In front of the manor gates, Shen Yuan stood on the stone steps with his hands behind his back, gazing thoughtfully at the massive Human Bear Demon Beast corpse before him, lost in thought.
Shen Wenxing arrived, waved the villagers away, and approached his father.
"Did you kill it?"
Shen Wenxing nodded: "It's roughly equivalent to the Qi Cultivation second or third layer."
"I suspect there might be more than just this one Demon Beast in the mountains."
Shen Yuan descended the stone steps, took the spear from his hand, and poked open the bloody belly of the Human Bear, rummaging inside.
"The Alchemy Master's Manual records that when a Mortal Beast becomes a Demon, it forms a Primordial Pill in its abdomen."
"This Demon Essence Pill can be used as a material for Alchemy."
As he spoke, a quail egg-sized earth-yellow crystal rolled out from the belly of the Human Bear Demon Beast.
Seeing this, Shen Wenxing hurriedly picked it up and wiped it clean on the snow pile beside him.
