Mythical Cultivation

As time went on, treasures were snatched away one by one by other cultivators or demonic beasts, and the number of combatants on the battlefield gradually dwindled. Many wisely withdrew from the battle after obtaining a treasure, knowing full well that greed often leads to bad consequences, and that only what was truly in their hands was truly reliable. In reality, most people maintained a clear mind.

Wu Ming and his three companions also noticed that the situation was becoming increasingly unfavorable for them, making it difficult to seize the treasure. So, they decisively decided to leave early. After all, the battlefield was now full of various factions, and it would be almost impossible for a few of them to take advantage of the situation alone. Rather than taking the risk, it was better to give up and look for the next opportunity. And so, Wu Ming and his companions quietly left the fierce battlefield.

They found a safe place and began to count their gains. They had taken five treasures, including two magical instruments, one top-grade and one mid-grade, an unknown elixir, a jade slip, and a talisman. Then there were the magical instruments and the contents of several cultivators' storage bags. They had already divided up the cultivators' belongings; after all, there wasn't anything particularly valuable in there. At most, there were one or two mid-grade magical instruments and a few hundred spirit stones.

As for the five treasures, everyone planned to estimate their prices after they left and then distribute them equally. After all, the quality of these treasures varied greatly, and their prices varied greatly. If they were to be distributed directly, it might cause some controversy and dissatisfaction.

Overall, however, the treasure hunt was a complete success. Despite the many twists and turns and difficulties along the way, the final number of treasures taken wasn't huge, but everyone got one, and there were even some left over. It's safe to say it's better than most, but better than most!

Compared to those powerful monks from larger sects with deep connections, the treasures we obtained were indeed insignificant; but compared to the many ordinary monks, even being able to obtain a treasure was already a blessing, and how could we dare to hope for more? Not to mention those monks who got nothing or even died on the spot.

Soon after they left, the treasure hunt came to an end. This operation had further reduced the number of cultivators, already reduced in their battles with the demonic beasts, to less than half their previous number. As expected, opportunities weren't easy to come by; only a combination of strength and luck could allow one to stand out among the many cultivators.

After a day of recuperation, Zhao Xiaohai and the other two were almost recovered from their injuries, and the four of them also recovered. They set out on a new journey.

Several people found that Huang Hao was far away from them. He had already gone deep into the center of the inner area of ​​the secret realm, while they had just entered the inner area not long ago. No wonder Huang Hao was unable to participate in this treasure hunt.

The heart of the Inner Realm is the dream of all cultivators who venture into the secret realm. The reason is simple: only here can the most rare and supreme opportunities be found. Legend has it that this place was once the foundation of a vast, ancient sect that dominated several counties. However, over the years, this sect vanished into the torrent of time.

This sect had long faded from people's memory. Who could have foreseen that, by chance, hundreds of years ago, a monk who stumbled into a secret realm would rediscover its mysteries? This lucky individual gained a remarkable opportunity, and after leaving the secret realm, he thoroughly read countless texts and finally gained a deep understanding of the sect's origins.

What was truly astonishing was that, in just a hundred years after leaving the secret realm, this person had transformed from a minor figure in the Qi Refining Stage to a Golden Core Stage ancestor! This extraordinary change of fate had drawn the admiration of countless people.

Since then, anyone who has had the opportunity to set foot in this secret realm has longed to obtain the opportunity left by this sect. Although only one person has been lucky enough to succeed in the next one or two hundred years, this has not prevented the successors from coveting this sect's treasure.

Wu Ming and his companions certainly wouldn't miss this opportunity. After all, compared to their previous treasure hunts, the difference between the two was like that between a sparrow and a swan—they weren't even on the same level! Even the most ignorant person could see this difference.

In the days that followed, the four of them continued their journey, scouring the road for resources. It must be said that this place was truly a secret place rarely visited! The resources contained within were far richer than those found outside!

Here, they saw many rare and even endangered spiritual flowers and herbs. These rare plants opened their eyes and greatly increased their wealth.

Not only that, there were also some extremely rare monsters that had disappeared for hundreds of years. Unfortunately, they didn't have the ability to control them. Otherwise, if they could capture a few rare monsters and bring them out, they would definitely earn a lot of spirit stones!

Of course, not everything on this road is a resource that they can take at will. There are also many dangers.

Once, when they were collecting spiritual herbs, they encountered a group of monsters. These monsters happened to be the guardians of the spiritual herbs.

This magical herb, known as Seven-Leaf Clover, only grows one leaf every ten years, and takes a full seventy years to fully mature. Its fruit possesses extremely high medicinal value and can be used to refine Pulse Protection Pills, which is one of the key factors contributing to the pill's high price.

Seven-leaf clover is not uncommon in the outside world, but mature seven-leaf clover is rare. This magical herb cannot be transplanted, and any attempt to transplant it will inevitably cause it to die. Therefore, it is only likely to be found in the wild.

However, due to its extremely long growth cycle and the fact that its leaves are a food source for many herbivorous monsters, it is rare to see seven-leaf clover that has grown to its full seven leaves. Consequently, its fruit has become extremely rare.

Therefore, the Pulse Protection Pill is extremely rare, even rarer than the Foundation Establishment Pill, so its price is also high. It is only because its efficacy is not as precious as the Foundation Establishment Pill that it has not been hyped up to a sky-high price.

As they made their way forward, Wu Ming and the other four unexpectedly came across a large field of seven-leaf clovers! They carefully counted them and discovered there were hundreds of them! However, most of these seven-leaf clovers hadn't yet grown to seven leaves. Overall, only about a dozen or so had reached the seven-leaf stage and were already bearing fruit.
