Chapter 160 – Blood Forbidden Trial
Upon hearing this, Han Li knew that the other party was persuading him out of goodwill, so he had no choice but to helplessly agree to a couple of random comments before he forked his words and finally opened his mouth to ask about the Foundation Establishment Pill’s main medicine.
”Senior Brother Han wants to know the provenance of spiritual medicines such as the Chalcedony Cheese?” Wu Feng asked in surprise.
”Yes, Senior Brother should know something after so many years in this sect!” Han Li asked expectantly.
When Wu Feng heard this, he pondered for a moment before saying, “Of course I know a bit, but I would advise senior brother to die of this heart! Not only is it incomparably dangerous there, but it’s simply impossible to get close to it under ordinary circumstances, and only at a specific time and place can one enter it with the help of the division’s elders.”
At first hearing that the other party knew, Han Li’s heart was delighted, but the words that followed caused him to be taken aback, and he hurriedly pursued the matter.
It turned out that these types of spirit medicines had become scarce in the Immortal Cultivation World a long time ago, and had simply disappeared into obscurity in ordinary places. Now the only places where they can still be found are those so-called forbidden places.
Since they can be called forbidden places by Immortal Cultivators, these places are of course extremely dangerous, and are generally the kind of environment that is harsh and remote. Some of them are still some demon’s lair, must be killed all the way through, and there are some ancient forbidden laws, must be difficult to break the ban, only to hope to enter the inside.
The Yellow Maple Valley and other cultivation sects in Yue, over the years, the main medicine of the Foundation Establishment Pill is from the latter kind of forbidden land, that is, a certain place that has been closed by the wind-attribute ancient forbidding.
The forbidden law there is very powerful, originally with the power of their Immortal Cultivation Sect is no hope to open. But later somehow was discovered, this forbidden law every five years will have five days of weakening period, during this period if there are several JieDan stage cultivators together spell forcibly break the forbidden words, can temporarily open a pathway, can let a certain number of people into the interior.
But at that time, when the pathway appeared and all the Immortal Cultivators tried to go in, another accident appeared.
The Immortal Cultivators after Foundation Establishment were all blocked out by another weird prohibition in the inner layer, while those in the Qi Refining Stage entered its interior without any hindrance, and also collected a large number of rare spiritual medicines and brought them out.
This discovery immediately stirred up the cultivation world of Yue, so every five years, the seven major cultivation sects would send a group of disciples below the Foundation Establishment Stage into the forbidden land to collect a large number of spirit medicines, and of course, the main medicine of Foundation Establishment Pill was one of the most important ones.
At the beginning, the disciples of each Immortal Cultivation Sect can still not offend each other, each acting separately, for the selected disciples, this is a great beauty. However, with the continuous collection and scavenging over the years, the spiritual medicine in the forbidden land gradually became scarce, and the disputes between various sects over a certain strange medicine began to occur continuously. At a certain time hundreds of years ago, there were even disciples who lost their lives in the fight.
The appearance of human life on that occasion caused the major sects to completely tear each other apart, simply explicitly playing the banner of the weak and the strong, heaven and earth are not benevolent, encouraging the disciples to rob others, making the trip to the forbidden land completely colored with blood.
In this way, the spiritual medicine is gradually decreasing, and the scramble within the forbidden land is also more intense than once, more bloody than once.
In the last hundred years, due to the killing was too fierce, the disciples who could come out alive from the forbidden land was less than one-third of the original, so that the elite disciples in the lower ranks of each sect had lost a lot! More so that the sects of disciples began to forbidden land trip called “blood forbidden trial”, have begun to avoid not to go, and even once appeared no one willing to go to the embarrassing scene.
As for forcing the hard send, that of course even more can not.
Because if it is not sincere into the forbidden land in search of medicine disciples, then he will certainly be perfunctory, nine times out of ten will find a place to hide, and so on time to come out again peacefully.
This kind of thing is not unheard of, so that the upper level of the dispatch of their anger, but there is nothing to be done. After all, people originally did not want to go, it is you hard to send people into the risk of this strange, then what can be accused!
