The sect asked me to marry, and I cultivated to the pinnacle of martial arts!

Chapter 279: Scavenging Spiritual Herbs in the Forbidden Land; Jiang Lingyue Heads to Danling City for Assessment; This is Too Much Bullying for Beasts!

"Captain, I... I didn't see wrong, did I?! He went in alone?!"

Within the team, the female member stared wide-eyed, her words clearly filled with shock.

The Black Tide Forbidden Zone is no place to be trifled with!
Countless individuals, from those with acquired skills to those with innate skills, and even martial arts grandmasters, have perished in this endeavor!

Having multiple people enter is like adding an extra layer of insurance, since they can help each other if danger really arises.

And going alone... well, you can only pray you're lucky.

Lu Ye had no idea that his solo trip to the Black Tide Forbidden Land would shock the martial arts team behind him.

At this moment, he had already traversed several miles and officially entered the outer area of ​​the forbidden zone.

The primordial energy here is extremely rich; even the outer perimeter is not much different from the primordial energy concentration of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

"The source energy is indeed abundant. Only with such abundant source energy can various treasures be cultivated."

The outer perimeter is generally inhabited by first and second-tier ferocious beasts, corresponding to the Condensation Origin Realm and the Acquired Realm.

When this ferocious beast saw Lu Ye passing by, it was only about to show its intimidation intent when the human in front of it disappeared.

Immediately, the ferocious beasts looked bewildered, thinking they were seeing things.

As he moved forward, Lu Ye scanned the vast area, searching for the Shadow Flowers needed for this mission.

Although most Shadow Flowers only appear deep within forbidden areas, there are still opportunities in the outer and central regions.

Unfortunately, Lu Ye's luck didn't work out; he traveled for dozens of miles without making any discoveries.

There were quite a few first and second-tier spiritual herbs and plants in the outer area. After thinking about it, Lu Ye picked all the spiritual herbs he found along the way.

He naturally had no use for such high-level items; he mainly kept them for Jiang Lingyue, who had already become an alchemist, to practice on.

Any mature alchemist only has enough refining experience after a lot of practice.

The Black Tide Forbidden Zone was indeed vast; it took Lu Ye a full half-day before he officially stepped into the central region.

Upon arriving here, one can frequently see third-tier ferocious beasts comparable to those at the Innate Realm emerging and engaging in battle with each other.

"A third-tier spiritual herb, not bad at all."

Seeing two third-tier ferocious beasts fighting over a third-tier spiritual herb, Lu Ye's eyes lit up.

Immediately, while the two innate-level ferocious beasts stared in disbelief, a two-legged human simply swept over without any disguise...

The medicinal herbs that had been fighting the two beasts to the death were uprooted!
Immediately, the two beasts stopped fighting and roared angrily at Lu Ye, saying that he was being bullied too much!

Do you think they are the weaker first or second tier individuals on the periphery?

Seeing the two ferocious beasts at the Innate Realm that were showing signs of rage and were about to pounce, Lu Ye's eyes turned cold.

A terrifying aura that horrified even beasts suddenly enveloped the entire area!
In an instant, the eyes of the two ferocious beasts that had charged from dozens of meters away suddenly became clear!

"Roar... Awoo..."

One of them, its legs trembling uncontrollably, transformed its roar into a completely submissive howl.

Lu Ye glanced indifferently at the two trembling beasts and continued collecting the low-grade spiritual herbs nearby.

Several minutes later, after Lu Ye left, the two ferocious beasts at the Innate Realm finally breathed a sigh of relief.

It wasn't that the beasts lacked courage... but rather that the human opposite them was simply too terrifying! They felt that even the Beast King deep within wasn't this frightening!
On the other side, there is Wuxiang Mountain.

Upon returning to her sect, Jiang Lingyue seemed to have taken a miraculous elixir, successfully refining first-tier pills three times in a row.

"Not bad. Your control is outstanding among first-tier alchemists. If you have time, you can come with me to Danling City in the Northern Territory to take the alchemist badge test." Su Liuying nodded and said from the side.

Danling City is an extremely special city in the Northern Territory, and it is also the location of the Northern Territory headquarters of the Alchemist Association.

Meanwhile, there are no fewer than five martial arts grandmasters stationed in Danling City year-round.

If it weren't for Danling City's special status, which prevents it from being viewed as an ordinary force, the most powerful entity in the Northern Territory would not be the Myriad Laws Sect, but Danling City.

Moreover, the Alchemist Association is spread throughout the Great Jing, and there is a Pill Spirit City in every state. If it is really considered as a force, it is undoubtedly one of the top forces in the Great Jing!
“I have time, so I’ll trouble Manager Su then,” Jiang Lingyue said immediately upon hearing this.

Having obtained the Alchemist Association's certification badge, one not only possesses the truly recognized identity of an alchemist...

There are also some benefits every year!

"Alright, after I finish arranging some things within the peak, you will come with me to Danling City in the Northern Territory."

Su Liuying said, "Perfect timing, I also want to take the test."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Lingyue exclaimed in shock, "Manager Su, you wouldn't be... taking the exam to become a fourth-level alchemist?! Congratulations, Manager Su!"

Su Liuying was previously a third-level alchemist, and the highest-grade pills she could refine were usable by those at the Innate Realm.

If he were to advance one more level... he would become a fourth-tier alchemy master!
A fourth-tier alchemy master holds a terrifying position in the Northern Territory.

With a slight smile, Su Liuying shook her head and said, "You little rascal, what did you eat when you went out? Why are you being so sweet?"

She paused for a moment, then continued, "However, the fourth-level alchemist assessment is not so easy, and I'm actually not very confident."

Jiang Lingyue asked cautiously, "Then, Manager Su, how confident are you?"

Sighing, Su Liuying made a hand gesture: "I'm not very confident, maybe... 80%."

Jiang Lingyue: “???”

Within the forbidden area, the central region was even more expansive. Lu Ye glanced at the sky and decided to spend the night in the central part of the forbidden area.

The danger level here is obviously much lower than that in the deeper parts.

Tomorrow morning, venture deeper into the area, hoping to find the Shadow Flower, and then immediately leave this place.

Soon, night fell.

The Black Tide Forbidden Zone becomes significantly more dangerous after nightfall.

Many ferocious beasts that did not venture out during the day also come out to hunt for food at this time.

In the outer area, the five-person team that had entered less than a kilometer into the outer area during the day was now setting up camp in a secluded spot, and everyone was trembling a little.

In the central region...

A figure casually set up a barrier, then sat cross-legged on a blue stone, absorbing the rich primordial energy of heaven and earth within the forbidden area.

Many ferocious beasts at the Innate Realm passed by and couldn't help but drool. The two-legged beastmen... they smelled so good!
However, after sensing the oppressive aura emanating from that direction, an aura that could even crush the beast king deep within...

These normally unruly beasts at the Innate Realm quickly wiped the drool from their mouths with their claws! With their tails between their legs, they timidly scurried away from the place.
