”Red-scaled Python? What is it?” After casting the Knot Golden Net, Junior Leopard withdrew his hands. There was a golden light flashing on the net. In the golden light, the talisman loomed and in the blink of an eye, the net shrunk to the size of a palm. The strange pythons caught in the net were swaying as if they had shrunk as well.
This was the magic of the Knot Golden Net. It was not only tight, but it also had spatial property. Although it was impossible to completely separate out independent space like the Space Division Skill, it had space inside itself. As long as it trapped something, it could shrink down to palm-size with the prey within. Thus, it was of some use.
”I don't know why these Red-scaled Pythons turn black, but they are definitely Red-scaled Pythons. Perhaps they stayed in the pool so long that they mutated!” Green Spirit said, ”They're not very strong spiritual creatures, but their blood is extremely precious. They were extinct in my time. I can't believe that there are so many here! How fortuitous!”
”Are they valuable? They're easy to catch!” Junior Leopard asked, sounding confused. It was common sense that the more precious things were, the harder they were to get, and the less there were. However, these black snakes were not only numerous but also not very strong. In the water, they might be able to reach the strength of Level Seven, but under the attack of Junior Leopard's celestial device, they had no chance to fight back.
”You idiot, it's because the Red-scaled Pythons are so easy to catch that they became extinct! They're not strong and their organs aren't so precious. Both the texture of their scales and their strength are low amongst spiritual creatures. Also, they're not good materials, only their blood has a singular use!”
”What kind of use?”
”Their blood can stabilize acupoints. Aren't you trying to detect and refine acupoints? With this, you can yield twice the result with half the effort in refining acupoints!”
”Really?” Junior Leopard was pleasantly surprised. Seeing a few black snakes coming out from the bottom of the pool, he raised the Knot Golden Net and tried to cast it again.
”You don't need so much!” At this point, Green Spirit said, ”It's enough now! If you have time, you might as well think of how to remove the thing on the bottom. I can feel that this Meteorite Metal not only contains the kindling of Nanming Ignis but is also a super material, which is much more precious than the kindling of Nanming Ignis!”
”No wonder it's so heavy!” Junior Leopard muttered, glancing at Cao Xuetang.
Cao Xuetang had come over at this time, and his complexion was much ruddier than before. Looking at the Meteorite Metal at the bottom of the pool, he was in a bit of a quandary. Suddenly, a dozen black snakes were drilled from the bottom of the pool. They feared Junior Leopard's Knot Golden Net and they did not dare to come forward. However, they went round and round the Meteorite Metal, which made it hard for Junior Leopard and Cao Xuetang to act.
Although the Knot Golden Net was good, it was only a Psychic Celestial Device and it had a limited capacity. The black snakes that had just been caught did not fill it, but it was almost full. There were so many Red-scaled Pythons around the Meteorite Metal that perhaps he might not be able to catch them all. What was more, the ones that had been caught might escape. Then that would be a bit of a pyrrhic victory.
Moreover, due to the high water pressure at the bottom of the pool, his powerful Poison Cold Shield was more than enough to defend, but it was not powerful enough to attack.
”Brother Cao, you stay here for a moment. I'll go and look at that thing and see if there's any chance of taking the kindling of Nanming Ignis back.”
”Then please!” Cao Xuetang was self-aware, knowing that he could only protect himself now and had to rely on Junior Leopard to get the kindling of Nanming Ignis. He took a cyan wooden bottle from his inner pocket and handed it to Junior Leopard. ” This is a Wood Spirit Bottle, it's specially used to collect the kindling of various types of spiritual fire. If you get the kindling, use the bottle!”
”Okay!”
Junior Leopard thought that the cyan wooden bottle in his hand felt a little heavy. A fine, lingering heat flow passed from the Wood Spirit Bottle to his body. The Internal Qi in his body seemed to be greatly nourished as a myriad of thin and dense Internal Qi tentacles stretched out to entangle his tendons and meridians. At once, Junior Leopard felt unspeakably comfortable. If he had not been at the bottom of the cold pool, he would have sat down on the floor to regulate his breathing.
”What a waste, what a waste! It's made of Heavenly Evergreen, the same material as the green lamp's wick. To think that it was only used to refine a Psychic Celestial Device. It's too much, too much!”
”Shut up!” Junior Leopard gave a hiss and continued, ”You just said that it's made of Heavenly Evergreen. The green lamp is also made of the Heavenly Evergreen and its grade is higher than the Wood Spirit Bottle. Why can't the green lamp nourish the Internal Qi?”
