Chapter 22: The Misty Forest (3)

  "I learned from a senior outer sect disciple that this mysterious array can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth on its own, providing for the needs of the array. Moreover, it can prevent cultivators who have reached the Gathering Qi stage or higher from entering. In other words, only cultivators in the Foundation Building stage or lower can enter, while those with slightly higher cultivation will be blocked by the array. As soon as this happened, it immediately caused a high level of attention within the sect, and a large number of Foundation Building disciples were sent to investigate, but there was no clue at all." Duan Yun said slowly.

  The three of them listened with rapt attention, and Duan Yun said proudly: "Later, it was discovered that the disciples below the foundation period could enter this place. After more than a hundred years, through the careful examination of millions of disciples, not a single important answer was obtained. The results of the investigation were even more disappointing to the sect's high-level officials! Fortunately, there are many first-grade spiritual beasts inside, and due to the special living environment, the inner elixirs of these first-grade spiritual beasts all contain pure heavenly and earthly spiritual energy. Moreover, their blood, flesh, tendons, bones, and fur are also excellent basic materials for refining elixirs and instruments.

  After investigation, it was also found that in the Misty Forest, there is a grayish-black fruit tree that bears fruit every ten years. This fruit can be used to refine elixirs or taken orally, with an effect equivalent to half a low-grade spiritual stone. Later on, the sect hung the task of investigating this place in the Outer Affairs Hall of the inner and outer gates, for some disciples to take during their foundation-building period. Or every ten years, they would organize a large number of Qi-refining period disciples to enter this place for trial practice. This is the specific information about the Misty Forest.

  Listening to Duan Yun's detailed account, Chang Sheng couldn't help but admit that although Duan Yun usually didn't seem to have any advantages and wasn't diligent in his cultivation, he would always collect various information during his free time. Who would have thought that it would play a crucial role today?

  Anyway, at least they knew some of the characteristics of this foggy forest and the sect's attitude towards it. The four of them rested on the spot for a while, and Changsheng took out a large amount of delicious food from his waist bag, and the four of them ate without any image.

  Due to Chang Sheng's usual stability and great strength, the three of them unanimously decided that this Qian Kun bag borrowed from the Outer Affairs Hall would be handed over to Chang Sheng for safekeeping. When they were about to leave the mountain, the four of them went to the cafeteria and prepared enough food for four people for a month, all of which was packed into the Qian Kun bag by Chang Sheng.

  According to the records of "Cultivation Knowledge", the Qiankun Bag contains a space of 100 cubic meters. After dripping blood to acknowledge ownership, it can be connected with one's thoughts. Items placed inside will be isolated to one corner according to one's thoughts, and the space inside the Qiankun Bag is a prohibited space. No matter how long items are stored in the Qiankun Bag, when taken out, they will always appear as they were when put in.

  For these simple cultivation techniques, the four of them had long since memorized them, so before going down the mountain, they would pack this much food. This avoided the danger of starting a fire to cook in the wilderness. After all, in the wild, especially at night, the light from the fire might attract some spirits roaming in the darkness.

  Watching the sunrise rise bit by bit, shining on the earth, the warm sunlight made Changsheng and the other three feel especially warm in this cold season. After resting for a while, Changsheng and the others got up at the same time and walked towards the misty forest.
