Fear of Death Is Only Human

Chen Wang listened for a while and learned about the current situation.

This time, the Red Cloud Sect will also look for some rogue cultivators in the Market, but they must be cultivators in the Late-Stage Qi Refining.

Those with weak cultivation levels would only be sending themselves to their deaths and would be of no use.

Chen Wang noticed that several people in the Market were also planning to go in and were already communicating with each other.

"People die for wealth, birds die for food. The Purple Forest Secret Realm has so many spirit medicine; it is indeed a treasure land," Chen Wang thought to himself.

Qin Yong saw Chen Wang and walked over to him, saying, "Xiao Chen, are you interested in taking a gamble? I heard that if you are selected by the Red Cloud Sect, you will receive twenty Spirit Stone, and if you bring out spirit medicine, you will receive over a hundred Spirit Stone."

"They will also provide some Law Artifact, talismans, and pills. The Red Cloud Sect has paid a high price this time."

Chen Wang is now extremely wealthy.

But originally, he didn't have a stable job and lived a hard life. He only had one Spirit Stone, which he might have been able to gamble on in the past. Moreover, Chen Wang had always been quite lucky, even managing to snatch something like the Fire Apricot.

However, Chen Wang showed absolutely no interest in this matter this time.

He laughed and said, "With my skills, no one would choose me anyway."

Unless ordinary cultivators release their auras in a fight, it is difficult to tell the strength of each other's cultivation level at a glance.

Chen Wang's character has always been portrayed as someone who has just entered the Qi Refining Stage 4 and has extremely poor aptitude.

Qin Yong didn't really want him to go; he was just saying it casually.

He paused for a moment and then said, "Actually, I'm a little tempted."

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow. "Brother Qin, you want to go?"

Qin Yong glanced around and said with a smile, "Fortune favors the bold. Everyone wants to take a gamble. If you're lucky enough to be chosen and bring back the herbs that can be used to refine Foundation Establishment Pill, that's a huge income!"

"You might even become a disciple of the Red Cloud Sect because of this. Whether you have the Red Cloud Sect protecting you or not makes a huge difference here."

Chen Wang nodded slightly.

This should be the mindset of most independent cultivators at the lower levels.

Now he's just a small-time cultivator.

Without the convenience of traveling between the two worlds, he would be so poor he'd be urinating blood.

Working like an ox or a horse every day, you don't earn much money and can't save any. If you have a chance to make a fortune, you'd probably take the plunge.

But Qin Yong suddenly sighed, "But I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, I'm really afraid of dying."

Chen Wang smiled and said, "What's so funny about being afraid of death? Who isn't afraid of death?"

Qin Yong was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Really?"

Chen Wang nodded. "Being afraid of death is human nature, you know."

Qin Yong sighed, "These past two days I've been thinking about taking a gamble, but you know the situation lately. The Red Cloud Sect, with its immense strength, is still recruiting outsiders; they're just looking for cannon fodder."

In fact, when huge profits are presented to them, many people are not blind to them, but rather choose to take a gamble for that sliver of possibility.

Chen Wang nodded. "With so many forces gathering recently, there will probably be a great battle after the Purple Forest Secret Realm opens!"

Qin Yong said, "That's right. I originally thought it would be a bit cowardly to give up this opportunity and not even try to compete for it."

"If we lowly, independent cultivators don't fight, how will we have a chance?"

"But after talking to you, I think it's okay to be a little cowardly, since I'm not the only one who's a coward."

Chen Wang: "..."

Do you want to hear what you have to say?

However, the path to immortality is long and arduous. Immortals possess greater strength than ordinary people, and their lifespans are not much different before they reach the Foundation Establishment.

This conversation with Qin Yong further strengthened Chen Wang's belief in pursuing great power.

Despite lacking talent for cultivation, he was recruited into a cultivation sect and given intensive training.

He wasn't born into the Aristocratic Clan of cultivators and didn't enjoy excellent Cultivation Resources from birth.

Originally, I was destined to live a mediocre life.

But now he possesses Top Grade Magic Tool, two Foundation Establishment Pill, and his Spirit Root has also improved.

Although it wasn't earth-shattering, it at least caught up with the pace of those cultivation geniuses and scions of the Aristocratic Clan.

"The most important thing in cultivating immortality is to survive; only by surviving can one have a chance."

Chen Wang sighed.

Qin Yong also deeply agreed.

Of course, some people think like those two, while others are prepared to risk their lives and take a gamble.

Otherwise, it would be truly unsatisfying to never reach a high level of cultivation in one's entire life.

The Cultivation World has been in turmoil lately.

However, Chen Wang did not intend to get involved in this matter and devoted himself to cultivation every day.

Before the Purple Forest Secret Realm truly opened, Chen Wang's Law Power grew increasingly profound, constantly approaching the peak of the Late-Stage Qi Refining.

"Only when you become Foundation Establishment expert can you truly escape this life of hardship."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

late at night,

The moonlight was cool and clear, carrying a hint of chill.

Chen Wang's residence consists of wooden houses surrounded by mountains with many bamboo forests. The sound of the forest roaring at night creates a rather poetic atmosphere.

A young woman with disheveled hair emerged from the mountains.

You can vaguely see that the woman has delicate features.

She was barefoot, her toes glistening and translucent, and her figure was extremely slender, like a mountain deer that had wandered into town. Her eyes held a hint of mist, making her look pitiful.

The young woman approached slowly without making a sound. The moonlight shone on her, making her appear even more melancholic.

Wu Dongcai a rogue cultivator. The Red Cloud Sect had a Phosphorus Mine in the mountains, and Wu Dongcai was mining there.

The mine was deep and complex, and he worked hard every day, risking his life.

A stone statue was unearthed some time ago. Its shape is exaggerated. Although it has a human face, it is square.

The day after the stone statue was unearthed, the mining rogue was found hanged in his room.

This is extremely strange!

While dealing with ghosts and monsters is a specialty of cultivators, the ghosts and evil spirits that can kill cultivators are truly terrifying! After some investigation, nothing unusual was found.

That man was a gambler, and it seems he lost so much that he lost all his savings and then hanged himself.

Wu Dongcai was not addicted to gambling; he simply chatted with the beautiful female cultivators in the Market after a hard day's work.

He didn't go out tonight and went to bed early.

The situation at the Red Cloud Sect has been tense and chaotic lately, and he hasn't been to the Market for many days.

In the hazy light, Wu Dongcai seemed to see a barefoot young woman whose feet were exquisitely beautiful, captivating at first glance.

In a daze, he looked up and saw a young woman whose beautiful features were still evident despite her disheveled hair.

"A fleeting dream leaves no trace."

Wu Dongcai was unaware that a woman had suddenly appeared in his room. He wasn't alarmed, simply treating it as a dream. He couldn't help but slowly sit up and reach out to touch the woman...
