Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 121 Five Tokens, Leading to Extraordinary Treasures [Please Subscribe]

Inside the valley, the red-faced old man uttered a series of malicious words.

The three who had originally cooperated to retrieve the treasure instantly turned on each other, drawing their swords at each other.

The gray-robed old man and the red-faced old man were no good people, and Zhou Chun had already figured out that they had known each other for a long time.

If the Soul Heart Fruit hadn't been so important to him, he would never have cooperated with these two.

So after he got his hands on the Soul Heart Fruit, he no longer had the mind to scheme and plot against the two of them.

However, although he had no intention of harming anyone, people still harbored malicious intentions towards him.

The gray-robed old man and the red-faced old man clearly didn't want him to leave with the Soul Heart Fruit, and they were also eyeing his wealth.

Seeing that he wouldn't fall for it, the two of them immediately revealed their true colors and stopped pretending.

But what the two didn't expect was that as soon as they started fighting, Zhou Chun gave them a big "surprise".

At that moment, as soon as the fight with the two began, Zhou Chun reached out and patted the spirit beast pouch at his waist, releasing the Rock Tortoise.

The appearance of this additional high-grade first-tier demonic beast immediately made the gray-robed elder and the red-faced elder's expressions turn extremely ugly.

The two of them joined forces, confident that even with the help of the Silver Lightning Python, they could still defeat Zhou Chun.

However, the addition of a rock tortoise has now turned the situation around and puts them at a significant disadvantage.

"Good lad, we two have underestimated you this time. We didn't expect you to have such a trump card up your sleeve!"

The old man in gray stared at Zhou Chun with a look of shock and anger, and shouted out loud. He was extremely shocked.

He never expected that Zhou Chun, who looked so young, would have such abilities.

Zhou Chun, however, looked coldly at the two old men and said indifferently, "I, Han, had no intention of making things difficult for you. You brought this upon yourselves!"

Then, without further ado, he focused on controlling his two spirit pets to engage in fierce combat with the two men.

After a fierce battle, the three of them quickly realized that their opponents had indeed not used their full strength when they dealt with the Green-Faced Ghost Ape, and had been holding back their methods.

However, Zhou Chun became the one who hid the deepest!

At this moment, he not only released the rock tortoise, but also summoned the double-pronged flying fork magic weapon.

This magical artifact, capable of releasing icy energy to freeze enemies, is indeed an excellent tool for scheming against people.

When Zhou Chunyu used it to fight the gray-robed old man, it quickly used its cold energy to temporarily freeze the black iron ruler magic weapon that the old man had summoned.

Then he used his double-pronged flying fork and the Moon Blade Meteor Wheel to strike the gray-robed old man simultaneously, quickly breaking through his protective magic artifacts and shields.

"in vain!"

Before the gray-robed elder, whose protective shield had been broken, could use any other methods, Zhou Chun shouted loudly, and the silver lightning python Bai Bai, connected to his mind, reacted immediately.

A flash of lightning appeared, and a silver-white bolt of lightning struck down, hitting the gray-robed old man squarely on the head.

In an instant, just like a tree trunk struck by lightning, the gray-robed old man's head exploded and shattered on the spot.

The red-faced old man was horrified by this scene. He hurriedly summoned his flying artifact and took off, trying to escape through the air.

But he had barely flown a hundred feet into the air when three silver-white bolts of lightning suddenly struck him down from the sky, blasting him to the ground and turning him into a bloody pulp.

"Not bad, not bad. Although the preparation time was a bit long, the power of this lightning strike spell is indeed no less than that of an ordinary second-tier spell!"

Looking at the corpse on the ground, its flesh and bones shattered, Zhou Chun couldn't help but nod, marveling at the power of the Silver Lightning Python's innate spell.

The "Lightning Strike" spell is a spell that the Silver Lightning Python awakened when it broke through to become a first-tier high-grade demon beast.

The spells that most demonic beasts possess can be cast in an instant.

However, because this "lightning strike" spell is too powerful, the Silver Lightning Python must first gather its strength.

Moreover, when this technique is used, it will form a dark cloud in the sky that breeds lightning, making it very easy for people to detect and take precautions in advance.

Therefore, Zhou Chun had never allowed the Silver Lightning Python to use this spell against enemies before.

However, the valley is now shrouded in mist, obscuring sight and perception, creating ideal conditions for the Silver Lightning Python to make its move.

Therefore, when they began to take action, Zhou Chun had them prepare this spell.

If the red-faced old man hadn't tried to escape into the air, he might have withstood one or two lightning strikes, and even if he had perished, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state now.

But he insisted on taking off to escape, flying directly beneath the thunderclouds!

