Chu Qinghuang figured the towering trees might have accumulated over countless years, and since no one else ever entered her space, she had simply let them grow freely. She walked forward, intending to enter the forest to take a look, but after taking a few steps, she was bounced back by a barrier. Touching her slightly aching forehead, she curiously reached out to touch the barrier. To her surprise, a barrier had actually been set up. Just what was hidden inside the forest?
Just as Chu Qinghuang was wondering what was inside the forest, a few lines of characters appeared on the barrier: "A blessed forest; opportunity and danger coexist. Enter with caution. Opening conditions: reach the Golden Core Stage or become a Pill Master."
Chu Qinghuang was left speechless as she looked at the conditions for opening the barrier. She was currently only at Innate Stage 4, and the Golden Core Stage seemed utterly out of reach for her right now. To become a Pill Master, one had to be able to refine at least fourth-tier pills. Chu Qinghuang curled her lips in displeasure and muttered under her breath, "If you don't want to let me in, fine, then don't. Why set such harsh conditions? Calling it a blessed forest—what kind of treasures could a crappy forest possibly have?" When she said this, her tone was full of disdain, little knowing that when she eventually entered the forest in the future, these very words would come back to slap her hard across the face.
