Chapter 95: Fortune Space - 95
In the meantime, Zhou Fan would have to find something to entertain him. At first, he thought about creating another race, but he decided that he doesn't want to confuse things and instead leave them as they are.
The next idea that Zhou Fan had was to make a way for the residents of the Zhou world to increase their strength. After brief consideration, he decided that the best way to do so would be to create rare encounters.
They would be reserved for the lucky and the deserving. As for the form they would be in, he soon decided that fruits were his best bet. He could design them in any way he chose and even pick out their effects.
After having the idea, Zhou Fan had to choose whether or not he would put the fruits everywhere or in a certain region. After another period of deliberation, he decided that it would be best to do both. He would put fruits in every section of the world, but he would put very few.
In a selected region, he would put a denser concentration of fruits. He would also have to populate it with powerful defenders so that you would either have to be strong enough or extremely lucky.
As for exactly where he would put them, he chose the very top of the world. Since the residents of the world didn't pay much attention to the top, he would be able to mess with it freely.
Zhou Fan then teleported to the very top of the world, the north pole. There was no flag or anything, and it was very cold. In fact, it was much colder than earth's north pole due to the existence of Qi. The Qi of the world had interfered with everything and made everything stronger as a result.
Cold Qi and snow Qi, along with the many other Qi's that could apply to the snowy terrain, flourished and dropped the temperature to an extreme degree.
Zhou Fan estimated that it was negative 500 degrees fahrenheit. Any mortal or even those at foundation establishment would freeze instantly.
The cold didn't bother Zhou Fan as he surrounded an area of 10,000 square miles with his divine sense to use as his development space.
He would call it the fortune space. It would continue to grow with the world like the rest of the planet.
Zhou Fan decided to start from the center of the development space and go out from there. The core area would be 100 square miles and be the most dangerous and most fruitious.
He would need a guardian of the area and it would need to be as strong as Anna and the dragon king at the minimum.
He would make a tiger as the king. However, it wouldn't exactly be alive. It would be extremely hard to make a living creature with talent equal to Anna and the dragon king, so Zhou Fan decided to make an artificial being. It would be able to think and act like a living being, but its strength and even its life would be completely controlled by Zhou Fan like a puppet.
It would still be able to eat, poop, and perform the daily things of a living being, but it wouldn't truly be alive. Nobody would know, however, since Zhou Fan would mask it as one. Even itself may not know it isn't truly living.
Zhou Fan started by controlling cold Qi, ice Qi, frost Qi, and yin Qi to form the shape of a tiger. He then gave it various features such as a mouth, nose, tail, and other features. In the end, it acted like and looked like a real white tiger.
Zhou Fan even considered it a living being after he gave it intelligence despite the fact that it was artificially made. Once it was born, it automatically considered Zhou Fan its father.
However, Zhou Fan simply created a cave and threw it in there, softly. He also gave it instructions directly to its brain and explained how it would continue to gain strength for a year straight until it reached the 4th level of void traversing.
He then created an invisible link between Anna and the tiger so that whenever she broke through to another level, a signal would take some of Zhou Fans Qi and increase the tiger's strength.
Naturally, Anna would never know the link existed.
After he did that, he explained the white tigers' purpose to him. His sole goal was to kill anybody who intrudes into the center of the core area. If they stayed outside a certain boundary within the core area, they would only be attacked by the other monsters or beasts that lived there.
Zhou Fan then created ten more monsters to take care of the core area. They ranged from the first level of void traversing to the 10th level of soul formation.
Afterwards, he used 1000 square miles to create an inner area. He once again created beasts, this time with the strength of soul formation 5 to nascent soul 10.
The final bit was used as the outer area. He put beasts with various strengths around it. They went from foundation establishment to nascent soul.
Overall, the farther you went in, the stronger the beasts were. The next step was to put fruits and other strength increasing items around the areas. Like the strengths of the beasts, their quality would increase the farther they were in the center.
He also made sure that every monster and beast knew not to touch the items but only guard them.
The first one he added was in the center, near the white tiger. He made a red tree that beared fruit once every hundred years. The fruit had red and black stripes and would give an amazing effect.
It would give anyone who ate it a ten times increase in cultivation speed for 10 years. In order for that effect to take place, Zhou Fan had to infuse an extremely large amount of Qi into the fruit.
