Chapter 111: Chapter 105: Cauldron and Coffin (Please Subscribe)

"Yet another Second Rank Demon Beast slain..."

In the dense forest, all around was silence.

The demonic aura of the Second Rank Demon Beast, along with its dying scream, was enough to clear the nearby area.

However, such fluctuations were clearly not enough to attract the attention of a Third Rank Demon Beast.

Fang Xing stood atop the corpse of the Four-Armed Vajra Ape, using its flame-like brilliant golden fur to wipe the blood off his sword.

Then, he began to dissect the beast.

"I hope my guess is right... But even if I’m wrong, to obtain the materials of a Second Rank Demon Beast and gain the experience of a fight to the death is no loss..."

Skilled, he slit open the beast’s belly and directly cut open a huge stomach pouch.

A pungent stench hit his nose; fortuitously, Fang Xing had already manipulated his Nano Protective Suit to form a gas mask.

Now, as he looked inside the stomach pouch, he found many un-digested ores.

These ores glowed with spiritual light, some as large as a palm, others small like a longan fruit, all appearing quite extraordinary.

"These should all be Second Rank ores... They could be sold for quite a few Spirit Stones. So this Demon Monkey liked to consume ores to fortify its physique? No wonder its defenses were so strong!"

Fang Xing searched further, discovering some undigested Demon Beast flesh, which gave him pause for thought:

"The death of a Jiedan cultivator is like the fall of a whale... Their physical bodies are rich in Spiritual Energy, even a drop of their blood is so... Therefore, it would definitely attract nearby Demon Beasts to compete for it."

"Then these Demon Beasts would either advance or be eaten by other, more powerful Demon Beasts..."

"There’s only this Second Rank Demon Ape left in the vicinity; it must be akin to a ’Gu King,’ possessing all the good stuff..."

He searched a bit more and then his eyes brightened.

A peculiarly shaped golden Phoenix Hairpin fell into Fang Xing’s hands.

Though it was only a small hairpin, it was exceptionally heavy, with the phoenix eyes on it blood-red and lifelike, as if about to take flight.

"This sensation is even more amazing than any Spiritual Artifact... Worthy of being a Jiedan cultivator’s Magic Treasure! Remaining so polished and new within the stomach of a beast capable of digesting Second Rank ores..."

Fang Xing guessed that perhaps it would take decades or even a century for this Phoenix Hairpin to be gradually digested by the Demon Ape, thereby elevating its defenses further.

By then, it might not be something he could breach.

’No, Martial Arts is not the same as the Immortal Path, progress is swift... A hundred years later, would I even care about a mere Demon Beast? Even if it had quasi-Third Rank or even Third Rank Body Refinement?’

He fiddled with the Magic Treasure Phoenix Hairpin again, probing it with his Spiritual Power.

Alas... it was like a clay ox entering the sea.

In the end, he could only reluctantly admit that while valuable, the item only had the value of the materials it was made of. He prepared to put it in his storage bag and then continue dissecting the Second Rank Demon Beast.

As for the storage bag of that Jiedan cultivator? Clearly, it was not here.

There was a good chance that it was swallowed by that Third Rank Flood Dragon.

A Third Rank Demon Beast, comparable to a Jiedan true person!

Even more terrifying was the Third Rank Flood Dragon, definitely having a noble lineage, at least equivalent to a True Core, or even a Golden Core cultivator!

Definitely not something the current Fang Xing could provoke.

"Hm?"

He was just introducing his Spiritual Power into the storage bag, when his expression suddenly changed!

He saw that the ’Ten Thousand Laws Token’ inside the storage bag began to flicker with a micro-light, and even... it was becoming stronger!

"Impossible!"

Fang Xing’s complexion changed slightly, "The distance from the last maximum range... is still very far! Could it be... the sensing range of this thing is constantly changing?"

"Or... is the item it’s sensing nearby? Did those three Jiedan bring it out from the Secret Realm?"

His expression grave, he immediately started reviewing:

’If this Ten Thousand Laws Token is currently sensing something from the Secret Realm, the likelihood that it was brought out is high... But why would it be nearby?’

’Unless... the female Jiedan cultivator, knowing she was bound to die, cast it away with hidden methods before her death, not wanting to benefit the Flood Dragon and the Jiedan that ambushed her? Impressive... that even surveillance failed to spot her slight movement...’

’Of course, it’s also possible that the Ten Thousand Laws Token is broken, or its sensing range has changed... This is easy to test, just by moving towards the direction of Five Scorpion Valley... and observing its reaction.’

Setting variables and experiments were things every Blue Star student knew.

Think and act upon it!

Fang Xing took a step, running towards Five Scorpion Valley while monitoring the Ten Thousand Laws Token within the storage bag.

Soon, the light on the token began to grow faint...

He stopped, "Good... It seems these three Jiedan real persons do have some skills, actually managing to bring out an important treasure..."

"But... is this treasure really fated to be mine? Can I truly be the fisherman?"

"Even if I find it, a cultivator’s treasure, will it be of use to me?"

"To what extent am I willing to risk for this unknown treasure?"

Fang Xing continually questioned his heart, then proceeded to make plans...

...

Moments later.

A drone in the shape of a small bird flew out of the jungle, a ’Ten Thousand Laws Token’ tied to its claw.

