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

Chapter 97 Backlash from the Flood Dragon Technique: Return to the City

Are you alright?

Nangong Wan looked at Qin Fang with a worried expression.

For the past five years, the two have relied on each other for survival, supporting each other as they cooperated and fought in the deep sea.

Although the two still present themselves as a couple to the outside world, the truth is that they are more like comrades-in-arms who have fought side by side for many years!

From occasional minor frictions to now being able to understand each other's emotions with just a glance.

Over the course of five years, not only did the two not develop much romantic affection for each other, but they became more like family than when they first set sail.

This is, in a way, a very good thing for Nangong Wan as well.

Because of what happened in the Crimson Forbidden Land, this woman's feelings towards Qin Fang were extremely complicated, even to the point of having some inner demons. These inner demons may seem insignificant now, but if Nangong Wan advances to the Nascent Soul stage in the future, they will likely become a major obstacle on her path of cultivation!

A major hurdle that could lead to death and the annihilation of one's spiritual essence!

However, in the midst of their daily battles, Nangong Wan herself was unaware that the inner demon deep within her heart had long since vanished, replaced by another emotion.

"It's okay~ I can suppress it a little!"

Qin Fang's face was pale and his forehead was covered with a fine layer of sweat.

Seeing the extremely worried look on Nangong Wan's face, Qin Fang could only reassure her again, "It's really nothing!"

"Don't worry—if there really were any problems, don't you know my personality? I would have already found a way to solve them!"

Qin Fang's attempt to comfort her was clearly not fully accepted by Nangong Wan.

"You can no longer use this forbidden spell!"

"If this continues, you might suffer a backlash from this technique—you'll completely go berserk!"

"Since we already have quite a few demon cores, let's hurry back to Tianxing City and discuss this further!"

Nangong Wan frowned; she was genuinely thinking of Qin Fang.

Therefore, it seems that he doesn't even want the treasure opportunity of a demon beast's inner core.

"Well----"

"How many level-five inner cores do you have now?"

Qin Fang looked embarrassed, but fortunately Nangong Wan wasn't focused on that, so she didn't notice the slight change in Qin Fang's expression for that brief moment.

Something's definitely not right!

As the saying goes, one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.

In order to make the forbidden spell he found about the demon beast more real, he changed the name of the backlash of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique to "forbidden spell backlash".

Since they're both going to backfire anyway—they don't seem to make much of a difference!

The reason for doing this was simply to make his excuse less suspicious.

To be able to find a level-five demon beast's special spell so easily without any consequences—no one would believe it if they told others!

"About a hundred."

"These demon cores—may be enough for me to raise my cultivation technique to the late stage of Core Formation."

"Your current cultivation level is approaching the Pseudo-Core stage. Replacing some of your demon cores with Core Formation aids should give you a good chance of successfully advancing to Core Formation."

"There's no need to hunt monsters in this open sea anymore. Shall we—shall we go back?"

"The backlash against you is getting worse and worse; I'm really worried something might happen!"

Nangong Wan checked the storage bag and then said.

"Alright, it's true what you said—"

"Both the materials from the demonic beasts and the quantity of their inner cores are more than enough for me to advance to the Core Formation stage!"

"However, before we leave, we need you to help me capture those two dragons—"

Qin Fang pondered for a moment, and then said this.

"you----"

"Why did you have to provoke that dragon?!"

Nangong Wan was puzzled.

Two years ago, the two of them discovered the location of a "dragon's nest".

The strongest of them even possessed the cultivation level of a peak seventh-level demon beast!

Level 7 peak!

That was a powerful demon who was just one step away from transforming into human form; how could these two possibly provoke it?

"It's not for that level seven crested dragon!"

"I know my own limitations. Even with our current strength, I wouldn't dare say we could kill an ordinary level seven demon beast, but we could certainly hold our own."

"But as for the Cockscomb Dragon—we two are probably no match for it at all."

"My target is the other two peak-level fourth-tier dragons!"

"The backlash from my technique can only be completely resolved by thoroughly subduing those two demonic creatures!"

