Volume 1: Red Lotus Temple Chapter 113: Fossil

  "Python grass?" Fan Wubing made a mortal gesture, rubbing his eyes.

  Everyone quickly approached the seaweed, and Bai Qi threw out a paper charm. The paper charm turned into an armored soldier, which was immediately rolled up by the seaweed and swallowed into nothingness.

  "Sir, would you like to go in and take a look? Maybe there are some cold rock oysters."

  Fan Wubing nodded, this python grass has almost been eradicated by the various major sects. Not to mention that it is a good material for refining elixirs, this python grass grows on top of cold jade, and on top of the cold jade lives the cold rock mussel, which is highly toxic in itself, but one pearl can be used to refine special talismans.

  Especially the powerful Lei Fu, using this Cold Rock Pearl's ice bead to refine it, its power is at least doubled. All the ice beads are used to refine the immortal symbols, and as long as you get one, even if you return home empty-handed, you won't be at a loss.

  That Uncle Fan who was not ill said: "Wu Bing, if you want to enter this area, I won't be able to help you."

  Fan Wu nodded and said, "That's natural, I'll find a way to open up the channel."

  Bai Qi said: "Young master, using the jade dragon symbol won't work either. Why don't I try?"

  "Alright." Fan Wubing was just about to see what other tricks Bai Qi had up his sleeve.

  Bai Qi didn't have any other means either. He arrived at the edge of that forest and took out a Five Elements Apocalypse Fire Talisman, throwing it down.

  The flames of robbery suddenly ignited, and some monsters hidden in the python grass were all self-igniting, falling deeper.

  The golden strongmen beside Fan Wubing saw the flames burning wildly in the seawater, and their faces didn't look too good.

  Robbery fire...

  That immortal looked at Bai Qi, and the power of this Bai Qi's Xian Shen period was undoubtedly extraordinary. However, the talismans he refined were all unbelievable things.

  Let's not mention the dragon symbol, tens of thousands of jade stones can be refined into one. The jade symbol currently in use can also trigger a tribulation fire.

  Using the Five Elements Catastrophe Fire Talisman in a place with such a high concentration of demonic beasts is not a waste at all. One talisman can trigger the catastrophe fire within the bodies of over ten demonic beasts. If it were just one, even if it's a Golden Dan-level beast, using this talisman would be a waste.

  This thing is originally used when life and death are at stake, so it's not a loss.

  Bai Qi continuously threw out more than a dozen Wu Yin Jie Huo Fu, and had already burned out a wide path in the mangroves, nearly two miles deep.

  Fan Wubing beckoned with his hand, letting everyone go down to check. Those Jindan cultivators had some fear of Bai Qi, this Five Aggregates Tribulation Fire could only be resisted by a fairy, if they were not careful and got stained on their bodies, the Jindan period cultivators would be knocked out of the boundary.

  Everyone carefully followed Bai Qi, who picked up the inner elixir that the demon beast had burst out and handed it over to Fan Wubing's uncle. Fan Wubing's uncle saw that Bai Qi had opened a path and also followed him down.

  These demonic beasts' internal elixirs will still have to be split with Bai Qi, who used his own strength and precious jade symbols to open the passage. These internal elixirs are his spoils of war. As for why he only gets half, it's because there is an immortal guaranteeing his safety. If he had come out alone and acted privately, then all the spoils would have belonged to him alone.

  Bai Qi didn't expect to get rich from the demon beast's inner dan, what comes next is the key point. Those cultivators started using flying swords to harvest the python grass, which itself has attacking power and would be quite dangerous if approached too closely. Now a wide path appeared, allowing the cultivators to use their flying swords at close range, rendering the python grass immobile and making harvesting effortless.

  Underwater, the flying sword's speed is slow. If you don't get close, you won't know when it will take to cut into the deepest part of this crevice.

  After traveling for more than ten miles, the fissure finally came to an end. The entire bottom of the fissure was made up of blue cold jade. Cold jade itself is not particularly valuable, but a piece of jade this large, with its core having at least several high-grade jade marrow, it's almost considered a top-grade jade stone.

  Although Fan Wubing gave Bai Qi a jade stone of Dao grade without hesitation, that was his entire family fortune, and he only got four dragon symbols in return.

  Fan Wubing smiled and his face lit up, he immediately urged his Taoist soldiers to move forward. The fierce sun swallowed the blood ring. When the cold jade encountered the true fire of the great sun, it suddenly became extremely brittle. The fierce sun swallowing the blood ring opened the huge cold jade in a few moments, revealing the jade pulp inside.

  At this time, Fan Wubing's subordinates began to release flying swords to cut and chop the jade marrow, trying to keep the core intact.

  The entire process took less than a minute, and the jade marrow was dug out. This time, however, it went into Fan Wubing's ring. This wasn't considered hunting, so there was no need to hand over half of the spoils to the sect.

  Fan Wubing was overjoyed, and the jade marrow of Han Yu was dug out. He wouldn't have to borrow jade from the door for a whole year. Supporting Bai Qi had already made him somewhat strained. But the value of Fu Long was also enormous, he couldn't remain unmoved.

  "After going back, everyone will have a share."

  Those cultivators cheered, they were all Golden Elixir level cultivators, and jade stones below the Dao level had no value to them. Seeing Bai Qi consume a large amount of Dao-level jade stones every day, these Golden Elixir period cultivators were speechless with worry.

  The number of jade stones allocated to Fan Wubing by the sect every year is limited, and how they are used is up to Fan Wubing's discretion.

