Chapter 2351 - 1845: Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon

Second update, asking for subscriptions, monthly tickets~~~...

"This Minor Kunlun Realm is much larger than that small island overseas..."

Qin Fang walked slowly towards the depths of the valley. His walking speed wasn't particularly fast, but definitely not slow either. However, as he walked, he realized that the scenery before him didn't seem to change much, and the area ahead was still very far away.

This confirmed that the Minor Kunlun Realm is very vast, with undulating mountains truly existing, which is quite astonishing...

If not for verifying certain conditions here, which differ greatly from the legendary Kunlun Secret Realm, he might have thought this place was the Kunlun Secret Realm!

This Minor Kunlun Realm is so large that not only can it accommodate one sect, but ten or even a hundred could reside here... The distant mountains stretch for hundreds of miles, and the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is quite abundant, enough to support the cultivation of tens of thousands of people without any issue.

Walking in the Minor Kunlun Realm, all sorts of mystical herbs can be seen everywhere. Although not every mystical herb is a spiritual medicine, and they might not all be used in medicine, they are evidently much better than those outside... If one were just to use them to concoct basic elixirs, then the medicinal materials here are practically everywhere.

Regarding this, Qin Fang was quite unrestrained, especially towards the medicinal herbs he greatly needed; he showed no mercy at all...

These herbs aren't young; ten or twenty years can only be considered as their infancy, while fifty or a hundred years barely make them worth Qin Fang's attention... The ones he picked were almost all of this level; those with lower years held no meaning.

"Using such materials to concoct Blood Replenishing Pills, Yuan Restoration Pills, Demon Blood Pills... will definitely elevate their quality by several levels!"

The quality of an elixir doesn't just depend on the alchemist's skills but also has a huge correlation with the materials used; the higher the quality of materials, the higher the quality of the elixirs will be...

It's like the Blood Replenishing Pill, the most basic elixir; with the same level of alchemy skills, using the ordinary materials can only produce a Blood Replenishing Pill with around 30 quality.

However, using herbs that are ten or twenty years old can lead to Blood Replenishing Pills with a quality of over 50.

If herbs of over fifty years are used, the quality of the elixir can reach 70 to 80 in appearance.

As for herbs over a hundred years old, the quality of the elixir can indeed reach over 100...

If one can gather herbs over three hundred years old, then what comes out isn't just an ordinary Blood Replenishing Pill but a Blood Yuan Pill, far stronger than typical Spirit Pills... A miraculous elixir that can revitalize the living, mending broken bones.

No matter how severe the injury, as long as a breath remains, taking the Blood Yuan Pill can immediately repair the flesh, eliminate the internal injuries... in a short time, one can regain mobility, and slightly longer, they can be lively again.

Of course, such potent elixirs are meant for experts with incredibly strong constitutions; ordinary people can't withstand such powerful medicinal effects... Not only would it fail to save them, but it might even lead to very horrifying consequences!

Qin Fang, being a strong figure capable of consuming Blood Yuan Pills, cautiously picked and stored these rare herbs over three hundred years old on his journey.

While spiritual medicines can survive exceedingly long years, ordinary herbs cannot... Rare exceptions may exist due to certain unique reasons, allowing them to live for three hundred years or even longer.

These herbs, even if ordinary, their effects aren't lesser than those of spiritual medicines, and a small fraction might even rival top-grade spiritual medicines, earning the title "Little Medicine King"...

However, such herbs are extremely scarce, even rarer than spiritual medicines... In this Minor Kunlun Realm, the abundance of spiritual medicines cannot be underestimated, as Qin Fang has already found a few, but hasn't seen a single Little Medicine King.

Just from this fact alone, one can imagine the value and rarity of such Little Medicine Kings...

Whoosh~~~

As Qin Fang ventured deeper into the Minor Kunlun Realm, he cleared out every potentially useful herb he could find, akin to the notorious "Three Policy" strategy, nearly digging three feet deep.

But just as Qin Fang was picking an herb, a green figure suddenly sprang from the grass, biting Qin Fang's arm before he could react... The sharp pain triggered Qin Fang, who instinctively swung and found it was a green serpent.

"Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon?"

Seeing the serpent, Qin Fang instinctively used a Scouting Skill on it, and the feedback results made him gasp involuntarily... The reputation of this serpent is indeed formidable.

"Unexpectedly, there's still a Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon alive here... Indeed, the era of this Minor Kunlun Realm is too ancient!"

