"Uh... yes."
Jiang Ping blinked. Although he didn't want to admit it, it was true that he didn't have any such pills on hand.
"... three people."
The group exchanged bewildered glances. They observed that Jiang Ping's aura was quite powerful, and they estimated that he had already transcended the third tribulation, yet he couldn't even produce ten Spirit Pills.
"You should have said so earlier. It's a small matter; I'll pay for it for you."
Qin Feng smiled, then waved his hand and took out ten Spirit Pills, handing them over.
Jiang Ping gladly accepted it, and felt that this trip might not be a regret, as he was able to see the Near-Dao Reincarnation.
Soon, the four paid the admission fee and were successfully admitted.
"There are quite a lot of people."
Jiang Ping stood on the lawn, looking at the groups of Martial Artist gathered by the small lake.
Although the ten Spirit Pills did deter some people, there were still far too many Martial Artist willing to pay to see their idol, with the number remaining above a thousand.
"Don't just stand there, Brother Fang, come over and have a drink."
Qin Feng greeted Jiang Ping, who had already taken a seat with delicious food and wine laid out in front of him.
Jiang Ping walked over and clinked glasses with the three of them.
At this point, Qin Feng also recounted the events of their last meeting.
He pointed to the pavilion in the middle of the lake and said:
"When the time comes, Zhong Shenxiu will appear in the middle of the lake. She will play a piece on the zither to test everyone's talent."
It is said that at the last gathering, some people had an epiphany in the music and broke through their barriers, while others grasped the mysteries of the music and gained a lot.
"I'd like to hear it."
Jiang Ping became interested. He was curious about a piece of music that could help him improve his cultivation. If it could help him, then it would be worth the price of admission.
Then, he and the three of them drank while waiting.
I'd like to propose a toast to Brother Qin.
Jiang Ping raised his glass to Qin Feng to thank him for his generosity earlier.
Everyone has awkward moments.
Qin Feng waved his hand, not taking it seriously.
"But Brother Qin, you've probably never seen someone as poor as me wandering around like this before."
Jiang Ping sighed and revealed his background, saying that he came from a small place with scarce resources and no good family background, so he had to rely on himself for everything.
"Yet Brother Fang, at the age of one hundred, still managed to reach the Third Heaven of the Divine Travel Realm, which is truly legendary, demonstrating that Brother Fang's talent is extraordinary."
Qin Feng exclaimed in admiration. He hadn't expected that such a young and powerful fellow cultivator would come from such humble beginnings and have achieved such formidable strength through sheer hard work.
"What good is talent? The key is background; you need a good family."
Jiang Ping sighed again, mentioning that he was currently worried about resources and Wumen for Divine Medicine.
"Divine Medicine are hard to find, mainly because they require specific age and are usually cultivated by individual factions; wild ones are extremely rare."
Tang Yu spoke up from the side.
This is not the Great Wilderness Era, but a magnificent world where gods stand tall and true saints shine in the sky. Basically, resources and territories have been divided up by various clans.
Generally speaking, if Spirit Wanderer seeking Divine Medicine wants to cultivate it themselves and wait patiently, or they can exchange it for other Divine Medicine or exchange it for some powerful cultivation techniques.
"Without the aid of Divine Medicine, not only is breaking through to a higher realm even more dangerous, but more importantly, it would be very difficult to awaken the Undying characteristic ahead of time."
Goddess Shenyou You Xue also added.
The value of the Divine Medicine is too high. It can not only help the spirit travel and break through the barrier, but more importantly, the medicinal properties it contains can solidify the foundation of the Dao. If one can refine the Heavenly Medicine and take the Five Elements Rare Medicine, the probability of the Primordial Spirit possessing the Undying characteristic will increase.
It can be said that even for those Close to the Dao Seed, in order to maximize their strength and develop the Undying characteristic before the Nine-Nine Tribulation, various Divine Medicine are indispensable.
