Chapter 242 Ancient Restrictions

I saw old man Qiong take out dozens of storage bags and other things from his arms and said to all the casual cultivators,
"Old man, I have prepared a special storage bag for each of you. Once you enter the Blood Forbidden Land, you can put any spiritual medicine you pick into it."

"And the best part is, with your Qi Refining Stage magical powers, you will never be able to take the elixir out once you put it in. You can only bring it out for us to examine."

After saying this, the old man Qiong secretly glanced at the sect disciples and smiled sinisterly,
"This way, you can avoid a lot of trouble and prevent your items from being snatched away by someone with ulterior motives. Do you understand?"

Mo Juren and the others felt nervous when they heard this. It turned out that they could steal other people’s spiritual herbs in the forbidden area!
No wonder it was said that every time disciples entered the Bloody Forbidden Land in previous years, it was easy to get in but difficult to get out, resulting in such a life-threatening situation. It turned out that it was not only the danger of the forbidden land itself, but also that they had to constantly guard against conspiracy among the monks!

Fortunately, thanks to the hint from old man Qiong, the group of casual cultivators were able to make some mental preparations in advance.

After the white-haired evil king who sent them here left, the group of cultivators became like a pile of loose sand, leaderless.

Fortunately, now there is old man Qiong, and finally someone is supporting them.

However, this move of Old Man Qiong caused some dissatisfaction among the other seven sects.

Especially Lu Shanze from Lingshou Mountain. After this guy fed the mother-child heart-eating poison to the casual cultivators, he seemed to have regarded them as his own power from the beginning.

Unfortunately, the intervention of old man Qiong seemed to affect his plan. His eyes flickered for a moment, and he didn't know what he was thinking. Then he protested,

"Senior Qiong, I'm afraid it's not appropriate for you to do this! Disciples from our seven major sects don't have such good things. Isn't this considered cheating?"

Old man Qiong snorted and retorted,
"Which of the disciples of the seven major sects does not have special resources bestowed by their sects? In addition, there are maps handed down by the sects, notes of exploration by predecessors over the years, experience in dealing with various monsters, etc. These good things are not available to independent cultivators at all."

"Take your disciples from Spirit Beast Mountain for example. They probably carry a lot of 'Beast Blood Pills' and other Qi-boosting pills, right? Doesn't that count as cheating?"

Lu Shanze was choked by old man Qiong, but he couldn't refute it. Finally, he fell silent and muttered.

Old man Qiong said to several Jindan monks without giving in to their reason.
"Old man, I have already made it clear in advance that any spiritual medicine placed in this special storage bag of mine, even if you disciples of the sect snatch the bag away, will be considered as the proceeds of the independent cultivators after they are taken out. This is fair. Do you understand?"

The seven Jindan cultivators were all descendants of old man Qiong, so what else could they say? Moreover, considering that the invisible needle magic weapon was too precious, they could only accept whatever he said and agreed to it one after another.

Old Man Qiong nodded in satisfaction and waved to the group of casual cultivators.

"Okay, come up one by one and claim them!"

So Mo Juren followed the other cultivators and hurried forward, and each of them got one of these special storage bags.

He input his magic power to try and found that the space inside was indeed closed and there was indeed no way to unlock it.

With this kind of storage bag, at least they can avoid being robbed by the sect disciples. Otherwise, no matter how lucky they are, the spiritual medicine they get will only be used to help others. After distributing the storage bags, Old Man Qiong reminded the casual cultivators not to try to secretly take the spiritual medicine and put it into their own storage bags.

Because they have entered the bloody forbidden land, when the passage is reopened five days later, all the spiritual medicines must be handed in by the surviving disciples after they come out, and the monks who collect the spiritual medicines will carry one or two spirit-sniffing beasts with them.

This olfactory beast looks like a squirrel, and has an amazing sense of smell. It can smell out any hidden precious medicine, even if it is placed in a storage bag.

Therefore, every time a disciple comes out of the forbidden area, they will voluntarily hand over the spiritual medicine they have obtained. No one dares to have evil intentions and smuggle the medicine into their possession!
Mo Juren was stunned when he heard this. It seemed that the seven major sects were keeping a close eye on these spiritual medicines and not even a single seedling could leak into the outside world.

So how can we get the main ingredient of the Foundation Building Pill then? We need to think of a solution carefully.

After everyone rested for a while, it was finally time to open the forbidden area.

After the Jindan monks from the seven major sects gathered together, Taoist Huang Ning from the Qingxu Sect took out a compass-like magic weapon, which was flashing with the glow of an array.

He made a hand gesture and hovered the magic weapon in front of him. Then he crossed his legs in the air and made a meditation posture, muttering something, and then he opened his eyes and said,

"Eastern Azure Dragon, Jiaosu direction, attack!"

Li Huayuan from Huangfeng Valley responded immediately, using his fingers as a sword, and stabbed out a green sword shadow, heading straight for the eastern hillside. With a "swish", the sword light seemed to break through an invisible barrier.

Suddenly, a large amount of green light emerged from the loess slope that was originally empty. The space seemed to be torn apart by the green light, and the gap became bigger and bigger.

Upon closer inspection, those surging green lights were actually green wind blades, connected to each other and flowing continuously, forming a wall of restriction with extremely destructive power!
With all the people present, even if they were Jindan cultivators, anyone who approached carelessly would probably be chopped into pieces by thousands of swords!

Taoist Huang Ning continued to control the compass while detecting, and after a while he said,
"Eastern Azure Dragon, Heart Constellation, hold steady!"

The one who responded to the voice was the big man in blue from the Giant Sword Sect. He performed a spell and stomped hard. Immediately, a giant sword made of mud emerged from the ground in front of him.

The tip of the giant sword pointed upwards at an angle, and after a flash of magic power, the loose mud sword instantly turned into a heavy stone sword. At the same time, the big man in blue pointed at it, and the stone sword rushed towards the edge of the green light as fast as a meteor.

Suddenly, the sky full of green light began to violently surge, and countless wind blades whistled and blew wildly, easily breaking the stone sword into pieces.

Fortunately, the edge of the space that was originally slowly shrinking became more solid.

Next, everyone was silently waiting for something, and it seemed that the power of the wind wall was constantly changing.

It was the first time for Mo Juren and other casual cultivators to see such a scene. They thought that this powerful green wind wall should be a restriction of this blood-colored forbidden land, preventing these cultivators from entering.

This restriction has been passed down since ancient times and it is so old, but just a corner of it has such amazing power. I wonder how powerful the ancient monks who set up such a huge formation were!
