151: Attribute points broke through 10,000 again, explore the restricted area!
Quickly finishing off Luo Chuan and Jiang Liu, Mo Fan used Wind Manipulation, his figure moving like lightning as he left the scene.
This time, he controlled his strength well.
Unfortunately, the strength of Luo Chuan and Jiang Liu was a level lower, and they did not have a Spatial Storage Device on them.
In fact, Spatial Storage Devices are very rare.
Except for Core Disciples, who can each have a Spatial Storage Device, only a handful of ordinary Inner Sect Disciples possess one.
"So poor!"
Mo Fan looked at the two Brocade Pouches lying in his hand and looked at the sky speechlessly.
Without a Spatial Storage Device, the things one can carry are very limited.
The only valuable things on the two of them were these two Brocade Pouches containing Spirit Stones.
Focusing his mind, Mo Fan cast an Appraisal Technique on each of the two Brocade Pouches.
A deep blue virtual light panel flashed, and a prompt box popped up.
γ Found Low-Grade Spirit Stone * 222, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points, absorb? γ
γ Found Low-Grade Spirit Stone * 323, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points, absorb? γ
"Damn, two poor ghosts!"
Mo Fan wanted to hit someone.
He didn't rush to absorb them, but instead set aside 45 Spirit Stones and chose to absorb the remaining 500.
With a swoosh, the deep blue virtual light panel flashed again, the Spirit Stones vanished in an instant, and Mo Fan's attribute information changed quietly.
γ Name: Mo Fan γ
γ Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Seventh Level (+) γ
γ ... γ (Click to expand/collapse)
γ Available attribute points: 600 γ
The attribute points rose from the original 100 to the current 600.
"Absorbing Spirit Stones is really tiringβ"
Mo Fan muttered to himself.
After absorbing low grade origin stones several times, absorbing Spirit Stones felt a bit different.
A pile of Spirit Stones only converted into such a small amount of available attribute points; it was too weak.
After absorbing the 500 Spirit Stones, Mo Fan put the remaining 45 Spirit Stones into the system space as reserve Spirit Stones.
Excluding the low grade origin stones gifted by Yang Yi and Wang Yang, Mo Fan had previously consumed 36 Spirit Stones exchanging for low grade origin stones with others.
Now replenishing 45 more, Mo Fan's reserve Spirit Stones reached 169.
"Not bad, with these reserve Spirit Stones, I can exchange for low grade origin stones with others again."
Thinking of this, Mo Fan smiled.
Although he swept through the area, to keep his distance from Yang Yi, there were still many areas he hadn't covered.
People who came in later would naturally also find many good things, and could collect some low grade origin stones and the like.
Now this area belongs to the Outer City, there aren't many real good things, and occasionally finding a super-class Cultivation Technique or Martial Skill is considered a big profit.
Of course, Mo Fan was not interested in these; he only wanted to exchange for the low grade origin stones in other people's hands.
One low grade origin stone is one hundred attribute points; absorbing them is just too satisfying!
While thinking, Mo Fan released his Mental Energy to perceive the surroundings.
A moment later, he used Wind Manipulation and swept quickly in one direction.
He wanted to temporarily regroup with the main force.
Besides exchanging for low grade origin stones, there were other reasons.
After all, his cultivation level had increased too much, and he could imagine how the Red-Clothed Female Ghost would torment him in the coming days.
In this state, Mo Fan would lack energy, so having some support would be nice.
After practicing in the dream with the Red-Clothed Female Ghost for a few days, letting his cultivation solidify, his combat power catch up to his Realm, and his Mental Energy stabilize, it wouldn't be too late to look for the Forbidden Zone.
Before long, Mo Fan saw the main force.
After the terrifying incident at the city gate, everyone began to unite, working together with a division of labor, keeping in constant contact, and efficiently exploring various areas.
Mo Fan quickly found Gu Shuiyue.
"Junior Brother, where did you go? I haven't seen you along the way." Gu Shuiyue looked at Mo Fan with some concern.
"I came in first and went to pick up some Opportunities along the way." Mo Fan said with a smile.
