After killing the Earthbind Rat, Leng Shiqi found a remote place and sank into the ground to recover his spirit force and heal his wounds.
He looked at the wound that almost went through his shoulder and felt a bit of fear. He made up his mind to not be so reckless before he reached the Spirit Vein Stage.
Then he used pills and the Netherworld Rune Diagram to treat his wounds. Unfortunately, the wound was too deep and would not heal in a short period of time.
Right now, his entire left arm was weak and his spirit force was not flowing smoothly. He estimated that he could only use about 70% of his strength during this period of time.
Since this was the case, he planned to rest for two days and refine the Earthbind Rat's demonic blood.
After Leng Shiqi adjusted his condition, he took out the Earthbind Rat's corpse. He first dug out the Earthbind Rat's demonic core. It was a demonic core that looked like a mud ball.
Leng Shiqi looked at the demonic core and hesitated.
Since he had another rank three demonic core, if he refined this demonic core into a beast origin battle pattern, his battle strength would definitely increase.
However, Leng Shiqi gave up in the end.
First of all, the Spirit Ruin Beast King's beast origin battle pattern was very convenient for him. It could also change his body shape to hide his identity, so he did not want to change it so easily.
Second of all, just the Vermillion Crag Beast's beast origin battle pattern was already too much for him. If he added the Earthbind Rat, he might not be able to start refining two beast origin battle patterns at the same time.
Third of all, the Earthbind Rat's demonic core should be able to increase his earth spirit force. However, this was purely a support effect for Leng Shiqi, so he was not very satisfied with its attributes.
If this Yao Core had clearly increased his strength, Leng Shiqi would not have hesitated.
Leng Shiqi could only put away the Earthbind Rat's demonic core. Then he began to refine the Earthbind Rat's demonic blood!
With the experience of refining the Vermillion Crag Beast's demonic blood, Leng Shiqi was much more successful this time. He finished refining it in about half an hour.
At this moment, his cultivation was very close to the peak of the ninth level of the Spirit Transformation Realm!
Leng Shiqi estimated that he would be able to reach the peak of Ninth Stage as long as he refined less than ten Rank Two Demonic Beasts' blood!
This time, he followed the city guards to clear out the Demonic Beasts. Now that most of the Rank Three Demonic Beasts in the periphery had been cleared out, it wouldn't be difficult for him to hunt down ten Rank Two Demonic Beasts.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that if he had known that the city guards would leave the city to hunt down the demonic beasts, he wouldn't have needed to join the city guards and take such a long detour.
However, he shook his head and muttered, "There's no 'if' in this world. Besides, if I didn't join the city guards, I wouldn't have gotten the Soul Splitting Technique."

At this moment, in the inner area of the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range, Lei Yuanwu and the two deputy commanders were standing with gloomy expressions.
After the three of them massacred the Tier-3 Demonic Beasts in the periphery, they planned to enter the inner area to see what the situation was like.
However, after they entered the inner region, they realized that something was wrong.
This place was too quiet!
They had entered the inner region many times before, so they naturally knew that there were not only Rank Three Demonic Beasts in the inner region, but also Rank Four and Rank Five Demonic Beasts!
It could be said that there were many Demonic Beasts in the inner region. However, they had been in the inner region for a long time, but they hadn't seen a single Demonic Beast!
Lei Yuanwu said in a deep voice, "Deputy Commander Qiao, you're the most familiar with the inner region. What do you think?"
Deputy Commander Qiao had lived in the Demon Suppressing Town for a long time and had entered the inner region many times. However, he shook his head and said, "Senior Commander, I've been in the Demon Suppressing Town for decades and have never seen the inner region so peaceful. There must be something going on."
The other Deputy Commander Ma said, "It must be related to the Blood Beast Sect and the Imperial Beast Abode. They were the ones who released the news about the Demonic Beast Tide.
Now, it seems that they were the ones behind it. "
Deputy Commander Qiao agreed with him, "That's right. At that time, I was suspicious. Why would these two sects travel thousands of miles from the Northern Wilderness to the Demon Suppressing Town?
Not long after they arrived, they said that there would be a Demonic Beast Tide. This is too coincidental.
Moreover, even if what they said was true, why did they enter the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range and not return yet?
All of these things show that the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range will not erupt with a Demonic Beast Tide, but they are deliberately using this as an excuse to prevent Spirit Cultivators from easily setting foot in this place! "
Lei Yuanwu looked at Deputy Commander Qiao with admiration and said, "I've already guessed these things, and the Old City Lord also knows about it."
The two Deputy Commanders were puzzled.
"If the Old City Lord knows, why would he let them do as they please?"
"With this, the Demon Suppressing Town has become much more desolate."
Lei Yuanwu sighed slightly, "So what if he knows?
The Old City Lord is a great expert of the Unity of Heaven and Man realm. He can intimidate a region, but in front of the two top sects, he has no room to speak.
Do you know that one of the three great Beast Kings of the Imperial Beast Abode, the Thousand Legged Beast King, the Great Elder of the Blood Beast Sect, Elder Xie, has personally come to the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range? "
"What?!" The two Deputy Commanders could not help but exclaim.
Of course, they knew who the Thousand Legged Beast King of the Imperial Beast Abode and the Great Elder of the Blood Beast Sect were. They were experts who surpassed the four realms of Heaven!
They were existences that they had to look up to!
They had heard of the rumors before, but they had always thought that it was just a rumor. They did not expect it to be true!
Why would such an expert personally come to the Demonic Miasma Mountain Range?
Could it be that there was a peerless treasure in the mountain range that they did not know of?
Lei Yuanwu also could not think of it. He only knew that even he had no room to interfere in this matter, so he said, "Now that the matter has been confirmed, let's go back after clearing out the rank three Demonic Beasts.
Remember, when you go back, you must not leak this matter out. Otherwise, it will only bring disaster to our Demon Suppressing Town! "
The two Deputy Commanders knew the seriousness of the matter and nodded.
This matter was obviously caused by the Imperial Beast Abode and the Blood Beast Sect, but the truth of this matter could not be made public. Otherwise, even the Demon Suppressing Town would not be able to withstand their anger.
Although the Demon Suppressing Town was a city of the Thunder Blaze Dynasty, the dynasty would definitely not offend two top forces for a Demon Suppressing Town, especially two top forces that did not belong to the Thunder Blaze Dynasty!
Even if the dynasty wanted to deal with them, they could not send troops to the north to suppress them.
Then, Lei Yuanwu and the other two returned to the periphery and quickly killed the rank three Demonic Beasts. In the evening, they prepared to return with the city guards.
At this time, Wei Hongyi summoned his captain and guards. Soon, he found that Leng Shiqi was not there. He frowned and asked Ding Zhou, "Where is your captain?"
Ding Zhou stammered and told him about their encounter with the rank three Demonic Beasts.
Wei Hongyi was shocked when he heard this, and then a strange look flashed across his eyes.
