Rise to God with Life Skill Professions-Chapter 525 - 514: What Are the Forbidden Area Rules

Chapter 525: Chapter 514: What Are the Forbidden Area Rules

The courtyard was quiet, with a gentle breeze causing the withered tree in the corner to tremble slightly.

The last few leaves on the withered tree slowly fell to the ground with the breeze.

When Zhu Xueshuang said this, Qin An slightly narrowed his eyes.

He was unclear about the constraints involved, but it seemed from Zhu Xueshuang’s words that even the Evil Extermination Bureau was restricted by the current situation, unable to deploy its full force to plunder the resources in the Forbidden Area.

However, this was not Qin An’s concern.

Qin An was more interested in what Zhu Xueshuang had just mentioned about the rules of the Forbidden Area.

Thinking of this, Qin An asked.

"Lord Zhu, please explain, what are the rules of the Forbidden Area?"

The next task was related to the Forbidden Area, so Qin An needed to know what the rules of the Forbidden Area were.

Zhu Xueshuang paused slightly, then gently explained, "The so-called rules of the Forbidden Area are actually quite simple. When the Forbidden Area has been plundered to a certain extent, it will prohibit further entry. After some time, everything in the Forbidden Area will restore, including all dangers and rare treasures inside."

Qin An frowned slightly, "If so, this Forbidden Area might yield greater rewards than the Ancient Battlefield ruins."

The Ancient Battlefield ruins also had this characteristic, but Qin An believed that the Ancient Battlefield ruins could not compare with the Forbidden Area.

In the past, when he was in Xunyang Prefecture, he had also entered the Ancient Battlefield ruins, and here he entered the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak with Wu Yunfeng once.

Comparing the two, Qin An felt that there were more good things in the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak.

Moreover, this Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak seemed to be more targeted.

Qin An suddenly thought of the word targeted and asked, "Lord Zhu, are all Forbidden Areas targeted towards specific effects?"

For example, the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak specifically targets things related to poison.

Zhu Xueshuang nodded and said, "You’re very smart, you guessed correctly. You said earlier that the Ancient Battlefield ruins are inferior to the Forbidden Area, but that’s not true. The Forbidden Area is very targeted, while the Ancient Battlefield ruins encompass everything. Comparatively, the Ancient Battlefield ruins are of greater importance."

Qin An nodded, "If so, it is indeed as Lord Zhu said."

The all-encompassing Ancient Battlefield ruins make it somewhat simpler to acquire things inside.

But the Forbidden Area is more extreme.

For example, the Ten Thousand Poison Cloud Peak has extreme toxicity, and if one is looking for things related to poison, perhaps going to the Ancient Battlefield ruins would be better.

However, Qin An felt that this Forbidden Area was indeed mysterious enough.

The rule Zhu Xueshuang mentioned was definitely not something that human power could resolve.

Seeing Qin An still pondering, Zhu Xueshuang did not disturb him, instead pouring herself a cup of tea and taking a slight sip.

As she drank the tea, she couldn’t help but feel some emotion.

If she had gone to find Qin An today, perhaps at Qin An’s place, she wouldn’t be able to drink tea either.

But she cleverly asked Qin An to come to her, allowing her to sip clear tea.

In Zhu Xueshuang’s view, for such solemn matters, having a sip of tea creates a better atmosphere.

Everyone has quirks.

The people of the Evil Extermination Bureau have even more quirks, which can be more extensively extended.

Cultivators and Pseudo-Gods more or less have some quirky habits infinitely magnified.

Zhu Xueshuang’s quirk is that whenever something serious happens, she must drink a little tea, otherwise, it will feel lacking something.

After a long while, Qin An’s expression gradually returned to normal, and he asked.

"Lord, tell me about this mission."

He has almost learned about the matters of the Forbidden Area.

Since that’s the case, it’s time to discuss serious business.

