52 Two or three things about the secret realm

“A secret realm is a mysterious realm that is independent of this world.”

some of them have existed since the ancient times. Some of them were created by cultivators using the wondrous way of heaven and earth.

“Since ancient times, many powerful beings would find or open up a secret realm that belonged to them, and refine it into their own cave abode. These secret realms that have been refined are hidden and safe. Without the key, there is no way to enter.”

when a powerful being falls, some will hand over the secret realm to the sect or pass it on to their disciples, but there are also many people who, for various reasons, do not hand over the key, and these secret realms become ownerless.

almost every powerful cultivator with profound cultivation will accumulate a lot of cultivation wealth in the long years of cultivation. Pills, talismans, magic treasures, divine powers, these things are stored in the secret realm and may never see the light of day.

“At this time, the secret realm means treasure.”

“If it’s a wild uncivilized world that has not been refined by anyone, it’ll be even more precious. This is because the uncivilized world is usually larger than man-made secret realms. To a sect, it’s an extremely precious treasure.”

“Take the 12 immortal sects as an example. Each of them has at least one such unworldly world. It’s extremely important for a large sect to have a secret land of inheritance.”

“It’s precisely because of this that all the sects in the pugilistic world are extremely eager to find Mystic realms. Before almost every large Mystic realm opens, it will attract the pursuit and snatching of several sects. The final result is often that everyone will explore and control it together. As time passed, some unspoken rules were formed.”

“But the big sects follow the rules and will not shed all pretenses of cordiality. Many small sects wouldn’t say so much. A secret realm could possibly hide the cultivation wealth of an entire sect. This was enough to make many xiuzhe go crazy. The bloody incidents caused by the secret realms have never stopped for many years.”

“There’s a saying in the pugilistic world that an ordinary man is innocent, but a treasure can be a crime. This is the truth. A secret realm can be a great treasure, but it can also be a death warrant.”

“The danger isn’t just outside the secret realm, it’s also inside the secret realm.”

if the spiritual energy in the wild outer world is abundant, it’s very likely that some spiritual monsters raised by nature will be born. They regard this world as their own territory and will carry out the fiercest attack on uninvited guests who intrude.

“If it’s empty, then you have to be even more careful. That’s because it means that it’s impossible to survive in this secret realm. There might even be some terrifying existence that can exterminate all living creatures.”

“A secret realm that has been refined by a powerful being is equally dangerous, because this is a world in the hands of others. Every master of the secret realm will modify the secret realm according to their own preferences. This means that each secret realm has a different law of heaven and earth.”

I’ve seen a secret realm that only women are allowed to enter. If a man enters, he will trigger the heavenly lightning and earthly fire.

“It’s said that some secret realms don’t allow people to wear clothes, which is very improper.”

there are also some Almighty experts with eccentric personalities who will specially design various checkpoints in the palace. Only those who pass the checkpoints will be rewarded with treasures.

“There are also some extremely sinister poisonous traps hidden in order to kill all the intruders. There are many powerful beings who have such dark minds and want the intruders to die with them.”

“As for the entry threshold for the realm, it’s the most common one. Some secret realms only allow those below the Dragon Realm to enter, or only those below the divine unity realm to enter. Of course, if the cultivation base is higher than the owner of the secret realm, they can naturally break through by force. However, this may cause great damage to the items in the mystic realm, so all the major sects strictly forbid this kind of behavior.”

“All in all, although this thing is precious, it’s hot to the touch.”

On the way back to Yuhang Town, Li Xinyi patiently explained everything about the secret realm to Li Chu.

Li Chu heard it clearly. He thought for a moment and said, ” “Yingluo, why do I feel like you’ve been scaring me? Are you trying to make me feel that this thing is very dangerous so that I can give it to you?”

“But it’s the truth.” Li Xinyi blinked and said, ” and the key you have is only a quarter of the original. It’s not complete. If you don’t know where to find the other keys, then this thing is meaningless to you.”

“Then what do you want to do?” Li Chu asked.

“If you give me the key, Chaotian que will give you a portion of the money as a reward. How about it?” Li Xinyi said.

“That’s what I’m thinking,” Li Chu nodded.

