++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++++++++++++ Deacon Ma¡¯s words made hundreds of new disciples fall into silence. A mission with a mortality rate as high as 80% Qin Yan stared at Deacon Ma with bright eyes, waiting for the next step. Deacon Ma glanced around, nodded slightly, and continued "This task is a medicine collection task" Deacon Ma said with a solemn face, "The cultivation of warriors is not only about the inner Qi realm, but also about the explosive Qi warriors. , the demand for elixirs is also essential. Any elixirs are refined from various herbs, and the extremely high-quality elixirs require natural materials and earthly treasures as raw materials" Deacon Ma's words. , is easy to understand and is common sense. Hundreds of new disciples couldn¡¯t help but nod their heads after hearing this. "The so-called treasures of heaven, materials, and earth mostly refer to ancient medicines and rare spiritual herbs that have been nurtured and grown for hundreds of thousands or even ten thousand years in some places filled with spiritual energy. They have been baptized by spiritual energy, swallowed up the essence of the sun and the moon, and then Transformation" "Real treasures of heaven, materials, and earth all have a common characteristicit is difficult to cultivate them artificially. At least, based on the background of first- and second-grade sects, it is impossible to feed the treasures of heaven and earth" "You need to know that in the world. The number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures is not large, and it takes thousands of years to mature. However, the number of sect warriors has never decreased year by year. , have been excavated at will, and are almost extinct in ordinary places, even in Lingshan and great rivers! Nowadays, a small amount of natural materials and earthly treasures all exist in various extremely dangerous placessuch as ancient lands with desolate and harsh environments, and dense swamps with poisonous insects. There are even some ancient demon lairs, and there are even some places filled with ancient forbidden laws" "This time, we have obtained some quotas in the Fire Refining Cave to go to an ancient forbidden place to dig for heavenly materials and earthly treasures" "That said, Hundreds of new disciples were all stunned. ¡®It turns out that we are going to a dangerous place to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures¡¡¯ Qin Yan nodded slightly. "This ancient forbidden land is a valley, filled with spiritual energy, growing a wide variety of spiritual herbs, including ancient medicines that are hundreds of years old and thousands of years old" "This spiritual valley, at the mouth of the valley, was created by the ancient power, It is difficult to break through the confinement. However, there is always a chance of survival. Every five years, the confinement will be weakened for a month, and a passage can be temporarily opened to enter the spiritual valley. Confinement will lead to a period of decline" "Going to the valley to collect herbs happens every five years. There is a one-month period for collecting herbs," Deacon Ma continued, "But, Linggu is an ancient forbidden place and has its own destiny. The law, even in the weak stage, has some restrictions" "It is extremely difficult for strong people to pass through. Moreover, the valley can only accommodate five people from the second level of explosive energy, and no more than twenty people from the first level of explosive energy can enter it. The number of Qi realm warriors does not exceed three thousand" "OhI see, if there are not many restrictions, how can a small character in the Qi realm in the martial arts get a chance to enter the valley to collect medicine? ¡¯ Now, Qin Yan¡¯s heart is very clear. "This time, in the Fire Refining Cave, we still managed to secure fifty quotas for disciples of the Inner Qi Realm, and one quota for the First Level of Explosive Qi" Deacon Ma lamented, "A first-grade sect relies on the breath of others to obtain these quotas. , it has been hard-won. There are five second-level sects that control this Linggu forbidden area, and Lianhuo Cave is attached to one of them, Xuantian Sect. At that time, Xuantian Sect will send a blaster. The disciples of the second-level heaven lead the team to Linggu" "Each of the five second-level sects will have one explosive second-level heaven disciple. Each second-level sect will lead four first-level sects, making a total of second-level sects. Ten first-level sects, and each of the five first-level sects will send one Explosive Qi Level 1 disciple. The number of twenty first-level sects is fifty, each of the five second-level sects. " Qin Yan completely understood "It seems that the first-grade sect is really weak and must rely on others and seek refuge with some second-grade sects in order to survive in the cracks. During this gathering of herbs, each of the five second-grade sects would produce one Explosive Qi Second Level Heaven, leading 400 martial arts inner Qi realm disciples; the twenty first-grade sects would each produce one Explosive Qi First Level Heaven, leading 50 martial arts disciples. Disciples of the Inner Qi Realm' "The cruelty of this task is" At this time, Deacon Ma's eyes became gloomy, and the expression on his face was very sad and