Chapter 192: Black Soil Secrets
Chapter 192: Black Soil Secrets
When resources are limited and there are more people, many conflicts of interest are naturally formed, and conflicts that erupt due to elixirs also occur from time to time, frequent and bloody.
There are also some bullying people who are purged, and some murderous and treasure grabbing actions, so that the people who are buried here are even more.
And what Sun Cheng said was far more than that, he also revealed some secrets to Wang Baoshan.
It is said that in the territory of the southern country, there are many, large and small sects of cultivation.
Among them, there are four sects that are the most powerful and have deep roots. They are: Haoyue Pavilion, Cremation Valley and Huangfu Gate, as well as Sun Cheng's Beast Taming Park.
It is said that two hundred years ago, there was a disciple of the Hazy Moon Pavilion who tried his best to refine a magic weapon called "Yuehua Spirit Bead".
This thing can neither attack the enemy nor defend against it, and its only function is that it can emit strange light, restrain all kinds of mist and poisonous miasma, and illuminate the rare treasures in the deep darkness.
It seems that the real use of this magic weapon is a sharp weapon specially prepared by this person for going out to explore the hidden treasure hunt.
Sure enough, the disciple of Haoyue Pavilion, who had obtained this magic weapon, inadvertently came to this wild rainforest in the process of going out to hunt for treasures, and also broke into the depths of the Black Earth Valley.
What he experienced inside, outsiders have no way of knowing, but his trip to the Black Earth Valley has made him return with a full load and a lot of harvest.
This first son, with this harvest, also relied on this harvest to refine a large number of pills, and then through his concentrated cultivation, he refined the medicinal spirit power of those pills, so that his cultivation was soaring and leaping thousands of miles.
As a result, he, an ordinary disciple, suddenly became a great increase in cultivation, and it spread far and wide in the sect to which he belonged.
As a result, it aroused the curiosity of some important people in the Hazy Moon Pavilion at that time.
For the sake of the development of the sect, they simply took the Black Earth Valley for themselves, and used that disciple to let him continue to go to find the elixir, and then refine it into an elixir after returning, and distribute it to the low-level disciples in the sect.
This move is not trivial, but because of this incident, the strength of Haoyue Pavilion has jumped up, and since then it has become one of the top cultivation sects in the south of the country.
But as the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and paper can't hold fire!
The disciples of the Hazy Moon Pavilion, using the magic weapon, in the Black Earth Valley, the news that they had obtained the elixir of heaven and earth still reached the ears of the people of other sects.
Soon after, the remaining three factions who wanted a piece of the pie came to the door.
Haoyue Pavilion, who didn't want to offend the anger of the public, but was unwilling to hand over the spirit beads, finally sacrificed the spirit beads after some bargaining and bargaining with the other three factions, and it became a common thing for the four major factions.
Then this treasure will be held by the four major sects in turn, and after each treasure trip, the sect that was originally in charge of the spirit bead will hand over this treasure and be taken over by another sect to keep it.
However, no matter which sect holds the spirit bead, once it arrives in the Black Earth Valley, the disciples of its sect must use this treasure within a predetermined time under the supervision of the disciples of other sects, and must not deliberately preempt or delay the opportunity to dispel the fog.
In this way, all the disciples who rushed to the central area in time could enter the basin mountain range to collect elixir at the same time, which seemed extremely fair.
With the achievement of such conditions, it seemed that the Hazy Moon Pavilion had suffered a big loss, and had to dispel the move of monopolizing the elixir of the Black Earth Valley, which actually allowed it to avoid a catastrophe of annihilation, thus leaving a chance to gradually become stronger.
By now, the Hazy Moon Pavilion has dominated the four major factions, and its strength can be called unfathomable, and if the other three factions don't join forces, they won't be able to compete with it at all!
Therefore, in order to balance and restrain the forces of all parties, the high-level leaders of the Haoyue Pavilion, in desperation, had no choice but to make concessions and promised to occupy the elixir resources in the Black Earth Valley with the remaining three factions.
However, for the sake of long-term planning, and being able to make reasonable use of limited resources, the Hazy Moon Pavilion and the other three factions finally reached one agreement after another.
That is to say, every ten years, a trial of the four factions is held, and the location is in this black soil valley.
The participants are mainly low-level disciples, and the purpose is not only to explore the hidden treasure hunt, but also to train the disciples in each sect, so that they can better apply what they have learned and hone their practice.
However, although this is a good starting point, it is extremely difficult to actually implement it.
First of all, this Black Earth Valley is originally a wild land without an owner, and any cultivator, or demon beast, if they have the strength, can come to find the elixir.
For this reason, their four major sects have also joined hands to arrange for many high-level cultivators to be stationed here all year round to manage daily affairs.
In normal times, in addition to allowing some demon beasts to enter this place, they strictly forbade idle people and others, and sneaked in without knowing whether they were alive or dead.
