Chapter 160: Secret Realm

After five days in the forest, Li Pan and the Wang Family had been fighting every day, from which she had learned a great deal of battle experience. This forest was a spontaneously emerging Secret Realm, extremely dangerous, but indeed replete with valuable items.

Currently, it was for public use; entering alone would require a significant fee, and 40% of the medicinal materials and Crystal Cores gathered had to be surrendered.

The generosity was due to the extreme danger inside; the high rate of casualties made it necessary to charge entry fees to alleviate the public finance crisis and to ensure that more people could eat their fill. Having money was essential to buy food and medicinal materials.

Additionally, they needed better Spiritual Medicine for refining potions. Noble families controlled potion making but were also required to contribute a portion of their potions to the public, a share intended for ordinary soldiers. After all, one cannot cook without rice.
