The current situation is quite clear. The Red-eyed Alligator Turtle and the Primordial Heart Tissue do not match and a serious rejection reaction has occurred. The pulsing red blood tumor is the evidence of this rejection.

It seems that the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle has been tormented by the red blood tumor for a long time and nobody has intruded on it until now. Now encountering Bai Pu and Ghost Leather, it doesn't care about the difference between human and demon and just lays down with its belly up, pleading with the two outsiders to perform "surgery" on it.

This also explains why when the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle turned over, it even used its tail to support the two, preventing Bai Pu and Ghost Leather from falling into the lake.

"We should delay for a while... wait until the colleagues from the Special Service Group arrive."

Bai Pu raised one hand, holding Ghost Leather's ankle, and lowered his head to observe the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle, thinking silently.

However, in the next second, Bai Pu suddenly felt his hand lighten and his body fall rapidly!

With a splash, Bai Pu landed on the soft belly of the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle, still holding in his hand... a severed leg.

It was Demon General Ghost Leather, who cruelly cut off his own calf!

Demon blood splattered, but Ghost Leather couldn't even let out a painful howl. His tongue suddenly contracted, leading his entire demon body to flip onto the dome and escape back to the surface through the broken hole.

Bai Pu shook his head, having no choice but to store Ghost Leather's foot in the Storage Space.

Although it smells bad, it is, after all, demonic material dropped from an Enhanced Leader, just like the Demon General's Hunting Scythe body, which might come in handy.

It was now difficult to manage; Bai Pu wanted to delay for a while, but the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle couldn't wait. It extended its long tail, thick as a large oil pipeline, and the tip poked Bai Pu's back.

The meaning was clear: hurry up!

Bai Pu had no choice but to take three hesitant steps forward until he stood in front of the red blood tumor.

As the frequency of the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle's tail tip poking increased, Bai Pu slowly drew out a long knife: "Hey, you should understand human language, right? I can help you cut this tumor, but I can't guarantee the consequences!"

The Red-eyed Alligator Turtle apparently possessed some intelligence and seemed to understand Bai Pu's meaning, gently tapping the tip of its tail rhythmically on his back twice.

"...Relax a little, or I might not be able to break through your defense."

Bai Pu's right hand slid down to his belt, and the sharp long saber fell into his palm.

Taking advantage of the power boost provided by the Genetic Fragment for now, Bai Pu gripped the long saber with both hands!

The [Immortal King's Iron Bracelets] passively triggered "Firm Wrist," providing an extra 10 attack power when weapons are held with both hands!

The +4 [Sharp Long Saber] glimmered, the saber slicing out a brilliant silver light band.

With a swoosh, the blood tumor was cut off cleanly!

Blood spurted out like a small fountain.

Bai Pu swung his saber in mid-air, crossing two strikes to slice open the outer layer of the flying blood tumor! Thereupon, a small, pulsing heart floated in the air.

This heart was entirely crystalline and clear, with a ruby-like texture. The blood stains on its surface couldn't linger and automatically slipped away.

The heart was fairly complete, not just a piece of heart tissue as rumored.

As for the reason, Bai Pu could speculate based on his knowledge of "Flesh and Blood Alchemy."

The Primordial Heart Tissue likely possessed the traits of being "alive" and "self-shaping."

A complete Primordial Heart, after being cut into several pieces, would have each piece of heart tissue automatically absorb external nutrients to reform into a complete heart shape, albeit much smaller.

Bai Pu dared not touch the heart directly with his hands.

Given its "alive" characteristic, once it comes into contact with a flesh-and-blood life form, it rapidly seizes the nutrients within the target body for itself!

Although Bai Pu could adapt to Source Blood, he relied on professionals to complete the development of Source Blood since injecting it directly into himself wouldn't likely end much better than the previous experimental subjects.

Bai Pu gently nudged the heart with his saber tip, intending to toss the Primordial Heart Tissue into the Storage Space.

[Warning: The living tissue of the Primordial Heart is a special Spirit Realm Wonder and cannot be stored alone. It must have a flesh-and-blood body supplying energy. If stored alone for too long, it may enter a deep sleep state.]

[In a deep sleep state, the living tissue of the Primordial Heart cannot be awakened in the Awakened Plane.]

Bai Pu was startled that the Spirit Realm Will would give a warning.

He pondered a bit, then took out the corpse of the Demon General's Hunting Scythe, opening its belly, and gently inserting the Primordial Heart Tissue into the Scythe's abdomen with the saber tip.

The corpse of the Demon General's Hunting Scythe, being at an Enhanced Leader Level, should be able to store the living tissue of the Primordial Heart for some time.

Bai Pu then checked for more information.

The Spirit Realm Will seemed quite friendly toward Bai Pu, probably due to his potential, and soon provided detailed guidance:

[In the current environment, the living tissue of the Primordial Heart can be stored for (58) days while maintaining activity.]

Of course, if it were a living Demon General body, it could likely hold it for an even longer time.

After the Primordial Heart Tissue entered the Scythe's abdomen, the abdomen quickly bulged like Pigsy who had drunk the water of the Mother-Child River.

This scene made Bai Pu's eye twitch; he seriously suspected that if he touched the heart recklessly, he might end up like the Scythe's corpse.

Looking back now... when General Manager Xiao Wu initially told Bai Pu about inviting him to join the Superstar Alliance, offering the Primordial Heart Tissue as a "reward," it always had an elusive malevolence to it.

Bai Pu tossed the Scythe's corpse into the Storage Space, and this time, there were no warnings from the Spirit Realm Will, but further instructions:

[You have obtained the special Spirit Realm Wonder: Living Tissue of the Primordial Heart.]

[You have discovered a clue for your second career transition. Please seek out a Spirit Realm individual with relevant professional knowledge to transplant the heart tissue.]

[Warning: The living tissue of the Primordial Heart possesses the characteristic of guaranteed drop upon death.]

A Spirit Realm individual with relevant professional knowledge...

Bai Pu's mind once again conjured the noble and beautiful image of Qin.

Whether Qin had this capability was uncertain. Bai Pu thought silently.

The blood fountain spurting from the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle's throat gradually subsided.

For an ordinary person, such blood loss would mean death ten times over, but for a giant like the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle, it was merely capillary rupture. It could even contract its skin and compress the vessels to actively stop the bleeding!

This colossal creature appeared quite happy, paddling its four hoofs in the green lakewater, actually joyfully backstroking.

After paddling for a while, the Red-eyed Alligator Turtle seemed to remember Bai Pu, its tail tip poking some part of its body, then deftly curling out a smooth white Bone Bead, presenting it to Bai Pu.

Bai Pu reached out to take it.

[You have obtained the Profound Turtle Bead.]

[Profound Turtle Bead: Essence coagulated from the body of a Profound Turtle, an invaluable celestial material and treasure. Consuming it can enhance All Attributes by 1 to 3 points (depending on the consumer's body compatibility).]
