Chapter 230: Chapter 108: Super Evolution! Thunderstruck Ghost Mosquito! Skill Advancement

’It’s a good thing I can absorb this precious blood, but it must first undergo Refinement to remove the violent Demon Qi and any other dangerous impurities it might contain! Otherwise, I’ll just be courting death.’

It was a shame he couldn’t absorb it directly right now, but it wasn’t a dead end.

’As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood! A Great Medicine this rare is of incalculable value. I must preserve it properly for the future!’

Lin Yi quickly made his decision.

This half-vat of precious blood was an absolutely immense treasure for his future Cultivation path!

He controlled his Mosquito Avatar to find several unusually large, tough, half-meter-long leaves of an unknown plant from the valley ruins. He used them to cover the mouth of the stone vat, sealing it tightly.

Then,

it used its claws to scrape up the surrounding soil.

It carefully covered and compacted the soil, layer by layer,

sealing the entire stone vat until it looked like an inconspicuous mound of earth.

’Hopefully, this will slow the evaporation a little...’

A trace of worry still lingered in Lin Yi’s heart.

’This crude preservation method will only be effective for so long.’

’It’s a pity my main body can’t come here right away...’

He sighed inwardly again.

This method of preserving the precious blood was not a long-term solution at all.

Next, he had to have the Mosquito Avatar search for a Jade Ore Vein in the Taihang Mountain Range!

The reason was simple. If the precious Demon King blood was stored in an ordinary stone vat, its Spiritual Qi would dissipate too quickly, making long-term preservation impossible.

Only jade that contained Spiritual Qi could lock in the blood’s essential energy to the greatest extent.

After temporarily securing the sealed stone vat, the Mosquito Avatar once again became a busy bolt of lightning.

It began a systematic search of the valley ruins.

It found over thirty of the Snake King’s huge, shield-like scales in total.

Unfortunately, most of them had been shattered into palm-sized, twisted fragments with a dull luster during the fierce battle.

In the end, it carefully collected only seven complete scales. Each was half a meter in diameter, smooth as a mirror, with edges as sharp as a blade. They were incredibly heavy and radiated a cold Demon Qi.

It also found many of the Golden Eagle King’s Feathers, which looked as if they were forged from pure gold, but they were similarly damaged—broken and scorched ones were everywhere.

In the end, only five were intact.

These Feathers were a brilliant golden color, as heavy as refined iron, and a full seventy to eighty centimeters long. Their quills were so thick and strong that they could be used directly as swords!

As for the Bull King’s incredibly tough black hair, the harvest was the most abundant, piling up into a small hill!

Each strand was half a meter long, black as ink, and cool and hard to the touch, with a metallic texture.

Lin Yi even found a piece of the Bull King’s hide, with the hair still attached, that had been torn completely off!

The piece of hide was over thirty centimeters square. The hair on it was still thick and tough, with every strand standing on end.

’This hide... it’s a heaven-sent treasure!’

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Yi’s eyes.

A blueprint instantly formed in his mind.

’If I can tan it and split it into layers, I can get at least five thin sheets of leather! I’ll use the supple Bull King hide for the inner lining and meticulously weave the tough, black-iron-like Bull King hair for the outer layer...’

’If I make it into a greatcoat, its Defense Power will be absolutely shocking! It would be impervious to water and fire, and impenetrable by blades and spears! More importantly... wearing it, I’d look incredibly imposing, ridiculously cool!’

Looking at the mountain of spoils before him—

the vat of precious blood, the snake scales, the Feathers, the bull hair, the bull hide...

a huge sense of satisfaction welled up in Lin Yi’s heart.

But it was immediately replaced by a sense of urgency.

’I can’t stay here for long!’

he thought with alarm.

’The lingering might of the four Demon Kings might deter ordinary Demon Beasts for a while, but if some audacious team of human adventurers wanders in here and discovers these treasures...’

The moment the thought occurred,

the Mosquito Avatar sprang into action!

It first grabbed the heavy stone vat of precious blood and one of the huge, complete snake scales, then took flight, beating its wings and using all six of its legs.

It sped toward the hidden cave stronghold he had chosen long ago, deep within the Taihang Mountain Range!

A massive "moving" project had begun.

For the next two hours,

the Mosquito Avatar became the most diligent and efficient mover.

It made over a hundred high-speed round trips between the devastated Demon King battlefield and the hidden cave!

Each trip, it carried a load of precious materials, large or small.

When the final flight was over

and the Mosquito Avatar placed the last few strands of bull hair inside the cave,

the once-inconspicuous cavern was now glowing with a treasured light and filled with a thousand auspicious rays!

As far as the eye could see, the scene inside the cave was nothing short of spectacular.

On one side, huge snake scales shimmering with a sinister, cold light were neatly stacked like polished white jade shields;

next to them were the Feathers, which resembled pure gold and flowed with a metallic luster, each one containing the surging power of a demon bird;

and beyond that was a hillock of bull hair, each strand as hard as a steel needle and exuding a savage aura.

These three types of Demon Beast materials were sorted by category, each emanating fluctuations of Demon Qi of varying intensity.

And that wasn’t all.

On the other side, various oddly shaped "Demon Beast Exotic Golds" glittering with different metallic lusters were piled into a veritable mountain!

These were clearly the abundant spoils the Mosquito Avatar had accumulated from its continuous hunting in the treacherous depths of the Taihang Mountain Range.

And in the deepest part of the cave,

a newly cleared medicine field was particularly eye-catching.

A dozen or so Spirit Medicines of various forms had taken root there, their leaves unfurled as they breathed in and out a faint Spiritual Aura.

Although most of them were only first- and second-grade Low-tier Spirit Medicines,

there were still three plants that stood out from the rest—

they were shrouded in a much denser spiritual light, and faint runes could be seen flowing between their branches and leaves. They were, incredibly, Third Grade Spirit Medicines!
