For some Fake Pill forces, this is something they would be willing to give everything away for.

However, the precious rarity and scarcity of a Third-Stage Demon Core far exceed the imagination of an average cultivator.

After all, once a demon beast achieves the third stage, it will awaken one or even several innate divine abilities of astounding and unparalleled power.

To securely capture it is not easy; at least two or three cultivators of the same level are required to besiege it.

Moreover, during the siege, they have to be constantly on guard against the Third-Stage Demon Beast from being pushed to the brink and self-destructing its Demon Core.

Once the Demon Core self-destructs, it would be like pouring water into a bamboo basket, all efforts would be in vain.

For a general Golden Core power, a Third-Stage Demon Core is an extremely precious item.

Only those Nascent Soul powers with profound foundations can afford to be somewhat composed when dealing with a Third-Stage Demon Core.

"Store it well; it will definitely come in handy in the future!"

Xu Ping took out a jade box and carefully placed the Third-Stage Demon Core inside, then affixed a restriction talisman over it to prevent demon power leakage.

After properly storing the Third-Stage Demon Core, Xu Ping shifted his attention to the corpse of the Third-Stage Demon Beast.

Even though the Third-Stage Demon Beast's corpse is not as valuable as the Third-Stage Demon Core, it is still a rare item.

Not to mention, the Demon Beast Flesh from a Third-Stage Demon Beast has effects for Second-Stage Body Refining Cultivators that surpass any spirit pills and wondrous medicines.

And Xu Ping, cultivating the "Profound Turtle Mountain-Suppressing Skill," naturally seeks such highly energetic Third-Stage Demon Beast Flesh.

Several hours passed, and the refining room was bustling.

"Hoo!"

Xu Ping let out a deep breath, and though his face showed exhaustion, it couldn't hide his satisfaction. "Finally finished processing this Third-Stage Demon Beast corpse!"

The meat and feathers of a Third-Stage Demon Beast are extremely tough.

If one were to use a regular upper-grade magical artifact to cut, the artifact might be declared ruined before a few pieces of Demon Beast Flesh are processed.

After resting a moment, Xu Ping cleaned up the refining room thoroughly once more.

As he looked at the neat and tidy refining room, a satisfied smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Then, he plopped down on a chair, relaxing completely.

"The Third-Stage Demon Beast is dealt with. Now..."

Xu Ping mumbled, then with a flip of his hand, a jade bottle containing millennium spiritual liquid appeared in his hand.

Looking at the millennium spiritual liquid in the jade bottle emitting a gentle spiritual light, Xu Ping's eyes flashed with a fervent longing.

Despite spending so many resources and efforts, and even offending a Middle Stage Golden Core cultivator, Xu Ping felt it was all worth it when thinking about the effects of the millennium spiritual liquid.

Though he intensely desired to gulp down the millennium spiritual liquid right now, he ultimately restrained his impulse, suppressing his urgency.

"In such a state, it's not suitable to consume the millennium spiritual liquid. Better wait until my spirit, energy, and essence recover to their peak," Xu Ping murmured tiredly.

After storing the millennium spiritual liquid securely, he used mana to gather a water sphere, cleansing himself from head to toe, then took off his robe and fell into a deep sleep on the stone bed.

...

...

Seven days flew by like galloping horses, unnoticed in their passage.

The refining room was silent.

Xu Ping sat cross-legged on the stone bed.

His gaze fell on the jade bottle with the millennium spiritual liquid before him.

"Let's begin!"

Xu Ping's eyes showed determination as he carefully picked up and gently unplugged the cork.

Instantly, a fresh and pure aroma, with a slight sweet fragrance, filled the entire room.

This fragrance seemed to carry the depth of time, enchanting and intoxicating.

"Hoo!"

As Xu Ping inhaled the scent of the millennium spiritual liquid, a powerful, nearly manic longing erupted deep from within him.

The desire surged like a tidal wave, relentlessly battering his lines of rationality.

But this time, Xu Ping no longer suppressed his desire.

He gently tilted his head, slowly pouring the millennium spiritual liquid, and without hesitation, he drank it all in one gulp.

The spiritual liquid melted the moment it entered his mouth, transforming into a vast yet gentle spiritual power torrent, rampaging through his meridians.

This spiritual power carried incomparable vitality and energy; wherever it went, his meridians absorbed its nutrients greedily, like parched land receiving an overdue rain.

A never-before-experienced wondrous feeling arose from all over Xu Ping's body like curling green smoke.

This sensation was so seductive, so intoxicating, he felt almost entirely engulfed, forgetting everything.

Yet, he managed to operate the Longevity Skill with the last thread of his rationality.

As the technique was deployed, his internal spiritual power circulation system started operating at high speed, continuously refining the millennium spiritual liquid.

During the refinement process, Xu Ping's body underwent an astonishing transformation.

His bones emitted a crisp "crackling" sound as if being remodeled, growing tougher and more robust; his muscles constantly contracted and expanded, filled with explosive power.

This was merely the change in physique; more critically, his cultivation and longevity reached unprecedented heights...

Uncertain of how much time had passed.

The massive spiritual power torrent gradually subsided, and Xu Ping fully absorbed the millennium spiritual liquid.

Xu Ping slowly opened his eyes, and a gentle green light briefly passed through his pupils; he eagerly checked the panel.

[Name: Xu Ping]

[Lifespan: 68/678 years]

[Realm: Late-Stage Foundation Establishment: 65/100; Blood Demon Body Refining Second Layer: 99/100]

[Cultivation Technique: Longevity Skill Great Accomplishment: 1011/1600]

...

"Hahaha... Six hundred seventy-eight years!!"

Xu Ping's gaze fixed on the lifespan data displayed on the panel, and his excitement surged like a levee breaking flood, unable to be contained, he burst into raucous laughter.

This millennium spiritual liquid actually increased his lifespan by one hundred and twenty years!!

Such effects far exceeded the extreme limits reached by Third-Stage life-extending items, only Fourth-Rank longevity treasures might achieve such heaven-defying results!