It is only after the ten-year period has passed that they will open the door to other cultivators and allow some other practitioners to enter and search for treasures together.
In this way, the beautiful name of sharing cultivation resources is actually to provide an opportunity for the disciples of the four major sects to kill.
After all, in the process of treasure hunting, accidents happen from time to time, and if you don't have a little strength, you won't be eligible to enjoy the cultivation resources......
And these secret things, Sun Cheng of the Zoo told the truth, and said that Wang Baoshan listened to it, perhaps because of his ulterior thoughts.
After hearing this, Wang Baoshan's heart was up and down, and now, he finally understood his previous doubts.
The reason why he is not anxious and can chat with the ugly man in front of him without panic and duplicity is also due to this consideration.
Because, he is an exception, he accidentally stumbled into the Black Earth Valley and entered the Black Earth Valley without knowing it, which was not his intention at all, but was entrusted by others.
But what is happening now is much beyond his imagination.
Those so-called Xiuzhen sects, although he had heard of them before, but the real super sect, he had heard of it for the first time.
He was originally a rookie who had just come into contact with cultivation, but in order to break through the barriers in the exercises, he came to this wild place by chance.
Who knows, this place is an eventful place of melee, except for the southern country and the Cangzhou country, where the war is staged all the year round, and there are even people from the Xiuzhen sect, who have been active here, and even divided this place as a private territory......
That Sun Cheng also told him that the disciples of the four major sects had already made an appointment to dispel the fog before entering, which would be tomorrow morning.
He also said that according to the disciples who had been lucky enough to return in the past, the area in this black soil valley was very large, almost occupying a wide area of about 100 li, and it was surrounded by strange places with lofty mountains and mountains.
And from the area in front of the Black Soil Valley to the deep place inside, the entire area in the valley can be divided into three outer layers, just like the skin, flesh and core of an ordinary fruit, the layers are distinct, very peculiar!
The place where Wang Baoshan is now is so beautiful and picturesque, in fact, it is only the outermost layer.
According to Sun Cheng's information, the area from here to the next floor is not large, and it should only be more than a mile wide.
In this range, the flowers and trees that grow, although they are rare and rare, are rare in the world. However, there are very few that can be used as elixirs and have practical effects on practitioners, and most of them can only be used for viewing and playing.
Many people in the four major factions speculate that this area should only be a relatively marginal area, and if you want to find something that is a little useful, it is better to go deep into other areas, which is more worry-free!
For cultivators, the high-grade elixir that is really useful is still in the second layer of the Black Earth Valley, that is, behind the mountain where Wang Baoshan is now located, a vast land of mist and poisonous barriers.
And most of the disciples of the various factions who entered this place came for this layer, and many of them had the main medicinal materials for refining pills, which was naturally the biggest target for everyone to compete for.
Speaking of this second-layer area, it really made Wang Baoshan, who had just seen the relevant information, stunned for a long time.
Because this second layer is completely a huge basin mountain range, and all the years inside it are tightly sealed by a mist that cannot be seen.
In this mountainous area, there are not only caves, dense valleys, cliffs and other natural spiritual places, but also man-made buildings such as stone houses and stone halls, and all kinds of heaven and earth elixirs are grown in these places.
The information exchanged between Sun Cheng and Wang Baoshan is mainly the approximate distribution map inside, because no one can guarantee that after they enter it, the existing information can still contain the area they want to go to.
So of course, the more such distribution maps, the better, so that it is easier to find them according to the map!
This is also the reason why Sun Cheng exchanged information with Wang Baoshan, as for whether the information given to him by Wang Baoshan is of practical use to him, it is unknown.
However, the fog in the area of the second layer was too big and too dense, and in normal times, after entering the cultivator, they would not be able to walk a few steps at all, and they would be completely lost in the fog.
They can only slowly grope their way forward with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and as for whether they can go out again, it depends on their own luck.
But what made it even more a headache was that in that basin mountain range, there were still countless demon beasts, from low-level demon beasts that had not yet opened their spiritual intelligence, to high-level demon beasts that had opened spiritual intelligence, there was everything.
Their number and variety are so numerous and complex that they encompass almost all the categories that practitioners of the four major schools have heard of or have not heard of.
The degree of danger in it can be seen, and it is not a place where ordinary cultivators can easily go deep.
Sun Cheng is also a disciple of the Animal Taming Park, who is famous for domesticating spirit beasts, and he actually knows a lot about some situations in the second layer area deep in the Black Earth Valley, which are different from the outside world.
Among them, he also gave a detailed explanation of the strength of those demon beasts, saying that among the demon beasts inside, the strength is low, and the immortal cultivators of the Spirit Gathering Realm can deal with seven or eight by one person, and there is no problem.
But if they encounter high-level demon beasts, even the elite disciples of the four major sects will only have to flee in the wilderness.