Qin Fang waved his hands repeatedly.

"Several months ago, my forbidden spell detected that the level seven crested dragon seemed to have temporarily left its lair for some reason."

"They are not in that lair now."

"If nothing unexpected happens, there should only be one level-five strange dragon present!"

"Once we kill that level-five demonic dragon and capture the remaining two level-four dragons, we can go straight back to Tianxing City."

Qin Fang explained.

The nearly one hundred demon cores were more than enough for his future cultivation, and he wouldn't have to worry about pills until he formed his core.

even----

More than a year ago, after he had accumulated sixty or seventy demon cores, he had already begun to consider returning.

The reason he's been staying in the open sea is ultimately because he hasn't found the best dragon bloodline.

The Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique is not something you can master by simply finding an ordinary demonic beast. If you cultivate it haphazardly, the technique will inevitably lose its balance, causing it to go completely berserk. At best, your cultivation level will plummet! At worst, you might even be killed by the backlash of the technique.

In recent years, Qin Fang has been paying close attention to the existence of the "Dragon Clan Bloodline".

After years of searching, he did indeed find two extremely common dragon bloodlines.

[Tradable Secondhand Items: Xuan Tu Long Bloodline (Miscellaneous) Pheasant Dragon Bloodline (Miscellaneous)]

Compared to the "Black Dragon Bloodline (Mysterious)" of the Ink Dragon, Qin Fang vaguely felt that these two dragon bloodlines were extremely inferior!

But there's nothing I can do—

Over a period of five years, he encountered two demonic beasts that possessed a trace of dragon blood, one of which was a Xuan Turtle at the peak of level one.

Qin Fang's persistence, even risking his life to hunt him down in the deep sea, puzzled Nangong Wan for a long time.

That's right!

The "Mysterious Earth Dragon Bloodline (Miscellaneous)" was obtained from a Mysterious Tortoise.

Dragon bloodline~ Dragon bloodline! It doesn't only appear in monsters like dragons.

On the contrary, the group of "dragons" that Qin Fang is now targeting do not possess a single trace of true dragon blood! It's a rather ironic situation.

The dragon itself does not possess the bloodline of the dragon race. Instead, some strange and unusual monsters may possess a trace of unawakened dragon bloodline.

"Will it be helpful for your injuries?"

"it works!"

"What are we waiting for? Let's pack up and hurry! Who knows when that level seven crested dragon will be back—"

,"good."

Qin Fang was touched when he saw that Nangong Wan agreed immediately.

a few days later.

-

A pure white streak of light was frantically fleeing towards Silver Shark Island.

Within the escaping light, Nangong Wan looked anxious, holding Qin Fang to her chest, and glancing behind her from time to time.

"I can't breathe—"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

"Don't worry too much. That Reversed Five Elements Formation is no joke. Even if the opponent is close to transforming into human form, it won't be easy for them to escape quickly."

"Focus on recovering from your injuries! Stop talking nonsense!"

"Fine~ You decide what to do."

Qin Fang was helpless.

He was now completely limp and powerless, and could only do whatever Nangong Wan said.

This is the effect of the backlash from the second layer of the Heavenly Spring.

When the first level of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridians Technique, also known as the "Eight Evils," backfires, it causes Qin Fang to experience the illusion of his ten fingers being crushed back and forth. Because of that intense pain, Qin Fang fainted in the Yue Kingdom Canal and was eventually captured by the Black Fiend Sect.

And the second layer of the Heavenly Spring —

Located on his shoulder! If he suffers a backlash, Qin Fang will be unable to muster even a shred of strength!

It sounds like it's much less painful than losing a finger?

Then you're wrong! Utterly wrong!

The feeling of weakness was no less than the backlash from the "Eight Evils of the First Level," and perhaps even worse.

He was so weak that Qin Fang sometimes had the illusion that he was already dead.

Extremely terrifying!

Qin Fang's current state is related to their kidnapping of the demon dragon.

Silver Shark Island.

A beam of silver light descended, revealing a veiled female cultivator who was currently embracing a male cultivator, her expression anxious.

He looked around.

