”Shun Long, it’s better for you and your faction to avoid completing the trials of ‘Demon-fanged city’ just yet and focus on increasing your strength for now. Although you have a peak rank 6 magic beast and this preliminary trial of ‘Demon-fanged city’ probably won’t pose much of a challenge to you, things won’t be the same if you choose to leave the city.”
Qiao Min said seriously as she stared at Shun Long whose hand was still placed on the stone tablet in front of him.
Although Qiao Min was surprised when she saw how abnormally fast Shun Long’s and the others’ rate of growth actually was, especially Liu Mei’s own cultivation base that had even surpassed her own and was close to reaching the same level as that of most inner court disciples of the Holy sect, she still decided to warn Shun Long about this matter, and after a few moments of silence she continued
”Aren’t you curious why there are so many middle and even a few late-stage Dao Kings who are still in this ‘Demon-fanged city’ even though it wouldn’t be difficult for them to hunt down 5000 ‘Demon-fanged mice’ and move forward?
There are 2 main reasons for this.
The first reason is because most of these Dao Kings who are still here come from the weaker powers of the central region, and most of those powers don’t have any Saint middle-grade cultivation techniques or martial skills in the first place, so naturally, those people are aiming to get their hands on those techniques.”
Shun Long nodded his head as he stared at Qiao Min, as he had also realized this by himself the moment he touched the stone tablet in front of him.
Indeed, it wasn’t surprising that there were so many middle and even some late-stage Dao Kings still present in this ‘Demon-fanged city’ even though they should have been able to complete this trial long ago.
After all, even in the Holy sect, complete Saint middle-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills were quite valuable and only the inner court Elders of the sect were able to gain access to them. Although the top 1000 outer court disciples had a chance to obtain them from the ‘Golden Treasures hall’, the prices of those techniques were exorbitant and most of those disciples would have to work for hundreds if not thousands of years for the sect until they were able to afford most of those techniques.
Even the inner court disciples of the sect had to render some significant contributions if they wanted to choose a Saint middle-grade cultivation technique or martial skill for themselves.
Nodding her head, Qiao Min stared at Shun Long and continued with the same serious look on her face
”But of course, that is only the first reason why those people decided to stay in the ‘Demon-fanged city’ instead of continuing to move forward.
After all, although the rewards from the trials in thic city aren’t bad, everyone can probably guess how much better the rewards of the next trials are going to be, and most likely, they won’t just involve Saint high-grade cultivation techniques and martial skills, but perhaps there will even be some immortal-grade skills available as well.
However, nobody truly knows how difficult those trials will be so it’s much safer to stay in this and obtain the cultivation techniques here while they also advance their strength.”
Shun Long nodded his head when he heard Qiao Min’s words as he also agreed with her.
Indeed, for those people who didn’t come from any large powers and needed a Saint middle-grade cultivation technique to replace their current cultivation technique, staying in the ‘Demon-fanged city’ to aim for the final rewards was unquestionably the best choice.
Besides, the qi in this city was even better than the qi in any other location throughout the central region that these people had access to.
As for Qiao Min, Shun Long guessed that she remained in this ‘Demon-fanged city’ simply because the next trials would be impossible for her to complete.
In fact, even the current trials of this ‘Demon-fanged city’ would be extremely hard for her if she had to complete them by herself.
After all, slaughtering 5000 early rank 6 magic beasts, even if they were just extremely weak rank 6 magic beast like the ‘Demon-fanged mice’ was a task that was extremely difficult for a single early rank 5 Dao King to do so alone.
But of course, if the top 10 outer court disciples of the Holy sect banded together, then it would be a completely different story.
”Most likely, Qiao Min intends to stay here and increase her strength by a good amount before she completes this trial. Considering that the dangers of the next trials are currently unknown, this is probably the best choice for anyone else, not just her.”
Shun Long thought to himself as he stared at Qiao Min for a few moments, before he turned his gaze towards Bai Longtian and the rest who had placed their hands on the stone tablet at the center of the room as well, as they learned about the trials of this city.
”Unfortunately, this is all the help I can give you for now. However, if there is anything else you need, you can always come and find me since I’m not planning to leave the ‘Demon-fanged city’ for the next 1 or 2 years.” As she finished speaking, Qiao Min cupped her hands at Shun Long with a serious look in her eyes, and after she threw a few more looks at Xingyi and the others, her gaze lingering on Liu Mei and Little Silver for a few seconds longer, Qiao Min finally turned around and left the ‘Hall of Trials’.
Shun Long stared at Qiao Min’s disappearing figure for a few seconds, before he turned his gaze towards Liu Mei, Xingyi, Jiang Chen, and Bai Longtian, who were all looking at the stone tablet and said with a smile
”Since we need 5000 demon cores to leave this place, let’s go exercise for a bit!”
