Closed Cultivation

After making sure that there was nothing in the cave once more, and even going so far as to plunge into the pond once more to look if there was any strong beast in there, Alex finally sat at the edge of the cave to cultivate.

The Qi in the room was as low as not much had been able to permeate through the mountain and enter here.

Still, that didn't really matter to Alex all that much. He had never really needed Qi to breakthrough.

He then reached into his pocket and brought out the silvery-white beast core that was tainted a little red with the blood of the snake.

Alex wondered why he kept this core and not another one. Was it because he had been thinking of eating this for so long that he somehow didn't want to let go of it? 

He wondered if he could keep the other beast cores when he traveled through the ground, but more than likely the same scenario would have happened again.
