Chapter 2300 - 1794: The Three Gluttons!

First update, asking for subscriptions and monthly tickets~~~~...

"Young Master Qin..."

Seeing Qin Fang rush out of the Spiritual Spring, Song Yi and the other two all gathered around, their faces more or less showing some concern… As for whether they were worried about Qin Fang, or worried about themselves, only they themselves knew.

"I'm fine, you guys keep cultivating..."

Noticing the three people's reaction, Qin Fang smiled and said indifferently.

He had stayed in the Spiritual Spring a bit too long, so it was no wonder these three would be worried…

This Spiritual Spring was unlike anywhere else. Just now, Song Yi tried it, and with his current Half-step Grandmaster Level cultivation, he'd almost been burst apart by the massive Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi frantically pouring into his body… and that was just from drawing in a tiny bit, completely incomparable to Qin Fang immersing his whole body in it.

But the more it was like this, the more it showed how perverted Qin Fang was… After their initial shock, the little schemes in the hearts of these three gradually faded away.

While Qin Fang had been away just now, Song Yi had also tried to remove the restriction Qin Fang placed on his body… but in the end he still failed, and he even felt that even if he fully stepped into the Great Grandmaster Level, he still wouldn't be able to break this restriction.

The reason was simple: the elixir Qin Fang had made the three of them swallow was a strange elixir he'd obtained in this Underground Palace, called the Corpse God Pill, specially used to control experts… As long as one's strength hadn't reached the Supreme Realm, there was no way to escape the control of the Corpse God Pill.

This kind of elixir used to be a secret elixir of the Corpse Demon Sect, one of the Six Sects of the Demon Gate…

The pill recipe had been lost hundreds of years ago, so naturally there shouldn't have been any more Corpse God Pills in the world… Qin Fang had only accidentally found a small gourd of Corpse God Pills, and had originally planned to use them to control a few of the old fogies from the Six Major Families.

But those old fogies were heavily injured, and their elemental energy had been damaged. Even if they didn't die in Qin Fang's hands, they basically didn't have long to live… Wasting Corpse God Pills on these people, Qin Fang naturally felt was far too unprofitable.

Rather than that, he might as well use them on Song Yi and the other two…

To be able to follow several Great Grandmaster Level Experts into the Underground Palace to search for treasure, they were already elites within their Families. None of them were particularly old, yet they all had at least Master Level Late-Stage cultivation. Their talent was quite good as well; if opportunities allowed, it wasn't impossible for them to break through to Great Grandmaster Level Experts.

For example, Song Yi had already stepped onto the grand avenue of attacking the Great Grandmaster Level… Once his cultivation was fully stabilized, he would be a veritable Great Grandmaster Level Expert!

In that case, with the Corpse God Pill in his grasp, Qin Fang would be equivalent to having an extra Great Grandmaster Level enforcer… Unless Song Yi didn't want to live anymore, he could only obey Qin Fang's orders and wouldn't dare disobey in the slightest!

"Yes..."

Seeing that Qin Fang really was fine, Song Yi and the other two returned to continue cultivating.

Song Yi was consolidating his cultivation and condensing Protective Gang Qi… while the other two tried to absorb as much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as possible, laying a solid foundation for their own assault on the Great Grandmaster Level!

"I can't waste time either, it's about time I cultivated..."

Seeing the three all go cultivate, Qin Fang naturally didn't want to waste time. He leaned against the edge of the Spiritual Spring and began closed-door cultivation.

At the upper level of the Spiritual Spring, although the Spiritual Energy was also dense and surging, it was relatively much gentler… Qin Fang's previously suppressed True Qi began to circulate rapidly, frantically drawing in the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi, then absorbing and converting it into his own True Qi.

This time, the vast elemental energy contained in Qin Fang's body became extremely quiet, still freely flowing through his meridians, skin, and Dantian, yet clearly separated from the True Qi, each not interfering with the other.

Qin Fang had no way to control such an extremely terrifying power, so he simply ignored it…

"After the reshaping of my constitution, the efficiency really has improved a lot..."

At this moment, Qin Fang finally felt how terrifying his flesh and meridians were after being baptized by that surging Spiritual Energy and elemental energy. His speed of absorbing Spiritual Energy was more than three times faster than before, and the capacity of his meridians and Dantian had expanded several times. Even the circulation speed of True Qi quickened greatly, and the conversion rate rose quite a bit as well!

"This is simply… a qualitative transformation!"

Facing such changes, Qin Fang was deeply shocked, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "Perhaps even Great Grandmaster Level Experts are nothing more than this..."

Since both the speed and efficiency of absorption had increased so much, Qin Fang naturally stopped holding back. He fully circulated the True Qi in his body, and even unleashed the power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome completely, striving to use his strongest state to absorb this Spiritual Energy.

At this moment, Qin Fang was like a miniature black hole, madly devouring the surrounding Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi. The layer above the surface of the Spiritual Spring was almost instantly sucked dry by him… leaving Song Yi and the others dumbfounded!