Nangong Wan barely dared to hesitate and headed straight for the small house where the Star Palace teleportation array was located.

"Are you two—seniors—going to be teleported?"

-

The Star Palace cultivators became much more respectful.

Nangong Wan fled at breakneck speed, and when she arrived at Silver Shark Island, she didn't even have time to conceal her true cultivation level.

"hurry up----"

Nangong Wan dropped the spirit stone and headed straight for the teleportation array.

"yes----"

The middle-aged man in the foundation-building stage of the Star Palace immediately bowed.

This person is no longer the same as he was five years ago; he is no longer as indifferent and aloof.

Soon after entering the teleportation array, the array flashed with spiritual light, and the surrounding spiritual energy surged.

In a flash of inspiration, the man and woman standing on the formation disappeared in a strange posture.

then----

A furious roar, like that of a dragon, echoed above Silver Shark Island.

————Tianxing City.

As if he had just recovered from a serious illness, Qin Fang lay down on the wooden bed in the forty-seventh floor cave he had just rented and fell fast asleep.

Now he doesn't want to care about anything anymore! Five years of mental strain have left him exhausted, and all he wants now is a good night's sleep.

Even though the backlash from the second profound meridian of the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique, Heavenly Spring, was still present, it still couldn't stop him.

Or perhaps it was precisely because of the backlash from "Heavenly Spring" that Qin Fang fell into a deep sleep.

Once he fell asleep, Qin Fang lost all sense of the world around him! He slept so soundly that he was oblivious to the passage of time.

Waking up again —

Nangong Wan had vanished without a trace. Qin Fang looked around the cave dwelling, feeling a great sense of novelty.

If Nangong Wan hadn't been a Core Formation stage cultivator, it really wouldn't have been easy for her to directly rent this forty-seven-story cave dwelling.

The Star Palace only rents out the cave dwellings below the 50th floor; the higher the floor, the higher the price! But correspondingly, the spiritual energy within the cave dwelling is naturally more concentrated.

Hey~

"Let's deal with these two spirit beasts first!"

Qin Fang seemed to be thinking of something related to Nangong Wan. He chuckled and then turned his attention to the spirit beast pouch at his waist.

— Passing through the long corridor, Qin Fang appeared before the beast chamber of the cave.

Activating the restrictive formation, Qin Fang patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, and two balls of dark red spiritual light immediately entered the beast chamber.

"Sing~!"

"Sing~!"

Two dragon roars echoed, one angry and the other mournful.

"Quiet----"

"Roar~~"

"roar!!"

The two dark red dragons responded.

"Tsk tsk~"

Qin Fang clicked his tongue twice and immediately activated the formation.

"Aww————"

"Aww————"

A scream immediately rang out.

His Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique is an extremely unconventional method of controlling beasts! It can even be described as quite domineering.

"There is no need for spirit beasts that have been raised from a young age to serve as consumables for training."

Otherwise, it's unlikely that anyone in this world could successfully cultivate this technique, not even Han Li with the Heavenly Bottle.

This method has a very special way of prohibiting beasts. As long as a suitable demon beast is forcibly captured, one can use it to cultivate.

"This is a bit troublesome—"

"Unexpectedly, an extra level four monster was killed."

"Using this level-five female dragon—shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Qin Fang stared at one of the two dragons being punished by the forbidden lightning and muttered to himself.

That nest of dragons—due to an accident, one of the level-four dragons that was supposed to be captured died, so they had no choice but to capture the level-five female dragon as well.

Finally, the level seven crested dragon returned. If it weren't for the inverted five elements formation set up in advance, Qin Fang and Nangong Wan would have been in danger.

Fortunately, they made it back to Tianxing City safely without any real danger.

"Never mind!"

"Let's subdue this peak level four guy first—my cultivation technique can't wait any longer, otherwise something unexpected might happen."

Qin Fang made a decision and immediately increased the power of the lightning suppression.

He didn't care whether the subdued monsters were truly convinced or not. As long as they were suppressed by the Nine Dragons Suppressing Meridian Technique, their life or death was entirely in his hands!
