These guys wouldn't just believe something based on a single sentence, would they?
Or are these people all in cahoots, coming here to deceive themselves?
Will they then find a place inside the forbidden area to kill themselves?
Su Mu raised an eyebrow, and in an instant, he considered a variety of possibilities.
He wouldn't completely believe everything the other person said just because of a few words.
"This route was recorded on a Jade Slip slip obtained by a friend after he entered the forbidden area, and that's how I brought it out."
"My friend was severely injured in the forbidden area and only managed to escape alive thanks to this route. He perished shortly afterward. I only learned of this route from this Jade Slip, which is why I invited these fellow Daoists, and you, sir."
Seeing that Su Mu seemed somewhat skeptical, Sheng Fanhong quickly added.
"I have already shown you a section of this route and had these fellow Daoists verify it. They all verified it before preparing to cooperate with me to enter."
After Sheng Fanhong finished speaking, the other cultivators all nodded in agreement, indicating that what he said was true.
However, Su Mu still did not believe him upon hearing this.
"If you don't believe me, I can tell you a part of it. You can verify it yourself and then decide whether to travel with us."
Seeing that Su Mu remained unmoved, Sheng Fanhong could only continue speaking.
Su Mu frowned upon hearing this, as if the other person's expression suggested that what they said was indeed true.
They weren't even worried about verifying whether what the other person said was true or false.
The forbidden area is fraught with danger; any safe route in and out would be priceless.
"If that's the case, why do you trust me so much, fellow Daoist?"
Su Mu was unwilling to easily trust the other party, so the other party shouldn't easily trust him either.
It's utterly absurd to just grab anyone off the street and treat them like a teammate to join the group.
Hearing this, Sheng Fanhong and the others exchanged glances, then gave a wry smile.
"Fellow Daoist, you still brought this up."
After thinking for a moment, the group gritted their teeth and said...
"Very well, then I'll tell you, fellow Daoist."
Since the other party has already asked about this, there's no room for them to say anything.
"Going down this path isn't entirely without obstacles. You'll encounter a female demon along the way. This female demon is from Shanggu and has a fondness for cultivators like you, fellow Daoist. Of course, she doesn't want your life, but only your vital essence."
"If we give it to them, we can get through safely; if we don't, this female demon is extremely troublesome and we could easily be trapped and die inside."
"We were impressed by your dignified and imposing presence just now, which is why that female demon favors you, and that's why we extended the invitation."
Sheng Fanhong spoke, the others nodded in agreement.
"That's true. We've arrived at that place, but we can't get through, and that's what's troubling us."
What kind of succubus is this? And with such unique tastes!
Su Mu was speechless. It seemed unlikely that the other party would lie to her about something like this.
After all, you can find out by asking others.
How can you determine that I meet the criteria?
Su Mu found it a bit strange and asked a question.
Forget about being imposing Righteous Qi; Su Mu might have some righteous spirit, but if that's the case, the other side could just go and capture those scholars.
If one isn't enough, just catch more.
With their capabilities, they can definitely do it.
"The main reason is that the item given by the succubus has a connection to it."
Sheng Fanhong spoke, he took out an object that resembled neither gold nor jade.
At this moment, the thing kept flashing with light.
The closer one gets to Su Mu, the brighter the light becomes.
Upon seeing this, Su Mu couldn't help but raise an eyebrow. Judging from the appearance of this thing, the other party didn't seem to be lying.
But why did this thing specifically target him?
He actually has quite a few secrets, and it's unclear what it was about him that caught her eye.
"Did they specify what kind of cultivator they need?"
Su Mu found it strange, as the other party had never mentioned what kind of cultivator they needed from beginning to end.
"They never mentioned it, but seeing our sincerity, they gave us this item, saying that if someone could make it flash, then they would meet the requirement."
Su Mu was speechless for a moment upon hearing this.
In that case, it seems unnecessary for him to go with the other person.
Who knows if that succubus had other intentions?
"In that case, I see no reason to go in with you all."
Su Mu shook his head. This guy who had come out so rashly wanted him to come along, but he really hadn't planned on going in with him.
Upon hearing Su Mu's words, the cultivator beside him immediately became anxious.
That won't do; Su Mu has to go.
Otherwise, how would we get past the banshee?
"Fellow Daoist, the forbidden area is filled with countless treasures! And the number of herbs that can increase lifespan is even greater!"
"Indeed, fellow Daoist, such an opportunity is rare and precious. To encounter one is fortuitous opportunity, and there's no such thing as turning away fortuitous opportunity."
"Even if you are currently free from worries about your lifespan, how can you know if you will have to worry about it in the future? As the saying goes, the path of cultivation is inherently against the will of Heaven. How can you be so lacking in ambition?"
The cultivator standing nearby grew anxious.
They've been worried about this for a long time, searching for a suitable cultivator without success.
We finally found it, but it seems Su Mu doesn't want to go.
That's a forbidden area! Countless cultivators would love to find a safe way in, so why does Su Mu seem so uninterested?
"Oh, right, it also contains High Antiquity spiritual flames. If we get our hands on these, we can use them for refining weapons and pills, and there are also High Antiquity techniques inside."
Seeing that Su Mu remained unmoved, the surrounding cultivators continued to speak.
High Antiquity spirit flames?
Upon hearing this, Su Mu's expression shifted slightly; this thing had indeed caught Su Mu's attention.
If Su Mu had more spiritual flames, his cultivation on Earth would be even more powerful.
As for the High Antiquity methods, Su Mu scoffed at them.
Su Mu knew in his heart that some of the High Antiquity methods were usable, but others were useless.
It's fair to say that most of them are of little use.
Several cultivators were all staring expectantly at Su Mu.
Su Mu Su Mu still deep in thought; he did indeed want the spirit medicine that could increase lifespan.
This item is almost impossible to buy; anyone who has such a treasure keeps it for themselves.
No cultivator would sell it, since everyone knows how important lifespan is to them.
Every extra bit of lifespan increases the chances of a better future.
Besides, every family has a younger generation; even if you don't need them yourself, you still need them.
