Lv Nan was a bit dumbfounded, staring in disbelief at Bai Qi who was holding the demon pill with satisfaction as if admiring it.

A Second-Training Martial Artist punching a Demon King to death?

It sounds like an unbelievable fantasy tale!

He had just come down from the mountain and listened to storytellers, but wouldn't dare concoct stories like this!

"There is a rumor among the prestigious clans of the Eight Pillars of the Realm about a 'Little Overlord' known as the Golden Hammer Young Master, whose talents are peerless like a dragon among men, possessing unparalleled strength and might.

He once used three hammer strikes at Divine Capital Simurgh Platform to repel Pei Yuanqing, the leader of Celestial Water Prefecture... Brother Bai, compared to him, isn't much less, right?"

Qi Yan's mouth was dry, his voice as quiet as a mosquito, muttering to himself.

As a disciple of Maoshan, he thought he had seen a lot.

But tonight really opened his eyes, refreshing his understanding once again.

So this is how fierce a Martial Artist can be!

However, Brother Bai, you have the good prospects to be listed on Simurgh Platform and become an Upper Sect's true disciple.

Why would you idly stay in Black River County?

Qi Yan couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

It is said that shallow waters cannot raise a flood dragon.

The Black Water River is just eight hundred miles across, not even half the size of Nu Yun River.

How could it give rise to someone like Brother Bai...

Qi Yan racked his brains to think of a description, and finally could only come up with the word "prodigy".

The Dragon Court defines talents like "Centennial Prodigy", "Unmatched Genius", "Unique in History", "Unparalleled", and so on, in very simple terms—defying conventional logic and breaking existing perceptions!

For instance, the number of blood exchanges is limited to nine.

Yet some people can break through ten times.

This is a talent that defies normal logic.

Bai Qi, who punched a Demon King to death, completely fits this description and aligns perfectly.

This Bai Qilang, who roams Black River County, although only a Second-Training, possesses a physique strong enough to bridge the gap of levels and ridges.

Achieving the Four Great Perfection Achievements in the future and advancing to Grandmaster is almost a certainty.

If the elders of the seven Upper Sects saw him, they would desperately want to snatch him up as a prized apprentice!

"This Great Demon has been sleeping underground, eating dirt all day, it's not very smart, and faced with my fist, it did not dodge…"

Bai Qi slowly withdrew his stance, his Qi Blood roaring like a furnace, and then released a surging heat, evaporating the poison-laden blood.

With the aid of slaughter techniques, he easily extracted the Inner Pill completely.

Held in his palm, it was about the size of a human head, with ten flawless mountain patterns, perfectly natural.

Demonic beings don't have a very distinct level division, mostly determined by "years".

A thousand-year climate can be called a "Demon King".

Three thousand to eight thousand years becomes a "Demon Monarch".

Exceeding ten thousand years, it is a "Demon Emperor".

Of course, this "years" doesn't mean how long they've lived or existed.

But the essence contained in the demon pill.

Similar to how martial circles often say "twenty years of effort," or "a sixty-year cultivation," referring to one's accumulation.

"Demons open their intelligence too slowly, even with the Turbid Tide causing their demon pill to rapidly increase in essence, their intelligence does not develop as fast, the greater the demon, the more so.

If it were a Four Cultivation Grandmaster in its place, there would be no chance for me to deliberately punch, even if I used the Nine Oxen and Two Tigers' Power, it could simply leap several yards away, and I would have no way to deal with it."

Bai Qi pondered silently, how he effortlessly crushed a Demon King with a single punch.

Does not mean facing a Fourth Qi Cultivation Barrier Martial Arts Grandmaster, he could be equally matched.

A powerful killer move, or even Daoist Skill, must hit to be effective.

"Encountering a crafty old fox in the Jianghu, first use [Dragon Strategies and Tiger Tactics] to probe for weaknesses, remember, remember."

Bai Qi dismissed his thoughts and called out to Qi Yan:

"Brother Qi, quickly pack this thing up, boil it under fierce fire, day and night, that'll be enough for us to drink for ten days or half a month, sufficient for transformation."

A thousand-year climate demon pill is comparable to a continuous supply of treasured herbs and treasure fish.

Bai Qi had just gone through ten blood exchanges, now in the stage of refining Silver Marrow, nurturing Treasure Bones.

Desperately needs such potent wolves and tigers' medicine for nourishment to solidify an unimaginably robust foundation.

"How can I accept..."

Qi Yan scratched his head, somewhat embarrassed, that he and his junior brother Lv Nan did nothing, yet benefited from a thousand-year climate Great Demon Inner Pill.

A little bit like freeloading.

"We're all friends searching for treasure together, finders keepers, what's there to be polite about with me?"

Bai Qi generously tossed the demon pill over, then borrowed a steel knife, skillfully peeled skin, removed scales, and extracted tendons with the ease of having done it many times over.

It's true that the blood and flesh of Demonic beings contain toxic substances.

But through the meticulous tanning and refining of a Skillful Craftsman, they are still valuable materials.

As long as one doesn't drink its blood or eat its flesh.

Master Bai Qi has always had a thrifty and practical nature, adhering to the principle of maximizing utility.

"Brother Bai, you really are... skilled in everything."

Watching Bai Qi skillfully dismantling like a cook dissecting an ox, Lv Nan spoke sincerely:

"A natural expert at demon slaying, an exterminator, skins and bones them after killing, draws tendons and extracts marrow, leaving nothing to waste."

"What kind of high-level expert could cultivate a talent like Brother Bai, it's truly intriguing."

Qi Yan put away the large, rounded thousand-year demon pill, looking back at Guan Xingmiao, who had aged over twenty years, Tao Yun, who seemed shocked, and Old Man Zhou, who initiated this chaos.

"Brother Bai, about these people..."

Originally they entered the mountain seeking treasure but stumbled upon a thrilling spectacle.

As outsiders, Qi Yan and Lv Nan naturally left the disposal to Bai Qi.

Once Master Bai Qi cleaned up thoroughly, carefully packing various materials, his skill in slaughter techniques advanced a notch, instantly breaking through to mastery level.
