Chapter 240 Black Nether Qi
Turning around, the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros silently looked at Blaze Regret, as if it were not it true Spirit Master.
With a helpless shrug, Blaze Regret opened his palm, and a silver spirit portal materialized, drawing the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros back in.
Seizing the moment while Blaze Regret was retrieving the Rock horn Dragon Rhinoceros, Swith Mark turned and ran desperately. But in the next instant, a gleaming ice blade pierced through his chest, embedding itself into a tree trunk with traces of blood.
"If you want to take someone else's life, you must be prepared to lose your own."
Blaze Regret clapped his hands, and his calm voice echoed quietly through the forest.
In the silent mountains, towering trees stretched their dense branches and leaves, resembling giant green umbrellas. Beneath one of these umbrellas, a panicked figure hurriedly dashed forward, the fear of a narrow escape still etched on his face.
"Damn it, that little brat is only a second tier spirit Imperial master, yet he possesses a fifth tier high ranking Imperial grade spirit beast. If not for that, he would have already died at Swith Mark's hands, and I wouldn't be in such a sorry state."
A low, vicious curse repeatedly emanated from Star Megami's mouth, filled with intense killing intent that sent chills down one's spine.
"However, your triumph will only last a few days. I have always been on good terms with the Blood Seal Sect's leader. As soon as I reach a range where I can use the Sound Transmitting Conch, I will make your life a living hell!" Star Megami's eyes were filled with venomous hatred.
"Swish!"
Just as Star Megami's harsh voice fell, a pale yellow figure suddenly leaped out from the dense forest. With a slight twist of its body, its threr tail, as sharp as a blade, mercilessly slashed across Star Megami's throat.
As his body gradually came to a halt, Star Megami looked at the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat crouching in front of him. His face turned ashen as he opened his mouth, and a jet of blood suddenly spurted out, staining the ground red. His body collapsed weakly onto the ground.
Shaking its furry little ears, the Three Tail Sun Blaze Cat, Red, walked out slowly, picked up Star Megami's void realms stone with its mouth, and instantly vanished from the scene.
As Red departed, several spiritual beasts that had been waiting approached with ferocious eyes. Their bloody mouths opened, emitting a foul stench as they viciously tore into the dying Star Megami.
With his face pressed tightly against the ground, Star Megami struggled to open his mouth but couldn't make a sound. His eyes, gradually losing their vitality, were filled with terror.
"This Swith Mark really had quite a fortune."
Scanning the void realms stone in his hand with his spiritual sense, Blaze Regret gave a faint smile. He then bent down and took Star Megami's void realms stone from the mouth of the returning Red.
"A map?" Blaze Regret opened the void realms stone and discovered a paper full of markings inside. Surprised, he spread it open.
As he scanned the map, Blaze Regret's expression gradually turned to one of extreme delight. The map marked the locations of many spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, as well as several dangerous areas. With this, he would no longer need to go to great lengths to find what he was looking for in the future.
After collecting both void realms stones, Blaze Regret cast a fleeting glance at Swith Mark's corpse, then turned and walked into the mountains without looking back.

The night deepened.
Leaning against the trunk of a towering ancient tree, Blaze Regret sat cross legged on the ground, carefully reading a thick ancient book. Several small night glow fireflies hovered above the pages, emitting a faint glow.
"To catalyze the seeds of the Mystic Fragrance Grass is so troublesome," Blaze Regret murmured, frowning slightly.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
According to the ancient book, the seeds of the Mystic Fragrance Grass could be quickly ripened using the Black Nether Qi from the Black Nether Abyss. However, this method was quite impractical for him at the moment; even Patel Rong, an eighth tier spirit Imperial master, had stumbled inside. If he rashly ventured in, he might not even know how he died.
"Black Nether Grass?" Blaze Regret continued flipping through the book, his eyes suddenly lighting up. It turned out that in Bloodstone Pass, not only did the Black Nether Abyss contain Black Nether Qi, but decades ago, several Black Nether Grass plants that had advanced to the Imperial grade had crawled out of the abyss and rapidly propagated in the nearby forest.
The leaf pods at the ends of their leaves could also produce a small amount of Black Nether Qi.
Although the quality couldn't compare to pure Black Nether Qi, it was still barely sufficient to catalyze a single seed of the Mystic Fragrance Grass.
"Opening a new spiritual portal is indeed not as easy as imagined," Blaze Regret sighed softly. But the thought of being able to tame another spiritual beast with an additional spiritual portal made his heart race with excitement.
"Right, that map..."
As if suddenly remembering something, Blaze Regret's heart stirred. With a flash of light from the void realms stone, the map drawn by Star Megami appeared in his hand. After a moment, he finally found the mark for the Black Nether Grass in an inconspicuous corner.
"Just as I suspected, the gathering place of the Black Nether Grass is also classified as a dangerous area. Once I advance to a fifth tier spirit imperial master, I'll make a trip there," Blaze Regret said with a pleased grin.
Although the Black Nether Grass had left the Black Nether Abyss, its strength remained formidable. According to the map's markings, the highest ranked plant within the Black Nether Grass group was of the seventh tier imperial grade, while most of the others were around the fifth tier imperial grade spirit beast level.
Ordinary spirit masters venturing there might enter, but they likely wouldn't make it out alive.
