[Consuming one low-level spirit stone to begin a new life simulation.]

Four months later, you refined pills in the alchemy hall and stored up another thirty Spirit Recovery Pills.

The forbidden area trial begins on time. Led by the outer sect elder, you enter the forbidden area along with hundreds of Yellow Maple Valley disciples.

You had just entered when a small blue snake rushed at you. You dodged it and killed it.

Several disciples of Yellow Maple Valley were a fraction of a second too slow; they were bitten by the small blue snake and died from the venom.

Five months later, you had gathered a considerable amount of spiritual herbs and medicines, and found a sufficiently secluded place to refine pills using an alchemy cauldron.

Six months later, you successfully refined forty Rejuvenation Pills, and you stopped cultivating to break through to a higher realm.

Eight months later, you consumed forty Rejuvenation Pills, successfully breaking through to the late stage of the eighth level of the Qi Refining realm.

Nine months later, you were ambushed by three fellow disciples from the Yellow Maple Valley, all of whom were at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage.

They received orders from Mo Lianyu to kill you during the forbidden trial.

After a fierce battle, you successfully killed two disciples of Yellow Maple Valley, while the third fled in panic, and you did not pursue him.

Nine months and a week later, you entered the cave dwelling of a Core Formation stage cultivator and arrived at the cave's herb garden.

The medicinal herb fields in the herb garden were in a mess, having already been looted. You could smell a particularly strong medicinal fragrance in one particular spot.

Sure enough, in a place filled with the fragrance of herbs, you discovered a thousand-year-old ginseng.

A disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect appears behind you, intending to kill you and steal the thousand-year-old ginseng.

You were prepared and dodged the sneak attack from the Spirit Beast Sect disciples. Seeing their attack fail, the disciples quickly fled the area.

Nine months and eight days later, you explored several secret chambers in the cave, most of which had been looted.

You have arrived at the deepest alchemy chamber in the cave; there may be a great opportunity inside.

Just as you were about to open the alchemy room, three disciples from the Purple Moon Sect rushed out, all of them at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.

They attacked you without warning; you were no match for them.

You tried to escape, but the disciples of the Purple Moon Sect had no intention of letting you go, and you were killed inside the cave.

[The following options can be retained after the simulation.]

[Option 1: Retain all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experience.]

[Option 2: Retain your cultivation level.]

[Option 3: Maintain blood circulation and physical condition.]

Option 4: Keep the items that appear.

Since he has achieved a breakthrough in his cultivation in the life simulation, Han Feng will definitely choose option 2.

His cultivation level successfully broke through to the ninth level of Qi Refining, and his magical power also increased significantly.

"The disciples of the Purple Moon Sect have serious problems with their performance."

Han Feng was only outside; he hadn't entered the alchemy room yet.

The three disciples of the Purple Moon Sect wanted to kill him to cover their tracks, not wanting him to escape again.

They would never have done that if the alchemy room didn't contain anything precious.

"This time I can enter the cave ahead of time and see what's hidden inside?"

Han Feng's cultivation has already broken through to the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage, so he is not in a hurry to break through again.

What he cares about most is the opportunity to enter a Core Formation stage cave. If he has the chance to obtain it, his cultivation may break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.

[Consuming one low-level spirit stone to begin a new life simulation.]

Four months later, the forbidden area trial began on time, and the three sects gathered on the outskirts of the forbidden area.

Led by the outer sect elders, you entered the forbidden area along with hundreds of Yellow Maple Valley disciples.

....

Five months later, having gathered a considerable amount of spiritual herbs and medicines from the outer areas, you felt the time was right and headed towards the central region ahead of schedule.

Five months and a week later, in your cave dwelling where you are about to reach the Core Formation stage, five disciples from Yellow Maple Valley stop you.

Three of them were at the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, and two were at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.

These five disciples of Yellow Maple Valley were ordered by Mo Lianyu to ambush and kill you within the forbidden area.

I thought you'd be hiding on the outskirts of the forbidden area, but you've appeared here instead, which saves me a lot of trouble.

After a fierce battle, you killed two weaker disciples of Huangfeng Valley.

Then you escaped with minor injuries.

Five and a half months later, your injuries have healed, and the cave dwelling of the Core Formation stage has been opened. You follow the others into the cave dwelling.

You were the first to enter the herb garden, where the fields were planted with spiritual herbs and medicines, and the rich aroma of the herbs was irresistible.

Before the group could even gather any spiritual herbs and medicines, they began fighting and killing each other, with disciples of lower cultivation levels being killed one after another.

Two reckless disciples of the Purple Moon Sect are trying to steal the spiritual medicine from you.

You showed no mercy and killed them one by one.

In the next few secret chambers, bloody battles broke out, and of the hundreds of people who entered, fewer than twenty survived.

Those who survived all had cultivation levels at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage; those with slightly lower cultivation levels were eliminated.

You have obtained a hundred-year-old ginseng, a hundred-year-old Hundred Spirit Grass, and countless other spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, as well as a high-level sword.

Six months later, you arrived at the last alchemy room. Before you could even enter, a disciple of the Purple Moon Sect rushed out.

Even if all of you worked together, you wouldn't be a match for her alone; you were all killed outside.

[The following options can be retained after the simulation.]

[Option 1: Retain all learned knowledge, skills, and combat experience.]

[Option 2: Retain your cultivation level.]

[Option 3: Maintain blood circulation and physical condition.]

Option 4: Keep the items that appear.

"This disciple of the Purple Moon Sect has probably already reached the Foundation Establishment stage?"

Han Feng never expected such a big change to happen later.

A disciple of the Purple Moon Sect who rushed out was actually able to kill more than a dozen disciples at the ninth level of the Qi Refining stage.

Moreover, the dozen or so people who were able to reach the end of the cave were far stronger than ordinary ninth-level Qi Refining disciples.

The disciples of the Purple Moon Sect who rushed out would have had no chance of killing these dozen or so people if they hadn't reached the Foundation Establishment stage.

"It seems that there are loopholes in the restrictions of this forbidden area."

Han Feng felt that there would be many restrictions if he wanted to exploit this loophole.

Moreover, it is highly likely that only the Purple Moon Sect possesses a special treasure that allows them to exploit the loophole and enter the forbidden area.

Otherwise, if the other two sects were able to enter, they would definitely send Foundation Establishment cultivators as well.

This isn't the first time this forbidden area trial has been opened; perhaps the Purple Moon Sect discovered it a long time ago.

They probably had their eyes on the alchemy room inside the cave long ago; it must contain extremely precious pills.

After learning about these things, Han Feng only had two choices in front of him.

First choice: Han Feng has already gained enough opportunities from the outside world.

If he doesn't go with the others to approach the alchemy room inside the cave, he should be able to leave alive.

The second option: Han Feng gave up other opportunities and entered the alchemy room from the start. It's uncertain whether he can snatch the prize from the jaws of death.

After all, the Purple Moon Sect went so far as to send a Foundation Establishment cultivator, which shows how tempting the treasures inside must be.
