Chapter 70: Physical Enhancement (Part 2)

  The body of the Black Line King Snake was over 60-70 meters long, and the amount of fresh blood inside was unknown. Xuán Tiān drank for half a time period, but probably couldn't even finish one-tenth of it. However, Xuán Tiān's physical body strengthening had already reached the limit of his cultivation, and he couldn't drink anymore.

  He glanced at the corpse of the Blackline King Snake, and its scales were also a treasure. If he could make a set of clothes with these scales, no weapon below the Xuanjie Treasure Ranks could break through his defense.

  If a refiner were to obtain this snake scale, they could even refine it into an Xuan-stage defensive treasure, and perhaps not even an Xuan-stage attacking treasure would be able to break through its defense.

  If the Black-striped King Snake were alive, even if Xuan Tian used his Frost Snow Sword to slash at it, he would still find it difficult to break through its scales. However, since the Black-striped King Snake was already dead and no longer had the support of its 'true energy', the defensive capabilities of its scales would be greatly reduced. With some effort, Xuan Tian could use his Frost Snow Sword to peel off the snake's scales.

  After expending the strength of nine oxen and two tigers, after a short period of time, Xuan Tian finally peeled off about ten meters of snake scales. Folded together, it was also a considerable size. If he peeled more, it would be impossible to carry, so he could only abandon them.

  Carrying the peeled snake scales, Xuan Tian followed the direction indicated by the treasure map and headed towards the treasure location.

  After walking for over 40 miles, Xuan Tian arrived at the foot of the mountain peak indicated by the treasure map. In front of him, a waterfall cascaded down from the middle of the mountain, and below the waterfall was a pool of water about 30-40 meters in diameter. On the east side of the pool, there was a small river about 6-7 meters wide.

  Look at the location indicated on the treasure map, the entrance is in the pond under this waterfall.

  Xuántiān stood beside the pool, watching for a while, his gaze lifted up and fell on the waterfall again. To be precise, it was behind the waterfall, but Xuántiān's eyes didn't have X-ray vision, so he couldn't see the scene behind the waterfall.

  Standing at the foot of the mountain, it seems that behind the waterfall is all dark stone, but Xuan Tian, as a transmigrator, had seen many in his previous life and knew that behind waterfalls, there are usually caves, which are the easiest places to hide treasures besides under cliffs.

  The waterfall flows down from the middle of the mountain, with a height of over 400 meters. Xuan Tian's body leaps up, unfolding the Dragon and Tiger Step, his body jumps over the water pool, directly pouncing towards the back of the waterfall.

  However, what disappointed Xuan Tian was that behind the waterfall, there wasn't a cave, but only a green stone.

  Helpless, Xuan Tian directly jumped down and followed the waterfall into the water pool. Since there was no entrance behind the waterfall, the entrance to the treasure should be in the water pool.

  Xuantian Heart Path: Is it not that I have a fate with the water pool? In Yinxian Pool, I experienced a strange encounter, and there was an extra white jade small sword in my eyebrow. This time, searching for treasure also starts from the water pool?

  Xuantian had just turned his mind when a green shadow suddenly emerged from the side, it was a large green snake, a third-level low-ranking demon beast - Green Water Python.

  In the water, the Green Water Snake was very fast, while Xuan Tian's speed was greatly reduced due to the resistance of the water. The Green Water Snake swept its tail over, and Xuan Tian dodged to the side, but the snake's tail struck the sword on Xuan Tian's back, sending the Frost Sword flying off to one side.

  No Chill Snow Sword, Xuan Tian became a swordsman without a sword.

  The green water snake's speed was extremely fast, its body as long as thirty meters, wrapping around and binding Xuan Tian tightly.

  "Damn it! Not only did I have a predestined relationship with Shui Tang, but also with the snake, damn it!"

  Encountering two serpent-like demons in a row, Xuántiān couldn't help but curse loudly.

  One of the snake's greatest strengths is its ability to entwine its prey, and once wrapped up, the prey is as good as dead.

  The green water snake tightly wrapped around Xuan Tian's body, its huge mouth wide open, the opened snake mouth was even bigger than Xuan Tian's head, and it bit towards Xuan Tian's brain.

  "The tiger doesn't show its might, yet it still thinks I'm a sick cat. A low-ranking three-tiered demon beast dares to attack me."

  Xuantian is no longer what he used to be, his physical strength has been enhanced, and his power is boundless. Even without a sword in hand, his body itself is a formidable weapon.

  Facing the green water snake's head, Xuan Tian was just one punch. The resistance of the water could not stop Xuan Tian's power explosion, and with one punch, he knocked the green water snake into a daze.

  Xuantian's other hand reached forward and grabbed the Green Water Snake's Qi Hai, tightly pinching it. With a burst of strength, he pinched the snake, causing its mouth to open wide and its body to go limp, releasing its hold on Xuantian's body.

  Xuantian landed several consecutive punches on the green water snake's head, then twisted and broke its neck bone. The green water snake's body was still twisting, but it sank to the bottom of the pool, already dead.

  Throwing away the green water snake, Xuán Tiān picked up the Hán Snow Sword and began searching at the bottom of the pool.

  It's strange, there is no entrance at the bottom of the pool either, everything seems normal.

  With Xuan Tian's cultivation, holding his breath for over ten minutes was not a difficult task. After searching the bottom of the pool, he found a suspicious spot on a smooth stone wall at the edge of the pool, which was connected to the mountain body.

  On this stone wall, there are five stones like buns, irregularly arranged.

  These five stones, with a single lift of Xuantian, couldn't be lifted at all, but they could slide on the stone wall.

  Xuān Tiān suddenly remembered.

