27: Demon-Suppressing Valley【Please read】

Chen Qi and Han Li carefully explored the residence again; basically, there was nothing overlooked.

It was very complete.

"Junior Brother, since there are no more issues, I'll head back first. If you need anything, you can come find me at my residence," Chen Qi said, looking at Han Li.

Han Li nodded, "Thank you, Senior Sister Chen."

"I'm leaving," Chen Qi nodded slightly, then strode out of the courtyard.

Watching Chen Qi leave, Han Li withdrew his gaze and surveyed his residence once more, then walked into one of the rooms.

"I've officially settled down. Having the identity of a Disciple of a large Sect will make things much more convenient in the future."

Han Li sat on the bed and exhaled.

This journey had brought a great surprise.

Not only did he successfully enter the Qingyuan Sect, but he also had an Peak of the Acquired Realm expert as his master.

The gears of fate had begun to turn.

Life is impermanent!

Calming his mind, Han Li immediately took out the hundred treasure sack from his waist.

A Storage Pouch!

With this item, things would be much more convenient.

With a movement of his True Qi, Han Li immediately opened the hundred treasure sack.

A space as large as a hundred square meters appeared in his mind; this was the Storage Pouch's storage space.

A hundred square meters was quite large.

With a flash of light, Han Li immediately took out the items from the hundred treasure sack.

Three booklets and two bottles of Medicinal Pills.

That was basically it.

Han Li's gaze fell upon the two bottles of Medicinal Pills.

He opened the first bottle, which contained small red pills, as red as blood.

A bottle of Tiger Soul Pill. For the Body Tempering Realm, this was an excellent Medicinal Pill.

There were a total of one hundred Tiger Soul Pills.

After checking them, Han Li put them away and turned his attention to the second bottle.

The second was a small porcelain bottle. Opening it, he found only one Medicinal Pill inside.

It was as white as jade, with special patterns on it.

It looked similar to a Body Tempering Pill, but in reality, this was a Marrow Cleansing Pill.

One Marrow Cleansing Pill.

Adding the Marrow Cleansing Pill he had received as a reward earlier, he now had two in total.

Upon smelling the Medicinal Pill, Han Li felt the Qi and blood within his body stir.

The Marrow Cleansing Pill purifies marrow, strengthens meridians, and enhances the five internal organs and six viscera.

Its medicinal potency was even fiercer.

For an ordinary Body Tempering Realm practitioner below the seventh stage, taking this Medicinal Pill would likely lead to their body being unable to handle the nourishment.

It was like a normal person eating a thousand-year-old ginseng raw; if the body couldn't bear the medicinal power of the thousand-year-old ginseng and was over-nourished, it could even cause harm.

This top-tier Medicinal Pill for the Body Tempering Realm was only suitable for consumption at the eighth or ninth stage.

At that point, there would be no waste, and the medicinal power could be perfectly absorbed, leading to a significant improvement.

Han Li did not take it for now and put it away.

Then, his gaze shifted to the three booklets.

The first one was the Qingyuan Sect's handbook.

It described everything about the Qingyuan Sect, and Han Li read it with great interest.

"Oh, this place..."

As he flipped to a certain page in the handbook, Han Li's eyes suddenly narrowed.

"Demon Suppression Valley!"

"The Qingyuan Sect actually has a place like this!"

Looking at the description in the handbook, Han Li's heart skipped a beat.

According to the handbook, the Demon Suppression Valley was a place deep within the Qingyuan Sect.

Within it, there were many demons.

Han Li looked closely, and his heart couldn't help but pound.

Based on the description in the handbook, the Demon Suppression Valley was very dangerous.

The Demon Suppression Valley had three layers.

Different regions had different levels of demons.

Within the third layer, there were even demons as powerful as Innate experts.

It was a veritable perilous land.

Initially, no one was allowed to enter here, but later that changed. The Sect decided to allow Disciples to enter for trials.

Life-and-death battles with demons could greatly stimulate one's potential.

Thus, it became the Trial Grounds for Disciples.

However, considering some influencing factors, the Sect's experts separately sealed the three-layer passages. Only by reaching a certain strength and breaking the passage Seal could one enter the next layer, which was also for the Disciples' safety.

This way, Disciples could meet the trial standards, stimulate their potential, and also ensure their safety to a certain extent.

As Han Li read the information about the Demon Suppression Valley, he became more and more tempted.

The blood Qi from slaying demons could greatly enhance his own condition, and unlike Medicinal Pills, it didn't require long periods of refining. Absorbing the blood Qi could instantly boost his Physical Body.

So far, Han Li had only killed one Black Goat demon at the very beginning, and never since.

