"Indeed, so it is. Life and death are fated, wealth is in the hands of destiny. Peng Zhan dying here is his fate. After all, this is the Kunpeng Secret Realm, where anything can happen."
"Not only we from the Celestial Roc Race have entered this secret realm; the Immortal Fox Race, Flood Dragon Race, and Ice Soul Race have also come in. If we encounter them, they surely won’t be courteous to us."
"That’s right, don’t think you can avoid death just because you belong to the Celestial Roc Race. In a true life-or-death battle, the enemy doesn’t care about your identity."
"From now on, we should avoid splitting up randomly, lest the enemy defeats us one by one."
Numerous Celestial Roc Race cultivators felt quite helpless.
They wanted to continue investigating the murderer, but unfortunately, this is the Kunpeng Secret Realm, and manpower is not very sufficient.
Moreover, the Kunpeng Secret Realm is only open for one year.
If they waste time, it would be tantamount to wasting their own life and missing opportunities.
Once the Kunpeng Secret Realm closes, no one knows when it will open again.
Thus, they cannot continue staying here, wasting time.
Although the death of Peng Zhan and others is indeed a significant loss for the Celestial Roc Race, there’s nothing they can do; they cannot abandon opportunities solely to hunt down the murderer.
At present, it is best to thoroughly set aside this matter temporarily.
Another day passed.
Kunpeng Secret Realm, a hidden cave.
After eliminating three Celestial Roc Race cultivators, Jiang Fan fled all the way and followed his instincts to find a hidden cave to temporarily conceal himself.
The entire Kunpeng Secret Realm is vast, and even Celestial Roc Race cultivators cannot possibly find him.
If they really intend to search, it would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Additionally, he is hiding within the internal world of the Exquisite Tower.
This makes it even less likely for the Celestial Roc Race cultivators to find him.
At this moment, Jiang Fan was counting his gains from this time.
Not only did he obtain the Sunflower Water Spirit Tree, but also the storage bags of three Celestial Roc Race cultivators, one at the Nascent Soul level, two at the Golden Core level.
So, as one can imagine, the harvest was exceedingly large this time.
"Tsk tsk, as expected of a Tier Four Demon Cultivator, having such wealth."
Jiang Fan looked at the three storage bags, discovering that they contained a large quantity of spirit stones, various spirit medicines, and precious materials. These treasures totaled up to be worth at least ten million spirit stones.
Compared to his wealth, naturally, it’s nothing.
But for a common Golden Core cultivator, it would be an overnight fortune.
He remembers well that opening the Gate of the Void cost him twenty million spirit stones.
Obtaining so much now helps recoup half of the cost.
"Wait, is that a Life Source Stone?"
Jiang Fan’s heart stirred as he immediately noticed inside the storage bag an unusual treasure: surprisingly, it was a life source stone, roughly the size of a fist, sealing a bottle inside.
Undoubtedly, anything sealed by a life source stone must be a treasure.
Furthermore, it is from the Ancient Era.
In the current Cultivation Realm, source stones are virtually impossible to find.
Thunk!
Thinking about this, Jiang Fan immediately broke the life source stone and took out the contents.
Then he opened the bottle, which instantly released a rich fragrance of medicine, while a faint golden glow emerged.
"Master, these are Nascent Soul Pills."
"And they are Nascent Soul Pills from the Ancient Times."
"A full ten of them, this is truly a fortune."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace exclaimed with excitement upon seeing this, completely unable to contain its joy.
It never expected to find so many Nascent Soul Pills, and this is undoubtedly a massive fortune.
Exceedingly beyond its imagination.
"Nascent Soul Pills from the Ancient Times!"
Jiang Fan was also very impressed, never expecting such a treasure on this Tier Four Demon Cultivator.
He clearly remembered that during his time at the Southern Continent’s Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, just the emergence of a Nascent Soul Pill had sparked a war among two Nascent Soul sects and many forces.