"I see, it seems Junior Brother has gained quite a bit!" Gu Shuiyue smiled slightly and didn't ask further.
Before long, Wang Yang also walked over.
"Junior Brother Mo, you're finally back!" Seeing Mo Fan, Wang Yang was full of joy.
"This time it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't opened the city gate at the critical moment, we might have been wiped out!"
Speaking of this, Wang Yang still had lingering fears.
At that time, spirits with terrifying strength surrounded them, not afraid of the Array Patterns or flames; it was truly too scary!
"I was just doing it for myself." Mo Fan smiled and didn't say more.
"Regardless, everyone should thank you!"
As he said this, Wang Yang took out three low grade origin stones from his Spatial Storage Device and handed them to Mo Fan.
Before Mo Fan could refuse, Wang Yang immediately said:
"Junior Brother Mo, these three low grade origin stones are for you. Although I don't know why you are collecting them, I can tell you are very serious about it!"
"Don't be polite with me, and don't give me any Spirit Stones or anything. After all, you saved my life. If you have any needs, just tell me, and I definitely won't refuse if I can do it!"
Hearing this, Mo Fan didn't stand on ceremony anymore, took the low grade origin stones from Wang Yang's hand, and put them into his system space for temporary storage.
At the same time, people arrived one after another.
They had been in the city for a few hours.
Everyone was not weak, and with a division of labor, they had already explored every street and every house thoroughly, not missing any good things.
Those with good luck gained super-class Cultivation Techniques and Martial Skills.
Those with slightly worse luck also obtained some usable divine weapons, Medicinal Pills, various precious Materials, etc.
Soon, except for Yang Yi and the others who "acted on their own," everyone else had arrived.
Everyone shared information and formulated corresponding countermeasures.
Finally, Wang Yang stood up to summarize.
"As far as the Outer City is concerned, all the areas without danger have been explored."
"According to past experience, the remaining few areas all have certain dangers. Rushing in is likely to lead to accidents, so we need everyone to work together."
"For the Outer City, Fengyun Tower, Water-Bathing Immortal Pool, and Vientiane City are less dangerous, and the gains are considerable, so they can be explored first."
"The rest will be decided based on the situation."
"As for the Inner City, it belongs to the Forbidden Zone, full of dangers. If you go in, you are unlikely to come out."
"In the past, very few people would go into the Inner City to explore."
"Now that the Secret Realm has undergone some changes, for the sake of safety, I suggest that everyone should not mess with the Inner City."
Hearing this, everyone nodded in deep agreement.
After pondering for a moment, Wang Yang continued:
"It is rumored that someone once obtained a Peerless Secret Chapter in Fengyun Tower, and after going out, their cultivation improved rapidly, and they entered the Heavenly Destiny Realm before long."
"It is rumored that someone obtained a Divine Pill in Vientiane City, which directly changed their fate, making them a peerless Prodigy who suppressed an era."
"Of course, these are low-probability events."
"Although every time we enter the Secret Realm, new Opportunities appear."
"But this level of Opportunity may not appear even once in a hundred years."
"Moreover, both Vientiane City and Fengyun Tower carry certain risks, and many people have coveted the Opportunities and died there."
Speaking of this, Wang Yang focused his mind and continued:
"Therefore, I suggest going to the relatively safe Water-Bathing Immortal Pool, where there is an Immortal Pool with spiritual energy concentration far exceeding the outside world."
"We can stay inside and Cultivate to improve our cultivation."
"With the terrifying spiritual energy concentration of the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool, as long as we work hard to Cultivate, we might be able to improve by two or three small Realms before leaving the Secret Realm."
"Once everyone's cultivation has improved, we can finally spend a day or two going to Vientiane City and Fengyun Tower to take a look."
"If the danger level is not high, we will consider whether to go in and explore."
After speaking, Wang Yang looked at everyone: "What do you think?"
"We listen to Senior Brother Wang!"
"We listen to Senior Brother Wang!"
"Let's go to the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool!"
Wang Yang was the strongest present, and his suggestion was reasonable, so naturally, no one had any objections.
"Good, then let's head to the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool now!" Wang Yang waved his hand and pointed in the direction of the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool.
