Autumn passed and spring arrived. In the blink of an eye, four months had gone by.
Lü Zhong's life remained peaceful. Every day, besides cultivating and Talisman Making, he was concocting medicine to raise the Yellow Jade Rat.
After being fed dozens, even hundreds, of Mouse-Breeding Pills, its Metamorphosis accelerated dramatically. Not only was its body growing at a rate visible to the naked eye, but it had even begun to condense Demon Qi within.
Unlike cultivators, who could only condense a Golden Core after reaching the Core Formation Stage, Demon Beasts possessed an Inner Core from birth.
At first, a Demon Beast's Inner Core looked more like a flesh-and-blood organ.
Relying on this unique Blood and Flesh Inner Core, Demon Beasts could absorb and release Spiritual Qi at will. They could also devour various Spiritual Qi-infused Spiritual Objects to advance.
Based on Lü Zhong's observations, the Inner Core inside the Yellow Jade Rat was about to finish forming.