Many cultivators fell in that battle.
So it is clear how crucial the Nascent Soul Pill is—it’s akin to strategic resources.
One Nascent Soul Pill could establish a Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even in places like the Eastern Continent, Nascent Soul Pills are extremely valuable, beyond what spirit stones can buy.
But now, he received ten Nascent Soul Pills at once, which is truly remarkable.
Indeed, this is the Fifth-Grade Opportunity.
The previous Sunflower Water Spirit Tree was just an accessory; the Nascent Soul Pills are the main event.
"However, despite all this time passing, the medicinal power within the Nascent Soul Pills shows no signs of evaporation."
"Just like they were freshly refined, it is genuinely incredible."
The Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace remarked emotionally.
Normally, a newly refined elixir will have its medicinal properties gradually evaporate over time if not treated.
For example, Nascent Soul Pills are the same; if not consumed, their medicinal power would evaporate completely over approximately twenty years, rendering the pills ineffective.
Of course, alchemists have techniques to seal pills, slowing their evaporation.
Ordinary sealing techniques can preserve them for ten or twenty years.
Some top sealing techniques can preserve them for hundreds or even thousands of years.
Inside the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace’s internal space, they can be preserved for several thousand to tens of thousands of years without issue.
However, tens of thousands of years is the limit for the Ten Thousand Transformations Pill Furnace.
Yet these Nascent Soul Pills have unknown millennia of history, coming from the Ancient Era.
But now, none of their medicinal properties have evaporated; they remain perfectly intact.
"This is the characteristic of the Life Source Stone."
"It can seal not only cultivators easily."
"It can also seal spirit medicines and elixirs, preserving them indefinitely."
"These Nascent Soul Pills were probably discovered in the Qiongqi Secret Realm by this Tier Four Celestial Roc Race cultivator."
"He just hadn’t had a chance to open them, so they fell into our lap."
"It’s our lucky break."
The Primordial Talisman Pen was at a loss for words, simply acknowledging Jiang Fan’s luck as too extraordinary.
Originally, it thought Jiang Fan was about to undergo Nascent Soul Formation, and it was time to seek out some Nascent Soul formation elixirs and spiritual objects.
This was a precautionary measure.
Who could have predicted that, before even starting the search, Nascent Soul Pills would come to him?
Moreover, he received ten Nascent Soul Pills.
Doubtless, just these Nascent Soul Pills are enough to justify entering the Kunpeng Secret Realm.
Outside the realm, acquiring a Nascent Soul Pill is nearly impossible.
"So, does this mean there might be many Ancient Era treasures left in the Kunpeng Secret Realm?"
Jiang Fan mused, rubbing his chin.
Originally, he thought that these Ancient Era secret realms shouldn’t retain any treasures considering how much time has passed. Even if some were left, they would likely be damaged from age.
Especially spirit medicines and elixirs, which would likely have turned to ash.
However, the presence of source stones may mean these treasures have a chance of being preserved.
"Indeed, that’s highly likely."
"Otherwise, these Demon Race cultivators wouldn’t be so eager for the True Spirit Secret Realm."
"The Western Continent’s abundance of Tier Five Demon Cultivators is likely interconnected with these True Spirit Secret Realms."
The Primordial Talisman Pen said gravely.
Normally, the resources of the Western Continent can’t compare to those of the Eastern Continent.
But this continent is unique in leaving numerous True Spirit Secret Realms behind.
And these Secret Realm Worlds hold many treasures from the Ancient Era.
Even if these demon cultivators obtain just a fragment, it would yield a lucrative return.
It increasingly felt founding the Primordial Talisman Sect in the Western Continent was the right choice.
Establishing a sect in this place would make it the sole human sect.
The abundant cultivation resources here, if harnessed by those capable, would ensure the rapid rise of the Primordial Talisman Sect; indeed, this is the chosen land for its ascent.
Frankly, it greatly admired Jiang Fan’s foresight.
