Refine the soul

  At this moment of Chu Yi's confusion, a somewhat unclear divine consciousness was transmitted, with vague words but truly expressing the meaning of obedience.

  And this divine consciousness originated from the crazy ape that was crawling in front of Chu Yi at this moment.

  "A demonic beast capable of spiritual communication with humans!"

  In Chu Yi's cognition, as well as the introduction in the annals of history, it seems that only spiritual beasts can achieve this. Unexpectedly, the seven-stage demon beast in front of him, a crazy ape, is also able to communicate with humans through divine consciousness, although it appears somewhat awkward, but it indeed possesses this ability.

  In fact, Chu Yi was unaware that generally speaking, even a ninth-grade demon beast would find it difficult to possess the ability to communicate with humans through divine sense. However, there is an exception - those demon beasts who have inherited the ancient bloodline.

  These demonic beasts have extremely high innate talent, but because of their young age, they are unable to bring out the powerful abilities within their bloodline. Their potential is several times stronger than that of ordinary demonic beasts, even ten times stronger.

  Those who evolved from demonic beasts to spiritual beasts are mostly this type of ancient bloodline demonic beast.

  This mad ape is only a thousand years old. If it didn't have any strange encounters, it would live to be five thousand years old and should be able to advance into a spiritual beast.

  Since birth, this violent ape has always been at the top of the food chain in Huoyun Valley, never having been beaten to such a sorry state. Most importantly, it was defeated in close combat, its specialty. Chu Yi's terrifying strength and his fierce battle intent had thoroughly subdued this still-growing, crazed violent ape.

  In the Xiu Zhen realm, the strong are revered, and it is no different among the demon beasts. In fact, the concept of "the strong are revered" is even clearer and more distinct.

  "This great ape has surrendered itself!"

  Chu Yi Yu had an interest in casting his gaze at the crazed ape that was prostrating itself before him, and he released a simple message to it through his divine sense.

  "Just follow me from now on."

  The mad ape indeed lived up to its reputation as a descendant of the ancient Thunder Ape, slowly standing up on its massive body and taking three-foot strides that shook the ground, walking to Chu Yi's side with a submissive attitude.

  "You're quite interesting, and you're also kind of cute. Since you've followed me as a younger brother, I shouldn't treat you unfairly, take it."

  Chu Yi smiled and took out a crystal core the size of a fist from his Qian Kun storage bag.

  The frenzied ape saw the crystal core, its two copper bell eyes stared even wider, and a large pile of drool flowed from the corner of its mouth, with an impatient look.

  "Look at you, so inexperienced, take it, take it, really haven't seen the world."

  Chuyi was amused by the bizarre appearance of the crazed ape and tossed the crystal core to it.

  The violent ape took over the crystal nucleus and swallowed it in one gulp. The speed was so fast that it could be compared to Zhu Bajie eating ginseng fruit.

  Crystal nucleus swallowed, the violent ape revealed an extremely enjoyable expression. After a moment, the violent ape let out a loud roar, pounding its thick and sturdy chest, and unknowingly, its body shape had grown significantly.

  His shiny black hair was even thicker, and the injuries he had sustained during his battle with Chu Yi had all healed completely, without leaving a single trace.

  In the distance, an old man with the surname Peng had already shown a look of envy in his eyes when Chu Yi took out the crystal core. He muttered to himself: "That's a demon core that can only be condensed after a seventh-tier demonic beast has grown for thousands of years! It's worth at least 100,000 spirit stones, and it was given to that violent ape to eat, what a waste."

  "Brother Peng, what is a Yao core? Why don't we have any from the Yao beasts we've hunted?"

  "The demon core is the concentrated essence of a demon beast's blood, refined and condensed into shape. It's not something that can be possessed by any demon beast below the seventh rank, and even for those at the seventh rank, it won't appear unless they have lived for over a thousand years."

