After sighing with emotion, Wu Tian suddenly had an idea and muttered, "Wait a minute, logically speaking, shouldn't monsters like this have good things inside their bodies?"
"If it has some inner core, wouldn't my strength increase if I ate it?"
Wu Tian couldn't help but feel excited. He activated his X-ray vision and searched the python's body.
Indeed!
Things were as he expected!
Inside the python's body, he saw something extraordinary!
The object was suspended within the python's body. Because it was emitting light, Wu Tian couldn't see its true form.
But Wu Tian was certain that the object was definitely not ordinary, and it was very likely a great treasure!
Wu Tian naturally wouldn't let such a thing slip away.
After resting for a while, he stood up on his own and walked to the spot where the mysterious item was suspended.
Wu Tian pointed his finger at that area in mid-air.
Instantly, a sharp surge of spiritual energy shot out from his fingertip and struck the python's body.
The python's scales were so hard that the impact of the spiritual energy did not have a very obvious effect.
Wu Tian gathered spiritual energy again and struck the scales more than ten times in a row.
Blood splattered, and a bloody hole was finally torn open in the python's body!
"Come here!"
Wu Tian opened his palm, and spiritual energy immediately entered the bloody hole, forcefully pulling out the glowing object.
The object slowly fell into Wu Tian's hand.
At this moment, the python's body rapidly withered. In a short while, it turned into a dead snake half a zhang long.
Seeing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but feel deeply astonished.
So this was the true form of that python?
Such an ordinary little snake suddenly transformed into this monster. How much energy must the item in his hand contain!
Wu Tian's gaze fell upon the item in his hand. He activated his X-ray vision again, scanning for information about it.
After recognizing the object, Wu Tian's eyes immediately filled with ecstatic joy.
It was actually a hundred-year spirit pill!
This spirit pill contained an unimaginable amount of spiritual energy. If he consumed it, his spiritual energy would increase tremendously!
"Today has been a huge gain..."
Wu Tian's body began to tremble slightly from his excitement.
The benefits he had received recently were truly coming one after another.
First, it was the "Heavenly Thunder Treasury," then the "Heavenly Return Immortal Grass," and now this hundred-year spirit pill...
Wu Tian felt as if heaven itself was helping him, wanting him to become stronger and possess enough strength to deal with Su Qiannai and the pressure from his family.
Afterward, Wu Tian didn't linger there any longer. He soon descended the mountain and ran back to his home.
He took the hundred-year spirit pill and swallowed it whole without a second word, then began to circulate his spiritual energy to digest the energy within the pill.
However, the moment the spirit pill was activated, Wu Tian's closed eyes suddenly snapped open!
A look of pain appeared on his face.
Then, his body trembled, and he actually spat out the spirit pill!
"How could this happen..."
Wu Tian looked at the spirit pill suspended in mid-air, finding it unbelievable.
Just now, he sensed a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupting from the pill.
And that spiritual energy was too fierce; his body simply couldn't withstand it!
If he hadn't forced the spirit pill out of his body in time, he would have likely exploded on the spot!
Just as Wu Tian was pondering the matter with confusion, a hoarse and ethereal voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Your current spiritual energy level is insufficient. You need to combine it with the Melting Gold Grass to refine this hundred-year spirit pill."
Wu Tian was startled and looked around, asking, "Who is it? Who's speaking?"
There wasn't even a shadow of a person around, let alone someone speaking.
Wu Tian felt very strange, yet he always felt as if he had heard this voice somewhere before.
He suddenly remembered. It was that voice!
The voice that appeared in his mind when he first gained spiritual energy was exactly the same as the one he had just heard!
"Shen Nong Medicine God..." Wu Tian said softly.
He remembered that the voice claimed to be Shen Nong Medicine God.
However, he couldn't worry about that at the moment.
There were so many things he didn't know. Instead of thinking about irrelevant matters, it was better to consider the immediate situation.
Shen Nong Medicine God said he needed Melting Spirit Grass to consume the hundred-year spirit pill.
If that were the case, the trouble would be immense.
Melting Spirit Grass was a hundred times more precious than Heavenly Return Immortal Grass. It was said that only five plants grew in a thousand years, making it even rarer than the Peaches of Immortality in heaven.
Could he really obtain something like that?
Wu Tian couldn't help but feel a sense of disappointment and then sighed softly.
"It seems there really are no free lunches in this world. Melting Spirit Grass, how can I get my hands on you?"
Since he couldn't absorb the hundred-year spirit pill for now, Wu Tian had no choice but to put the matter aside and continue cultivating the "Heavenly Thunder Treasury."
To be honest, the "Heavenly Thunder Treasury" had brought him immense surprises.
He had initially thought that cultivating only to the second level wouldn't have any substantial effect.
But unexpectedly, when it came to actual combat, its power was so fierce.
Wu Tian couldn't even imagine what a shocking scene it would be when he cultivated to the eighth level and summoned a hundred thousand heavenly thunders to descend from the sky.
Wu Tian cultivated at home for three days. During these three days, he couldn't make any further progress, remaining stuck at the second level.
However, he wasn't anxious about it.
The path of a strong cultivator was never a smooth one.
But given enough time, he believed that with his own efforts, he would definitely achieve something.
Opening his eyes, it was almost noon.
Wu Tian suddenly heard a lot of commotion outside, so he walked to the window to take a look.
Wang Damao ran to his front yard and shouted loudly, "Wu Tian, what are you still doing up there? Aren't you eating?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian suddenly remembered that there was a meal to be had for lunch today.
Just yesterday, Wang Damao had announced something over the broadcast.
It was said that Yang Zhi, the son of Aunt Liu Da, had bought a house in a high-end residential area in the center of the county.
Aunt Liu was so happy that she invited the entire village to a meal.
Wu Tian had been cultivating for these past few days and hadn't eaten anything. He was also feeling a bit hungry.
So Wu Tian went downstairs and met up with Wang Damao.
Wang Damao and Wu Tian had a very good relationship now.
He patted Wu Tian on the shoulder and then smiled, "Wu Tian, what have you been up to lately?"
"Why haven't I seen you for so many days? Were you embroidering at home?"
