Upon hearing Xia Liu's words, everyone gave an awkward smile.

Before, they wouldn't have dared to think this way.

A Demon Wolf with Golden Core Stage strength!

If unleashed in a fourth-tier Capital County, it could easily destroy an entire county.

But now, they were actually discussing how to deal with its corpse.

Its flesh and blood would surely help solidify their own cultivation and enhance their physical strength.

Yet the thought of the Demon Wolf's terrifying strength earlier.

Made everyone hesitant to go near it.

Fortunately, Xia Liu was there to give them courage.

Otherwise, they'd definitely be anxious.

"Good Friend Xia, the Demon Wolf's pelt is quite valuable, selling it for a thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones should be no problem."

Xia Liu suggested roasting the Demon Wolf with its skin, and Elder Zhou promptly reminded him.

"Oh! Its pelt is worth so much, are there any other valuable parts?"

Although Xia Liu hadn't purchased anything using Spirit Stones.

No one dislikes having too many Spirit Stones.

In case there's an auction or he sees something he likes in the future.

He might need to spend a huge amount of Spirit Stones.

So, it's best to be prepared.

"Its bones, if refined for essence by an Artifact Refiner, can be used to craft magic artifacts, which are also valuable, its..."

Elder Zhou promptly listed all the valuable parts he knew.

In the end, Xia Liu realized.

The Demon Wolf was a treasure trove.

According to Elder Zhou, even its flesh and blood were sought after, as they were supreme cultivation resources.

"Forget it, too troublesome, let's just roast and eat it!"

Xia Liu peeled off its pelt.

Gathered some branches to roast the body with Heavenly Gang Holy Fire.

"Wow! It smells amazing!"

An hour later, Zhou Yan looked at the golden roasted Demon Wolf, drooling.

"Almost done, everyone dig in, its flesh should be helpful for our cultivation."

"Daoist Fellow Xia, this feast sure is luxurious."

Zhou Ji marveled.

According to Elder Zhou, if the Demon Wolf's body were sold, it would fetch no less than ten thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.

Ten thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones are an immense fortune for smaller factions.

"Cough, cough, it's not quite luxurious, the resources spent to enhance one's energy body might be more expensive and rare."

"Hmm, when you put it that way, it makes sense!"

Elder Zhou strongly agreed with Xia Liu.

Sometimes, even a High-Rank Pill can be auctioned for ten thousand Supreme Grade Spirit Stones.

Even if consuming the pill doesn't provide much enhancement.

People still go wild in auctions.

A prime resource now, enjoying it yourself, is really nice!

After some polite exchanges, everyone took up blades to carve the golden roasted wolf meat.

Seeing this, Xia Liu also picked up his dagger.

"Such a sensation!"

As the wolf meat entered his mouth.

Xia Liu instantly noticed something amiss.

He felt like he was consuming Spiritual Energy instead of wolf meat!

Although this Spiritual Energy was faint.

It was incredibly pure.

This energy surged into his flesh, into his meridians.

Continuously refining, continuously helping Xia Liu improve.

"Elder Zhou, how does it feel to you? Does it seem like you're absorbing Spiritual Energy?"

Xia Liu quickly asked.

"No, but there's a faint power in the wolf meat, which might be extracted once satiated."

Elder Zhou truthfully replied to Xia Liu.

"Hmm, not quite."

Xia Liu didn't reveal it immediately.

This difference was huge.

The wolf meat entering the mouth directly turned into Spiritual Energy.

And autonomously entered the flesh and meridians for refining.

Previously, Xia Liu's physical body was at the Foundation Establishment Stage.

He felt that if he devoured the entire wolf.

His physique might reach Foundation Establishment Late Stage, or even break through to Golden Core Stage!

"Hey, your body seems strange, why is it like this?"

Elder Bai also noticed something peculiar about Xia Liu's body.

He had never seen a monster with such a constitution.

"Elder Bai, do you know what's going on?"

Xia Liu asked.

"No! But I've found another bizarre trait about you, your body autonomously refines the Demon Wolf's flesh and blood, you're probably the only one in the cultivation realm who can do that."

"Hmm, really...?"

Xia Liu was equally troubled.

What could really be going on...

He wasn't like this before.

"Don't overthink it, for cultivators, it's an immense blessing, next time you face a bottleneck, just go eat a few Spirit Beasts, you could easily advance, how terrifying!" 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

"Then if I consume a few cultivators, could I also enhance..."

"Cough, cough, don't eat people, that's against the Heavenly Dao Laws."

"Haha! I'm just joking."

Xia Liu laughed merrily, seemingly understanding why he had such a constitution.

It must've stemmed from consuming the flesh and blood inside that giant creature before entering the cultivation realm.

That might be why he inherited some of its traits.

Like this special ability to refine upon ingestion!

Indeed! That must be it!

"This is great! Hurry and eat, don't let them finish it all!"

Bai Jue urged.

"Haha, they'll be full after a few bites, so don't worry."

As expected, after several large chunks of meat, Elder Zhou and others couldn't eat any more.

They were so stuffed, they nearly gagged.

They couldn't be blamed.

Everyone's the same, once the stomach is full, even water can't go in.

Everyone sat on the ground refining the power within.

Helping their stomachs digest as well.

But after a while.

They all halted.

Only because of something in front that terrified them.

Xia Liu was still eating meat!

And his appetite was increasing!

The Demon Wolf's body was large to begin with, even after peeling off the pelt, there were nearly two tons of meat.

And as for what they saw?

In the next ancient hour.

Xia Liu had devoured all the Demon Wolf meat!

He even asked if anyone wanted more.

Even Zhou Ji, known for his massive appetite, nearly wanted to projectile from the question.

He had just been proud to boast of eating more than anyone.

However, Xia Liu's actions silenced him.

All he could do was worship, worship!

He alone!

Ate up all the bubbling golden wolf meat!

"Interesting!"

Feeling the tension in his blood and flesh, Xia Liu couldn't help but compliment inwardly.

Bai Jue measured his meat strength.

His physical strength had reached Foundation Establishment Late Stage!

One more step, and he'd be at the Golden Core Stage!

If he had the strength of a Golden Core Stage body.

In future, when encountering Foundation Establishment Cultivators, he'd only need his fists to crush them!

As for the Spiritual Energy within the Dantian, it had reached the peak of Qi Cultivation level fifteen.

Unfortunately, his foundation was lacking.

If the Origin entirely condensed into power.

He could smoothly step into Foundation Establishment!

"Brother Xia Liu, I just carved a piece I haven't eaten yet, do you want..."

Seeing the tall skeleton hanging on the wood, and Xia Liu still yearning beside it, Zhou Yan quickly presented the carved wolf meat.

"Cough, cough, I can't swallow anymore..."