  "This is a great thing, it's absolutely a rare spiritual material for refining elixirs. According to legend, if it's the demon core of a 9th rank demonic beast, its value can even be exchanged for a 5th grade dao elixir."

  But then Chu Yi saw Bao Yuan swallow the demon core, and his physique indeed made some progress, and he became even more determined to keep the big gibbon as a pet.

  "Follow me and eat well!" Chu Yi's divine consciousness conveyed to the crazed ape.

  The violent ape tasted the sweetness, its huge head nodded vigorously, and even a smile could be seen on its ferocious face. The big guy's mouth was wide open, revealing a row of snow-white teeth as sharp as knives, smiling brightly.

  Chu Yi was not unaware of the value of the demon core, but he didn't care. In the past hundred days, Chu Yi had killed seven-tiered demon beasts, none of which were less than a hundred, and some even reached three to five hundred.

  Among them, there were several demon beasts that were on the verge of breaking through to the eighth rank. The harvest from collecting their corpses was unimaginable, and not counting other things, just the demon cores alone numbered over sixty.

  "This senior, we are loose cultivators of the Sheng Tang country. Just now, thanks to your righteous act, I am truly grateful from the bottom of my heart." At this time, a Peng surname cultivator led four other loose cultivators to come before Chu Yi, and respectfully saluted him.

  After witnessing Chu Yi's astonishingly powerful strength, he naturally became the "senior" of the five.

  With Chu Yi's current spiritual strength, he can already cover an area of five miles around him. Naturally, he discovered the Peng surname cultivators hiding not far away early on.

  Five people came over to pay their respects. Chu Yixiu smiled politely and said, "It's also a fate that we can meet in this barbaric outer domain, so there's no need for too much courtesy."

  Chu Yi's gentle and harmonious attitude made the five cultivators feel a sense of relief in their hearts, and they also had a good impression of his easy-going and down-to-earth personality. After all, Chu Yi's strength was evident, and in this vast and wild outer realm, there had never been a shortage of dark and sinister events.

  "Elder, this frenzied ape is extremely difficult to tame. Although it has submitted to you now, it's hard to guarantee that it will remain so in the future. I suggest that you use a demon-suppressing talisman to capture it and store it in a spatial realm, using the power of the talisman to grind away its wild nature, making it easier to control and command later on." A young cultivator spoke up with the intention of currying favor with Chu Yi.

  No sooner had he finished speaking, the violent ape standing beside Chu Yi suddenly pounced forward, its massive palm rising with irresistible force to grab the talkative cultivator in its hand. With just a slight exertion of strength, it could crush him into a pulp.

  "Let go!" Chu Yi saw the situation and immediately punched a fist on Bao Yuan's body, with fierce and violent force, Bao Yuan's huge body retreated three steps backward, and sat down on the ground with a thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

  "Uggghhh..."

  The violent ape let go of the young monk with a look of grievance on his face, and let out a whimpering cry like an infant.

  "It's okay for others to bully me, but I'm not allowed to fight back? That's so unfair."

  A thought flashed through his mind and Chu Yi couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time, never expecting this big guy to still be so childish.

  "From now on, no one is allowed to hurt anyone without my permission. Follow me and your good days are just beginning."

  It's clear that the concept of "good days" is understood by the violent ape as always having delicious nuclei to swallow, and thinking about the delicious nucleus from just now, the violent ape starts drooling again, nodding its head vigorously.

  This scene left Peng and the others stunned once again, "This demon beast can understand human speech......and remember grudges......'demon beast' is no longer enough to describe it, 'monster' is more like it!"

  At this time, the female cultivator said with a hint of expectation: "The Feral Ape has been subdued by Senior, I wonder how Senior plans to deal with the 'Blood Linglong'?"

  Suddenly hearing the three words "Blood Linglong", the violent ape revealed a row of white sharp teeth, and stared at the female cultivator with a fierce glow in its eyes. However, having learned from the previous lesson, it didn't make a sudden move this time.
