Chapter 254: Great Harvest, Heading to the Thunder Rock Mountains
Seeing the sensibility of Hai Sha and the others, Lin Yan didn't continue bothering them. He took the Nirvana Pills they handed over and stored them in his spatial ring. Then, he began collecting "protection money" from others.
However, five thousand Nirvana Pills is not a small amount. For example, Mo Ling and those with Lin Yan, despite being prominent figures in the Dayan Realm, didn't have much wealth. They could barely gather between one thousand to two thousand Nirvana Pills each. Many of the present warriors were in the same situation, unable to afford the five thousand Nirvana Pills.
To save their lives, some handed over their entire storage bags, showing they truly had no more. Lin Yan accepted these contributions without complaint. Although they were small amounts individually, together they accumulated a considerable fortune.
While collecting the pills, Lin Yan took the opportunity to inquire about the Ancient Key. A warrior at the Grand Perfection level of Creation provided him with the information he knew:
"The location of the Ancient Key is in the Thunder Rock Mountains, not far from Yangcheng. However, those mountains are filled with demonic beasts, some as powerful as half-step Nirvana warriors, and there are even Nirvana-level beasts in the deeper areas."
Lin Yan raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Although he didn't fear Nirvana-level beasts, he knew their demonic cores could provide a large amount of Nirvana energy. If his Nirvana Pills weren't enough, he might consider hunting these beasts.
"Where exactly is it?" Lin Yan asked.
"The specific location is unknown, but according to the information, deep within the mountains, there's a valley called Thunder Rock Valley. It's said to be the training ground of an ancient warrior, who was one of the guardians of the Ancient Treasure. The Ancient Key is hidden there," explained the warrior.
"It's also said that recently, a half-step Nirvana warrior, very skilled in stealth, entered the valley and discovered numerous treasures: martial arts, spiritual herbs, and even a legendary celestial tree. It's said that whoever refines it can become a Celestial Symbol Master, reaching power comparable to that of a Nirvana-level warrior."
Lin Yan showed interest. Since his spiritual power reached the level of Advanced Symbol Master, he hadn't progressed further. If he could reach the level of Celestial Symbol Master, it would be a great advantage for him. Additionally, the spiritual herbs and other treasures would also be useful.
"I will search for that celestial tree. If I find it, it will be of great help to me," thought Lin Yan. "I can also collect spiritual herbs and other valuable items."
Satisfied with the information, Lin Yan let the warrior keep his Nirvana Pills as a reward. The warrior was delighted, knowing he had avoided a great loss.
The other warriors present lamented not being the ones to provide the information. However, Lin Yan didn't worry too much about this. In the end, he had accumulated around thirty thousand Nirvana Pills, but he knew this wouldn't be enough to reach the Nirvana level from his current state.
"What's lacking, I'll get in the Thunder Rock Mountains," he decided.
Without wasting any more time, he led his companions back to Yangcheng to rest. The next morning, they set off for the Thunder Rock Mountains.
The other warriors from Yangcheng were also heading to the mountains, but Lin Yan didn't follow the crowd. Although they took the same path, Lin Yan and his group went at their own pace, using their spiritual power to search for anything useful along the way.
Finally, they arrived at the Thunder Rock Mountains, an imposing place filled with dangerous demonic beasts. While the other warriors felt fear, Lin Yan's eyes shone with excitement, seeing the beasts as future living Nirvana Pills.
