Chapter Thirty-Seven: The Nine Forbidden Places
According to the strong request of the ancient spirit, Nanikawa Edgeworth went to the public pavilion, looking at everything here, it was still the same as before, it was still so bustling and noisy, and Nanikawa's expression was a little strange.
This is the third time to come to the public pavilion, Langchuan is familiar with the way around, asked dozens of shopkeepers of all sizes, all said that there is no stock, is about to go back to the house Langchuan suddenly found a small shop fifty meters away in front of the eyes, the only eye-catching thing is the door plaque hanging on the small door, and the beautiful piano sound like a heavenly sound.
Lang Chuan followed the beautiful sound of the piano, and came to this store at once, looking at the five big characters of "the first store in the world", he had some doubts in his heart, such a small shop, how dare to claim to be the first in the world, is there any mystery? Then he knocked on the hidden door with some hesitation.
"Come in. At this moment, a beautiful woman's voice came slowly from the small room, accompanied by the sound of the piano.
Pushing open the hidden door, Lang Chuan suddenly saw a woman in a plain purple dress sitting cross-legged on the futon in the house playing the guqin, her skin was better than snow, her eyes were like a pool of clear water, she was not shocked, and she had an elegant and refined temperament, which made people can't help but be photographed and dare not blaspheme.
The woman smiled and said, "This fellow Daoist, welcome to our store, if you have any needs, please feel free to say that this store has everything." ”
"Shopkeeper, may I ask, is there soul nourishing wood for sale here?" Looking at such a dusty woman, Lang Chuan hurriedly retracted his mind and got straight to the point.
The woman looked at Lang Chuan, who quickly recovered his mind, and was a little surprised, Suanna's technique couldn't have too much effect on it, and then replied quietly: "This fellow Daoist, I'm very sorry, someone just bought this thing in the store some time ago, I don't know if the little brother needs this thing urgently?"
"Yes. Lang Chuan pretended to look at the strings, avoiding the woman's gaze, and said with a little doubt, "Could it be that the shopkeeper has a way to collect soul nourishing wood in a short period of time?"
"It's not enough to collect it in a short time, but I have a map of the Soul Nourishing Wood. The woman looked at Nan Chuan, who was a little anxious and uneasy, and slowly walked in front of him, staring at Nan Chuan tightly with a pair of beautiful eyes and said.
Smelling the fragrance emanating from this woman's body, Lang Chuan felt a little dizzy, snorted and pinched his thighs and said, "I don't know how many spirit stones this map costs?"
"This map is given to you for free!" said the woman with a jade hand that suddenly climbed up to Lang Chuan's shoulder.
Lang Chuan bit his tongue, and his mind suddenly cleared up, but when he heard that the other party actually gave him a map for free, his heart was full of doubts and surprise, and then he couldn't help but glance at the woman.
Looking at the woman who suddenly became charming, Lang Chuan had an urge to hug her and kiss Fang Ze, but the smell of blood from his mouth once again made him sobriety.
"Why did you send me?" replied Lang Chuan with a cold face.
Seeing that the lamb in her hand broke free from her embrace again, the woman was a little surprised and puzzled, and said: "The soul nourishing wood has been scarce in the South China Sea outside the sky for a long time, and ordinary places have disappeared at all. The only places where they can still be found now are the so-called Nine Forbidden Lands. ”
Hearing the woman's words, Lang Chuan's heart moved, and he threw out several middle-grade spirit stones one after another, and hurriedly asked.
The reason why the Nine Secluded Lands are called forbidden places is because this place is extremely remote and the environment is harsh, and these places are of course extremely dangerous. Where there are a lot of demon lair, you have to kill all the way to get through, and there are even some ancient formations that must be broken with great effort before you can hope to enter them.
I don't know how many years have passed in this place, but later generations have accidentally discovered that this forbidden law will have a five-day weakening period every ten years, during which if several monks of the Yudan period cast a spell together and forcibly broke it, a passage could be temporarily opened and a certain number of people could enter.
This discovery caused a sensation in the entire Outer South China Sea Immortal Cultivation Realm at that time, so every ten years, the five major forces of the Outer South China Sea would send a group of disciples below the foundation building period into the forbidden land to collect a large number of elixirs, of course, the main medicine of the Outer Foundation Pill was the most important of them, and the soul nourishing wood needed by Langchuan was also among them.
At the beginning, the disciples of various clans and clans were able to act without committing any crimes, which was a great difference for the selected disciples. However, with the continuous collection and looting over the years, after the elixir treasures in the Nine Secluded Forbidden Lands became scarcer and scarcer, the five major forces would quarrel with each other over some rare treasures and make big moves. To this day, there are often disciples who lose their lives in battles.
As the rare treasures became more and more rare, in the past hundred years, the fighting became more and more miserable, and the number of disciples who could come out alive from the Nine Secluded Forbidden Lands was far less than one-third of the original, so that the elites of the low-level disciples of various sects and sects had lost a lot! But also because of this reason, some of the disciples who were cowering began to avoid it, and there was even an embarrassing scene that no one was willing to go.
In order to cover up such an embarrassing situation and motivate the disciples to move forward bravely, the disciples of all sects and clans who successfully return and complete the collection task in the Nine Secluded Forbidden Lands will be qualified as disciples of the Inner Sect or true disciples, as well as rewards such as spirit stones, magic weapons, and exercises, and even more can obtain a Zhuji Dan, which is full of endless temptations for the disciples who have always stayed in the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Period.
However, the bloody and painful lesson of history is the determination of a large group of people to try the night before.
Because when the heavy reward was not used to stimulate, only one-third of the people who could survive the battle for the Nine Secluded Forbidden Lands were not enough, but after the heavy reward, even a quarter of them could get out of the Nine Secluded Forbidden Land, and among the living disciples, the people who could bring out the elixir were even more rare, and most of them had nothing to gain except for a serious injury, let alone in exchange for Tsukidan.
However, when Lang Chuan listened to such a fierce competition in the forbidden land trial, he was also worried and happy, worried that he had offended the people of the Xiao clan and sent himself to the Nine Secluded Forbidden Land, so wouldn't he have to explain there?
Unexpectedly, crossing this place of cultivating immortals is as intense as looking for a job in the previous life, collecting some medicinal materials to go to the Nine Forbidden Places, and also having to fight with other sect disciples, and finally win before they can get out, and the proportion of survivors is even more amazing, only less than a quarter of the people can get out.