”It's not the green lamp that can't nourish the Internal Qi, but it has lost its intelligence. Additionally, the Tusita Fire was taken by you. Hence, it can't produce the same effect as the Wood Spirit Bottle.”
”You mean that if I return the Tusita Fire...”
”Forget it, it's just Heavenly Evergreen. Wood can promote fire. It produces such an effect because of the fire property of your Internal Qi. It will work once or twice. If it's used too many times, it will be useless!” Green Spirit sneered and added, ”Even if you sleep with this bottle in your arms all day long, it won't necessarily be good for your Internal Qi. Be honest. Don't be greedy! What matters most to you right now are two things. The first one is refining acupoints, and the second one is forging a Pure Yang Celestial Device. A Pure Yang Celestial Device will not only nourish your Internal Qi, but it will also nourish your body and soul. It's much better than the Heavenly Evergreen!”
”Okay, okay, I'll listen to you and not be greedy!” Junior Leopard helplessly nodded. Then with a flash, he moved towards the Meteorite Metal.
Seeing that Junior Leopard was coming, the surrounding Red-scaled Pythons all approached him. However, just like the beginning, after a few black snakes were defeated by Junior Leopard's Poison Cold Shield, the Red-scaled Pythons, which had some spiritual intelligence, dared not to come anymore. Junior Leopard finally arrived next to the Meteorite Metal and slowly began to check.
Gently stroking the Meteorite Metal, Junior Leopard could feel that it was radiating heat. Even though it was in the cold pool, it was not affected by the icy chill of the bottom of the cold pool. He tapped on it and heard a muffled sound. Then he pushed it hard, but it didn't move.
”It's really heavy!” Junior Leopard thought. He gathered his Qi into his Dantian and sank to the bottom of the cold pool. The silt at the bottom of the pool was thick and soft. He stepped on it and sank half a foot deeper.
”I really need to be careful. If I really get stuck in the silt, it'll be a real hassle!” Junior Leopard thought to himself, ”But this will make my lower body more secure!”
Standing firm at the bottom of the pool, Junior Leopard put out his hand and began to push the Meteorite Metal. Now that his lower body was firmly in place, something changed— the Meteorite Metal moved a little.
Junior Leopard's strength was vast; otherwise, he would not have been able to wield two iron hammers of nearly 1,000 kilograms.
If it hadn't been in the pool, Junior Leopard would have hit it with his hammers. Unfortunately, under the immense pressure of the water, even given his power, there was no way to wield two big hammers. He had to find a way to get it out of the cold pool first.
”It's too big and too heavy. It's not easy to move it out!”
Junior Leopard wanted to put it in the separate space with the Space Division Skill, but when he saw Cao Xuetang was looking at him, he dismissed the idea. He was not afraid of the Space Division Skill being unable to do the same thing as a Space Ring, for dividing an independent space in order to store objects was only a subsidiary function of the Space Division Skill. Moreover, the Space Division Skill had other wonderful functions and Junior Leopard believed that even Individual Immortals and Genuine Immortals would be enchanted if they knew of these.
If one reached the Individual Immortal Realm, he would have certain control over the space without learning the Space Division Skill. However, spatial special techniques, like the Space Division Skill and the Three Realms Division, could make an Individual Immortal or a Genuine Immortal become an expert in space. These were two completely different concepts. Green Spirit had already told him the key points very clearly. Thus, Junior Leopard would never let anyone know that he knew the Space Division Skill.
Since he could not use the Space Division Skill to take this Meteorite Metal, there was only one way to do it.
To push it forcibly!
The Meteorite Metal had already moved, so only a little more force would get it out of the silt. If only he could get it out of the silt, it would be alright. The water at the bottom of the pool was so buoyant that Junior Leopard was confident about getting the Meteorite Metal out.
But when he tried again, trouble came. With his great push, the Meteorite Metal moved more. But at this moment, a stream of black water came out of the bottom of the Meteorite Metal. An ice cold breath was passing through the Poison Cold Shield and straight into his body.
Junior Leopard was not surprised, but rather happy. The first thing he thought of, was that he might meet something good.
”It's the Earth Vein Evil. Is there Earth Vein Evil Qi?”
Over the years, he had been watching the Earth Vein Evil Qi. After all, he only mastered the Extreme Yang Heavenly Sword and half of the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. High-quality Earth Vein Evil Qi was hard to find, so it was difficult for him to completely master the Yin and Yang Heavenly Sword. Now suddenly, there was such a cold air, his reaction was certainly more expectation than a surprise.
”Black Devil Frost!”
Seeing the sudden appearance of the black water, Green Spirit screamed again. Maybe what happened today was really a surprise to him, so he was a bit dumbfounded.
