the Five Dragons Island Sea Region indeed wasn’t a place to linger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the Demon Beast Abyss was always like that, the recent death of Long Changfeng, with the Tier Three Green Crocodile Turtle materials in hand, was a hot potato for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they weren’t careful, they could end up under the Long Family’s scrutiny, which would be dangerous for small figures like them; a change of place was wise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As Old Hu said, it’s time to prepare to leave, but before that, attending the Five Dragons Island gathering is necessary.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The auction there was rumored to have various pill formulas, especially the Crystal Condensing Pill formula, which he found irresistible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Usually, such high-level pill formulas are treasures of major families and sects, requiring a steep price to obtain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that they could be bought with Spirit Stones, he didn’t want to miss the opportunity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Something seems to be happening at this Five Dragons Island gathering!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recalling Yun Yao’s previous warning, Lin Chang’an pondered quietly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Five Dragons Island gathering was held under the pretense of celebrating the Bihai Palace Masters’ birthdays, featuring three auctions during the event.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One auction every three months, spanning a total of nine months.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Besides, even if we want to leave, we must head to Five Dragons Island to board a large spirit ship to depart.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Beast Abyss was vast, with great distances between sea regions; traveling alone was too dangerous unless one was a Core Formation Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the journey, sea beasts and birds of prey always watched for food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention the unpredictable sea weather; being caught in a gale would be a headache even for a Core Formation Cultivator.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, long-distance travel meant a cultivator’s mana was hard to replenish, greatly reducing their ability to withstand external risks when exhausted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Among those prowling the sea borders were Tribulation Cultivators, villains, and wanted criminals with Core Formation Cultivators leading robberies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Core Formation Cultivators typically travel by spirit ship or in groups when facing ocean-spanning journeys.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, the Five Dragons Island gathering had the Fake Pill Cultivator’s trade fair, an excellent opportunity to exchange for wood attribute demon pills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In other words, no matter what, we must go to Five Dragons Island.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Hu Jin considered leaving, Lin Chang’an pondered;
