About the Sun Moon Lake's fairyland, Chen Yun was deeply moved.
However, there is still one thing that is not clear, and I need to ask more questions properly.
He looked at Qin Ming and said, "Supervisor Qin, is there any danger inside the Sun Moon Lake fairyland?"
Chen Yun wants to gather the celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots in hopes of attaining longevity. Naturally, he needs to inquire about the situation; otherwise, it would be too unworthy to lose his life for the sake of these roots.
"There are naturally dangers," Qin Ming slowly introduced: "For example, at the place where the Sun Moon Spring bubbles up, there are too many powerful spiritual beasts and divine beasts gathered. These spiritual beasts and divine beasts are particularly strong and aggressive. If you intrude into their territory, they will attack you. For example, I have seen someone who intruded into the territory of the Black Tortoise, and it was directly ground into powder."
If there is only danger at the place where the Sun Moon Spring bubbles up, Chen Yun is not worried.
What he currently needs most is the celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots, not the treasure.
Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If you don't try, you'll never know.
Chen Yun was quietly pondering.
But then Qin Ming changed the subject, "Although those spiritual beasts and divine beasts are powerful, if we all go together and join forces, they are not invincible. In fact, it's not a big danger at all."
Chen Yun asked for guidance, "What is the real danger?"
"People!" Qin Ming said with a serious face: "The Sun Moon Lake fairyland is isolated from the outside world. Whatever happens inside, as long as people are not involved, they cannot know the situation. Yes, even the sacred ones, if they do not enter the fairyland, will not be able to calculate what has happened. Therefore, some cultivators with bad character enter it and may have evil intentions. For example, they are greedy for other people's treasures and see someone who has obtained some incredible celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots. Therefore, when entering the fairyland, the most important thing to pay attention to is people around you; secondly, other groups of people should be paid attention to."
Chen Yun was taken aback, "Will many people go to the fairyland?"
"The Sun Moon Lake fairyland is located on an overseas island called 'Yingzhou,'" Qin Ming said with certainty: "Yes, it's the legendary fairyland of Yingzhou. The island is just a part that extends from Yingzhou into the mortal world, which is why the Sun Moon Lake such an extraordinary fairyland was born. Because that island is part of the Yingzhou fairyland, it opens every fifty years, attracting a multitude of cultivators. Not only are there cultivators from Tang Dynasty, but also many vassal states and savages. Some of these savages have golden hair and blue eyes, while others are as dark as Kunlun slaves."
Chen Yun asked eagerly: "How many people will probably go?"
Qin Ming carefully recalled, "Around ten thousand."
Ten thousand cultivators will go?
So it indeed seems very dangerous.
Imagine, the Sun Moon Lake fairyland is a "lawless land". If other cultivators are greedy for your artifacts, celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots, and so on, would they not take advantage of their high cultivation and commit murder and robbery, or make underhanded deals?
After all, whatever happens inside will not be known to the outside world, and at this point, people's hearts become unpredictable.
Publicly, he frowned and said, "Such a large number of cultivators is indeed dangerous. I cannot accompany my teacher to go there, and the divine weapons and generals cannot be taken with me. If something happens there, the consequences will truly be unimaginable."
Qin Ming smiled and waved his hand, saying, "In fact, Mr. Gong doesn't need to worry so much. It's very dangerous for a scattering cultivator to go in, but we are a group of dozens of cultivators who have formed groups and have Wu Zhongzhi, Kang Zhongzhi, and myself who are comparable to upper-level magicians. With Mr. Chen's ferociousness, we will not encounter much danger unless we meet powerful magicians at the level of sect leaders or true immortals who may be unable to defeat them. However, there may be some issues in distributing celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots. We need to see how much effort was made at that time and decide what each person gets afterward."
It means "the more work, the more rewards," which looks to be very fair indeed.
Speaking of which, just like what Qin Ming said, who knows if other cultivators will be envious of how much you distribute?