Fang Xing held a suitcase, his eyes nearly unblinking as he stared at the monitor screen.

"To the left... it’s shifted... the light is growing stronger... right direction..."

After a few minutes.

The mimetic bird stopped on the branch of an unremarkable ancient tree, the Ten Thousand Laws Token in its claw enveloped by a light blob.

The glow was so thick and abnormal that the Mysterious Iron Token seemed to have countless runes flowing densely over it.

Thunk, thunk!

Tap, tap!

Like a woodpecker, the simulated drone used its sharp beak to peck open the bark and then carried out a bronze ring.

This bronze ring seemed like a simple ring, with a few ancient scratches on it.

The bird waited for a moment, but the bronze ring displayed no other abnormalities.

Half an hour later, with the bronze ring firmly in its grasp, the drone soared into the sky.

...

In a wilderness.

Fang Xing watched the drone fall from the sky, an odd expression on his face.

"A ring?"

"Judging by its shape... could it be another magical treasure?"

Something that even a Jiedan Cultivator carefully concealed was obviously not of mortal grade.

There was a very good chance that it was a rare treasure from the Secret Realm!

"There seems to be no danger..."

Fang Xing, wearing silver gloves, grabbed the bronze ring.

On the ring, those few simple inscriptions remained motionless.

Beside him, the All Techniques Token still shone lustrously, appearing quite extraordinary.

"It seems that the All Techniques Token is not only a passage order for the Secret Realm... it also correlates with this ring? Eh? What is this feeling?"

A thought crossed Fang Xing’s mind as his Spiritual Power spread out and landed on the bronze ring.

A hazy space immediately appeared, at least ten cubic meters in size!

"It really is a Storage Magic Device!"

"And the spiritual imprint is so strong... That Jiedan female cultivator has long been dead, yet it’s still this powerful?"

"Fortunately, I am not the same person I was before."

Around Fang Xing, dragon shapes faintly emerged, accompanied by the sounds of tiger roars and the Dragon Elephant Realm, carrying a martial intent.

The Dragon Intent Realm, Subduing Tiger Realm, Dragon Elephant Realm, Military Killing Fist!

With the force of four major realms, along with his Spiritual Power, he instantly poured into the bronze ring.

Several hours later, the spiritual imprint inside the ring finally collapsed, revealing all the space within to Fang Xing!

"Such a large space!"

With his Spiritual Power sweeping through, Fang Xing couldn’t help but exclaim.

This bronze storage ring had a large internal space.

The capacity of his two storage bags were about one cubic meter each.

But this storage ring was ten cubic meters!

Ten times the space, and the price would not just be tenfold so simple, but more like a hundredfold, a thousandfold!

What surprised him, however, was that inside the bronze ring there were no Spirit Stones, Elixirs, or Magic Treasures...

The inside was empty, with only two items!

With a thought from Fang Xing, bang, bang!

A White Jade Coffin appeared out of nowhere, landing heavily on the ground.

The coffin exuded a chill and seemed quite heavy.

Next to the coffin was a three-legged, two-eared Bronze Tripod.

This tripod was ancient in design, with elaborate inscriptions that were mostly indistinct.

"There are only a coffin and a cauldron?"

He approached for a closer look and found that the coffin had no lid; inside lay a person.

The person was wearing an ancient dark robe and seemed rather handsome, though the features were hard to discern because a Talisman was pasted on their forehead, covering most of their face!

This Talisman was half a foot long and three inches wide, entirely black except for the cinnabar inscriptions drawn with red Talisman brush that shone with a faint light.

The lines were fine and intricate, even more complex and delicate than Fang Xing’s collected Second Rank ’Bing Fire Divine Thunder Talisman’, and the aura was even more profound and terrifying, akin to a vast sea.

"Could it be... a Third Rank Talisman? With this pasted on the forehead, it gives a bad feeling... It’s not a corpse refining, is it?"

"Is this Talisman a Third Rank ’Corpse Suppressing Talisman’ used to suppress a Third Rank Corpse Demon?"

Whether it was an illusion or not, Fang Xing’s Spiritual Power swept across the corpse and felt that the person seemed probably not very strong.

"Hehe..."

He extended his hand as if to peel off the Talisman, but then withdrew it.

"What kind of judgment do I have? What kind of judgment does a Jiedan Cultivator have?"

"Would I be foolish enough to remove something that even a Jiedan Cultivator handled with care and sealed with a Talisman..."

Fang Xing, who had seen too many ghost movies in his previous life, was speechless toward protagonists who were always warned yet still recklessly sought death.

Heed advice, and you’ll have enough to eat.

Until he was able to dominate in this world, it would be wise to engage in fewer risky ventures.

Thus, Fang Xing did not bother with the White Jade Coffin, instead turning his attention to the Bronze Tripod.

The Bronze Tripod was half the height of a person, with sturdy legs and simple ears, blurry inscriptions on its surface, and an air of ancient vicissitudes.

"In the Cultivation World, because towers, tripods, mirrors, and similar magic artifacts are difficult to make, they are often fine pieces of their kind once they appear, and they might even include some strange Magic Skills and abilities..."

Fang Xing was no novice in cultivation; he knew this knowledge well.

At this moment, as he observed the tripod closely, he soon made another discovery: "This tripod... could it possibly be the source of the All Techniques Token’s reaction?"
