Seeking Fortune and Avoiding Evil in the Cultivation World Chapter 1122 - 544: Easy Crossing the Tribulation, Obtaining a Second-Grade Opportunity (2)

The final Void Refining Cultivator tried fleeing into the void, yet the golden light net from the Great Sun Buddha Mirror blocked his path. Upon touching it, the net burst into flames, ensnaring him in a fiery web that reduced him to ashes, erasing every bit of evil qi.

Within mere breaths, all three Blood River Sect Void Refining Cultivators met their end.

They couldn't put up any resistance whatsoever.

Normally, handling them wouldn't have been this straightforward.

But the Great Sun Buddha Mirror's power perfectly countered these Blood River Sect cultivators, making their deaths as effortless as butchering chickens.

"No sign of destiny’s warning at all, which means they truly weren't a threat to me."

Jiang Fan arched his brow.

Truth be told, destiny’s warnings don't trigger constantly.

They only emerge during critical shifts in fate or moments of mortal peril.

Minor sudden threats like these posed no real harm to him and weren't pivotal fate changes, so destiny stayed silent.

Boom~~

Suddenly, a notification flooded into the depths of his consciousness sea: "You faced three Blood River Sect Void Refining Cultivators. After an intense fight, you barely triumphed by slaying them, earning fifty million Luck Points and a Second-Grade Opportunity."

Feeling this alert, Jiang Fan felt deeply pleased.

Even without a destiny signal, this counted as a trial.

Thus, he could still absorb their destiny, reaping a massive haul of Luck Points.

Clearly, the destiny carried by these three Blood River Sect Void Refining Cultivators was hefty, yielding fifty million Luck Points for him.

Without his intervention, they might have lingered a while longer.

Regrettably, crossing paths with him and daring to attack sealed their doom.

"Does this Second-Grade Opportunity refer to the spirit medicines in this Medicinal Garden?"

Jiang Fan lifted his brow again.

He detected the Second-Grade Opportunity lurking within this Medicinal Garden.

Only after eliminating those three Blood River Sect Void Refining Cultivators could he access it freely.

And claim the concealed prize inside.

Yet, a nagging unease about this Medicinal Garden persisted, an ominous vibe that wouldn't fade.

Hence, he refrained from charging in to harvest the spirit medicines.

"Destiny Warning: Avoid picking the spirit medicines in this Medicinal Garden; they've been tainted by a bizarre force. Consuming them will lead to parasitization by this force, turning you into its puppet.

Thankfully, a Space Ring from the Ancient Era lingers in the garden, holding numerous treasures to boost your cultivation progress."

Right then, fresh destiny warning pierced into the core of Jiang Fan’s consciousness sea.

"As expected, something's off with this Medicinal Garden."

Jiang Fan narrowed his gaze.

He could picture the grim end awaiting cultivators entering Cangwu Immortal Mansion.

Those cultivators probably remained oblivious to the spirit medicines' corruption.

Should they ingest them, the strange power would swiftly corrupt them.

Besides, with such enticing rewards, resisting the urge proved nearly impossible for most.

Failing that resistance meant instant transformation into grotesque puppets, leading to swift demise.

Cangwu Immortal Mansion had morphed into a deadly snare.

Little surprise it lacked proper assessments anymore.

The strange power must have warped the mansion's original formations.

Still, how exactly to purge Cangwu Immortal Mansion's anomaly?

"The moment hasn't arrived."

Jiang Fan mulled it over further.

He believed Cangwu Immortal Mansion's mystery would eventually unravel.

Since destiny hadn't highlighted it yet, the timing wasn't ripe.

When it does, that'll be the chance to cleanse the mansion's strangeness.

For now, patient waiting sufficed.

In the meantime, he could seize Cangwu Immortal Mansion's opportunities to rapidly elevate his cultivation.

Though numerous spirit medicines in Cangwu Immortal Mansion stood polluted, plenty of opportunities endured.

