I'm in Yellow Maple Valley, and I have one equipment slot!

Chapter 33 Two Foundation Establishment Pills! Slaughter!

Before long, Zhou Yuan and Han Li had divided up all the magical artifacts piled on the ground.

Zhou Yuan took five-sixths.

Next is the distribution of talismans.

The two didn't bother to choose carefully; they each took half and put it into their storage bags.

Soon, it was the turn of other things.

There were two exquisite wooden boxes among them. Upon opening them, both Han Li and Zhou Yuan were momentarily stunned.

because.

Inside each of the two wooden boxes lay a Foundation Establishment Pill, about the size of a longan with pale golden cloud patterns on its surface!

"Two Foundation Establishment Pills—" Han Li was stunned, and unconsciously swallowed.

He stared at the two pills, his eyes flashing with an uncontrollable longing.

As a pseudo-spiritual root cultivator, his need for Foundation Establishment Pills was stronger than anyone else's.

The more Foundation Establishment Pills you have, the greater your chance of achieving Foundation Establishment!

But he quickly calmed down and muttered to himself, "Both Feng Yue and Duobao have Foundation Establishment Pills. With their aptitude, reaching Foundation Establishment shouldn't be a problem. Why would they risk coming to the forbidden area—"

"Hehe." Zhou Yuan chuckled. "These two are both Qi Refining stage experts from their respective sects. They came to the forbidden area not to compete for Foundation Establishment hopes, but for one purpose only: to kill people from other sects and allow their own sects to obtain the most spiritual herbs."

He paused, then added, "The forbidden area trial, on the surface, is about picking spiritual herbs to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills, but in reality, it is also a contest of strength between the seven sects."

The sect whose disciples bring out the most spiritual herbs will have an advantage in future resource allocation. Elites like Feng Yue and Duobao Nu are the sect's trump card for clearing obstacles.

Upon hearing this, Han Li suddenly understood, gaining a deeper understanding of the cruelty of the cultivation world.

"Senior brother, let's each take one of these." Han Li took a deep breath, suppressing his greed. "I can leave the rest of the materials and spirit stones to myself."

He knew that he hadn't contributed much in the battle, and that getting a Foundation Establishment Pill was already a huge advantage.

Zhou Yuan readily agreed: "Okay, one for each of us."

Zhou Yuan carefully put one Foundation Establishment Pill into his most personal storage bag, and Han Li quickly took the other Foundation Establishment Pill as well.

As for the other items, including spirit stones, materials, and some special items, Zhou Yuan put them all into a storage bag.

"Now we have two Foundation Establishment Pills —"

Zhou Yuan pondered in his heart.

Having two Foundation Establishment Pills in hand and equipping them in the equipment slot greatly increases the probability of Foundation Establishment.

However, Zhou Yuan was still not satisfied.

What if the foundation building still fails?

He looked at Han Li, a half-smile on his face, and asked, "Junior Brother Han, you've already obtained a Foundation Establishment Pill, plus the one you had before. You're not planning to just stay in one place and wait for the exit of the forbidden area to open so you can leave, are you?"

Han Li quickly shook his head: "How could that be? With my aptitude, even two Foundation Establishment Pills wouldn't guarantee a Foundation Establishment success rate—"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yuan smiled and said, "That's good!"

But inwardly, he sighed: To be honest, even with two Foundation Establishment Pills, I'm not entirely confident.

The path to establishing a pseudo-spiritual root is extremely difficult.

Next, Zhou Yuan began to digest the resources he had gained.

First and foremost is the magic artifact, the Cloud-Stepping Boots!

These boots are light blue all over, with cloud patterns embroidered on the upper. They feel light and delicate to the touch, and exude a lively spirit.

Zhou Yuan immediately put it on and infused it with mana.

Buzz—

The boots had a faint bluish sheen on their surface, and a feeling of lightness emanated from beneath one's feet.

He attempted to use the Wind Control Technique, and the next moment—

call out!