Seeming to notice that Mo Fan had limited information, Wang Yang introduced it to Mo Fan while walking.
"Although the Secret Realm is a dead city, some important areas still have guards similar to spirits."
Smiling, Wang Yang continued:
"We are lucky this time. Although a large number of mid-level spirits appeared outside the city."
"But there hasn't been much change in the city so far. The only danger is the guards at those few important places."
"Of course, perhaps the strength of these guards has also increased."
"But with so many of us working together, it shouldn't be a big problem to take down the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool."
Hearing this, Mo Fan nodded thoughtfully.
The group walked in unison toward the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool in the west of the city.
On the way, Wang Yang took the Opportunity to make up a random reason and mentioned to everyone that Mo Fan was collecting low grade origin stones to do some research on Magic Arrays.
The Disciples were also grateful to Mo Fan, so they took out the low grade origin stones they had collected and gave them to him, refusing to accept any payment.
Mo Fan had no choice but to accept the free low grade origin stones.
After one wave, the low grade origin stones in his hand broke a hundred again.
Mo Fan focused his mind and cast an Appraisal Technique into the system space.
The deep blue virtual light panel flashed, and a prompt box popped up instantly.
γ Found low grade origin stone * 105, can be absorbed and converted into attribute points, absorb? γ
Mo Fan did not hesitate and immediately chose to absorb.
With a swoosh, the low grade origin stones vanished in an instant, and Mo Fan's attribute information popped up automatically.
γ Name: Mo Fan γ
γ Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Seventh Level (+) γ
γ ... γ (Click to expand/collapse)
γ Available attribute points: 11100 γ
Available attribute points broke ten thousand again!
Quickly glancing at his attribute information, Mo Fan almost laughed out loud.
There really is a big Opportunity inside the Secret Realm!
Staying in the Secret Realm for two months, he might easily advance to the Transcendent Realm!
Thinking of this, Mo Fan couldn't help but feel a little fortunate.
"My choice was indeed correct. After reaching Foundation Establishment, I immediately applied to enter the Trial Tower and successfully promoted to Core Disciple."
"If not for that, I don't know how long I would have had to wait for an Opportunity like entering the Secret Realm..."
Mo Fan was glad that he chose to rise strongly after Foundation Establishment and didn't continue to keep a low profile.
Otherwise, by normally earning Spirit Stones to improve his cultivation, it would probably take two or three years to advance to the Transcendent Realm.
However, soon, Mo Fan seemed to have thought of something and frowned slightly.
He focused his mind again and locked his gaze on the plus sign behind the Cultivation column.
"How many attribute points are needed for the next upgrade?"
With a swoosh, the prompt box popped up quickly.
γ Cultivation: Foundation Establishment Seventh Level (+) (11100 / 7500) γ
Mo Fan: "???"
Looking at this result, Mo Fan's face darkened instantly.
"This increase is too outrageous. If there are no low grade origin stones in the future, how am I supposed to upgrade?"
Mo Fan looked at the gray sky with a hopeless expression, feeling that his evolutionary path was somewhat tortuous.
"Junior Brother, what's wrong? Why are you suddenly unhappy?" Gu Shuiyue looked at Mo Fan in surprise.
"It's nothing, I just thought of some unhappy things." Mo Fan shook his head.
"Sigh, don't think about unhappy things. What's past is past, no matter how much you think about it, you can't change it!"
"There's even less need to worry about the future. When the cart reaches the mountain, there will be a way; when the boat reaches the bridge, it will naturally go straight!"
"So, we just need to take good care of the present!"
"Thank you, Senior Sister, I understand!" Mo Fan nodded, feeling that Gu Shuiyue was right.
That's right, just take care of the present!
Strive to scrape all the low grade origin stones in the Secret Realm clean within two months!
Heading west, the group soon arrived at the so-called Water-Bathing Immortal Pool.
"We're here, this is the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool. As long as we defeat the guards inside, we can practice here!"
Wang Yang pointed to a simple, ancient building in front and said loudly.
Mo Fan looked in the direction of the voice and saw a slightly yellowed plaque above the building, and his face couldn't help but darken.
