Chapter 336: The Sand Treasure Ground, The Dangerous Inner Ring Riverbed
Su Chen was aware of Qiu Ruo Shuang's noble status and formidable abilities.
However, he never imagined it to be this way.
From Gu Feng's evaluation, the difference in status between himself and Qiu Ruo Shuang might be even greater than the gap between himself and the monkeys and apes.
Upon careful consideration, he realized that Gu Feng's words were indeed true.
The Transformation Realm of the Fourth Stage was not an easy realm to attain.
In Great Zhou, Transformation Realm cultivators were renowned martial artists, and one could even count them all.
Even if Jin State's martial arts foundation was much stronger, it wouldn't be that exaggerated.
For the younger generation to break through the Sixth Stage and enter the Fifth Stage Snowy Intention Realm was already considered remarkable.
Qiu Ruo Shuang was likely in her thirties.
According to Gu Feng's statement, the title of Peerless Prodigy was well-deserved.
Moreover, Qiu Ruo Shuang was currently attempting to transition from the Transformation Realm to the Unification Realm.
Among the various sects of Great Zhou, there was not a single Unification Realm cultivator publicly acknowledged.
Thinking about this gap, it was no wonder she could casually send a Fifth Stage expert to deliver things to Su Chen.
Without relying on her sect, solely depending on herself, Qiu Ruo Shuang still possessed such formidable strength.
"Su Shidi, don't think about these things.
These elite prodigies are rare, even in the entire world.
Even if we encounter them, we wouldn't recognize them, and it's impossible to have the chance to befriend them."
Su Chen nodded, indicating that he understood.
Regardless, he should focus on the present.
What needed consideration now was the Sand Treasure Ground before them.
The group chatted until the end of the hour of the boar, then returned to their rooms to rest, preparing to explore the Sand Treasure Ground the next day.
The people from Heavenly Wind Valley gave Su Chen a different feeling compared to Qiu Ruo Shuang.
Although they were both from Jin State, the people from Heavenly Wind Valley seemed to constantly display an air of superiority.
After a night's rest,
As expected, Heavenly Wind Valley was still as negligent.
They didn't even prepare breakfast, but everyone had brought plenty of food.
Initially, they thought they might not be accustomed to the food here.
But now it seemed that the food they brought was not for fear of not liking the food.
Instead, it was for fear of having no food to eat.
Around 10 AM, Ding Jiujiang arrived with Long Yunyun.
They didn't ask about their accommodations or food.
However, their attitude and tone were still decent, and they followed Ding Jiujiang to the lower side of Heavenly Wind Valley.
Continuing eastward for a stretch,
They had reached the bottom of the canyon.
The canyon was relatively wide, and within it, there was ample sunlight.
However, compared to above, the duration of sunlight was quite different, much shorter.
In the afternoon, when the sun began to slant, it would be mostly blocked by the mountains.
This unique geographical structure made the vegetation here significantly different from the outside.
Some plants that required sunlight but couldn't withstand too much of it took root and sprouted here.
Many of them had valuable medicinal properties.
On the journey, Master Mu couldn't help but ask about his daughter and son-in-law.
Long Yunyun didn't answer, and Ding Jiujiang only gave a few perfunctory responses, saying that they would explain later.
Following the canyon eastward for just over a quarter of an hour, the group arrived at the Sand Treasure Ground.
Near the Sand Treasure Ground, several Heavenly Wind Valley disciples were already there, likely practicing.
While waiting for the official start of the trial, the Sand Treasure Ground would undergo significant changes.
The sand within would become more turbulent, and there would be a stifling oppressive force.
These combined were the true trial of the Sand Treasure Ground.
"Everyone, take a look, this is the outer ring path of the Sand Treasure Ground.
This year, the sand in the river of the Sand Treasure Ground is even more fierce and rapid.
Even many disciples from our Heavenly Wind Valley have given up on the inner ring path's training and chosen to come to this outer ring path.
On the path of cultivation, it's still better to play it safe."
Su Chen looked towards the river not far away.
Within this so-called outer ring path, thick mud and sand flowed.
Such a sight was the first time Su Chen had seen it, and it was quite peculiar.
Within the mud and sand, there were also various large and small stones of different sizes.
Some of the giant stones were even larger than a person.
The techniques of the Heavenly Wind Valley were also of the type that focused on speed.
This Sand Treasure Ground was also a place for tempering a martial artist's body movement skills and strength.
It was evident how high the requirements for one's body movement skills would be when moving through this thick mud and sand.
Ding Jiujiang kept talking as he spoke.
Both openly and subtly, he was telling everyone about the dangers of this training.
After observing these from a high place, Ding Jiujiang led the group to the river and then headed towards a wide cave.
Ding Jiujiang was well aware that just looking and giving a few words of advice wouldn't make Su Chen and the others compromise.
He was now going to lead everyone into this cave.
The cave wasn't very dark. When he looked up, he could see many translucent holes.
Beams of light passed through, making the cave much brighter.
As they followed the cave upwards, it became narrower, and the path also grew narrower.
The river not far away was at most only one-tenth the width of the outer river.
This was the inner ring path, and at the starting point of the inner ring path, there was also a bridge built.
There were also many Heavenly Wind Valley disciples observing on the bridge.
Ding Jiujiang led the group to watch from this spot.
If it weren't for seeing it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe that the mud and sand could flow so turbulently.
The stones mixed in were even splashing around within.
Martial artists with insufficient physical strength might not be able to withstand the impact of these stones.
"The inner bridge is the starting point for the inner ring path's training.
You have to leap down from there and step into the river.
Compared to the outer ring path, you should be able to see the danger here.
Take a look for yourselves and then make your own decisions."
After Ding Jiujiang finished speaking, he seemed ready to leave ahead of the others.
Seeing this, Gu Feng spoke up directly.
"No need for the trouble, Hallmaster Ding.
We've already decided, all of us disciples will participate in the inner ring path's training."
Hearing Gu Feng's words, Ding Jiujiang's mouth twitched involuntarily.
He was clearly a bit unhappy but maintained his composure.
He smiled and said, "Whether you choose the inner or outer ring path, you should think it over again, there's no rush.
You can also tell me tomorrow.
Besides, I have some other matters to attend to. Yunyun, accompany the senior martial brothers, and your grandfather."
As he spoke, Ding Jiujiang stepped out of the cave first, not waiting for the others to respond.
At this moment, the only one accompanying the group was Long Yunyun, the Heavenly Wind Valley disciple.
Mu Quan, the Hallmaster, hesitated and wanted to speak.
He still wanted to get closer to his granddaughter.
But when he saw that he was about to speak, Long Yunyun stepped forward and directly walked onto the inner bridge.
