Cultivation Pet Shop

247 Chapter 247

Even with Momonga's knowledge, he still couldn't tell what kind of an egg this was, so they just put it away in Lin Fan's system storage for now.

As for the other items, Momonga had already finished identifying them. He confirmed that they were all indeed special treasures and he had no choice but to admit that Angela's powers were real.

Take the first stone that she had found, while it looked like a normal stone, it actually contained a special ore inside. This was an ore that didn't even lose to the Sea Diamond in quality. In fact it was even rarer than the Sea Diamond.

When Lin Fan's Iron Eater Bone Artifact absorbed it, it immediately broke through once again, reaching the peak Embryo Soul Realm. It even came incredibly close to forming its spirituality and evolving as an artifact, but it was just a little bit short.

Once they finished checking everything and putting it all away, Lin Fan's group went back and headed through the portal marked exit.

Once again, with a flash of light and when they appeared, they appeared in a room that was similar to the last one.

This was also an area with several caves in the wall in front of them, as well as a wooden sign in the middle, but it was much smaller than the first trial. There were only at most twenty caves in the wall and there were two of them that had already been shut off.

They went over to the sign again and it read, "Welcome to the test of strength. Please choose a door to enter and defeat the three beasts inside to make it to the other side. Each beast will be stronger than the last, so please do take care."

It seemed like quite a straightforward test that there really wasn't anything to say about it. The only thing that was bad was that this wasn't a team test, so they would have to split for it.

However, since this was a test, it would mean that it wouldn't be impossible to pass. Or at least that's why Lin Fan was hoping. Otherwise if the opponents that he had to face were all in the Star Realm or above that, he definitely wouldn't be able to pass.

Still, just standing here wasn't a solution, so each one of them picked a door.

Momonga walked in without any hesitation, while Angela took one last look that had a trace of worry in it towards Lin Fan before walking through her own chosen door.

As soon as they walked through the entrance of the cave, there was a slab of rock that dropped down and completely sealed off the caves. It seemed like once one made a choice, they wouldn't be able to come back.

Lin Fan stood in front of his own cave for a bit before finally taking the first step.

Once he made it through the threshold of the cave, there was a slab of rock that also fell down behind him and sealed his cave off.

Since Lin Fan had taken the first step, it meant that he had already made up his mind, so he continued forward in that cave. But before he did, he also summoned Xiao Huo to create a ball of flame in front of him.

This cave was completely dark unlike the large room from before that was lit up with strange blue lights on the ceiling, so Lin Fan had to make his own light with this ball of flame.

It didn't take him long before he reached an exit with a bright light shining through.

When he reached the end of the passage, he appeared inside this room that was brightly lit, but contained nothing at all. It was a simple room that was made of the same dark blue material as outside, it couldn't be considered big, but it also couldn't be considered small. If one were to describe it, it would be around the same size as a martial arts arena.

But right after Lin Fan reached the center of the room, there was a loud sound that suddenly rang out. It sounded like rock grinding against each other and when he turned to look at the source of the sound, he saw that there was a piece of roof that was suddenly dropping down.

The platform made from the part of the roof slowly came down and there was a cage that was on that platform with something inside of it.

When Lin Fan's eyes fell onto the thing that was inside the cage, he couldn't help revealing a smile.

It seemed like his guess had been correct.

This was a test after all and even if it was a test of strength, if it only tested how strong one was based on their cultivation realm, it wouldn't be a test in a true sense. If someone in the mortal cultivation realms were to face someone beyond the Legendary Realm, that wouldn't make sense since that wouldn't be a test, it would just be a slaughter.

The beast that was inside the cage wasn't a super Star Realm beast that Lin Fan stood no chance against, it was just a simple low Platinum Realm beast that was just below Lin Fan's mid Platinum Realm cultivation. It seemed like this realm was nothing more than a warm up, or rather a measure of just how strong Lin Fan was.

The cage slowly came to the ground and Lin Fan saw the true appearance of the beast that he would have to face. This was a beast that was very similar to something that he had seen many times on earth.

This was a beast that had symbolized fortune on earth, so there were statues of it that were placed everywhere, but this wasn't just a statue, it was the real thing. The only funny thing was that it looked completely like a statue since it was completely made of stone.

It was a Stone Qilin!

The minute the platform reached the ground, the cage suddenly disappeared into the platform. Everything in this room was made of stone, so it all snapped together like a perfectly carved puzzle.

Once the cage had disappeared, the Stone Qilin saw Lin Fan. The moment it did see Lin Fan, it let out an aggressive roar that shook the room, but Lin Fan just smiled when he saw this.

This Stone Qilin had completely overestimated itself since Lin Fan was hiding his aura, so it thought that it was much stronger than him, but how wrong it was.

Normally, Lin Fan would have allowed Brainy to take this Stone Qilin as a puppet, but now he disdained having such a weak beast. If it wasn't at least a King Beast, he didn't want to waste one of Brainy's seeds on it.

But to be honest, Brainy was actually slowly running out of seeds to use. Between maintaining its scouts and all the other beasts that it had taken last time in the planar crack, it only had a few seeds left to use unless Brainy broke through. However, there was still some time before Brainy broke through, so now was the time to save the seeds.

Lin Fan looked at the Stone Qilin like it was just a little kid who knew nothing as it charged at him. Then when it came close, Lin Fan raised his hand which had a golden glow around it and he punched out.

With just a single punch, the Stone Qilin had been sent flying right into the wall, but even with the force that it was sent flying at, it didn't damage the wall at all.

The Stone Qilin's eyes were rolled back and it had been completely knocked out, with even parts of its stone body shattering to the ground.

The moment the Stone Qilin had slammed into the wall, the passage to the next room had already opened, but Lin Fan didn't have time for that now. He was more curious about what the walls of this room were made of that he couldn't make a single dent in it at all.

But even after looking it over, Lin Fan couldn't make sense of what it was and he definitely couldn't take a chunk out to study, so he had no choice but to just leave it there.

Of course, he wouldn't just leave that Stone Qilin there since he had already defeated it. He finished off the Stone Qilin with a single hit to the head and then took out the demon core before putting the corpse in his storage. After that, he headed down the passage once again.

After moving through the passage, he eventually reached another room that was just like the first one and the same thing happened when he reached this room. There was another platform that came down from the roof with the same cage and beast on it, but this time the aura that the beast gave was much stronger than the last one.

It was in the peak Platinum Realm and the aura it gave was just a grade higher than the power that Lin Fan had just shown, which meant that if the level of power that Lin Fan had shown before was his full power, he definitely wouldn't be able to win. However, that of course was not the case.

When the cage came down, it revealed the same Stone Qilin as before.

When the Stone Qilin was revealed, this time Lin Fan didn't wait as he flew out with his fist raised, but this time his fist was covered in two different coloured lights.

With a single punch, he had sent that Stone Qilin flying right into the wall just like the first one.
