As time went by, more and more people stepped into the swamp, some went forward bravely, some retreated, and some died in the swamp forever.
Xu Muan hurried over, Xiao Jingting looked at Xu Muan and said, "What's wrong!"
"I got some news." Xu Mu'an said.
"What?" Xiao Jingting asked.
"A golden core stage mud monster appeared in the swamp." Xu Mu'an said.
Xiao Jingting's eyes widened and he said, "How is it possible?"
Chen Xu pondered for a while when he heard Xu Muan's words, and said, "It is indeed possible."
Xiao Jingting looked at Chen Xu and said, "Is it possible?"
Chen Xu nodded and said: "Yes, there are rumors that the Tianxia Secret Realm was opened up by a strong man of a certain sect in ancient times for the disciples of his sect to practice. It is rumored that the strong man in ancient times can create space. For the safety of the disciples under the sect, those most powerful people have restricted the cultivation base of the monsters in the secret realm to below the golden core."
"Time flies, those most powerful people have fallen or ascended, but Tianxia Secret Realm is still opening repeatedly. However, as time goes by, it is also possible that there is a problem with the prohibition in the secret realm."
Xiao Jingting stroked his chin and said, "That's right! Even cultivators can cheat. Those monsters have lived in the secret realm for many years, so it's not surprising that they can find loopholes."
"Actually, there are golden cores in the secret realm. It's not just now that there are rumors of monsters in the golden core stage. There were also rumors in the past." Chen Xu said.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu in surprise, "In the secret realm, there is a golden pill."
Chen Xu nodded, and said: "It's not really a golden pill. There are restrictions in the secret realm, and you can't feel the baptism of the sky thunder and the aura of heaven and earth. Therefore, even if you form a pill, it's just a fake pill, but Even so, such a monster is much more powerful than Foundation Establishment Dzogchen."
"If this is the case, the death rate in the secret realm will be even higher." Xu Mu'an said.
Chen Xu nodded and said, "That's right! Many cultivators who have been famous for a long time have also capsized in the gutter."
Chen Xu pursed his lips. There were many outstanding people in the secret realm. Among these people, many of them had talents that made him jealous, but many of these people died silently in the secret realm.
"There are only eight months left until the opening of the inner city, and some big forces have also started to take action one after another." Xiao Xiaodong said.
"Uncle Xiao, when will we enter the inner city!" Chen Xu asked.
Xiao Jingting smiled and said, "Don't rush, let them go first, and clear up the danger on the road."
"Still waiting?" Chen Xu said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "Wait a little longer, by the way, Young Master Chen, has your grandfather prepared any magic weapon for you to deal with the swamp?"
Chen Xu shook his head, and said: "No, although grandpa is a Nascent Soul, he can't do everything well. The way grandpa thought was to find several foundation builders for me to escort me all the way. In the past, if there was nothing to be done, then we could only leave."
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "Don't worry, we will definitely pass."
Chen Xu smiled and said "Yes".
Xiao Jingting thought for a while, and said, "In three months, we'll set off."
Chen Xu nodded and said, "Okay!"
…
After learning about the dangers of the secret realm, Xiao Xiaodong and Chen Xu made preparations more seriously. Xiao Xiaodong gave Chen Xu a lot of good things, and Xiao Xiaodong brought out many cultivation resources that even grandpa could hardly get his hands on. Chen Xu was a little surprised, but didn't ask any further questions.
Xiao Jingting took a elixir and started to operate his soul power. With the help of the elixir, Xiao Jingting's soul power finally increased a bit.
"How's your soul power?" Xu Mu'an asked.
Xiao Jingting shrugged his shoulders and said: "You know, although I have many pills that can improve soul power, the effect is really limited."
In fact, when I first started taking the elixir, the effect was still very good. However, if I took too much elixir, the body might have developed resistance, and the effect became very limited.
Xu Muan smiled and said, "Now I have a good opportunity."
Xiao Jingting raised his head, looked at Xu Muan and asked, "What good opportunity?"
"As you know, the Heavenly God Sect has produced two peerless geniuses. These two people did not rush into the inner city, but stayed outside, looking for opportunities like a competition." Xu Mu'an said.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, "I heard."
Xu Muan smiled, and said: "I just found out that those two people returned from Lianfengya, but it has been confirmed that there is soul refining water in Lianfengya, and that thing has a miraculous effect on improving soul power. It was aimed at that thing, but it failed."
Xiao Jingting's eyes were bright, knowing about the soul refining water, Xiao Jingting was naturally happy, but it was just that the two geniuses of the Heavenly God Sect returned home with their halberds, so it would be very difficult for him.
"Lianfengya, let Xiaodong find out what Chen Xu has to say." Xiao Jingting said, Chen Xu has a long history of family education, and he knows a lot about the secrets in the secret realm.
Xu Muan nodded and said, "Okay."
…
"Chen Xu, do you know about Fengfengya?" Xiao Xiaodong looked at Chen Xu and asked.
Chen Xu nodded and said: "I know, it is said that there will be soul refining water when passing through Lianfeng Cliff, but it is not easy to pass through Lianfeng Cliff, because Lianfeng Cliff requires too much physical fitness for the cultivator. , it seems that the Tianxia Secret Realm has been opened several times, but no one can pass through the Lianfeng Cliff, enter it, and obtain the soul refining water."
