Chapter 6 Heading Towards the Core of the Forbidden Area
Is it necessary to reach the Nascent Soul stage to open it?
Doesn't it look a lot like the Void Heaven Cauldron that Old Demon Han obtained in the Void Heaven Palace?
It goes without saying how much the Void Heaven Cauldron helped Han Li.
This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity; if missed, it's unlikely that you'll ever encounter a similar chance again in your life.
Nangong Wan even benefited from this place, which ultimately enabled her to successfully break through to the Nascent Soul stage and ascend to immortality.
"call……"
Qin Fang let out a long sigh.
"It's too far!"
"Even with the Zhuanzhuan platform, I wouldn't dare guarantee that I can advance to the Nascent Soul stage."
"Besides, if I remember correctly, the 'inheritance' here requires a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation level..."
"Breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage is still a long way off, let alone reaching the late Nascent Soul stage!"
Qin Fang whispered.
For a Qi Refining stage cultivator, the Nascent Soul stage is simply too far-fetched a goal.
Is Zhuanzhuan, a second-hand platform, strong?
Based on Qin Fang's own current assessment, it seems to be quite strong.
There are also some ingenious uses within it, which Qin Fang may not have discovered yet.
The function of recycling unused items allows Qin Fang to directly obtain spirit stones.
Don't underestimate this point...
Take Han Li as an example. Although he possesses a heaven-defying treasure like the Heavenly Bottle, he should theoretically have no shortage of spiritual herbs.
However, aside from using it himself, Han Li rarely sells it to others.
Ultimately, it all boils down to one thing: I dare not!
In the treacherous world of cultivation, such an act is akin to a child carrying a gold brick through a bustling marketplace.
Therefore, Han Li was very frugal in terms of spirit stones in the early stages, and he didn't have many spirit stones to use at all.
Even the pills he refined, though no longer of much use to him, Han Li still dared not sell casually, lest they attract unnecessary trouble.
But this problem doesn't exist for Qin Fang at all.
You can just use Zhuanzhuan to recycle; there's no need to worry about being noticed by others.
Although the price for recycling is definitely not as high as selling, it's safer!
Secondly, there's another reason why Qin Fang values the Zhuanzhuan platform so much.
That is...
Purchase function!
Qin Fang is currently only at the Qi Refining stage, meaning he hasn't even crossed the threshold of immortal cultivation.
At this moment, even if the spirit stones are used directly for refining, they will still have considerable uses.
However, as one's cultivation level increases, the role of spirit stones diminishes, and in the later stages, spirit stones become merely a number with little practical use.
Leaving aside distant examples, let's talk about the Nascent Soul cultivators in Tiannan who want to acquire resources to improve their cultivation.
There are simply two ways.
You either risk your life to enter various dangerous secret realms, or fight with others to directly plunder.
Alternatively, one could barter, exchanging one's own treasures with cultivators of the same level.
As for purchasing with spirit stones...
It's expensive but unavailable!
This wasn't a major problem for Qin Fang either.
As long as he has enough spirit stones, he doesn't care whether the other party is willing or not; he can directly use spirit stones to buy what he wants.
Therefore, no matter when, spirit stones are never useless to Qin Fang; the more the better.
"Although the traditions of this place are too distant for me."
"but……"
"We still need to go!"
Qin Fang pondered for a long time.
He still decided to move closer to the core of the forbidden area.
It's not that he's made up his mind to take away the opportunity that should have belonged to Nangong Wan.
But...
For the Foundation Establishment Elixir!
Since there's no way to get the Foundation Establishment Pill from Han Li for the time being, there's no guarantee that there won't be another chance in the future.
Qin Fang seems to have several choices, but in reality, he has no choice at all!
The original owner of this body had an ordinary background; otherwise, she wouldn't have been stumped by a single Foundation Establishment Pill.
If they were to leave the forbidden area in such a disgraceful manner, it would be far too difficult to obtain the Foundation Establishment Pill later.
There is naturally a considerable stock of Foundation Establishment Pills in Yellow Maple Valley.
But Qin Fang estimated that even getting close to one or two of that treasure trove was completely impossible.
