Back when Xun Wei revealed the fact that she possessed a purple beast core, Xiao Hei gave them a brief explanation about what the different colours meant.

Putting it into his hands, Xiao Fang could feel the tremendous amount of Qi being stored in the core. He nearly drooled at the thought of cultivating such a cultivation treasure.

Since the Abnormal Beast was dead, the other tiered beasts were in disarray. Some continued to attack, while the others began to flee. Seeing this, Xiao Fang stored the glowing red beast core in his spatial ring, then with the Abnormal Cannibal Beast's help, he hunted the remaining tiered beasts down.

When he was done, he extracted their cores, and filled his high-grade spirit pendants. Satisfied with what he had, he planned to leave. However, he stopped when he noticed the Abnormal Cannibal Beast stabbing, then carrying the corpse of the Abnormal Squid Beast with it.

Xiao Fang was wondering whether it was planning to eat it. However, considering how poisonous its skin was, he had his doubts. What the Cannibal Abnormal Beast wanted to do with the Squid's body was none of his concern, so he eventually stopped thinking about it.

...

A few minutes later, Xiao Fang met up with Xiao Hei as he exited the 7th floor of the Ancestral Training Grounds.

Xiao Hei had been laying flat on the ground, but quickly sat up when she heard someone coming. She was glad to see that it was someone she recognized.

”Fang, you're back. Are you done already?” She asked.

Sitting with her legs spread apart, it seemed to Xiao Fang that she had been doing snow-angels without the snow on the ground to pass the time.

”Mn, I was just visiting a friend,” Xiao Fang replied as he put his blindfold on and walked away.

”A friend? What friend?” Xiao Hei said as she stood up and followed him through the illusory wall.

When Xiao Fang and Xiao Hei finally arrived back at the guild house, he took her to his room then showed her what he obtained from his trip.

Xiao Fang flicked his wrist, then a large glowing red orb appeared on his hands. Xiao Hei immediately knew what it was, so her eyes widened in disbelief.

”Ah! Where did you get that!?”

”I got it from another abnormal beast,” he answered.

Although red beast cores were only considered rare where she was from, Xiao Hei never expected him to find one in a country like this. Also Xiao Fang's nonchalance made it seem as if he only stumbled upon it by chance, and didn't fully understand how great of a fortuitous encounter this was.

”Do you know how amazing this is?” She said with sparkling eyes.

”I was actually hoping you could fill me in. You didn't really say much about it the last time we were on the topic.”

The reason why Xiao Hei didn't Xiao say much about it in the past was because she didn't think he'd find one here.

”As you know, beast cores are divided into 5 different ranks: Ordinary (Black), Saint (Blue), Demon (Purple), Legendary (Red), and Celestial (Gold). Each of which could be cultivated to increase one's spirit cultivation realm or made into a powerful weapon. Furthermore, anything above the Ordinary rank could also give additional benefits.”

Saint (Blue): Body Enhancement.

- Strength, Agility, Defense, attack speed, etc.
