"It seems that Ji Xiang is going to benefit from this …"
Looking at the extra Skyheart Sand, Qin Fang had a very bad smile on his face, as if someone was going to be unlucky.
This someone was undoubtedly Ji Xiang.
Qin Fang had just promised Ji Xiang to forge a pair of top-grade daggers from the Xuanshui Giant Python's teeth. If the Skyheart Sand was added during the forging process, the effect would be better.
He dared not say that he could forge a dagger comparable to the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword, but it should not be too far off …
This was also because Qin Fang would soon be able to use one of the Ten Great Divine Weapons. Otherwise, he might not be willing to waste the Skyheart Sand like this.
However, when Ji Xiang and the others followed him to Fusang, they lived a life of licking the blood on the tip of the blade and could lose their lives at any time. It was good to have more life-saving unique skills, so Qin Fang would not be stingy.
However, even though Qin Fang was not stingy, it did not mean that Ji Xiang did not need to be stingy. Qin Fang knew that this kid also had considerable power.
Perhaps he did not have much progress in martial arts, but he could still contribute in some other matters …
This was also a very helpless matter. Qin Fang's power was not bad in Long Province, but it was not good in Fusang, not to mention Monk Wukong and Song Qingshan.
Ji Xiang's family was a powerful force in the Golden Triangle, and they had some connections with many international underground tycoons. As long as this kid was willing to contribute, some things would become very easy.
Of course, Qin Fang did not expect Ji Xiang to contribute much. After all, he was only a junior of the family, and the resources he could obtain and use were limited …
"Continue to look. Maybe there will be more discoveries!"
After finding this piece of Skyheart Sand, Qin Fang's goal was considered to have been achieved, but this did not mean that he could give up looking for it.
The Skyheart Sand was a good thing. Not only did Qin Fang need it, but if it was thrown into the black market or the martial arts world of Long Province, there would definitely be a lot of people who would need it.
If he could get another piece, Qin Fang could even use it to do some business with those thousand-year-old sects and exchange it for some precious materials or medicines.
As he spoke, Qin Fang continued his search. However, his speed was faster than before, and he wasn't as meticulous as before.
This was mainly a matter of time. Qin Fang couldn't afford to waste any more time. He had to finish the things here as soon as possible and then go to the main hall to meet up with the others.
This secret place made Qin Fang feel that something was very wrong. He always had a feeling of fear and trepidation. Now that it was daytime, it was better. If there was any danger, they could look out for each other.
But once night fell, it would be quite bad. God knows how many of the four of them who came in would be able to leave.
Therefore, this time couldn't be delayed any longer. Qin Fang had to speed up …
With this speed, the work wasn't as meticulous as before. However, Qin Fang himself didn't expect to find a second piece of Skyheart Sand.
After all, this thing was too rare. Qin Fang could find it just now. This was already considered extremely lucky. If he could really find it the next day, it would be heaven-defying …
Obviously, heaven-defying wasn't so easy. At least, Qin Fang hadn't reached this level. When Qin Fang completely turned over this piece of sand, he couldn't find a second piece.
"Although this is expected, why do I still feel a little unhappy?"
When the work was done, Qin Fang was ready to leave. He couldn't help but mutter.
Of course, Qin Fang didn't really care about this. He was already very satisfied to be able to obtain this piece of Skyheart Sand.
With the Skyheart Sand in hand, Qin Fang knew that this trip wasn't in vain. Obtaining the Blackwater Python's skin was delightful. However, compared to the Skyheart Sand, it was completely negligible.
"It's time to find the Snake Origin Fruit …"
Qin Fang simply packed up and immediately walked towards the dark snake cave. The Snake Origin Fruit grew in the deepest part of the snake's nest, so he naturally had to go deep inside to get it.
With a flip of his wrist, a high-powered flashlight appeared in Qin Fang's hand. The snake cave was very dark. Even with Qin Fang's amazing vision, it wasn't particularly clear.
Although this was the Blackwater Python's cave and there shouldn't be any other ferocious beasts inside, Qin Fang still had to be on guard.
The Blackwater Python was a hermaphrodite snake. In other words, it was rumored that it would kill itself. Therefore, Qin Fang wasn't worried that a second Blackwater Python would appear.
This kind of python was a ferocious beast with a very strong sense of territory. If there really was a second Blackwater Python in this mystic land, it would have already turned the sky upside down. It was simply impossible for them to coexist.
However, for safety's sake, Qin Fang still maintained a considerable amount of vigilance. At the very least, whether this Blackwater Python that had lived for hundreds of years had ever given birth to a small snake was something that Qin Fang couldn't foresee.
