In the north of Jianzhou, on a barren mountain on the border between Yue Kingdom and Yuanwu Kingdom, there are dozens of tall and short men in yellow shirts standing. Their clothes are fluttering in the wind, and their ages are different. The older ones have gray hair,
The wrinkles on his face indicate that he has reached the age of destiny, his skin is tender and tender, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his childishness has not yet faded away, but they are all silent and standing in an orderly manner.
The one at the front is an old man who is calm and self-respecting. He has his hands behind his back, looking at the sky leisurely and motionless, and is lost in thought. Behind him are four men and one woman, several people with solemn expressions, among which
One person, Uncle Wang, who introduced Han Li to the academy, also had a solemn look on his face at this moment.
Behind the five people, there were two rows of yellow-shirted disciples standing neatly. These people had different expressions. Some looked nervous and embarrassed, some were indifferent and looked around, and some smiled silently and showed no emotion.
And at the corner of the last row, there was a dark-faced, ordinary-looking young man with his eyes lowered, always looking at his toes, not daring to squint, and seemed very shy.
But no one knew that this guy who looked like a yellow-haired boy was complaining and full of resentment in his heart.
This young man is none other than Han Li, and this group of people in yellow robes are the disciples of the Yellow Maple Valley who participated in the "Blood Trial."
In the end, Han Li joined this journey to die, and after possessing two Foundation Establishment Pills, this was a ridiculous and helpless thing.
More than a month ago, Han Li was shocked when he learned from Wu Feng how to take the Foundation Establishment Pill.
It turns out that after taking the foundation-building pill, the person who wants to build the foundation must stay in seclusion for three months to use up the potency of the pill before leaving the retreat. Otherwise, the potency of the pill will be lost and its efficacy will be greatly reduced. Therefore, whether the foundation-building pill can be successful, at least
It will take several months to find out.
But it would be really bad for Han Li to have to wait for such a long time.
According to his original idea of getting these two foundation-building pills, he would first take these two pills to see if he could succeed in establishing the foundation, and then decide whether to participate in the trial. If he could succeed in establishing the foundation by luck, the forbidden area would be so dangerous.
He would definitely not go to such a place. After all, the 1/4 chance of survival was too scary.
If it doesn't work after taking it, the trip to the forbidden area is still necessary. If one or two foundation-building pills don't work, then he will refine three or four pills, or even more. He believes that no matter how poor his qualifications are, he will take it.
After enough foundation-building pills, you can still enter the foundation-building stage.
However, the restriction of three months of solitary confinement after taking the medicine disrupted Han Li's plan, leaving him facing an embarrassing situation where he couldn't have his cake and eat it too.
Now, either take the Foundation Establishment Pill and give up the trip to the forbidden area completely; or put the Foundation Establishment Pill away temporarily and wait until the bloody trial is over before taking it again. There will no longer be a good thing to do both.
After thinking about it for nearly half a month, Han Li felt that with his poor qualifications, even if he took two foundation-building pills in a row, the hope of success in foundation-building was still very slim, and he must not give up on the bloody trial.
In fact, it is not that Han Li has never thought about it. If he comes to participate in the Blood Trial in the next five years, even if he has not completed the foundation building, he will definitely have practiced Changchun Kung to the top level. In this way, his ability to protect himself will be greatly improved.
many.
But not long after Han Li's idea came up, the upper management of Huang Maple Valley announced a major event that shocked the entire Yue Kingdom's immortal world, making his idea disappear.
The content is: the forbidden area of the Blood Trial will be temporarily closed for 60 years after five years. During this period, the seven major sects will jointly send people to supervise it, and no one is allowed to go in to collect herbs.
This kind of temporary closure of forbidden areas is not a rare thing. Almost every three to four hundred years, the seven major sects will do this.
Because the forbidden area is frequently opened, a large amount of spiritual energy will be lost within it, and the production and growth of the elixir will be slowed down. This temporary closure will re-change the density of the spiritual energy and return it to normal levels.
