Chapter 146 - 146: True Dragon Qi
The island was filled with rolling mountains, winding streams, dense forests, and abundant spiritual energy, like a paradise on earth.
This was precisely the lair of that Golden Armor Crab, and it had to be said, it really knew how to pick a spot.
Fang Hong activated his powerful Divine Sense to scan the entire island, carefully sensing every part of it, and quickly pinpointed the exact location of the Golden Armor Crab's Immortal Cave.
There were almost no protective formations on the island, only a few level three and four minor demonic beasts guarding sporadically near the entrance of the Immortal Cave.
Since he confirmed there were no strong enemies or hidden traps on the island, Fang Hong no longer needed to conceal his whereabouts and landed directly at the entrance of the Immortal Cave with a swagger.
The minor demonic beasts, who were originally patrolling, were terrified when they saw Fang Hong appear and scattered in a panic, like birds and beasts.
Fang Hong's gaze was cold, and with a flick of his fingertip, a red light shot out, instantly enveloping all the fleeing minor demonic beasts.
After a few screams, Fang Hong dealt with all these minor demonic beasts, feeding them to his demon gourd to be refined into spirit pills.
After dealing with the small fry demonic beasts, Fang Hong stepped into the Immortal Cave passage and entered the Golden Armor Crab's Immortal Cave.
After a search, he indeed found many good things.
In a stone chamber within the Immortal Cave, Fang Hong found many Cultivation resources; after a rough count, there were over fifty thousand low-grade spirit stones.
He also discovered a pile of various seabed Ore materials emitting faint spiritual light, and four spiritual artifacts of different grades, neatly arranged on a stone platform.
Among the four spiritual artifacts, three were Low Grade spiritual artifacts, and judging from the refining marks, they were likely spoils of war from the Golden Armor Crab killing human Core formation Stage Cultivators.
The most eye-catching was a golden-glowing sharp axe, heavy and solid throughout, with an exceptionally sharp blade, clearly a High Grade spiritual artifact.
Fang Hong's eyes narrowed, and after a brief assessment, he judged that this golden axe was likely refined from the extremely rare earth fire crystal.
As a top-tier artifact refining Material, earth fire crystal is not only indestructible but also enhances the attack power of spiritual artifacts, making it even more precious than the glass sand and earth fire crystal he had previously obtained.
According to Fang Hong's understanding, demonic beasts have strong Physical Bodies and do not often engage in artifact refining.
He guessed that this golden axe was likely not personally refined by the Golden Armor Crab, but rather obtained from the ancient treasure house of the Dragon Palace and treasured by it.
Besides these spirit stones and spiritual artifacts, the pile of seabed Ore was also good, with "coral crystal" being the rarest.
This Material is light red, tough in texture, and also an excellent main Material for refining spiritual artifacts.
Fang Hong put all these precious treasures into his storage bag and then calmly left the Golden Armor Crab's Immortal Cave.
He was now very much looking forward to what treasures the Demonic King's Immortal Caves would hold.
Five days later, Fang Hong returned to his temporary Immortal Cave; he did not immediately go to find the Golden-winged Bird.
Because the Golden-winged Bird's nest was not in the White Mist Island sea area, but rather in the more dangerous Demon Island sea area.
The Demon Island sea area was a bit far from here, and it would not be too late to seek revenge after he refined that mysterious alchemy furnace.
Fang Hong sat cross-legged in the alchemy room, took out the mysterious alchemy furnace he obtained from the fourth floor of the Dragon Palace from his storage bag, and began refining the numerous restrictions on it with his Nascent Soul Fire.
The restrictions on the alchemy furnace were quite tenacious, but fortunately, Fang Hong was already a Nascent Soul Cultivator, and his Nascent Soul Fire was exceptionally powerful.
Thus, he painstakingly refined the restrictions day after day, spending a full month, and finally succeeded in completely refining the mysterious alchemy furnace, bringing it under his control.
At this moment, Fang Hong sat on the ground expressionlessly, and with a slight flick of his fingertip, the lid of the alchemy furnace slowly opened with a soft hum.
Hiss.
As soon as the lid opened a crack, several brilliant golden lights burst out from the gap.
Following closely behind was an extremely rich and refreshing Pill aroma, causing the entire alchemy room to be filled with surging pill Qi.
Seeing this, Fang Hong's face instantly lit up with joy; sure enough, the Dragon God did not disappoint him, there really was a spirit pill inside this alchemy furnace.
The lid fully opened, and suddenly, ten golden medicinal pills floated out from the mouth of the furnace, emitting waves of alluring Pill aroma.
Each medicinal pill was crystal clear, with faint golden Qi entwined on its surface.
These golden Qi would occasionally transform into small Golden Dragons swirling on the surface of the medicinal pills, appearing lifelike.
"What kind of medicinal pill is this?" Fang Hong stood up in surprise, his expression shocked, and reached out to draw the medicinal pills into his palm for a closer look.
The closer the medicinal pills got, the more he could feel the rich medicinal power contained within them; the small Golden Dragons were lifelike, as if alive, appearing astonishingly anomalous.
"This golden Qi… could it be the legendary True Dragon Qi?" Fang Hong secretly speculated.
He recalled that when he received the Dragon Fist inheritance, he had seen that enormous True Dragon in his memories, and its body also had this golden Qi entwined around it, so he suspected that this was very likely True Dragon Qi.
If that were truly the case, then he would have hope for Cultivating Dragon Fist.
Fang Hong immediately took out a jade box he had prepared earlier and carefully placed the ten mysterious medicinal pills inside.
Visually, these medicinal pills did not seem like poisons, and he decided to try refining one of them later to see what the effect would be.
After storing the medicinal pills, Fang Hong glanced at the three-legged alchemy furnace again.
This furnace, named "Black Meteorite Furnace," was a Mid Grade spiritual treasure!
Although it had no special Divine Abilities, its body was heavy and sturdy, making it quite practical for alchemy or as a defensive shield in emergencies.
Fang Hong put away the Black Meteorite Furnace, and with a wave of his hand, he sacrificed the "Dragon Suppressing Cauldron," then jumped into the cauldron with the ten medicinal pills, intending to personally test the effects of this mysterious medicinal pill.
Sitting cross-legged inside the cauldron, Fang Hong took out one of the medicinal pills and slowly inhaled it into his mouth.
As soon as the medicinal pill entered his mouth, it immediately transformed into a scorching golden Qi stream, rapidly spreading to his limbs and bones, circulating throughout his entire meridians.
Boom.
A muffled sound exploded within his body, Fang Hong's face suddenly changed, and he exclaimed in a low voice.
"What astonishing medicinal power."
He felt a domineering medicinal power flowing through his body; if he didn't refine it in time, his body might explode.
The spiritual energy contained in this medicinal pill was dozens of times richer than the pure spiritual energy contained in a level seven demonic beast spirit pill; it truly deserved to be a spirit pill from the Dragon Palace.
Fang Hong dared not be negligent and immediately fully circulated the Essence Emperor Art, rapidly refining that domineering medicinal power with his powerful cultivation technique.
At the same time, he activated the Dragon Suppressing Cauldron, guiding the medicinal power within his body to various bones and flesh, tempering his physical body, making it even tougher.
Thus, as time passed, the golden medicinal power was gradually refined and absorbed, and Fang Hong's magic power also rapidly increased, his aura steadily strengthening.
