Chapter 598 The Forest of Death
"Girl, what kind of injury did he suffer? Won't healing pills work?"
The woman shook her head: "The doctor examined his injuries. He not only had injuries, but he was also poisoned by cold poison. Even an eighth-level alchemist could only suppress it temporarily."
Hearing that even an eighth-level alchemist could only temporarily suppress the poison for him, everyone fell silent.
Someone else asked curiously, "Did the eighth-level alchemist say what kind of pill or treasure would be needed to save his life?"
The woman hosting the event looked up at a spot upstairs, then quickly looked away.
"The eighth-level alchemist also said that the only way to cure the cold poison in his body is to use an eighth-level cold-dispelling pill personally refined by the little genius Zhong Ran, or a treasure like the ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, to solve his problem in one fell swoop."
The solution has been provided, but neither the Ten Thousand Year Spirit Milk nor the Eighth-Order Cold-Dispelling Pill can achieve this at present.
There was indeed some ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk at the auction, but the price was so high that the person simply couldn't afford that many spirit stones.
As for asking Zhong Ran to refine a cold-dispelling pill?
Not to mention that Zhong Ran is only a seventh-level alchemist and cannot refine eighth-level pills yet.
For example, if you ask Zhong Ran to refine a pill, the price is not much lower than a drop of ten-thousand-year-old spiritual milk, and you also need to prepare three portions of spiritual medicine yourself.
Eighth-grade spiritual medicine, three portions of it, how could he possibly produce that?
Therefore, he could only take out a Black Phoenix Blood Orchid, hoping to exchange it for a pill that could temporarily suppress the symptoms.
Zhong Ran silently looked at the Black Phoenix Blood Orchid on the stage. It was an eighth-grade spiritual herb, but it didn't hold much appeal for her.
But she was very interested in the place where this black phoenix blood orchid was born.
After hesitating for a moment, she looked at Mu Jinning beside her and Zhong Yan not far away.
"Ah Jin, Xiao Yan, I want to go see that Forest of Death."
Chairman Song and his two old men immediately objected: "Xiao Ran, you can't."
President Teng explained with a solemn expression, "The name 'Forest of Death' isn't given lightly; even we don't dare to go in casually."
Chairman Song also said, "It's very strange inside. Old Jin and I went in before. There seemed to be an extremely profound formation inside, but even Old Jin couldn't see through it."
"It's extremely gloomy and dark inside. Once you go in, you're controlled by a special force field, making it impossible to find your way out."
"It's fraught with danger inside. Nine out of ten people who go in never come out. That's why it's called the Forest of Death."
President Jin also said, "Xiao Ran, don't take this lightly. The former president of the Array Master Guild, an eighth-level array master, was unwilling to accept defeat and went into the Forest of Death to train and explore. As a result, he was never heard from again."
Zhong Ran was intrigued when she heard about the special force field and the possibility of formations.
Others might not be able to go, but she really wanted to try.
Mu Jinning held her hand and said softly, "If you want to go, I will go with you."
“Sister, I’ll go with you too,” Zhong Yan said.
Ah Sheng replied in a muffled voice, "Wherever my sister goes, Ah Sheng will go."
Bai Zi nodded repeatedly, "Sister, we'll go with you."
The others didn't speak, but their eyes conveyed the same meaning.
Zhong Ran was silent for a moment before saying, "There's no rush for now, but we can ask for the address first and go there when we have time."
She wanted to go to Thunder City first and advance to the Nascent Soul Realm before making any further plans.
With higher cultivation levels and greater strength, one has more means to protect oneself.
Even these seniors are so wary of her, so she still needs to be mentally prepared.
"I want this Black Phoenix Blood Orchid." She said leisurely, her voice distorted as it traveled down through the sound transmission array, not her original voice.
The once quiet meeting room suddenly erupted in uproar.
She took it.
In other words, she can provide the suppression or life-saving tools that the other party needs.
Hearing this, the woman in charge breathed a sigh of relief and waved her hand gently. The maid then carried the Black Phoenix Blood Orchid away.
"Everyone, the matter of the Blood Orchid of the Ink Phoenix is temporarily left as is. Our Azure Dragon Chamber of Commerce will follow up on this matter later."
"Next up is the Ice Soul Frost Pearl."
The woman turned slightly to the side, and a maid came up behind her carrying a tray.
The tray contained a transparent box, inside which was a bead about the size of an adult's fist.
The bead was a transparent block of ice, and even from a distance, people could still feel the icy chill emanating from it.
"The Ice Soul Frost Pearl is a valuable item, but not everyone can use it, so the auctioneer should be cautious."
"But the item is of excellent quality, with a starting bid of ten million high-grade spirit stones."
Treasures like the Ice Soul Frost Pearl can only be used by ice-type cultivators. Even if ordinary people obtained them, they would not only be useless to them, but might also be injured by them.
Zhong Ran looked at the Ice Soul Pearl below, a fiery glint in her eyes.
After she accidentally condensed ice spiritual energy because of a two-colored ice and fire lotus, she never encountered any ice-type treasures again.
Her subsequent cultivation only required spiritual energy to advance her cultivation level, so she didn't specifically look for ice-type treasures over the years.
Now that she's had such a rare opportunity, she doesn't want to miss it.
Bidding erupted below, the price had already reached fifty million high-grade spirit stones.
There are actually quite a few ice-type cultivators, but similarly, ice-type treasures are very rare.
Just like Song Xiaoyan's Wind Spirit Body, it is also very difficult to find suitable resources for cultivation.
She stated directly: "One hundred million top-grade spirit stones."
Everyone was numb when they heard her voice.
Others only bid 50 million high-grade spirit stones, but she immediately bid 100 million top-grade spirit stones. Can't we even have a pleasant time playing around?
Chairman Song and his companions were also shocked. Had they heard correctly? She wanted the Ice Soul Pearl?
But she is clearly an alchemist.
Although some people have multiple spiritual roots, it is rare for two conflicting spiritual roots to be combined in one.
Of course, it's rare, but that doesn't mean it's nonexistent.
But those kinds of cultivators are generally mediocre and their talent isn't particularly high.
Zhong Ran is different; she's a genius known throughout the entire continent.
Her fire elemental root is exceptionally outstanding; how could someone like that possibly have an ice elemental root?
They carefully observed the people around her, and none of them had ice spirit roots.
So, what use does she have for this Ice Soul Frost Pearl?
Although shocked and suspicious, the three of them didn't ask anything, but their eyes were filled with a deeper scrutiny as they looked at Zhong Ran.
Zhong Ran's cultivation level and strength have always been a mystery, mainly because she is shrouded in mystery, making it impossible for people to see through her and know what kind of cultivation and strength she possesses.
chaos!
The three of them trembled simultaneously, as if they had realized something, and when they looked at her again, their eyes were different.
Zhong Ran had no idea that these three old guys were having so much internal monologue, nor did she care what they thought. She just looked at the Ice Soul Pearl below.