He didn’t intend to leave this thing behind. Although Li Xinyi had emphasized the dangers of the secret realm, what he said was true.

If it was the complete key, he might have to consider it. However, this item was incomplete, and he didn’t know where to find the next part, so it was indeed meaningless.

If he could exchange it for money, it would naturally be good.

“What’s Your Price?” Li Xinyi asked. I’ll say this first, we don’t know what kind of treasure is in this secret realm, and it’s not even the complete treasure key, so don’t try to ask for too much.”

“Hmm,” Li Chu muttered to himself,”I’m sorry.””Five hundred taels of silver!”

“Alright, five hundred gold taels! You’re not allowed to go back on your word.” Li Xin Yi made the decision in one breath, looking a bit impatient.

Li Chu’s pupils trembled slightly.

He didn’t want gold.

500 taels of gold was equivalent to 5000 taels of silver. This amount of money was enough to buy a very grand mansion in the hang Zhou Prefecture, or even in Zhaoge city.

This was only a quarter of the key. From this, it could be seen how much this secret realm was worth in Li Xinyi’s heart. It seemed that he had underestimated its value.

don’t worry, ” Li Chu said indifferently. I’ll bring the item back to the temple first and wait for you to bring the money. I’ll be honest with you.

Li Xinyi thought of the promise he made to the kun just now and mumbled, ” “A man’s mouth is a ghost that deceives people.”

“What?”

“It’s nothing,” Li Xinyi shook his head and changed the topic, ” “Actually, I’ve always been curious. You don’t look like someone who is vulgar, so why do you care so much about money? You must know that many cultivators treat gold and silver like dirt.”

“Why do you care about money?” Li Chu thought for a moment and said,”money, as a universal currency, is a great invention of human society.” Since then, many things that could not be measured had their value. To me, I can’t understand many of the thoughts and feelings of others. I can only reach a consensus with them through the equivalent.”

Li Xinyi was confused.

After a pause, she asked again, ” but I don’t see you spending money usually. You and your apprentice are also very simple. What do you plan to do with so much money? ”

“I’m buying a house,” Li Chu answered without hesitation.

“Ah?” Li Xin Yi was stunned.

Li Chu’s eyes gleamed with a penetrating light. in this world, everything can be wrong. But buying a house is definitely the right choice.”

A question mark slowly appeared in Li Xinyi’s heart.

……

Just as the two of them descended the mountain, on the other side of the wonderful wind Mountain, two other figures also left.

Li Chu had seen these two before.

The ugly Daoist from the shenxu temple and the short Daoist-the ordinary-looking but short Daoist-were walking side by side.

we’ve been going for three days without any gains, ” the Taoist priest sighed. I’ll be scolded by senior brother Zhang again when I get back.

“It’s all this Bird Mountain’s fault. The birds are so big, and we have to search carefully. I’m afraid we won’t be able to finish it in ten days or half a month!” The ugly Taoist said angrily. There’s no reason for him to curse like that.”

“Little martial uncle is about to arrive at the Jiang Nan continent. Senior brother Zhang is also anxious to show off in front of little martial uncle. After all, it’s said that the next Abbey Dean is very likely to be little uncle-master.”

“Hmph,” he snorted. The ugly Daoist priest snorted coldly and said,”if he’s in a hurry, he can do it himself!” The one who went missing here is his brother. Why is he not looking for us but only urging us to go?”

“Hey, senior Xue, be careful with your words.” The short Taoist priest quickly pulled him back. senior brother Zhang, you’re staying at the county government office to protect Lord Gongsun, right? Yingluo, after all, that’s our nominal mission this time.

The ugly Daoist priest spat. what’s there to protect?! He must have taken a fancy to that girl. He was craving for her body! He’s cheap!”

“Senior brother Xue, you can just complain to me, but don’t let others hear it. Senior brother Zhang has a bad temper, Boohoo!”

“I have a good temper? Even in front of him, I’ll say the same!”

“Hehe, Yingluo.”

The bright moon hung high in the sky, and the mountain was silent.

The two Taoist priests did not notice that a pair of sharp eyes were staring at them from behind.

The Mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the Oriole behind.
