Chapter 0285: Mysterious Bottle

Qin Yun had been curious about why the Blue Spirit West Palace needed the beast oil, and now he understood that it was used to refine Mystic Steel.

Mystic Steel was a material used to refine Mystic artifacts. It was said that a strong flame was needed to burn Xuan Crystal Iron for a long time to obtain Mystic Steel.

Obtaining a large amount of Mystic Steel and using it to refine powerful Mystic Artifacts would undoubtedly strengthen any faction significantly.

Of course, the beast oil had another huge benefit: feeding Spiritual Demon Beasts.

"Those Spiritual Demon Beasts insist on eating humans to hatch their beast crystals; otherwise, with the beast oil we have, we could control a large number of them," Xiao Yanglong said, opening the lid of a large barrel.

"Ah Long, you said you want to marry Yang Shiyue as soon as possible. Is she willing? She is a Blue Spirit saintess now. If she isn't willing, we can't force her!" said the Yang Palace Lord.

"Don't worry, the Yang family, where Yang Shiyue belongs, is completely under my control. If Yang Shiyue disagrees, she will know the consequences!" Xiao Yanglong said confidently with a cold smile.

"Otherwise, the Yang family wouldn't have agreed to our engagement in the first place."

Qin Yun had already guessed that Yang Shiyue was being forced, and now it was confirmed.

"That's good! I'll be responsible for inviting powerful guests to ensure you have a grand wedding. After all, this is a great joy for our Blue Spirit West Palace!" The Yang Palace Lord laughed heartily, showing how much he valued Xiao Yanglong.

The young man who followed them was Zhang Hang, Xiao Yanglong's disciple. He looked about sixteen or seventeen years old and had already reached the ninth level of the Martial Body stage. Such a genius was very rare.

Zhang Hang said, "Master, isn't Qin Yun challenging you? If he comes, I'll handle him. I guarantee I'll make him kneel down and apologize to you! He’s so arrogant to challenge you and has repeatedly disrupted your plans!"

"Good, you'll handle it then. If he can't even beat you, there's no need to mention challenging me! It'll be satisfying to see my disciple beat him half to death!"

Xiao Yanglong patted Zhang Hang's shoulder and laughed heartily. "If you kill him, I’ll find a way to marry Yuelan off to you!"

Hearing this, Zhang Hang joyfully said, "Thank you, Master! That fiery girl Yuelan, I’ve been wanting to teach her a lesson in bed for a long time, hahaha... When the time comes, not only will I brutally beat Qin Yun, I'll also ride his woman, hahaha..."

Qin Yun, listening from his hiding spot, felt furious and wished he could rush out and smash Zhang Hang's arrogant mouth.

"Palace Lord, where do these barrels of beast oil come from? There are so many, and the beastmen have been eating it for a long time without finishing it!" Zhang Hang asked, retracting his fierce expression and looking at a large barrel.

Hiding in an empty barrel, Qin Yun was also very curious about this question.

"I don't know. In any case, this beast oil is a very precious resource in the Demon Realm!" The Yang Palace Lord shook his head, also filled with doubt.

Qin Yun, hiding in the barrel, couldn't get the answer and felt slightly disappointed.

Suddenly, he felt the empty barrel moving. The Bull-headed Beasts grabbed the empty barrel, put iron chains on it, and threw it into the deep well.

Qin Yun, hiding inside the well, panicked because he didn't know what would happen if he fell into the beast oil!

In his urgent situation, he quickly took out a Water Repelling Talisman.

The Water Repelling Talisman, made with Water Repelling Runes, would generate a continuous force when activated, preventing liquids from getting close.

Qin Yun had crafted this talisman after his previous dive into the Star Lake. It allowed him to remain submerged without making contact with the water.

"I don't know if the Water Repelling Talisman will work on this beast oil," Qin Yun thought as he activated the talisman, just as the barrel plunged hundreds of meters deep into the beast oil.

The Water Repelling Talisman worked, preventing the beast oil from touching his body.

It was as if a transparent shield enveloped his body, preventing the liquid from seeping in.

"Since I'm here, why not dive down and check it out!" A wild idea suddenly struck Qin Yun, and he actually climbed out of the barrel and dived deep into the oil well.

In this vast mountain range, there is one or two such oil wells near each mountain.

The Beastmen haul up barrels of beast oil from the wells, placing them on the empty ground next to the wells for the people of the Blue Spirit West Palace to collect.

The beast oil in the wells has always been abundant, never running dry over the years, which is truly incredible.

This is why Qin Yun decided to dive deep to investigate the origin of the beast oil.

After diving deep, Qin Yun soon sensed a jet of flow, which was the direction from which a large amount of beast oil was gushing out.

With a clear direction, Qin Yun immediately sped up, swimming towards the flow.

Thanks to his Jade Water Spirit Rune, he wasn’t touched by the beast oil; otherwise, it would have been extremely difficult to swim in the viscous liquid.

Deep beneath this area, there was a massive ocean of beast oil. Submerged in it, Qin Yun felt increasingly shocked and more curious about what could possibly cause such a vast amount of beast oil.

After over two hours, following the flow in the underground ocean of beast oil, Qin Yun reached a deep pit where the jet of flow became more intense.