  Everyone knows the importance of Fulong, but if they can't get jade stones, it will affect everyone's cultivation. There are very few alchemists in the sect who won't specifically supply Fan Wubing's lineage, and they can only rely on exchanging internal elixirs from demon beasts. However, Fan Wubing's fleet sets sail only once every two years, so opportunities to hunt for internal elixirs that can be exchanged for medicine are also rare.

  Everyone continued searching and cut down all the surrounding pampas grass, but still didn't find any trace of Leng Yanbei. However, they did discover a second piece of Cold Jade.

  "Sir, this might be a jade vein!" Bai Qi reminded Fan Wubing.

  "If it's Jade Pulse, there must be Cold Rock Clams. Everyone, let's work hard and search slowly." Fan Wubing gave the order. If he had known that the inner abyss was so rich, he wouldn't have waited until today to take action.

  Everyone is excited, looking for the true dragon to hunt and kill, but this goal is a bit dangerous. Even with an immortal sitting in town, it's still the case. Now excavating jade marrow doesn't involve any risk at all.

  Bai Qi suddenly said: "These cold jade, since the quality is not high, I want to make some small ornaments, do you think it's possible?"

  Fan was not surprised, but still nodded in agreement. He knew that Bai Qi was only at the Hua Shen stage of cultivation, and among these cold jade, apart from Yu Suo, there were some that could be used by Bai Qi. It was just that he didn't want to waste time, so he hadn't specially collected them separately.

  Bai Qi turned around and left, returning to the first piece of Cold Jade. He took out the Moon Wheel Sword Maru and cut all the Cold Jades into a size of one zhang square, storing them in his Spatial Ring.

  He cut and probed with his divine sense, only discovering a hollow after cutting dozens of feet deep.

  In the hollow, however, was a liquid jade marrow that could be taken directly and had already approached the quality of immortal jade. But what Bai Qi wanted was not this, he felt that there was life under the cold jade. He simply cut out the several-meter-square liquid jade marrow and put it into the demon space.

  It was almost at a depth of over 20 zhang when Bai Qi's divine sense finally detected something. In the lowest layer of the cold jade, there appeared large pieces of fossils.

  These fossils are the transformed Cold Rock Beasts. However, unlike other demon beasts' fossils, the pearl within the Cold Rock Beast's fossil still emits a life force.

  Bai thought to himself, should he give away half of the sect's secrets? That would be too much of a loss. Anyway, no one knew about these ancient relics, so it was better to benefit himself.

  He had no feelings for Jin Ao Island, and most of the benefits were given to Fan Wu Bing, thanking him for taking care of Zhan Bu and Zhu Guo. However, he couldn't accept letting him send half of these hundreds of cold rock fossils to Men's faction.

  The crescent moon sword carefully cut out those few hundred small cold rock shells, which required skill. Although the shell of the cold rock shell had turned into a fossil, it was still difficult to fly with a sword, and Bai Qi had to cut along the outer shell to avoid attracting attention.

  There were a total of 470 fossilized Cold Rock Clams, carefully cut out by Bai Qi and stored in the mysterious space. As for the other cold jade, Bai Qi had it stored in his spatial ring, so he wasn't worried about anyone discovering anything.

  These cold-rock clams' pearls can at least refine one-tenth of them into Xian symbols, and the rest can be refined into Dao symbols.

  When Bai Qi was about to leave, he suddenly felt a movement in his heart and turned back to look. He saw that the place where the cold jade had been cut off revealed black rocks, which were also some kind of fossil. There were glittering gold-like spots inside.

  Bai Qi's divine thoughts dispersed, and he clearly saw the true body of this fossil, which was a hundred-zhang-long Jiaolong.

  This dragon is not a true dragon, and its calamity number is quite frightening. Basically, there are no achievements of true immortals. Unless it transforms into a true dragon form. This dragon's fossil has only three reverse scales under its neck, which is already at the level of a terrestrial immortal. After passing through another layer of calamity numbers, leaving only two reverse scales, it becomes a true immortal. If there is only one reverse scale left, it belongs to the divine dragon category.

  The value of this dragon fossil is not small, but Bai Qi can't take it away quietly. He had to send a message to Fan Wubing: "Brother Fan, come quickly, I have made a huge discovery!"

  Fan Wubing rushed over at the sound, and everyone subconsciously used their divine sense to explore after seeing the black rock. Each person was shocked beyond words. Because fossils of this level of Jiaolong were extremely rare, basically, a Jiaolong of the Earth Immortal level would definitely be summoned into the Dragon Palace, and its corpse wouldn't be circulated outside after death.

  "Uncle, how does this count?" Fan Wubing asked aloud.

  "That small cultivator said: 'It's not a living thing, it doesn't count as part of the hunting range, it belongs to you.'"

  "What are you waiting for? Everyone get to work. Bai Qi, divide this fossil material into ten portions, and you can choose three of them." Fan Wubing immediately settled the distribution of the fossils.

  Bai Qi knew that generally speaking, Fan Wubing would take three tenths, he himself would take out three tenths, and give the immortal three tenths. The remaining one tenth was for the other cultivators. Although it was also a loss for him, according to the rules of Jin Ao Island, Fan Wubing had already been specially taken care of.

  A group of Qi Refiners suddenly became like farmers in a field, frantically digging. Bai Qi also joined in, on this dragon's body, he could get three portions, which was already satisfying. What he wanted wasn't much either, mainly those three reverse scales, which had great use.

  Jade stone refined into a dragon symbol, indeed powerful and majestic. However, the true dragon symbol is actually made from the inverted scales of a real dragon during its harmony period. This is a secret passed down by the Azure Emperor, unknown to many people.

  Bai Qi wants to refine a symbol dragon that can be used infinitely.