Securing a handful would propel his cultivation forward dramatically.

Swoosh!

With that thought, Jiang Fan plunged straight into the Medicinal Garden without delay.

Quickly, he unearthed a Space Ring concealed beneath the soil.

This Space Ring lay buried profoundly, undetectable sans destiny’s guidance.

Furthermore, the Medicinal Garden felt utterly safe, untouched for countless years.

Yet the more ordinary it seemed, the more horrifying the Medicinal Garden's reality grew.

Regular cultivators could seize these spirit herbs without spotting any oddities.

"Hmm? Tier Six Elixirs from the Ancient Era—the Purple Mist Soaring Dragon Pill."

"Sealed using Life Source Stone, no less."

"That keeps their medicinal potency intact even after billions of years."

"Perhaps some Void Refining Cultivator from the Ancient Era left them behind?"

Jiang Fan probed the treasures within the Space Ring and uncovered five bottles of Tier Six Elixirs, each the famed Purple Mist Soaring Dragon Pill.

Legend holds that their core components—Purple Mist Spiritual Liquid and Soaring Dragon Grass—pack millennia of potent medicine, making them incredibly rare; even a typical Void Refining Cultivator would burn through a massive fortune to obtain one.

Five whole bottles of Purple Mist Soaring Dragon Pills existed here, three pills in each, amounting to fifteen in total.

One could easily grasp their staggering value.

Besides the elixirs, three thousand Immortal Stones filled the storage as well.

Rich Immortal Spirit Qi saturated the space.

This alone showed the immense wealth of the Space Ring's previous master.

After so many years, though, that owner had probably crumbled to dust.

Even if alive somehow, ascension to the Immortal Realm was likely their fate.

Regardless, all these riches now fell to him.

"These Tier Six Elixirs will propel me to Sixth-Layer Void Refining in no time."

"Maybe just a single year away."

Jiang Fan balled his fists, surging with exhilaration.

Refining the Profound Yellow Fruit's power alongside these extra Tier Six Elixirs would skyrocket his cultivation speed.

He'd used few Tier Six Elixirs before, so these wouldn't spark any resistance and would boost his progress immensely.

Besides, in a perilous spot like Cangwu Immortal Mansion, boosting his cultivation meant far better odds of survival.

Greater power simplified conquering threats.

"Cangwu Immortal Mansion endures for at least a decade, and we're only at the start."

"No hurry—time to seclude myself and cultivate properly."

Jiang Fan's form blurred into motion.

He swiftly departed the Medicinal Garden, locating a secluded cave on a nearby mountain peak.

There, he hid away, slipped into the Exquisite Tower's inner realm, and commenced seclusion.

......

Meanwhile, far inside Cangwu Immortal Mansion, a white-robed elder materialized, gripping a verdant staff.

Yet his eyes resembled bottomless voids, with gray mist cloaking his frame.

Dark tendrils bound his whole body.

He resembled a puppet utterly controlled.

This was Cangwu Immortal Mansion's Mansion Spirit.

His awareness swept across every inch of Cangwu Immortal Mansion then, detecting all intruders—including Jiang Fan.

To him, however, Jiang Fan ranked as a mere average Void Refining Cultivator, utterly negligible.

With droves of Void Refining Cultivators flooding in, he barely registered.

"Excellent—plenty of cultivators breached the mansion this round."

"Devouring their flesh and souls lets me fully claim Cangwu Immortal Mansion's authority."

"Curse you, Mansion Spirit; your end draws near."

"This domain will soon bow to me—mark my words."

The white-robed elder crowed in triumph.

He yearned to wipe out every entering cultivator in an instant, if he could.

Alas, the Mansion Spirit yet clung to life.

Its opposition forced a cautious approach.

Why bother with plots otherwise? He'd simply massacre them.

Most of his strength went toward suppressing the Mansion Spirit, crippling direct action.
