Cultivation: the Rise of a Live-In Son-In-Law-Chapter 281 - 279: Scouring Spirit Medicines in the Forbidden Land, Jiang Lingyue Heads to Danling City for Assessment, Too Bullying to the Beasts!
"Captain, did I see it wrong?! He went in alone?!"
The female team member widened her eyes, her voice filled with obvious shock.
The Black Tide Forbidden Land is no child’s play!
Postnatal, Innate, even Martial Arts Grandmasters... who knows how many have fallen within!
Entering with a group is like adding a layer of insurance. After all, in true danger, they can still help each other.
But going alone... all you can do is pray for good luck.
...
Lu Ye had no idea that his solitary venture into the Black Tide Forbidden Land would shock the team of martial artists trailing behind him.
At this moment, he had already swiftly traversed several miles, officially entering the outer periphery of the forbidden area.
Here, the Heaven and Earth Source Qi was quite dense, and even this outer area wasn’t much less concentrated than that of the Red Cloud Sect.
"The Source Qi is indeed dense. It’s no wonder only such abundant Source Qi can nurture various treasures."
In the outer area, generally, there were Tier One and Tier Two fierce beasts, equivalent to the Condensing Origin Realm and the Postnatal Realm.
When these beasts saw the passing Lu Ye, they were just about to show signs of intimidation... when the human figure before them vanished.
At once, these beasts were bewildered, thinking their eyes deceived them.
As he moved forward, Lu Ye scanned large areas, searching for the Shadow Flower needed for his mission.
Though Shadow Flowers mostly appeared deep within the forbidden area, there was still a chance to find them in the outer and middle regions.
Unfortunately, Lu Ye’s luck wasn’t explosive; despite traversing dozens of miles, he found nothing noteworthy.
The outer region did have a lot of Tier One and Tier Two spirit medicines and spirit grasses. After some thought, Lu Ye picked these along his path.
He certainly had no use for such low-tier items, but kept them for Jiang Lingyue, who had already become an Alchemist, to practice with.
Any mature Alchemist has enough experience only after a great deal of practice. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
...
The Black Tide Forbidden Land was indeed vast. Only after half a day did Lu Ye officially step into the central area.
Here, it was already possible to occasionally see Tier Three fierce beasts, comparable to the Innate Realm, emerging and battling each other.
"Tier Three spirit medicine, not bad either."
Watching two Tier Three fierce beasts fighting over a Tier Three spirit medicine, Lu Ye’s eyes lit up.
Then, under the stunned eyes of the two Innate Realm fierce beasts, a bipedal human darted in without any disguise...
He uprooted the spirit medicine that the two beasts were fiercely contending for!
Instantly, the two beasts stopped fighting and continuously roared angrily at Lu Ye, feeling utterly bullied!
They thought they were no less than the Tier One and Tier Two weaklings of the outer regions!
Seeing the two fierce beasts showing ferocity and preparing to pounce, Lu Ye’s eyes turned cold.
A terrifying aura, enough to frighten beasts, suddenly enveloped the entire area!
In an instant, the eyes of those two charging fierce beasts became clear!
"Roar... Awoo..."
One of them couldn’t help but tremble in its legs, turning its roar into a completely submissive whine.
Lu Ye glanced indifferently at the two trembling fierce beasts, continuing to collect the nearby low-tier spirit medicines.
Several minutes later, only after Lu Ye left, did the two Innate Realm fierce beasts heave a sigh of relief.
It wasn’t that the beasts lacked courage... but that human was just too frightening!
In their perception, not even the Beast King deep within was so terrifying!
...
Elsewhere, in Wuxiang Mountain.
Returning to the sect, Jiang Lingyue seemed as if she had taken a Miracle Elixir. She succeeded perfectly three times in concocting Tier One Elixirs.
"Not bad, your control is quite outstanding among Tier One Alchemists. If you have time, you can come with me to Northern Border Danling City to assess for the Alchemist badge." Su Liuying nodded at her side and said.
Danling City is a highly special city in the Northern Territory and is the headquarters of the Alchemy Association in the north.
Moreover, Danling City perpetually hosts no fewer than five Martial Arts Grandmasters overseeing it.
If not for Danling City’s special status, making it unfit to be considered ordinary, the most powerful in the Northern Territory wouldn’t be the Myriad Laws Sect, but Danling City.
Furthermore, the Alchemy Association is spread across the Great Jing, with Danling Cities in each state, truly one of the top forces in the territory if assessed as a collective power!
"I have the time, so I’ll trouble Steward Su," Jiang Lingyue replied immediately.
Obtaining the certified badge from the Alchemy Association not only gives one officially recognized Alchemist status...
There are also annual benefits!
"Very well, once I settle some matters at the peak, you can accompany me to Northern Border Danling City," Su Liuying said. "Coincidentally, I need to go for an assessment as well."
Hearing this, Jiang Lingyue was immediately shocked and said, "Steward Su, you’re not planning to... assess for Tier Four Alchemist, are you?! Congratulations Steward Su!"
Su Liuying was previously a Tier Three Alchemist, capable of concocting the highest-level elixirs beneficial for the Innate Realm.
If she advances by one more level... she becomes a Tier Four Alchemy Master!
A Tier Four Alchemy Master’s status in the Northern Territory... is indeed intimidating.
With a slight smile, Su Liuying shook her head and said, "You little girl, what did you eat while out that made your mouth so sweet now?"
After a pause, she continued, "However, the Tier Four Alchemist assessment is not easy, and I’m not very confident either."
Jiang Lingyue carefully asked, "Then, Steward Su, how confident are you?"
Sighing, Su Liuying gestured, "Not too confident, just... about an eighty percent chance."
Jiang Lingyue: "???
...
In the forbidden area, the central region was even more expansive. Lu Ye glanced at the sky and decided to spend the night in the central region.
The danger level here was evidently much less than that of the deeper areas.
Early tomorrow, he would venture deeper, hopefully finding the Shadow Flower, and then promptly withdraw from this place.
Soon, night fell.
At night, the danger level of the Black Tide Forbidden Land suddenly increased significantly.
Many fierce beasts that hadn’t emerged during the day also came out to hunt at this time.
In the outer region, the five-person team that advanced less than a kilometer during the day had now set up camp in a concealed location, each member shivering slightly.
Meanwhile, in the central region...
A lone figure casually set up a barrier, then sat cross-legged on a green stone, absorbing the dense Heaven and Earth Source Qi within the forbidden land.
All around him, many Innate Realm fierce beasts couldn’t help but drool as they passed by; the bipedal human... was just too tempting!
However, sensing the aura that could even crush the Beast King from deep within coming from that direction...
These usually unruly Innate Realm fierce beasts hurriedly wiped their drool with their paws and quickly exited the area with their tails between their legs.
