"Second Brother Chen, get up quickly!"
"The fire has been extinguished. You asked me to remind you before.”
After an unknown amount of time.
Chen Wenxuan, who was resting in the flower spirit's arms with his eyes closed, was gently pushed by the flower spirit.
Chen Wenxuan's eyes lit up. He sat up and looked in the direction of the six-winged centipede's corpse.
The fire he had lit on the six-winged centipede had already been extinguished. A group of roosters were riding on the six-winged centipede's corpse and whipping it crazily.
"Let's go. I'll show you something good!"
Seeing this, Chen Wenxuan immediately stood up and pulled the flower spirit over.
"The centipede pill should be in the front abdomen.”
After thinking for a moment, Chen Wenxuan stopped in front of the centipede's neck and abdomen.
Although he had never seen the Centipede Pill, he had heard of many legends. In unofficial history, it was said that centipedes that had become spirits would hide their inner cores in their necks and abdomen to facilitate their cultivation.
Chen Wenxuan took a knife from the waiter who was squatting on the ground and prying the jade. He then stabbed the centipede's back.
"You don't really want to eat it, do you?"
Seeing Chen Wenxuan slash at the six-winged centipede's corpse, the flower spirit couldn't believe it.
Chen Wenxuan didn't even turn his head and smiled excitedly.""You'll know later."
He stabbed the steel knife into the back of the six-winged centipede and cut along the edge of the shell. As if he was removing bones, he peeled off the entire shell.
The six-winged centipede had been roasted by the fire, and most of its flesh had been cooked. However, because it had not been roasted for long enough, there was still a lot of poisonous flesh left in the six-winged centipede's body.
Chen Wenxuan didn't dare to take the risk. He could only use the steel knife as a chopstick and stir it in the Six-winged Centipede's flesh.
Seeing this scene, the flower spirit was stunned.
He suddenly recalled the ancient books that he had seen in the clan that described demons.
Chen Wenxuan obviously didn't want to eat the Six-winged Centipede's meat!
Thinking of that possibility, the flower spirit's heart was filled with anticipation as it moved closer to Chen Wenxuan.
"Second Brother Chen, are you trying to dig out the inner core?”
"If it didn't have an inner core to nourish its essence, how could this six-winged centipede be so fierce?”
Chen Wenxuan's hands paused and he looked at the flower spirit with a smile.
The reason why spiritual monsters were harder to deal with than ordinary beasts was because they had formed inner cores.
Once an Inner Core was formed, a mortal beast would be able to break through the shackles of its bloodline and transform into a spirit.
The inner core was also the cultivation base of the monster. It was a product of the body's cauldron and the essence, qi, and spirit. It could be used to heal the body and absorb the essence of heaven and earth for cultivation.
It was no exaggeration to say that the inner core was the life of a spiritual monster. A spiritual monster that lost its inner core would not live long, and a spiritual monster that had an inner core would also be very difficult to kill.
There were even records in unofficial history that humans could cultivate inner cores.
However, there were many theories about relying on qi cultivation to condense the inner core and using yin and yang absorption techniques.
It was just that the legend was too old, and there had never been a real method of condensing the core in the modern Jianghu, so ordinary people only treated it as a rumor.
"If there really is an inner core, then we'll make a huge profit!”
The flower spirit was also excited. It wished that it could replace Chen Wenxuan and dig it up personally.
The inner core was considered a divine item in the medicine shop. If one could see the inner core with their own eyes, then one's life would not be in vain.
"It's not us, it's me."
Chen Wenxuan teased without turning his head.
"Tsk, I don't care." The flower spirit immediately became angry. It glared at Chen Wenxuan and then turned its gaze back to Chen Wenxuan's hand.
After chatting for a while, Chen Wenxuan's hands moved faster and faster.
After tearing apart three pieces of the centipede's shell, the steel knife finally found a small piece of something hard.
Chen Wenxuan's face lit up with joy. He quickly cut off the flesh and blood around the thing and picked it out.
It was a lump of flesh about the size of a lychee. It was red and black, and there was a faint red glow flowing on it, separating the rest of the Six-winged Centipede's flesh from it.
" Inner Core!"
The moment it saw the ball of meat, the flower spirit's eyes instantly widened as it cried out in surprise.
This six-winged centipede had actually formed an inner core in its body!
The corners of Chen Wenxuan's mouth curled up. He reached out and took the inner core of the six-winged centipede.
"Ding!"
" Mission completed: Abandon the ancient tombs of Hei Lian Mountain and head to Ping Mountain to obtain the inner core of the six-winged centipede.”
"Mission reward: Seven Star Fist, Two Finger Cave Exploration, Heaven Symbol Mantra.”
When the inner core was in his hand, the system notification sounded.
Chen Wenxuan instantly felt a bunch of unfamiliar knowledge and memories emerge, and they were deeply imprinted in his mind.
At the same time, a warm current surged on his hands, but it instantly receded after a few seconds.
"It's finally done!"
Chen Wenxuan let out a sigh of relief.
He could feel that his index and middle fingers had become more agile and powerful. He had also gained memories of the Heaven Symbol Formula, as well as the essence of the Seven Star Fist and the Two-Finger Cave Probing.
Although it was not his first time experiencing it, he still felt that it was extraordinary every time he received a system reward.
It felt like he had these skills in the first place, but he had forgotten about them halfway through. Now, he suddenly remembered all of them. It was as if he had a deep dream.
As for the changes in his hands, it was probably the hardware that the system had given him.
After all, two-finger probing was different from other secret techniques.
This double-fingered probing technique was considered a child's technique and had to be practiced from a young age. Once the bones of the hands were set, it would be impossible to practice this secret technique.
