Silver Ring felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, anxiously awaiting her punishment. This knowing wait made her very restless.

She waited and waited with her eyes open!

Three days later, the excruciating pain still hadn't arrived.

Silver Ring was a little confused!

No punishment? Does that mean my poison is truly ineffective against humans?

Impossible. Even if humans are a mutated, intelligent race, they couldn't possibly have mutated to the point of being immune to all poisons.

Silver Ring hung its head, thought and thought, and finally flicked its tail—whatever!

Since that person didn't die, she wouldn't have to suffer. Without the aftereffects of suffering, she could immediately set off to the prison to reunite with her older brother.

Thinking of this, Silver Ring didn't care whether it was dark or light. It quickly climbed onto the blue monkey, took a blade of grass from under its neck and put it in its mouth. Then, with a flick of its tail, it commanded the blue monkey to set off.

For the past three days, Yin Huan has only been waiting for her punishment and hasn't eaten a single blade of grass, which has made her extremely hungry.

Once she came to her senses, the first thing she did was eat something to fill her stomach.

The blue monkey was very intelligent and perceptive. Perhaps because it had spent a lot of time with Silver Ring, it could execute every command Silver Ring gave it perfectly. With a flick of Silver Ring's tail, it ran off in the direction Silver Ring pointed.

Because a snake snatcher appeared halfway through the journey, Silver Ring, in her hasty escape, had already strayed far from the route along the riverbank.

After this incident, Silver Ring decided against continuing by water and opted for the land route. She was thankful she wasn't directionally challenged; although she didn't know the exact route, she remembered the direction the river had flowed. As long as she headed towards the rising sun, she was certain she would reach Penang.

The snake and the monkey embarked on their journey to prison once again.

Thanks to the blue monkeys that helped her get around, Silver Ring wasn't as "tired" as she was on her first trip to Penang.

She rested her head on her arm, wrapped her arms around the blue monkey's neck, and relaxed. She hadn't closed her eyes for three days in a row, and she was exhausted.

As the crimson glow gradually rose above the horizon and the purple aura appeared in the east, the sky gradually brightened. Just as the first rays of dawn shone on the horizon, an invisible gas, carried by the sunlight, struck Yin Huan and instantly entered her body.

The silver-rimmed eyes snapped open the instant the energy entered the body.

Just now, it seems like something got into my body.

Yin Huan didn't have time to figure out what it was. Her expression hardened, she cleared her mind, and stared intently into her body, just like she would when looking at her own snake gall.

Upon seeing this, Silver Ring was so horrified that she almost fell off the blue monkey's back.

What is this thing?

When did so many tiny tubes appear inside her body? And each of these tubes is connected to a snake gallbladder.

Not only that, but the snake gall bladder also glowed?

A few days ago, the snake gall bladder only had a layer of golden lines. Although it had a golden glow, it wasn't very noticeable. But today, the entire snake gall bladder turned 'colorful,' like a bright little light bulb, and it even had an extra layer of tortoise shell on the outside.

That's not all; the shell is also connected to a dense network of tiny tubes.

Silver Ring was utterly shocked. What had happened to her?

Could it be that I have cultivated the Golden Core?

That's not right either. According to my elder brother, although the Golden Elixir has a golden glow, its actual color is milky white. And when it's first cultivated, it's only the size of a mung bean.

But mine is not only golden in color, it's also huge... almost the size of a sparrow egg!

Silver Ring stared wide-eyed, completely bewildered.

What's with the little tubes outside the Golden Core? How come she didn't notice them before? And is that round thing inside her stomach really the Golden Core?

A series of question marks floated past Silver Ring's forehead. Just as she was wondering, a purple light the size of a thread suddenly shot out from her discolored snake gall, and like a nimble snake, it slipped into the series of tubes.

Silver Ring was shocked. Without saying a word, she focused her gaze and immediately shifted her eyes, following the purple light as it swam inside.

At the same time, wisps of invisible gas surged into her body the instant the silver ring's gaze shifted.

The blue monkey, which had been carrying the silver ring, squeaked twice, turned around, stared at its lively eyes, looked at its companion with its eyes closed at its neck, and then kicked off with both legs, running in the direction the silver ring had indicated.

The silver ring chased after the purple substance within her body, as if chasing away a villain, trying to expel this foreign thing. Unbeknownst to her, she had already chased through all eighty-one small tubes that had suddenly appeared inside her body.

After finishing its pursuit, the purple gas, as if looking down on the silver ring, swiftly disappeared back into her mutated snake gall.

Silver Ring was completely bewildered: ......

Unaware of the situation, Silver Ring had no idea what changes her chase had triggered.

Although she had recently listened to Luo Mang's advice and tried to cultivate by basking in the sun and moon, unfortunately, she could not perceive the essence of the sun and moon that Luo Mang mentioned, nor could she unconsciously convert the essence of the sun and moon she absorbed into demonic energy.

Apart from a slight change in the Golden Core, everything else remains stagnant.

Silver Ring's path of cultivation is different from that of ordinary people. No one can help her; she can only explore it on her own.

Logically speaking, given Yin Huan's ignorance and lack of understanding, it would take her at least several hundred years to truly embark on the path of cultivation. However, by sheer coincidence, three days ago, the snake keeper who seemed to want to capture her unknowingly lent her a helping hand.

That day, when the other party's power surged and their expression became unfocused, she received a trace of the snake keeper's spiritual power. That spiritual power was merely an unconscious act by the snake keeper to protect her mind.
