As long as Han Feng's cultivation level is tested in the forbidden area and he breaks through to the eighth level of the Qi Refining stage, he will be able to preserve his cultivation.
Taking spiritual herbs and medicines without refining them is not only difficult for the body to tolerate, but also makes it difficult to absorb their medicinal properties.
To completely evade Mo Lianyu's pursuit, his most crucial task was to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage.
Otherwise, even if Han Feng returned from the forbidden area trial, it would be difficult for him to survive Mo Lianyu's clutches.
After some consideration, Han Feng decided to take the second approach.
Only by continuously transforming the spiritual herbs and medicines from the forbidden area into elixirs can his cultivation level be further improved.
Yellow Maple Valley is a medium-sized sect, and it has a medicine refining hall inside.
Han Feng inquired around inside and learned that alchemy requires a prescription and an alchemy cauldron.
The prescription requires purchasing a copy of "The Complete Collection of Basic Low-Level Alchemy," which contains many prescriptions, such as the Spirit Gathering Pill and the Spirit Recovery Pill, which are pills for the Qi Refining stage.
Han Feng was quite satisfied with this; he only needed a low-level spirit stone to exchange for it.
The alchemy cauldron is also essential for alchemy, requiring three spirit stones, for a total of four low-grade spirit stones.
Han Feng reluctantly paid four low-level spirit stones to acquire the "Complete Collection of Basic Low-Level Alchemy" and the alchemy cauldron.
He returned to his wooden hut with only three low-level spirit stones, enough for three life simulations.
Han Feng didn't rush to learn; instead, he used a life simulator to learn how to refine pills.
[Consuming one low-level spirit stone to begin a new life simulation.]
[After a month, you have spent all your time in Yellow Maple Valley studying the "Complete Collection of Basic Low-Level Elixirs," and have mastered the basic principles.]
Two months later, you spent a low-level spirit stone to obtain the materials for three Spirit Gathering Pills.
You succeeded in refining pills once out of three attempts, successfully creating one Spirit Gathering Pill. You then exchanged it for five sets of Spirit Gathering Pill ingredients.
Three months later, you will have a great talent for alchemy. Your success rate in refining Spirit Gathering Pills will be as high as 80%, and you will have reached the entry level.
An elder from the outer sect saw that the alchemy was quite good and took a liking to the talent.
Unfortunately, your aptitude is too poor; he didn't take you as his apprentice.
Four months later, Huangfeng Valley and two other sects sealed off a forbidden area containing a large number of rare and precious materials.
However, only disciples with the cultivation level of Qi Refining can enter, while Huangfeng Valley requires disciples with a cultivation level of Qi Refining Stage 6 or above to enter.
You only revealed your cultivation level at the sixth level of Qi Refining, and successfully gained the qualification to enter the forbidden area for the trial.
Four months and one day later, Mo Lianyu learned that your cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, which greatly increased his suspicion of you.
Mo Lianyu suspects that you are the one who killed Mo Cheng, and has asked you to come over for a talk many times, but you have refused every time.
With the forbidden area trial imminent, there's nothing he can do.
Eight months later, led by the outer elders of Huangfeng Valley, you and hundreds of Huangfeng Valley disciples entered the forbidden area.
As soon as you entered the forbidden area, a small blue snake lunged at your neck.
You had anticipated this, and with a single sword stroke, you killed the small blue snake.
The Yellow Maple Valley disciple beside you wasn't so lucky; he was bitten by a small blue snake and died from the poison shortly afterward.
Nine months later, you had collected many spiritual herbs and medicines, and found a secluded place to begin refining pills.
Ten months later, you successfully refined ten Spirit Restoration Pills and twenty Spirit Gathering Pills. You then stopped cultivating and began to break through to a higher realm.
[A year later, you consumed the pills you had refined, and your cultivation broke through to the late stage of the seventh level of Qi Refining.]
One year and one month later, you were ambushed by three fellow disciples from the same sect. All three disciples of Huangfeng Valley 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 escaped their encirclement wounded.
You found a secluded spot to recuperate, refusing to seek opportunities in forbidden areas.
A year and a half later, the forbidden area trial was over, and you were teleported out of the forbidden area. Most of the spiritual herbs and medicines you collected were used to refine pills.
Compared to others, the amount of spiritual herbs and medicines you submitted was pitifully small, earning you only a few low-level spirit stones as a reward.
You had barely returned to the sect when Mo Lianyu came knocking and killed you without a word.
[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.
Han Feng kept option 1, retaining the alchemy skill in the life simulation.
His mind was suddenly filled with a lot of new knowledge, which was about alchemy.
This life simulation not only taught him alchemy, but also showed him the duration of the forbidden area trial, which was approximately twelve months.
The timeframe is quite long, and if Han Feng can make good use of it, his cultivation level can be greatly improved.
He also noticed a detail: the spiritual herbs and medicines he had acquired.
After emerging from the forbidden area trial, they will be counted.
The more spiritual herbs and medicines you obtain during the Trials in the Forbidden Zones, the greater the rewards you will receive.
Gaining the favor of the sect elders might make Mo Lianyu hesitate to act rashly, which is also a good method.
[Consuming one low-level spirit stone to begin a new life simulation.]
[One month later, you exchanged one low-grade spirit stone for three Spirit Gathering Pills, successfully refined two Spirit Gathering Pills, kept one Spirit Gathering Pill, and used the other to exchange for Spirit Gathering Pill ingredients.]
Three months later, you have saved thirty Spirit Gathering Pills and ten Spirit Recovery Pills through alchemy. You decide to stop alchemy and use all your resources for cultivation.
