Seeing Xue Wen calling Wandong "big brother" so affectionately, those Xue Wen's subordinates were even more attentive, rushing to lead the way, all with smiles on their faces, like steamed and exploded steamed buns.
Wan Dong was quite disgusted with the flattery of Xue Wen and others at first, but when he thought of what Ping Sihai said, his mind changed. Ping Sihai once said that in the secret realm of the ancient mountains, it is most difficult for a person to live alone. It's not that Wandong is afraid of death, but he has caused a lot of trouble just after he set foot in the secret realm of the ancient mountain, which made him realize that it may not be possible to improve his cultivation level without anyone noticing. Now that we have come to the secret realm of the ancient mountain, we will inevitably have to deal with the immortals. As long as he does not give up his principles and bottom line, it is conceivable that he will definitely have more and more troubles.
Before Dingshanwei and his friends from the Taoist sect came to Xianting, it seemed quite necessary to pull up a temporary team of troops for dispatch. Furthermore, Wandong still has no way to truly reach Xianting, so he can obtain the resources of Xianting through these people.
Thinking of this, Wandong suddenly thought of something, and asked Xue Wen with some doubts, "At that time, you were being chased by Song Po and others and were in a desperate situation. Why didn't you temporarily leave the secret realm of the ancient mountain to escape?"
"Brother, please stop making fun of me. Who is I? How can I compare with you? How can I have such a thing as the Return to the City Dharma Stone?" Xue Wen thought Wandong was deliberately teasing him, with a look of embarrassment on his face. said with a wry smile.
"Returning to the city magic stone?" Wan Dong was stunned for a moment, with a look of confusion on his face.
"Brother, you don't even know what the return stone is, do you?" Xue Wen was greatly surprised by Wandong's expression. The experience shown by Wandong was really out of proportion to his astonishing combat power.
Seeing Wandong shaking his head, Xue Wen asked again, "Then... do you know about the tiger bone talisman?"
Wan Dong still shook his head, but this time Xue Wen's eyes widened, and his face was full of endless surprise. "How did you come from the Immortal Court to the secret realm of the ancient mountain without the tiger bone talisman?"
"From the Immortal Court to the Secret Realm of the Ancient Mountain, aren't gems used?"
"Gem? Who did you hear that from?" Xue Wen became more and more confused. If he didn't know Wandong's power, he would have scolded Wandong. Wandong's behavior makes it hard to escape the suspicion of playing tricks on him. .
Wandong couldn't stand it anymore. Although Xue Wen concealed it well, his eyes still looked like he was looking at an idiot. Wandong's face suddenly darkened, and he said coldly, "I don't need the tiger bone talisman and the return magic stone. I can still freely enter and exit the secret realm of the ancient mountain. You don't have to ask so many questions. Now you just explain to me what tiger bone is." Talisman, what is the return magic stone?"
Wan Dong was definitely not pretending to be cool on purpose, he just didn't want Xue Wen to look at him like that again. But as everyone knows, when he said these words, Xue Wen shuddered several times in his heart, and at the same time, he felt that Wandong was mysterious and unpredictable! You don't need tiger bone talismans and return magic stones, but you can freely enter and exit the secret realm of the ancient mountain. Needless to say, there must be another secret method! What kind of background does one have to master such a heaven-defying secret? Xue Wen's eyes looked at Wandong, adding a bit of awe.
Not daring to ask any more questions, Xue Wen answered honestly, "This tiger bone talisman is actually a mysterious golden talisman hidden in the body of the immortal beast Xantianhu. This ancient mountain secret realm has a long history, as if it was hundreds of thousands of years ago." It already exists, but there are already countless mysteries that cannot be solved, and this tiger bone talisman is one of them. The combat power of the Sky Patrol Tiger is not very high, and it can be easily killed by a fifth-level human immortal. They are not considered top-notch immortal beasts, and there are a lot of them in this ancient mountain secret realm. But one thing is that this sky patrol tiger only exists in the ancient mountain secret realm, but it does not exist in the fairy court at all. There is such a golden talisman hidden in the body of a patrolling tiger. Brother, you must know that this patrolling tiger is an immortal beast after all, and it is impossible for it to grow a golden talisman on its own. So, who brought these gold talismans in advance. How did the talisman get hidden inside the Sky Patrol Tiger? To this day, no one has solved it!"
The golden talisman in the body of the Sky Patrol Tiger immediately reminded Wan Dong of the teleportation crystals produced in the Cultivation Treasure Land and the Trial Treasure Land. They were also hidden in the bodies of fairy beasts in advance and were obtained by killing fairy beasts. They are similar to the ancient mountain secret realm. The patrol tigers clearly have different approaches but the same purpose.
It seems that the origins of the cultivation treasure land and the trial treasure land are probably extraordinary.
Just as Xue Wen was sighing with emotion, Wan Dong frowned and said, "What about the return journey Fashi?"
Xue Wen hurriedly replied seriously, "Compared to the tiger bone talisman, the Cheng Fa Stone is much more precious this time. The tiger bone talisman can only enter, but cannot exit. In order to make up for this shortcoming, the powerful sects of several major sects in the Immortal Court , even the Immortal Ancestor participated, and then the Return Magic Stone was developed. The Return Magic Stone is a gem specially used to leave the secret realm of the ancient mountain and return to the Immortal Court. Only the top blacksmiths worshiped by the major sects can forge it. It is exclusively used by the disciples of each major sect. Although a small part of it has flowed into the black market, the price is staggering and cannot be afforded by casual cultivators like us."
