Chapter 0499: The Mystery of the Blood Moon

Qin Yun took Yang Shiyue's words to heart and resolved to focus on utilizing divine abilities in his future cultivation, as they could grant him immense power.

"Your current cultivation momentum is sufficiently strong. I'll teach you how to master the Ultimate Dragon Palm and the Nine Extreme Steps!"

Yang Shiyue took out two booklets, which contained insights she had recorded on her way to Linghuang.

She handed them to Qin Yun and started explaining in detail.

Qin Yun had heard Yang Shiyue explain the Ultimate Dragon Palm and the Nine Extreme Steps before, but this time it was even more comprehensive.

By the time Yang Shiyue finished explaining, it was already late at night.

Qin Yun closed his eyes, absorbing the knowledge that Yang Shiyue had just imparted.

Suddenly, there were exclamations from outside the window.

"Why has the moon turned red?"

"The moon is red as blood—it's terrifying!"

"What does this sudden phenomenon mean?"

Hearing this, Qin Yun and Yang Shiyue quickly went to the window and looked up at the sky.

In the sky was a blood-red full moon, its crimson light shining on the earth, both enchanting and eerie, evoking an inexplicable sense of panic.

"Elder Sister Yang, why is the moon red?" Qin Yun asked, looking at the sky, then turning to Yang Shiyue and noticing her grave expression.

Yang Shiyue said anxiously, "Xiao Yun, I need to go! You've got plenty of Purple Crystal Coins and you're strong enough. I believe you can take care of yourself!"

Qin Yun was about to ask more when Yang Shiyue leaped out the window and flew toward the blood-red moon!

Just as he was about to follow, he heard Yang Shiyue's voice transmission: "Don't follow me—it's too dangerous! I'll explain everything later!"

Holding a booklet, Qin Yun stared blankly as Yang Shiyue vanished into the night sky, filled with worry and confusion.

"Elder Sister Yang, take care of yourself too!" He sighed, feeling a pang of melancholy, and shook his head.

Qin Yun put away the two booklets and took out the Burial Immortal Diagram, which he hadn't used for a long time.

"Let's try a drop of blood!" He dripped his powerful blood onto the Burial Immortal Diagram.

Suddenly, the Burial Immortal Diagram trembled!

"Elder Sister, the Grand Tutor!" Qin Yun quickly infused his spirit into the Burial Immortal Diagram and called out.

"Xiao Yun! You've reached the Ninth Layer Martial Path? That was quick!" Xie Qirou's voice echoed.

"Elder Sister, I made it to Linghuang! When can I go to the Immortal Tomb to search for my mother's soul?" Qin Yun hurriedly asked.

"You've reached Linghuang! That's much sooner than I expected!" Xie Qirou said, "Xiao Yun, don't hurry to Yunlong Mountain Range... the defenses here are stronger now!"

"Yes! I will definitely become stronger quickly!" Qin Yun nodded eagerly.

"Since you're in Linghuang, check this Burial Immortal Diagram periodically. I will contact you regularly!" Xie Qirou chuckled softly, "Your blood has enough energy for us to stay in touch regularly!"

"That's great!" Qin Yun was also delighted.

He was just about to ask about Yang Shiyue when Xie Qirou said, "Little Yun, since you are in the Spirit Wilderness, you must find a way to join an immortal sect next!"

"Immortal sect?" Qin Yun promptly asked.

"Yes, join an immortal sect first! Alright, I will contact you again after some time!" Xie Qirou said, and then there was no more sound.

Qin Yun had no choice but to leave his residence and inquire outside the city.

After some inquiries, he learned that in the Spirit Wilderness, there are five major Immortal Sects, which are very powerful and difficult to enter!

In the Spirit Wilderness, besides the five major Immortal Sects, there are also five star and three moon sects.

The five star sects are the Myriad Stars Sect, Sword Stars Sect, Cold Stars Valley, Star Mountain Island, and the Grass and Trees Star Palace.

The three moon sects are Firemoon City, Darkmoon Palace, and Demonmoon Island, all said to be sects for women.

The five major Immortal Sects are the Medicine Immortal Valley, Immortal Weapon City, Canghuo Immortal Mountain, Demon Immortal Cave, and Sword Immortal Pavilion.

Only disciples of the star and moon sects have the opportunity to take the entrance exam for the Immortal Sects.

Generally, one takes the exam when they reach the Ninth Layer Martial Path, and there is also an age limit, not exceeding fifty years old.

After Qin Yun found out all this, he realized that becoming a disciple of an Immortal Sect was extremely challenging.

Because, first, one must become a disciple of a star or moon sect, and then compete within the sect for a spot to take the Immortal Sect's entrance exam.

It would take at least ten to eight years!

Qin Yun looked at the blood moon in the sky and sighed in resignation.

He felt that if Yang Shiyue were here, she might know a way to enter an Immortal Sect.

The Spirit Wilderness is vast, and even with many powerful sects occupying large areas, there are still many unclaimed lands.

In the Demon Wilderness, there are also many powerful demon sects, such as the Totem Pavilion!

Although the blood moon caused some panic, after dawn, many people soon forgot about it.

