Northern Cold Land, deep within an ice plain, inside a canyon.
The corpse of a giant wolf-type Demonic Beast lay quietly in the canyon.
Xiao Xue stripped away its Moon Eye, directly cutting off the source of the Wolf King's power.
Having lost its Moon Eye, the Wolf King was easily slain by Xiao Xue.
A long sword formed from the Bone Chilling Flame pierced directly through the wound at the center of its brow, completely destroying its entire skull.
Even though this Wolf King was a Possession, the Demonic Beast's Soul was still in its Sea of Consciousness.
With its Sea of Consciousness destroyed, the Wolf King naturally died completely.
And now, Xiao Xue was using the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire to condense a small knife, huffing and puffing as she skinned the Wolf King.
By using the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, she could ensure the fur remained as intact as possible during the dissection.
This Wolf King was, after all, a Seventh-Tier Magical Beast, or rather, it had reached the seventh tier in strength.
Even if it lost its Moon Eye and its cultivation dropped, its physical constitution would not change.
This wolf pelt was tougher than the bulletproof vests from her past life.
Ordinary weapons could not cut through it at all.
One must know, the dissection of a Demonic Beast is most difficult when there are no wounds on its body.
But once there is a single wound, the difficulty of dissection becomes much lower.
"Puchi!"
Following the tear at the center of its brow, the short sword in Xiao Xue's hand slashed fiercely.
Immediately, a tearing sound rang out, and the wound rapidly expanded.
"It takes this much effort just to cut this fur using the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire?" Xiao Xue could not help but be greatly astonished.
With a thought, she pulled out the short sword and raised her hand to strike suddenly at an intact patch of fur on the Wolf King's back.
The Snow Wolf King's back only sank slightly, but there was absolutely no sign of a wound on the fur.
Xiao Xue was stunned: "That's too abnormal!"
"I've really struck gold this time. Its Bloodline talent, Soul attacks, and even the defense of its fur are shockingly high."
"If it were a normal Seventh-Tier Wolf King, my chance of winning would probably only be twenty or thirty percent!"
The Moon-Eyed Snow Wolf King was also proficient in the Soul aspect.
If she had not mastered the Heart Sword, facing the Wolf King in its prime, even if they were of the same rank, she would not have gained much of an advantage in terms of the Soul.
The defensive power of the Moon-Eyed Snow Wolf King was also incredibly astonishing.
If she had encountered a normal Seventh-Tier Wolf King, she definitely would not have won so easily.
Encountering this Peak Moon-Eyed Snow Wolf King, Xiao Xue could only attack its weak points like its eyes, ears, and nose.
Given the agility of the Moon-Eyed Snow Wolf King, Xiao Xue's win rate was indeed very low; having twenty or thirty percent was considered good.
"Puchi!"
"Whirr!"
Xiao Xue quickly dissected it, first peeling off the entire magical and expensive pelt.
Then, she cut off all the hard claws and teeth of the Moon-Eyed Snow Wolf King.
These wolf claws and wolf teeth were all Materials of high strength, perfect for crafting weapons, and their value was equally extremely high.
Everything with a high price, Xiao Xue collected through dissection without exception.
In the end, she even burned the remaining flesh and bones with a fire, burning out a few drops of Essence Blood and bone marrow.
Although these Essence Blood and bone marrow might have been contaminated by the Death Qi, the energy within them was definitely not low.
At least sixty or seventy percent of the energy was contained within these few drops of Essence Blood and bone marrow.
As long as there was energy, it was a good thing.
Xiao Xue did not need to worry about these being wasted; her eldest Disciple, Xiao Yi Xian, possessed the Calamity Poison Body.
Even things that had been contaminated were tonic for Xiao Yi Xian.
Medusa stood to the side, looking at Xiao Xue speechlessly as she skinned and deboned the Wolf King's corpse, even extracting the bone marrow.
If a Soul Hall Protector were here, they might even praise the professionalism of Xiao Xue's technique.
After scattering the ashes of the Moon-Eyed Snow Wolf King, Xiao Xue took out a few Medicinal Pills and tossed them into her mouth, then reached out a hand toward Medusa.
Medusa: "???"
"The ice spirit cold marrow you promised me before should be given to me now." Xiao Xue said indifferently.
Having delayed for so long, it was time to refine the Bone Chilling Flame.
Ever since obtaining the Bone Chilling Flame, Xiao Xue had kept it in the System's Backpack.
After all, for one thing, Heavenly Flames could not be placed in a storage ring, otherwise, everything inside would be incinerated.
To store a Heavenly Flame in a storage ring, one could only use an empty one.
But ordinary storage rings were not safe enough, and the only Advanced storage ring she had was occupied by A-Li.
Therefore, Xiao Xue had always kept the Bone Chilling Flame in the Backpack.
And to refine the Bone Chilling Flame, she had prepared three things—
A sixth-grade pill, the green lotus pill; ice spirit cold spring, and ice spirit cold marrow.
For Xiao Xue, the ice spirit cold marrow could completely replace the function of a spirit storage, housing the Heavenly Flame.
After all, unlike the "fire seed" Xiao Yan refined in the original work, what she needed was to construct a "Water Source."
Ideally, the Heavenly Flame could directly merge into her own body.
The green lotus pill was in her storage ring, while the ice spirit cold spring and ice spirit cold marrow were both in Medusa's hands.
Come to think of it, these two items were the payment for her helping Medusa advance to a Dou Zong.
And now, with this Icy Earth Vein, whether she had the ice spirit cold spring or not was actually no longer important.
On top of this Icy Earth Vein, with the assistance of the terrain, her success rate in refining the Bone Chilling Flame could be increased by another ten or twenty percent.
Hearing this, Medusa finally came back to her senses and took a not-so-small jade box from her storage ring to hand to Xiao Xue.
Inside was the ice spirit cold marrow that Medusa had obtained by chance when she last came to the Northern Cold Land to search for ice spirit cold spring.
A single piece of ice spirit cold marrow could freeze an ordinary Dou Zong to death.
However, this was not absolute.
Those rumors circulating in the outside world were somewhat exaggerated.
Just like how, in public perception, the power of Heavenly Flames is terrifying, and "even a Dou Huang wouldn't dare to easily touch it."
Actually, this point was not wrong.
Even the nineteenth-ranked Green Lotus Core Flame, if fully erupted, could instantly burn a Dou Huang to ashes.