At this moment, Zhou Chun looked at the two corpses on the ground and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, saying, "I've already given you a chance, but you were too greedy and didn't know how to seize it!"

Then he stepped forward and collected the belongings from the two of them.

To Zhou Chun's surprise, the two of them actually had three "Heavenly Spirit Tokens" and several extra magical artifacts.

This indicates that they had previously killed a trial participant and seized their valuables.

This brought Zhou Chun's total number of "Heavenly Spirit Tokens" to five.

Based on this calculation, if he's lucky, he only needs to kill one more person to collect all seven "Heavenly Spirit Tokens".

"It's true what they say, you can't get rich without unexpected windfalls!"

After taking stock of his spoils, Zhou Chun couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

After obtaining the relics of the gray-robed elder and the red-faced elder, and including the three "Soul Heart Fruits," even without considering the value of the "Heavenly Spirit Tokens," his gains from this "Heavenly Spirit Trial" are probably close to tens of thousands of spirit coins!

He had never imagined that he would achieve such great results in just a few days.

Such a harvest would probably make even some late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators green with envy.

After all, even for them, it would take six or seven years of hard work to earn tens of thousands of spirit coins, even with good luck, and they couldn't afford to have any major expenses during that time.

However, gains and risks are relative.

Now that Zhou Chun is the victor, it doesn't matter how he laments.

But if he becomes a loser, then others will be left to criticize him while he lies dead.

Therefore, he was not blinded by this huge gain; on the contrary, he was more clear-headed and vigilant than ever before.

The red-faced old man was right about something he said earlier.

Zhou Chun's reluctance to risk teaming up with others does not mean that other trial participants will not team up to hunt others.

Although Zhou Chun is quite strong, if he encounters a team of more than three trial participants, the outcome is still uncertain!

"Looks like we'll have to change our strategy."

"The best course of action is to first gather all seven Heavenly Spirit Tokens, then wander around outside waiting until only one day remains in the trial, before heading to the seven-story tower to choose your treasure!"

Zhou Chun stroked his chin and quickly came up with a new idea.

Then he looked at the remaining two unripe "Soul Heart Fruits," shook his head slightly, and left the valley without destroying them.

Such spiritual fruits as the "Soul Heart Fruit" have strict requirements for their growing environment and can only grow in places with abundant Yin energy.

Furthermore, if they want to blossom and bear fruit, they need to be nourished by strange beasts like the Blue-faced Ghost Ape.

So even if Zhou Chun had a way to take the fruit trees out, there would be nowhere to plant them.

It would be better to note this place down and see if the younger generation of the family could have the opportunity to come back and seize the spiritual fruit in the future.

After leaving the valley, Zhou Chun cautiously continued to wander through the mountains.

Half a day later, Zhou Chun suddenly heard the sounds of fierce fighting.

When he quietly arrived at the vicinity, he only saw a burnt-out wasteland.

In the two days that followed, although he did not meet any of the other trainees, Zhou Chun heard the sounds of cultivators fighting on several occasions.

Clearly, as time went on, the cultivators who were getting closer to the seven-story tower were finding it easier to spot each other.

Under the special rules here, cultivators who come face to face are undoubtedly prone to engaging in life-or-death battles.

On this day, Zhou Chun discovered a very rare male musk deer in the mountains.

In pursuit of the frightened and fleeing musk deer, he even risked flying a considerable distance on his magical artifact!

It's no wonder he took such a risk; the fragrance from the musk deer is simply too rare.

This kind of monster is very difficult to find in the outside world. Once it is discovered, it will be hunted down and killed for its fragrance.

The fragrance emanating from the musk deer is a rare and precious item, priceless.

This item has many uses, but for cultivators, its most effective effect is to remove turbid and evil energy.

That's right, it's about removing the impure and malevolent energy that cultivators may have inadvertently acquired!

This single effect multiplies the value of the fragrance from the musk deer, making it even rarer and more precious than the Foundation Establishment Pill.

It should be understood that when one's cultivation level is low, getting some of this turbid and malevolent energy doesn't have much of an impact.

However, when one reaches the Purple Mansion stage or above, especially those cultivators preparing to open their Purple Mansion, it becomes something extremely unpleasant and repulsive.

A vivid analogy is that of a person with a blocked nose locked outside a latrine. Because their nose is blocked and they can't see, even if they know that the excrement and urine inside the latrine smells terrible, they probably won't feel too bad.

But if someone with a sense of smell that is much more sensitive than normal is locked up there, even if the smell of feces and urine doesn't kill him, who knows what kind of mental problems he might develop if this continues for a long time.

Furthermore, for cultivators preparing to open their Purple Mansion, the presence of turbid and malevolent energy within their bodies could lead to failure at crucial moments, or even demonic possession.

