Then, Zhang Yuan took out the law enforcement token that Liu Minchun had given him and examined it.
The ancient peach wood token, about the size of a palm, is engraved with mysterious runes. Currently, this law enforcement token only has functions for identification, basic communication, and recording merit points.
Zhang Yuan played with it for a while, then threw it into his Qiankun bag and took out the tiger demon's corpse.
After finding the demon core in the tiger demon's body, he took some useful parts from the tiger demon's body and then threw the remaining tiger demon corpse into the alchemy furnace to refine it with true fire!
Although the tiger demon was completely dead, Zhang Yuan still felt a chill run down his spine looking at its corpse, so he wanted to refine the body.
Inside the alchemy furnace, the true fire burned for a quarter of an hour, turning the tiger demon's corpse into ashes.
Before putting the alchemy furnace into his Qiankun bag, Zhang Yuan opened the furnace and found a piece of golden foil left inside!
Zhang Yuan took out the gold foil and examined it carefully.
The gold leaf is about half the size of an A4 sheet of paper, and it contains many small but lifelike pictures, ten horizontally and ten vertically. There are a total of 100 pictures on the small gold leaf!
It seems to describe a very special palm technique. In addition, the picture also shows some diagrams of meridian circulation.
"Could it be a cultivation technique practiced by a tiger demon?"
Zhang Yuan pondered this in his heart.
The unexpected gain made him quite excited.
The tiger demon's palm technique was incredibly profound. At that time, Zhang Yuan took the Burst Pill and briefly reached the early stage of the Golden Core realm, but he still couldn't withstand a single palm strike from the tiger demon, who was at the same level. Moreover, without using any magic, the tiger demon, who was at the early stage of the Demon General realm, could fight Liu Minchun, who was at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, to a draw in close combat!
This shows that the tiger demon's palm techniques and movement skills are formidable.
Overwhelmed with excitement, Zhang Yuan took a deep breath to calm himself down.
First, he cannot yet confirm which palm technique this is used by the tiger demon. Second, even if it is, whether human cultivators can cultivate it is still a question.
On the other side of the gold foil, a map is engraved, but the map looks unremarkable.
Zhang Yuan studied the map for a long time but couldn't figure it out. So he threw the gold foil into his Qiankun bag and prepared to go to class.
...
After that, life returned to its usual peaceful state!
Zhang Yuan practices the Vajra Longevity Exercise, Sleeping Exercise, and Spirit Nourishing Technique every day. From time to time, he reads and studies the alchemy notes on the refining methods of pills such as Body Tempering Pill, Golden Pill, and Soul Pill.
Because Zhang Yuan's cultivation level had not yet reached the Golden Core realm, his true qi was not yet able to drive the corresponding level of flames to refine the Body Tempering Pill and the Golden Core Pill, but this did not prevent Zhang Yuan from familiarizing himself with the refining method.
In addition, Zhang Yuan would also study the martial arts techniques on the gold foil left behind by the tiger demon in his spare time.
Zhang Yuan has no immediate plans to hand over the gold leaf to the Tongcheng law enforcement team.
He decided to figure it out himself first; if it turned out to be some powerful technique, he would make a fortune.

In the blink of an eye, a week has passed.
Zhang Yuan broke through to the middle stage of the Meridian Opening Realm after taking the Meridian Opening Pill last time, and now the medicinal power of the Meridian Opening Pill has been completely refined.
Zhang Yuan began to think about refining the Meridian Opening Pill to accelerate his cultivation.
After all, the effect of one Meridian Opening Pill is roughly equivalent to nearly a year of hard cultivation. Without the Meridian Opening Pill, at Zhang Yuan's current cultivation speed, it would take about a year to break through from the early stage of the Meridian Opening Realm to the middle stage, and then another year to break through to the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm.
As for breaking through to the Golden Core realm, Zhang Yuan no longer dared to think about it.
The further you progress in cultivation, the more difficult it becomes to advance your cultivation level!
Inside the Qiankun Bag, there was also a python demon's core, enough to refine a Meridian Opening Pill from a demon general at the initial stage!
