Chapter 57 – First Exploration of the Secret Realm: North Mountain Seventeen Mining Area
“Go find a place to stay first.”
“After all, I’ll be living here for the next year or so.”
Chen Fan walked deeper into the valley.
From time to time, blood dragon scrolls would return from where he was now.
Some of the blood dragon rolls carried martial artists with them.
It was very disruptive to others for him to stand here.
“Tap-tap!”
After walking into the valley, Chen Fan looked around.
For more than a year, he had to have a place to stay here before he could do so.
The valley was situated with houses, large and small, of all kinds.
These houses, all of them, were left behind by people from the past.
When they left, the houses they built were left to those who came after them.
The Blood Abyss Secret Realm was incredibly dangerous.
The only safe place was this valley.
No matter if it was a Blood Beast or a Yuan Beast, they wouldn’t come here.
Also martial artists are forbidden to strike here.
Anyone who causes trouble here will be expelled jointly by everyone.
“This side looks good.”
Chen Fan searched unhurriedly.
The sky of the Blood Abyss Mystic Realm was a blood color, and there was only a faint bright light in the entire mystic realm.
However, the valley was not covered by a blood mist like outside, so such a faint bright light was already enough for him to see a long distance.
An unknown person had used a sword to carve four characters, southeast, west, north and west, on each of the four directions of the valley.
After circling around, Chen Fan came to an area in the north of the valley.
“Let’s pick this one.”
It didn’t take long for Chen Fan to find an uninhabited stone house in the northern part of the valley.
The stone house was not very big.
Near the stone house, there were several other dwellings with small yards.
However, all of these dwellings had been chosen long ago.
Chen Fan walked to the stone house.
With a sweep of his eyes, he saw a stone with the words ‘Someone’ written on it, falling on the ground askew.
Chen Fan bent down and picked up the stone.
“This place will be mine from now on.”
He walked into the stone house, and with a wave of his sleeve, his true qi swept across, and the dust in the stone house was swept out in no time.
“First, go dig for Yuanstone.”
“The blood crystals don’t need to be rushed.”
“In this world, strength is always the most important.”
“I can absolutely wait for my strength to rise before hunting blood beasts and obtaining blood crystals.”
Chen Fan rested in the stone house for a while before walking out.
He was going to dig up a Yuan Stone first to see the effect.
He was more interested in raising his strength up as soon as possible compared to getting together a hundred blood crystals.
“Go find a team to join first.”
“I’ve only gotten a general idea of the situation here from the Immortal Cultivation Manual.”
“But the Immortal Cultivation Manual I’m holding was long ago, I don’t know how many years ago.”
After walking out of the stone house, Chen Fan mused and then prepared to find a team to join first.
As for making a wish ……
These things that he could do by himself, it would be too wasteful if he relied on the wishing beads for all of them.
“Hm?”
Right at this moment, five martial artists walked out from a courtyard not far from Chen Fan.
The five were stunned when they saw him walk out of the stone house.
“Brother is just coming to the secret realm?”
Among the five people, a tall martial artist at the head of the group looked Chen Fan up and down and inquired out loud.
This stone house next to them had not been inhabited for a long time.
And those martial artists who had entered the secret realm a long time ago, after choosing a place to stay, they would rarely change places again.
“It’s just coming in, I’m not familiar with this place yet, I’m just about to find a team to join and see if I can dig up yuan stones.”
Chen Fan nodded and did not hide it. The Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm was not lacking in newly arrived martial artists.
However, most of these martial artists had come in from the entrance on the Immortal Cultivation Realm side.
They purchased entry qualifications before coming in.
Thus, there was no need to gather a hundred blood crystals, and they could simply wait for the Blood Abyss Gate to open once the five years were up, and these martial artists would be able to leave directly.
“Digging for yuan stones?”
“Finding a team?”
The eyes of the tall martial artist and the few people in his team lit up when they heard Chen Fan’s words.
“Brother, what do you think of our squad?”
“I won’t hide it from you, we happen to be preparing to head to the Yuanstone Vein.”
“If you’re interested, we can set off now.”
The tall martial artist spoke enthusiastically.
Other than this valley, there were dangers hidden everywhere in the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm.
Therefore, when martial artists went out, many of them would form a team.
“Of course.”
Chen Fan had a smile on his face.
He did not hesitate and directly agreed.
His martial qualification had reached the limit of this world, and his martial qualification had increased, and along with it, his spiritual power, enlightenment, and so on, had also increased.
In this situation, when an ordinary martial artist stood in front of him, he was able to roughly sense their strength and weakness.
“Five early innate stage martial artists.”
Chen Fan sensed the cultivation level of the five martial artists with a slight induction.
Knowing the cultivation level of the five, they were mostly at the early Innate stage just like him.
And amongst his peers, he was confident that he could definitely be ranked amongst the top ones.
When he first came here, his favorite thing was to find this kind of martial artist whose strength was not as good as his own to form a team.
“Haha, welcome aboard.”
“My name is Shi Tian, early innate stage martial artist, these four are my teammates.”
“Come, let’s introduce ourselves first.”
Seeing Chen Fan agree, the tall martial artist laughed.
“White Light.”
“Ning Chuanxin.”
“Gu Yiting.”
“Liu Xiaomei.”
Subsequently, Shi Tian’s four teammates then all spoke their names.
Then, a few people also spoke their strengths.
As he had expected, several of them were early Innate stage martial artists.
At the same time, Chen Fan also knew that the several people, Shi Tian, were the owners of the several houses around him.
Of course, after obtaining this information, he also introduced himself.
“Let’s go, let’s not delay here, let’s talk about things on the way.”
After the few people exchanged briefly, Shi Tian waved his hand and led the way towards the starting point of a blood-colored dragon scroll in the valley.
In the surroundings of this valley, there were one blood-colored dragon scroll starting point after another scattered all over.
Together, there were always hundreds of these starting points.
The blood-colored tornadoes formed at different starting points also passed through different locations.
“Whew!”
A gust of bloody wind converged, and just as several people arrived at this starting point, a blood-colored tornado formed at a rapid pace, wrapping them up and whistling towards one spot.
“Our target this time, is the 17th mining area in the North Mountain, during this recent period of time, many martial artists digging for yuan stones are here.”
“You may not know that it’s getting harder and harder to dig Yuanstone in the Blood Abyss Mysterious Realm now.”
“The few places that produce the most Yuanstone are jointly occupied by some powerful martial artists.”
“For a nearly abandoned mining area like the 17th North Mountain, only early innate stage martial artists like us will go there in a group.”
On the way, Shi Tian several people introduced the situation of the place with Chen Fan.
“Arrived!”
“Let’s go!”
Half an hour later, a rolling mountain range appeared in front of the crowd.
With a greeting, Shi Tian used his true qi to protect his body and rushed out from the blood-colored dragon scroll.
