#978 - Chapter 978 Forbidden Land

Ye Kong looked around and saw that none of the other sects raised their hands, and chuckled. This chuckle was heard by everyone present.

"Oh, Peak Lord Ye can still laugh. Does he think this Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground is child's play for your Carefree Peak?" Xiao Wu said deliberately, hearing Ye Kong's chuckle.

Ye Kong didn't speak, as if he was tacitly acknowledging it.

"Ye Kong, you haven't participated in the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground before, so you don't know how terrifying that place is. You should think carefully for the sake of your disciples," Liu Ruyan kindly reminded.

The other peak lords looked at Ye Kong with a hint of disdain in their eyes.

Ye Kong ignored the gazes of the others and raised his hand high.

Ye Kong's raised hand stood out among the crowd.

Luo Yangtian naturally saw Ye Kong raise his hand, his eyes calm. After all, Ye Kong's disciples were indeed capable.

"Good, Carefree Peak!"

"What about the others? Show your stance," Luo Yangtian's tone seemed to imply, 'Look, Carefree Peak is participating, why aren't you?'

Xiao Wu didn't expect Ye Kong to actually raise his hand. He originally wanted to take the opportunity to mock Ye Kong, but he didn't expect him to be so courageous.

Unwilling to let Ye Kong take the limelight, Xiao Wu also raised his hand.

"Martial Dao Peak!" Luo Yangtian's voice rang out.

Xiao Wu showed Ye Kong a disdainful expression, but Ye Kong didn't even look at him.

Seeing that Carefree Peak had participated, the others were spurred by a desire to compete, and Spiritual Heart Peak, Yin Yang Peak, Heavenly Sword Sect, Beast Taming Sect, and Myriad Flowers Sect also joined in.

After Luo Yangtian gave some instructions on safety issues, the meeting adjourned, and the peak lords returned to their respective sects.

Ye Kong was about to go back when a voice sounded beside him.

"Peak Lord Ye!"

Ye Kong turned around and saw that it was Yao Zidan, the sect leader of Pill Forging Sect.

Yao Zidan came to Ye Kong and cupped his fist in salute.

Ye Kong returned the greeting.

"I wonder what Sect Leader Yao wants?" Ye Kong usually didn't have deep interactions with the various sects, so Yao Zidan's sudden approach must be for a reason.

"It's like this, Peak Lord Ye. My Pill Forging Sect has recently been trying to develop a special pill. Once this pill is made, it can greatly improve the cultivator's cultivation and greatly increase their power! If Peak Lord Ye is willing to help my Pill Forging Sect, I will definitely provide Carefree Peak with hundreds of first-class, high-quality Foundation Solidifying and Essence Nourishing pills!" Yao Zidan exaggerated generously.

Ye Kong knew that the Pill Forging Sect's pill refining skills were excellent. First-class pills were nothing to them, not to mention Foundation Solidifying and Essence Nourishing pills, they could probably refine longevity pills.

There's no such thing as a free lunch. Ye Kong's rationality told him that this was not simple.

"Sect Leader Yao's conditions are very attractive to me," Ye Kong said.

Hearing Ye Kong say this, Yao Zidan's face immediately showed a smug smile, believing that Ye Kong would definitely agree.

"However, the Pill Forging Sect probably refines more than just those Foundation Solidifying and Essence Nourishing pills!" Ye Kong's tone suddenly changed.

The smile on Yao Zidan's face slowly froze, and the corners of his mouth slowly disappeared.

Ye Kong thought he could take this opportunity to rob the Pill Forging Sect.

"Heh! I can also look for other people."

Yao Zidan turned around as if to leave, expecting Ye Kong to persuade him to stay and discuss the conditions further, but he didn't expect Ye Kong to remain unmoved.

Yao Zidan felt heavy. In fact, the Pill Forging Sect had gone to the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground once fifty years ago, but unexpectedly, that Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground was extremely dangerous. The disciples who participated either died or were injured. Most of the Pill Forging Sect members now are new disciples who have only been initiated for a year.

Yao Zidan didn't dare to risk letting his disciples go to the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground again, fearing that it would be another heavy loss. And now is the important period for refining the Five Elements Profound Pill, otherwise he, the dignified sect leader of the Pill Forging Sect, would not have to lower his status and seek help from others.

He had already asked the other sects, but they had all refused. Now, only Carefree Peak remained.

Yao Zidan gritted his teeth, closed his eyes, and turned back with a smiling face.

"Hehehe, Peak Lord Ye, I think that under your leadership, Carefree Peak has become so powerful. I, Yao Zidan, think Peak Lord Ye's request is something that our Pill Forging Sect can agree to. Cooperating with Carefree Peak is definitely more reliable than other sects."

Yao Zidan's suddenly changed smiling face surprised Ye Kong.

"Since Sect Leader Yao thinks so highly of my Carefree Peak, sure! I wonder how Sect Leader Yao needs my Carefree Peak to help the Pill Forging Sect?" Seeing that Yao Zidan had agreed, Ye Kong didn't make things difficult for Yao Zidan and directly asked Yao Zidan's purpose.

"My Pill Forging Sect has recently been cultivating a pill called the Five Elements Profound Pill. Some of the herbs have been found by the disciples, but we are still lacking a very important main ingredient," Yao Zidan felt that Ye Kong was not a person who would break his promise, so he simply told him directly.

"Five Elements Profound Pill?" Ye Kong had never heard of it.

"Yes, the five spiritual herbs needed for this Five Elements Profound Pill are all in this Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground. I hope Peak Lord Ye can find these five spiritual herb ingredients in the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground and bring them back."

"Oh, I see. It's just that I've never seen these five spiritual herb ingredients before." Even if Ye Kong knew the names of the five spiritual herb ingredients, he probably wouldn't be able to recognize them.

"I was prepared for this."

Yao Zidan conjured up a "Compendium of Exotic Herbs" and handed it to Ye Kong.

"Peak Lord Ye, this is my Pill Forging Sect's ancestral Compendium of Exotic Herbs. It contains records of the five spiritual herb ingredients."

Ye Kong took the "Compendium of Exotic Herbs" and flipped through it casually.

"Peak Lord Ye, you must be careful in this Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground! My Pill Forging Sect has been there before. That place is really not a place for people to stay."

Ye Kong thought that the Pill Forging Sect probably had a psychological shadow after going there last time, which is why they didn't go this time.

"Okay, it's okay, I'll go back first." Ye Kong then turned around and flew away on the wind.

Watching Ye Kong's receding figure, Yao Zidan prayed in his heart, hoping that Ye Kong would really bring back the spiritual herb ingredients and return alive.

In fact, these five spiritual herb ingredients are not so easy to obtain. The five spiritual herb ingredients are distributed in five places in the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground, and those five places have extremely ferocious monsters.

Fifty years ago, Yao Zidan led his disciples into the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground. It was terrifyingly dense, with many beasts and the white bones of the disciples who had entered the Fiend Beast Forbidden Ground before and lost their lives.

The disciples Yao Zidan led at that time were all attacked by some strange beasts on the way, and many died. In the end, only the seriously injured disciples were left, and Yao Zidan had actually found one of the spiritual herb ingredients at that time, but he didn't expect that there would be even more terrifying strange beasts guarding it.

Most of the seriously injured disciples of the Pill Forging Sect lost their lives there, and even Yao Zidan almost lost his life there.
