Ordinary person: What to do with unused treasures? (On Zhuanzhuan)

Chapter 115 The White Snake of the Spring, Sleepy

Back in the cave.

Qin Fang then threw himself into his work, having accumulated quite a few level five and six demon cores over the years.

Even including the spiritual herbs they've "fleeced" from Han Li over the years, it still seems a bit insufficient.

Fortunately, he had made preparations in advance. Over the years of participating in auctions, he had purchased many suitable aged medicinal herbs, which were now proving useful.

As for the issue of bestowing the [Chiwen] bloodline, Qin Fang wasn't in a hurry.

Opening the fourth mysterious aperture requires a certain amount of time to refine; it cannot be practiced immediately.

Qin Fang had already prepared the recipient!

In the beast chamber next to the quiet room, there was a huge white snake, fifty or sixty feet long, which was the target of Qin Fang's four acupoints.

This snake was an unusual white snake that they had obtained by chance when they went to sea with Nangong Wan. When they first got it, it was only at the level of a second-level demon beast.

Qin Fang originally thought that this snake seemed to have quite good aptitude. In addition, under the circumstances at the time, the materials from a level two demon beast would not bring him much profit. So he brought the white snake back to Tianxing City and raised it in the beast room along with the Blood Jade Spider.

Besides the fact that their qualifications seem good, there is another reason that is not really a reason!

That is to say, this white snake is of exceptional quality! Even Qin Fang, who was used to seeing demonic beasts, had to admit that this white snake was extremely beautiful.

However, Qin Fangmeng still managed to cultivate his natural talent as a snake. Even without consuming much of his resources, he slowly raised his cultivation to the level of a fourth-order demon beast in the past few years.

This speed—it's almost a fraction faster than the Blood Jade Spider.

It's important to understand! Even though Qin Fang has intentionally focused his cultivation resources on the Blood Jade Spiders, the two Blood Jade Spiders are only at the peak of the third rank, far inferior to the White Snake.

Therefore, when Qin Fang was considering bestowing the bloodline upon the [Chiwen], he almost immediately thought of this white snake, as white as jade.

Of course, Qin Fang was only trying his luck.

The White Snake is not a dragon after all. Even if it is given a branch of the bloodline of a true dragon, it will eventually have to go through the pain of transforming into a dragon, just like Little Yellow did back then!

Whether it can successfully transform into a dragon is still an unknown.

but----

It doesn't matter if we fail. Qin Da can just go out to sea again and capture another spirit dragon! At most, it's just a waste of time, nothing serious.

— Half a month later.

Qin Fang began to go into seclusion to refine pills suitable for his cultivation.

Now that he has advanced to the early stage of Core Formation, with the help of the Pill Fire, his pill refining speed has become even faster!

As the number of pills refined over the years has increased, the probability of successful pill formation has also been rising steadily.

Even now, Qin Fang wouldn't dare call himself a master alchemist, but he certainly has more experience in pill refining than the average Core Formation cultivator.

There's no way around it. Apart from Han Li, other Core Formation cultivators are lucky if they can refine one or two batches of pills a year. Where would they get the chance to accumulate pill-refining experience?

Even Nascent Soul stage experts probably don't have as much experience as Qin Fang in refining certain specific pills.

—This pill took a full seven or eight months to refine, which is enough to show the number of demon cores on Qin Fang's body.

Before he even formed his core, Qin Fang had already obtained nearly a hundred level-five demon cores! Even though most of them were later used up on breaking through the bottleneck of core formation, he still had thirty or forty level-five demon cores left.

After forming his core and refining his natal magic weapon, Qin Fang went to sea for several more years.

This time, Qin Fang was even more unrestrained. Relying on the sharpness of his magic weapon and the fact that there was no one else around, even though he didn't stay in the waters near Silver Shark Island for as long as last time, the number of demon cores he obtained far exceeded the previous time.

There were over a hundred demon cores, with level six demon cores making up the majority of them.

You could say that—

In the next few hundred years, even if the demon race wanted to cause trouble near Silver Shark Island, it would probably be difficult to gather enough high-level demon beasts to launch a beast tide.

For this very reason, it is likely that for a long time to come, there will be few monsters near Silver Shark Island that can break through to the Transformation stage.

Qin Fang's hunting and killing is too severe! Even if there are countless monsters in the outer sea, they cannot withstand his large-scale hunting and killing.

Even if Qin Fang still plans to go out to sea to hunt demons later, he probably won't choose to go to Silver Shark Island.

There's no way around it~ Even with the help of his ability to change his perspective, he still needs a level 5 or 6 monster to be present!

In the nearly one hundred years that followed, due to Qin Fang's appearance, a very strange phenomenon gradually appeared in the mouths of cultivators in the Chaotic Star Sea about Silver Shark Island! That is, most of the cultivators who went to Silver Shark Island would eventually return empty-handed.

Those who were luckier wandered the waters near Silver Shark Island for several years without ever encountering a single monster of level five or higher.

Those who were less fortunate encountered attacks from level-seven demonic beasts in the waters off Silver Shark Island, and countless cultivators perished at sea.

Thus, word spread, giving Silver Shark Island the peculiar nickname of the Sea of ​​Demons.

However, everything has two sides, a bad side and a good side. At least in the eyes of low-level cultivators below the Core Formation stage, Silver Shark Island has become quite different.

Most of them dare not hunt down level 5 demonic beasts; they only go out to sea for materials from demonic beasts at the Foundation Establishment stage.

The rarity of fifth and sixth-tier demonic beasts was an excellent thing for these low-level cultivators! In the following hundred years, a large number of low-level cultivators began to flock to Silver Shark Island! Silver Shark Island became the first choice for hunting demonic beasts at sea almost without exception.

