391: Chapter 316_2 391: Chapter 316_2 Immortal Venerable City actually had a Supreme Pill Alchemist appear who sold Pills at high prices to those who could afford them.
Bian Shasha and her companions could only envy such fortunes.
As Outer Sect Disciples, they were already doing well to receive high-level Pills, and this required risking their lives on dangerous missions.
Even if they had the money to buy Supreme Elixirs, according to the sayings of the Martial World, many people killed and plundered for Supreme Elixirs.
Even if they had the money to exchange for Supreme Elixirs, they wouldn’t have the lives to keep them safe.
Everyone has envies and dreams, but they could only lament their bad luck.
Bian Shasha, being the daughter of a prominent family, was just like her companions and not like Ding Ling, an ordinary girl.
Yet, it was this ordinary girl who surpassed all of them in ability.
Moreover, she caught the attention of a Golden Core Elder and suddenly soared to greater heights.
It seemed she also made acquaintance with sons of high-class families.
Bian Shasha also longed for such good fortune.
But who knows if it was because she was unpopular, even though she, like the other girls, was the daughter of a rich family.
Yet, within the Immortal Sect, she always remained an Outer Sect Disciple.
They felt indignant but were helpless.
Outside, they were merely Foundation Establishment Stage female Disciples.
But they were not beautiful, nor were they popular, so not many people interacted with them.
When they were abroad, they dared not provoke anyone, either.
During their time outside, they encountered no dangers and smoothly made their way to the Boundless Forest.
As the daughter of a wealthy family, Bian Shasha was the leader of these girls.
Together, they arrived at the Boundless Forest, which seemed harmless at first glance.
Bian Shasha and her companions entered the Boundless Forest, which true to its name, seemed endless.
They dared not walk on the ground, unaware of the dangers that might await them there.
They consistently used their Flying Artifacts to fly high above the forest, maintaining a low altitude above the trees, and constantly scanning the ground for the resources they wanted to obtain.
Naturally, without the Immortal Vine Tree, there would be no flowers or fruits to harvest seeds from.
Along the way, they felt greatly disappointed.
On the ground, there were neither dangerous Demonic Beasts to be seen nor the resources they needed.
Flying continuously at high altitudes, at first they were fine, but gradually their supplies and provisions began to run low.
They also realized that the high skies were not safe either.
The further they flew into the depths of the Boundless Forest, the more geese and owls swooped at them, attempting to bite.
Many black forms, and those crow-like black birds, continuously attacked them.
They had no choice but to use their Cultivation Techniques and Spells, along with the resources they carried, to fight off these annoying attacking Demonic Beasts.
Originally they held the advantage, but the relentless appearance of these Demonic Beasts wore them down.
They found that these creatures were afraid of fire.
Among all of them, only Bian Shasha had a Fire Spirit Root, while the others relied on Spirit Talismans to fend them off.
But they were not exactly wealthy, and ever since that competition, they bought some items specifically for self-defense in preparation for their trip to the Boundless Forest.
They had only just entered the Boundless Forest and yet to find what they needed when they encountered this strange affair.
“Bian Shasha, what should we do?
It’s so scary!” one of the companions said, her voice trembling.
As girls, many are afraid of insects, especially these kinds of black insects.
Crows and black bats – anyone unlucky enough to encounter them was in for trouble.
Not to mention whether they were poisonous, just the fact of encountering such Demonic Beasts gave them an unfortunate feeling.
“What else can we do?
They’re afraid of fire, burn them to death.”
Bian Shasha’s heart was also trembling, but as the leader, she couldn’t show fear first.
She was determined to commit to this mission.
They knew before coming that the Boundless Forest would certainly be dangerous.
The calmness they saw before was just because they hadn’t encountered any danger yet.
Bian Shasha didn’t want to flee just like that, without finding resources.
With this trip potentially ending in vain, not only would they fail to gain resources, but they would also lose many.
How could she afford to lose again?
