Just as the Split Wind Beast was agitated and dizzy, Li Feiyu manipulated five main Flying Swords, condensing them into one. Taking advantage of this gap, he pierced directly through the Split Wind Beast's abdominal Dantian, and a green round pearl was still stuck to the five-colored Flying Sword.
The Split Wind Beast's aura weakened, and countless sub-swords passed through its body.
Li Feiyu did not dismember it but tried to keep the corpse intact. After its death, it transformed into its Demon Beast original form.
A massive Split Wind Beast corpse was collected by Li Feiyu into the Grand Fire cauldron. Of course, its soul was collected by the Soul Devouring Yin Plate, to be taken back and slowly processed.
After finishing, he retracted all his Flying Swords into his body, then let out a long breath. Such an all-out battle had consumed a significant amount of his Qi, almost depleting his Magic Power.
He held a sizable green round pearl between his fingertips, with a Storage Pouch hanging beside it, a faint smile on his face.
Han Li and Yaoer watched, dumbfounded, and only flew over after a moment of stunness.
Han Li said bitterly, "Senior Brother Li, your Divine Ability is too strong. The gap between us is truly growing larger and larger."
"Don't worry, you two will not be shortchanged. The blue flame wine that the Split Wind Beast mentioned is useless to me, so you can take it and divide it."
Han Li said, "Thank you, Senior Brother Li."
Yaoer nodded gently, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Li."
"Ya ya~" (What about me?) Crimson Crow flew over and landed on Li Feiyu's shoulder.
"Haha, you won't be forgotten!"
Li Feiyu smiled and tapped its head.
After retracting the Illusion Heart Bell and the Soul Devouring Yin Plate, Li Feiyu checked the contents of the Storage Pouch, then put it away and said, "Let's go see how rich an eighth-level demon Cultivator's family fortune truly is."
They entered the cave, arriving at the place where Li Feiyu had previously picked the thousand dew grass.
"Last time, I found the thousand dew grass here. The water in that pool is warm, so there should be the Split Wind Beast's true Immortal Cave below."
With Aura protecting their bodies, and Crimson Crow sent into the Void Garden Pearl, the three of them flew into the pool and continuously dived. Before long, they discovered an Immortal Cave.
Looking at the massive black stone door before them, white light flickered on the stone door, indicating the presence of a Restriction.
Li Feiyu summoned the Spirit Devouring Golden Cicada, which forcefully bit out a gap, allowing the group to pass through.
Han Li asked curiously, "Senior Brother Li, could that be the Spirit Devouring Golden Cicada? I didn't expect you could actually tame them?"
"I heard these are fierce insects. Almost no one has successfully tamed them before. Even if one forcibly suppresses them with Cultivation, they will eventually suffer a backlash. You must be careful."
Li Feiyu nodded, "I know what I'm doing."
They arrived in a dry passage. This passage was colorful, with various Dragon-eye-sized pearls embedded in the stone walls, reflecting each other like daylight.
"High-level Demon Beasts indeed have rich family fortunes. These round pearls are uncommon in the human world; they are Spirit Treasures only found in the deep sea, possessing simple abilities to ward off fire and water."
Han Li said, "The sea is the world of Demon Beasts. What is rare for us may not be for them. With enough time spent searching, one can always find many."
The passage was not long, and in a blink of an eye, they arrived at a large hall.
In the center of the hall was a pure white and crystal-clear jade table, along with several chairs similarly carved into beautiful women.
In each of the four corners was an antique-looking small cauldron, with a finger-thick black incense stick inserted into each cauldron, subtly emitting a delicate fragrance.
Actually, Li Feiyu had inspected the Split Wind Beast's Storage Pouch, and all the precious items such as blue flame wine, top-grade Materials, and the Thunder Roc skeleton were found within it.
However, he felt that there should still be many Materials in the Split Wind Beast's Immortal Cave; perhaps not top-grade, but they shouldn't be abandoned for nothing.
"Everyone, search around and see what's in the Immortal Cave. Then, I will distribute everything together."
Li Feiyu didn't think they would embezzle anything. Even if they did, the most valuable items were already in his hands, so he wouldn't feel the slightest bit of heartache.
The group split up, thoroughly exploring the Split Wind Beast's Immortal Cave inside and out, then reconvened in the main hall.
Han Li and Yaoer both placed the collected Storage Pouches on the jade table. On the ground was also a young Split Wind Beast, covered by a Aura shield, baring its teeth at them.
"Let's ignore the young Split Wind Beast for now. We'll distribute the other Materials first."
"Transformed demon Cultivators have long lifespans, and their collections are indeed not to be underestimated, so..."
Han Li said, "Senior Brother Li, there's really no need for this. We didn't do anything, and we shouldn't accept rewards for no merit. There's no need to share with us."
"Rules are rules. I'm reluctant to give half, but a token gesture is still necessary."
Li Feiyu took out many Materials from his Storage Pouch, suspended them in the air, and distributed them to the two.
"You can decide how to handle these Materials yourselves; there's no need to decline."
He then took out a jade pot from the Split Wind Beast's Storage Pouch, and then two small jade bottles, pouring some of the blue flame wine from the jade pot into the two small jade bottles.
"This blue flame wine is indeed a good thing, very valuable. Keep it safe. You can try consuming it when you encounter a Cultivation Bottleneck; it might speed up your Breakthrough time."
"Cultivation time is limited; the sooner you Breakthrough, the more beneficial it is for yourselves."
Han Li knew this was indeed very useful to him, so he ungraciously accepted it.
"Next is this cub, a third-level Demon Beast. Who wants to take it?"
"The Split Wind Beast has significant growth potential. You've seen its father's Divine Ability, and once it's cultivated to the fifth level, with its flying speed, very few in the Core Formation stage stage would be able to catch it."
Han Li and Yaoer exchanged glances. Yaoer saw that he was somewhat hesitant about accepting Li Feiyu's generosity, so she said, "Then give it to me."
Li Feiyu glanced at Han Li, smiled, and said, "Alright, this is a Spirit Beast bag. Once you've tamed and controlled it, you can put it inside."
Yaoer didn't refuse, accepting whatever came her way.
The two did not openly acknowledge their relationship in front of Han Li, still addressing each other by name or as Fellow Daoist.
Since they wouldn't be infatuated with each other, perhaps this kind of relationship was the best.
However, since Yaoer was already his woman, Li Feiyu naturally didn't mind helping her advance her Cultivation speed.
"Han Li, I have something good here that you should like."
Han Li said, "Senior Brother Li, what you've given me is already enough. There's really no need to do this again."
"Don't you want to see it first?"
"I remember you always envied my escape Divine Ability and my flying Spirit Beast, right? The Split Wind Beast once refined a pair of special Windfire Wings for itself, which was the fundamental source of its speed. If you refine it into your own Lifebound Treasure, you might be able to possess a powerful Divine Ability like wind escape."
Han Li's eyes lit up. Wind escape was indeed a life-saving Divine Ability, making his heart stir.
But he thought about it and finally politely refused, "I already owe Senior Brother you too much. Let's just forget it. Besides, isn't this thing very useful to you as well?"
"It is indeed useful to me." Li Feiyu's lips curved into an inexplicable smile, "But I have better. Refining one such Spirit Wing Magic Treasure is enough; there's no need to stack them."
"Moreover, do you think everything is given to you for free?"
"Don't I know your personality? Don't worry, everything has to be repaid, including the Medicinal Pills and other things promised before."
Han Li thought for a moment, "Then Senior Brother Li, you'd best be clear. You know my personality; even if it's you, I don't want to easily owe you a favor."
