Before daybreak the next day, Cheng Yu had already left the city. The reason was because Cheng Yu didn't wish to be noticed by others.
When cultivators ventured out for training, they had to worry not only about beasts. In fact, they had to be on guard against humans. Especially in this kind of place where cultivators gathered.
Every day, there would be a lot of people entering the Death Forest to train. However, they were all in groups. Naturally, they wouldn't have to worry about people having ideas on them.
However, Cheng Yu was different. If he were to enter alone, it would easily attract the attention of others. Encountering this kind of cultivator, a lot of people would want to reap some benefits from him!
Therefore, Cheng Yu had no choice but to be on guard. It was better for him to leave alone and not attract the attention of others.
Luminous City wasn't far from the Death Forest. It was about 200 kilometers away. Cheng Yu used his flying sword and quickly arrived at the periphery of the Death Forest.
However, Cheng Yu didn't stop and flew over. Previously, when Cheng Yu was in the inn in Luminous City, he had already studied the map that he had bought.
The entire Death Forest was very big. It was roughly divided into unexplored and explored regions. The explored regions were Death Swamp, Death Bone Tomb, and Death Fantasy Ocean, three important regions.
It was rumored that there was a Death Shrine in the Death Forest. It was once the ruins of a very mysterious sect. Once, this sect had occupied the entire Death Forest. Their shrine possessed more than half of the resources in the Death Forest.
It was also because of this legend that a lot of cultivators would frequently travel to the Death Forest to train. Basically, they were all aiming for this shrine.
In the past, a lot of almighty experts had come here to investigate. Other than the mysteriousness of the forest, there were also a lot of powerful demonic beasts in the depths of the Death Forest. Even the strongest cultivators didn't dare to barge in recklessly.
Even so, they had investigated a lot of regions, but they still couldn't find this shrine. Other than hunting demonic beasts and some pill refining materials, there wasn't any other special treasures.
Therefore, there weren't many experts that appeared here. Some of the Golden Core Realm experts were already very powerful. Some of them were alchemists and blacksmiths that came here to search for materials.
According to the map, Death Swamp, Death Bone Tomb, and Death Fantasy Ocean formed a circle because the entrance to the Death Forest wasn't just Luminous City. The reason why Cheng Yu entered from here was because it was the closest to Cheng Yu.
Regardless of which entrance these cultivators entered from, they would encounter these three regions. From this, it could be seen that these three regions surrounded the center of the forest in a circle shape.
Based on this situation, if the Temple of Death really existed, it was most likely to be in the center of the forest. But what made everyone puzzled was that even the experts of the Cultivation World couldn't reach that place. They couldn't understand who else in the Cultivation World could reach that place. Could it be that it required the cultivation of an immortal? However, there were no immortals in the Cultivation World.
Even so, none of them gave up exploring the Forest of Death. With their Foundation Establishment cultivations, there weren't many better places for them to train, so they might as well try their luck here.
In the cultivation world, luck was important. Perhaps it was only a matter of opportunity. Once the opportunity arrived, one might even find the temple. Everyone came to the Forest of Death to train with this thought in mind.
Cheng Yu stood on the flying sword and flew for more than a hundred kilometers. After that, he no longer dared to fly anymore because the map recorded that this region already had Foundation Establishment flying demonic beasts. Once he attracted their attention, it would be very hard for him to escape because these flying demonic beasts were social creatures.
During the few days he was rushing towards the Forest of Death, Cheng Yu had been studying the blacksmithing jade strip that the old man had given him. Because the Forest of Death was a good place to gather blacksmithing and pill refining materials.
Cheng Yu already knew the pill refining materials like the back of his hand. However, he knew nothing about blacksmithing materials. Therefore, Cheng Yu had memorized all the pill refining materials recorded in the jade strip. The opportunity was hard to come by. He didn't wish to miss out on any of the good materials.
Along the way, Cheng Yu paid attention to the demonic beasts as he searched for the materials that he understood. Therefore, his progress was somewhat slow. However, Cheng Yu wasn't in a hurry. In any case, it wasn't a matter of a day or two.
If it was possible, Cheng Yu might even stay here for two months. With Cheng Yu's current situation, only by constantly putting himself in danger would he be able to breakthrough to the Golden Core Realm.
Cheng Yu had no idea what Kunlun's current situation was. He also didn't know what kind of experts they had sent to deal with him. However, now that he was in the Forest of Death, he shouldn't need to worry about Kunlun's people.
When he recalled Kunlun's people, it caused Cheng Yu to recall the mysterious black-clothed man he saw yesterday. In terms of familiarity, the people Cheng Yu was most familiar with were Kunlun's people. However, no matter how he looked at it, that person didn't seem to be from Kunlun. He had no idea where this sense of familiarity came from. It was truly puzzling.
The sky had already brightened up. Inside the Forest of Death, the vegetation was lush. A large amount of sunlight shone into the forest. The cries of insects and birds could be heard coming from everywhere. This kind of scenery was not as sinister as its name, Death Forest. Instead, it gave off a kind of tranquil and harmonious feeling.
However, Cheng Yu did not let his guard down because of this. On the contrary, he became even more vigilant because he knew that there was a reason why this place was called Death Forest. Furthermore, behind the tranquility, there would always be an unpredictable storm.
