Chapter 262: Five Elements Divine Ability

After completing the Medicinal Pill testing, Lin Jing looked at the five Pill Rats. These five Pill Rats could be considered to have escaped a great disaster, and their good fortune was not shallow.

Through the Tree-Man Pill, they had all changed their Physique to a certain extent; they were no longer test-subject beasts without any combat power. Although they were still far from having a Demon King bloodline, among ordinary Yao Beasts, they were definitely considered unique specimens.

“You do not need to return to the Crane Cauldron. I did not have much confidence in this pill testing, and your survival is an Opportunity. Cultivation is inherently a Heaven-Defying act. From now on, you will Cultivate near my Immortal Cave. Once you reach Foundation Establishment and achieve success in your cultivation, I will make you official members of the Demon Court.”

“Ai ai——” The five Pill Rats kowtowed towards Lin Jing.

Subsequently, the Little White Mice, led by the Little Black Rat, left the Immortal Cave to dig holes and build homes on the surrounding mountain peaks, while Lin Jing entered the Hourglass of Time to prepare for the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Core Formation.

Even the Pill Rats at the Qi Training Stage could handle four Tree-Man Pills; for the Pine Leaf Squirrel, it was naturally even easier.

“Click.” “Click…” Inside the Hourglass of Time, the Pine Leaf Squirrel swallowed one pill per bite. Indeed, while it took the Pill Rats several days to fully transform the Tree-Man Pills into organs, the Pine Leaf Squirrel took only a few minutes to transform all four Tree-Man Pills!!!

At this moment, the Pine Leaf Squirrel was in its Demon King True Body state when it consumed the Tree-Man Pills. After consumption, its appearance underwent subtle changes.

On the giant wooden Squirrel statue, the color of the wooden body deepened, shimmering with a golden light. On the body, which already had some small pine trees, other types of saplings grew, making the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s true form look more like a great mountain.

And on the small pine trees, the color of the Pine Cones also changed, turning from brown to a flame-like red, seemingly capable of detonating directly.

Besides that, the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s arms were overgrown with vines. Compared to the other Little White Mice, it looked more like a plant-based rat. However, all of this was for the power of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth!

With these plant organs as a medium, the Pine Leaf Squirrel could clearly perceive the power of Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth flowing within its body. The Five Elements power began to circulate within, and the Wood power, serving as the core, could effectively be converted into the power of other attributes.

At this moment, the Pine Leaf Squirrel, which had long since reached the limit of the Foundation Establishment Stage through cultivating the Longevity Technique, began directly compressing the Five Elements power to condense a Demon Core within its body!

The Earth Vein Spiritual Tree withered, its body shed its skin, the flaming Pine Cones dissipated, the Blood Demon Vine withered, and red leaves drifted down. The Five Elements power was entirely condensed within its body.

Lin Jing stayed by the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s side the entire time, but the Dragon Carp was even more concerned about the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s situation than Lin Jing.

It, the Dragon Carp, was undoubtedly the number one combat force in the team, possessing six types of exotic fire and various Bloodlines. Logically speaking, even if the Pine Leaf Squirrel formed its core using the Five Elements, since the Medicinal Pills were all refined by it, there was no reason for the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s strength to surpass its own after forming the core, right?

“Bo.” The Dragon Carp’s eyes flickered. Time passed bit by bit. The giant Demon King True Body statue stood on the ground, and Lin Jing sat cross-legged on top of the Demon King statue, sensing every slight change in the Pine Leaf Squirrel.

The arrival of the four plant organs undoubtedly elevated the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Bloodline Rank once again. Its evolutionary direction was towards becoming a plant-based life form. This Core Formation preceded the Breakthrough in Realm, and its Bloodline strength improved even earlier, finally reaching the Imperial Rank, following the Ice Soul Gu and the Dragon Carp.

Of course, compared to Bloodline Rank, the Golden Core Divine Ability was even more important! This was the most significant harvest a cultivator gained from Foundation Establishment to Core Formation, and it was a manifestation of the results of their previous cultivation!

In the blink of an eye, a month passed inside the Hourglass of Time. As the surrounding Five Elements Spiritual Qi surged, the Five Elements power within the Pine Leaf Squirrel had condensed into a colorful Demon Core. At this time, the Demon Core had already been nurturing a Demon Core Divine Ability for a long time—

Finally, as the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s aura completely stabilized at the Early Stage of the Demon Core stage, and as Lin Jing reached the Great Perfection of the Foundation Establishment Stage due to the feedback from the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Breakthrough, the information regarding the Demon Core Divine Ability nurtured by its Five Elements Demon Core appeared in both of their minds.