Xiao Xiaodong was puzzled and said, "Why? If Tianxia Secret Realm was really used by ancient strongmen to train their disciples, why did they set up such an impossible task?"
Chen Xu shook his head and said, "It's impossible for us. I heard that in ancient times, there were races that specialized in body training. , the physique is born strong."
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, "Is that so? There is no other way?"
Chen Xu thought for a while, and said, "Not at all."
"Is there any way!" Xiao Xiaodong asked.
"The wind in Lianfengya is a kind of Qinggang wind. It is said that this kind of wind can tear apart the space. Ordinary magic weapons have little effect on it."
"However, there is a kind of Qinggang Lingyun bamboo that can restrain this kind of wind. There is this kind of bamboo in the secret realm. However, because of the characteristics of this kind of bamboo, those old bamboos have long been chopped down. They are all seedlings, and their effect is very limited," Chen Xu said.
"These say the higher the age, the better the effect of resisting the wind?" Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Chen Xu nodded and said, "Yes, why did you suddenly ask this?"
"I heard that the two genius cultivators of the Heavenly God Sect retreated one after another, so I'm a little curious." Xiao Xiaodong said.
Chen Xu nodded, and said: "Thousands of years ago, a cultivator of the Tianshen Sect brought the Qinggang Lingyun Bamboo back. Later, the Tianshenzong had a bamboo forest of the Qinggang Lingyun Bamboo. I heard that it is the tallest bamboo in the bamboo forest. The spirit bamboo is 1,200 years old, and these two people should have the magic weapon refined by the Qinggang Lingyun bamboo, but they returned with a broken halberd, it seems that the level of the magic weapon is not enough!"
Xiao Xiaodong: "..."
"Thousand-year ones don't work, so ten-thousand-year ones will definitely work?" Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Chen Xu smiled and said: "Ten thousand years is naturally useful, but how can this bamboo be cultivated for ten thousand years? Moreover, the magical weapons in the hands of the two geniuses of the Heavenly God Sect may not be the highest age spiritual bamboos. of."
"Grandpa said that if there is a magic weapon made of 1,500-year-old spirit bamboo, you can try to break through it. If it is 3,000-year-old, it should be safe and sound."
"What if it's ten thousand years old?" Xiao Xiaodong asked.
Chen Xu smiled and said: "There is no one that is 10,000 years old. I heard that the 10,000-year-old Qinggang Lingyun Bamboo can resist the restriction, and even Nascent Soul cultivators will fight for it."
Xiao Xiaodong nodded and said, "So that's how it is!"
…
"Qinggang Lingyun Bamboo?" Xiao Jingting rubbed his chin and asked thoughtfully.
Xu Mu'an nodded and said, "That's right! Your son said so."
"Then what are you waiting for, hurry up and get two to cultivate." Xiao Jingting said.
Xu Mu'an looked at Xiao Jingting, and said, "It is said that this bamboo consumes a lot of spirit energy. I don't know how many spirit stones will be needed this time."
Xiao Jingting clenched his fists and said: "Spirit stones are nothing more than belongings outside the body, if they are gone, just earn more."
Xu Mu'an nodded and said, "That's right!"
Xiao Jingting stroked his chin and said, "Hurry up and get some bamboo over here. Before we enter the swamp, let's do one last vote."
Xu Muan nodded and said, "Okay."
Most of the cultivators have entered the swamp one after another, which made Xiao Jingting gradually feel a sense of urgency.
As soon as the Qinggang Lingyun bamboo was brought back, Xiao Jingting began to ripen it. To Xiao Jingting's disappointment, not every bamboo can be ripened continuously. Some bamboos will wither after more than a thousand years For this reason, Xiao Jingting had to ripen a batch of spiritual bamboos, and choose good quality bamboos to continue ripening.
In this way, the cost of spirit stones has also greatly increased.
In one month, Xiao Jingting burned nearly 2,000 middle-grade spirit stones in a bamboo forest.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xu Mu'an, and said, "Father, father's complexion is not very good!"
Xu Mu'an nodded, and said: "Yes!" Xiao Jingting was still happy to become a local tyrant again some time ago, and now he will soon roll to the state of pauper again.
Xiao Xiaodong asked puzzledly: "Why!"
Xu Mu'an smiled wryly, and said, "It's probably a pain in the flesh."
Xiao Xiaodong: "..."
In order to obtain the soul refining water, so many spirit stones were burned all at once, so it is no wonder that Xiao Jingting's face is ugly. After more than 2,000 spirit stones, there are four spirit bamboos with a lifespan of 2,500 years. Not enough, if you want to ripen the spirit bamboo for three thousand years, then, except for that high-grade spirit stone, there may be very few other spirit stones left.
I hope that the soul refining water can have some effect, otherwise it will be a bit of a loss.
Xiao Xiaodong looked at Xu Muan and said, "Father, do you spend a lot?"
Xu Mu'an nodded and said, "Yes! It took a lot."
Xiao Xiaodong smiled, and said: "Father often said that only those who can spend spirit stones can earn spirit stones, and when the spirit stones are spent, just grab them."
Xu Mu'an: "..."