  Behind the waterfall, on a bluestone about 100 meters high, Xuantian found five indentations. At that time, he thought he had found the switch, but those five indentations couldn't move at all, as if they were naturally existing, so Xuantian didn't think much of it.

  It seems now that there might be some connection between them.

  The five stones on the mobile stone wall of Xuántiān are placed in exactly the same position as the five recesses on the bluestone behind the waterfall.

  Then, Xuan Tian rushed up into the sky and immediately left the pond, arriving behind the waterfall. Using 'Dragon Tiger Step', he reached a height of 100 meters.

  Xuantian's guess was correct, those five stones were indeed connected to the five recesses above. Now that the five recessed bluestones had been moved aside, a dark and mysterious cave entrance was revealed.

  Having arrived at the entrance of the treasure land, it is natural that there is no reason not to enter.

  Rumble!

  Xuan Tian had just walked into the cave when a loud noise sounded and the entrance closed.

  In the cave, it was pitch black, and he couldn't see his fingers when he stretched out his hand. After a while, Xuan Tian gradually got used to the darkness and could vaguely make out the surroundings.

  At the entrance, a careful check was made and no switch was found to open the entrance, making it impossible to exit from the entrance.

  "Since a treasure map has been left behind, there must not be only one dead end. If we can't get out from here, then there must be another exit. Let's go inside and take a look first."

  Xuantian raised his vigilance and walked forward in the seemingly blurry mountain cave.

  Nothing dangerous happened on the way.

  The further they went forward, the wider and more spacious the cave became. The light also grew brighter, and Xuán Tiān could even feel a gentle breeze blowing, indicating that there were indeed other exits.

  The light was sufficient, the Xuantian line of sight was clear, and the speed of walking increased a lot, about 500 meters ahead, a stone gate blocked the way forward, next to the stone gate, a giant sword stood upright, with rust spots on its surface, half of it inserted into the ground mountain rocks.

  On the wall beside it, there were words: "Heavy Yue Sword, weighing one hundred and twenty-eight kilograms. Later generations of young sons, take out the Heavy Yue Sword, the stone gate will open automatically, and you can obtain my inheritance as a master craftsman of the earth level!"

  County-level Refiner!

  Xuántiān saw these five words and his pupils contracted.

  Alchemist, this is one of the rarest professions in the Divine Land, even rarer than Dan medicine masters.

  Although alchemists are rare, top-grade alchemists are even more so. It's said that only one of the top sects, 'Tian Xing Pavilion', has one. However, Xuan Tian knows that in the vast lands of Shen Zhou, there are still some earth-grade alchemists around.

  However, a county-level artifact refiner is as rare as a phoenix feather or a unicorn horn, and can be counted on one's fingers. As for a heavenly-level artifact refiner, the lineage was cut off thousands of years ago.

  The Alchemist can refine precious artifacts, with astonishing power.

  Xuan-level artifact refiner, capable of refining Xuan-grade artifacts. Earth level corresponds to earth grade, and heaven level corresponds to heaven grade.

  A warrior of the same cultivation level in the Innate Realm, with a Xuan-stage attack treasure in hand, can easily kill one who only has an ordinary weapon. Furthermore, if the treasure is powerful enough, it can even allow for trans-level killing.

  It can be seen that the treasure instrument has an effect on the warrior.

  The number of martial artists in China is numerous, while the refining masters are rare. The refined treasures are in short supply, so the price of the treasures is quite high.

  Congenital boundary warriors, those with Xuanjie treasure in hand are less than half.

  The warriors of the Earth Stage, those who possess an Earth Stage treasure are less than 40%.

  A county-level alchemist is sought after by even top-notch forces of first-rate, second-rate and third-rate.

  "In this cave, there is actually a legacy of a terrestrial-level alchemist. I can obtain three pieces of treasure maps, what a great fortune."

  Xuan Tian was overjoyed and thanked his senior brother from the Tianjian Sect, the leader of the Fuwei Gang, and Niu Zhenshan, the master of the Niu family, repeatedly.

  The Zhong Yue sword weighs one hundred and twenty-eight catties, still stuck in the stone on the ground. The difficulty of pulling it out has increased by more than tenfold. Without a strength of over a thousand catties, don't even think about pulling out the Zhong Yue sword.

  For the former Xuantian, it was still a bit difficult to wield the heavy Hongyue Sword, but after eating the gall and blood of the Heixian Wang snake, his physique strengthened, and his power surged several times over. A thousand jin weight could now be lifted with just one hand.

  Xuántiān's right arm grasped the hilt of Chóng Yuè Sword, and with a slight lift upwards, the Chóng Yuè Sword only moved slightly, but was not pulled out.

  Xuantian's previous move, at the very least, exceeded a thousand catties. It seems that even the Heavy Mountain Sword won't be enough with just a thousand catties of force; it will probably require around two thousand catties of power to work.

  To obtain the legacy of a provincial-level refiner, it's not easy at all. Two thousand kilograms of strength, even if it's a warrior in the First or Second Heaven of the Innate Realm who enters inside, they might still be unable to pull out the Heavy Mountain Sword.

  The entrance is sealed off and can't get out. The stone gate blocks the way ahead. If you can't wield the Heavy Mountain Sword, entering this place means there's only one path to death.

  Xuān Tiān took a deep breath, his waist sank, and with one hand still grasping the hilt of his sword, he let out a loud roar and made a fierce slash.

  Rumble!

  The heavy stone door was pushed open with a loud creak, and it swung aside, revealing the passageway.

  Xuantian took a glance at the stone gate, which was about two meters thick. If he couldn't even budge the Heavy Mountain Sword, then perhaps not even the strongest warriors of the Pre-Heaven Realm's fifth or sixth tier would be able to do anything to this stone gate.
