"Qin Fang, he..."

Pang Sihai naturally noticed this scene, his eyes full of surprise, then carefully asked... Although Jia Siping is still unconscious at the moment, he clearly felt some differences.

It seems...

"He will be fine, he'll wake up soon..."

Qin Fang just smiled nonchalantly and said, then took out an elixir and stuffed it into Jia Siping's mouth.

Pang Sihai is an expert in poisons, and he is also skilled in identifying them. As soon as this elixir was brought out, Pang Sihai immediately knew this was definitely not poison, and even the faint fragrance proved it was mostly a healing elixir.

He knew Qin Fang was an alchemist, and naturally, he wouldn't be lacking in elixirs...

In the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, various medicinal herbs are extremely abundant and diverse, making it a paradise for alchemists. As long as you have the formula, it should be possible to gather materials to refine any kind of elixir... Some mere healing elixirs are even less worth mentioning.

Jia Siping's condition was very bad, having been tortured a lot earlier, but he was following Qin Fang's instructions, just torturing him while keeping him alive. Now that he's taken the elixir, his injuries are expected to heal soon.

What worried Pang Sihai even more was that he suspected Jia Siping had already been controlled by Qin Fang... just like when he controlled those eighteen Nether Beasts, turning Jia Siping into a puppet with no autonomy.

Buzz~~

Soon Pang Sihai felt a strange aura, and when he shifted his gaze to Jia Siping, he found that he had already opened his eyes, with a very strange expression showing in them.

Quite sharp, yet without a hint of confusion...

At this moment, Qin Fang seemed quite satisfied, casually untying the Crocodile Jiao's Tendon from Jia Siping.

"Master..."

Jia Siping immediately jumped up from the ground, holding the Bloody Cloud Sword in his hand. Pang Sihai almost instinctively wanted to defend himself, but Jia Siping walked over to Qin Fang and addressed him with extreme respect.

"M-Master?"

Upon hearing Jia Siping call Qin Fang his master, despite having suspected it earlier, Pang Sihai was still very shocked... Jia Siping isn't some insignificant character; he is a prominent figure among the younger generation of the Demon Gate Blood Devil Sect and a Grandmaster-level Expert.

A person like that holds an extremely high position even within the Blood Devil Sect, and in terms of power, he's not inferior to some seasoned Grandmaster-level Experts... He even qualifies to vie for the future position of Sect Master of the Blood Devil Sect.

Yet now, he was calling a much younger man, a disciple of the Five Righteous Sects Qin Fang, master...

Pang Sihai suddenly felt a chill all over...

He had suspected earlier that Qin Fang's secret technique could be used on people, and now Jia Siping had proven it with undeniable fact, how could Pang Sihai not be shocked and worried?

In terms of strength, he's actually weaker than Jia Siping, let alone comparing with Qin Fang.

"No need to be alarmed, I'm not going to target you..."

Qin Fang understood why Pang Sihai had such a reaction, but considering the two had experienced hardships together, he really didn't intend to use the Soul Control Technique on Pang Sihai.

"At least not now..."

Of course, when it's necessary to warn, he would still do so.

Relationships are limited, and if Pang Sihai makes some very unwise decisions, Qin Fang wouldn't mind a counterattack...

"Won't! Won't..."

Pang Sihai was astute, naturally understanding Qin Fang's meaning, immediately rushing to express.

Looking at Jia Siping's current state, if Qin Fang asked him to eat dirt, he would surely agree without hesitation, if he ended up like this, he might as well finish himself cleanly with a knife...

Of course, if it really came to that, he wouldn't even be able to commit suicide...

"Qin Fang, what do we..."

Pang Sihai didn't want to dwell on this issue anymore, but instead carefully asked... After so many events, his attitude towards Qin Fang has greatly changed, his status slowly evolving towards that of a follower or lackey.

Of course, this isn't something to be ashamed of...

In this chaotic martial world, respect for the strong is the norm, and submitting to their power isn't shameful; rather, opposing the absolute strong ones is more likely to lead to death and oblivion.

Take Pang Sihai the Poison Demon for example, with his considerable strength and perseverance, he has made quite a name for himself in the martial world...

However, when those true powerhouses mention him, the first thing that comes to their mind is still one of his identities... He is the direct disciple of the Old Poison Monster!

If you set aside this identity, those strong contenders wouldn't even bother to notice him!

"Let's take a break here for a while..."

After considering for a moment, Qin Fang decided to take a break and pointed at Jia Siping, saying, "With him keeping watch, we can relax a bit..."

