She glanced at her master in confusion, who was fully concentrated, his brows furrowed, and veins faintly bulging on his forehead.
Could it be... her master, like her earlier attempts, didn't actually inject spiritual energy into the demon core?
Crack!
A faint cracking sound came from the demon core, Jiang Yuebai's ears twitched, and she noticed that the demon core seemed to have developed an extra shell, crawling with tree-like cracks that kept extending, and the demon core, originally bright red, rapidly turned dark red.
Lii Jiuchuan's hand trembled, and the outer shell of the demon core shattered completely, leaving only a cherry-sized, deep blue light floating in Lii Jiuchuan's hand, rotating with a hiss.
