Chapter 2166 - 1660: Demon Blood Amber!

..."Finally... the Grandmaster Mid-Stage!"

After slightly adjusting his breath, Qin Fang's voice leisurely emerged.

Just moments ago, Qin Fang fully integrated the power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome within himself, using it as leverage to break through the shackles, stepping into the Grandmaster Mid-Stage... Although this was only a minor advancement, it marked a solid step forward towards the realm of the Great Grandmaster for Qin Fang.

Not only was there a breakthrough in his realm, but Qin Fang's strength also achieved a qualitative leap... Though the effect wasn't that obvious, Qin Fang could clearly feel the changes in his body, the kind of power that can control the entire situation was now at his grasp.

"The power of this Blood Martial Secret Tome is truly extraordinary..."

Feeling the changes in his own strength, Qin Fang couldn't help but marvel at the strength of the Blood Martial Secret Tome, a groundbreaking skill created by the Third Generation Overlord of the Demon Gate... It was a skill that even the Fourth Generation Overlord had to regard highly.

Merely by initially integrating this power and making it a part of Qin Fang's own body, it enabled him to cross from the Grandmaster-level Initial Stage to the Mid-Stage... Although this was merely a matter of accumulation, due to the high realm, greater demand, and other reasons, the power unleashed by the Blood Martial Secret Tome remains a terrifying number.

If speaking in terms of quantity alone, this power could even allow someone to begin from zero and reach the Grandmaster Level without obstacles...

"Advanced?"

When Qin Fang walked out, Qin Tiannan noticed it at first glance, immediately sensing the change in Qin Fang, showing considerable joy on his face...

Reaching the Grandmaster-level Tier, each advancement of a minor stage is extremely difficult. Having walked this path himself, Qin Tiannan naturally knew the difficulty involved. Now seeing his son Qin Fang, still so young yet steadily advancing to the Grandmaster Mid-Stage, he was naturally very pleased.

"Dad, what exactly is this Blood-Colored Jade Pendant?"

Qin Fang nodded, acknowledging this point, and then he took out this Blood-Colored Jade Pendant to ask.

This Blood-Colored Jade Pendant activated the latent bloodline power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome within Qin Fang's body, but it also piqued his curiosity because he was startled to find that his Scouting Skill could not discern the material of this pendant.

"This is Demon Blood Amber..."

Regarding his own son, Qin Tiannan naturally wouldn't hide anything and directly revealed its origin.

"Hiss~~~"

Upon hearing this term, Qin Fang couldn't help but take a deep breath, simultaneously understanding why his Scouting Skill was ineffective against this pendant.

"This is actually the legendary Demon Blood Amber!!! Could it be..."

Qin Fang's astonishment was undeniable, and his gaze at the Blood-Colored Jade Pendant became even more shocked, muttering especially when something came to his mind.

Demon Blood Amber is an exceedingly rare treasure, accurately speaking... such things have always been rare throughout history, almost considered mythical artifacts.

Moreover, it solely belongs to the Blood Demon Sect!

Or to be precise, it solely belongs to the top experts who have cultivated the Blood Demon Divine Art of the Blood Demon Sect...

The world knows that when the eminent monks of the Buddhist Sect pass away, their bones can be cremated to obtain a Shariputra. Qin Fang has such a Shariputra in his hand, which is essentially the essence of the monk's entirety of Buddhist teachings and divine skills, a product of achieving a peak state in both mind and body.

However, very few people know that experts from the Demon Sect can also produce similar treasures. This Demon Blood Amber is akin to Shariputra, even more precious and rare!

And now, this piece of Demon Blood Amber could be used to activate the power of the Blood Martial Secret Tome... Naturally, Qin Fang would associate it with certain thoughts because there are indeed very few masters in the Blood Demon Sect capable of producing Demon Blood Amber.

Not only are there few, but they are exceptionally rare... The requirement for strength is extremely high, and even Supreme Realm experts might not necessarily produce Demon Blood Amber. Only those who surpass the Supreme Realm are almost guaranteed to produce Demon Blood Amber.

However, such experts are truly too scarce, and those with the strength who are also greatly connected to the Qin Family and closely linked to the Blood Martial Secret Tome... Summarized, it seems that only one person fits the requirements.

That would be... the Third Generation Overlord of the Demon Gate and Ancestor of the Qin Family!

However, these are merely Qin Fang's personal speculations, and he hardly dares to believe them...

After all, if this were truly a relic of the Ancestor of the Qin Family, the manner in which the Qin family descendants treat it seems quite unfilial... Of course, solely in terms of the effect of this Demon Blood Amber, it could indeed be considered otherwise.

"Indeed, this is the Demon Blood Amber left by our Ancestor of the Qin Family... Our branch has only this one piece!"

