There are so many rare treasures in the secret realm that the two Nascent Soul ancestors were unwilling to give up after returning. After their injuries were healed, they gathered all the Nascent Soul cultivators from the two sects and planned to enter again. They also spent a huge amount of resources to build a passage in each of the two sects.
But somehow, the news leaked out and was learned by the Taixuan Sect and the Pure Land Sect, who then came knocking on the door respectively, wanting to get a piece of the pie.
The Wuliang Sect and Shibuyuan would not agree. I guess they would have to fight with these two sects outside the secret realm before they could enter it.
What's more, at that time, there were only three people in the late Nascent Soul stage in the Wuliang Sect and Shibuyuan, and the rest were in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul. There were seven level four monsters in that secret realm.
Although the strange poison of the Wuliang Sect can slightly restrain them, it is still difficult to say whether they can win. If a few Yuanying monsters from the Taixuan Sect and the Pure Land Sect are added, there will be a greater chance of victory.
After considering many factors, we decided to allow the four sects to join forces and enter!
Afterwards, they entered and fought a fierce battle, but the result was not as expected. The monsters themselves are usually much stronger than the cultivators of the same level. Although the human side has more Nascent Soul cultivators in this battle, once the enemy shows their true form, the strength of both sides will quickly be equalized.
In the end, the human race and the monsters in the secret realm had to give in to each other, and the monsters in the secret realm also looked down on the spiritual energy on the Desolate Moon Continent. The concentration of the spiritual energy here was much lower than that in the secret realm.
It is precisely because of this that many ancient herbs have been preserved in the secret realm.
As for the monsters and beasts in the secret realm, they have been out of control since the inexplicable disappearance of the ancient monk who was in charge of the secret realm, and have gradually formed several powerful races.
Each race wanted to conquer the other, but after years of fighting, no one could do anything to the other, and finally they had to give up and make peace.
But they also need to hone themselves. Once they find other races, it will inevitably cause a war, so they can only hunt the other party secretly.
The high-level monsters above also turn a blind eye and usually don't interfere as long as there is no battle involving monsters of level three or above.
However, in this way, the natural ferocity of the monsters cannot be released, and sooner or later there will be chaos. Now that humans have come in, they can open certain areas and allow humans to enter and fight with the monsters in the secret realm.
Whoever has the ability can obtain the magic weapons and elixirs. In fact, this is also the monsters taking advantage of humans.
Most monsters rely on their talents to fight. Only monsters above level two can use spiritual weapons and magic weapons, but monsters are not born with the ability to make elixirs, refine weapons, or form formations.
The caves left behind by the ancient monks in the secret realm are all protected by formations, and they can hardly open them. They can only occasionally rely on their innate magical powers or brute force to break some restrictions and obtain the elixirs and magic weapons inside.
As for the rare medicinal herbs, even if the monsters got them, except for some that could be swallowed directly, most of the herbs could only be left to fend for themselves. The monsters did not know how to make elixirs or medicines, and swallowing them directly would bring about all kinds of unpredictable consequences.
After this discussion, both parties got the results they wanted.
However, the monsters in the secret realm no longer agreed to open more passages, as this would increase the danger level of the secret realm. Finally, after repeated negotiations, the monsters in the secret realm reluctantly agreed to retain the existing two passages.
This made Taixuan Sect and Pure Land Sect very depressed. Anyone would be unhappy to see the passage being built in other sects, but they were also extremely helpless.
Later, the two sects wanted to send people to guard the passage from the Wuliang Sect and the Shibuyuan, but how could the Wuliang Sect and the Shibuyuan agree
If we allow monks from other sects to station in our sect, the secrets of our sect will be leaked out sooner or later. How can we do such a thing? In the end, we could only agree to let these two sects send people to check the stability of the passage every five years.
Even if the Taixuan Sect and the Pure Land Sect wanted to use force, they could not be afraid of the Wuliang Sect and the Shibuyuan. In a two-on-two situation, they could only agree reluctantly in the end.
When the secret realm was first opened, the four sects sent Jindan-stage monks to enter once a year, but after a thousand years, both sides discovered something was wrong.