If there really was a second Blackwater Python hiding in the cave, Qin Fang could take precautions in advance. He didn't have to make a last-ditch effort.
This cave was naturally formed by piling up rocks. However, the stones on the ground and walls were rather smooth.
It wasn't the kind of smoothness that came from being washed away by flowing water, but rather from being rubbed against by the Blackwater Python's enormous body over the years.
However, the cave was extremely quiet right now. There was almost no sound at all. Only the faint sound of flowing water and Qin Fang's soft footsteps could be heard.
The cave was very deep. After all, this was the Blackwater Python's nest, and the python was over fifty meters long. If the snake's nest was too small, it wouldn't even be able to curl up its body, let alone live in it.
Qin Fang's speed wasn't fast or slow, but he still walked about four to five hundred meters. The passageway of the snake cave was also getting wider and wider. Gradually, Qin Fang felt that he should be reaching his destination soon.
There was no other reason than the sound of flowing water growing louder and louder. Moreover, Qin Fang could vaguely sense some light …
"I've arrived …"
Qin Fang briefly checked the small map. There was nothing threatening in front of him, such as the Xuanshui Giant Python. Thus, he was able to set his mind at ease.
After a few brisk steps, Qin Fang stepped into an incomparably large cave. His originally dim vision suddenly became much clearer.
"What a large cave …"
This cave was extremely large. At least, Qin Fang estimated that the longest span was at least a hundred meters. Due to the lack of light, Qin Fang couldn't see very clearly, so it was naturally difficult for him to estimate. The shortest span was at least fifty meters.
Only such a large cave could accommodate the Blackwater Python's enormous body. Otherwise, the Blackwater Python would have been stuck long ago.
At the top of the cave, about ten meters above the ground, there was a hole similar to the crater of a volcano. It was completely connected to the outside world. A ray of sunlight shone in from the hole, illuminating the cave and making it not as dark as before.
Directly below this hole was a small pond. It wasn't very large, but it contained quite a bit of water.
If Qin Fang's guess was correct, this water should be rainwater that poured down from this hole …
Beside this small pond, where the sunlight shone, there were some lush green plants growing. Some of them had small pink flowers, and a few of them had already borne dark red fruits …
"Snake Origin Fruit …"
Although Qin Fang had expected these fruits, he couldn't help but feel excited when he saw them. Fortunately, he wasn't too unlucky and the Snake Origin Fruit was still there.
Qin Fang wasn't very sure what kind of plants were growing beside the small pond, but these fruits should have been formed by absorbing the snake-type Yuan Qi released by the Blackwater Python all year round. Hence, they were called Snake Origin Fruits.
Although it wasn't a spirit medicine fruit, it was still a very rare medicinal ingredient after being baptized by the vitality of a mutated snake like the Xuanshui Python.
However, although the Snake Origin Fruit would grow and bear fruit over a long period of time, it also depended on luck …
For example, if there were fewer green plants, the number of fruits they would produce would be relatively smaller.
If the old fruits fell and rotted while the new ones had yet to bear fruit, then Qin Fang would have made a wasted trip.
Qin Fang's luck was still pretty good. These Snake Origin Fruits were already fully ripe and were even about to be fully ripe. If he had been a few days later, they would have fallen and rotted.
But Qin Fang just happened to appear at this time. Of course, his luck was pretty good …
If these fruits had really fallen and rotted while the others were still in the flowering stage and far from bearing fruit, then Qin Fang's efforts would have been in vain.
"My luck is pretty good …"
Qin Fang praised and was about to pick the Snake Origin Fruits.
Although the Snake Origin Fruit wasn't a spirit herb and was relatively easy to find, there were still differences between the Snake Origin Fruits. The Snake Origin Fruit that was born from an ordinary giant snake and the Snake Origin Fruit that was born from a variant snake like the Blackwater Python were not on the same level …
It could even be said that there was a difference between heaven and earth. They weren't on the same level at all, and the difference was in the "Yuan" word on the Snake Origin Fruit.
Actually, this was also the difference between the snake species that gave birth to the Snake Origin Fruit. There was a difference between an ordinary giant python and a Golden Top Cockscomb Snake, and there was a huge difference between a Golden Top Cockscomb Snake and a Blackwater Python …
The Blackwater Python was considered the highest ranked snake species below the spirit beast snake species. Therefore, the Snake Origin Fruit that it gave birth to was second only to spirit herbs among the Snake Origin Fruits …
Just based on this point, Qin Fang couldn't possibly let go of these Snake Origin Fruits in front of him!