Every day, there would be so many people entering the Death Forest. However, the vegetation here didn't seem to have any traces of being stepped on. It was sufficient to show the regenerative ability of the vegetation.
"Zhenyuan Grass!" Suddenly, Cheng Yu was pleasantly surprised when he saw a stalk of herb growing under a big tree.
Zhenyuan Grass was the main ingredient to concoct the high-grade Zhenyuan Pill. Zhenyuan Pill was classified as a cultivation increasing pill. What did cultivators pursue? Wasn't it cultivation? With such a pill, it was like a heavenly melody to cultivators. Pills were divided into low-grade, mid-grade, high-grade, spiritual, immortal, sacred and deity. However, in this world, pills that were above spiritual grade basically didn't exist.
Therefore, high-grade pills were already the most precious pills in this world. However, pills were also divided into grades. Low-grade Zhenyuan Pill was able to increase a person's cultivation by 10 years. Middle-grade Zhenyuan Pill was able to increase a person's cultivation by 20 years. High-grade Zhenyuan Pill was able to increase a person's cultivation by 30 years. If it was a supreme-grade Zhenyuan Pill, it would be able to increase a person's cultivation by 50 years.
Cheng Yu didn't expect that after entering the Death Forest for a few hundred kilometers, he would be able to see such a supreme-grade herb. If he were to continue searching like this for two months, he wouldn't have to worry about not being able to form his core.
So what if he wasn't able to find the legendary Death Shrine? Just by relying on these herbs, he would be able to increase his cultivation by leaps and bounds.
"What a pity. This Zhenyuan Grass is not even 10 years old. Even if I were to pluck it, I would only be able to refine two high-grade Zhenyuan Pills," Cheng Yu walked forward to take a look. When he saw that this Zhenyuan Grass was still a seedling, it wasn't even 10 years old yet. Immediately, he was disappointed.
If the herb's age wasn't enough, its medicinal strength would be very limited. Even if Cheng Yu had the Six Phoenix Spiritual Flame, he would only be able to refine it into a high-grade pill.
"Haiz. It's better than nothing. Two high-grade Zhenyuan Pills are also not bad." Although he was disappointed, it was still a good start. This was still the border of the Death Forest. Thinking about it, there would be a lot of alchemists searching for herbs here. To be able to find a herb that was of sufficient age was impossible. To be able to find such a seedling was already not bad.
"Roar!" Just when Cheng Yu was preparing to pluck the Zhenyuan Grass seedling, a huge fiery-red lion jumped out from the tree and roared at Cheng Yu.
"Dark Flame Wild Lion?" Cheng Yu looked at the fiery-red lion that was glaring at him in astonishment. The fiery-red lion was a kind of fire attribute demonic beast. The fur on its body was as dazzling as flames. Its temperament was also as berserk as fire. Most importantly, it knew how to use fire attribute techniques. The flame it could spurt out was the Samadhi True Fire, extremely tyrannical. Fortunately, this lion was only in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment Realm. Otherwise, Cheng Yu would be in a difficult situation.
"Roar! Roar!" Perhaps, it had also noticed that Cheng Yu's cultivation was higher than it, so it did not dare to attack recklessly. The Dark Flame Wild Lion roared twice, attempting to use its roar to warn Cheng Yu, asking him to retreat.
However, how could Cheng Yu be scared so easily? Besides, there was still a Zhenyuan Grass here. Although it was just a seedling, two high-grade Zhenyuan Pills was enough for Cheng Yu to treat it seriously.
"Big guy, don't think that you can scare me just because you are bigger than me. Today, if you are tactful, you better move aside. Otherwise, I will pluck out all the red fur on your body," Cheng Yu stared at the Dark Flame Wild Lion and said.
"Roar!" The Dark Flame Wild Lion seemed to have understood Cheng Yu's words. Immediately, it raised its head and roared at the sky. After that, a red fireball was spat out from the lion's mouth.
"Boom!" Cheng Yu dodged the fireball. The fireball hit a thousand-year-old tree behind Cheng Yu, causing a loud sound to ring out. The tree actually fell down from the middle.
"What the f * ck! This thing is really violent. If this thing were to hit my body, I'm afraid the Qi armor on my body would be destroyed!" When he saw the might of the Dark Flame Wild Lion, Cheng Yu was also shocked.
His Qi armor was able to withstand the full power attack of a Foundation Establishment Realm late stage cultivator. However, when he saw the explosive power of the fireball, Cheng Yu felt that his Qi armor would not be able to withstand it.
Cheng Yu did not dare to think too much. He quickly took out the low-grade treasured tool that he had bought in Qiongyu Brothel. After that, a few sword Qi flew towards the wild lion.
"Clang!" "What? Qi armor?! "A strange thing happened again. Although the Dark Flame Wild Lion dodged a few of the sword Qi, there were still two that landed on its body. However, the strange thing was that this lion was actually able to unleash a red Qi armor to block the sword Qi.
According to what Cheng Yu knew, demonic beasts' abilities and attributes were innate. It did not have the ability to use Qi, or it could be said that it did not even have Qi. The reason why it was able to unleash fireballs was because of a special innate ability and the unceasing devouring of energy.