So, in the country of Vietnam, each faction of the spiritual medicine more prying, but few voluntary adventure disciples, all the sects began to use the heavy reward to recruit disciples of the forbidden land trip, and can be brought out from the forbidden land of the spiritual medicine and the degree of heavy reward hooked up.
Other sects aside, let’s just talk about Yellow Maple Valley itself!
Since the last couple of times, the sect has explicitly stipulated that as long as a disciple enrolls to participate, he will be given a middle-ranked spirit stone and a spirit weapon from the sect beforehand as an encouragement.
When they can really bring out the spiritual medicine from the forbidden land, the door will also give even more generous prizes depending on the amount and quality of the things they bring! There were everything from spirit stones to magic weapons and spirit pills, and even higher rewards included the sect’s secret stash of Foundation Establishment Pills, something that was enough to make the lower-ranked disciples put up a fight.
Such high and heavy rewards had indeed caused the Immortal Cultivation Sect to experience a surge of enrollment for a time, but such a situation only lasted for a short two or three times before it completely lowered.
The bloody reality made the disciples realize that the reward was not that good!
Because the original did not use the heavy reward stimulation, can survive in the forbidden land scramble down one-third of the people, but after the heavy reward can go out of the blood forbidden trial even less than a quarter of the people, and alive disciples, can bring out of the spirit medicine of the people is even more less and less, most of the people in addition to a serious injury, is simply nothing, not to mention the exchange for the Foundation Establishment Dan.
And it was in this situation that Han Li asked Wu Feng about the provenance of a few spirit medicines.
Now, after hearing what the other party said, Han Li’s heart was nothing but depressed!
Unexpectedly, the collection of some medicinal herbs actually have to go to what forbidden land, and also and other sect disciples to kill, and finally win before you can get out. And the proportion of survivors is even more disparate amazing, only less than a quarter of the people can get out of this so-called “blood forbidden trial”.
This risk is also too big, right! He is not a master, in the Yellow Maple Valley low-ranking disciples, just ranked in the middle level.
So there is no profound magic power, also did not master powerful spells, the only thing that can rely on is that a few pieces of magic weapon is not bad as well as not stupid mind.
But only rely on these, Han Li how will not think for sure can become a member of the last quarter.
So irritated, he couldn’t help but ask Wu Feng: Why can’t the Immortal Sects restrain their disciples from sharing the elixir together? If you know that these medicines are used to jointly refine the Foundation Establishment Dan anyway, then why should you have to make a scene and make a grudge?
As a result, when Wu Feng heard this, he immediately replied with a bitter smile, ”Senior brother doesn’t know, even if the Foundation Establishment Pills are jointly refined, the distribution of the pills all depends on the amount of pills provided by each sect to be distributed proportionally. In this situation, how could it not be possible for the various sects to desperately scramble for the elixir?”
Han Li listened speechlessly for half a day.
In the end, with his stomach full of worries, he asked clearly that the next Blood Forbidden Trial would be half a year later, and left the Transmission Pavilion under Senior Brother Wu’s instructions, returning to the Hundred Medicinal Gardens.
In the next few days, Han Li thought about this matter listlessly all day, repeatedly weighing the stakes and risks involved, trying to force himself to make a wiser choice.
Obviously here in Vietnam, outside of the forbidden land, is unable to find these three elixirs, otherwise the seven great immortal factions do not have to fight every five years to carry out the internal self-weakening.
If Han Li did not want to take this strange risk, then he could only hope that other places outside of Vietnam could still find the elixir, or else foundation building would be completely hopeless, and he would have to become a pile of white bones after more than a hundred years. However, if you think about it carefully, you will realize that the matter of going outside the country to look for spiritual pills is even more remote, and there is no hope at all.
But if he really participated in the “Blood Forbidden Trial”, the death rate of more than three-quarters of the population would be too high! The likelihood of him hanging up is incredibly high! This really puts Han Li in a dilemma!