It was truly surprising to him that such a place existed within the Qingyuan Sect's territory.

Killing blood Qi was the only way to enhance the demon seed.

The demon seed's enhancement could give him a significant feedback, boosting his own strength, and perhaps the demon seed had many other incredible abilities that had not yet been developed.

Slaying demons was undoubtedly the fastest way to improve.

After finishing the handbook, Han Li calmed his mind.

He still hadn't forgotten about the Demon Suppression Valley.

"I probably can't go now. My strength is far too lacking. If I encounter a few demons, I might be done for."

After some thought, Han Li suppressed this idea deep in his heart.

He would definitely go, but not now.

Even the first layer of the Demon Suppression Valley was not a place he could roam freely with his current strength.

After all, he would be fighting not wild beasts, but true demons.

Furthermore, he had just joined the Sect. If he went so soon, it would surely raise suspicions.

It wouldn't be too late to go after cultivating diligently for a while and improving his strength.

Haste makes waste.

There were many demons in the Demon Suppression Valley, not just one or two.

The deeper one went, the more numerous and powerful they became.

Without sufficient strength, going there would be courting death.

Although he Cultivated Divine Travel Eight Desolations, his life-saving ability was not a big problem, but he couldn't rely entirely on it.

His own strength was the foundation.

It would be logical to go after improving his strength and waiting for a period of time.

After reading the handbook, Han Li had a very clear understanding of the Qingyuan Sect.

The Qingyuan Sect had thirty-six peaks.

The thirty-six peaks were all main branches of the Qingyuan Sect.

Among them, the most powerful branch was Spirit Sword Peak.

This peak specialized in sword martial arts.

Their swordsmanship was superb, and their strength was also very formidable.

The Disciples of Spirit Sword Peak alone numbered several hundred.

Besides Spirit Sword Peak, there were several other famous ones, such as Pill Refining Peak.

As the name suggested, this peak primarily refined Medicinal Pills.

It was also the peak that supplied Medicinal Pills to the entire Sect.

All the Medicinal Pills for everyone in the Qingyuan Sect came from Pill Refining Peak.

Although Pill Refining Peak was not exceptionally strong, no one wanted to offend it.

If they did, the Alchemists would have plenty of reasons to delay their Medicinal Pills.

Although other peaks also had those who could perform Alchemy, most of them were only auxiliary.

And their Alchemy techniques couldn't compare to the professional Alchemists on Pill Refining Peak.

The Medicinal Pills they refined also couldn't match those from the specialized Alchemists.

As famous Alchemists of Pill Refining Peak, each of them was well-off.

These were also the Treasure Trove of the Qingyuan Sect.

To become a top-tier great Sect, one must also have their own Alchemists.

Cultivating such a group of Alchemists required sufficient heritage and support.

The Materials used for better Medicinal Pills were not ordinary numbers, often costing tens of thousands of silver taels.

Moreover, they weren't guaranteed to be successfully refined.

It was truly a "money-burning" industry.

Countless failures and countless sums of money burned were required to produce an Alchemist.

This was a popular industry.

But not just anyone could do it.

Pill Refining Peak's reputation was also one of the best within the Qingyuan Sect.

Then there was Artifact Refining Peak.

This branch specialized in Artifact Refining.

Forging divine weapons and sharp blades, even Spiritual Artifacts.

Its reputation was also very great.

Besides the thirty-six peaks, there were also distinctions among Disciples.

Outer Gate, Inner Gate, True Disciple!

The three Disciple distinctions were all based on strength.

True Disciples were extremely rare. Even in a great Sect of Qingzhou like the Qingyuan Sect, they didn't grow on trees.

There were only one or two hundred True Disciples.

Innate was the transformation from mortal.

Cultivating to Innate, even if only the Innate First Realm, one could live for two hundred years.

If one reached the Peak of the Acquired Realm, living for three hundred years was not a problem.

Additionally, there were Elders, deacons, and so on within the Sect.

There was also a separate department.

The Hall of Penalties.

This Hall of Penalties was not an ordinary department; it was independent of the thirty-six peaks, and its head was personally appointed by one of the Grand Elders of the Sect.

And the Disciples of the Hall of Penalties were all outstanding individuals.

Their strength was very formidable.

This department was also responsible for enforcing the Sect rules in the Qingyuan Sect. Any Disciple who violated the Sect rules would be handled by the Hall of Penalties.

It didn't matter which branch you belonged to.

Violating Sect rules would invariably result in severe punishment.

Without rules, nothing can be accomplished. If such a large Qingyuan Sect didn't have the Hall of Penalties to deter, it would probably turn chaotic.
