Chapter 95 Silver Shark Island
Half an hour later.
Qin Fang walked out of a shop while Nangong Wan looked on with a puzzled expression.
He had already purchased several large-capacity storage bags from three or four different stores.
Qin Fang made no attempt to explain, focusing solely on purchasing storage bags. Had he not wanted to attract too much attention, he would have even considered exchanging all his spirit stones for storage bags.
However, since I had just traded the Dragon Roar Body, I didn't have many spirit stones left.
For this reason, Qin Fang even sold several spiritual herbs he had obtained from Han Li in order to buy seven or eight large-capacity storage bags.
With the storage bag I already had, that should be enough!
The remaining spirit stones are needed to pay for the Star Palace teleportation fee—spending more spirit stones wouldn't even cover the travel expenses.
"Why did you buy so many storage bags?"
"Don't tell me you're planning to use these storage bags to go to the open sea to collect monster materials, are you? —"
Nangong Wan finally couldn't hold back anymore.
Nangong Wan already knew about Qin Fang's secrets on this trip. Qin Fang couldn't possibly not tell Nangong Wan, after all, he still hoped that Nangong Wan's combat power could help him hunt down enough demonic beasts.
Although Qin Fang now possesses formations such as the Reversed Five Elements Formation, as well as several other formations obtained from Xin Ruyin, they are barely sufficient to deal with level-five demonic beasts in the outer sea.
With his late-stage Foundation Establishment strength, the assistance of a peak Foundation Establishment python, and a large number of puppets that had never been used, combined with the power of the formation, he could eventually wear down a level-five demon beast to death by slowly grinding it down.
Even a level 5 demon beast—theoretically equivalent to a cultivator in the early stage of Core Formation—has little intelligence, so once it falls into a formation trap, it has no chance of escaping.
This is the biggest weakness of demonic beasts; demonic beasts that have not reached the Transformation stage are no match for human cultivators of the same level.
This isn't due to poor combat strength, but simply because of low intelligence, which prevents them from unleashing their full potential.
Unlike human cultivators, who not only have various magical artifacts to aid them, but also strange and wonderful spells and formations with various effects, the demonic beasts that fight only on instinct are no match for these cultivators.
Moreover, human cultivators usually travel in groups, which only makes things worse for the demon beasts.
Of course! Once a demon beast successfully transforms into human form and becomes an existence comparable to the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, that is, an eighth-level great demon, the situation will be reversed!
Human cultivators in the early stages of the Nascent Soul realm are generally no match for level eight demonic beasts.
"It's settled then, the demon core will be split in half!"
"You could also buy a few storage bags —"
"Don't blame me if you can't bring back the monster materials!"
Qin Fang didn't offer any explanation, but simply emphasized that the demon core should be split in half.
"Hmph~ I don't need you to keep reminding me!"
"If we reach the outer seas and you can't use that ancestral forbidden spell to find the monster's location—"
"I'm capable of acting alone at any time!"
"Don't blame me if you die at the hands of the monsters in the outer sea."
Nangong Wan coldly looked at her dual cultivation partner.
What a greedy bastard!
If things don't go as planned, you can venture into the Sea of Monsters on your own.
Even if I die at sea, it won't affect me in the slightest! Anyway, this isn't Tiannan. Even if someone knows the secret of the forbidden area, they can't compete with me for that opportunity.
It's just a pity about that Great Teleportation Token—if I had the chance, I would still want to get my hands on it.
At this moment, Nangong Wan no longer cared so much about Qin Fang's safety.
"Hehe~ Don't worry!"
"Once we're out at sea, I can absolutely make you 'unable to stop'—"
"Then, you'll be begging to come with me!"
Qin Fang was extremely confident.
Even Han Li still needs the "Demon-Attracting Grass" to lure a level 5 demon beast, trading time for the demon beast to come to him automatically.
But I don't need it at all!
Once the "Shift Your Vision" feature is activated, it acts like an all-encompassing net, finding all the monsters within a kilometer radius below the sea surface!
Unless you hide in the deep sea —
Otherwise, no one can escape his sharp eyes!
He had no need to hunt the monsters that lived in the deep sea, nor could he hunt them anyway. Fighting monsters in the deep sea was far too dangerous.
Tianxing City, the area where the 50th floor is located.
Qin Fang and Nangong Wan walked side by side toward the main hall. Above the hall's entrance hung a huge plaque: Starry Sky Hall.
This hall is where the Star Palace teleportation array is located, covering almost all the outer sea islands that can be teleported to.
Qin Fang remained calm, occasionally glancing curiously at his surroundings.
This is his first time here, and he will be teleported away from Tianxing City soon.
After entering the hall and walking through a long corridor, the space suddenly opened up to a bright and clear view.
A huge hall, twenty or thirty feet long and wide, appeared before Qin Fang and his companion.
—After half a cup of tea.
"Have you two made up your minds yet?!"
The Star Palace Core Formation Steward's voice was somewhat impatient, especially when he looked at Qin Fang, who was lost in thought.
"Oh! Senior—my husband and I have made up our minds."
"Let's go to Silver Shark Island!"
"These are our two spirit stones—"
Qin Fang snapped out of his reverie and quickly recovered from his deep thought, then presented the spirit stones with a forced smile.
You can't blame him for that.
While waiting to be teleported here, he inadvertently saw the words "Silver Shark Island" and felt that the island seemed to have some recollection of him.
After much deep thought—
Qin Fang was then shocked to realize something big that he had never thought of before!
"Here's the teleportation talisman, remember to stick it on properly! Don't blame me if you die later—"
Xinggong, having just reached the Core Formation stage, tossed out two teleportation talismans, and the seven mid-grade spirit stones in his hand had vanished without a trace.