Not to mention, using the Zhuanzhuan platform to scheme for a few Foundation Building Pills.
The simplest way is still to gather enough mature medicinal herbs in the Crimson Forbidden Land!
"I don't need to force myself."
"By taking advantage of the 'one-kilometer field of vision' feature, I can gradually approach the core area."
"If you feel the danger is too great, you can always give up decisively!"
Qin Fang knew very well that he was not Han Li.
Don't be fooled by Han Li's previous appearance of being quite wary of Qin Fang.
However, the actual gap in strength between the two is still enormous.
The weak one is Qin Fang himself!
He doesn't have a powerful weapon like a talisman!
They don't have a trump card like Tian Lei Zi!
The only somewhat unexpected magical artifact is the transparent silk thread in my hand now.
Besides that, there was only one high-grade magic artifact left.
Yes... a high-grade magic weapon! Qin Fang doesn't even have a single top-grade magic weapon.
Otherwise, the original owner wouldn't have been so thoroughly suppressed by the disciples of the Giant Sword Sect, and wouldn't have needed a sneak attack with transparent threads to secure victory.
However, man proposes, God disposes! The original owner did not expect that even on his deathbed, the disciple of the Giant Sword Sect could still wield the giant sword and end his life with a single strike, resulting in the two of them dying together.
"Walk!"
As if to instill confidence in himself, Qin Fang's tone suddenly rose, becoming firm and resolute.
With the aid of the Lightness Technique, Qin Fang quickly disappeared from the spot.
…………
Ever since Qin Fang made up his mind to try and venture into the core area of the forbidden zone.
The first wave of carnage began to erupt throughout the forbidden area.
The best of all schools and sects began to emerge! They launched a massive purge against the weaker ones in the vicinity.
This situation is more pronounced closer to the center of the area.
Of course... occasionally, some experts will unexpectedly run into each other.
These people either knew each other or had exchanged a few blows before retreating, demonstrating a high degree of teamwork.
Now is clearly not the time for them to fight each other.
This is a hunt targeting the weak!
For every weakling spared, one of the medicinal herbs in the central area may be picked by that person.
The quantity of elixirs is fixed. To prevent the spread of counterfeit products, any weakling who comes into their sights has only one option: to be killed.
Of course!
These relatively weak Qi Refining stage cultivators are still, after all, cultivators in the late Qi Refining stage.
Although he was no match for the top disciples of these various sects, he was well aware of the risks of venturing into the core area of the forbidden zone.
They had already learned the inside story before the Crimson Forbidden Land was opened.
Even in this situation, they still risked going in, so they must have been mentally prepared.
In the Bloodstained Forbidden Land, there is no right or wrong, good or evil!
It's all about who has the bigger fist, whoever is right.
Looking at the entire cultivation world, isn't this a 'miniature' version of the survival of the fittest in the cultivation world?
Generally speaking, the disciples from various factions who entered the Crimson Forbidden Land can be roughly divided into three types.
The first type is naturally cultivators at the tenth or eleventh level of the Qi Refining stage.
Their reasons for entering the forbidden area varied, some had unavoidable difficulties, while others harbored a sense of侥幸 (a gambler's mentality), believing that they were not so easily killed.
But the result was cruel! These people were the lowest rungs of the forbidden area, serving as the victims of slaughter.
The second type is Qin Fang, whose magical power is not too weak, but whose overall strength is far inferior to the top contenders of various sects, and also inferior to someone like Han Laomo who has powerful backup plans.
These types of people know they have no hope of obtaining the elixir and are unwilling to risk their lives to enter the core. They mostly stay on the periphery of the core and have a fairly high chance of survival.
As for the last category, they stand at the top of the food chain! Not only do they possess profound magical power, but they also have extremely powerful magical artifacts by their side.
They are the ones on whom the higher-ups of each sect place high hopes. Compared to these people, other fellow disciples are just cannon fodder!
The sole purpose of this third type of person is to kill disciples of other sects and seize as many spiritual herbs as possible.
...Several hours later.
Qin Fang appeared in a strange red maple forest.
