Chapter 793 - 787: Many Gains, Envy-Inducing
It seems that advancing too quickly also has its downsides!
Qin Feng thought to himself, feeling somewhat smug yet slightly troubled.
Sure, rapid cultivation might make others envious and satisfy oneself!
However, at a lower realm, one also inadvertently misses many opportunities.
If he hadn’t already achieved the Dharma Image before coming to this world like an ordinary disciple following his Sect on an expedition, he certainly would have had the chance to integrate this golden giant python, formed purely of gold, into his Lifebound Spiritual Snake, possibly giving birth to very unique skills for the Ruyi Golden Snake and further enhancing its defense.
After all, the body of the golden giant python is no ordinary gold; as a monster that has lived for thousands of years, its body has also been tempered by Spiritual Power for thousands of years, and its current strength is absolutely no less than any Spiritual Treasure, even suitable as material for refining Immortal Artifacts.
Having such refined Golden Qi infused into its body, the defense of the Ruyi Golden Snake would inevitably be hard not to improve!
Moreover, the golden giant python only has a very special background, and in terms of bloodline succession, the Ruyi Golden Snake ranks much higher than the golden giant python, so the integration would not be too greatly affected; it would only transfer some characteristics of the golden python’s metallic body to its scales and skeleton, thereby enhancing its physical resistance and granting it the golden giant python’s ability to transmute objects into gold!
That’s right, the innate skill of the golden giant python is transmuting objects into gold.
However, this is a name Qin Feng gave to the divine skill; he does not actually know what the inherited skill of the golden giant python clan is originally called.
He only knew that this fellow could emit golden light, and everything subjected to its golden divine light would turn into gold, a rather magical ability that intriguingly mirrors Medusa’s talent from the Greek God Realm to petrify opponents into stone!
This was much more potent than the common “transmute objects into gold” tricks that many Loose Cultivators use to deceive ordinary people while travelling around the world.
Because apart from those with Great Power above the Creation Realm who could manipulate the origin of objects at will with Creation Energy, even Immortals specializing in the Gold Element Path needed to achieve Proving Dao Immortality before they could use the Power of Laws to turn stone into gold.
As for the common street trick of transmuting objects into gold, it was just an illusion technique to deceive people; once the Mana dissipated and the illusion failed, the objects would revert to their original form.
Thus, innate abilities like those of Medusa and the golden giant python capable of altering the very origin of objects were extremely rare.
Typical innate abilities of Demon Beasts, Demon Beasts, and monsters generally involve various elemental attacks, with those touching on Origin Principles being exceedingly rare!
For this reason, Qin Feng felt quite regretful.
Of course, he wouldn’t express such regrets openly, as he would surely be met with disapproval from other Cultivators!
Others struggle for so many years just to advance one level, and here you are, having become a Heavenly Immortal in just a few decades, yet still complaining that your cultivation is too fast?
How could those old cultivators, who had painstakingly cultivated for thousands of years without encountering the opportunity to become immortal, endure this?
Therefore, Qin Feng merely sighed inwardly, and then placed the Golden Giant Python into the Demon Refining Pot. He then unleashed the Qiankun Giant Hand, suppressing the metallic creatures with an immense momentum that left them trembling with fear, before he captured them one by one.
Of course, the many cultivators and immortals present were not only Qin Feng interested in these metallic creatures. Any cultivator there was interested and wanted to subdue a few metallic creatures.
Whether it was to take them back to Biluo to sell as exotic items or to use the physique of these creatures as materials for refining various magical treasures and spiritual treasures, they were all rare treasures with considerable value!
Although Qin Feng had profound Dao cultivation, and had even slain an upper divine spirit in a previous battle and released his spiritual beasts to resolve a crisis for everyone, he could not possibly forbid others from collecting these metallic creatures.
However, unlike him who indifferently collected all types of metallic creatures without discrimination, others selected according to their needs and only subdued those that suited them!
For example, two minor sects affiliated with the Five Poisons Sect chose various strange insects from the metallic creatures because their sects raised poison insects. They aimed to try and cultivate these metallic strange insects into deadly creatures for combat.
Another example is a sect affiliated with Chaotian Palace, whose disciples thought the metallic monsters were imposing. Subduing one or two as riding tools would certainly be eye-catching. Perhaps taking a junior sister for a ride might even capture her heart, so they specifically targeted those imposing metallic monsters.
