Sweep Token

Qin Ming began to feel conflicted; on one hand was the Green Steel Grass he could obtain immediately, and on the other was the healing grass for refining the 'heart mending pill'.

The Green Steel Pill only required one stalk of King Kong Grass, and the other auxiliary spirit plants were all eighth-grade and seventh-grade spirit plants, which Qin Ming had already gathered.

Furthermore, the healing grass was a divine medicine for treating his master's Dantian injury and could also improve one's Physique; Qin Ming did not want to give it up either.

He had refined the heart mending pill in his past life, and its effects were Heaven-Defying; Qin Ming had long been looking forward to the heart mending pill.

"Ban Lan, do you know if there are any chests here, golden chests?" Qin Ming asked Ban Lan tentatively.

The Ban Lan Rat thought for a moment and tried its best to express itself in Qin Ming's mind, but the Ban Lan Rat couldn't speak yet; what it transmitted to Qin Ming's mind was just a cluster of consciousness.

After the man and the rat gesticulated wildly for a long time, Qin Ming finally understood what the Ban Lan Rat was trying to convey.

"Are you saying you know where the boxes are, but you can't open them?"

"Squeak squeak!" The Ban Lan Rat nodded its head excitedly.

"It's fine, just lead the way," Qin Ming said.

Soon, the Ban Lan Rat led Qin Ming to a golden chest.

The Ban Lan Rat hopped onto the chest and chirped, trying to open it.

But the chest had no handle at all, and the Ban Lan Rat's claws were too small to exert any force.

"No need to try, you can't open it." Qin Ming patted the Ban Lan Rat to calm it down. "The owner of this Secret Realm must have specially designed these chests to prevent Ban Lan Rats from opening them. Although you've evolved by consuming green Medicinal Pills, you're still so small that you have no way of opening them."

Qin Ming pulled the lid of the chest, and with a bit of force, the chest opened, and he took out the golden secret key from within.

Seeing Qin Ming open the golden chest, the Ban Lan Rat turned its face away angrily, its cheeks puffed out.

Seeing that someone else could open it while it couldn't, the Ban Lan Rat was a bit angry.

"Alright, this Secret Realm was designed this way. If you could open them, the spirit plants here would have probably been eaten clean by you guys long ago," Qin Ming chuckled.

He somewhat understood how this Secret Realm was designed; it was likely intended to test the observation skills of Martial King Disciples while being harassed by Ban Lan Rats.

Among Martial King Rank Magical Beasts, the Ban Lan Rat was the most cowardly. As long as the testing Martial Artists were a little careful, there would definitely be no danger.

"Ban Lan, tell me about all the golden chests you know of." Since Ban Lan knew the way, Qin Ming naturally wanted to take the opportunity to scavenge.

Thus, Qin Ming and Ban Lan began a grand sweep. During this process, Qin Ming also encountered many other Martial Artists.

Some were in groups of three or five, some were alone, and some even invited Qin Ming to travel together, but he refused them all.

There were also those blind enough to think Qin Ming was an easy target because he was alone; they all died at his hands.

Qin Ming didn't like bullying people, but he wouldn't show mercy to those who crossed him.

"Unless there's a Martial King for protection in the canyon, one will definitely be eaten by Ban Lan Rats." Looking at the skeletal remains before him, Qin Ming sighed.

As long as a Martial King was cautious within this canyon, given the cowardly nature of the Ban Lan Rats, safety wouldn't be an issue.

However, although the Ban Lan Rat was at the bottom of the Martial King Rank Magical Beasts, it wasn't something a Martial Spirit could handle, especially its poison; if a Martial Spirit was struck by it and had no antidote, they would undoubtedly die.

"This Secret Realm is a place for Martial Kings to train; any Martial Artist below the Martial King rank who enters will surely die."

Qin Ming thought of the Martial Artists who had swarmed in and shook his head; those who hadn't reached the Martial King rank were probably suffering heavy casualties by now.

Staying in the forest outside and being careful of the hunt by Human Martial Artists should be safe.

But inside this canyon, Ban Lan Rats were everywhere. For Martial Artists below the Martial King rank, surviving was simply too difficult.