At that time, you exerted a lot of effort. It's likely that your strength was not at its peak and you might suffer some serious injuries. Others would find it easy to calculate against you.
Furthermore, if you encounter senior magicians, sect leaders, or immortals, no matter how many people you have, it won't be of much use.
Chen Yun thinks that the average cultivators might be able to work together to kill high-level magicians, but if they encounter sect leaders or immortals, they will have to rely on fate.
So the danger has greatly increased.
He was torn for a moment, not knowing whether he should go or not.
"Will there be many strong cultivators?" Chen Yun asked again, "For example, how many true immortals, sect leaders, or high-level cultivators will there usually be?"
Qin Ming shook his head and said, "This is not easy to say. Fifty years ago when I and others went to the Sun Moon Lake fairyland, it seemed there were four or five true immortals, sect leaders had about seven or eight, high-level magicians were not calculated in detail, but conservatively estimated not less than twenty."
Chen Yun felt a chill in his heart. With so many powerful cultivators, it seems like the chances of encountering them are quite high.
Fortunately, Qin Ming added: "However, either true immortals or sect leaders generally do not pay attention to our treasures. Moreover, if we encounter any celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots that they need, we can just avoid them. These giant cultivators who have the ability to move mountains and change the stars and planets do not usually bother with people with shallow cultivation. We should be more careful about high-level magicians because there are many possible conflicts of interests."
If it's just high-level magicians, it seems like there might be a chance to make a fortune through risks.
Chen Yun has the ability to control the golden light of the earth, which allows him to escape at any time. Moreover, there is also the "Trap Immortals Flag," so if he finds an opportunity, there's a good chance of being able to kill a high-level magician.
The problem is that high-level sect leaders and true immortals have the absolute ability to kill.
At this point, Qin Ming asked: "Mr. Chen, have you decided to go with us? The time is tight. If you want to go with us, we must set off as soon as possible in the next two days to avoid missing the fairyland opening."
Chen Yun has not made up his mind yet, "Please give me some time to think it over. Can I give you an answer tomorrow morning?"
Qin Ming nodded and said, "Okay. If Mr. Chen decides to go with us, we will set off together tomorrow morning. If Mr. Chen is afraid of danger and does not want to go, I will go alone to find Wu Zhongzhi and Kang Zhongzhi."
Chen Yun nodded and said, "Public fear extreme, find a room for Gong to live in, good treatment."
Public Fear Extreme hurriedly said, "Alright, Teacher, I will lead Supervisor Qin to the guest room right away."
Qin Ming stood up and said, "Thank you, Mr. Gong."
...
Return to the bedroom.
Chen Yun immediately took out all the treasures he currently had and began to judge whether he could go.
As only one person can enter the fairyland at a time, therefore disciples, divine weapons and generals, as well as spiritual beasts cannot be taken along.
To obtain the celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots, he must rely on his own cultivation and a series of magical artifacts and treasures.
"Red Gold Chopping Sword, Flying Needle, Formation Flag, Tiger Skin Armor, Small Dog, White Handkerchief, Bonding Dragon Scale Rope, Fire-breathing Pearl, White Jade Ring, Flying Sword, Trap Immortals Flag, Three Metal Flowers, Peachwood Sword, Dust Brush and Scepter are all useful."
Chen Yun picked out these items and then glanced at the side, "The Yellow Banner Warrior Token, the Control Spirit Copper Bell, and the Soul Refining Banner are not very useful. Especially the Yellow Banner Warrior Token, it is very possible that it contains a sealed Yellow Banner Warrior within. It's better not to take it. The earthen jar containing the insect pests works in the same way and should not be taken either."
After carefully pondering, Chen Yun concluded that out of all his magical artifacts and treasures, the three most likely to kill high-level cultivators were the Chasing Dragon Rope, the Immortal Capturing Flag, and the Fine Dog.
Chaining the Dragon Rope was proven by Cai Rujin last time.
