chapter 444: chapter 141: the 6 rules of survival in the devouring spirit blood realm
afterwards, the robed old man made an oath with his soul spirit according to lin jing and his companions’ requests.
following the oath, lin jing, as previously agreed, tossed one hundred thousand spirit stones and a yellow dragon elixir to the robed old man.
after receiving the spirit stones, the robed old man first inspected them, and only after confirming they were correct did he speak again:
“to survive in the devouring spirit blood realm, you must always remember the following six rules…”
“first, within the devouring spirit blood realm, anyone whose spiritual power is exhausted will inevitably become a walking corpse, so if you want to stay alive, spirit stones and elixir medicines that restore spiritual power are very important.”
“second, after nightfall, you must find a cave to hide in; remember not to attempt to look at the moon in the sky, and do not let the moonlight shine upon you.”
“third, no matter what, you must carry black crystals with you. after nightfall, upon entering a cave, be sure to use black boulders to block the entrance, leaving no gaps.”
“if the black boulders sealing the entrance have any gaps, don’t peer through them, and never make eye contact with the blood corpses.”
“fifth, at night, regardless of what happens outside, whatever noise occurs, do not respond, nor should you extend your divine sense to check, and never move the black boulder.”
“remember, any noise.”
“sixth, after nightfall, only one person should stay in a cave. you must separate from your companions and not stay too close; it’s best for only one person to hide in a mountain.”
“otherwise, it will surely attract blood corpses.”
…
…
“those are the rules for surviving in the devouring spirit blood realm.”
“you’ve paid such a high price in spirit stones, so i can only tell you this much. these can ensure that you survive in the devouring spirit blood realm and not die outright.”
having said that, the robed old man added:
“alright…”
“now, can you give me the other half of the spirit stones and the elixir medicines?”
lin jing said nothing and directly threw the other hundred thousand midium grade spirit stones and the elixir medicine to the robed old man.
at this moment, lin jing and qi yuanshu finally understood why the robed old man insisted on having spirit stones.
it turned out to be for this reason.
with spirit stones, one could replenish one’s spiritual power at any time to avoid becoming a walking corpse.
just then, qi yuanshu spoke:
“what are the adverse consequences of fighting in the devouring spirit blood realm? and what are blood corpses?”
qi yuanshu had previously used spells to deal with the walking corpse and, evidently, had participated in a fight.
without understanding this issue, he was uneasy.
after checking the spirit stones and seemingly in a much better mood, the robed old man said to qi yuanshu:
“that’s another question that requires additional spirit stones before i can tell you…”
“or…”
“you give me the remaining spirit stones to make up a full one million, and i will tell you everything i know.”
upon hearing this, qi yuanshu frowned.
now that he knew the importance of spirit stones, he naturally didn’t dare to spend them recklessly.
after all, they had entered this devouring spirit blood realm without knowing when they could leave.
so qi yuanshu asked the robed old man:
“how many spirit stones are needed for those two questions i just asked?”
the robed old man thought for a moment and then replied:
“how about this, give me another fifty thousand midium grade spirit stones, and i will answer the two questions you just asked. additionally, i will give you a piece of advice that is enough to save your life, how about that?”
hearing the robed old man say this, qi yuanshu slightly furrowed his brow, and after pondering for a moment, he took out fifty thousand midium grade spirit stones from his storage bag and tossed them to the robed old man.
following that.
qi yuanshu said to the robed old man:
“now you can tell us, right…”
after receiving the spirit stones, the robed old man smiled and replied:
“of course…”
then, the robed old man continued:
“when two people fight, besides the risk of exhausting their spiritual power, if the commotion of the fight is too loud, it can very likely attract blood corpses…”
“if blood corpses are attracted, both parties involved in the fight will undoubtedly die. the blood corpses will chase them until death, regardless of day or night.”
“therefore, fighting rarely occurs in the devouring spirit blood realm. even if fights do happen, they are usually controlled to avoid making too much noise.”
after he finished speaking, the robed cultivator pointed to the walking corpse that was consistently moving towards the sea of blood and said:
“once that walking corpse enters the sea of blood and reappears, it becomes a blood corpse.”
“blood corpses generally don’t appear during the day, only after nightfall. once blood corpses appear, any cultivators who haven’t hidden in a cave will undoubtedly die.”
“and, these blood corpses are indestructible…”
“if you provoke a blood corpse, even if you are much stronger than it, you will be entangled until your spiritual power is exhausted, thus becoming a walking corpse.”
upon hearing the robed old man say this, qi yuanshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
luckily, when subduing the walking corpse earlier, he withdrew most of his spiritual power and did not cause too much commotion.
then, qi yuanshu asked again:
“didn’t you say that there was another piece of life-saving advice?”
the robed old man then said:
“in the devouring spirit blood realm, if you encounter cultivators who practice puppetry and carry puppets, keep your distance.”
“likewise, as you look for caves to hide in at night, also stay away from them because those cultivators who practice puppetry have special methods to use puppets to avoid blood corpses.”
“moreover, they can use puppets to break the black boulders you use to block the cave entrance, utilizing blood corpses to deal with you while they can profit from the chaos to steal your storage treasures.”
hearing this, lin jing and qi yuanshu suddenly had an epiphany.
it had to be said, this advice was indeed valuable enough to save their lives.
the robed old man finished explaining everything and said directly to lin jing and qi yuanshu:
“alright, you two…”
“our transaction is now complete. look at the sky; nightfall will probably be upon us soon. whether or not you can survive tonight depends on yourselves.”
“take care…”
after saying this, the robed old man left.
lin jing and qi yuanshu looked up at the sky where the blood-red clouds were indeed tinged with gray.
turning back around, qi yuanshu, with a slight frown, asked lin jing:
“lin daoyou…”
“should we inform the other cultivators about this matter? after all, we agreed before we set off that we would share information with each other…”
