores and make them into existences that supply the energy of the magic circle.
Only Qi Ying can apply the demon core to draw magic patterns, which greatly increases the value of the demon core.
However, for monsters, the monster core is crucial!
Just like the warrior's Qihai, Lingtai, and Yuandan.
The demon core of a demon beast is where the demon beast stores its own energy, and most demon beasts will use it as an energy transfer point and a hub of energy throughout the body.
As the monster grows, its core is constantly changing.
And - just like a cultivator must first cultivate the Qi Sea, Lingtai, and Yuan Dan in his body before he can continue to grow in cultivation, the transformation of the monster begins with the monster core and then spreads throughout the body, causing a qualitative change in the monster as a whole.
the difference is.
Human practitioners need to practice the exercises first.
The changes of the demon beast's demon core follow the demon core's own attributes and can continue to change if there is an energy supply.
In other words, if Qi Ying now regards his star core as the demon core of a monster, he does not need to practice according to a special method. He only needs to follow the star core's own evolution rules to provide energy to the star core. , and keep letting it grow.
"That's easy to say."
Qi Ying breathed a sigh of relief.
If the inference is correct, there is no need to figure out a set of techniques at all.
From now on, I can be lazy, just like Brother Liu and Xiaoxing, I can advance by constantly absorbing energy!
but.
Still have to test it first.
Qi Ying sat down cross-legged in the yard, and a cloud of mist arose around her. These were the solidified vitality of heaven and earth. They entered Qi Ying's body through every pore on her body, penetrated into her subcutaneous meridians, and traveled around her body. past.
There is no need to deliberately run the technique, these mist are transformed into small gray droplets, turning into pure energy, along the meridians, directly to their hub - the star core.
Buzz!
The gray "water flow" merges into the star core.
If it were before, when the Yuan Dan was not integrated with the Yuanshen, these pure energy would strengthen the Yuan Dan and bring a certain improvement to Qi Ying's cultivation. However, after reaching the perfection of Shenwu Realm, Qi Ying's Yuan Dan has grown to the limit. No matter how much energy is absorbed, the volume will not become larger.
Now.
The energy flowing into the star core is like a river flowing into the sea!
The carrying capacity in the star core is many times greater than that of Yuan Dan and Dou Qi Battle Ring.
Buzz!
More and more energy gathered in, as if it was thrown into a bottomless pit. Even after a certain amount of energy was injected, the star core began to rotate on its own, automatically absorbing energy, so that Qi Ying was already far away just by absorbing the surrounding heaven and earth energy. The energy needs of the star core cannot be solved.
"Fortunately, I have a lot of pills."
Qi Ying found a large number of bottles and cans from the storage space. The stack could be as large as a hill. They were all obtained from other cultivators' storage spaces, regardless of whether the elixirs were good or bad. Anyway, no matter poison or tonic, after being refined by blood, it will become the purest energy.
Ugh!
Ugh!
Qi Ying still swallowed the pills at first, but later, he directly used the power of his palm to smash various bottles and jars, along with the pills inside, and then opened his mouth to swallow them, just like his Sky-Swallowing White Tiger Spirit devouring the vitality of the world. In the same way, he swallowed countless pill fragments into his body.
Wow!
Within Qi Ying's body, it was like countless water flows were colliding and stirring.
What were once small streams all turned into mighty rivers.
The star core rotated faster, and after a while it suddenly slowed down again. Just like that, sometimes faster and sometimes slower, and finally when it was approaching stability, Qi Ying's consciousness seemed to be pulled by something, and he entered In total darkness.
"What is this place?"
Qi Ying felt that the surroundings were very empty, as if they were boundless.
Somewhat like... a galaxy without stars.
at this time.
Some pale silver light spots appeared in sight.
Looking from a distance, Qi Ying could not get closer. He seemed to be just an immovable ghost in this place.
"Those are... stardust?"
Although he could not move, Qi Ying's vision was very clear. He had experience in interstellar travel, and he could recognize at a glance that those pale silver light spots were very similar to the stardust in the galaxy, just like the sand and dust on the land. It's a very common thing.
Keep watching.
Qi Ying discovered that those stardust-like things were gradually gathering.
From dispersion to unity.
For a moment.
Qi Ying seemed to think of something.
"Xiao Xing said that when the Star Swallowing Beast reaches the virtual realm, the small piece of land in the original core space turns into a meteor... But now, my consciousness is probably in my 'star core', and the star chips in the middle, It’s the energy I’ve absorbed that is gathering and wants to turn into a shooting star!”
This result naturally surprised Qi Ying.
It really works!
Star core can be cultivated, and there is no need to create a separate technique.
According to the Star Core's own rules, it will almost be a matter of course! As long as there is enough energy and enough time is accumulated, the stardust will turn into meteors, and the meteors will turn into nebulae, until planets, stars, and even a galaxy universe are derived.
but.
Things are not exactly as imagined.
