Refining the corpse, Heavenly Demon Phoenix Core

Mo Tianxing personally led a few subordinates to transport that massive Demonic Beast dried corpse to the courtyard where Shen Wen resided.

The dried corpse was covered by a black cloth, but one could still discern its astonishing silhouette, which emanated an ancient and savage aura.

"Great Master Kunpeng, I have brought everything you requested." Mo Tianxing directed his subordinates to carefully set down the dried corpse, his face full of smiles, and then respectfully handed over a storage ring filled with medicinal ingredients.

"These are the medicinal ingredients for the Break-Sect Pill, as well as the Azure Nether Fruit and Longevity King Jelly you specifically requested."

Shen Wen glanced at the massive dried corpse, nodded, then turned his gaze to Mo Tianxing and said, "The Heaven and Earth Energy fluctuations triggered by refining the Break-Sect Pill will be quite significant, much larger than when refining the Huangji Pill previously."

He paused for a moment and asked, "Do you intend for me to refine it right here in this courtyard, or should we go outside to find a quieter, more remote location?"

Upon hearing this, Mo Tianxing's face revealed a thoughtful expression, and his brows furrowed slightly.

He rubbed his hands together and answered cautiously, "Great Master, your consideration is thoughtful. The Break-Sect Pill… is simply too precious. One does not fear the thief stealing, but rather the thief coveting it."

"Refining it here in Black Emperor City, with so many eyes and ears, will inevitably attract unnecessary trouble."

He looked at Shen Wen and stated his plan, "In my opinion, it would be safer to find a secluded place outside the city."

"I know a few places that are absolutely quiet and where no one will disturb us."

Shen Wen had no objections to this and nodded decisively, "Very well. Then in three days, I will go with you."

"Good, good, good! Many thanks for your understanding, Great Master! Then I will go back to prepare and will come to invite you on time in three days!"

Seeing that Shen Wen had agreed, Mo Tianxing's face bloomed with smiles. He bowed again before leading his subordinates out.

After Mo Tianxing left, Shen Wen's attention fell entirely onto the dried corpse covered by the black cloth.

He stepped forward and reached out to lift the black cloth.

A Demonic Beast skeleton, which was still extremely massive even though it had shriveled and shrunk, was exposed before everyone's eyes.

It had wings on its back and a ferocious appearance. Although its flesh and blood had long since withered, leaving only pale, dried skin clinging to the bones, one could still sense that it must have been an extremely powerful existence during its lifetime.

Cao Ying, Xiao Yi Xian, Dan Chen, and Qing Lin were all attracted by the commotion and gathered around.

"Husband, is this that ancient Demonic Beast dried corpse?" Cao Ying looked it over curiously, her bewitching eyes filled with scrutiny.

Qing Lin looked at the massive skeleton and, feeling a bit afraid, leaned closer to Xiao Yi Xian, whispering, "Brother Shen Wen, what… what kind of Demonic Beast is this? It looks so scary."

Shen Wen reached out to touch the cold, hard bones of the dried corpse, sensing the faint energy fluctuations remaining within, and replied, "If I am not mistaken, this should be a Heavenly Demon Phoenix."

"A Heavenly Demon Phoenix?!"

Just as he finished speaking, Dan Chen, who was beside him, couldn't help but exclaim in shock, her beautiful face instantly filled with shock and worry.

She looked at Shen Wen and explained urgently, "The Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan is one of the three top-tier clans in the Demonic Beast world. Their strength is terrifying, their clan rules are strict, and they are particularly sensitive about their own Bloodline being exposed."

"They are nearly paranoid about protecting the corpses of their clan members; once they discover an outsider has meddled with one, they will definitely pursue and kill them relentlessly!"

Dan Chen's voice was clearly tense: "Brother Shen Wen, will handling this dried corpse… bring about retaliation from the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan?"

Hearing this, Shen Wen merely shook his head, his expression remaining calm.

He patted the hard bones of the dried corpse, producing a dull thud.

"Rest assured. This dried corpse has been dead for who knows how many years, and its energy is almost completely dissipated."

"As long as we don't openly use items made from their bodies in front of the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, who would know we have this?"

