Jin Tao's words were well-founded and didn't violate the rules in the slightest. When newcomers arrived at the Immortal Fall Abyss, they first had to receive guidance from the elders before entering the true Immortal Fall Abyss to fight. This was a rule set by Elder Wu and the heads of the major sects. The main purpose was to prevent newcomers from not understanding the characteristics of the underground spirit beasts and increase the number of casualties.
The reasoning was very reasonable and the rules were very complete. No one could bypass them. Faced with Jin Tao's sudden enthusiasm, Yang Chen didn't lose his vigilance. He wasn't naive enough to think that he had Jin Tao's weakness in his hands and could do whatever he wanted.
Faced with Jin Tao's sudden enthusiasm, Yang Chen didn't lose his vigilance. He wasn't naive enough to think that he had Jin Tao's weakness in his hands and could do whatever he wanted. A peak Foundation Establishment expert being blackmailed by a third-layer Qi Refining cultivator. No one would be willing to do so. There was clearly some kind of conspiracy going on.
Soon, under Jin Tao's arrangements, Yang Chen entered Separation Village, a supply town formed by cultivators at the entrance of the Immortal Fall Abyss. Separation Village was at the entrance of the Immortal Fall Abyss, and it was also included in the formation at the entrance. Once out of the formation was Separation Village.
The village was underground, just like the entrance. Hundreds of luminous pearls the size of a human head were scattered overhead, illuminating the village as if it was daytime. However, it still seemed a little dark. Even the ruler of a country wouldn't be able to afford such a grand display in the secular world, but here, no one took a second look at the luminous pearls.
There were many houses, but they were all very simple and crude. Surprisingly, the concentration of spiritual energy here was much higher than above ground. If he were to cultivate here, it would be much more efficient than outside. Unfortunately, one was only allowed to cultivate for a maximum of ten years in the Immortal Fall Abyss. After that, one couldn't enter again. This was also a measure taken to balance out the various sects.
Separation Village was an important supply station for cultivators in the Immortal Fall Abyss. This wasn't their home, nor was it their sect, but a supply station. The village itself was a huge market. Anyone who could enter the village could do business in the village. However, the currency used here was not the Spirit Stones from the outside, but the Spirit Marrow obtained from the bodies of the underground spirit beasts.
The Five Elements Spirit Marrow was the essence of a kind of underground ore formed in the bodies of underground spirit beasts, so it was called Spirit Marrow. Compared to Spirit Stones, which were measured by weight, Spirit Essences were measured by blocks. Every piece of Spirit Marrow was the same size and weight. As for the Five Elements Spiritual Marrow, it was only the color that was different.
Spirit stones could provide spiritual power and could also be used for transportation. However, there was only one use for the Spirit Marrow, and that was to increase the speed at which the Spirit Veins surged out. Generally speaking, a spiritual vein that could support the cultivation of a Golden Core Stage required 10,000 pieces of each of the Five Elements Spiritual Marrow. A total of 50,000 pieces could double the spiritual power.
During the ten years in the Immortal Falling Abyss, very few people were able to kill underground spirit beasts and obtain enough spirit essence. Normally, a few people from the same sect would work together and gather the Spirit Marrow they obtained to improve a spiritual vein and provide it for a few people to cultivate at the same time.
With such a use, one would naturally have to use Spirit Marrow to exchange for everything in Separation Village. This was the case for elixirs and Dharma treasures.
Yang Chen was a newcomer. Under Jin Tao's guidance, he was assigned a room that belonged to him for the next ten years. At the same time, he was given a jade slip that introduced various types of underground spirit beasts and settled down.
"Junior Brother Yang, you must carefully study the weaknesses of the underground spirit beasts. You must remember that this concerns your life!" Jin Tao was afraid that Yang Chen didn't understand the seriousness of the matter, so he tried his best to remind him. "When you feel that it's about time, you will need to undergo a test. Once you pass the test, you can enter the real Immortal Falling Abyss to hunt for Spirit Marrow."
"How will this test be carried out?" Yang Chen asked a question on the road.
"There's a training field in Li Luo Village. You can pass the test by killing one spirit beast of each of the five elements," Jin Tao said with a smile. He tried to make it sound as simple as possible, "Let me know when you're ready!"
"Thank you, Senior Brother!" Yang Chen said politely as he sent Jin Tao off. After watching Jin Tao leave, Yang Chen sat down and examined the jade slip with his divine sense. A cold smile immediately appeared on his face.
The jade slip did indeed record the weaknesses of the various Five Elements Spiritual Beasts, but that was all. Underground spirit beasts didn't only have one type of strength, and the jade slip didn't contain information on the different levels. Although they had the same weaknesses, everyone knew that meeting a low-level spirit beast and a high-level spirit beast wouldn't result in the same outcome.
Jin Tao had given Yang Chen such a jade slip, so it was clear that he had some ulterior motives. Unfortunately, he had encountered Yang Chen. Perhaps Jin Tao's knowledge of underground spirit beasts would be multiplied by ten, and he still wouldn't be able to surpass Yang Chen's. His efforts were destined to be in vain.
Evil intentions could harm people's hearts, so Yang Chen now had one more enemy in his heart: Jin Tao. If Jin Tao knew that his arrangement today had completely offended Yang Chen, he did not know if he would regret it.
There was nothing special about the house. It was just for Yang Chen to rest in Separation Village. There was only a simple bed and a futon. Yang Chen didn't care about this at all. He didn't even sit down before he left the house and went to a market place in a corner of Separation Village.
The Immortal Falling Abyss was underground, so there was no distinction between day and night. At any time, there were people coming in and out of the village, and there were people coming and going in the market place.
Yang Chen didn't feel strange at all. There was no open space in the middle of the bustling market. He directly found a small open space in the corner, then he took out a jade bottle from his Qiankun bag and put it on the ground. In front of the jade bottle, there was a conspicuous piece of white cloth with two rows of black words written on it, "Second Cycle Qi Nourishing Pill, one piece of Jade Essence, ten pills!" After putting it away, he didn't shout, he just sat quietly, waiting for the guests to come.
There were not many people in the corner. Yang Chen was a new face, and he was also a disciple in the Qi Refining Stage. These Foundation Establishment Stage and Dan Stage masters could almost determine that Yang Chen was in the Early Stage of Refining Stage with a scan of their spiritual awareness. What good things could a junior in the Qi Refining Stage have? No one stopped in front of him at all.
In such a situation, Yang Chen was not anxious at all. He just sat quietly and slowly practiced the Three Purities Secret Art. Only the Three Purities Secret Art could stop at any time without interference.
Just after practicing for less than half an hour, Yang Chen felt that there was one more person in front of him. At the same time, a low exclamation came into his ears "Do you really have a Second Cycle Qi Nourishing Pill?"
