Chapter 185: Chapter 20 Leaving Spirit Water Island Again

Chapter 185: Chapter 20 Leaving Spirit Water Island Again

Leaving the valley, Fang Yun continued to head north.

Soon, he reached the valley where the metallic plants had been initially located.

Standing above the valley, Fang Yun looked down at the dark environment below, recalling the metal ore vein he had discovered there.

He touched his chin, beginning to form some ideas about the ore vein.

Thus, with a light leap, Fang Yun used his mana to wrap around himself and slowly float downwards.

Although he did not possess any flight spells, using mana for simple tasks was not a problem.

Descending into the valley, Fang Yun followed the same path as last time and entered a tunnel.

He quickly reached the cave where he had found the metallic plants on his previous visit.

In the dark environment, Fang Yun looked around the cave.

Then, the Five Elements Plants inside his body left his Dantian and appeared in front of him.

With a thought, the roots coiling around the Five Elements Plants pierced through the ground and drilled into the metal ore vein below.

The roots of the Five Elements Plants continuously extended downwards, constantly enveloping the underground metal ore vein.

After undergoing another evolution, the roots of the Five Elements Plants were still fine but much longer than before.

Quickly, they completely covered thousands of acres of land underground.

At this moment, Fang Yun also sensed the edge of the underground metal ore vein.

That is to say, the metal ore vein underground occupied an area of thousands of acres.

Although Fang Yun did not know how large a normal metal ore vein should be,

an ore vein occupying thousands of acres was certainly not small.

After covering it with the roots of the Five Elements Plants, Fang Yun urged the roots to completely absorb the metal energy inside.

Although this metal energy was just ordinary and not as active as the Gold Attribute Spiritual Energy,

with the Five Elements Attributes of the Five Elements Plants and their innate abilities inherited from the metallic plants, it was easy to gather all the metal energy.

As the metal energy slowly converged into a spherical shape on the branches of the Five Elements Plants, Fang Yun, relying on his strong mana, could already hear the noisy sounds coming from the distant cave.

Obviously, such a sphere of metal energy also had some attractiveness to the creatures in the darkness.

However, such movements were minimal compared to the commotion caused by the fruits condensed by the Five Elements Plants.

Fang Yun shook his hair lightly, the vines fell to the ground, and he then headed towards the entrance of the cave.

With the terrifying toxicity of the vines, it was impossible for these ordinary creatures to enter here.

Afterward, Fang Yun continued to focus on the Five Elements Plants.

As time passed, the sphere of Gold Attribute energy condensed on the branches of the Five Elements Plants gradually thickened,

forming a fruit the size of a fist.

As time went on, the fruit continued to shrink.

Inside, there was a faint flow of metallic liquid.

At this time, the Spiritual Insect hiding in Fang Yun’s clothes flew out, emitting an excited aura.

Clearly, the fruit at this stage already had some attraction to the Spiritual Insect.

Seeing this, a smile appeared on Fang Yun’s face.

It seemed that the evolution of the Spiritual Insect did not necessarily need the fruits of the Five Elements Plants.

The source of this c𝓸ntent is freewebnøvel.coɱ.

Thinking back, the fundamental reason why the Spiritual Insect evolved from an ordinary insect to the Spiritual Insect was by eating the fruits of the metallic plants.

Thus, although the fruits of the Five Elements Plants had some effect on the Spiritual Insect,

the most useful were still the fruits of the metallic plants.

Realizing this, Fang Yun had a clear idea for the evolution of the Spiritual Insect.

Before long, Fang Yun sensed that the metal energy underground was gradually being absorbed clean by the Five Elements Plants.

This fruit formed by the aggregation of metal energy gradually solidified, showing no changes.

This meant that the fruit formed by the aggregation of metal energy had reached its mature stage.

With a thought from Fang Yun, the fruit fell from the branch of the Five Elements Plants and flew into his hand.

At the same time, the roots of the Five Elements Plants began to retract, and the entire Five Elements Plants returned to Fang Yun’s Dantian.

At this moment, the Spiritual Insect, upon Fang Yun’s command, could not wait to pounce on the Metal Fruit.

Then it started to gnaw frantically.

As the Spiritual Insect chewed, a large amount of metal energy gathered on its body.

The golden glow on the body of the Spiritual Insect became denser and purer.

After consuming the fruit, the Spiritual Insect staggered as it flew up and burrowed into Fang Yun’s collar, falling directly into a deep sleep.

Fang Yun sensed the condition of the Spiritual Insect and felt relieved after finding nothing wrong.

Eating this fruit represented a significant evolution for the Spiritual Insect.

After all, it was the aggregation of all the metal energy from thousands of acres of metal ore vein.

Even though some energy had been consumed before, the remaining energy was still plentiful.

It was a pity that even if the Spiritual Insect underwent another evolution, how much combat power it could produce was still uncertain.