Based on this, any cultivator aspiring to open up the Purple Mansion, if they have turbid evil energy in their body that has not been removed, will be determined to obtain the spiritual fragrance produced by the Fragrant Spirit Musk.

Therefore, Zhou Chun is now determined to obtain that fragrant musk deer.

He himself has a purification stone jar, so he doesn't need the spiritual incense produced by the musk deer.

The problem is that he dares not reveal the spiritual water produced by the purification jar to anyone else, and he cannot exchange it for anything.

However, the spiritual fragrance produced by the Fragrant Spirit Musk is different. Not only can it be sold openly, but it is also very expensive, with one ounce worth thousands of spirit coins or even more!

So he's determined to capture this fragrant musk deer today, and no one can stop him!

Two-legged creatures cannot outrun four-legged creatures, and four-legged creatures cannot outrun winged creatures.

After Zhou Chun used the flying magic artifact "Silver Rainbow Ruler", even if Xiang Ling She was fast, she could not escape his grasp.

"Go!"

In the sky, Zhou Chun swung the [Golden Lock Ring] in his hand and threw it, which landed squarely on the head of the running Xiang Ling She.

This thing is about the size of a sika deer, and it doesn't have antlers yet, so it's very easy to catch.

Then, as Zhou Chun activated his magic, the fragrant musk deer was quickly strangled by the neck and collapsed to the ground, its four legs still stubbornly pushing against the ground.

"Bai Bai, you quiet it down."

In the mountains and forests, after landing, Zhou Chun reached out and patted the spirit beast pouch, releasing the Silver Lightning Python.

Upon hearing his command, the Silver Lightning Python immediately spat out a bolt of silver-white lightning that struck the Fragrant Spirit Musk.

He was electrocuted on the spot, causing him to convulse, urinate and defecate, and quickly lose consciousness.

Bai Bai had become quite skilled at using this violent method of electrocution to render someone unconscious, having done so repeatedly on those eight-antlered water-repelling deer.

After stunning Xiangling Musk with electricity, Zhou Chun had Bai Bai stand guard while he himself went forward to pluck the fragrant incense from the musk gland sac under Xiangling Musk's abdomen.

The scent gland sac is located under the skin in front of the "bell" of the musk deer, and before it is opened, it does not reveal any fragrance.

But as Zhou Chun pried open the glued opening with her fingernail, a captivating fragrance wafted out.

The person who smelled the strange fragrance felt enlightened, but the Silver Lightning Python, which was not far away, felt as uncomfortable as a person smelling excrement and immediately twisted its body away.

Not only it, but all snakes and insects within a hundred feet of the musk deer shunned it and fled at lightning speed.

It turns out that the musk deer likes to eat snakes and insects, and its fragrance is also made from the essence of snakes and insects, making it a natural snake repellent.

Any creature that smells this fragrance will avoid even demonic snakes and insects.

"Indeed, it possesses a naturally occurring, extraordinary fragrance!"

With a sigh of praise, Zhou Chun hurriedly extended three fingers and inserted them into the sachet, scooping out all the spiritual fragrance that had been stored inside for many years.

The final incense obtained weighed a full half pound!

Hiss!!

Just as Zhou Chun was overjoyed as he put the obtained incense into a jade bottle and prepared to close the incense gland sac to prevent the fragrance from continuing to dissipate, the Silver Lightning Python Bai Bai suddenly let out a rapid hissing warning sound.

This caused his expression to change drastically. He hurriedly got up, took out his magical artifact, and prepared to fight the enemy. At the same time, he sent the Silver Lightning Python back first.

After a moment's thought, he used the spirit beast pouch he had obtained from the gray-robed old man to put the unconscious Xiang Ling She into it.

Just as he finished doing all this, an ugly, hunchbacked old man in black clothes suddenly walked out of the forest, leaning on a cane.

The hunchbacked old man emerged from the forest, first glancing at the silver lightning python, Bai Bai, beside Zhou Chun, its forked tongue flicking. Then, his eyes burned with fervor as he looked at Zhou Chun and said, "Young man, now honestly hand over the fragrant musk and the spiritual incense you just obtained, and I might spare your life!"

It turned out that he had seen the fragrant musk through his divine sense before Zhou Chun put it away.

In addition, the lingering fragrance was enough for him to deduce what kind of demon the musk demon was.

However, his tone made Zhou Chun very uncomfortable.

He immediately replied coldly, "You have quite the arrogance!"

After saying that, he sneered and said, "What if I, Han, don't hand over the goods today?"

"Then I'll have no choice but to send you to your final resting place!"

With a low shout, the hunchbacked old man raised his hand and used his brass cane to strike Zhou Chun.