For the question in Qin Fang's mind, Qin Tiannan gave a definite answer. This piece of Demon Blood Amber indeed came from that Ancestor of the Qin Family, who was also the Third Generation Overlord of the Demon Gate...

"Could it be that there are many pieces of Demon Blood Amber?"

Qin Fang only knew that this Demon Blood Amber was extremely precious and very rare, but how many pieces a Blood Demon Sect peak expert could produce at one time was unknown... It might be akin to the Buddhist Sect, or perhaps not.

"It's said that there are six pieces in total..."

Qin Tiannan nodded and said, "However, over the years, the one truly remaining in the hands of our Qin Family members might only be this piece..."

Since the demise of the Ancestor of the Qin Family, the family has faced numerous calamities. Once a flourishing martial family, it has utterly declined and nearly faced extinction. Naturally, this Demon Blood Amber has also gradually been lost.

"If you're lucky in the future, you might be able to recover one or two pieces... Although it seems fragile, it's actually hard to break it!"

Qin Tiannan knew that Qin Fang's luck had always been good and couldn't help but tease him.

Qin Fang smiled lightly, not overly concerned...

However, he was quite impressed with Qin Tiannan's latter statement. This Demon Blood Amber is incredibly solid; it's nearly impossible to completely destroy it. Even when using the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword to scratch it, it only left a superficial mark.

The scratches on this piece of Demon Blood Amber were almost all made with a sword... This made them seem exceedingly random, yet they did not damage the material of the Demon Blood Amber itself, allowing it to be passed down from generation to generation!

This aspect is similar to the Shariputra... An item that even fire cannot melt is naturally very tough, though the average person might not realize this and assume it's very fragile. Qin Fang had tried using the Shariputra before and knew it wasn't easily destroyed.

Of course, if some highly formidable experts were determined to destroy it, they could do so with some effort.

"Our Ancestor of the Qin Family's Demon Blood Amber is very special. Apart from those of our Qin Family bloodline, others would be killed by the magic blood restriction inside... So, these pieces of Demon Blood Amber should still be around!"

Qin Tiannan added another remark, which also served as a reminder for Qin Fang.

The Ancestor of the Qin Family had apparently anticipated the ambitions of certain individuals. Even after death, a restriction remains within the Demon Blood Amber, ensuring that those who rashly use the magic blood to practice would face a dire fate.

Qin Tiannan even speculated whether the Ding Family's hatred for the Qin Family might be because their Ancestor had suffered greatly due to the Demon Blood Amber...

"Amongst the vast sea of people, how difficult it is..."

Yet, there are only six pieces of Demon Blood Amber; excluding the one in Qin Fang's possession, there are five pieces scattered outside. Most of the Qin Family members have already died, and the inheritance has been interrupted, making it incredibly difficult to find the Demon Blood Amber again.

"However, perhaps the Blood Demon Sect might have..."

The Ding Family has killed Qin Family members several times, seizing numerous treasures. It's likely they wouldn't have spared the Demon Blood Amber either. Although they cannot use it for cultivation, it has other uses, and at the very least, it could be kept as a trophy.

Therefore, while it might not be easy for Qin Fang to find the other pieces of Demon Blood Amber, the possibility of the Ding Family of the Blood Demon Sect possessing the Qin Family's Demon Blood Amber is very high...

"You rascal..."

Noticing the smile on Qin Fang's lips, Qin Tiannan immediately understood and looked at Qin Fang with some helplessness, saying, "For now, don't target the Ding Family..."

"That family's heritage is on par with ours. After all, they produced a Family Head who became an Overlord of the Demon Gate. Although they suffered greatly under your grandfather, it only hurt them deeply without shaking their foundation! With decades of rest and recuperation, they probably have recovered to a great extent..."

Even with his Great Grandmaster Level cultivation, Qin Tiannan dared not confront the Ding Family people. Qin Fang's current strength was far inferior to Qin Tiannan's, making him even less qualified... Nevertheless, confrontation would not only fail to achieve the intended goal but would also expose Qin Fang to the Ding Family.

"I understand! I won't be so reckless..."

Qin Fang smiled and agreed.

Striking the Ding Family was inevitable, but a gentleman's revenge can wait ten years. With the years that have passed, Qin Fang won't rush into it... Anyway, he needs time to breakthrough to the Great Grandmaster Level, and ultimately the Supreme Realm, at which point he can exact all his revenge!

"You decide for yourself; I won't interfere anymore... When you have time, remember to visit the Qin Family's ancestral graves!"

Qin Tiannan chose not to meddle too much with his son, Qin Fang. Qin Fang had already made his way step by step from the hardships to his current position. Even under perilous situations like Devil's Island, he managed to escape with ease, saving Qin Tiannan along with him. Future challenges would naturally not fully hinder him either.

If he persistently obstructed him, it might instead hold him back, which would be counterproductive! (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you're welcome to visit Qidian (qidian.com) and cast your recommendation votes and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
