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.