Fortunately, Qin Fang quickly reacted and stopped "stealing their business." He directly plunged his body into the water, going to absorb the even richer Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi below…

Buzz~~~

However, the Little Dragon that had been hiding inside Qin Fang's body all this time suddenly woke from its slumber at this moment. It clearly sensed the vast Spiritual Spring Spiritual Energy, exchanged a few words with Qin Fang, and immediately darted out.

"Hisssss~~~"

The Little Dragon swimming through the Spiritual Spring really felt like a dragon returning to the sea; it instantly became much freer, then opened its mouth and took a fierce gulp… The liquefied Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi all around rushed crazily into the Little Dragon's belly, and the spring water visibly shrank at a speed the naked eye could see…

Compared with the Little Dragon's Whale Suction-like speed, Qin Fang's speed of absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi could only be called tortoise-like…

Of course, even at this so-called "tortoise speed," he was still far, far stronger than Song Yi and the others… Anyway, the Little Dragon was eating meat while Qin Fang drank soup; both sides were absorbing at the rate they could endure, both constantly strengthening themselves.

Buzz~~

But just as Qin Fang and the Little Dragon were minding their own business absorbing Spiritual Energy, a massive suction force suddenly burst out from within Qin Fang's body, forcibly snatching a portion of the Spiritual Spring water right out of the Little Dragon's mouth…

"Eh, what's this?"

This strange force suddenly appearing also made Qin Fang feel extremely puzzled.

This force came from Qin Fang's heart area. The moment that spring water left the Spiritual Spring, it turned into dense vapor and surged madly toward Qin Fang's heart… It was as if there were a mouth waiting there; all the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that poured in was devoured without missing a single drop.

The problem was, this bizarre scene also left Qin Fang utterly shocked…

"Could it be… that egg?"

Thinking it over carefully, the only thing that came to mind, and the only thing worth suspecting, was that eerie, unfathomable egg Qin Fang had obtained on the Fifth Layer of the Underground Palace… That egg had mysteriously vanished at some unknown time; Qin Fang had tried searching for it, but never found a trace.

But now… a "mouth" suddenly "growing" near his heart, no wonder Qin Fang would think of that.

"No idea what the hell it is…"

Qin Fang couldn't help muttering curiously.

Judging from several signs, that egg was absolutely not simple… It had absorbed Qin Fang's essence blood and was lurking near his heart vessels, yet it wasn't rejected by the Little Dragon. That alone already spoke volumes.

Qin Fang even suspected that whatever creature was inside that egg, even if it couldn't quite match the Divine Beast Xiaolong, it probably wasn't much weaker… Otherwise, the Little Dragon would definitely have been the first to kick it out!

A Divine Beast's pride is extremely lofty; if it doesn't acknowledge you, then don't even think about coexisting…

"Forget it, whatever, just suck, suck away…"

Previously Qin Fang had used his Scouting Skill on that egg, but the result was just rows and rows of question marks; there was no way to investigate its origin or identity. And now… its intensity and appetite for absorbing Spiritual Energy didn't seem much inferior to the Little Dragon's.

Given that, Qin Fang no longer had the mind to care about where it came from… He had to absorb as much Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi as possible as quickly as possible. If he was any slower, these two "big-bellied gluttons" might just drain this Spiritual Spring dry.

As if understanding Qin Fang's intentions, the True Qi in his body went completely berserk, and his absorption speed stayed locked at the absolute limit, forcibly snatching food from the mouths of those two ferocious "big-bellied gluttons"…

Even the Azure Dragon Qi Cultivation Technique seemed to be provoked and joined the "food-snatching" war, helping Qin Fang's body seize that terrifying Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi…

Thus, Song Yi and the other two, sitting cross-legged on the shore, witnessed a scene they would never forget for the rest of their lives…

The entire Spiritual Spring seemed to have completely boiled over. Endless Spiritual Energy erupted from the spring, but before it had any chance to spill out, it was instantly devoured by the three "gluttons" that had appeared above the spring.

The three "gluttons" each occupied one position, forming a three-way standoff, and completely carved up this Spiritual Spring among themselves…

Three incomparably gigantic White Giant Dragons, formed entirely by the overflowing Spiritual Energy, coiled and churned above the spring. Their might was shockingly intense… Even Song Yi, a Quasi-Grandmaster-level Expert, felt an incomparably immense pressure; his entire vital aura flow was almost completely sealed, and the other two Grandmaster-level Experts were in an even worse state!

Yet these three massive White Giant Dragons were forcibly swallowed down by the gaping bloody maws of those three "gluttons"…

Although the three White Giant Dragons struggled and tried to escape, it was as if they were firmly locked in place and could only helplessly be gulped down by the three "gluttons." In the blink of an eye, they vanished without a trace.

And these three "gluttons" were, of course, the Little Dragon, the mysterious egg, and Qin Fang…

"Gulp~~~"

Seeing this scene was exactly what caused the faces of Song Yi and the other two to turn incomparably horrified. It was even more terrifying and shocking to them than seeing Superman or Ultraman… (To be continued.