This has resulted in the largest group of cultivators constantly appearing in the waters near Silver Shark Island.

This led to an outcome that Qin Fang had not anticipated!

Years later, three Foundation Establishment cultivators explored the distant seas of Silver Shark Island together and unexpectedly discovered a very strange giant island, where they found information about a vein of spirit stones.

Later—that island was called: Biling Island.

Of course, all of this is just a story for later. Nothing has happened yet, and Qin Fang, the instigator, is completely unaware of it, as he is simply immersed in alchemy and cannot extricate himself from it.

A year later, everything was ready.

After feeding the white snake a few pills, Qin Fang activated the restrictions on the beast chamber.

As the white snake's aura grew stronger, he bestowed upon it a blood mist, visible only to himself and representing the [Chiwen] bloodline.

sizzle~

Then came the painful screams and rolling sounds, with the constant bleeding coming from the beast chamber. If it weren't for the restrictions covering it, cultivators within dozens of miles would probably have heard these miserable cries.

Half a month later, Qin Fang walked out of the beast chamber with a look of half joy and half doubt on his face.

On Qin Fang's right arm, which had reappeared, a silver-white snake was now coiled, emanating a strange cylindrical halo.

Two years later, Qin Fang fully activated all the restrictions in the secluded meditation room.

He looked like he was about to go into seclusion for a life-or-death retreat.

Before going into seclusion, Qin Fang only sent a message to a few acquaintances informing them that he was preparing for seclusion and cultivation, and did nothing else.

-

After making all the necessary preparations, Qin Fang began his secluded cultivation.

————In the quiet room.

Qin Fang sat relaxed on the futon, his chest rising and falling slightly.

Between his teeth, faint, low snores could be heard.

Suddenly, the snoring stopped abruptly.

After another three or five breaths, Qin Fang slowly opened his eyes, his eyes flashing with an alarming brightness.

"Could opening this fourth acupoint, 'Yongquan,' really have these side effects?"

"but----"

"The acupoint is clearly located in the very center of the sole of my foot, so why does it make me so sleepy?!"

Qin Fang was very puzzled.

"The cultivation of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique usually results in some backlash after a period of time following the opening of the Mysterious Aperture."

Only when the spiritual aperture is completely suppressed by the dragon will this backlash gradually subside.

Now, the fourth acupoint of Zhenmai, which corresponds to the early stage of Core Formation, is causing him to inexplicably experience drowsiness after it is opened.

"I must master the fourth level of the technique as soon as possible!"

"I never imagined that this fourth acupoint would hold such a bizarre danger—"

Qin Fang's face showed no sign of relaxation; in fact, it was extremely solemn.

Even—there seemed to be a hint of lingering fear in their eyes?!

On the surface, the backlash Qin Fang is currently experiencing seems to be the mildest he has ever experienced since he began cultivating the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique.

It's just that he's sleepy; he can get better with more sleep! He has a long enough lifespan now, so it doesn't matter if he wastes some time.

but!

This matter is not as simple as it appears on the surface.

What was Qin Fang doing in the quiet room? He was there to cultivate and improve his cultivation level, of course!

But he inexplicably fell asleep during his cultivation.

And that's not all. This strange drowsiness almost made him stop breathing, completely forgetting everything in the world, and he fell into a deep sleep from which he never woke up!

If he hadn't cultivated two levels of the Great Evolution Technique, he wouldn't have been awakened by his spiritual sense just as he was about to fall into danger.

If it were an ordinary cultivator, even if they weren't completely affected, they would probably have to pay a huge price to wake up.

—One year later.

Qin Fang's excessive sleepiness became more and more obvious; he used to only fall asleep unintentionally once every one or two months.

However, the symptoms continued to worsen, and later, he would even fall asleep unexpectedly three or four times a month.

Even now~

"I can't take it anymore!"

"If this continues, even with the Great Evolution Technique's blessing, my soul is far stronger than other early-stage Core Formation cultivators—"

"I'm afraid they won't be able to hold on!"

"Moreover, this kind of silent torment is what makes me suffer the most."

"We can't wait any longer!"

Even if it's a half-cooked rice, I have no choice but to eat it now!

Qin Fang's face was extremely pale; he had inexplicably fallen asleep again earlier.

And it has only been three or four days since I last fell asleep.

If this continues, he might never wake up again and "die in his sleep."

With a grab of his five fingers, he drew the still-sleeping silver dragon from the side.

This beast was the white snake that had fused with the bloodline of the [Chiwen]. Although it ultimately lived up to Qin Fang's expectations and carried on the bloodline.

However, after the fusion, it fell into a deep sleep, and even now, so much time has passed, there is still no sign of it waking up.

If Qin Fang hadn't investigated it multiple times, and if its aura hadn't seemed perfectly normal—Qin Fang would probably have thought the white dragon was already dead.

"You and I, master and servant~"

"What a tragic couple!"

"You are fast asleep—and I am also plagued by inexplicable drowsiness."

"Sigh~"

Qin Fang sighed.

It's best to wait until the spirit beast awakens and assists in cultivating the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique.

But he has no other choice now! He falls into a deep sleep from time to time, so going out to sea to search for the dragon bloodline and the spirit dragon is obviously no longer appropriate.

"It's simply that the four dragons' cultivation levels became unbalanced, which led to my involvement—"

"It couldn't get any worse than this dangerous situation, could it?!"

Qin Fang exhaled a breath of turbid air, and without any further hesitation, began to activate the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique.

At the same time, the two balls of spiritual light on the soles of Qin Fang's feet, which were sitting cross-legged, began to shine brighter.

Six months later.

The cultivators near the sacred mountain of Tianxing City all heard a tremendous dragon roar at the same time, drawing everyone's attention towards the direction of the sacred mountain, but ultimately they found nothing.
