Chapter 169

"The contribution points for this medicine will be calculated after returning."

Lishui and Lisa nodded and recorded what Jiang Yan said.

On Keqing's side, she also carefully collected it into a jade bottle.

Ganyu looked at the Star Spirit Grass with nostalgia, but thinking that this thing is still common, there will always be a chance to taste it.

Simply, she withdrew her gaze, walked to Jiang Yan's side, and said softly:

"Sect Leader, where are we roughly located now? Where should we go next?"

Hearing this, Jiang Yan shook his head with a smile.

"If you want to know the specific location, I can tell you, but as for where to go..."

"You decide for yourselves. This is your trial. I will only provide some information, and will not make decisions for you."

"As for this place, it is the southern border of the Northern Land Wilderness of the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"Going further north from the Northern Land Wilderness is the extreme cold frozen soil, going east is the sea, and the extreme west is the desert."

"The southern position, strictly speaking, is the most central area of the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range."

These place names made everyone feel a bit confused.

Only the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range in the central area...

This name sounds dangerous just by hearing it.

But even if they know the name now...

They don't know how to choose.

Jiang Yan also saw everyone's trouble, pondered for a moment, and continued:

"Each region of the Nine Nether Secret Realm has special resources. Taking the extreme cold frozen soil as an example, there are spirit herbs suitable for growing in extreme cold regions."

"There are many mineral resources and spirit materials in the extreme west."

"There are also many spirit herbs in the ocean that only grow in the sea."

"In general, each region naturally has resources that can make you have a bumper harvest."

As soon as the words fell, Ningguang asked the most critical question.

"Sect Leader, what about the dangers of each region? Which region is relatively safe?"

"Safe?"

Jiang Yan chuckled, shook his head and said:

"In the Nine Nether Secret Realm, there is no absolute safety. Even if there are no demonic beasts in the location you are currently in, it is only temporary."

"This is a paradise for demonic beasts and a forbidden land for humans."

"Every region has great demons at the Refining Qi into Spirit stage, and even the central region is basically the sphere of influence of demon kings."

"Of course, the closer you go to the central area, the richer the corresponding resources will be. Besides that..."

"If you can kill great demons and demon kings, these existences naturally have their own foundation, and they also have many treasures."

"Those great demons have hunted many human cultivators in the past. No one is sure how many magic treasures and cultivation techniques they have."

"This is also a good way for you to instantly obtain more resources when exploring the Nine Nether Secret Realm."

"In addition, there are the bodies, blood, inner cores, etc., of the demonic beasts themselves. These are the materials that cultivators value most."

"Whether it is alchemy or tool refining, demonic beasts are one of the best sources of materials."

"The most important ingredient for many high-grade pills and magic treasures is the material from powerful demonic beasts."

Hearing this, everyone felt somewhat complicated.

Jiang Yan spoke lightly, but those few words revealed the cruel fact of the struggle between humans and demons in the cultivation world.

Between cultivators and demonic beasts, there seems to be a cruel food chain, destined to fight endlessly, with no possibility of peaceful coexistence.

And they are about to embark on this path. Perhaps they will kill a large number of demonic beasts.

From them, they will get the gifts of the predecessors who died in the hands of demonic beasts, and get the materials of the demonic beasts.

Perhaps one day they will die in the hands of demonic beasts, and then wait for the younger generation of cultivators to kill the demonic beasts and take away their last relics.

This is an infinite cycle of death that no one can escape.

Zhongli and the others cannot resist this cycle; they are just the most insignificant lower-level cultivators in the cultivation world.

It's better not to have this kind of thought.

Instead of thinking about these useless things, it's better to think about how to kill these demonic beasts, obtain more resource exchanges, and obtain contribution points.

The current problem is that although the things obtained in each region are different, the value is similar.

If it were other cultivators, perhaps they would care more about cultivation techniques, magic treasures, etc., that could be searched from this secret realm than sect contribution points.

But for the current crowd, the priority of contribution points is higher than everything else.

Their strength is still a bit weak at present. Even if they get something, they probably won't be able to use it.

By comparison, it is most appropriate to exchange points for things in the Merit Hall.

The pills and magic treasures in there are the treasures most suitable for their current stage.

Therefore, if contribution points are the primary goal, it seems that there is little difference in where to explore.

The only thing to care about is the safety of the target area.

Only in places that are safer to explore will more resources be harvested.

Thinking this through, everyone suddenly understood how to choose a location.

Ningguang raised her head and looked at Jiang Yan's projection with bright eyes.

"Sect Leader, can the information about the powerful demonic beast forces in each region be told?"

Jiang Yan looked at Ningguang calmly for a moment, then the corners of his mouth rose, and he smiled:

"Naturally."

"But it is a pity that there is no region that is safe."

105. The extremely dangerous Nine Nether Secret Realm, a forbidden zone of life?

"In the current Northern Land Wilderness, although you haven't encountered any demonic beasts yet."

"But according to the information I have, the Northern Land Wilderness is ruled by the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan."

"The Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan has a huge number. Except for the wolf cubs just born, as long as they are adults, they have at least the cultivation level of the early stage of Refining Essence into Qi."

"The Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan is vengeful. If the number is huge, it is definitely the most troublesome demonic beast group in the cultivation world."

"The Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan in the Northern Land Wilderness is conservatively estimated to have thousands of heads, which means at least thousands of powerhouses with Refining Essence into Qi cultivation."

"The patriarch of the Howling Moon Sky Wolf clan in the Northern Land Wilderness, Howling Moon, is a genuine peak Refining Qi into Spirit cultivation level."

"How many great demons with Refining Qi into Spirit cultivation are under his command is temporarily unknown, but it is definitely not zero."

Jiang Yan calmly stated the situation in the Northern Land Wilderness, and everyone suddenly felt like they were on pins and needles.

The Northern Land Wilderness, which originally felt relatively safe, suddenly became a place of burial.

The option of the Northern Land Wilderness was instantly crossed out by everyone.

It would be fine if it were just a demon king at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit.

As long as you hide a bit, you actually have a chance to fish in troubled waters.

But if it is a demon king at the peak of Refining Qi into Spirit, with many great demons at the Refining Qi into Spirit level following him.

Plus thousands of demonic beast groups.

It would be fine if they weren't discovered.

Once discovered, there is basically no accident in the result.

Even if discovered by an inconspicuous Howling Moon Sky Wolf at the Refining Essence into Qi stage.

It can basically be declared that this exploration of the Nine Nether Secret Realm is over.

A demon king with a group is the enemy everyone least wants to deal with.

Not to mention not being able to beat the demon king, once the war starts, they probably won't talk about any morality with them.

They can gang up, never fight one-on-one.

Asking themselves, if it were them, they would also make such a choice.

Northern Land Wilderness, cross it out!

Even the extreme cold frozen soil north of the Northern Land Wilderness is removed.

Going anywhere else probably means crossing the Northern Land Wilderness, which is not something they can do now.

"Sect Leader, what about the extreme west?"