He looked at Dan Chen with a reassuring tone: "Besides, the Black-Corner Region is so large, and the heavens are high and the emperor is far away; it won't be that easy to be discovered."

After speaking, his gaze fell upon the dried corpse's pair of massive bone wings, and he had a plan in mind.

"The bone quality of these wings is quite good, and the power contained within has not yet completely dissipated."

He turned to look at Qing Lin, his tone gentle, "Qing Lin, this pair of bone wings can be used to refine a Flight Dou Technique for you, which will just happen to make up for your inability to form Dou Qi wings for now."

Upon hearing this, Qing Lin's large emerald-green eyes immediately lit up, and her face filled with surprise and anticipation: "Thank you, Brother Shen Wen!"

Shen Wen smiled and looked at the quiet Xiao Yi Xian beside him. Seeing that her gaze was also fixed on the dried corpse, he explained, "Xian'er, the essence refined from this dried corpse tends towards Wind and Fire attributes, which conflict with your Netherworld Poison Body and Calamity Poison Power."

"If you were to refine it forcefully, it would not only be unhelpful but could also cause your internal power to become chaotic, so I won't be allocating it to you this time."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi Xian immediately nodded obediently, her face showing no hint of disappointment, and she said softly, "I understand, Husband. Having the Netherworld Poison Flame is already enough for me, and the path of the poison pill is enough for me to study."

After making the arrangements, Shen Wen signaled to Cao Ying, "Ying'er, let's process this big guy."

"Alright." Cao Ying understood and stepped forward.

Both of them struck simultaneously, their vast Dou Qi transforming into sharp, peerless energy blades that precisely cut into the connection between the dried corpse's back and its bone wings.

With a few crisp "crack" sounds, the pair of massive bone wings were completely detached and temporarily stored away by Shen Wen in his storage ring.

Having lost the cover of the bone wings, the main body of the dried corpse revealed its pale, shriveled flesh and blood tissues inside.

"Only by refining it with Heavenly Flame can we force out the true essence of the power remaining within it."

As Shen Wen spoke, the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame rose from his palm, containing the power of the Flame Ancestral Symbol, which was enough to rival a Heavenly Flame.

Cao Ying also immediately summoned the Green Lotus Core Flame.

Under their control, the two powerful flames, like sentient fire snakes, instantly enveloped the entire dried corpse.

A searing high temperature permeated the air, and the flames gently yet domineeringly licked the shriveled corpse.

Under the scorching of the Heavenly Flames, that pale, shriveled flesh began to rapidly shrink and vaporize, eventually being burned away entirely.

At the same time, ten sharp claws also fell off the limbs, floating in the flames, gathering together with the other refined essence.

Gradually, within the flames, a liquid interwoven with cyan and red, containing pure energy and wind-thunder fluctuations, slowly took shape, emitting powerful energy fluctuations.

Finally, only the head remained floating, and Shen Wen frowned slightly.

"Ying'er, stop for a moment."

Hearing Shen Wen's words, Cao Ying withdrew the flames.

Shen Wen manipulated the blood that had drifted out, and one drop landed on the dried beast skin and head that had not yet been preserved under the flames.

A cyan-red blood mist spread within it. With the calcination of the flames, more and more cyan-red energy mist permeated from the withered skin of the Demonic Beast. These energy mists did not dissipate, hovering in the air above the courtyard.

Faintly, a strange, low roar resounded.

Shen Wen did not stop and continued to calcine until the beast skin completely turned into ashes, and a strong light interwoven with cyan and red suddenly surged forth.

Cai Lin waved her hand casually, shrouding this unusual phenomenon within the surroundings.

In the mid-air where everyone's gaze was fixed.

A crystal, colored in cyan and red with a slightly irregular shape, floated in mid-air without any support.

As it slowly rotated, fine cyan-red rays of light emanated from it, and merely these leaking energy rays caused the surrounding space to slightly exhibit signs of distortion.

"Is this a Heavenly Demon Phoenix Demonic Beast Core?"

Cao Ying's beautiful eyes widened; this was a huge gain!