Without a master, she could only rely on herself to obtain resources; no matter what, she had to earn those two high-level Pills.
“Ah…!
Poisonous…”
A companion, in an act of carelessness, was brushed by a black bat and felt a sharp pain.
The brushed skin turned black.
“Quick, take the antidote Pills…”
Another companion, fearing the demise of their comrade, knew they would be one person short in facing these demonic beasts.
“But I’ve run out of detoxifying pills.”
This companion’s face was filled with sorrow as she looked at Bian Shasha with pleading eyes.
“Here you go…, be careful…” Bian Shasha, the wealthy young lady, had far more resources at her disposal than the others.
She had detoxifying medicine at the ready and had secretly taken a detoxifying pill earlier when she saw these creatures.
Seeing the afflicted companion’s skin starting to recover after taking the pill, the other women realized that the bats’ claws were poisonous.
“Everyone be careful, the bats’ claws, and the crows’ beaks, they’re all poisonous.”
Bian Shasha informed her companions, even though they had never encountered such things before and had only just noticed the abnormalities.
Bian Shasha, a daughter of wealth, had arrived at the Immortal Sect without much hardship, using her family’s resources for her cultivation.
Perhaps because her dedication to cultivation was not as strong, she did not work as hard as Ding Ling and didn’t receive the assistance of other male disciples.
Without any elders taking notice of her, she seemed to have advantages, yet she wasn’t comparable to an ordinary girl, Ding Ling.
These women were always her followers, just for the resources she possessed.
Bian Shasha, using her own spells, squandered numerous Fire Spirit Talismans.
The bats and crows attacked her companions more, targeting her less often.
Relatively speaking, she was safer than those companions.
Bian Shasha had a slightly higher combat power than her companions.
The others had various spells, excluding water spells; they had metal, wood, and earth, but none were effective against the bats and crows.
Only fire could possibly make the crows and bats more fearful.
“Let’s go, we can’t stay in one place for too long.
It’s almost nightfall, and it will be more dangerous in the dark.
We also can’t stay in the sky; we need to replenish energy.
Starving without food all day,” she said.
The women with her were eager to flee, to leave the Boundless Forest crowded with dense swarms of bats and crows.
Bian Shasha and her companions fought off their attackers while on the run, extensively depleting their resources.
Escaping the place swarming with crows and bats, they didn’t dare stay aloft in the sky.
Landing on the ground, night had fallen, and they started a fire.
Without any dry food left, they prepared to search the Boundless Forest for something to eat.
In the darkness of the night, their vision was excellent.
They spotted wild rabbits, not ordinary ones, but low-tier Level 1 demonic hares.
These Level 1 demonic hares weren’t very strong in combat.
After much effort, they killed two and, knowing it was not possible to find a water source to clean them, they could only skin and roast them on the spot.
As they scraped off the fur and speared the meat over the fire, other demonic beasts in the forest, lured by the scent of blood, began to stir restlessly.
“Howl…”
Suddenly, the sound of wolves emerged in the forest, followed by the noises of other demonic beasts, not only tigers but also leopards.
“This is bad, we’ve attracted stronger demonic beasts.
We can’t stay here…,” said Bian Shasha to her allies.
“But we haven’t even had anything to eat,” a companion said, looking at the food that was almost ready, uncertain whether to abandon it or continue roasting.
“Are you out of your minds?
Put the meat in the storage bag first.
We can roast and eat it while flying,” Bian Shasha chastised her companions and was the first to ascend into the sky with her flying artifact.
The other companions had no choice but to quickly fly up as well, with the scent of their food already drawing wolves and other formidable demonic beasts.
From a distance, green eyes could be seen gleaming in the dark of the night.
In fact, the scent of blood wasn’t strong enough to attract so many powerful demonic beasts; it was the vital Qi of these women intruding into the Boundless Forest that roused the beasts, sensing the presence of live prey to be devoured or driven away.