First, the Jindan cultivators are the most important "pillar" of the fighting force for both sides. After thousands of years of fighting, although the only ones left are powerful Jindan cultivators who have experienced hundreds of battles, and ferocious and abnormal third-level monsters.
But it is obvious that the overall strength of the sect and the strength of the monster races in the secret realm are both on a downward trend, and the losses on both sides are too great.
On the other hand, after thousands of years of continuous training, fighting and picking herbs every year, many rare herbs in the secret realm have become extinct, which is something that human monks do not want to see.
The two sides had no choice but to sit down and negotiate again, and finally agreed that the secret realm would only be opened for picking once every fifteen years, and that it would be mainly during the foundation-building period.
At the same time, even if the period is fifteen years, only fragmented areas will be opened, which also allows the rare herbs in the secret realm to grow.
Any cultivator who has the ability to enter the secret realm will have the opportunity to obtain great opportunities.
All the rare treasures and ancient elixirs obtained there belong to you, but the herbs must be handed over to the sect. The magic weapons and elixirs that you don't need can also be sold to the sect at a high price.
However, private sales are strictly prohibited. Once discovered, the offender will be severely punished according to the sect’s rules.
At the same time, after a cultivator enters the secret realm, it is possible to break through and advance with the help of the rich spiritual energy there.
Everything seems so beautiful, but it is also accompanied by extreme danger. In addition to guarding against monsters, one must also guard against attacks from the other three sects, or even sudden attacks from companions.
Taking all these factors into consideration, it is understandable that Lin Daqiao is somewhat reluctant. Although it is dangerous, he also wants to get his share of great immortal fate in it.
When the other disciples heard Wei Chongran mention the top forty-nine, their eyes lit up with desire.
Especially Wei Chituo, he is now in the late stage of foundation building. Once he enters the secret realm, he will have the opportunity to break through to the false elixir or even the golden elixir realm.
Seeing that all the disciples agreed, Wei Chongran nodded and looked at Li Wuyi.
“Wuyi, I will be in seclusion this month and may not be able to come out for a long time, so the affairs of this peak will be handed over to you. This is another reason why you can’t go.
Hehehe... Here is a 'Dustless Pill' for you, maybe it can help you make a breakthrough!"
After saying that, he pointed his finger and a small blue and white porcelain vase flew towards Li Wuyi.
Li Wuyi looked relaxed after hearing what his master said before. He was very familiar with handling the affairs of Xiaozhu Peak. But when he heard about the Wuchen Pill, he froze there.
Then, he saw a blue and white porcelain vase quietly floating in front of him. After a long while, he was overjoyed and grabbed the jade bottle in his hand.
Before, he heard that he would no longer be allowed to participate in this secret picking. He knew in his heart that he had made too many enemies in the previous times, and he would definitely be targeted after entering. It was extremely difficult for him to cultivate to this level now, and his master was also considering him.
However, he didn't show anything on his face, but he still felt a little disappointed in his heart.
The first two times he participated, his realm was raised from the peak of the early foundation to the middle stage, and then it was raised to the peak of the middle stage. If he entered the secret realm again this time, although he was not sure that he could break through to the false elixir or golden elixir in one fell swoop, he would definitely gain a lot.
But he always listened to Wei Chongran, and followed his master's orders. So he quickly put aside his desire, and he didn't expect his master to give him a Dustless Pill.
The Dustless Pill plays a powerful auxiliary role when advancing to a higher realm below the Golden Core Stage. It can protect the heart meridian when impacting the realm, prevent it from being eroded by inner demons, and make the mind free of dust and dirt.
This is a very important elixir for those who want to break through to the next level below the Golden Core Stage, and often one elixir is out of stock.
No one knew how Wei Chongran got it, but he gave it to Li Wuyi so casually. This made Li Wuyi more confident in condensing the golden elixir. Don't underestimate these two points, as they are something you can't ask for.
After Li Wuyi got the pill, his face flushed. It's not that he hadn't thought about this pill before, but it was very difficult to find this kind of pill at auction outside, giving him the opportunity to pick up a bargain.
Although the Wuliang Sect would refine some every year and sell them within the sect, he simply couldn't afford it.
Li Wuyi regained his normal composure after a dozen breaths. He stood up, lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed six times respectfully.
