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.
Chapter 97: Shield - 97
After placing the sword at the bottom of the pond, Zhou Fan flew up and exited it. After another brief look at the surroundings, he exited the cave that the pond resided in.
As he got back to the ravine, he took another quick look and left it. He would now go to another place in order to create another opportunity.
He flew to the left of the ravine and traveled in the sky, looking for good places to put a treasure. After an hour of slow flying, Zhou Fan found a huge mountain. The mountain was not one that had existed in the Zhou World for a long time, but one that had just formed with the expansion of the world.
By the looks of it, it may even be the new tallest mountain. An interesting thing about it was the fact that it existed alone. In fact, there was no other mountain for hundreds of miles. Even hills were quite rare.
Zhou Fan flew to the top and looked around. The top wasn't a peak, but a flat land surrounded by walls. The area inside the walls, while flat, had a couple of minerals and ores sticking out of the ground. That made it so you couldn't see every inch from one point.
Zhou Fan landed in the center of the flat area and started to walk around and observe the ores. There were diamonds and iron and even ores that Zhou Fan had never seen before. Those ores had small amounts of Qi in them and could be considered Qi ores, although they were only at the level of Qi gathering.
Even so, Zhou Fan believed that they would grow better the longer they existed. As he walked to the other side of one of the ores, he saw two things he hadn't seen before on the mountain.
One was a glowing green ore. With a single glance, Zhou Fan was able to tell that it was emerald ore filled with Qi. It even reached the level of foundation establishment, or grade 2.
The other thing he noticed was what surprised him. Sitting on top of the emerald ore was a huge beast a head taller than Zhou Fan and 3 times wider than him if he laid down on the ground. It had small rocky bumps covering its back and on the end of its tail was what seemed like a rock or a bone in the shape of a ball.
Zhou Fan had never seen such a beast on earth or in the Zhou world. In fact, he had never even heard of one. As Zhou Fan saw it, the beast saw him.
It didn't immediately attack and instead backed away while guarding itself and sending threats towards Zhou Fan like a rattlesnake.
All the while, Zhou Fan was looking at the beast with interest. He could easily tell that it wasn't a Qi beast, but its tail could kill a tenth level Qi gathering cultivator in an instant.
However, what most interested Zhou Fan was that the beast didn't fall into the category of anything he had ever seen.
Although there was one beast lands, there were many races within the beast lands. Even so, none of them were similar to the one he had just run into or any he had heard about.
Therefore, Zhou Fan came to the conclusion that the beast was a newly birthed species caused by the expansion of the world.
With his expertise in naming over the many years, Zhou Fan quickly found a fitting name for both the species and the specific beast.
The species would be called 'dinosaurs' while the one he saw would be called an 'ankylosaurus'.
As he was talking to himself, the beast stayed in its defensive stance, ready to attack. Since it wasn't going anywhere, Zhou Fan looked deeper into it.
He was soon able to tell that it was a vegetarian, or a herbivore. After seeing that, Zhou Fan walked towards it. It continued to slowly back up, but it eventually stopped and swung its tail at Zhou Fan with full force.
As it was coming towards him, Zhou Fan put his hand out to the side. The tail collided with his arm and stopped instantly. Not only did the tail not bounce back, but Zhou Fan's arm didn't budge.
With that, Zhou Fan was also able to tell that it had some intelligence since it started running away with fear clear in its eyes. It was quite fast despite its large weight. The ground shook as it ran down the mountain and disappeared behind some trees.
Zhou Fan chuckled and continued to look around the area. There were no more surprises and Zhou fan got ready to put down an opportunity.
He also decided to stay in the area for the next couple of days and discover the new species.
Zhou Fan stood on the ground and thought about what type of opportunity he would put. Since he was on a mountain, he considered an earth type opportunity. After that, he had no more fitting ideas. Therefore, he chose the earth type opportunity.
As for what type, he decided to create a weapon, or more specifically, a shield. Although Zhou Fan didn't personally like shields, it fit the earth element the best.
Zhou Fan gathered a bunch of earth Qi and formed it in the shape of a shield. The shield was ten feet tall and three feet wide. Although it had a handle, it could also be controlled with Qi by anyone at core formation.
After all, the opportunities were not specifically made for celestials or other humanoid beings. Zhou Fan tried to make them so that they could fit any race or species.
After designing the basic layout of the shield, he started to make the surrounding ores flow into it and strengthen it. They would help with the foundation of the shield and give it some color besides brown.
Just like the sword, the shield would grow with the owner. After giving it a few formations and making them invisible, Zhou Fan considered where to put the shield.
