Chapter 112: Iron Ball Fruit

  "What a strange canyon, the wind is so strong! I was originally moving forward, but now to maintain speed, I have to retreat!" Qin Yong exclaimed.

  At this time, Qin Yong entered the canyon passage and walked for about a few hundred meters. From originally advancing easily to now needing to retreat backwards, under the push of the wind power he maintained his original speed moving forward. This made Qin Yong surprised and even more cautious on guard.

  "The wind is strong and vigorous, as if it has transformed from nothingness to somethingness. Going with the wind doesn't necessarily mean it's a help, the key lies in oneself!" Qin Yong felt a slight sense of feeling in his heart at this moment.

  In this strange canyon, Qin Yong's footsteps were difficult under the influence of the wind, and he had to be on guard against unexpected situations. However, being in such an environment unexpectedly made Qin Yong's original understanding of the wind reappear. Previously, Qin Yong saw the trajectory of the wind, but due to a misunderstanding, he lost the opportunity to understand the meaning of the wind. Although he became more sensitive to the wind from then on, it was extremely difficult for him to encounter another opportunity to understand. Now in this strange canyon, as the wind gradually strengthened and transformed from intangible to tangible, Qin Yong once again had an epiphany.

  This time, Qin Yong no longer focused on the trajectory and direction of the wind, but instead walked forward slowly while looking at these winds that seemed to be visible, thinking to himself: "These winds are not natural, but have been affected by something, changing their trajectory?"

  Qin Yong still remembers the last failure, and will not make the same mistake again. This time, Qin Yong did not observe the trajectory and direction of the wind, but directly felt the mystery in the wind. As he moved forward slowly, Qin Yong's understanding of the wind deepened a bit, and soon encountered a bottleneck.

  Far from being disappointed, Qin Yong's eyes lit up and his heart became slightly agitated. This bottleneck was a boundary of understanding, and if he couldn't break through it, he would be confined to this level of understanding, unable to make progress, and could only wait for the next opportunity. But if he broke through, he would immediately grasp the realm of Half-Step Wind.

  It seems that only half of the intent has been grasped, just like Qin Yong has already mastered half of the sword intent, and even one-tenth hasn't been achieved. Among the outer sect disciples, only the top three have grasped half of the intent, and within the inner sect, there are no more than twenty people who have comprehended the intent. Moreover, most of these individuals have only comprehended one type, and those who can comprehend two or more are limited to the inner sect's three great geniuses. Even among the core disciples, many have only grasped a single intent.

  It can be said that if Qin Yong could grasp even half of the intent of the wind, his strength would increase again. Just using the intent of the wind was already so effective, let alone the Wind Cloud Sword Technique and the Void Traveling Steps; the intent of the wind greatly helped him, completely able to raise its power and effect by a lot.

  As he moved forward, Qin Yong felt the wind force getting stronger and stronger, almost having to use his full strength just to maintain this speed. This made Qin Yong's face turn serious, and he temporarily stopped to comprehend, if things continued like this, the situation would be very bad, if he continued to venture deeper, he might get stuck in a stalemate, unable to escape the influence of the wind. At that time, unless he really comprehended the realm of the wind, Qin Yong would be like being trapped in a quagmire, unable to escape.

  At this time, Qin Yong had a bottom line in his heart. If he went forward for another hundred meters, it should be the maximum limit he could bear. If it still didn't work out, he would have to withdraw immediately. He would rather not go to explore the treasure or legacy than put himself in that dangerous situation.

  Now Qin Yong has come here alone, and in this strange canyon, apart from the wind, it is unknown whether there will be other situations. Once in danger, Qin Yong doesn't even have the opportunity to wait for rescue, because no one knows he's here, and at that time, he can only rely on luck to see if he can hold on or not.

  Suddenly, when Qin Yong was about 20 meters away from the strong wind, the direction of the wind changed from inward to outward, making a 180-degree turn. This caused Qin Yong, who was originally using force to move backward, to suddenly retreat backward and then be blown back by the forward wind from behind, finally falling to the ground.

  Qin Yong stood up with some pain, and at this moment, the position where he was standing was a bit strange. He felt the wind pressure squeezing him from both sides, as if he were standing in the center of the wind. This made Qin Yong feel surprised and quickly observe his surroundings to see if there was anything unusual nearby.

  There must be something here that affects the direction of the wind, otherwise it wouldn't be so strange. Perhaps the most precious thing should be deeper in the canyon, but what's here is absolutely not simple. After all the effort to get here, Qin Yong didn't want to leave empty-handed, knowing that there must be treasure nearby.

  After a long time, Qin Yong finally fixed his gaze on the ground below, and tentatively stepped on it. The ground was very solid. Qin Yong squatted down and started digging with both hands, but the soil was quite hard, and his hands were slightly sore from digging. Qin Yong stood up and took off the scabbard of the Wind Cloud Sword as well, and began to dig with the scabbard in hand. With the help of the Wind Cloud Sword, the speed suddenly increased a lot.

  Soon, Qin Yong felt that the Wind Cloud Sword had hit something hard. This situation made Qin Yong's eyes light up, and he accelerated a bit to dig out the object. Finally, Qin Yong picked it up and held it in his hand for a closer look. Originally, Qin Yong thought it should be an ore or metal, but now he was suspicious again.

  "Could it be a kind of fruit after all?" Qin Yong stared at the object in his hand with some doubt.

  It was round like an iron ball, but there were some strange patterns on it, and it emitted a faint fragrance that made people want to swallow it when they smelled it. Holding it in his hand, he had the feeling of touching a fruit, which made Qin Yong suspicious.

  "Appraise it." Qin Yong didn't hesitate and used his Appraisal LV1 crest.

  In this case, Qin Yong didn't forget the existence of the LV1 appraisal mark, which allowed him to appraise mysterious items. The appraisal mark was quickly formed, but when Qin Yong received the information, his face changed slightly. It wasn't that there was anything wrong with the iron ball-like object that surprised Qin Yong, but rather that he hadn't obtained any information about this thing from the LV1 appraisal mark.

  This was the first time this had happened, and Qin Yong was somewhat surprised. The Air Fortune Badge shouldn't have made a mistake, but he hadn't gotten any information from the Appraisal LV1 badge. Soon, Qin Yong calmed down his breathing, staring at the Iron Ball Fruit with a burning gaze, thinking of a possibility, and his originally calm heart became excited again.

  "It's not a Xuan-level item, could it be a Di-level one?" Qin Yong's breathing became slightly more rapid again, this time with excitement. "To figure out the situation, I can only use an Appraisal LV2 symbol, that should allow me to appraise it. This way, I'll have to rebuy two Appraisal LV1 symbols and a Synthesis LV1 symbol, which will cost 300 Qi points!"

  Three hundred aura points, this is absolutely not a small amount, but now Qin Yong still has four thousand three hundred aura points left, and plundering aura has become much easier. Three hundred aura points, Qin Yong can still afford to spend, especially now that he has this thing in his hands, sooner or later he will have to use the Appraisal LV2 symbol to appraise it. Even a mysterious grade may arouse greed in martial artists, let alone an earthly grade, just like the Water Yuan Fruit, taking it out will definitely make even inner door disciples feel moved, and even core disciples may be shocked into action.

  Sorry, I was busy with work and Fat Fish didn't get off until 10:30. Today was almost killed by exhaustion, there's only one chapter today.