Jia Siping has now become Qin Fang's soul slave. Besides needing to ensure normal food intake, his rest time can be compressed… and he's more reliable than those Nether Beasts. After all, he is human, and his vigilance and alertness are much stronger.

"True that, after a tiring night, I want to rest for a while too..."

Hearing what Qin Fang said, Pang Sihai also nodded, and a wave of sleepiness hit him immediately.

Last night, the two of them stayed in the Nine Serenities Forbidden Lands, which was extremely dangerous. They did not dare to close their eyes the entire night, and later on, the incident with the Teng Jiao and the Jiu You Spirit occurred, followed by a dip in the water.

After that, they sprinted dozens of kilometers before they were finally safe.

Qin Fang simply gave Jia Siping an instruction, and then he and Pang Sihai went into the cave to rest... Jia Siping blocked the cave entrance, and at the same time, Qin Fang released eighteen Nether Beasts to guard alongside him.

This way, safety is greatly assured...

As long as they don't encounter those terrifyingly strong Spiritual Beast Kings, Jia Siping and the eighteen Nether Beasts could easily handle it.

Pang Sihai seemed too exhausted as well and soon sat cross-legged, silently entering a meditative state of cultivation... this was also a way of resting.

Naturally, Qin Fang adopted the same method...

However, the reason he chose to rest wasn't because he was extremely tired or weary, but because he had other matters at hand.

"What on earth did the Jiu You Spirit give me?"

At that time, when Qin Fang interacted with the Jiu You Spirit, he found it had no malice towards him and even gave him a little something... but the journey was too hectic, he simply had no leisure to inspect it.

Now they finally could rest, so naturally, he had to take a look.

It seemed as though there was a voice in the dark telling him that he got some very precious treasures from the Jiu You Spirit...

If it really was a treasure, it might provide considerable help to Qin Fang in such a perilous environment like the Barbaric Wilderness Mini Secret Realm, potentially even enhancing his strength!

Qin Fang slowly began operating his cultivation while also examining some changes within his body...

He clearly felt that when the treasures the Jiu You Spirit gave him melded into his being, his True Qi, Gang Qi, and elemental energy all became significantly stronger than before.

He was trying to use these changes to trace their origin...

But clearly, he was overthinking a bit.

When he looked inside his dantian, he astonishingly discovered...

"Is this... a Wutu Crystal?"

Qin Fang looked as if he had seen a ghost... because in his dantian, in the region occupied by elemental energy, a yellowish-brown crystal was floating there, with the surrounding Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Vermilion Bird energies absorbing some spirit power from this crystal.

These energies were actually all earth spirit energies, and Qin Fang had not cultivated Black Tortoise True Qi, naturally unable to occupy a place in the Four Symbols Prime Qi... but the Four Symbols Prime Qi were naturally complementary and opposing, the other three kinds of elemental energies could absorb this spirit energy, then gradually transform it.

"Hahahahaha... This truly is a delightful surprise!"

Seeing this yellowish-brown crystal, Qin Fang showed an expression of wild joy... Fortunately, Pang Sihai had already meditated, otherwise, he would definitely have been startled by Qin Fang's nearly frenzied reaction.

Qin Fang immediately took out the Black Tortoise Qi Cultivation Technique from the Props Box...

This Black Tortoise Qi Cultivation Technique was one of the earliest Four Symbols Qi Cultivation Techniques Qin Fang had obtained, but it was also the one Qin Fang had been unable to learn or cultivate until now...

However, the appearance of this Wutu Crystal solved Qin Fang's problem.

Without the slightest hesitation, Qin Fang immediately chose to cultivate this Black Tortoise Qi Cultivation Technique...

He lightly tapped the book, and it immediately shot out an earthen yellow light that quickly sank into Qin Fang's body... without any magical light erupting, with no burst of elemental energy, everything was calm and tranquil, as if no change had occurred.

But in reality...

In Qin Fang's dantian, extremely potent and peculiar changes were occurring...

After completing the cultivation of the Black Tortoise Qi Cultivation Technique, the Wutu Crystal immediately emitted an incredibly terrifying aura, a series of earthen yellow spirit energies shot out, quickly dispersing the other three kinds of elemental energies, occupying a section, and rapidly expanding and solidifying...

With the aid of this Wutu Crystal, the advancement of the Black Tortoise Vital Energy was unbelievably terrifying, even the strongest Azure Dragon Vital Energy within Qin Fang's body was being gradually suppressed and crowded out by this newborn Black Tortoise Vital Energy, the Black Tortoise Vital Energy's status was becoming increasingly stable...(To be continued.
