533 Learning Through Experience (2/2)
”I am Mo Wen.” Mo Wen nodded his head. This young maiden was from the group of people who had been riding on the back of the gigantic bird earlier. They seemed to be members of the Purple Qi Sect.
”How did you escape from Yin Banshuang's badgering?” Meng Tiantian looked at Mo Wen curiously. In reality, she was traveling with her master. She had just arrived on Cropped Top Mountain when she discovered Mo Wen had also appeared. Hence, she came over curiously. Hadn't his Flaming Dragon Colt caught the eye of Yin Banshuang? How had he appeared unharmed here now? He seemed to be fine and also the Flaming Dragon Colt had not been taken from him.
”She saw that I was extraordinarily handsome, then she let me go.” Mo Wen said with a smile. So, that arrogant woman was called Yin Banshuang.
Meng Tiantian blinked, her big eyes bearing a doubtful look as she sized Mo Wen up for a while. Her little head still could not understand how Yin Banshuang would let this youth go just because he was handsome. What part of this youth was extraordinarily handsome? He wasn't even as dashing as her sect senior brother.
”Are you a member of the Purple Qi Pavilion?” Mo Wen asked. He naturally would not miss the opportunity to gather some information.
”Of course.” Meng Tiantian's eyes flashed with a glint of pride. As a member of the Purple Qi Pavilion, it was naturally a matter to be proud of, even more so when her master was one of the three pavilion leaders in the Purple Qi Pavilion.
”Why have you come to the Tan Zi Beast Lair? Are you also here to snatch the spiritual fire?” Mo Wen pretended to ask curiously.
”My sect senior brother and I are out to learn through experience. My master does not allow us to go snatch the spiritual fire, saying something along the lines of it is something we should not be snatching.” Meng Tiantian pouted, seemingly dissatisfied that her master had ordered them not to snatch the spiritual fire. She did not understand why; with their Purple Qi Pavilion's ability, they could have taken the spiritual fire. In the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension, their Purple Qi Pavilion was afraid of no one.
”Learning through experience? Are all those ancient martial art practitioners here to learn through experience?” A glint of clarity flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. It would make sense for them to be here to learn through experience. Otherwise, wouldn't it be seeking death for a young lady like her to be here to snatch the spiritual fire? The spiritual fire itself was a dangerous item. At least 99.9% of the ancient martial art practitioners on the Cropped Top Mountain could only be used as sacrifices.
However, was it common for people to learn through experience in groups? There were at least tens of ancient martial art sects on top of the Cropped Top Mountain. Furthermore, the number was still increasing.
”Some yes, some no. Many ancient martial art practitioners are here for profits. There are many treasures in the Tan Zi Beast Lair. Look over there.” Meng Tiantian pointed towards an empty space at the center of the mountain top. There were many people gathered there.
So it turned out, this time, the reason why so many ancient martial art practitioners were attracted to come here was not because of the spiritual fire, but rather the treasures in the Tan Zi Beast Lair.
The Tan Zi Beast Lair, as one of the Five Great Beast Lairs, naturally would have many treasures that the ancient martial art practitioners dreamt about. Normally, people who could reach the Tan Zi Beast Lair were ancient martial art practitioners with at least Embryonic Breathing realm cultivation. Furthermore, even if an Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioner could venture into the Tan Zi Beast Lair, his probability of coming out alive was tiny.
It was because the Tan Zi Beast Lair was located in the Flame Barren Savage Lands. Not only did ancient martial art practitioners have to face the dangers of the Beast Lair, but they also had to face the perils of the Savage Lands at the same time.
Many times, the ancient martial art practitioners who intended to venture into the Tan Zi Beast Lair would die halfway before they even made it there.
This time, because of the spiritual fire, all the major ancient martial art factions in the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had mobilized. With so many ancient martial art practitioner teams heading to the Tan Zi Beast Lair, the danger would be greatly reduced. It was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
Although the monstrous beasts had low intelligence, their innate survival instinct could help them determine whether or not there was danger. Once the warning signs of danger appeared, they would certainly not dare to simply approach. Since so many ancient martial art practitioners had gathered on Cropped Top Mountain, the monstrous beasts within a hundred mile radius would most likely not dare to approach or act violently.
Rumor had it that the Tan Zi Beast Lair extended deep underground for a total of nine levels. Every level downwards got more and more dangerous. Embryonic Breathing realm ancient martial art practitioners could only move around the first three levels. If they dared to venture into the fourth level, they would certainly die.
Even Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners normally wouldn't dare to venture too deep into the Tan Zi Beast Lair. Since the history of the Green Ancient Mystery Dimension had begun, nobody had set foot in the ninth level of Tan Zi Beast Lair. Therefore, to some extent, the saying that the Tan Zi Beast Lair had nine levels was merely people's conjecture. It was because nobody knew whether there was another level below the eighth level.
A long time ago, there was once a Martial Arts Grandmaster who went to the eighth level of Tan Zi Beast Lair and successfully came out alive. He once said that the eighth level of the Tan Zi Beast Lair was not the final level. There was still another level below it. Because of what he said, others started saying that the Tan Zi Beast Lair to have nine levels.
The direction that Meng Tiantian pointed to was a free trade market. Many ancient martial art practitioners had set up stalls there. They were selling all sorts of weird stuff. One could find almost anything there.
”Those vendors are people who have earned some good stuff from the Tan Zi Beast Lair. But the items they got are of no use to them, so they gathered together and traded them with others,” Meng Tiantian said as she explained.
The reason why so many ancient martial art practitioners were drawn to this place was that the Tan Zi Beast Lair, for them, was a treasure trove. Even the first level had lots of good stuff that many ancient martial art practitioners dreamt of having.