Wei Chongran also smiled on his chubby face, and did not stop Li Wuyi's actions. Although he got this pill, it took him a lot of effort.
There are also many cultivators in the late stage of foundation building in the Wuliang Sect. In addition to a large amount of spirit stones, this elixir also requires a huge amount of face.
The other Foundation Establishment disciples looked at Li Wuyi with envy, but they also knew that this was what the eldest senior brother deserved. This gentle eldest senior brother had worked hard and without complaint over the years.
While others were cultivating, he still had to spend a lot of time dealing with the affairs of the peak. If it weren't for his extraordinary aptitude, he would probably still be lingering in the middle stage of foundation building.
After Li Wuyi stood up, Wei Chongran looked at Wei Chituo again.
“You have to work hard too!”
After saying this, he stood up and walked straight out the door.
Wei Chituo was also stunned, but determination gradually appeared on his face. He knew what his master meant, which was to let him rely on his own efforts to obtain the great way, but he estimated that if he really failed, he would also take action.
But he knew in his heart that the most his master could help him with was medicinal pills, and he could only rely on himself for cultivation.
Li Yan looked at the fat, not-so-tall figure leaving, and suddenly felt a little warm in his heart. He felt that this master might really be a good person.
He had heard about the disciples of Biefeng. As a teacher, the most he could do was to pass on his knowledge and impart knowledge.
If you want to be able to give such a precious elixir to his disciples, there is only a slight possibility unless you are his direct relative or a disciple he particularly likes.
But the master in front of him actually spent so many resources on his apprentice.
Today, Li Yan suddenly had a new understanding of Wei Chongran. Li Yan didn't even know much about Wei Chongran.
For example, Wei Chongran’s cultivation level. This fat master might be in the middle stage of the Golden Core, but many disciples in the sect say that he is in the early stage of the Golden Core because they have never seen him take action.
Wei Chongran has a smiling face all day long, and his cultivation level is only at the initial stage of Golden Core, which is a bit mysterious.
Li Wuyi said slowly after seeing his master walk away.
"This is Xiaozhu Peak..."
Then his eyes became a little dazed, and he calmed down.
"Okay, today's business is over. I hope all the junior brothers and sisters can gain something next year. Now let's go!"
The rest of the people all bowed to Li Wuxing and walked out alone or in groups.
Li Yan walked out of the main hall with Lin Daqiao. This was something he did on purpose.
Lin Daqiao hugged Li Yan very affectionately. He was a lively person by nature, and seclusion for several months or even longer was a tough job for him.
Fortunately, he has a good spiritual root. By spending some time practicing, he can catch up with the practice results of others who may take several months. Li Yan is very envious of this.
After the two of them walked out of the main hall, Li Yan interrupted the chattering of the seventh senior brother.
"Seventh Senior Brother, I want to ask you how to get the missions for this peak. You mentioned it before, but I haven't been there yet!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Daqiao loosened her arms around Li Yan and looked Li Yan up and down, leaving him completely confused.
"Junior brother, you are finally short of spirit stones. I heard from Fourth Senior Sister that the resources you receive every month are comparable to those of the Foundation Establishment Stage. It has been several years, and you haven't even received a mission from this peak!"
After hearing this, Li Yan touched his nose in embarrassment. Of course, he now knew how difficult it was to earn spirit stones.
When the fat master gave me the spirit stones, I took them with such confidence, as if it was my due. If I were to receive so much more every month, if it were in another mountain, I guess someone would have already started a commotion.
With a dry laugh, Li Yan spoke.
"Haha, Seventh Senior Brother, isn't it because I have poor aptitude that the sect is biased towards me, and that is why I can barely make it to where I am today
So, with my current mana, I can't leave the sect to do missions at all. I can only do some missions within my ability to earn some spirit stones in this peak. Brother Seven hasn't said how to receive missions yet?"
"Junior brother, I never thought that you have been a disciple for so many years but still don't know how to do the mission hall. I admire you so much! I have nothing to do now, so I will take you there."
Lin Daqiao looked at Li Yan with surprise.
Li Yan also thanked him repeatedly, and Lin Daqiao released a boat-shaped spiritual weapon. The two of them stepped on the spiritual weapon and flew away.