He quickly took out a glowing stone to illuminate the front, discovering a bottle from which a large amount of beast oil was overflowing.

Qin Yun was astonished. The bottle, clearly not naturally formed, had been refined by someone. It was capable of holding such an enormous amount of beast oil.

He wasn’t surprised by the power of such a divine artifact, as his Nine Sun spirit soul was equally mysterious and potent.

He hurriedly swam over, grabbed the bottle, and dripped blood on it to claim ownership.

The claiming process went smoothly, but Qin Yun did not gain any specific information about the bottle, only that it contained a vast amount of beast oil.

"I wonder how much more there is. If not for me taking control, the beast oil would keep flowing out!" Qin Yun closely examined the bottle after acquiring it.

The bottle was black, seemingly an ordinary wine bottle, revealing nothing about its extraordinary properties.

What was even stranger was that Qin Yun could not pour any beast oil back into the bottle. It only allowed beast oil to flow out, which was quite eerie.

"Never mind, there's plenty inside anyway, so I won't need to go through as much trouble as Xiao Yanglong and the others to obtain it!" Qin Yun secretly rejoiced and then retraced his steps.

After roughly ten hours of effort, he finally escaped from the oil well. He timed his exit for nighttime, enabling him to blend into the shadows.

Qin Yun emerged from an oil barrel and immediately sensed the presence of Xiao Yanglong’s disciple, Zhang Hang.

Xiao Yanglong and Yang Palace Lord were no longer there; they had likely returned to the Blue Spirit Star Palace, leaving Zhang Hang in charge of overseeing the oil wells.

Zhang Hang was storing barrels of beast oil in a storage spirit artifact and did not notice Qin Yun, who had hidden in the shadows.

Thanks to the Jade Water Spirit Rune, Qin Yun wasn’t coated in beast oil. However, after exiting the oil barrel, he still hid next to a huge rock at the foot of the mountain.

Zhang Hang was not wearing the blue robes of the Blue Spirit Star Palace but a black shirt. He was small, with a sharp-nosed, monkey-like face, but his talent was indeed impressive. At seventeen or eighteen, he had already reached the ninth level of the Martial Body stage.

Whistling, he placed a lid on the barrel and then stored it.

Qin Yun pulled out a premium immobilization talisman and hurled it at Zhang Hang, enveloping him.

Zhang Hang immediately became immobilized, filled with terror, as he clearly recognized it as an immobilization talisman.

"Who!" Zhang Hang struggled to ask.

"Who? I'm Qin Yun, the one who's about to thoroughly defeat you!" Qin Yun grinned as he rushed forward, punching Zhang Hang in the abdomen with a flaming fist powered by raging inner energy.

The violent force of the Flaming Fist pierced through Zhang Hang's Diamond Inner Pellet, causing it to shatter, leaving Zhang Hang in immense pain.

"Qin... Qin Yun!" Zhang Hang spat blood and fearfully exclaimed in the godforsaken hellhole.

"Yes! I remember you said before that you were going to ride my woman, right?!?" Qin Yun said, and with that, he smacked Zhang Hang across the face. Though he didn't use much force, the blow twisted Zhang Hang's face.

Zhang Hang was in immense pain, filled with resentment and fear. He couldn't figure out how Qin Yun had appeared in such a place and had even overheard their conversation.

"Xiao Yanglong is indeed strong, but his dog-like disciple is far too weak!" Qin Yun said with a smile as he looked at Zhang Hang's painful expression. "This way, I can directly challenge Xiao Yanglong without having to deal with you, you worthless thing!"

With that, he began to extract Zhang Hang’s spirit soul.

Zhang Hang soon felt his shattered diamond core and spirit soul being slowly pulled out, causing him to scream in agony, but Qin Yun covered his mouth.

There had been rumors before that Qin Yun had mastered the soul refinement technique, though it was later denied.

Now, Zhang Hang could confirm that Qin Yun truly had mastered the soul-frightening soul refinement technique!

"You lapdog, now you know how formidable I am, huh? Haha, don’t worry. Xiao Yanglong and that Yang Palace Lord will die in an even worse manner than you!" Qin Yun exclaimed in surprise as he looked at the extracted spirit soul. "It's actually a Purple Gold Blade spirit soul, damn perfect! Just what I need for my weapon refinement; I'll integrate it into my blade. Thanks, lapdog!"

Zhang Hang was filled with hatred to the extreme. Originally, he had planned to challenge Qin Yun after he fought Xiao Yanglong, then defeat Qin Yun and use that to make a name for himself and show off.

But who would have thought that he would die in such a place!

Qin Yun stored the Purple Gold Blade spirit soul inside a soul-sealing pearl and then took away a jade pendant from Zhang Hang, which was a storage artifact.

"I can't die, I'm a genius cultivated by the Blue Spirit West Palace..."

Qin Yun sneered. "Go to hell! Go share your feelings with those other geniuses I've eliminated. With your pathetic self, you still thought about defeating me? And even dared to think about my woman!"

With that, he finished off the terrified and resentful Zhang Hang.

"So much oil, I can't let Xiao Yanglong and the others benefit from this!" Qin Yun stood near an oil well and formed a ball of flame, injecting it into the oil well.

The Bull-headed Beastmen working next to the oil well panicked and ran away from the well.
