Chapter 1159: Magical Effect of the Beast Core
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The base was empty except for Chen Xiaobei who thought that killing the Demonic Beasts were like killing ants—there was no thrill, no challenge. It was better to stay back and put his feet up back here in the base.
He had no interest in joining the others in their child’s-play mission.
“Oh, I could use this time to train!”
Chen Xiaobei ran into the bedroom and took out the medium-grade Spiritual Stone and the Two-Star Patinated Bronze Beast Core from his Infinite Space Ring. Since he had a new resource in possession, he might as well give it a try.
If you do not try, you will never know.
“Hmm… I’ll start with the Spiritual Stones since it’s more convenient!”
Chen Xiaobei picked up the fist-sized Spiritual Stones and absorbed the Spiritual Qi into his Dantian.
“Wow! God, it’s dense!”
Chen Xiaobei immediately began to use the Spiritual Qi to increase his health via Emperor Health Ultimate Enhancement Skill.
…
“Shit! That’s fast! It hadn’t even been an hour and all the Spiritual Qi are used up!”
Chen Xiaobei was bewildered.
Ding!
[Cultivation: Early phase of Celestial Cultivation; Health: 90,400; Combat power: 70,000]
“It took me one day and 3,000 Spiritual Stones to increase my health by 300 back in the secret place. But with this medium-grade Spiritual Stone, which is equivalent to 1,000 low-grade Spiritual Stones, my health increased by 1,000 in only 1 hour! That’s like ten times faster! How incredible! Does that mean that it’s easier for those who are at Celestial Cultivation to absorb medium-grade Spiritual Stones?”
Chen Xiaobei deliberated for while before coming to a conclusion.
“Perhaps this has something to do with the density of the Spiritual Qi… Low-grade Spiritual Stones’ Qi are like a clear broth that had been boiled only once. Medium-grade Spiritual Stones are like a thick stock that has been boiled for many hours, resulting in a higher ‘nutritional concentration’, and better ‘nourishing effects’! It’s the same principle that applies to Spiritual Items. The denser it is, the more effective it is for training!”
This was, of course, just Chen Xiaobei’s own deduction. Whether or not that was true was not important.
What interested Chen Xiaobei was the medium-grade Spiritual Stones themselves.
“I will have to work really hard to get my hands on these medium-grade Spiritual Stones! I can save a lot of time training! I will just use the low-grade Spiritual Stones as fuel for crafting Spiritual Item and activating Witch Dragon Transformation Skill!”
Inside his Green Jade Gourd, there was a total of 8,000 Spiritual Qi: the 3,000 that he already had combined with the 5,000 he took from Ju Niao.
If Chen Xiaobei used them to train, it would take him three days and the results would be less satisfactory—it would just be a waste of time and resource.
It would be more suitable for fuel to craft other items.
In fact, he had another 2,000 Spiritual Qis, which would make it 10,000, Chen Xiaobei could borrow Monkey King’s Jingu Bang again!
If he had had so many Spiritual Qi when he snatched Shen Gongpao’s Spiritual Item, he would not have eaten it!
“Alright, the Beast Core is next!”
Chen Xiaobei turned his attention to the crystal the size of a jujube.
“Ning Yuchen said that this Beast Core can increase combat power or health by 100! It’d be great if it works as quickly as the medium-grade Spiritual Stone!”
Chen Xiaobei picked up the crystal and began to read it.
An unusual Spiritual Attribute actually communicated with Chen Xiaobei!
“Break!”
The Beast Core began to crack open, releasing a cloud of pale, red fumes.
“This must be the essence of the Beast Core! Sssshhk…”
Chen Xiaobei quickly inhaled the fumes through his mouth.
Ning Yuchen had told him that the Demonic Beasts were the quintessence of nature, and the essence of each beast was concealed inside their cores.
“Mm? This feeling… It’s really familiar…”
Chen Xiaobei closed his eyes and concentrated on the feeling coursing through him.
This was his first time coming into contact with a Beast Core and absorbing its essence, but there was a strange familiarity to it.
“Ah! Yes! It’s like the Blood Descendants’ Dark Powers!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes flew open at that realization. “It felt like the last time when I absorbed the Xiuhcoatl’s blood essence! It’s a different method but it also uses the Demonic Beasts’ essences to increase strength! Hmm, if that’s the case, could I use the Blood Descendants’ dark powers to convert the essence?”
If he does not try, he would never know. So, Chen Xiaobei began to summon the Dark Power.
When Damien used this Special Ability, he was able to increase both his health and combat power at once. But because Chen Xiaobei’s Dark Neutron was crushed once, the ability was weakened and slowed the process. But as long as it worked, Chen Xiaobei was at an advantage.
“It worked! It really works! People can normally increase either their health or combat power when they absorb the Beast Core essence but if I use the dark powers of the Blood Descendants to absorb the same Beast Core, I could increase both!”
Chen Xiaobei continued to use the Dark Power to convert the essence. It took him less than an hour to complete the whole process.
Ding!

“Hah! Both my health and my combat increased! Damn! This is awesome!” Chen Xiaobei was over the moon. “It appears that the Beast Core is the best resource for training! It’s convenient, efficient and the benefit is doubled! It’s practically tailored for me! Shit! I must catch up with Ning Yuchen and the others! The colonel said that the beasts they were fighting were unusual. Who knows, they might have higher-ranking Beast Cores! If I could harvest hundreds of them, my cultivation will soar!”
Chen Xiaobei did not even have to think twice before rushing out of the room.
Let us not forget that Chen Xiaobei’s plan was come to North Chasm to strengthen his cultivation!
Back in Atlantis, he made a promise to Demonic Fox that he would become so strong that would be the one protecting her instead of the other way around!
Getting stronger was Chen Xiaobei’s primary goal!
And the Beast Core was Chen Xiaobei’s shortcut to it!
…
Chen Xiaobei leaped onto the Somersault Cloud and disappeared into the sky.
In order to become stronger, Chen Xiaobei pressed forward courageously!
