Chapter 596: Beast's den
"Fellow, it seems you have just obtained the Blazed Ice Fruit." One of the men of the Ice Phoenix Clan come forward and spoke.
Elder Hua and others looked at the people of Ice Phoenix Clan warily and said, "Yes."
"Fellow Doist, it is like this. This ice fruit is very beneficial to us. Can you sell these fruits to us? We're willing to exchange them for the same treasures as well." The man of the Ice Phoenix Clan said politely.
Elder Hua and others noticed that most of the people of ice phoenix clan were ice element cultivators. These Blazed Ice Fruits were naturally precious treasure to them.
"Fellow doist, if you have eight rank treasures we are willing to exchange with my Blazed Ice Fruit." Jin Hai spoke slowly. It was a win-win situation. The Blazed Ice Fruits were important to Ice Phoenix Clan while Jin Hai wanted to obtain a spiritual treasure that was most suitable for him.
"Sure!" The Ice Phoenix Clan's people nodded in excitement. They took out their best treasures and showed them to Jin Hai. Jai Hai's eyes widened when he saw an earth element spiritual herb, he didn't waste a second and exchanged it with his Blazed Ice Fruit. While the second person exchanges his fruit for an eight-grade medicine pill and the third person exchanged his Blazed Ice Fruit for an eight-rank metal element spiritual herb.
With these transactions, the Ice Phoenix Clan obtained three Blazed Ice Fruits. After that, they looked at Elder Hua and Mu Renshu for exchange. But they didn't have more eight rank spiritual herbs on them.
"Fellow Doist, we are out of Spiritual Herbs. How about exchanging them for something else? Like spirit stones or martial skills."
"No, I only want Spiritual Herb. I need a Metal Element Spiritual Herb. If you have it, then we can make an exchange." Mu Renshu denied it immediately. Although the spirit stones or martial skills can be useful, they couldn't make him advance quickly.
"And I am looking for Fire Element treasure!" Elder Hua also spoke out.
The people of the Ice Phoenix Clan looked at each other as they shook their heads. None of them had more spiritual herbs on them.
"Fellow Doist, we don't have it now. Just give us some time, please don't sell them to others. We will contact as you as soon as we obtained the metal and fire element treasures." The men of Ice Phoenix Clan asked sincerely.
"Okay, you can contact me later if you have the item for exchange." Mu Renshu nodded and said. The people of the Ice Phoenix Clan nodded lightly before leaving with a satisfied look in their eyes. They just got three Blazed Ice Fruit, and can get two more soon. It was a huge gain.
The sixth person didn't sell or exchanged his Blazed Ice Fruit, he was a water element cultivator. The Blazed Ice Fruit was useful to him.
"Let's go!" Elder Hua said as she led them into the inner region of the secret realm. Feng Yun's group encountered many people in the inner region, most of them were working in groups. But Feng Yun was yet to meet the people of Cao Clan. Looks like they went ahead further toward the core area.
At this time, Feng Yun's group was fighting against the huge boar of Sovereign Rank. It was the third sovereign rank they have encountered so far. The numbers of sovereign rank beasts were increasing as they walked forward into the inner circle.
"This is the third. There are many strong beasts in this secret realm. Is it alright to walk further?" Mu Wenquan couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Don't worry, we will be fine." Feng Yun said with a confident smile.
"Feng Yun, you didn't use your full strength when you were fighting against me in the clan." Mu Wenquan looked Feng Yun and said dejectedly. After seeing the full strength of Feng Yun in the secret realm, the three people were truly shocked. Mu Wenquan was felt dispirited, she didn't expect there would be such huge gap between their strength.
"Well.." Feng Yun couldn't reply.
"You can chat later, let's focus on this beast first." Elder Hua interrupted. Feng Yun nodded as he stepped forward while swinging his sword.
"Seventh Sword Form!" A huge red arch formed by his sword attack, the red sword qi arch smashed onto the boar, leaving deep cuts on its body.
"Roarrrrr!!!!" The boar roared in pain and anger, its eyes became bloodshed as it looked at Feng Yun furiously.
"Come you stupid beast!" Feng Yun roared as he charged at the boar. Elder Hua and others also didn't fell behind and attacked the boar same time.
A few minutes later, Feng Yun embedded his sword into the brain of the tens of meters big boar. His heaven slayer sword looked like a big needle that embedded into the huge beasts. But it devoured the vitality of the boar in just a few moments.
Feng Yun requested to give the final below to the beasts. The others were baffled slightly but agreed eventually. The reason was simple, Feng Yun wanted to feed the Heavenly Slayer Sword by absorbing the vital qi of the beasts. It has been a while, Feng Yun hasn't fed the Heavenly Slayer Sword.
Heavenly Slayer Sword was like a hungry beast, devouring all the vital qi effortlessly. Feng Yun noticed that some dimmed spirit patterns started brighten slowly as the Heavenly Slayer Sword devour the more vital qi. They need a huge amount of vital qi to fully brighten up. When that happens, the rank of the Heavenly Slayer Sword will also advance.
Elder Hua and Mu Renshu noticed that when Feng Yun's sword entered of a beast's body, it started to devour the vital qi of the beast. It took a few moments for the sword to suck all of the vital qi of the beasts. That was truly a shocking thing. Which kind of demonic sword is it that devour the vital qi.
Both of them were curious about Feng Yun's sword but decided not to ask as it was Feng Yun's secret.
...
They have been inside the secret realm for fifteen days and have encountered many spirit beasts. They also found some treasures but none of them was more precious than Blazed Ice Fruit. The People of the Ice Phoenix Clan come to exchange the treasure again. This time they brought the metal and fire element spiritual treasures to exchange.
In the last seven days, the people who entered in the secret realm have killed more than thousands of spirit beasts and explored the entire outer region of the secret realm. Fortunately, the beasts didn't live in a harmonious relationship. Otherwise, thousands of beasts were to gang up against the human cultivators, the result would be unimaginable.
Now only the core region was remaining to explore. But it was extremely difficult, many already back down seeing the powerful spirit beasts in the core region.
As Feng Yun's group reached the Core area, he found many people have already arrived before them. There were hundreds of people standing in the sky, looking ahead at the ruins of ancient buildings.
There was a ruin in front of them. It looked like a forgotten sect that was abandoned for millennia. It was the true ancient ruin of an ancient sect. One could see many remains of giant buildings and pavilions. At the back, there was standing towering building that was looked a giant ice castle from afar.
Although it became a ruin, one could guess that this sect used to be a giant sect. After all, there were enough building to accumulate an entire city. The cold Qi was strongest her. Some weak people were finding it difficult to resist the cold qi.
Feng Yun scanned the ruins with his divine sense and a drop of sweet appeared on his forehead, 'So many spirit beasts!" He exclaimed inwardly in shock.
Its condition was similar to the ancient Gu city which was occupied by the resentful souls while this was occupied by the beasts. There were thousands of beasts of heaven rank and tens of spirit beasts of sovereign rank residing in the ruins of buildings.
"This place is crowded with beasts." Elder Hua looked at the ruin and mutter softly. They were standing at least thousands of meters away from the ruin but still could sense a tremendous amount of beast aura from there.