Some astute people not only valued the materials on these metallic creatures but also had connections with sects skilled in making puppets. They could sell these metallic creatures at a good price, so they specifically captured larger creatures with strong combat abilities that were easy to turn into puppets.
However, their means were limited, and they did not possess many treasures capable of subduing and containing these metallic creatures, which is why they were so selective. Even the immortals could not want everything, so all combined, they did not collect as many as Qin Feng alone!
So much so that at the end, apart from a few cultivators still slaughtering metallic creatures to collect them as artifact refining materials, most of the remaining cultivators and several immortals had already stopped. They watched Qin Feng continuously collect metallic creatures somewhat dumbfounded.
Ordinary Beast Taming Sect cultivators, even immortals, wouldn’t dare to collect demon beasts so recklessly. Whether they could subdue and control them was one thing, but whether they could fit them in the Spiritual Beast Bag or Spiritual Beast Space was another!
They grew curious in their minds, wondering just how many treasures this fellow had to dare to collect so many metallic creatures without fear of being counterattacked by them.
Upon careful consideration, everyone shook their heads.
Well, he really wasn’t afraid!
Looking at the army of spiritual beasts summoned by Qin Feng, it was clear he must possess a top-level space magical treasure. Otherwise, he couldn’t even fit those spiritual beasts, let alone these metallic creatures.
Moreover, everyone remembered the news from a few years ago from the Northern Domain, saying that the cultivator who had seized the Beiming Immortal Mansion was Qin Feng.
Beiming Immortal Mansion, crafted by the Kunpeng Clan, is a Cave Heaven World with vast internal space. Merely discussing the forty to fifty thousand metallic creatures he had taken, even ten times or a hundred times more could easily fit inside Beiming Immortal Mansion!
Unachieved divine beings entering the Cave Heaven World wouldn’t fear breaking out and escaping. Even if Qin Feng threw those metallic creatures inside without care, it didn’t matter as long as he guarded against them destroying the rare spiritual objects, immortal herbs, and spiritual medicines inside.
Qin Feng didn’t care what everyone thought. He enthusiastically collected metallic creatures everywhere, whether they were golden men or monsters, whether they flew in the sky or swam in the water, whatever he saw, he swept into the Demon Refining Pot.
With the Demon Refining Pot at hand, it was impossible for any creature to not be subdued.
Others thought that the Spiritual Beasts under his command were tamed after he subdued the leaders of the Demon Beast clans, as that was the usual method used by other Elders of the Beast Taming Sect.
Moreover, formations like the Demon Spider Legion and the Crow Army under Qin Feng had their leaders, and their method of subduing vast numbers of Spiritual Beasts seemed no different from that of other Elders.
Even if the Undying Qingluan commanded various types of Spiritual Birds, it could be attributed to the Undying Qingluan being a phoenix species capable of commanding birds, thus suppressing various Spiritual Birds.
Only the array of aquatic Spirit Monsters under the command of the Divine Turtle seemed somewhat more diverse, making it seem awkward to observe.
But judging by the size of the Turtle, comparable to a small mountain, one could tell its strength was extraordinary. Moreover, it appeared to have the bloodline of the Dragon Clan, so its ability to suppress different aquatic creatures wasn’t surprising.
Therefore, up till now, no one had doubted Qin Feng, or even if they harbored some doubts, they wouldn’t delve too deep into them.
After all, Qin Feng was deemed the Master of Qi Luck of the Biluo Great World. Even opposing sects like Taiyi Mountain currently dared not kill Qin Feng and ruin the plans of Biluo, weakening its Qi Fortune!
In the face of significant matters, weighing whether to proceed was essential.
Qin Feng was more than happy that the other Immortals stopped competing with him, and his movements became faster, collecting most of the still-living Metal Creatures from the battlefield, barely gathering around sixty to seventy thousand.
After all, this was still a battlefield, in addition to dispatching his Spiritual Beasts earlier, tens of thousands of cultivators and over two hundred thousand Plant Corps were involved in the melee, slaying nearly a hundred thousand Metal Creatures. Including those taken by other cultivators and Immortals, this amount he managed to acquire was quite good.
