Chapter 558: Chapter 481: Danger and Opportunity
However, if one is lucky, it doesn’t matter if they slay a priceless demonic beast or find a precious spirit medicine or heavenly material, it could make them instantly wealthy.
Realizing that this place teeming with dangers and opportunities would certainly attract a large number of cultivators, He Song immediately recognized its potential value.
Where there are people, there is the martial world.
These cultivators might hold a slim chance of entering the Demons Realm to seek fortune.
Others might harbor the idea of seizing the chance to kill, intending to ambush the cultivators who leave the Demons Realm’s outer perimeter.
There are even more cultivators, and even sects, who make a living by purchasing various treasures found in the Demons Realm.
Surely, there would be all kinds of cultivators in such a place where numerous cultivators and treasures converge.
Some might have struck it big, even breaking through Foundation Establishment, or even the Golden Elixir stage within such an environment.
And there are, indeed, Foundation Establishment and Golden Elixir cultivators who have been struggling in this place for a long time.
The danger in the Demons Realm should not be underestimated.
Even a Golden Elixir Master entering it might not be able to ensure their survival.
After all, a Golden Elixir Master who goes alone could encounter a group of Golden Elixir Masters lurking outside the Demons Realm, waiting to ambush them.
In such a case, even if the ambushed Golden Elixir Master doesn’t die, they would still suffer a great loss.
He sensed that this place, despite its potential for quickly obtaining a massive amount of spirit stones, is full of danger and killing intent, just as Meng Guan and Wei Fan had thought.
As an everlasting being,
He Song always stayed away from places where one needs to risk their life.
This was determined the moment he opened his eyes in his small room at Bamboo Mountain Immortal Pavilion.
Now, based on Meng Guan and Wei Fan’s words, the location of the Demons Realm could indeed provide spirit stones, but it also requires one to risk their life.
This caused He Song, who originally thought he could give it a try if there were other sources of obtaining spirit stones, to immediately reject the idea.
Other cultivators who risk their lives do so because their lives are short.
Without risks, they can’t obtain many resources.
Without enough resources, they cannot break through the cultivation realm.
If they cannot break through the cultivation realm, their lifespan will run out, and they will die.
But what about He Song?
As an everlasting being, He Song would actually die if he took such risks.
Without taking risks, at most, his cultivation speed would slow down a bit, but it would hardly affect his safety.
As such, He Song would naturally not risk his life like other cultivators do to compete for resources.
After completely extinguishing the idea of hunting demonic beasts in the Demons Realm in exchange for spirit stones,
The thoughtful expression on He Song’s face finally faded.
However, before he could speak, Meng Guan and Wei Fan seemed to have guessed He Song’s thoughts.
Meng Guan saw the thoughtful expression on He Song’s face dissipate quickly, and waved towards him, saying,
“The Demons Realm is indeed too dangerous. If you don’t particularly lack spirit stones or have special needs for certain materials, it’s best to avoid it.”
“However, aside from the Demons Realm, the Golden Elixir Elders of the Sun Faction have many other sources of spirit stones.”
“For instance, masters of the Golden Elixir powers, like what Master Xuan Ying did earlier, can seek backing from the elders of the Sun Faction.”
“Of course, this backing comes with benefits.”
“Basically, every Golden Elixir power has several Golden Elixir elders from the Sun Faction behind them.”
“And these Golden Elixir elders receive offerings from these powers every year.”
“At the same time, if these Golden Elixir powers encounter troubles, like being targeted by Master Xuan Ying, they can ask these Golden Elixir elders to mediate.”
“If the mediation is successful, there would naturally be rewards.”
“However, like me and Wei here, we haven’t had any Golden Elixir powers come to us yet. It seems we need a certain level of strength to shoulder this responsibility.”
“In addition, some Foundation Establishment clans also seek the protection of the Golden Elixir masters, which is almost the same as when we were stationed in Heaven Power Immortal City.”
“There are also cultivators with specific skills who can rely on elixir and artifacts refining, amulet making, or array setup, to earn spirit stones.”
“Those cultivators with such skills have an extremely fast speed of earning spirit stones.”
“Cultivators who can refine Golden Elixir spirit elixirs, low-grade Artifacts, or Golden Elixir spirit amulets, and even Golden Elixir Array, are exceptional among Golden Elixir Masters.”
“Such Golden Elixir Masters with skills excel not only in strength, but also often possess many hidden cards, making them difficult to deal with.”
“These are all sources of income for the Golden Elixir Masters.”
“All in all, a typical Golden Elixir Master, if they want to earn spirit stones, are capable of obtaining over a thousand mid-grade spirit stones within a year.”
“With tens of thousands of mid-grade spirit stones like the ones in your possession, it would only take about 20 or 30 years.”
“Perhaps during the process of earning spirit stones, one could find many treasures to enhance themselves.”
“For skillful Golden Elixir Masters, the speed of earning spirit stones is naturally faster, and they would have more opportunities to exchange suitable treasures with others, making their overall strength stronger.”