angry, "During the process of collecting herbs, there will be competitionfor some old treasures. The major sects are fighting bloody battles to snatch the medicine. " "The five second-grade sects are five major camps, each with four first-grade sects under their command The fighting is extremely chaotic and incredibly cruel. The four first-grade sects in a large camp will all engage in intrigues and open fights."" At this point, the muscles in the corners of Deacon Ma's eyes suddenly twitched a few times, "We have participated in collecting herbs three times in the Fire Cave The first time, thirty-eight of the fifty Inner Qi Realm disciples died; The second time, forty-one people died; the third time only seven inner Qi realm disciples came out alive" "This time, it's the fourth time, we went to collect medicine" "Hiss!!!! Hear this! , hundreds of new disciples are simply silent The death rate is too high! It's bloody! In the distance, some senior peripherals are looking here, and they are talking to each other "We are going again. Then Linggu collected herbs Newborn calves are not afraid of tigers. These newcomers have no idea of ??the cruelty involved" "Yes, I remember the first time we entered Linggu to collect herbs, we were all so excited that our heads were squeezed. Want to get a spot. I thought it was a bad job. However, fifty peripheral disciples went in, and only twelve survived in the end The second time, only nine" "I'm still scared. I once participated in the third herb collection. The danger between life and death is simply incomprehensible to outsiders Those strong men of the second level of explosive energy from the second-grade sect kill people just like chopping melons and vegetables. The methods are too cruel and callous" " Here, hundreds of new disciples are all very quiet. Those who were determined before and wanted to sign up to collect herbs are now a little discouraged. After all, they are collecting herbs. In the past month, the scene has been too chaotic, and it is nothing more than a large-scale death battle. Twenty first-level sects may fight each other and fight bloody battles. "No wonder they are killed." The rate is so high' Qin Yan nodded slightly, 'The second-level sect sent out the powerful men from the second level of explosive energy to fight. The first-level sect couldn't resist it at all, and collapsed at the first touch' However, in Qin Yan's heart, there is a trace of The journey of practicing martial arts is naturally full of difficulties and thorns. If you want to make continuous breakthroughs, you must swim against the current. If it is 100% safe and there is no mortality, then you are not practicing martial arts at all. It¡¯s a little trick. The demonic blood in Qin Yan¡¯s body is faintly stirring 'Challenge, only through constant challenge can I transform and transcend! It is the danger that makes my blood boil and my fighting spirit high! In this peripheral area, every day you carry dung, carry bricks, plant vegetables and look at the forest, earning that ridiculous little contribution point, until you are trampled and played by the strong in your life, it is better to risk your life! "This time, before entering the Ling Valley to collect medicine, twenty first-grade sects and five second-grade sects gathered together and held a meeting. In the end, it was decided after discussion that during the month of collecting herbs, fights should be avoided as much as possible, and there would be no violations among the various sects. After everyone enters Linggu, divide the area for collecting herbs so that the water from the well does not interfere with the water from the river" Deacon Ma said seriously, "It stands to reason that with such an agreement, the mortality rate may be under control. Butcan we really make no mistake? " Deacon Ma shook his head, "In the world of sects, the pursuit of going against the grain is the survival of the fittest. Among warriors, if they don't agree with each other, they will kill them with one blow. Explosive Qi Realm warriors treat the Inner Qi Realm like ants. He kills people and establishes his authority at every turn, and is full of blood. For example, if a person in the Explosive Qi Realm is in a slightly bad mood, he may vent his anger by killing the nearby Inner Qi Realm. Or, for a warrior in the Inner Qi Realm, even if he says a wrong word or makes a wrong expression, he may be dead on the ground the next moment" Hearing this, everyone was filled with grief and anger. "If a word is not said right, or even an expression is wrong, , will lead to fatal disasters Even if the mood of the explosive Qi realm is purely bad, they will massacre the martial arts inner Qi realm without asking the reason "Ants are not guilty, but their weakness is a crime This is the world of sects, and it will never change. The truth" Deacon Ma smiled and shook his head. "Therefore, disciples who go to Linggu to collect herbs must keep their posture low and act with their heads down. When you see that the situation is not right, you must not show off. Saving one's life is the most important thing. After making a peace agreement, as long as the attitude is low enough and the luck is good enough, you may still be able to come out alive. " Finally, Deacon Ma glanced at the new disciples present one by one, "I have announced all