After finishing this major task, Qin An could also gather enough achievements, and after accumulating enough merits, he might not have to take on tasks for a long time, but instead focus on advancing the Array Master and Pill Master professions to level seventeen before cultivating the Scholar profession.

Bringing the Scholar profession to the next qualitative transformation could push his own strength to Great Success of Shattering Void Realm.

By then, Qin An could be considered invincible in the Void Shattering Realm, with some self-preservation power.

Zhu Xueshuang nodded and began explaining the task, "This time, the destination is a medium-sized Forbidden Area called the Gangfeng Mountain Range."

"The so-called Gangfeng Mountain Range is full of things related to the Wind attribute, both resources and other dangers are all related to the Wind attribute."

"As for why we are going to the Forbidden Area and what to do there, a treasure named the Heart of Gangfeng was discovered in the Gangfeng Mountain Range by one of our members."

"If we obtain it, it can command all Wind attribute Cultivation Techniques under the heavens."

"Of course, there’s some exaggeration here, but if obtained, all Wind attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Element Transformation Realm could be practiced smoothly and without hindrance."

Saying this, Zhu Xueshuang took another sip of her tea.

Qin An pondered slightly, already understanding the specific purpose of this mission in his mind.

Since it is a treasure, it certainly cannot be handed over to others.

Moreover, this Wind attribute treasure can significantly enhance the cultivation progress of Wind attribute Cultivation Techniques in the Element Transformation Realm.

And from Zhu Xueshuang’s words, it seemed this treasure was not limited to a single person’s use.

If the Evil Extermination Bureau could obtain it, then all members cultivating the Wind attribute within the bureau would benefit greatly.

Zhu Xueshuang continued, "The Evil Extermination Bureau has even made plans, if we get the Heart of Gangfeng, a detailed contribution process will be set up, allowing access to the Heart of Gangfeng according to achievements."

"Therefore, this item is very important, and this time, we might not only face the dangers in the Gangfeng Mountain Range but also many Wind attribute related monsters, Pseudo-Gods, and even human forces will enter it as well."

"This involves the unspoken rule I mentioned to you. The Evil Extermination Bureau will not prohibit their entry."

Qin An rubbed his chin and said, "If that’s the case, this journey is very complex?"

It involves not only monsters and Pseudo-Gods but also human cultivators and the Evil Extermination Bureau.

Qin An felt that this mission could be very challenging.

Zhu Xueshuang nodded, "Precisely because it’s very difficult, this mission involves not only our actions but also other Silver Dao Marshals going together, this is the information about the Gangfeng Mountain Range, take it back and study it, we will set off in no more than three days."

A letter was pushed by Zhu Xueshuang towards Qin An.

"I can’t tell you more information about the Forbidden Area for now. You can only come to me after completing relevant tasks, or you can visit the higher levels of the Confidential Library if you reach the level of Silver Dao Marshal."

Qin An asked, "Actually, I’ve always had a question. Why don’t they let the Bronze Dao Marshals know about this information?"

Qin An was very puzzled.

Logically, telling the Bronze Dao Marshals about this secret shouldn’t pose any danger.

After saying this, Lord Zhu shook his head and said meaningfully.

"If an ordinary Bronze Dao Marshal learns about the Forbidden Area, or even knows there’s a Forbidden Area where he can enhance himself specifically, what do you think he would do?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Qin An immediately understood.

Even if such a situation were true, even someone with a pure mind might not withstand the temptation and secretly head to the Forbidden Area.

If this were true, it could disrupt the rules of the Evil Extermination Bureau.

As for why it requires the level of a Silver Dao Marshal, Qin An also understood the reason.

Most Silver Dao Marshals are busy with official duties and have no leisure time to visit the so-called Forbidden Area.

Qin An put away the document and stood up, saying, "In that case, I’ll take my leave for now."

There are still three days left, which can be used to continue refining the Array Master profession.

