Chapter 680: Chapter 319: Flowers Bloom from the Emerald Spring! _2

“Once the barrier is open, the inside and outside of the barrier will be divided into two different worlds.”

“People outside the barrier cannot perceive what’s happening within, and people inside the barrier cannot communicate with those outside.”

“Through experimentation, we’ve learned that powerful barriers can actually sever the pact between a Beast Master and their Guardian Beast.”

“If the barrier separates the Beast Master from their Guardian Beast, even if they are close to each other, they will not sense one another’s presence.”

“Once someone from outside or inside tries to break through the barrier for investigation, the barrier will shatter.”

“This can serve as an early warning signal!”

Fang Mu was struck with a new insight upon seeing the General-level Evil Spirit, which Shui Miao had knocked down, lying on the ground.

This kind of evil spirit was definitely worthwhile to train with the Soul of Death.

But sealing an evil spirit is not an easy feat.

Luckily, after sealing the pact with Liu Xi, Fang Mu had collected all the Soul Binding Tungsten Crystal that had been covering Liu Xi.

Under the influence of blood and life energy, the Soul Binding Tungsten Crystal had liquefied.

Fang Mu then poured this life-elixir-soaked Soul Binding Tungsten Crystal onto the Evil Spirit endowed with barrier abilities.

As soon as the Soul Binding Tungsten Crystal touched the body of the Evil Spirit, it swiftly spread out, absorbing the unique aura of the Evil Spirit and eventually hardened.

This sealed the Evil Spirit completely.

Even though Fang Mu was unreservedly enjoying his spoils of war, he addressed Shu Liangjun, Shui Miao, and Qin Shao earnestly.

“I’ll be taking the things I’m interested in.”

“After we leave the ancient battlefield, I’ll compensate you all with resources.”

Some things are implicitly understood, but it’s still important to make them explicit!

Fang Mu didn’t want to cause resentment over the distribution of resources.

No matter how Shui Miao, Shu Liangjun, and Qin Shao treated him, they wouldn’t do it without any conditions.

Although he indeed increased the lifespan for Shu Liangjun and Qin Shao, the two have compensated him in other ways.

Shu Liangjun waved his hand, saying,

“Ah Mu, what I owe you can’t be repaid by resources.”

“There’s no need to discuss resources with me!”

Unlike what Shu Liangjun said, Shui Miao, who knew Fang Mu’s character well and Qin Shao, who just started to understand him more, both loosened up.

Qin Shao didn’t want any resources. The Founding Sect, his clan, was not lacking resources.

After some thought, Qin Shao said earnestly,

“If possible, I want to trade my resources for the chance to increase my lifespan.”

Fang Mu knew that Qin Shao had always wanted him to help the people of his clan to extend their lifespan.

Fang Mu decided to give Qin Shao some confidence, and also motivate him to work harder.

“If we obtain a lot this time, after I hand my share to my master, he will be pleased, and would definitely be willing to spare a few more opportunities to increase lifespan!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Shao was overjoyed and rushed to lead the way, even surpassing Shui Miao.

Soon, Fang Mu managed to obtain two Epoch artifacts according to what was recorded in the ancient texts.

Both of these Epoch artifacts were wrapped in massive amounts of Dirty Energy, Curse Energy, and Dead Qi.

Elixir of high purity might not be able to dissolve them, and it’s unknown how long it would take to do so.

The seven symbols marked in the ancient text are largely associated with dangerous mechanisms, traps and death roads.

Fang Mu just needed to find the Epoch artifact represented by the circle, the Spiritual Energy represented by the ellipse within the circle, and the three hearts whose meaning was unknown.

As he had the real ancient text in hand, Fang Mu’s search was straightforward and easy.

Every location marked with the presence of an Epoch artifact turned out to be accurate, completely ruling out the possibility of anyone entering this large ancient battlefield beforehand.

Suddenly, the JuYang Giant Clam that Fang Mu held in his hand spouted out a jet of water in front.

Thankfully, the JuYang Giant Clam counteracted the recoil of the attack; otherwise, Fang Mu would have been knocked to the ground.

The amount of water spurted out by the JuYang Giant Clam wasn’t large, but the pressure was surprisingly high.

It struck a phantom that was leaning against the stone wall in preparation for an ambush.

While the shot of the JuYang Giant Clam pierced the phantom’s chest, it did not cause fatal harm but still hurt enough for the phantom to retract back into the wall quickly.

Yet, the phantom did not flee immediately. Instead, it emerged from the wall to lash out at Qin Shao, who was leading the group.

With a lift of his hand, the black and red snake with gray aura leaking from its body shot out from Qin Shao’s sleeve, opened its mouth wide, and took a harsh draw towards the phantom.

Almost instantly, the snake managed to drain a large portion of the Soul Flame from the phantom’s body.

The loss of the Soul Flame made the phantom’s movements gradually slow and stiffen.

The small snake in Qin Shao’s sleeve was in a stalemate with the phantom, one suctioning the Soul Flame out while the other trying to forcefully pull the Soul Flame back into its body.

Shu Liangjun smacked his lips.

“Wall-cutting Shadow Corpse is an excellent killer in this relatively narrow environment.”

“Ah Mu, you mentioned that you are interested in the Stitch Corpse Horror refined by the Evil Heart Sect and the Eternal Alchemy Association.”

“If you have a Stitch Corpse Horror, you could try cultivating it with the corpse of the Wall-cutting Shadow Corpse.”
