FVN Chapter 19 Heading to the Stone Palace
Chapter 19 Heading to the Stone Palace
With limited opportunities to transact, Qin Fang needs to proceed with caution!
The journey to the forbidden area is nearing its end, and the seven sects only have two days left to gather spiritual herbs in the crater.
This means that Qin Fang still has two more opportunities to make a deal.
If you use up your trading opportunities now, even if a better opportunity comes along later, you'll only be able to look on with envy.
"Now I have the advantage of a broader perspective..."
"The ability to sense the surrounding situation is not so urgent."
"While this beast is indeed extraordinary, trading its mutated sense of smell is still somewhat of a waste!"
"Besides~"
Whether I can benefit from the demonic beast bloodline remains to be seen!
Qin Fang resisted the urge to trade the bloodline of this spirit rat.
"Ink Dragon..."
"If it is this beast, perhaps it's worth a try?"
Qin Fang muttered to himself.
Within the Crimson Forbidden Land, that 'famous' black dragon is an extremely special existence.
The seven factions of Yue have controlled the forbidden area for countless years, at least several hundred years...
Despite the large number of Qi Refining stage cultivators who have entered, no one has ever heard of a level-two demonic beast appearing in the Crimson Forbidden Land!
Level 1 demonic beasts correspond to cultivators in the Qi Refining stage, and are divided into three levels: beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
Level 2 demonic beasts are comparable to Foundation Establishment stage cultivators!
The southern region is barren, especially in terms of monster resources.
However, there are still quite a few level-two or higher monsters in the outside world, so they are not too rare.
But in the Bloodstained Forbidden Land!
Due to the strange restrictions, almost all the monsters born within were suppressed to the level of first-level monsters, with very few exceptions.
The fact that the Ink Dragon could advance to the level of a second-tier demon beast shows just how powerful its bloodline is! Even among many exotic beasts, it should be considered one of the best.
Back then, the seven factions of the Yue Kingdom completely opened up and took control of the forbidden area.
They were overjoyed for a long time...
Aside from the rare medicinal herbs and the serendipitous encounters, the only remaining reason is the dazzling array of demonic beasts!
Many of these demonic beasts are legendary exotic beasts. If we could cultivate one or two of them, we could add a guardian spirit beast to our sect in less than a thousand years.
Therefore, the initial goal of the seven factions was almost entirely focused on hunting monsters, hoping to bring the most talented monsters out of the forbidden area.
Unfortunately……
For some unknown reason, the strange beasts in these forbidden areas are instantly annihilated once they get close to the ancient wind-attribute restriction!
Even if a Nascent Soul stage elder were to intervene, it would be impossible to stop it.
The seven factions racked their brains and even came up with many methods. By utilizing the resources of several sects, they finally managed to assemble an ancient incomplete formation and managed to extract a 'Wind Wolf' from it.
Unexpectedly, that high-level Wind Wolf, even though it had completely left the forbidden area, still let out a whimper and collapsed to the ground, dying instantly!
It was later confirmed that the cause was a strange and incomprehensible restriction within the Wind Wolf's body.
After that, the leaders of the seven factions gradually abandoned the idea of bringing out the strange beasts from the forbidden area...
Nowadays, no one would even consider harming the beasts from the forbidden area.
Because everyone has accepted the fact that even if you can temporarily subdue a forbidden beast, you cannot bring it out of the forbidden area alive.
But Qin Fang doesn't need that...
He doesn't need to bring the strange beasts out of the forbidden area alive! He just needs to kill them... and forcibly trade their bloodlines.
Even without killing the demon beast, Qin Fang could forcibly trade away its demon bloodline, only the spirit stones would be irretrievable.
Go outside, whether you try to use it yourself or use it directly on other monsters, it may have a miraculous effect.
"The only uncertainty is whether the Black Dragon's bloodline will reappear after its death..."
Qin Fang pondered.
It's true that each monster will refresh three tradable items, but... it's also possible that the monster bloodline option won't appear.
"Whatever! Anyway~"
"I had originally planned to... go to that mysterious stone palace."
Qin made a decision in his heart.
Qin Fang was already very interested in the treasure chest-shaped 'key'.
The appearance of this spirit rat led people to think of the black dragon.
Ever since entering the crater, Qin Fang has been keeping a close eye on information in this area.
The stone hall is quite conspicuous in the ring mountain!
Qin Fang had seen the stone palace from afar more than once... because it was so huge and conspicuous that unless the crater was shrouded in mist again, no cultivator who appeared nearby could ignore it.
but……
Out of caution, Qin Fang did not immediately set off as soon as he found the location of the stone hall.
There's only one reason! We can't beat them...
Although the black dragon died under the combined attack of Nangong Wan and Han Li, it does not mean that Qin Fang could kill it alone.
Even... because of her cultivation technique, Nangong Wan was somewhat outmatched when she first faced the Ink Dragon!
Not to mention Qin Fang.
His attempt to launch a sneak attack using the "shifting vision" tactic also failed.
Leaving aside the fact that demonic beasts usually have some unusual perception abilities, the fact that the Ink Dragon has already entered the early stage of Foundation Establishment makes it impossible for him to successfully launch a sneak attack.
Even if the Ink Dragon completely ignores Qin Fang and allows Qin Fang to attack its body, it probably still won't be able to break through its defenses!
Unless... unless a talisman is used to attack, it is impossible to inflict any damage on the Ink Dragon.
"If we add the few mature spiritual herbs inside the stone hall, then..."
"That's barely enough to exchange for two Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect!"
"Even if we continue searching, it will be difficult to find more mature medicinal herbs..."
"That's only because I was the fastest and used my ability to see around to avoid most of the monsters, allowing me to get ahead and collect quite a bit."
"If things had gone at a normal pace, I would probably have had three to five mature spiritual herbs by now, which would have been considered a great harvest."
Qin Fang tapped the spiritual herbs in his storage bag.
"Besides~"
"If we get too many spiritual herbs, Li Huayuan might take half of them away under the pretext of becoming his disciple after we leave."
"In the end, I didn't even get two Foundation Establishment Pills!"
Qin Fang also remembered that if he carried too many spiritual herbs after leaving the forbidden area, Li Huayuan would accept him as a "nominal disciple".
He had no intention of snatching the "opportunity" from Han Li, nor did he have any desire to become Li Huayuan's disciple.
"If that's the case..."
"Let's go take a trip!"
"key!"
"The bloodline of the Ink Dragon..."
"I have to go there myself for all of these."
"If~"
"If things don't work out... at the very least, we must obtain the special bloodline of the Ink Dragon! Even if we lose some spirit stones, it doesn't matter."
"Of course, it would be best to seize both benefits while we're at it, and maybe even get the spirit stones back as well!"
If the Ink Dragon dies, and I trade its bloodline, even if it costs me a large sum of spirit stones, I will eventually get equipment by the Ink Dragon's side.
You can just take it back when the time comes!
It was precisely because the Ink Dragon was destined to die that Qin Fang was able to wait until now.
After cleaning up, Qin Fang used a fireball spell to destroy the evidence, then identified the direction and headed straight for the location where the stone hall appeared in his memory.