the matters related to the herb collection task. Now, if you are willing to sign up to collect herbs, please stay. The sect will never force you. Everything is done voluntarily. Of course, in order to prevent the sect's orthodoxy from declining, I also hope that you can take risks, go into the valley to collect medicine, and bring back the treasures of heaven, materials and earth. As for the rewards after completing the mission, they are extremely generous. The sect can assure you of this. " "Okay, let's start the registration. Those who don't have the guts to take risks can leave now. ¡± After Deacon Ma made the announcement, hundreds of new disciplesEveryone was looking around. Then, one by one the new disciples left. This matter is indeed too suspenseful. Life and death are completely in the hands of others. If you want to survive, not only do you have to give up your dignity, but you also have to rely on luck. For example, if you encounter an explosive person, and the opponent is a little unhappy, and he gets violent, how can you still survive? Moreover, although the sects have agreed to divide their respective territories to collect herbs, who can guarantee that there will not be any territorial grabbing? In the end, most of the hundreds of new disciples dispersed, leaving only thirty-seven. Naturally, Qin Yan is among them. Qin Yan¡¯s two neighbors, Bai Chongguan, had already left. Surprisingly, the girl Dai Cui stayed. "Okay, you are very good" Deacon Ma nodded with satisfaction, "There are thirty-seven new disciples, and we can choose thirteen from the senior peripheral disciples" "Come with me" Deacon Ma turned around and go. Qin Yan and other new disciples followed closely behind. Come to the grand hall where you will receive benefits that day. A few people burst into anger and distributed thick books to Qin Yan and others. "This is an illustrated book. It records a large number of heavenly materials and earthly treasures. Each heavenly material and earthly treasure has its own valuable contribution points." Butler Ma explained, "Everyone turn to page 43 of the illustrated book. ¡From pages 43 to 62, a total of 268 kinds of medicinal herbs and flowers are recorded. These are the treasures of heaven and earth that may grow in the spiritual valley. You can familiarize yourself with them first. " " Qin Yan. Quickly turn to page 43 of the illustrated book. I saw that various plants were vividly depicted on the pages of the book. The dense small characters explained below were the name of the plant, simple effects, and the contribution points of its value 'Zhu Lingguounder 100 years, 4 contribution points; 100 More than 100 years old, 8 contribution points; More than 1000 years old, 50 contribution points; Cold tobacco Less than 100 years old, 10 contribution points; More than 100 years old, 80 contribution points; More than 1000 years old, 300 contribution points; Snakehead Mushroom Less than 100 years old, 20 contribution points Contribution points; for 100 years and above, 160 contribution points; for 1000 years and above, 600 contribution points; Deacon Na Ma greatly admired the new disciples who had the courage to sign up to collect herbs. He also had a pleasant look on his face and said with a smile. "Everyone remember, during the process of collecting herbs, try to avoid disputes with people from other sects; moreover, try to collect heavenly materials and earthly treasures with high contribution points. Don't pick the herbs if they are too young After all, your The space for storage rings is limited. If you hoard too many low-value herbs, it will be a waste In addition, you can borrow storage rings from other peripheral disciples The more storage rings you have on hand, the more valuable you will have. The more heavenly materials and earthly treasures you may bring out" "After one month, after you finish collecting herbs and leave Linggu, you must contribute 70% of the collected heavenly materials and earthly treasures to the second-grade sect, Xuantian Sect. '. The remaining 30% will be returned to the Fire Refining Cave, and the sect will withdraw another 70%. The remaining portion will be yours you can exchange it for contribution points at will" "Huh?" Qin Yan and others were stunned. Isn¡¯t this layer upon layer of exploitation? In the end, there is not much left for you The second-grade sect Xuantian Sect will draw 70% first When you return to the Fire Refining Cave, you will have to turn in 70% "Don't think too much, everyone, this is the rule of the sect world. Facts. "Yes, if nothing else happens, what you will get in the end will be at least a few hundred contribution points. With luck, it is not impossible to have a thousand contribution points" Deacon Ma smiled slightly encouragingly, "You also know, 1,000 contribution points. , you can get your hands on the secrets of king-level martial arts Hehe, if it weren't for this opportunity to collect medicine, I'm afraid you wouldn't be able to collect 1,000 contribution points in ten or eight years, right?" Having said this, the new disciples are all a little jealous. Qin Yan remained calm. "Okay, let's go back and prepare well. We will set off early tomorrow morning. In a few days, the confinement of Linggu will begin to weaken and a passage will be opened for you to enter." Deacon Ma ordered. ?¡ ?¡ ?¡ ?¡