Looking at the green viper biting him tightly and refusing to let go, Qin Fang could even feel its venom coursing through his veins... But Qin Fang wasn't worried; while terrifying, this serpent held no harm for him.

On the contrary, this serpent's existence only further confirmed the age-old history of this Minor Kunlun Realm for Qin Fang!

Previously, when Qin Fang ventured through the underground palace, he acquired quite a number of treasures. Aside from some elixirs, medicinal formulas, spiritual objects, secret techniques, etc., Qin Fang also found some ancient records.

These were records documenting rare flowers and exotic grasses, or miraculous creatures, somewhat resembling the Classic of Mountains and Seas from the ancient Dragon Country, yet somewhat different... Qin Fang referred to it as the Compendium of Exotic Creatures from the Continent.

Having read this Compendium, it was then that he learned the origin of the serpent before him...

Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon, just from its name one can tell it's absolutely a deadly creature. In distant ancient times, it was infamous for its ferocity. It is said that if such a poisonous serpent reached its ultimate growth, it could become akin to a Divine Beast Dragon.

Sadly, the number of such serpents was incredibly scarce to begin with, and later due to its potent venom killing countless people, it was listed among the top ten must-kill poisons in the Martial World. After centuries of hunting, the Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon eventually went extinct.

The Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon had exceptionally poor reproduction capability, and after such intense hunting, even those that survived by chance ultimately vanished due to the lack of kindred for procreation... This is a very proud viper; aside from its kind or higher-grade serpents, it would rather die than engage in reproductive behavior.

"Little guy, you'd best behave..."

Who would have thought, in this Minor Kunlun Realm, a Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon was found, albeit not yet advanced to a Spiritual Beast, indicating it's still a juvenile. Although its venom is already quite intense, it's harmless to Qin Fang.

Casually pinching the Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon at its weak spot, the little serpent immediately released Qin Fang's hand from its grip, staring fearfully at Qin Fang, its dark eyes darting as though contemplating its next move.

Unfortunately, faced with absolute strength, its pitiable intelligence is of little use... Qin Fang casually grasped its tail and swung it a few times, causing the Green Fulu Poisonous Dragon to collapse as if stricken by a severe illness, slumping weakly before Qin Fang. Another attempt to strike is out of the question; surviving would already be an accomplishment.

"Eh~~"

Suddenly, Qin Fang felt a piercing chill on his back, as if something extremely dangerous had locked onto him...

"Not good, there's danger!"

It had been a long time since Qin Fang felt like this. His aura instantly surged to its peak, and his body instinctively moved slightly.

Bang~~

At the moment Qin Fang sensed danger, a gunshot echoed through the valley!

The sound was loud, likely from a Desert Eagle, and surely a modified large-caliber handgun, with its current position not very far from Qin Fang...

At such a short distance, even a Great Grandmaster Level Expert could be killed by a powerful handgun like this if their Protective Gang Qi wasn't activated!

However, Qin Fang's reflexes were sufficiently fast, having responded beforehand. With a slight movement, he dodged the enemy's fatal blow, swiftly slipping into the surrounding bushes. Activating his Stealth Skill, he swiftly vanished from sight.

That man had already been ruthless, waiting helplessly wasn't Qin Fang's style. He immediately entered stealth mode, rapidly sneaking toward the direction from which the gunfire originated... Meanwhile, Qin Fang continually searched his mini-map for traces of the gunman's shadow.

The gunman was close to him. If he hadn't sensed and reacted early, there's over an eighty percent chance that bullet would have directly blown his head off... Qin Fang's vulnerabilities were few, but the head was undoubtedly one of them.

His actual combat prowess might not be weaker than a Great Grandmaster Level Expert, but he had yet to pass that critical threshold. Without the ability to condense Protective Gang Qi, he couldn't disregard bullets like a Great Grandmaster Level Expert.

Moreover, the gun used earlier was specially modified, significantly boosting its power. Even the bullets fired were modified high-explosive armor-piercing rounds... Even a Great Grandmaster Level Expert's Protective Gang Qi could only withstand one shot before shattering.

And before the Protective Gang Qi could rise again, the opposing gunman could shoot three to five more times... A peak-level gunman could even fire seven to eight times, enough to kill a Great Grandmaster Level Expert!

Qin Fang had no idea about the level of the gunman who attacked him earlier, but it's clear this person should be one of the mercenaries from the Fallen Angel Mercenary Group brought into this Minor Kunlun Realm by the Blood Crown Fox, and their personal strength is certainly above Grandmaster-level...
