I Know All Negative Effects of Entries in Instances-Chapter 407 - 278: Entry: Evergreen

By now, the sky had already darkened, but the words on the wall opposite continued to glow brightly.

If one were diligent, they could continue comprehending at night.

But comprehension is one thing; the progress bar is moving too slowly.

Thinking this, everyone slumped down, faces filled with displeasure.

"Do you think we can learn this cultivation technique?"

Someone spoke with a look of helplessness.

He felt that it was extremely difficult to learn this cultivation technique.

This Xianxia Dungeon task was truly extraordinarily hard.

Upon hearing these words, the others also showed some dismay.

Earlier, they were quite optimistic, thinking that if they just viewed it a few more times, they could progress the bar quickly.

However, after testing, the few who casually watched to the side saw no progress at all.

From this, they knew that it wouldn’t be as simple as a quick glance to increase the progress bar.

With no shortcuts available, everyone’s faces turned sour.

The people present fell into a sort of silence.

"But no matter what, this cultivation technique has to be learned, right? The ability it grants is so extraordinary, how could we not want it?"

Seeing that everyone seemed a bit disheartened, someone suddenly spoke.

Hearing this, the others collectively turned their gaze to this unactivated entry.

Entry: Evergreen.

Effect: When near a tree, you can rapidly restore your wounds and spiritual power by absorbing the life of the ancient tree.

Negative Effect: This technique is extremely difficult to cultivate and requires countless ages to master.

"Honestly, the so-called negative effect of this entry isn’t really negative. Once mastered, that negative effect essentially disappears."

"Yes, and the effect of this entry is extremely powerful. Once learned, you can just head to the forest whenever you get into a fight or get injured, especially since it can even restore spiritual power, which is incredible!"

"This entry is named ’Evergreen.’ The name really fits, and the ’ever’ probably means ten thousand days, right?"

Everyone looked at the entry before them and spoke with a touch of helplessness.

Who would have thought that this entry would be like this?

They had seen odd entries before, but this was entirely different from anything they’d encountered.

Moreover, the negative effect of this entry was quite peculiar.

It almost fell outside the realm of a negative effect.

Perhaps, this is why the Xianxia Dungeon is so rare?

If other Extraordinary individuals knew entries like this were in the Xianxia Dungeon, it would absolutely attract countless people, eager to enter.

Thinking about this, they looked at the entry in front of them with a mix of unwillingness and helplessness on their faces.

This entry is undeniably excellent, with extremely potent effects, and once learned, the negative effect can be ignored.

Especially now, with the Spiritual Recovery Potions being so expensive.

Once this entry is learned, if you fought beside a grove, you wouldn’t need to worry about injuries or spiritual power depletion and could fight indefinitely, which is utterly unsporting.

It’s essentially like having a spring with you!

Fighting while soaked in its waters—you know the effect.

But the problem is, the method they know to learn this entry requires them to stay here for ten thousand days.

Even if they didn’t sleep, it would still take five thousand days.

They wouldn’t even live that long, not to mention this Dungeon Space wouldn’t give them that much time to cultivate.

This thought naturally made them cringe.

And Zhou Yingting, watching from the side, eyes twinkling.

He glanced at the cultivation technique opposite then lowered his head to his familiar panel. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Seeing the negative effect below the entry, he smirked, quickly suppressing it.

This entry had a negative effect, and that was wonderful.

With the negative effect, he knew how to counter it.

Staying here for over ten hours, he didn’t leave, worried others might notice something after.

Now that everyone was finished testing, he could follow the Golden Finger’s hints to see if he could quickly learn the entry.

According to his Golden Finger’s hints, to learn the entry quickly, he needed to find some ancient texts, study parts of them diligently, then revisit the cultivation technique. This would increase the learning speed significantly.

Unlike previous hints, this time Zhou Yingting saw a prompt with thousands of words.

The texts and combinations needed were overwhelming.

But as long as he could learn this entry quickly, these concerns could be disregarded.

If Zhou Yingting wasn’t mistaken, those texts should be inside the nearby cave.

Thinking this, Zhou Yingting stood up and walked towards the cave.

The others saw this and, puzzled, turned to look at Zhou Yingting.

"Where are you going?"

"Earlier, that Daoist said we could find some texts in the cave. Of course, I’m going to check it out."

"Otherwise, even if I stopped sleeping and did nothing but study the cultivation technique, it would still take five thousand days. I don’t have that sort of time."

The dungeon only allowed ten years, and failing to learn within that was pointless.

Hearing this, the others blinked, then quickly reacted.

Yeah...

The Daoist did mention the texts in the cave before leaving.

If so, perhaps there was something in the cave to help them learn the entry faster.

Thinking this, they quickly moved towards the cave.

Zhou Yingting, seeing this, wasn’t in a rush; just those texts could increase speed a bit.

But overall, some special methods were needed to truly enhance speed.

For example, rearranging several texts in a specific order, then revisiting the cliffside cultivation technique, would immensely increase speed.

However, figuring that out would stump many of them.

With this in mind, Zhou Yingting quickened his pace.

To prevent those important texts from being taken by others.

The group entered the cave and soon saw the rows of bookshelves inside.

The initially excited group froze at the sheer number of texts.

Even Zhou Yingting, who had quickened his pace, paused upon seeing the shelves piled high with books.

The previous worry about books being taken vanished.

The texts in this cave were so abundant—a few thousand chances to find what he needed.

All concerns about others taking the books were almost unfounded.

Seeing this, Zhou Yingting felt relieved.

And those who entered were dumbfounded, overwhelmed by the vast collection of books.

"Are we really supposed to read all these books for our cultivation technique speed to increase?"

"What a joke! I haven’t read in years, yet now I’m supposed to read so many? I’m not a genius!"

The group’s spirits seemed to be breaking.

Their previous determination through the challenges now seemed barely adequate.
