Almighty Genius

Chapter 1949 - 1502: Formidable Rival! (Part 2)

Ji Xiang smiled and said,As long as that Grandmaster Peak Strongman isn't an idiot, he would have noticed Tian Gang Chunyi hasn't appeared yet, and that someone from the Sakata Shrine has gone back to report. If he doesn't come quickly, things will get even bigger.

Especially if anyone among Tian Gang Chunyi or Kitatori Kazuo is in trouble, the two Holy Lands definitely won't let things rest.

"Well, they are indeed coming out..."

Almost as Ji Xiang finished speaking, his phone rang. He then raised his phone and smiled.

It was obvious that news from Lai Wen, who was monitoring the movements of the two Holy Lands, got through, indicating that an old man suspected to be a Grandmaster Peak Strongman immediately transformed into a black shadow to rush up the mountain after receiving the news from his disciple.

To confirm this, Lai Wen had specially sent this surveillance footage to Ji Xiang's phone, allowing Qin Fang and them to make their own judgment.

"People from the Anping Shrine are also coming out..."

Almost simultaneously, another video was sent over, but this time it was from the Anping Shrine, showing that experts had also been dispatched from there.

"It's time! Move out..."

At this point, a deep smile appeared on Qin Fang's face, and he immediately issued orders to his people.

Thus, under Qin Fang's leadership, a group of Grandmaster-level Experts immediately headed from the narrow path towards the North Garden of the Hot Spring Hotel, the base of the Sakata Shrine.

"Brothers, just one thing: protect yourselves, kill without mercy!"

With that Grandmaster Peak Strongman gone, the remaining strength at the Sakata Shrine is significantly weaker, with only about three or four Grandmaster-level Masters left, and the rest are just some Master Level ones, which are not worrisome.

Qin Fang and the others only needed to focus on dealing with these Grandmaster-level experts, ignoring the others... Of course, their main objective was to kill or seriously injure the targets, aiming to eliminate the experts at the Sakata Shrine.

Upon reaching the Sakata Shrine's base, the group split up, with Qin Fang giving only a brief word of instruction before.

Due to time constraints, their efficiency would be higher by splitting up, though it was also more dangerous since some strong experts still remained here.

For the remaining Grandmaster-level experts, those at the early or mid-stages could still be dealt with, but encountering a Master Level Late-Stage expert would be quite troublesome.

"Little Mink, be ready to provide support at any time..."

At that time, Qin Fang wasn't entirely without means to deal with experts of that level, as he still had a Quasi-Spirit Beast at his disposal.

"Chirp chirp chirp chirp~~~"

Unexpectedly, Little Mink agreed but started bargaining with Qin Fang, gesturing in the air with its small paws.

"Alright! As long as you complete the task perfectly this time, it will be yours..."

Watching Little Mink's gestures, Qin Fang stayed silent for a while before understanding, a slight smile appearing on his face as he readily agreed.

What did Little Mink want?

In fact, what Little Mink wanted was the Lingyuan Fruit that Qin Fang had just acquired, borne from a stalk of Lingyuan Grass...

The Lingyuan Fruit is the fruit borne by a spiritual medicine, a spirit fruit, the essence of Lingyuan Grass condensed over hundreds of years. It is of strong appeal to both Martial Artists and Spiritual Beasts.

Little Mink is now a Quasi-Spirit Beast, and crossing that threshold could officially elevate it to the level of a Spirit Beast.

Once it becomes a Spirit Beast, it formally enters the ranks of experts, with even the weakest at the Grandmaster-level Tier, and those a bit stronger could step into the Grandmaster Realm, with some extremely terrifying Spirit Beasts even reaching the Supreme Realm...

For instance, in one hidden place discovered by Qin Fang and his group, a Fierce Beast of the Supreme Realm was lurking...

Such Spirit Beasts or Fierce Beasts have extremely long lifespans. Humans might live just a little over a hundred years, but Spirit Beasts can easily live for hundreds or even thousands of years.

"Perhaps, I really could create a Spirit Beast..."

Actually, Qin Fang wasn't sure how to deal with the Lingyuan Fruit; he originally intended to use it in alchemy but lacked a suitable formula, and his skills weren't enough, making wastage of spiritual medicine likely...

Discovering that Little Mink actually wanted the Lingyuan Fruit lit up Qin Fang's eyes, bringing even a bit of joy.

Since acquiring Little Mink, Qin Fang had been pondering how to help it cross that threshold, but was clueless about it, leaving him at a loss.

But Little Mink, having already gained some intelligence, knew to seek out a treasure, indicating its strong desire for the Lingyuan Fruit.

The Lingyuan Fruit is effective, mainly due to its juice containing abundant spiritual energy, but Qin Fang had a better Peerless Elixir Golden Dragon Saliva, making the Lingyuan Fruit seem less appealing...

However, to Spirit Beasts, the Lingyuan Fruit, teeming with spiritual energy, is much better than the Golden Dragon Saliva. That's why, despite Little Mink's desire for the Golden Dragon Saliva, its need wasn't as strong, but upon seeing the Lingyuan Fruit, it immediately became restless.