Of course, understanding the so-called Gangwind Mountain Range is a prerequisite.

Lord Zhu, knowing Qin An’s indifferent personality, didn’t stop him and waved him off.

Qin An, without saying much, turned and left Lord Zhu’s courtyard.

Once Qin An’s figure disappeared at the end of the courtyard, footsteps echoed inside.

Li Moyun, dressed in a dark robe, slowly approached and unceremoniously sat beside Lord Zhu, falling into silence.

Lord Zhu asked, "Mr. Li, did you find what you were looking for?"

Before Qin An arrived, Li Moyun had visited once.

He said he wanted to see Qin An’s current state but wouldn’t reveal his identity.

Lord Zhu, of course, knew what this meant.

This indicated that Qin An had not yet reached a level where Li Moyun could be straightforward with him.

However, Lord Zhu was also curious about what Li Moyun had observed.

Li Moyun paused briefly and said, "He’s extraordinary. All his cultivation techniques seem to have reached the Void Shattering Realm."

For a Golden Dao Marshal, this insight was entirely possible, capable of discerning a person’s level from the slightest details.

This was something the Silver Dao Marshal, Lord Zhu, couldn’t do.

Lord Zhu, surprised by this statement, said, "If that’s true, his future potential is unparalleled, but it’s somewhat unfortunate."

"What’s unfortunate?" Li Moyun suddenly asked.

Lord Zhu replied, "If he focused on a few areas or just one, his power would be even stronger now."

"No, you’re mistaken," Li Moyun shook his head and said.

"Before coming here, I visited Chen Liuyun. You know, Chen Liuyun is the General Mansion of Xunyang Prefecture. He told me what he knows about Qin An, which greatly surprised me."

"Qin An not only has immense potential but also has extraordinary talent and skills in blacksmithing, array mastery, pill mastery, and medicine."

Upon hearing this, Lord Zhu widened her eyes, "How is that possible?"

In her view, a person’s energy was too limited.

Even the top geniuses she’s seen only mastered one or two additional skills.

But for Qin An to excel in such a comprehensive way to this level was terrifying.

Li Moyun shook his head, "That’s the reality. Therefore, my focus on him has deepened. However, everything depends on him surviving to enter the Element Transformation Realm. Only then might he qualify to be involved in many matters."

Lord Zhu fell silent.

She understood what Li Moyun meant but chose not to delve deeper, instead changing the topic and asking.

"I’ve heard that recently the Alchemy Master Alliance also has enmity with Qin An?"

Li Moyun nodded and said, "I’m aware of this matter. Let’s leave it to Qin An to handle. Of course, if the other party goes too far, you should intervene a little."

Lord Zhu agreed.

Li Moyun did not linger any longer and turned to leave the courtyard.

The courtyard soon fell into an eerie silence.

Lord Zhu once again picked up the document to review.

...

Alchemy Master Alliance.

The Alliance Hierarch and Zhang Tianyi sat on chairs, neither spoke.

However, the gloominess on their faces deepened.

After some time, Zhang Tianyi couldn’t hold back anymore, slapped the table, and said gloomily.

"Alliance Hierarch, you must offer an explanation or plan. Otherwise, if this continues, more alchemical forces will snatch the business from the Alchemy Master Alliance. By then, how will the alliance make money?"

The Alliance Hierarch’s face alternated between green and white.

With each sentence Zhang Tianyi spoke, the gloom on his face deepened.

After Zhang Tianyi finished his last sentence, the Alliance Hierarch took several deep breaths.

"Pill King, I understand your urgency, but haste makes waste. I’m already working on a solution."

Zhang Tianyi slapped the table, "You keep talking about solutions. You need to present a plan. If you can’t provide one, we will follow mine."

The Alliance Hierarch, having endured Zhang Tianyi’s actions, looked even more somber but still controlled his temper and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

Zhang Tianyi sneered and said, "It’s simple, kill Qin An!"
