In the following days, Qin Yu tried to heal his Dantian. Unfortunately, the hole in his Dantian couldn't be healed. He could only wait until he became an official disciple of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect and see if he could obtain any elixirs to heal his Dantian.
Because of his identity as an outer disciple, Qin Yu was greatly restricted. He couldn't enter the inner mountains of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect, nor could he enter the library. He had no choice but to put aside his original intention of finding out more about the Great Devil Tribe.
With nothing to do, Qin Yu tidied up the items in his spatial ring. He looked at the Heaven's Decree, Ominous Blade, and the horsetail whisk. Qin Yu had to admit that he was a little worried about putting these precious items in his spatial ring. If a Dao Realm expert forcefully checked his spatial ring, these items would bring about a fatal disaster.
Therefore, Qin Yu decided to open up the Sea of Bitterness in the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect. It was rumored that the Sea of Bitterness was boundlessly mysterious and all-encompassing. According to the ancient records, many people had placed their treasures in the Sea of Bitterness. Qin Yu also had the same idea.
Moreover, if he guessed correctly, his mother seemed to have left something in the Sea of Bitterness. Qin Yu was filled with anticipation. Not only his father, Qin Yu also felt a sense of mystery from his mother. In the future, when he returned to Manjoo Zhanmu, he would definitely ask the fourth generation chief, Xu Muqing, about it.
As for the horsetail whisk, Qin Yu didn't plan to refine it. Back in the Heaven Dipper Pagoda, Qin Yu had already tried to refine it.
However, when he thought about how the horsetail whisk might be the Yin Yang Dao Lord's weapon in the past, Qin Yu didn't dare to try it. Now that he was in the Southern Barbaric Heavenly Region, there was no need for him to fear the Yin Yang Dao Lord. He would try to refine the horsetail whisk after his Dantian recovered.
Thinking back to the Yin Yang Bone in his body, Qin Yu felt helpless. If he had known about the sudden change in the Great Devil Realm, he wouldn't have refined the Yin Yang Bone so easily. However, things had already come to this, and Qin Yu didn't think too much about it. Moreover, the four stars were vast and boundless, and he had the Heaven Concealing Art. It wouldn't be easy for the Yin Yang Dao Lord to find him.
Instead of worrying about Yin Yang Daolord, Qin Yu was more worried about Chasing Famine. This fellow had terrifying experience and profound knowledge. He also had countless secrets. It was only a matter of time before he rose to power. He would definitely make a comeback in the future.
Therefore, Qin Yu had to be on guard. He couldn't help but feel regret. If he had known earlier, he would have extinguished him.
Qin Yu's thoughts were complicated. Just as his divine sense was about to withdraw from the dimensional ring, he inadvertently caught sight of an item. Qin Yu raised his eyebrows and waved his right hand. The item flew out of the dimensional ring and landed in front of him.
It was an oval-shaped stone about the size of a water tank. Although the surface was charred black, there were many fiery red cracks on it. It looked very strange.
"Strange, why did it change color?" Qin Yu looked at the stone suspiciously.
Speaking of this stone, it was time to talk about Chasing Famine. Back then, when he was escaping from the sea of lava, Chasing Famine suddenly counterattacked and sent Qin Yu, who was about to escape the sea of lava, back into the sea of lava.
Unfortunately, he had crashed into a huge rock. If it hadn't been for this huge rock preventing Qin Yu from sinking further, he would have been buried in the terrifying sea of lava.
Speaking of which, it was also a coincidence. After Qin Yu's fierce collision, the huge rock had shattered, revealing this stone. At that time, this stone was fiery red and exuded the power of fire.
At that time, Qin Yu thought it was a Fire Spirit Stone, so he didn't hesitate to throw this stone into his dimensional ring. After waking up, Qin Yu had forgotten about this matter. He didn't expect that when he took it out now, this stone would actually change its appearance.
"It's not a Fire Spirit Stone?"