Even a high-level cultivator would not be able to break free from it for a while.
Once the Chaining the Dragon Rope can bind an enemy, the chances of defeating them greatly increase.
If he encounters cultivators who practice "God," Chen Yun has the "Trap Immortals Flag" that can restrain them.
As for the Fine Dog artifact, it was personally refined for him by Lü Dongbin.
He once said that as long as it's not a true immortal cultivator, this artifact can catch them off guard and there is a chance to sneak attack and kill them.
"If we can attack them when they are unprepared, not only the Fine Dog can kill someone a level higher than its own. Other artifacts like the Flying Needle, Flying Sword and so on also have a chance to do so."
Chen Yun kept thinking, "After all, not every cultivator has refined their body. Many cultivators have very weak physical bodies before they achieve enlightenment. As long as they haven't released protective spells, there is a high probability of hitting and killing them with artifacts in a surprise attack."
Thinking about it, he looked at the two sacred artifacts - the Tai Chi Purple Sash and the Crystalline Rainbow Tower.
"The Tai Chi Purple Sash can protect my 'Divine' from death, it is a must-have item."
Chen Yun also took the sash and said, "As for the Crystalline Rainbow Tower, although I cannot use it at present, maybe there will be some kind of divine potion in the Yueyue Cave that can elevate me to an upper-level cultivator instantly. If it really can, then the tower will become useful then, and I will take it along to the cave as well."
He also put the tower away in his sleeve.
After making a list of the necessary artifacts, Chen Yun gently knocked on the table.
"I'll bring some recovery pills, otherwise I will have a hard time killing others and gaining treasures or celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots. Having recovery pills can avoid this situation."
He then put some bottles and jars into his sleeve.
There are many pills obtained from corpse-stealing.
There are also some pills that he accumulated while studying the art of alchemy over the past three years.
Although they are not particularly good pills, they do have some effect.
As he needs to increase his self-defense capabilities, he naturally has to bring along the pills.
"Oh, yes, I also have the Heron Grass."
Chen Yun put the spiritual root into his sleeve, "If I really get my physical body disabled, perhaps this spiritual herb can save my life."
All the magical artifacts and pills are ready.
He sat there and recalled his skills again, "Zi Wei Mian, Golden Light Sutra, Pot Heaven Technique, Dragon Slaying Technique and so on, all of them can allow me to fight at a level higher than my own. Adding the existence of Dao body, as long as I don't deliberately die a lot, I should not be in too much danger."
Alright, let's go to the Sun and Moon Lake.
However, during this journey, you should be on guard against Wu Keju and Kang Yuan, and other evil cultivators.
Chen Yun knows that among these people, only Qin Ming, who has always been nice to him, may be trustworthy. But this is just a possibility of trustworthiness, not absolute confidence.
No matter what, he has been stuck at the middle-level cultivator stage for too long. This time when he goes to the Yueyue Cave Fairyland, no matter how many powerful artifacts or celestial and terrestrial spiritual roots he collects, he must at least obtain the ingredients for refining the Essence-Refined Qi Liquid.
Once he collects those herbs, it should be no time at all before he can break through to the upper-level cultivator stage.
In order to break through to the upper-level cultivator, Chen Yun finally made up his mind and was ready to go farming in the Yueyue Cave.
"Perhaps I will be lucky enough to obtain another artifact and some legendary fragments."
Chen Yun was very much looking forward to this journey, hoping to reap a bountiful harvest.
Of course, because this operation is very dangerous, he doesn't know if he will be able to return from the Yueyue Lake.
"Before going to the cave, let's go back to the Dahei Mountain to take a look at our families and see how they are doing."
Chen Yun felt a bit nostalgic, "Also, I'll inform my master of my whereabouts so that he won't come to the Qingcheng Mountain and not find me. Hmm, I can also ask my master to read a fortune teller's divination to see how auspicious or inauspicious this trip to the Sun and Moon Lake will be."
