Chapter 274 - Divine Eye of the Void’s 2nd Stage (1/2)
Whoosh~
Zhuo Fan drifted around in the cave, waving his ring in every direction. He could feel joy bubbling out of him with every precious ingredient being tucked away in the safe confines of his ring.
He just came to Beast King Mountain and had already made a killing. [This is the best goddamn omen of all!]
Zhuo Fan cackled, his sound chilling the snake and human outside to the bone.
After he had made sure nothing was left unappropriated, Zhuo Fan began his search for Shaping Spring in earnest. His soul sense spread to every corner.
Then Zhuo Fan rushed deeper. Standing next to a hot spring, he watched the bottom of the spring in shock.
An all natural hot spring! It was ten meter wide and had hot water coming out from the wall in front. But what was truly amazing was the thick white layer at the bottom of it.
Zhuo Fan knew right away that this was Shaping Spring.
[Isn’t it a bit too much?]
Not even he had hoped to find so much of the underground miraculous treasure. Just a vial of the stuff could buy you a town!
He’d be happy with just a bowl. But he didn’t just get a bowl, he instead got a whole tub!
He could literally bathe in it.
Zhuo Fan shuddered from excitement. Thinking back on this mountain, he realized that only after billions of years of accumulation could have gathered so much of Shaping Spring.
There would’ve been even more of it if not for a certain snake sampling it.
[This is enough as it is. Anyways, one shouldn’t be too greedy. It’s bad for health.]
Zhuo Fan chuckled at his egotistical thinking. Any who heard him would’ve spat blood. [If you’re not greedy then the people in this world are all altruists.]
[Humph, greedy pig!]
Plop!
With a laugh, Zhuo Fan jumped right in. He sank until the Shaping Spring reached his waist.
Zhuo Fan quirked his eyebrows in glee.
[So deep!]
There was even more of the Shaping Spring than he thought was possible.
Zhuo Fan went right down to business. Taking out bottles and filling them with the stuff before throwing them into his ring.
Zhuo Fan’s face always sported that dumb grin throughout this ‘ordeal’, smiling from ear to ear.
[I hit pay dirt coming to this Beast King Mountain. It’s totally worth it even if I don’t get that Brimming Sacred Pill. Ha-ha-ha…]
Zhuo Fan’s laughter echoed throughout the cave.
Bam!
While he was hauling his booty, he touched upon something. It didn’t sound like a rock, but something hollow.
He groped around blindly before taking out a blue vial. Zhuo Fan looked at it curiously.
[Why is there a vial here? Is collecting baubles another one of the serpent’s hobbies?]
But the writing on it left him stupefied, “My luck can’t be that good, right? Did I actually stumble upon a Brimming Sacred Pill?”
Yes sir, the vial had those exact words on it. The cap even had a seal on it to not leak its fragrance and attract spiritual beasts.
Zhuo Fan started flipping it.
Fang Qiubai threw five such pills into Beast King Mountain at the start. This one must’ve flown through an underground river and chanced upon this place, with the snake totally oblivious of it.
Zhuo Fan sighed, [I’m so lucky even I’m scared.]
The odds of finding a Brimming Sacred Pill among Shaping Spring was a true close to zero chance.
But was he one to waste such an opportunity? Hell no! He threw it in his ring and resumed hauling his loot. It took him half a day of ‘grueling’ work to capture it all, down to the last drop.
The venomous serpent outside was swimming around, peeved. [Just what are you doing in my home? Couldn’t you at least leave some for me? Waaah~]
