When Ouyang Yanyu and the other two heard about the Soul Beast Tower, they were all delighted. Although cultivation was important, how could they not take advantage of such an opportunity as the Soul Beast Tower?
So, apart from Su Jiuli, who was diligently working outside to earn money, the other five members of the Tianling Sect all went to the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land between Cangxuan and Cangyin Continents.
The Forbidden Land of the Underworld is called a forbidden land because it is dangerous and full of ghosts.
Most of the ghosts inside are evil spirits. Although it is unclear how the Forbidden Land of the Underworld came about or whether it is related to the Ghost Realm, neither cultivators nor evil cultivators usually go there.
But this time is different. Because of the Soul Beast Tower, almost all cultivators under the age of thirty who believe they can survive the Soul Beast Tower have come, unless something special happens. It's like a pie falling from the sky; only a fool wouldn't take such an opportunity.
Of course, one must encounter such an opportunity and be alive to seize it. Not to mention that the Forbidden Land of the Underworld is full of ghosts, there are also said to be four ghost kings.
Moreover, the Soul Beast Tower is fraught with danger. Not to mention the powerful Soul Beasts themselves, the cultivators who also go there to compete for opportunities are in danger as well.
Ye Sisi didn't think too much about it. She just felt that staying cooped up in the sect was boring and wanted to go out for a walk. After all, she had been under a lot of pressure, and her little shoulders needed to relax.
When the five arrived at the Forbidden Land of the Underworld in their flying boat, a considerable number of people had already gathered there.
Sects, aristocratic families, and independent cultivators were all present, but it seemed that no one went inside. There were even quite a few cultivators setting up stalls by the roadside.
Bai Luochen looked at the cultivators surrounding the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land and asked curiously, "Didn't they say the Soul Beast Tower appeared a couple of days ago? Why aren't they going in?"
Ye Sisi reached out and patted his shoulder, earnestly saying, "Fifth Senior Brother, you should read more books when you have time. You've lived in Cangjing for more than ten years longer than me, so how could you not know what I know?"
Bai Luochen slapped her hand away and pouted, "Do you think everyone is like you, able to remember everything they read?"
Lin Shuanglu explained: "Didn't you notice? Most of those who stayed to set up stalls were Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators. There are also many low-level cultivators among the disciples of sects and aristocratic families. The ghost energy in the Yellow Springs Forbidden Land is too dense, and there are evil ghosts and fierce ghosts everywhere. If they want to go in, they can only wait until noon when the yang energy is strongest, which will greatly reduce the risk. Moreover, the location of the Soul Beast Tower is unpredictable, so even if they risk going in, they may not be able to encounter it."
Bai Luochen pointed at the cultivators dressed in the Lotus Sword Sect robes and said, "But they have Nascent Soul cultivators leading the way, so why do they have to wait outside? And if they only go in for a short while each day, wouldn't the chances of encountering the Soul Beast Tower be even lower?"
Even Ouyang Yanyu couldn't help but glance at her junior brother and said, "Low-level cultivators can't withstand the erosion of ghost energy and evil energy. Besides, life is always more important than opportunity."
Bai Luochen regretted asking the question as soon as he finished. How could he have forgotten about this? Sigh, it's good to have high cultivation; someone like him doesn't have this problem.
If Ye Sisi knew what he was thinking, she probably wouldn't be able to resist slapping him. Of course, she would slap him on behalf of those with low cultivation levels, because they're so annoying.
The five people disembarked from the flying boat while talking. The rogue cultivator who was setting up a stall only glanced at them before lowering his head and ignoring them.
Judging from their clothes alone, this group of people are no ordinary folks. They certainly wouldn't be interested in the Spirit-Nourishing Pills, Vitality-Boosting Pills, Mind-Clearing Pills, and Detoxifying Pills they sell, so there's no need to waste words on them.
Ye Sisi and the others indeed wouldn't buy any pills, since they had an alchemist among them. But if they didn't buy pills, they could buy other things.
For example, Ye Sisi and Ye Shubai were very interested in a broken array plate on the stall in front of them.
She picked up the array plate and asked the stall owner, "How much is this?"
Although the array plate is damaged, the array patterns alone tell it's no ordinary array. With a little thought, perhaps we can restore it to its original form.
The stall owner was a young man in his twenties. He glanced at it and held up one finger, saying, "Ten spirit stones."
Ye Sisi didn't haggle; the price was fair enough. So she readily paid and asked, "Fellow Daoist, where did you get this array plate?"
Seeing her straightforwardness, the young man didn't hesitate to say more: "I picked it up on the road when I entered the forbidden land of the Yellow Springs yesterday."
Ye Sisi glanced at his cultivation level; he was already at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm. However, his face was somewhat pale, suggesting that he had been injured and had come out to rest after entering.
The young man glanced at Ye Sisi, who was staring at him, and waved his hand lazily: "Are you still going to buy it or not? If not, then hurry up and leave."
Ye Sisi didn't ask any more questions upon seeing this, and turned around and walked towards the Forbidden Land of the Yellow Springs with Lin Shuangluo and the others.
The barrier outside the forbidden area only prevents the ghosts inside from coming out; people outside can come and go as they please.
Surprisingly, there are quite a few familiar faces here. Yun Hanzhi from Canglan Sect, Ning Fan and Shui Yao from Lanhua Heavenly Palace, Ning Yun and Song Que from Qingyun Sect, and others I've dealt with before are all here. I just didn't see Lu Xingchen. Could it be that he didn't come?
Ye Sisi simply smiled and greeted them before entering the Forbidden Land of the Underworld with her senior brothers and sisters.
It was already evening, and the sky was already somewhat dark. It was alright outside, but inside the forbidden area, although it wasn't pitch black, it wasn't far off.
Ye Sisi sensed the surrounding aura. The yin energy, evil energy, and ghost energy were indeed very strong. Cultivators below the Golden Core stage would probably not be able to stay for long before their minds were affected and their bodies were damaged.
Before long, several ghosts swayed up to them. These ghosts didn't care about their cultivation level; they bared their claws and pounced on them, looking quite unintelligent.
Ye Sisi didn't hold back either; the kid with only Foundation Establishment cultivation was dealt with in two punches.