“Ai—” 【Demon Core Divine Ability: Five Elements World】 The Demon Core contains a Small World within itself. The more Five Elements items stored within the Small World, the stronger the power of the Small World. One can manifest the Five Elements Demon Core to attack directly, using the power of the Five Elements World to suppress enemies!

“It’s actually a space-attribute Divine Ability.” As soon as the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Demon Core Divine Ability was nurtured, Lin Jing exclaimed in surprise.

“Zhi!” Not only Lin Jing, but the Pine Leaf Squirrel was also pleasantly surprised. One must know that under normal circumstances, unless one had a special race or special Cultivation Technique, one could only open up an internal space upon reaching the Void Profound Realm.

Although it currently had many storage items, these Magic Treasures were ultimately external objects. Placing things inside them never made the Pine Leaf Squirrel feel at ease, as there was always the possibility of them being looted by enemies.

But now, the space appeared within the Demon Core, and the security of its resources was greatly enhanced. Even if an enemy looted its Demon Core, it could use the power of self-detonation to blow up the Demon Core; no one would be able to steal its resources.

“However, this Demon Core Divine Ability of yours is even more dangerous than the Dragon Carp’s.” The Demon Core contained a Small World and could be directly manifested to attack. Just thinking about it, Lin Jing knew that this Divine Ability could not be used while in the Demon Core stage.

Activating a Demon Core Divine Ability during the Demon Core stage would naturally wear down the Demon Core, and using the Demon Core to attack directly would only increase the risk of the Demon Core shattering.

“Bo, bo.” While the Pine Leaf Squirrel and Lin Jing communicated, the Dragon Carp was anxiously waiting on the side. So, what exactly was the strength of the Pine Leaf Squirrel after its Breakthrough?

“No rush. The most important thing now is the Glazed Immortal Eyes!” “Can it already synthesize Tier 3 Spiritual Plants? Can it already synthesize resources of other attributes!”

Lin Jing called out again. The Pine Leaf Squirrel shrank back from its colossal “Demon Emperor True Body” stance to its small Squirrel form. Perhaps because all the Five Elements power was condensed within the Demon Core, not only did the plant organs on its Demon Emperor True Body fade away, turning it into a pure wooden Squirrel statue, but after returning to its small Squirrel form, those red-leaf plant characteristics also completely disappeared.

However, both Lin Jing and the Pine Leaf Squirrel knew that the abilities of those plant organs could reappear in an instant as long as the Pine Leaf Squirrel activated them with the power of its Demon Core. For instance, the Space Red Leaf no longer required reliance on ordinary leaves to synthesize; it could be manifested with a wave of its hand. The Blood Demon Vine, flaming self-detonating Pine Cones, and so on, were the same.

“This is the Shapeshifting Grass.” Taking out a pile of Shapeshifting Grass that the Senior Sister had sent earlier, Lin Jing placed them casually on the ground, looking at the Pine Leaf Squirrel with anticipation.

“Ai!!” The Pine Leaf Squirrel patted its chest, indicating no problem.

It looked at the numerous Spiritual Plants, then activated the Glazed Immortal Eyes. Indeed, just like before, as the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Realm improved, the Glazed Immortal Eyes could synthesize higher-level Spiritual items!

However, unlike the ease of synthesizing Tier 1 and Tier 2 vegetation, this time synthesizing Tier 3 Shapeshifting Grass not only made the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s eyes sore, but its Magic Power was also consumed at an astonishing rate to convert into Eye Power. The consumption for synthesizing Tier 3 resources was greater than the Pine Leaf Squirrel had imagined.

Within seconds, all of the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s Magic Power as a Demon Core stage beast was exhausted, and at this time, the Shapeshifting Grass had not yet been successfully synthesized. Fortunately, Lin Jing noticed the abnormality and, while siphoning the Dragon Carp’s Magic Power, transmitted his own Magic Power to the Pine Leaf Squirrel. With the Magic Power support of three living beings, this attempt at the Glazed Immortal Eyes Divine Ability was barely successful.

The pile of Shapeshifting Grass turned into a single stalk of dark red Shapeshifting Grass—

“What’s going on? Is it this difficult to synthesize Tier 3 Spiritual Plants?” Lin Jing was panting, his face deathly pale. However, as the Pine Leaf Squirrel’s gaze turned towards the synthesized Shapeshifting Grass, Lin Jing’s expression became strange. Hmm??

【Mutated Shapeshifting Grass: After being consumed by a Yao Beast below the Demon Core stage, it can trigger the Shapeshifting Heavenly Tribulation. After resisting the baptism of the Heavenly Tribulation with its own physical body, it can transform into human form.】 It hadn’t even been processed into a Medicinal Pill yet, and it was already done???