This was only because the Plant Corps hadn’t yet realized the benefits of these Metal Creatures, or known that they could exchange these Metal Creatures for Divine Weapons, Miracle Medicines, or Spirit Pills with cultivators. Thus, they merely watched the cultivators hunting without competing, otherwise, his gains would have decreased significantly!
But Qin Feng thought the Plant Gods weren’t foolish; probably before long, they would catch on, and the next time a battle erupted, they surely wouldn’t stand by idly!
Qin Feng glanced over the battlefield, seeing only a sparse number of Metal Creatures remaining and already surrounded by various sects’ disciples. He then stopped, instead leaping onto an intact large Flying Escape Treasure.
His Spiritual Beasts flew over in a line entering the Demon Refining Pot, many even clutching the bodies of Metal Creatures in their mouths, apparently having realized their master was collecting Metal Creatures and brought back these corpses as spoils of war.
As for the achievements of those Demon Immortals under him, they were even greater!
They actually brought back four Divine Corpses of Metal Divine Beings for Qin Feng!
Out of the twelve Golden Men, half had astonishingly fallen into Qin Feng’s hands, causing him to be extremely pleased, and he gave his Spiritual Beasts a grand commendation.
Especially the Divine Turtle, who wasn’t usually this brave. Today, having exerted such effort, Qin Feng generously praised it, otherwise if he dampened its enthusiasm, whether it would be this diligent again remained uncertain!
The other Immortals looked at Qin Feng with envious eyes.
This fellow’s individual war power was equivalent to a medium-sized Sect, and his rewards were not inferior to those of usual Sects!
The Immortals from small sects envied him, and even those from Major Sects were deeply envious.
Unfortunately, they were not Masters of Qi Luck, and aside from envying, they could do nothing!
In fact, even if they could produce a Master of Qi Luck, it would be useless because besides the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect, no other Sect would expend much effort on Spiritual Beasts. Nor could it be possible to subdue these ordinary strength monsters after reaching the Heavenly Immortal Realm.
Already possessing such powerful strength, what use was there in subduing these weak monsters?
In the eyes of other cultivators, even the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect wouldn’t need so many and such diverse Spiritual Beasts. If it were them, they’d be satisfied just subduing those in the Demigod Realm, making Qin Feng rather unique in this aspect.
After Qin Feng had all his Spiritual Beasts enter the Demon Refining Pot, the multitude of divine beings in the sky also flew over, landing in front of Qin Feng.
Sage Tianyang, the Sword Immortal from Chaotian Palace, bowed and said, “We are fortunate that Daoist Fellow Qin arrived just in time, otherwise we would have suffered a major loss this time!”
“You are too kind!”
Qin Feng responded with a beaming smile and returned the gesture!
In the past, upon encountering Tianyang, a senior figure in the Cultivation World, Qin would have had to salute and pay respects. But now his status was not only unique, but he had also cultivated to the Heavenly Immortal Realm. His status was not only equivalent to these millennially ascended seniors, but his position even surpassed the other’s.
After all, it was still uncertain how long it would take for Tianyang to Prove Dao and reach the Profound Immortal Realm, but Qin’s future was evident.
Putting aside the difficulty of reaching the Immortal Golden Immortal level in the future, at the very least, reaching the Profound Immortal Realm was extremely simple for him!
This was not only the belief of the cultivators of the Cultivation World, but Qin Feng could also distinctly feel it.
Especially his Body Refining Cultivation; after advancing to the Heavenly Immortal Realm, his Jade Bones had improved and were now thoroughly stabilized at the Profound Immortal Realm level of bones.
The bone’s immense ability to produce marrow and blood made Qin Feng feel his Physical Body Power strengthening continuously under the bones’ influence. In the long run, even if he relaxed his Body Refinement Techniques, the strength of his physical body would increase rapidly!
Nearby, several Plant Gods also thanked Qin Feng and then started praising his strength.
Even the Immortals from the Cultivation World were astonished by Qin Feng’s strength, not to mention these Plant Gods who hadn’t seen much of the world.
Moreover, these Plant Gods initially thought their expedition to the Flowing Gold World would definitely be an easy victory, yet this battle yielded a huge loss. Had Qin Feng not fortuitously been nearby, by the time Immortals and Upper Divine Spirits from other places came to support, it might have been too late!
