Shen Ping did not know what the two strange beast patterns meant. He did not dare to move recklessly. Instead, he observed carefully for a day and discovered that the strange beast pattern on the right would show a different light every hour. Clearly, there was a certain pattern to the color of this light.
The next day, he immediately contacted his master through the dazzling crystal and explained the situation in his room in detail.
Lian Xuejin’s gentle voice quickly sounded. “Looks like the key to leaving this room or exploring the treasure is on the two strange beast diagrams. The strange beast suppressed by the Nine Continents Tower is a Heaven Beast, and the strange beasts in the world have different forms, but there are a total of ten types. According to the number of scale patterns in your room, they should be Flame Beasts.
“As for the light displayed by the pattern, if I’m not wrong, it might be related to the color of the strange beast’s blood.”
Shen Ping said in surprise, “Master, is the blood color of each of the ten strange beasts different?”
“That’s right.” Lian Xuejin replied, “Heaven, Sea, Flame, Feather, Thunder… Their colors are respectively gold, red, crimson, yellow, purple, and so on. When the color of the blood of the strange beasts is used, it also represents their own strength. The higher the level of their blood, the stronger they are. Similarly, if they use the Beast Scripture to reveal various techniques, the power they can unleash will also be different. This is a method unique to our human race. The other races’ main methods are bloodline talent and various bloodline spells created by the strange beasts!
“It can’t be said who’s stronger or weaker between the two. It only depends on the level of their comprehension of the strange beast concept.”
Shen Ping came to a realization and immediately said, “Master, in your opinion, what do the two strange beast patterns in the room mean?”
The gentle voice continued, “The main difference between strange beasts is the color of their bloodline. That’s why I deduced that the light is related to color. Since the strange beast in the room is a Flame Beast, when the right side is red, try to press the pattern and see if there are any changes.”
Shen Ping nodded. He stared at the pattern and waited for about four hours. When the pattern’s light turned red, he took a deep breath and placed his palm on the pattern on the left. He gently exerted strength, and the pattern actually caved in.
Crack. A narrow compartment suddenly opened in the metal wall. There was an exquisite jade box in the compartment. The jade box was crystal clear.
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up slightly. He thought to himself that his master had really been right. The pattern was really a treasure mechanism. However, he carefully took out the jade box with his magic treasure and pasted a few Six Shield Talismans. He had set up a simple defensive array formation and activated the Purple Mystic Jade Spiritual Robe. He also placed the puppet with strange patterns beside him and prepared many methods.
Only then did he try to open the jade box. The jade box was easily opened without any traps. There were 30 strange stones in the box. At this moment, it emitted a special energy fluctuation of a strange beast.
Shen Ping could not help but feel excited. One strange stone could absorb and refine ten wisps of the power of strange beasts. Thirty pieces could absorb a total of three hundred wisps of the power of strange beasts. He only needed a hundred wisps to activate a low-grade beast spirit treasure like the golden hammer.
The purple spear and the three-striped earth-colored pearl only needed more than a hundred wisps. With these 30 strange stones, This meant that he could completely unleash the true power of low-grade beast spirit treasures like the golden hammer!
“Master, as expected, that pattern is indeed where the treasure mechanism is. I’ve already obtained the strange stones. I finally have a trace of self-preservation in the Heaven Ascension Hall.”
Through the two foreign race cultivators he had encountered, he understood that although the strange stone looked like it could be obtained casually in the underground palace, the probability of this was very low. Therefore, many Golden Core cultivators who had entered the Strange Beast Gate probably did not have the power of the strange beast in their dantian to support the power of a complete beast spirit treasure.
Lian Xuejin smiled and said, “Disciple, you can’t be careless. In my opinion, such a mechanism is a little simple. After all, anyone who knows a little about strange beasts can easily guess it. However, you didn’t encounter any other danger. I think the main danger in this room lies in the other cultivators.” Shen Ping nodded solemnly. Indeed. If the other cultivator who entered the room was powerful, he would definitely be the one to die. There were no other dangers before and after obtaining the mysterious stone. Obviously, this danger was to fight other cultivators.
Thinking of this, he could not help but be vigilant.
In the end, he was still too weak. He knew very little about the Heaven Ascension Hall in the underground palace and the beast-patterned Golden Core geniuses of the other races. If it was all luck, there would be a time when his luck would be exhausted.
At this moment, Lian Xuejin said, “Disciple, don’t be in a hurry to explore the room and obtain treasures next. Instead, you should absorb the strange stone first and familiarize yourself with mastering the Beast Spirit Treasure. Also, if you have the time, you must continue to comprehend the Beast Scripture.”
Shen Ping said seriously, “Yes, Master.”
Not long after he took the hidden jade box, a door appeared on the metal wall. However, this time, he was not in a hurry to leave. Instead, he sat cross-legged and began to calmly absorb the energy in the strange stone.
With the power of the strange beast in his dantian, the efficiency of absorbing the strange stone was not slow.
It took two days. The power of the strange beast in his dantian had finally filled up quite a bit. When he probed with his divine sense, there were a total of 345 wisps, and so much power of the strange beast had only filled up 20% of his dantian’s meridians.
Therefore, if he wanted to completely perfect the power of the strange beast in his dantian and meridians, he would need at least a thousand wisps of the power of the strange beast. In other words, if Shen Ping wanted to rely on the power of the strange beast to break through to the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, he would have to obtain more than a hundred strange stones.
Currently, the meridians in his body are mainly ordinary Golden Core magic power. Reaching the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm also relied on the magic power of an ordinary Golden Core. If he did not have the power of a strange beast to replenish it, he would also be an ordinary Nascent Soul in the future.
Of course, even this ordinary Golden Core magic power was something that other cultivators had to look up to.
Next, he continued to stay in his room to familiarize himself with the beast spirit treasures he had obtained.
Five beast spirit treasures. They were the small golden hammer, the small blue umbrella, the light green whip, the purple spear, and the three-striped earth-colored bead. Among them, the small umbrella and the earth-colored bead were defensive beast spirit treasures, while the green whip was a binding beast spirit treasure. The remaining small hammer and spear were attack-type.
Shen Ping had more than 300 wisps of the power of strange beasts in his body. He could control three beast spirit treasures at the same time. If there were any more, he would not be able to hold on.
Another three days passed. He, who was familiar with the beast spirit treasure, suddenly sensed something and closed his eyes. He saw that there seemed to be a door in the depths of his sea of consciousness.
Strange Beast Gate! Shen Ping could not help but look happy. He could finally sense the Strange Beast Gate again. Without thinking, he activated the Beast Control Heavenly Scripture.
Soon, the Strange Beast Gate appeared in the room. Then, Shen Ping stepped in. When he appeared again, he was already in the quiet room of the Huitong Inn. “I’m back!” His face was filled with relief.
The underground palace in the Strange Beast Gate was too unfamiliar to him. Although he had obtained a lot of information and powerful beast spirit treasures, he was not used to that dangerous place.
He put away his emotions. Shen Ping stood up and left the quiet room. Then, he checked the time he entered the Strange Beast Gate in seclusion. It was almost the same as when he stayed in the Strange Beast Gate. “Looks like I have to find a safer and hidden place to enter the Strange Beast Gate in the future..”
