Generally speaking, this kind of restrictions are related to the environment. It doesn't make sense that there are so many people in the Lingji period and Jindan period in Wandu Mountain, and it's even more severe now, so only those below the level of consecration are allowed to enter!
The low-level cultivators in the cultivation world are the future of the entire continent. If we let these basic people die, wouldn’t that mean the inheritance will be cut off? That would be the end of the cultivation world, a catastrophe!
Therefore, Yang Lan'er and Fang Haofan felt heavy-hearted. Hang Ziyan was used to being heartless. Since Fang Haofan would help him deal with everything, he was too lazy to worry about it.
Of course, this heaviness quickly disappeared. Now that I had come in, I naturally had to take a look. Otherwise, it was still not too late to turn around and leave.
Yang Lan'er looked around and casually found a topic: "Speaking of which force are those people who didn't have any sect symbols but looked very powerful just now from?"
Fang Haofan glanced at Yang Lan'er, as if wondering why she didn't know: "He is an elder of the Loose Cultivator Alliance."
After confirming her thoughts, Yang Lan'er nodded. After all, she had never seen it before, so she had to confirm it.
The Loose Cultivator Alliance has no leader, it is an elder system, and there are no strict rules and regulations. It is definitely the freest organization.
Now, the elders of the Loose Cultivator Alliance have appeared to look after the interests of the loose cultivators, but they are unable to gain more for them.
All we can say is that the alliance guarantees that independent cultivators can enter the restricted area. As for whether they are used as cannon fodder by the sects, the alliance cannot do anything about it. After all, human nature is full of desire, and the alliance cannot forcibly control individual behavior.
The reason why we have to come out and make such a guarantee is that there have been cases of sects ostracizing us in the past. They have united to prevent independent cultivators from entering the secret realm. No matter how capable or lucky one is, one can only watch helplessly.
However, the sects later realized that the independent cultivators were just a bunch of loose sand. They might get a piece of the pie, but it would never be too much. There was really no need to come into direct conflict with the independent cultivator alliance.
In fact, the alliance of independent cultivators has the most experts on the mainland, but they lack a sense of collective honor and unity.
Not long after they walked, Yang Lan'er asked to act alone, as she was told that many of her methods could not be exposed in front of others. As for the relationship and tacit understanding between Fang Haofan and Hang Ziyan, it seemed inappropriate for her to interfere.
Fang Haofan and Hang Ziyan didn't say anything about this. After all, their relationship was not yet close enough.
However, Hang Ziyan expressed his concern and worry, gave Yang Lan'er some pills, and then they separated.
Looking at the pills in her hand, Yang Lan'er was at a loss whether to laugh or cry. Half of them were detoxification pills, almost all of which were bought by Hang Ziyan from her. This... felt so sad.
Feeling particularly like she was betraying a friend, Yang Lan'er remained silent for a moment and decided to find an opportunity to make it up to her in the future. After all, the fact that she was selling pills had to be kept secret for the time being.
However, before they parted, Yang Lan'er gave the set of barbecue utensils to Hang Ziyan, and he seemed to like it very much.
Although it is not difficult to make this world, even if Yang Lan'er is a novice in refining tools, it is no problem for her to refine a complete set of living utensils. Although it is not valuable, it is her intention, and Hang Ziyan is very happy.
"Fortunately, I prepared a few more sets, hehe..." Yang Lan'er smiled and chose a direction to enter.
There is a map of the outside of Wandu Mountain. The closer you get to inside, the fewer markings there are on the map.
Yang Lan'er didn't plan to go that deep, so she just wandered around the periphery, looking for some poisonous creatures to continue raising the Gu, and picking some elixirs and poisonous herbs.
At the beginning, when Yang Lan'er obtained the secret book of the Five Poison Sect, she was a little ambitious. After all, the earth lacked spiritual energy, but her space was full of spiritual energy, so she was quite interested in the Gu King mentioned in the records.
According to the secret manuals of the ancestors of the Five Poison Sect, this Gu King is a high-level spiritual beast, and he raised it himself. Both his loyalty and the compatibility between master and servant are perfect.
In today's world of cultivation, spiritual beasts have disappeared and are rarely seen.
According to the novel, during the great war on the continent, a powerful spirit beast created a new world for himself, fled into it with all the spirit beasts, and was never seen again.
Speaking of it, spiritual beasts and demon beasts are two different things. However, Yang Lan'er doesn't understand the difference. She just has a vague feeling that it has something to do with bloodline, intelligence, and blood inheritance.
But no matter what, Yang Lan'er is still very interested in the Gu King.
On Earth, the sources of poison are very limited, and particularly poisonous insects are hard to find, but here, you can only catch those that you are not strong enough to catch.
Yang Lan'er took two long chopsticks made from a shrub produced in Wandu Mountain and quickly picked up the lone poisonous insect she saw and put it into the jar.
These have very weak attack power for now and cannot be considered monsters, otherwise, how could they be trapped in ordinary jars?
After releasing the golden and silver snakes, Yang Lan'er said with a smile, "Go find some food. There are a lot of good things here. Remember to leave some alive for me. And don't go too far. There are too many people. If you get caught, you might get roasted and eaten."
The golden and silver snakes were obviously frightened. They took a step back, shook their heads vigorously, and then left carefully.
Yang Lan'er found it a little funny. Snakes do have a cunning nature. It all depends on how you use them.
However, she was not joking. Although the golden and silver snakes were fast, they were nothing in the eyes of cultivators. There were many ways to kill them.
Yang Lan'er was a little confused about the current situation of the golden and silver snakes. When she first met them, they seemed to be at the innate stage, but they reached the Qi Refining stage smoothly, and now both snakes have reached the fourth level of Qi Refining.
What she didn't understand was that most beasts had to go through a heavenly tribulation to evolve into demon beasts or spirit beasts. No matter how strong or weak they were, they had to go through it.
Only after successfully crossing it can one evolve completely.
Of course, there are unevolved Qi Refining stages, but it is definitely much more difficult to improve, and there are strong bottlenecks.
But all of this seems to not exist for the golden and silver snakes. Even without the heavenly calamity coming, the improvement in strength remains the same, with no blockage at all.
Touching her chin, Yang Lan'er was thoughtful. Could it be that the golden and silver twin snakes were really degenerated when they first met them? So now they only need to practice again, and there is no need for the heavenly tribulation at all? Smacking her lips, Yang Lan'er still maintained that thoughtful expression, raised her hand and pinched it, and a flying winged poisonous ladybug entered the jar. It seems that the twin snakes are not simple! I don't know what their strength was before? It should not be easy to fully recover.
After walking a few steps forward, Yang Lan'er scratched the ground, searched in the bushes, and even caught the occasional poisonous insect that flew by. After a while, she had a good harvest.
"The world of cultivation is different. Even ordinary insects are more poisonous and powerful. If they were placed on Earth, I'm afraid the entire ecosystem would suffer!" Yang Lan'er sighed. At the beginning, she could only find these low-level ones.
