Dong Xi was about to break through to the third level of the Qi Refinement stage, and her control of spiritual energy was also much easier.

She could even clearly sense the condition of the snake’s body through her spiritual Qi. The wound was terrible. There was something black on the bright red wound, which made the wound emit a disgusting smell.

Dong Xi’s hand was emitting light. The wood spiritual Qi seeped into the scale bit by bit, wrapping around the nearest black wound and slowly healing it.

After only seeing a little of the black wound, Dong Xi was already covered in sweat.

She retracted her hand and panted heavily.

Su Cheng felt the poison in his body decrease. Even though it was only a small amount, he was still very happy and started wagging his tail.

After suffering such a heavy injury, it would have taken about 100 years to recover. He did not expect that this human child’s spiritual energy was strange, but her cultivation was a little low.

Not only was the poison reduced in the areas that had been treated by her spiritual energy, but even the restrictive force from the Lightning Tribulation that had been left in the wound to balance his power had loosened a little.

Seeing that Dong Xi was so tired, he pondered for a moment, then took out an inner core from his storage space and threw it to Dong Xi.

Dong Xi lay paralyzed on the bed, thinking about whether to eat the Spirit Restore Pill or not.

An inner core appeared in front of her.

At first, she was stunned. Then, as if she had thought of something, she looked at Su Cheng in surprise.

Her mouth was wide open, and her eyes were filled with shock. “Big, big snake! This… This is your inner core?”

Hearing her question, Su Cheng was stunned for a moment before he came back to his senses. He said disdainfully, “Little girl, you’re not content with what you’ve got, and you dare to covet my inner core? Even if I gave it to you, you would still explode and die!”

When Dong Xi heard him say this, she smiled awkwardly and realized that she had misunderstood.

She reached out to catch the inner core that he threw over and felt the rich fire spiritual energy in it.

Dong Xi looked around curiously and tried to absorb the spiritual Qi inside.

But Su Cheng interrupted her.

Dong Xi frowned and looked at Su Cheng with dissatisfaction.

“What do you mean? Are you going back on your word now? You’ve already sent me off, and now you want me to go back?”

Su Cheng closed his eyes and did not bother to argue with the little girl. He just said, “You dare to directly absorb the inner core of a demon beast? You’re quite bold.”

Dong Xi had a confused look on her face. From what he said, it should be for her own good, right?

It’s fine. She did not understand, but someone else did.

She quietly picked up the communication jade slip and sent a question on it, [Fellow Immortals, can the spiritual energy of a demon beast’s inner core be directly absorbed?]

Very quickly, a friendly Immortal friend replied. [It looks like a newcomer. Well, the inner core of a demon beast is more violent and not suitable for humans.]

[It’s easy for your body to explode!]

[Even if you don’t explode, your veins will be shattered!]

[Unless it is refined into a pill, humans can not absorb it.]

…

Dong Xi finally understood. The inner core was indeed good, but it still needed to be refined into a medicinal pill.

Of course, pill merchants had always been purchasing inner cores. The stronger the demon beast, the more valuable the inner core was.

Just as Dong Xi was thinking about whether she should sell this inner core, she suddenly heard a soft breathing sound coming from beside him.

“What are you holding?” There was a sudden question.

Dong Xi was shocked and subconsciously turned around, but she directly hit Su Cheng’s chin.

This time, Dong Xi really cried out. It hurt!

She felt as if a part of her skull had shriveled off. How was this a chin that a human should have?

Just as she had this thought, Dong Xi immediately rejected it. She had almost forgotten that this guy was not human to begin with!

Su Cheng did not feel much pain. The most important thing for a demon beast was its body. Even a high-grade spirit tool might not be able to break his scales.

Otherwise, Su Cheng might have been gone after the attack from the eight sects and the Lightning Tribulation.

Su Cheng did not feel anything from Dong Xi’s bump. He only saw that the baby human was about to cry again.

He immediately lay back down and sneered, “You’re so fragile. You’re crying after just a bump. You’d better practice body cultivation!”

Su Cheng was just casually talking about it, but Dong Xi’s interest was instantly piqued and she immediately asked, “Body cultivation? Can you teach me?”

Su Cheng sized her up and said with a mocking expression,” You’re a human, so you’re not suitable for our snake race’s method.”

Dong Xi sighed in disappointment.

Su Cheng saw her expression and continued, “If you tell me what that thing was, I can also give you a human body cultivation technique.”

Dong Xi’s eyes lit up when he heard this. He immediately took out a communication jade slip. “You mean this thing?”

Su Cheng nodded, and Dong Xi immediately explained, “This is a communication Jade slip. Once you leave your spirit breath on it. No matter where the other party is, you can send a message. You can also check on the conversations of other people in the Immortal world. There are even rewards for missions or something…”