His movements were as fast as lightning, covering a distance of four or five zhang in an instant, and in the blink of an eye, he was already more than twenty zhang away!

If it were an ordinary person, they wouldn't be able to see Zhou Yuan running at full speed with the naked eye.

"So fast!" Zhou Yuan thought with delight.

With these Cloud-Stepping Boots, his mobility was greatly increased, giving him more confidence whether he was chasing enemies or escaping to save his life.

Next, he tested Feng Yue's exquisite top-tier defensive magic weapon, the Yellow Silk Umbrella.

After it expanded, a yellow aura enveloped it, forming a light sphere shield about ten feet in diameter.

Zhou Yuan had Han Li test the attack with the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade. The light shield only rippled slightly before blocking all the attacks, demonstrating its astonishing defensive power.

Combined with the exquisite top-tier defensive magic weapon, the Bright Light Armor, which he was wearing, he had double the defense!

With the Golden Armor Technique, Bright Light Armor, and Yellow Silk Umbrella, Zhou Yuan's defenses were maximized.

It is not a problem even when facing attacks from talismans.

As for the talisman dagger, Zhou Yuan did not try it.

The power of a talisman diminishes with each use, so there's no need to waste it on testing.

It is more effective to use it unexpectedly when facing a truly formidable enemy.

Han Li, standing to the side, looked on with envy.

But he was content.

I realize I got lucky to be in this team!

Without Zhou Yuan as a teammate, Feng Yue and Duo Bao Nu would probably be formidable enemies that he would find difficult to deal with.

Especially Feng Yue's talisman-treasure dagger, its speed is too fast to defend against.

"Let's go, it's time to move on," Zhou Yuan said to Han Li, putting away his magical artifact.

After resting, the two set off again.

Within the forbidden area.

The first day of killings ended with a significant decrease in the number of victims.

Originally, the seven sects had a total of nearly two hundred Qi Refining disciples, but now at least half of them have been killed or injured.

South of the central area lies a place filled with yellow sand.

Two disciples of the Hidden Moon Sect, a man and a woman, were repeatedly stabbing the sand with ice spikes in a small area, seemingly searching for something.

However, after half a day, they still hadn't found anything.

"Where has that bitch gone! When I find her, I'll gouge her eyes out!"

The female disciple was originally very beautiful and charming.

But when he opened his mouth, he uttered extremely vicious and cruel words that sent chills down the man's spine.

"Junior sister, let's forget it! It's almost time for our sect's appointment. If we don't leave now, we'll be late!"

The male disciple spoke somewhat timidly, seemingly quite afraid of his junior sister.

"Hmph! It's all your fault, you good-for-nothing! You couldn't even keep an eye on a little girl at the tenth level of her cultivation technique. If word gets out, people will laugh at my sister and me, the Twin Beauties of Hidden Moon!"

The woman grew angrier as she spoke, "Honestly, how could our sect let such a good-for-nothing as my cultivation partner!"

The male disciple blushed deeply after being reprimanded, and lowered his head, not daring to argue back.

"snort----"

As she left, the woman was still somewhat unwilling.

She took out a blue talisman, infused it with magic, and tossed it into the air—

The talisman transformed into a giant black cloud, tens of feet in size!

From the dark clouds, countless glittering, enormous icicles fell, gradually increasing in speed.

In no time, they had filled this small area with them.

After a short while, the dark clouds gradually dispersed.

At this moment, the entire sandy area was crystal clear, with sharp icicles everywhere.

The female disciple opened her eyes wide and scanned the almost barren sandy ground, but found nothing unusual.

Her face darkened with resentment, and she snapped at the male disciple before turning away in a huff.

Unbeknownst to her, in a corner of the sandy ground, where icicles were scattered everywhere, a thin trickle of crimson liquid was seeping out.

It was just too understated, so it escaped the female disciple's notice.

Half an hour later, as the crimson color began to expand, a small, round mound suddenly appeared in the yellow sand, growing larger and more noticeable.

Finally, the sandbag tumbled violently, and a woman in a green shirt rolled out of it.