Qin Yu frowned. When he first saw this stone, he was excited. After all, a fire spirit stone the size of a water tank was as rare as a phoenix feather or a qilin horn; its value was immeasurable. This was also the reason why Qin Yu didn't forget to bring this stone with him in a time of crisis.
But now, this top-grade Fire Spirit Stone had suddenly turned pitch black, causing Qin Yu to be stunned.
"It's not a Fire Spirit Stone?
Could it be some kind of fire beast egg? "Qin Yu looked at the big black stone in front of him and carefully examined the fiery red cracks on it. He was full of doubts.
After pondering for a moment, Qin Yu's divine sense probed the big black stone, but he didn't find any signs of life. Qin Yu squatted down and pressed his face against the black stone, listening for a moment.
Peng peng!
Peng peng!
What made Qin Yu's heart tremble was that he could actually hear the faint sound of a heartbeat coming from the big black egg.
"What's going on?
Is this big black stone really some kind of fire beast egg?
But why can't I feel any life force from it? "
Qin Yu frowned. If this really was some kind of fire beast egg, then he should be able to feel life force from it.
Thinking back to the ancient books he had read in the past, Qin Yu bit his index finger and squeezed out a few drops of blood, dripping them into the fiery red cracks on the big black egg.
The blood sank into the fiery red cracks and actually quickly disappeared, as if it was being absorbed.
Then, Qin Yu squeezed out a few more drops of blood, but they were all instantly swallowed up. Finally, Qin Yu simply pressed his index finger against the cracks.
"Suck!"
Qin Yu sucked in a breath of air. He felt the blood in his body rush into the cracks like a torrential river.
In less than three breaths of time, Qin Yu felt his entire body weaken. In fear, he struggled to withdraw his right hand. Looking at his arm that was almost sucked dry, and then looking at the big black egg, Qin Yu was amazed.
"What kind of fire beast egg is this?
It actually needs blood essence to nurture it? "
Qin Yu was shocked. He could vaguely feel that this big black egg was extraordinary, but he didn't know if someone had intentionally placed it in the sea of magma.
After pondering for a long time, Qin Yu placed the big black egg in his storage ring. He planned to study it after he became an official disciple.
Time passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day, the once-a-year competition began.
Although it was called a competition, it was actually very simple. It was just beating a war drum. If one could beat it three times, they would more or less become an official disciple. To Qin Yu, this was as easy as flipping his hand. However, Qin Yu didn't perform very well, and he only beat it five times.
Teng Shan's strength was not bad, and he also beat it four times. Without a doubt, the two of them easily rushed out of the encirclement and became official disciples of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect.
Although they were the lowest ordinary disciples, Teng Shan was still very excited. After all, after becoming an official disciple, they would be able to cultivate the top cultivation techniques of the Hundred Refinement Ancient Sect!
At the same time!
Somewhere in the northern part of the Southern Barbarian Heavenly Region, there was a towering mountain that pierced through the sea of clouds. The mountain emitted a dense light and looked very mysterious.
On this day, an ancient sect in the Southern Barbarian Heavenly Region was recruiting disciples. Accompanied by an ancient voice, tens of thousands of youths who had been waiting at the foot of the mountain rushed along the winding road, trying to reach the top of the mountain as soon as possible.
However, what was frightening was that the mountain seemed to be a huge formation. Most of the youths who rushed forward after reaching a certain height all fell to the ground and died.
Along the way, there were very few youths who could reach the top.
Among them, there was a youth who caught everyone's attention. Even the experts of the ancient sect noticed him.
Unlike the others who were struggling to advance, this youth was strolling leisurely. His steps were steady as he walked along the road. It was as if the formation on the mountain was useless to him.
The higher they went, the more they attracted the attention of experts from various sects.
Under the gazes of tens of thousands of people, the youth easily reached the top of the mountain. At the top of the mountain, a stooped old man wearing a purple robe was waiting for the youth.
The old man's turbid eyes swept across the youth, and he said with an old voice, "Little friend, are you willing to take this old man as your master?"