The four-hundred-year-old ginseng we found last time has been completely used up, after deducting the losses caused by the failed alchemy attempt.
Upon seeing the python demon's snake core, Zhang Yuan was reminded of the dragon demon king's kill order.
Could there be any connection between the tiger demon's assassination and the python demon's death?
They are all demons!
This was the only possibility Zhang Yuan could think of that was related to the Demon King.
But since the tiger demon, bull demon, and dog demon were all dead, Zhang Yuan couldn't ask them.
This matter can only be put on hold for the time being.
In addition, another batch of Burst Pills needs to be refined!
The death of the tiger demon does not mean that the Demon King's kill order has been lifted. The Flood Dragon Demon King is a pain in Zhang Yuan's heart!
Therefore, the initial burst pill must be refined to prevent the emergence of a demon general-level expert like the Tiger Demon. With the burst pill, at least he can hold out for a while and wait for Captain Liu Mingchun to come to the rescue.
Otherwise, if they encounter a demon general in the Demon Commander Realm again, they will only face certain death.
Without considering the cost, if he refines three more Meridian Opening Pills, he might be able to break through to the Golden Core realm within half a year! At that time, with the power boost from the Burst Pill, he will no longer be a threat to demons in the mid-Golden Core and mid-Demon General realms.
At least if he can't win, he can escape, unless the Flood Dragon Demon King sends two or three Demon General level experts to besiege him!
However, this possibility for Zhang Yuanjue is unlikely.
The demon race's power lies deep in the mountains. The sudden appearance of two or three demon generals in the city will surely attract the attention of law enforcement!
To refine the Meridian Opening Pill, you need a demon core of a demon general realm, or a 300-year-old ginseng, or Crimson Mystic Crystal.
Zhang Yuan had a demon core from a demon tiger, but using a demon core from a demon general realm to refine a meridian-opening pill was a waste of talent!
Zhang Yuan wanted to keep it to refine the Golden Elixir in the future.
However, the python demon's snake core can be used to refine a Meridian Opening Pill.
After some deliberation, Zhang Yuan decided to first refine a Meridian Opening Pill to break through to the Later Meridian Opening Realm as soon as possible, and then find a way to refine more Meridian Opening Pills to advance to the Golden Core Realm!
In addition, I roughly calculated last time that it would cost around 80,000 to refine one basic burst pill using various medicinal materials.
Zhang Yuan still has over 30,000 yuan in his account!
We're short fifty or sixty thousand!
That's really expensive!
After careful consideration, Zhang Yuan formulated his next plan and direction for his efforts!

Vast, boundless mountains.
Inside the mansion of the Flood Dragon Demon King, the lights were on.
The Flood Dragon Demon King Ao Zhen stood in the hall with his hands behind his back, his head adorned with prominent blue horns. He wore a python robe.
A short while later, a giant black eagle flew in from outside the mansion.
A giant black eagle flew into the gate of the Dragon King's mansion and transformed into a monster that was half human and half eagle.
"Lord Dragon King!"
The half-human, half-eagle demon cupped his hands and respectfully addressed the dragon king Ao Zhen, who stood with his hands behind his back.
"Commander Eagle, go to Tongcheng City and investigate the situation of that ruin!"
The Flood Dragon Demon King Ao Zhen slowly turned around.
His cultivation has reached the late stage of the Demon King realm, and even among the ten Demon Kings in this vast mountain, his strength can be ranked among the top three!
They were only half a step away from becoming the Demon Emperor.
"Yes, sir!"
The eagle leader bent down, about to flap its wings and take off, but was stopped by Ao Zhen.
"Wait a minute, while you're in Tongcheng, investigate the cause of the Tiger Demon Commander's death!"
"The Tiger Demon Commander is dead?"
The Eagle Commander clicked his tongue slightly.
Go!
"Yes, Demon King. Your subordinate will go to Tongcheng City to investigate immediately."
After the Eagle Commander finished speaking, he flapped his wings and transformed back into a giant eagle with a body length of over four meters.
With a clear eagle's cry, the giant eagle soared into the sky and quickly disappeared into the vast mountains.
