Section 385 This trip is not easy

Shen Tong sat on the stone couch frowning slightly, and a milky white jade slip appeared quietly in his palm, it can be seen from his demeanor and posture that he is obviously separating a wisp of divine sense at this time to investigate the information in the jade slip, but what is recorded in it does not seem to be an easy thing, but it makes Shen Tong rarely show such a solemn look. At this time, it was already the third day after Dabi, and since yesterday, Elder Su from Tianshu Peak came to talk to him about the Xuanming Cave, all his energy was focused on the Xuanming Cave that he was about to enter, and the question in his mind was naturally the secret realm that he was about to enter in a few days.

At the beginning, the reason why Shen Tong wanted to participate in the big competition and wanted to enter the Xuanming Cave was purely because he heard what Senior Brother Shi Chang said, the task reward there was the "Zhuji Dan" that other tasks did not have, and he really had an urgent desire and eagerness for the improvement of his strength, and he was very interested in any way that could quickly improve his cultivation, so he naturally tried his best to participate in it, and wanted to be able to obtain the coveted "Zhuji Dan". However, at this moment, using his divine sense to probe the information on the jade slip, and thinking back to the things that Elder Su had told him in detail, Shen Tong's previous excitement because of Dabi's victory also turned cold in an instant, and even he was a little confused at the moment, why did these people in the sect break their heads to compete for such a task of sending them to death.

Of course, the statement of sending him to death is really a bit too pessimistic, but after thinking about it for a while, Shen Tong reluctantly found that even with his good strength, plus a helper like the old ghost who has reached the foundation building stage, he really doesn't have much certainty if he wants to come out of the Xuanming Cave alive. Because that secret realm is really full of risks and crises, if you are not careful, you will fall into the ancient prohibition, either by the powerful lethality of those ancient formation prohibitions to ruthlessly kill, or trapped in it can only wait for death, even if it has been I don't know how many thousands of years, but the unpredictable methods of the monks in the transformation period, trying to kill them, these monks who are only in the qi cultivation period, are really no different from crushing a few ants. The only thing that can be rejoiced in is that this secret realm has been explored countless times by the monks of the three sects, and those ancestors who entered it before them have used their flesh and blood and lives to roughly explore a few safe paths for them.

Nowadays, there is a map marked with dense various markings in the jade slip, and the disciples who have entered it and come out alive in the past generations will continue to record and share the various situations they have seen, so as to provide some convenience for their later people. Of course, if they were lucky enough to make it out alive, they would naturally need to report in detail the routes of their activities and the risks they encountered, so as to add some additions to the accuracy of the map. Just looking at the appearance of the map in the jade slip, Shen Tong was really speechless. Basically, he could see four roads leading to the center, each of which was marked with circles of different colors on both sides, and he already knew that those places with blue circles were relatively less dangerous, probably the concentration of some spirit beasts, or the prohibition that had almost exhausted its power. Of course, this doesn't mean that there is enough security there, maybe the remaining prohibition will have some amazing means in the end, or those prohibition will absorb the spiritual power in the secret realm to make up for their own losses, maybe something terrible will happen. Even those spirit beasts, it is possible that after ten years, the number has increased several times, and the natural power is far from being comparable to before.

As for the places marked by the red circles, for them, it is equivalent to the existence of a forbidden land, basically every place marked with a red circle, there are three sects of monks who have fallen there, needless to say, the danger is great, and the number of places marked by the red circle is almost everywhere, dense and frightening, so it can be imagined that over the years, the number of disciples of the three factions who have fallen in them is amazing. This is almost a map marked in exchange for human life, a mysterious realm explored with the lives of wave after wave of disciples. Not to mention, in addition to the dangers that existed in these original secret realms, it was more likely that they would be attacked and killed by the disciples of the other two sects at any time, so many risks added together, it was no wonder that every time the disciples who entered the Xuanying Cave could come out alive, there were often not even half of them.

This kind of casualty situation of more than half of them is obviously incomparable to other tasks, but even so, the disciples of the three major factions who want to go to the Xuanying Cave are still scrambling, and none of them flinch, so it is also possible to imagine how attractive the reward of "Zhuji Dan" is to the disciples in the Qi cultivation period.

In fact, this situation is also very understandable, the disciples in the Qi training period can successfully build the foundation without the assistance of the Foundation Building Dan, it can be said that there are very few people, in this way, if you don't take the risk to try, there is naturally no difference between sitting and waiting to die, rather than stumbling in the Qi training period, it is better to take a risk, at least in this way, there is still a chance, you must know that the elders in the foundation building period in the door are basically through such a way to successfully cross the threshold, which can be regarded as an example and example for all the disciples, and naturally let them overcome the fear of death and want to participate in it in a scrambling way。

It was only under the detailed explanation of that Elder Su that Shen Tong knew that the reward task of this Zhuji Dan was really not easy to achieve! According to the rules of the sect, the disciples who entered the secret realm not only needed to collect fifty spiritual materials that were more than a thousand years old, but also needed to collect fifty spirit beast demon pills, of course, the same number of demon pills could be exchanged with spiritual materials, which meant that the number to be collected would need hundreds. This situation really made Shen Tong smile helplessly, the total time he could stay in it was only a month, and it was not an easy matter to collect so many spiritual materials and demon pills under the pressure of so many death risks. Especially when looking at the large area marked as "unknown" on the map, Shen Tongcai deeply realized that this trip was not easy, so many unknown places, who knows how many risks are hidden in them, and how many traps will be waiting for them? And the regulations of the sect on this collection task obviously put an end to the kind of disciples who go to it to hide and stay still in order to save their lives, and avoid the situation of not being able to work.

In order to motivate disciples to collect spiritual materials more attentively and increase their enthusiasm for exploring in the secret realm, the sect also has an additional reward system, in addition to the number of collections stipulated by the sect, the excess part can be exchanged for exercises and secrets and pills, and even items such as spiritual weapon formations, all of which can be exchanged for spiritual materials and demon pills collected in it, and even if the number is sufficient, you can also exchange the number of hundreds of spiritual materials for another Zhuji Dan, which looks really tempting. It can be imagined that if the surplus Tsukidan was taken out for sale or exchanged for other items, it would be such an amazing scene and situation, I am afraid that it would be easy to sell it for a terrifying sky-high price.

It's just that although the imagination is beautiful, but the reality is really difficult, what Shen Tong is thinking about at this time is how to survive there, and then successfully complete the collection task required by the sect, if he can come out alive this time and exchange for a Zhuji Dan, it is already a very satisfying thing for Shen Tong, as for other things and other ideas, he is really not the kind of person who is ambitious, but he has no heart to fantasize about these things.

"Thousand thread grass, the grass blades are large and the inner line is streaked, every year of growth, there is an extra silk thread in the leaf, and it matures for a thousand years, it is called thousand thread grass. ”

"Zhiyang flower, born to the sun, flowers like lanterns, like the sun and cold, generally grow on the top of the mountain, more than 1,000 years of Zhiyang flowers, the heart of the flower contains a fruit, this fruit is the best spiritual material for refining fire attribute pills. ”

......

In the blink of an eye, Shen Tong was immersed in the subsequent detailed explanation, and carefully checked and recorded it to ensure that after entering the secret realm, he could recognize those spiritual materials at a glance without misunderstanding, resulting in a delay in the most important time.