Chapter 96: Opportunities - 96
After placing the first fruit next to the tiger, Zhou Fan moved on to the other places in the core area. He put different fruits near the living area of the other beasts.
In total, he added 20 fruits. Each of the fruits had an effect of increasing cultivation speed by five times for five years. He then moved on to the inner area where he placed 100 fruits in random areas.
This time, the fruits had different effects. Some would increase the damage one does for a period of time, and some would give a poison to whoever ate it. There were also fruits that increased cultivation speed, often by a margin of 2 times for two years.
He repeated the process by placing 1000 in the outer area.
Every single fruit, regardless of the area it was in, was hidden and guarded completely. Even Anna and the Dragon King would find it difficult to discover a single fruit.
Some fruits had puzzles that needed to be completed while others were hidden in buildings with booby traps.
Although he had considered it, Zhou Fan ended up not putting anything else besides fruits in the fortune land. However, he would only put non-fruits outside of the fortune land.
He thought about putting special weapons or made up inheritances to help increase the strength of whoever was lucky enough to find it.
He deliberated with himself for an entire week before he got to work on placing items outside the fortune land. The first place he went to was a big ravine that cracked through the ground and went miles deep. He flew to the bottom of the ravine and discovered that it was quite cold and cool, contrary to what he thought he would see.
There were even plants strewn about on the ground. Curious, Zhou Fan walked around the entire ravine in search of the source.
He only had to walk through half of it before he saw a hole on the side of one of the ravine walls. Coming out of it was a blue glow that clearly gave off cold Qi.
After entering it, he walked through about 200 feet of twists and turns before entering a blue chamber. The chamber was hundreds of feet tall and wide and filled with glowing blue crystals.
Each of the crystals gave off frost and cold Qi. They were naturally the source of the coolness within the cave.
In the middle of the cave was an icy blue pond that should have been frozen over based on the temperature. However, it simply had a different color from normal water.
In a moment of curiosity, Zhou Fan examined both the stones and the pond of water. He was able to instantly discern that the stones were somewhat like spirit stones, but were mostly made up of cold elements such as frost Qi and cold Qi.
As for the pond water, it was something that Zhou Fan had never seen before. It was as if being near the group of spirit stones for so long had made it special itself.
Zhou Fan estimated that if one were to drink the water in the cave, they would experience a boost in cultivation. In some ways, the opportunity that Zhou fan was planning to artificially place was already here.
However, not everyone would be able to venture down the ravine and not many would even if they could. It would take something extremely lucky, like falling from the top and landing on a thick bush at the bottom, for someone to discover the specialness of the ravine.
Even if someone was lucky enough to fall down into the ravine and discover the cave, they would still have to have some cultivation to survive the low temperature in the area with the water and stones.
Someone at the 7th level of Qi condensation would probably be fine surviving in it.
Zhou Fan walked over to the water once he identified it and grabbed a handful before drinking it.
As it slid down his throat, Zhou Fan was immensely surprised at how pleasant it was. It was like drinking an icy and refreshing water after sitting in the hot sun for hours. In fact, it was even better than that.
After drinking the water, Zhou Fan even considered making his own. He felt it nourish him with Qi, but it was such a miniscule amount that he barely even felt it. Cultivating for a second would have better effects than a cup of the water.
For someone at nascent soul or lower, however, it would give them an increase of about a single level. The lower the cultivation, the better the effects.
Despite the fact that there was already a naturally formed opportunity in the ravine, Zhou Fan still decided to add something. After having the idea, he jumped into the pond of water and sank to the bottom.
The bottom reached only 50 feet, so the journey was quick. As expected, there were no living beings in the pond.
As he reached the bottom, Zhou Fan began to look around and make sure he saw the absolute deepest spot.
Once he located it, he moved towards it and stood on top of it. He then formed a sword from Ice Qi and connected it to the mortal Dao of the world before sticking it in the ground. Leaving its hilt and half of its blade showing. The sword was a classic sword that could have been seen on earth, but it was very different from any other sword Zhou Fan had seen.
The sword he stuck at the bottom would grow with its user unless its user exceeded the strength of the world, or more accurately, Zhou Fan.
He had accomplished that by connecting it to the mortal Dao of the Zhou world. Another bonus was that it would be extremely strong everytime it grew.
Even if its user was at the 5th level of Qi gathering, the sword would allow him to be equal to a first level foundation establishment cultivator if he was talented.