.
However, even though the seven major sects have taken this measure, the elixirs in the forbidden areas are still becoming scarcer year by year and are becoming more and more difficult to find. Especially the finished elixirs that meet the requirements for alchemy are even rarer.
According to the inference of some knowledgeable people from the Seven Immortals Sect, if you want to truly restore the normal amount of elixirs in the forbidden area, you must delay the sealing for a full thousand years. Otherwise, this temporary closure will only
It just delays the depletion time of some forbidden elixirs. After all, the origin and growth of elixirs do not happen in a day or two.
Although this theory is combined with the actual situation in the forbidden area, no one can deny its correctness, but the people in power of the seven major sects still cannot make this decision.
The number of Foundation Establishment Pills is closely related to the rise and fall of their seven major sects.
If there is a shortage of these elixirs within fifty or sixty years, the seven major sects will only lose some skin, without damaging their bones and muscles. But if there are really hundreds or even thousands of years without foundation-building elixirs, then let alone the seven major sects.
, I am afraid that the entire Yue Kingdom’s immortal world is facing life and death.
After all, a place that can no longer allow cultivators to build foundations, can it still be called a world of cultivators? I am afraid that all the cultivating families and casual cultivators will leave Yue Kingdom and seek survival in other places. The seven major sects arrived
There will be no exception.
Therefore, even though they know that frequently opening forbidden areas is a foolish thing to do, the people of the Seven Sects still have to bite the bullet and do it.
They only hope that they can find other alternative places to produce elixirs before the forbidden elixirs are truly extinct.
This has also caused the old monsters in the major sects in the Dan-formation stage and even the Nascent Soul stage to start going out frequently in the past few hundred years, in order to find the origin of other elixirs, or to give their sect another source of elixirs.
Find other ways out, and we must not let our orthodoxy decline.
Han Li naturally couldn't know the above things so clearly. But as soon as the news came out, Han Li would not dare to think about the bloody trial five years later.
Even the most obtuse person will understand that when the forbidden land opens in five years, it will definitely be extremely bloody. All the elite disciples from all the sects will come out in order to make a big fortune in the elixir before sealing it off.
For Han Li to participate in such a trial, isn't that asking for death?
Although after the announcement of this news, this trip to the forbidden area will also be twice as difficult and the fighting will be more brutal, but no matter what, it will definitely be much stronger than the next one.
As for the stupid thing of participating in the Blood Trial fifty years later, Han Li never thought about it.
After passing the optimal age for foundation building, even if he reluctantly enters the foundation building stage in the future, he will definitely not be able to go far on the road to immortality. This is not the result that Han Li wants.
It was with this mentality that Han Li signed up to join the herb collection group in the forbidden area. The person in charge of signing up was actually Uncle Wang, which made Han Li very surprised and somewhat regretful.
Uncle Wang was even more shocked when he saw Han Li.
On the one hand, he was surprised that a newcomer like Han Li had come to participate in the Blood Trial; on the other hand, he was a little unbelievable at the rapid improvement of Han Li's cultivation. With Han Li's qualifications, he was able to master the technique in such a short period of time.
With such diligence, I went from the ninth level to the eleventh level in one go. This is amazing.
It would not be surprising to say that Han Li is a disciple with extraordinary talents, and it is not uncommon for someone to improve his skills faster than him. But Han Li's identity as a pseudo-spiritual root has been tested by him personally, so how can he still practice it?
so quickly?
For those with false spiritual roots, Han Li's ninth-level skills were already surprisingly high when he first entered.
Usually, it is the elders who have instilled magic power, or often taken some elixirs, plus diligent practice, to achieve this achievement. But now Han Li, who has eleven levels of skills, is standing in front of him alive.
He was so surprised!
Since Uncle Wang was doubtful, he pulled Han Li aside unceremoniously and tested his attributes again. The result was the same as the previous conclusion, and there was no suspected spiritual root mutation.
