Rong Zi leisurely sat down on a stone chair to the side and said something in a meaningful tone.
"The difficulty of conquering the Demon Clan's forbidden area is determined by the cultivator's cultivation level, and your master is at the Qi Refining stage."
In one sentence, all the apprentices understood.
This challenge method is practically tailor-made for their master!
His master was indeed at the Qi Refining stage.
But at that time, she was a Qi Refining stage cultivator whose strength was comparable to that of a Nascent Soul stage cultivator.
With the strength of the Nascent Soul stage, breaking through the ordinary Qi Refining stage's level would be a piece of cake, a complete slaughter.
Rong Zi continued, "As for why the rewards for conquering the Demon Clan's forbidden area are so generous, Dan Dan and I speculated about it afterward and figured that these rewards must belong to all the Demon Clan's past conquerors."
The apprentices were puzzled, "Those who have challenged the level in previous generations?"
Rong Zi nodded and explained to them.
"Yes, the Demon Forbidden Land wasn't originally a forbidden land. It was a training ground for demons, but because the difficulty of the trials was so extreme that too many demon geniuses who tried to challenge it perished, it was designated as a forbidden land."
"After being designated a forbidden area, that place became a place used by the demons to punish sinners. Those who committed heinous crimes would be thrown in and left to fend for themselves."
The apprentices only partially understood what they heard.
Yun Jing asked, "But what does all this have to do with how generous the rewards are for clearing the Demon Clan's forbidden area?"
Rong Zi poured herself a glass of water, took a sip, and then answered.
"Because all those who failed to pass the test ultimately became nutrients for the forbidden area, and their treasures were naturally confiscated."
Throughout history, how many prodigies have perished in the forbidden lands of the demon race?
Each of them must have some treasures, more or less, right?
Tens of thousands of years.
Over time, the sheer size of it becomes unimaginable.
Unexpectedly, the origins of these treasures were revealed in such a way, leaving the apprentices speechless.
If the demons knew...
Humans entered their forbidden territory, passed through all the checkpoints without a word, and emptied the treasures within.
In the end, he escaped unscathed from the forbidden area.
I wonder if she'll cry herself to death?
Yun Jing noticed the plain water in Rong Zi's cup and tilted his head to ask, "Master, why are you drinking plain water? What about the honey from those giant wasps we got in the Monster Forest?"
His master has always been the one who knows how to enjoy life the most.
They usually eat delicious monster meat imbued with spiritual energy, and drink rich, sweet, and spiritually rich giant bumblebee honey tea.
He remembered that he and his master had completely emptied the giant hornet's nest.
The honey they got was enough for them to drink for several years.
Why has Master suddenly switched from drinking honey tea to drinking plain water?
Rong Zi spread his hands, "That's all."
Yun Jing was taken aback. "Gone?"
How could it just disappear?
Rong Zi sighed, clutching his chest with a pained expression.
“I stayed in the Yin-Yang Twin Pole Cave for more than six years. I drank all the honey I had long ago.”
"Not only did I finish the honey, but I also ate all the monster meat I had saved up. All the spirit stones I had stored up, as well as all the various spiritual plants and treasures, were used up while I was cultivating."
As Rong Zi spoke, he pointed to the small hill in front of him.
"Now I have absolutely nothing left except these demonic artifacts."
In other words, she is now penniless.
They were as poor as they could possibly be.
Yun Jing: "..."
The other disciples: "..."
They wondered why their master had been eating at inns and restaurants the whole way back to the sect, and had never paid the bill himself.
So they've become poor again.
Fortunately, Yun Jing had spirit stones.
Throughout the journey, he, as the senior disciple, paid for everything.
While in the Soul Cave, Rong Zi gave all the spirit stones she had earned from others to Yun Jing.
Although he can't compare to Qi Yufei, he's now considered somewhat wealthy.
Rong Zi seemed to suddenly remember something, and clapped his hands, saying, "Oh right, I almost forgot. Strictly speaking, I'm not exactly penniless. I still have this."
As soon as she finished speaking, she took out the Ghost Yin Stone from the Primordial Ring.
Upon seeing the Ghost Yin Stone, Yun Jing was slightly taken aback.
"Ghost Yin Stone?"
Rong Zi shoved the Ghost Yin Stone into his hand and said, "Here, take this. I don't care what method you use, just refine and absorb it as quickly as possible."
The moment Yun Jing grasped the Ghost Yin Stone, its Yin energy surged, and the entire stone seemed to exude a chilling aura.
Yun Jing looked down at the Ghost Yin Stone in his hand and asked in surprise, "You absorbed it?"
How do I absorb this stuff?
Rong Zi reached out and ruffled Yun Jing's hair.
"Well, you might not be able to do it with your current strength, but don't worry, take it slow. Try to absorb it little by little each time you cultivate, just like when you absorb spiritual energy. As long as you persevere, you will be able to absorb it completely one day."
Gu Xiaochui looked at the pitch-black Ghost Yin Stone, feeling a little uneasy.
"But Master, can people really absorb this directly?"
The stone was shrouded in a black aura, and it didn't look like anything good.
It was even more chilling than Ling Mo's demonic energy.
If a person absorbs it directly, will there really be any problems?
Rong Zi replied, "Of course it won't work for ordinary people, but your senior brother is no ordinary person. He is a person with the Yin body. If used properly, the Ghost Yin Stone will definitely be of great use to his cultivation."