The characters carved in a flying dragon and phoenix style on the plaque belonged to the same system as the characters on the stone tablet in the backyard of the Sword Pavilion.
Others didn't recognize them, but Mo Fan did.
It was clearly: West City Bathhouse.
Mo Fan: "???"
This is the so-called Immortal Pool?
The Immortal Pool with extremely concentrated spiritual energy inside?
How the hell does this feel unreliable?
Thinking of this, Mo Fan's face darkened even more.
How concentrated can the spiritual energy in bathwater be?
Originally, he still had some expectations. If the spiritual energy concentration was high enough and the quality reached a certain level, could he also absorb it?
But now...
Mo Fan didn't have much hope anymore.
...
Following the crowd, they cautiously entered the West City Bathhouse, no, the Water-Bathing Immortal Pool.
Mo Fan saw five figures wearing black armor with terrifying auras.
Seeing this, Mo Fan focused his mind and cast an Appraisal Technique.
γ Black-Armored Guard, possesses Late Stage Transcendent strength. Dealing with them, who wear black iron armor and have amazing defense, cannot be done recklessly; it requires wit. γ
"Are they that strong..." Mo Fan thought carefully, considering how to use wit.
However, soon, Wang Yang divided the Disciples into six teams, and with a not-very-skilled set of tactics, actively rushed toward the Black-Armored Guards.
Half an hour later.
Through tactics similar to kite-flying, the five Black-Armored Guards were tied up by the crowd, their movements restricted, and they were buried in a pit and sealed.
Obviously, everyone had a lot of experience.
"The Black-Armored Guards are indeed much stronger than recorded, but their characteristics are the same, not hard to deal with!"
"Brothers, charge, let's go soak in the Immortal Pool!"
Wang Yang shouted and headed towards the Immortal Pool.
Consequently, Mo Fan got his wish and saw the so-called Immortal Pool.
This was a pool emitting heat, no, emitting Immortal Qi.
An Appraisal Technique went down.
Mo Fan was directly dumbfounded.
γ West City Bathhouse special service, outdoor hot spring containing a certain amount of spiritual energy, suitable temperature, rich in trace elements needed by the body, long-term soaking can make the skin delicate, smooth, and elastic. γ
Mo Fan: "..."
In stark contrast to Mo Fan, other Disciples jumped into the pool directly and ran their Cultivation Techniques to Cultivate.
"Such concentrated spiritual energy! I feel like the Primordial Power in my body is about to awaken!"
"This terrifying spiritual energy concentration! It's so satisfying! Soaking here for two months is worth three or four years outside!"
"Awesome, awesome, awesome! I'm about to take off!"
Everyone had exaggerated expressions, looking very satisfied, enjoying the hot spring, no, the Immortal Pool!
Seeing this, Mo Fan's expression brightened, and he jumped in full of expectation.
Then, he floated on the water face up, completely closing himself off.
The spiritual energy concentration of the Immortal Pool was indeed very strong, about twenty times that of Yuxu Academy.
But for Mo Fan, it was still not enough.
The spiritual energy he could absorb was negligible; Cultivating was the same as not Cultivating.
"What a sinβ"
Mo Fan had a hopeless expression.
Fortunately, the Origin Qi concentration in the city was not low, and Mo Fan's speed of Cultivating properly was also quite fast.
"Forget it, it's more reliable to absorb Origin Qi for Cultivation."
Mo Fan sighed, pretending to be seriously soaking in the Immortal Pool, his aura constantly improving, but in reality, he was frantically absorbing the Origin Qi in the air.
...
Ten days later, Mo Fan finally adapted a bit to his suddenly soaring cultivation, able to trade blows back and forth with the Red-Clothed Female Ghost.
At the same time, he had been frantically Cultivating these days, and the Origin Qi nearby finally couldn't hold on, about to be exhausted.
Estimating it was about time, Mo Fan indicated that he wanted to go out and take a look, and ignoring everyone's dissuasion, he left the Immortal Pool alone.
"The Outer City has been swept clean, it's time to explore the Forbidden Zone!"
Mo Fan walked firmly toward the Inner City.