Most importantly, the energy of the Spiritual Insect itself was limited, and even though the converted metal possessed terrifying sharp attributes,

it could only target the enemy’s weaknesses.

However, it was not capable of playing an assault role.

Facing increasingly powerful cultivators, such a weakness in the Spiritual Insect proved to be very fatal.

In Fang Yun’s original plan, the Spiritual Insect was supposed to be a long-range attack method.

Similar to the function of a cultivator’s Flying Sword or Magic Artifact.

Vines are meant for close-range attacks.

The attack range generally does not exceed a kilometer, even if the length of the vines has exceeded this distance, but in Fang Yun’s plan, the vines are still more suitable within this attack range.

Moreover, considering the defensive properties of the Five Elements Plants themselves, as well as the possible means of close combat attacks.

Covering all forms of attack and defense, from long-range to close-range.

However, due to the inherent weaknesses of the Spiritual Insect, it has led to a lack of long-range attacking capabilities for Fang Yun.

Therefore, later the cone-shaped Spell was created as an alternative.

The reason for substituting the function of the Spiritual Insect with this cone-shaped Spell.

Is because this cone-shaped body can be controlled by Fang Yun’s mana.

It can, to a certain extent, exhibit its own robust mana attributes.

However, this cone-shaped body is ultimately a one-time use item and has its own undeniable weaknesses.

That is, it cannot continuously channel mana.

Therefore, Fang Yun never thought of giving up on the Spiritual Insect, instead, he has been thinking of ways to enhance its combat effectiveness.

So that it can play a significant role in the future.

However, at the moment there is no good solution.

Before, he had thought about refining the Spiritual Insect into a Blood Seal Magic Artifact.

But as a living entity, the Spiritual Insect is different from those plants.

Directly refining it into a Blood Seal Magic Artifact would likely kill the Spiritual Insect.

In that case, one might possess a powerful Magic Artifact during the Qi Cultivation stage.

But it would not be beneficial for future development.

It is precisely because of thinking about future possibilities that Fang Yun rejected this decision.

Trying to find another way to achieve mutual connectivity between the Spiritual Insect and his own mana.

In this regard, after 36 runes appeared on his panel,

Fang Yun felt a glimmer of hope.

Perhaps once these 36 runes reach Great Success or Perfect Realm, he could solve this problem.

However, to make these 36 runes reach Great Success or Perfect Realm soon, he needs to start finding ways to practice.

This is another troublesome matter.

As a Loose Cultivator, the lack of heritage is vividly demonstrated at times like these.

But there’s no choice, if one wishes to continue on the path of cultivation, no matter how difficult, one must keep moving step by step.

Fortunately, Fang Yun still has a lot of time now, and with the aid of Life Essence Qi in breakthroughs in cultivation,

He can slowly develop these methods.

After completing the evolution of the Spiritual Insect, there was nothing else for Fang Yun to do on the island.

After staying a few more days, amid the persuasion of the elders and Fang Kangsheng, Fang Yun finally left Spirit Water Island by boat.

After leaving the island, Fang Yun finally decided to continue planting those Electric Sword Grass.

As there was nothing else to do for the time being anyhow.

Planting more Sword-toothed Grass until they mature, he would be able to obtain more Life Essence Qi, which itself is a very cost-effective move.

Moreover, although there are many inhabited islands near Spirit Water Island,

There are also many islands with harsh conditions beyond those.

These islands also lack Spiritual Energy, and even lack sufficient water, having only barren soil.

But these environments are not too much of a problem for him.

Thus, Fang Yun began to plant grass in circles outward from Spirit Water Island as the center.

Several months later, Fang Yun absentmindedly returned to a vast and boundless ocean.

Seeing dozens of ships fighting in the distance, and hearing the faint sounds of shouting and killing,

And feeling the significantly increased concentration of Spiritual Energy around,

He realized that he had left the barren archipelago.

Entering a region leaning towards the Cultivation World.

Months have passed, and the turmoil over this ocean has still not subsided.

The mutual hunting among cultivators has not stopped either.

Or rather, such matters have always existed, but Lin Family’s bounty ignited this powder keg.

Once such matters start, stopping them is not so easy.

Even if Lin Family stops the bounty now, those cultivators who have tasted the benefits will not cease their hunting.

Unless the number of cultivators in this region decreases to a certain level, such activities will gradually come to a halt.

Perhaps this is a certain natural selection process of this world.

Fang Yun glanced at the distant scene of the melee and then decided not to intervene.

Driving his small boat, he left this oceanic region.

So much time had passed, the Sword-toothed Grass he had planted before should now be ready for harvesting.

Now, he should look for the locations where he initially planted the Sword-toothed Grass and harvest them.

Thinking this, Fang Yun turned the boat and started purposefully heading towards that barren archipelago.

Although he no longer remembered on which islands he had planted those Sword-toothed Grass,

Given the numerous islands where he had planted Sword-toothed Grass during this period, encountering one of those islands and subsequently finding the others shouldn’t be too difficult.