"You can only enter but not exit... Do you want to be trapped here for the rest of your life?" Wan Dong asked in surprise.
Xue Wen shook his head and said, "That's not necessarily the case! When you reach the ninth level of Immortal Realm here, you can go to serve those big sects, and then they will naturally give you the return magic stone. Otherwise, there is another The solution is to wait until you reach the Earthly Immortal Realm, then you will naturally have a way to leave the Ancient Mountain Secret Realm and return to the Immortal Garden."
"What can be done?" Wandong asked subconsciously.
Xue Wen smiled bitterly and said, "Then I don't know. After all, little brother, I am still a hundred and eighty thousand miles away from the fairyland!"
Of the two methods Xue Wen mentioned, the first is easier, but it comes at the cost of freedom. The second one does not require freedom, but it is extremely difficult. It is not easy to cultivate to the Earthly Immortal Realm by oneself. For a moment, Wandong felt sympathy for these casual cultivators who were wandering around or trapped in the secret realm of the ancient mountain.
"Return Magic Stones... It would be great if there was a way to get more Return Magic Stones! Even if I don't need them myself, Wang Yang Luoxiao and the others need them very much..." Wan Dong's thoughts were filled with confusion.
"Actually, I think there is nothing wrong with being trapped in this secret realm of the ancient mountain! Most of the cultivation treasures in the Immortal Courtyard are controlled by major sects, and they may not be better than here. As long as you have perseverance, sooner or later you can Get ahead, no matter where you are, brother, right?"
Wandong chuckled lightly. This Xue Wen is not only smart, but also an optimistic person!
The group of people walked and talked, and soon arrived in front of the low wooden house. Only then did Wan Dong realize that these wooden houses not only looked simple on the outside, but also empty inside. A futon was considered good.
"Xue Wen, these wooden houses don't seem to be used for living, right?"
Xue Wen chuckled and said, "Of course not, these are the treasure trove of our Du Meng!"
Seeing that there was no smile on Wandong's face, but rather a frown, Xue Wen hurriedly said seriously, "This is the quiet room we built, specially rented to those casual cultivators who practice here."
"Rent? How to rent?"
"Thirty red-level immortal beast cores a month! This is just the price here. If you are close to the spiritual pool, the price will increase!"
The core of the fairy beast is also divided into levels according to the combat power of the fairy beast. The approximate classification is red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue, and purple, with red being the lowest and purple being the highest. The combat power of the red-level immortal beasts is approximately equivalent to the first to fifth-level human immortals. As for the purple-level immortal beasts, I am afraid they must at least reach the level of golden immortals.
Although Xue Wen and the others collected red-level immortal beast cores, which are the lowest level, it is probably not that easy to collect thirty cores a month. After all, this place is on the outskirts of the ancient mountain secret realm, and most of the monks who practice here are not of high grade. A fifth-level Immortal is considered a master.
Wandong glanced around for a week and found that although the rents set by Xue Wen and others were not cheap, these wooden houses seemed to be very popular. As far as the eye can see, every wooden house seems to have an owner.
"Xue Wen, will it still rain in this secret place in the ancient mountain?"
"Raining? No, it never rains in the ancient mountain secret realm!"
"Then why do those casual cultivators rent your wooden houses and sit on the ground? Isn't it okay?" Wan Dong frowned, a cold light flashed in his eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "Are you going to circle this place and force it?" Are they renting your wooden house?”
Thirty fairy beast cores have to be paid a month, and the rent is really expensive. Even if they are all fifth-grade human immortals, it will probably take a lot of effort to collect them all, right? Immortals spend most of their time cultivating. If they weren't forced to do so, who would waste their precious time for rent
"No, brother, don't get me wrong! We, Dumeng, are not landlords, so how could we do that kind of thing? Except for the area near Lingchi, because it is where our headquarters is, no one is allowed to approach the rest of the area. You can come and go freely. Moreover, our wooden house does not provide a place for cultivation, but a safety. Anyone who rents our wooden house will definitely ensure their safety!"
"Safety?"
"Yes, brother! This is the secret realm of the ancient mountain after all, and fairy beasts appear from time to time! If at the critical moment of cultivation, you are disturbed by the fairy beasts and become possessed, wouldn't it be an injustice?"
"Hmph! This is a place where casual cultivators gather. That fairy beast has lost its brain and will rush here on its own? I think the biggest unsafe risk for these casual cultivators is you!"
Xue Wen laughed a few times and was speechless. No matter what it is, it’s not that difficult to hide it from Wan Dong’s eyes!
"Xue Wen! The alliance leader has been waiting for you for a long time, why are you still hanging around here?"
Accompanied by a shout that was close to an angry rebuke, a man with a heavy ax in both hands and bulging muscles all over his body, as if made of steel, strode towards Xue Wen. Looking at the undisguised disgust on his face, it seemed as if he wanted to chop Xue Wen alive. (To be continued)