Each time this teleportation array is activated, the Star Palace needs to collect a reward of seven hundred spirit stones.
It can teleport up to seven people at a time, but if there are not enough people, it will naturally require seven hundred spirit stones to activate the teleportation, so others will need to share the burden.
However, after Qin Fang took out seven mid-grade spirit stones, this teleportation was only used to teleport Qin Fang and the other person.
-
Silver Shark Island.
After a tremor, two figures appeared on the teleportation array.
It was Qin Fang and Nangong Wan who came from Tianxing City.
At this moment, the teleportation talismans on the two of them were clearly at their limit, and they turned to ashes and disappeared in a short while.
This talisman was meant for one-time use, so Qin Fang wasn't particularly surprised by it.
Compared to his Great Teleportation Order, this teleportation talisman is incomparable! But at least its security and convenience are quite high.
Qin Fang shook his head slightly and looked ahead.
In this simple stone house, besides him and Nangong Wan, there was only one other cultivator in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage wearing Star Palace robes. This person closed his eyes and practiced breathing exercises, seemingly too lazy to pay any attention to Qin Fang and Nangong Wan.
Qin Fang and his companion simply walked out of the teleportation array without giving it any further thought.
"Let's go! First, let's go to the local merchant guild and buy a local sea chart—"
Qin Fang took the lead and walked directly out of the simple stone house.
-
Qin Fang walked into a shop.
"Do you have any nautical charts for the area?" Qin Fang asked directly.
"Yes! We have both rough and fine versions. Which one would you like, senior?"
The shop assistant, who was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, was bowing and asking Qin Fang with a beaming smile.
"It is naturally more refined."
Qin Fang did not hesitate.
"A detailed sea chart costs one hundred low-grade spirit stones."
The servant immediately stated the price and looked at Qin Fang with expectant eyes.
"Ahem~ One hundred?"
"right----"
Qin Fang coughed.
It's just a nautical chart that can be copied infinitely, yet it costs so much; this really surprised him.
Qin Fang opened and closed his mouth several times, but no sound came out.
A moment later, Nangong Wan tossed out a mid-grade spirit stone and purchased a detailed sea map of the area near Silver Shark Island.
There was no other way—Qin Fang had spent most of his spirit stones on buying storage bags, and most of the rest was used to pay for teleportation.
I am now completely penniless!
If this trip doesn't go well, he'll probably be penniless when he gets back.
wrong!
He didn't even have the money to go back.
After buying the nautical chart, Qin Fang didn't waste any time and left the small shop directly. He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip to the open sea.
He also knew that it was only a mere hundred or so spirit stones, and there was no need to waste his breath on it.
An hour later, a golden beam of light left Silver Shark Island and headed straight for the northeast of the island.
During his escape, Qin Fang focused most of his energy on the Zhuanzhuan secondhand platform.
-
[Tradeable monster: ??? (Level 3 monster), distance 1375 meters.]
[Tradable Secondhand Items: Water Carp True Vein (Mottled), Silver Bone Arrow (Damaged), Glazed Scale Fragment (Complete)]
Qin Fang's face lit up with joy.
The unease in my heart has finally lessened considerably.
They had only just left Silver Shark Island when they discovered a level three demonic beast comparable to the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, which at least proved that his idea was correct.
He had been worried that if he couldn't find many monsters on this trip to the alien sea, it would be a real problem.
Qin Fang subtly changed his position a few times, roughly pinpointing the location of the monster.
Release of divine thoughts~
It was completely empty.
"What's wrong? Have you discovered something?"
Nangong Wan's voice appeared immediately.
This is the outer sea, a sea teeming with monsters; one can never be too careful.
"I vaguely sensed the aura of a demonic beast over there. Your Core Formation stage divine sense—didn't you detect anything?"
Qin Fang inquired.
Upon hearing this, Nangong Wan immediately focused her divine sense in the direction Qin Fang pointed.
"No----"
Nangong Wan replied.
"Perhaps I was just imagining things."
Qin Fang remained noncommittal, showing no intention of hunting the level-three demonic beast there.
This place is too close to Silver Shark Island, and it's just a level three demon beast. It's not worth trying at all, and it most likely doesn't have a demon core inside its body.
As for the fact that even Nangong Wan's divine sense couldn't detect that level-three demonic beast—
That's perfectly normal! Qin Fang has now cultivated two levels of the Great Evolution Technique, and his spiritual sense is almost as strong as Nangong Wan's—he also didn't detect the aura of the demonic beast!
Humans have been hunting demonic beasts for countless years. Faced with the predators, demonic beasts without some means of concealing their aura would probably have been wiped out by human cultivators long ago.
The fact that this beast appeared around Silver Shark Island suggests that it must have a remarkable talent for concealing its presence; otherwise, it would have been impossible for it to have grown to its current size.
Demonic beasts aren't born at the Foundation Establishment stage; most of them cultivate from level one beasts step by step.
If it weren't for this ability to conceal one's presence, one would have died at the hands of human cultivators long ago.
The reason why most of the human cultivators who went out to sea to hunt demons in the Chaotic Star Sea returned empty-handed is because they could not find the existence of the demons.
Qin Fang, on the other hand, had none of these worries.
On the Zhuanzhuan platform, nothing can escape its detection!
Wherever it goes, if there are any monsters, they will definitely appear in the tradeable section.
"Nonsense~ This place is so close to Silver Shark Island—even if there were any demonic beasts here, they would probably have been killed by other cultivators long ago."
"Let's go, don't waste time here!"
Nangong Wan urged.
Qin Fang remained silent, only glancing back at the azure deep sea before urging the python to head towards it.
Not long after the two left, a red carp with a rooster-like comb surfaced, blew a silver bubble, and then disappeared back into the sea.