"Yes, the allure of the Primordial Spirit's premature development of Undying characteristic is indeed immense. For those Close to the Dao Seed, it's proof of their talent, but for those who travel the world in divine realms, it also makes transcending the Nine-Nine Tribulation more likely."
Qin Feng also felt a bit emotional.
The Spirit Wander Realm is difficult to cross, with each pass challenging.
If one can acquire the Undying characteristic in advance, one can basically survive the Nine-Nine Tribulation, with very few instances of failure.
Therefore, it's not just those Close to the Dao Seed who are pursuing it; these Legendary Spirit Wander also yearn to see the possibility of the Nine Heavens.
"Is there no hope for someone like me from a humble background who dreams of wandering the world?"
Jiang Ping looked disappointed.
"It's not hopeless. Wild Divine Medicine still appear on the market from time to time, and their medicinal effects are much stronger than those of cultivated ones."
Qin Feng said.
"Oh, which region produces this resource?"
Jiang Ping's eyes lit up.
In fact, he wanted to find out about wild Divine Medicine from these Legendary Spirit Wander with family backgrounds.
"What else could it be but some kind of Forbidden Land?"
"That's what Tang Yu, dressed in all black, said."
He mentioned that resource-rich areas that can be easily accessed are basically controlled by others, but there are also some Forbidden Land where even those Spirit Wander Realm, Ninth Heaven would be injured.
These places are often unregulated, making them the most attractive destinations for wandering Spirit Wanderer without a strong background.
Of course, the mortality rate is frighteningly high.
"Putting everything else aside, the nearest Forbidden Land is within the Xingluo Domain, named Yellow Springs!"
"Three Thousand Solitary Graves?"
Jiang Ping spoke instinctively.
Tang Yu nodded and said:
"That's right. That Forbidden Land was originally a prominent island, twice the size of Zhenyung Island in terms of territory. However, it became a battlefield thousands of years ago, where two Near-Dao Being fought each other."
"Isn't that Yellow Springs Dao Lord kind-hearted, wanting to protect all the islands? How could he have dragged the war into a huge island?"
Jiang Ping was filled with doubt.
"Who knows? There are rumors that the Lineage that controls that island betrayed us and stood against Yellow Springs Dao Lord, and as a result, all the True Saints of that family were killed."
Qin Feng then spoke.
He had also heard from his elders that the great war thousands of years ago was divided into two camps, each bloodthirsty and mortal enemies. Anyone who stood on the opposite side was Life and Death foe.
It is said that millions of lives on that island were lost.
"From this perspective, Yellow Springs Dao Lord may not necessarily be a kind-hearted person worthy of praise."
You Xue pondered.
Who knows?
Qin Feng shrugged and said, "Only those Near-Dao Being know the inside story of that war. Even later True Saints can't tell who was good and who was bad. Some people believe that although the Yellow Springs Dao Lord seemed kind-hearted and protected the Three Thousand Islands, he also blocked the future of the North Nether. Otherwise, without the cage Shackles, a group of epoch-making geniuses could have emerged."
"Anyway, that island is now considered Yellow Springs Absolute Land, very dangerous, even True Saints dare not venture deep into it."
However, the Divine Medicine has amazing vitality. It is born from the creation of heaven and earth, and the place often produces Divine Medicine, making it the main place for people from all over the world to travel and adventure.
Moreover, it's not just those with no connections who are willing to go there; some Close to the Dao Seed also love to sneak in.
"Yuan Teng from my Tianluo Region once went there and obtained two clusters of Divine Medicine in one go."
Qin Feng continued.
Yuan Teng, Second Seat on the Close to the Dao Ranking passed the imperial examinations, is hailed as a prodigy whose talent is closest to that of Zhong Shenxiu.
His strength is undeniable. He has just successfully survived the Seven-Nine Tribulation and is preparing for the crucial Eighth or Ninth Tribulation, hoping to awaken his Undying characteristic ahead of time.
"That person is truly amazing. If it weren't for Zhong Shenxiu's sudden emergence, he would have firmly held the top spot before."
Tang Yu exclaimed in admiration.