When the day broke, Qin Yun walked on the street, preparing to head to a larger city.

After a night of consideration, he decided to first join one of the five star sects, as it would be easier than entering an Immortal Sect, though still difficult.

Qin Yun boarded a flying ship, packed with many passengers in the cabin, heading to an "Ancient Tree City," a city built by the Grass and Trees Star Palace.

The Grass and Trees Star Palace is a sect with a peculiar name, controlling a large river.

It is said that the river is very unique, and plants grow extremely fast on it.

Qin Yun was just curious about this sect, so he decided to take a look.

In the cabin, Qin Yun started a conversation with Uncle Liu, asking about the Grass and Trees Star Palace.

Uncle Liu smiled and said, "The Grass and Trees Star Palace is a subordinate of the Medicine Immortal Valley, mainly providing medicinal herbs to them! It must be said, the Medicine Immortal Valley is quite fortunate to have such a powerful force helping them grow herbs!"

"Uncle Liu, how can one enter the Medicine Immortal Valley faster?" Qin Yun asked curiously.

"Entering the Medicine Immortal Valley is easy, but becoming a disciple there is difficult!" Uncle Liu chuckled. "I used to grow herbs in the Medicine Immortal Valley. If you have a talent for growing, you can go there! They also cultivate some rare mystical herbs themselves!"

Qin Yun's eyes sparkled. He had a Sun and Moon Mystical Bowl in his possession, which was perfect for growing herbs. He had rarely used it before, but now it could finally come in handy.

The Sun and Moon Mystical Bowl was obtained from Xiao Yanglong, and it is a very fine mystical weapon.

Afterwards, Qin Yun inquired further with Elder Liu about specific details, gaining a deeper understanding of how to enter the Medicine Immortal Valley.

Ancient Tree City is a unique city with no buildings, only many enormous trees.

Various shops are located within the hollows of these trees.

Even the Mystic Pattern Hall is situated inside an ancient giant tree.

In the center of Ancient Tree City, a large river flows through, and following this river leads to the Grass and Trees Star Palace floating on the water.

This city filled with super giant trees is not only peculiar but also vast, capable of accommodating millions of people.

The trees in the city are spaced two to three hundred meters apart, and despite their large canopies, they do not intertwine.

Each giant tree is equivalent to a large building, with many hollows inside.

Due to the uniqueness of Ancient Tree City and the Grass and Trees Star Palace selling many medicinal herbs here, the city is very lively.

There are even two Mystic Pattern Halls here.

Qin Yun had previously learned that disciples from various major sects often frequent Ancient Tree City to purchase medicinal herbs.

Some herbs can only be grown by the Grass and Trees Star Palace, so even some immortal sects have to come here to buy herbs.

Because the city is so large, Qin Yun had to hire a spirit crane to fly him to the Grass and Trees Pavilion.

The tree where the Grass and Trees Pavilion is located is the thickest and tallest here, with a diameter of over a hundred meters!

At the base of this tree, there is a large hollow, and inside is a spacious trading hall.

Many people are here trading with the Grass and Trees Pavilion, either purchasing herbs or selling herbs to them, with over a thousand people present, making it very lively.

After entering, Qin Yun searched for a while and finally found a counter.

This counter is specifically for recruiting herb farmers!

The counter is manned by a spirited old man who looked at Qin Yun with some confusion and said, "Young man, do you really want to become a herb farmer? It doesn't seem very suitable for you!"

"I want to become a herb farmer for the Medicine Immortal Valley, is that possible?" Qin Yun asked.

"It is possible, but it's quite difficult! Even to become a herb farmer for the Medicine Immortal Valley, the competition is fierce! If you are truly interested, you need to pay 100 million purple crystal coins to register!" the old man said.

Qin Yun's eyes widened in shock; it actually costs 100 million purple crystal coins!

"Don't think it's expensive! This is the only way for ordinary people to enter an immortal sect, and even being a herb farmer in the Medicine Immortal Valley has many benefits!" the old man chuckled. "Of course, after you register, you will have to go through several rounds of screening before being selected by the Medicine Immortal Valley!"

There is also a Mystic Pattern Hall here, so purple crystal cards are universally accepted. He handed over 100 million to the old man and officially registered.

After registering, he received a jade token and was assigned to the wilderness in the western district of Ancient Tree City for the first round of assessment!

There are indeed many who want to become herb farmers for the Medicine Immortal Valley, with over a hundred people!

Qin Yun and these hundred or so people sat in a hall, waiting for the assessment to begin.

In the end, only one person can become a herb farmer for the Medicine Immortal Valley!

Apart from Qin Yun, the rest are middle-aged and elderly, with some at the Ninth Layer Martial Path and others at the Spiritual Martial Realm!

Some are already experienced herb farmers from other sects, having saved up 100 million purple crystal coins before coming to register.

"There are three rounds of assessment, and only one person can pass in the end!" a white-robed elder walked in and said. "The first round will have you face disciples from the Darkmoon Palace, Firemoon City, and Demonmoon Island, tasked with reviving nearly withered mystical herb seedlings!"

"They previously purchased many mystical herb seedlings from us, but due to poor care, many are on the verge of dying. You can use your skills to heal those seedlings!"
