Beast Taming: I Have an Immortal Mansion

Chapter 181 - 152: Fire Element Spiritual Materials

Seeing the look on Fang Qingyuan’s face, Situ Jingyu said,

"Beyond the tenth level underground lies a vast, boundless ocean of magma. I heard the Sect Leader say that deep within that ocean, there are Nascent Soul Giant Beasts, and perhaps even some at the Divinity Transformation realm. The volcanic eruption back then was apparently caused by a few Divinity Transformation Demon Beasts raising a ruckus."

Hearing these secrets from Situ Jingyu, Fang Qingyuan had a moment of sudden enlightenment. ’So that’s why!’ No wonder a simple volcanic eruption three thousand years ago prompted several Divinity Transformation masters to join forces to seal the breach and lay down an Array. There was a hidden cause after all.

"Now, with the Array from back then, the demon beasts below the tenth level can’t break out. It’s just a few Golden Core Demon Beasts, and they’re no match for our Sect Leader. Junior Brother, you don’t need to worry."

Fang Qingyuan thought, ’Where did you get the idea I was worried? All I want right now is to find a quiet place and dig up some earth.’

At this thought, an idea suddenly struck Fang Qingyuan. Perhaps he could use these Golden Core Demon Beasts as an excuse to send this senior sister away.

And so, as he traveled alongside Situ Jingyu, Fang Qingyuan asked:

"Senior Sister Situ, you said you’re familiar with the Golden Core Demon Beasts on the lowest levels. Is that true?"

Situ Jingyu smiled with pride.

"Of course it is. Why would I lie to you?"

Seeing Situ Jingyu take the bait, Fang Qingyuan seized the opportunity.

"Then I wonder, how many Top-grade Spirit Stones is a Golden Core Demon Beast cub worth?"

Situ Jingyu stopped dead in her tracks. She stared at Fang Qingyuan and said:

"Don’t tell me, Junior Brother... you’re thinking...?"

"Exactly. Rather than searching for cubs from Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts, why not aim for a Golden Core one? If you can bring me a Golden Core Demon Beast cub, Senior Sister, I’m willing to pay this amount."

With that, Fang Qingyuan made a hand gesture and waved it in front of Situ Jingyu, causing her to stare, wide-eyed.

"Three Top-grade Spirit Stones?"

"Thirty Top-grade Spirit Stones. What do you say, Senior Sister? Surely a Golden Core cub isn’t that cheap."

"Thirty Top-grade Spirit Stones... That’s enough to buy so much Body Refining Soup... Junior Brother, can I count on your word?"

"I, Fang Qingyuan, never go back on my word. If Senior Sister doesn’t believe me, I’ll leave Jinbao with you as collateral."

Beside them, Jinbao rolled its eyes in resignation upon hearing Fang Qingyuan’s words, but Situ Jingyu said joyfully:

"There’s no need for that! Just wait for my good news, Junior Brother. Don’t wander around while I’m gone. I’ll be back soon. In half a month at most, I’ll return, whether I succeed or not."

Seeing her expression, Fang Qingyuan knew his plan had worked. Now that he could send this Foundation Establishment senior sister away, he could throw open his Immortal Mansion and start pouring things in with all his might.

’A Golden Core Demon Beast cub, even if I don’t use it myself, can be resold for thirty or forty Top-grade Spirit Stones. The only reason Situ Jingyu agreed this time is because she has a sect mission to back her up. Otherwise, even if she were ten times bolder, she wouldn’t dare scheme against a Golden Core Demon Beast cub.’

Watching Situ Jingyu depart, Fang Qingyuan waited for half a day to be sure she was truly gone. Then, he walked over to a nearby pool of magma and stared into it, lost in thought. A moment later, he took out and set up three Arrays. Only when he was certain that Situ Jingyu wouldn’t be able to figure out what he was doing, even if she returned, did he finally plunge his hand into the magma.

The next moment, a waterfall of magma, as if pouring in from the edge of the sky, cascaded into a large pit inside the Immortal Mansion, unleashing waves of heat.

The temperature inside the Immortal Mansion instantly rose by several degrees. Even the sleeping Bee Queen squirmed over to a cooler spot.

The waterfall of magma flowed without pause. In just an hour, it filled the five-mu plot of Black Land Fang Qingyuan had prepared, and it was on the verge of overflowing the containment walls.

Seeing this, Fang Qingyuan stopped the flow just in time. Half a day later, a thick layer of magma from the pool in the Black Land had been absorbed by the Immortal Mansion.

At that moment, Fang Qingyuan took out the Magical Artifact used for testing Spirit Roots to carefully sense his own Fire Spirit Root. After running the test, he was thrilled to discover that the red light on the artifact, which represented his Fire Spirit Root, was a hint more brilliant than before.

’It worked!’

’This magma really is a Spiritual Object! Even though it has welled up from the deepest depths and lost much of its Spiritual Qi along the way, it’s more than enough for my Immortal Mansion.’

With this thought, Fang Qingyuan had no time to celebrate. Seeing that the magma level inside the Immortal Mansion had already begun to drop, he once again plunged his hand into the pool before him.
