Chapter 74: Secret Realm
Sitting below Wei Chituo was a cold young man, about 27 or 28 years old, in the middle stage of foundation building, wearing a gray shirt, tall and handsome, with a handsome face. He saw Li Yan looking at him, but he didn't nod or speak, with an expression of indifference. Li Yan didn't care, but smiled and nodded at him.
Li Yan had seen this man several times in the past few years. Third Senior Brother Yun Chunqu was cold all day long, but Li Yan knew that this cold Third Senior Brother would only soften his expression and flash a little color in his eyes when he looked at Sixth Senior Sister Gong Chenying. Li Yan sometimes imagined how awkward it would be if these two pieces of ice were together in the future.
The three of them sat in a row, while the other four sat opposite each other. The two beauties at the top were the fourth senior sister Miao Wangqing and the sixth senior sister Gong Chenying. Miao Wangqing was still wearing a yellow dress. When she saw Li Yan coming in, she smiled and called him "little junior brother", while the short-haired and cold Gong Chenying just glanced at Li Yan lightly and nodded slightly, which was considered a greeting. Both of them were in the perfect state of the initial foundation building, so Li Yan hurriedly returned the greeting.
Below these two, there were two more people. One of them had fair skin, comparable to Lin Daqiao, with a medium build, a long face, thick eyebrows and thin eyes. He leaned on the chair in a sloppy manner, one leg resting on the armrest, and the other leg stretched straight and dragged on the ground. At this time, he was holding Lin Daqiao who was trying desperately to break free with one hand. This person's name was Wen Xinliang, and he was Li Yan's fifth senior brother. He was in the initial stage of foundation building. It was said that this person was very good at using poison.
Li Yan was not surprised by this, and walked towards Lin Daqiao with a smile.
At this time, it was unknown whether Lin Daqiao finally broke free from the palm of the fifth senior brother, or the fifth senior brother deliberately let him go. Lin Daqiao hurriedly walked to Li Yan, grabbed him, and then walked to a chair across from Wen Xinliang and sat down, muttering, "Fifth senior brother is a bully. Every time we meet, he always bullies your seventh senior brother. He took me to the Bulifeng Peak when I just entered the sect. He is the worst."
After hearing this, Wen Xinliang still looked careless, "Xiaoqiao, Fifth Senior Brother is doing this for your own good. Only after you pass this level of senior brother, you will not suffer any loss in the future. By the way, little junior brother, you will Teach your Seventh Senior Brother how to kill. I heard that you killed the military advisor before, and you also set some traps for him. You are still like this at the age of fifteen. Tsk tsk, I like it, hehe. "
After listening to this, Li Yan bowed and smiled, and sat down with Lin Daqiao. Now as he deepened his cultivation, he knew that he could not hide the fact that he killed the Third Military Advisor. This Fifth Senior Brother was very interested in him when he first met him, but he didn't believe it when he heard Lin Daqiao and others talk about their own things. According to this Fifth Senior Brother, Senior Brother Yu of Lingchong Peak said that it seemed that the scene was not the case. I didn't expect that the old matter would be brought up again today.
Lin Daqiao asked Li Yan to sit at the top, so that he and the fifth senior brother were separated by two seats. Li Yan was helpless when he saw this. This seventh senior brother had successfully established his foundation a year ago. It was said that in the past three years, only five people out of tens of thousands of people in the sect had successfully established their foundation. It can be seen how difficult it is to cultivate immortals. However, outsiders think that it is easy to establish a foundation at Xiaozhu Peak. That is because most of them are old-fashioned foundation builders who have established their foundation for decades. The fewer the number of people, the higher the probability. After Lin Daqiao successfully established his foundation, his mentality did not seem to grow. He was still as jumpy as before. As soon as Li Yan sat down, a sixteen or seventeen-year-old green-shirted girl came in front of him, gently bowed, and offered a cup of fragrant tea. After Li Yan took the teacup, he smiled at the green-shirted girl, and the girl returned to the side. These two men and one woman are all new outer disciples of the peak, but they are not Li Yan's junior brothers and sisters. They are disciples accepted by the eldest brother, the third brother, and the third sister in recent years. Li Wuyi accepted one of the disciples sent by the lower immortal sect, named Ouyang Ping, who was in the early seventh level of the Qi Condensation Stage; Yun Chunqu found a errand disciple named Zhang Que in the mountain, who was in the middle sixth level of the Qi Condensation Stage, with good aptitude and passed his assessment, so he was accepted as a disciple; and the green-shirted girl was found by Miao Wangqing in a small immortal cultivation family when she was out. She liked her aptitude and temperament, so she accepted her as well. This made the small immortal cultivation family almost set up a longevity tablet for her, but she stopped it severely. She didn't want to look old. The green-shirted girl's cultivation level was already in the middle fifth level of the Qi Condensation Stage.
These three disciples were about the same age as Li Yan now, but the three of them were already outer disciples of Xiaozhu Peak, and Li Yan was just a registered disciple, but the three of them regarded themselves as juniors, and their registered disciples were much stronger than their formal outer disciples. They were disciples of the Jindan Great Cultivator and their junior uncles. Although these three people were at the same level as Li Yan, or even higher, they did not dare to call Li Yan "senior brother" or "junior brother" according to the rules of the immortal cultivation world.
"Junior brother, you have made great progress in the past six months. Your speed is really fast." After sitting down, Lin Daqiao reached out and patted Li Yan on the shoulder, looking like an elder.
Li Yan was speechless for a while. This seventh senior brother, like the second senior brother, liked to pat people on the shoulder. As he deepened his cultivation, he was more and more reactive to others approaching him. Just now, he almost had the instinct to dodge or block.
"Seventh Senior Brother, after you build your foundation, you will be an elite disciple of the outer sect. I think you will soon enter the inner sect. Now I am the only junior brother who is still a registered disciple. I don't know when I can reach your level." Li Yan brushed away his hand on his shoulder without leaving a trace, and flattered him casually.
"Haha, junior brother, don't belittle yourself. Senior brother, this is just luck, luck." Lin Daqiao was very pleased to hear this, and said hurriedly, but he said this
Not really modestly, this foundation building is not successful for everyone. It is lucky for one or two people to succeed among a thousand people. Like his original third-rate sect, there is no golden elixir in the sect of nearly a thousand people, and there are only two foundation building masters.
The fifth senior brother next to him heard the two people whispering to each other, curled his lips but did not speak, and then looked at the roof by himself, as if thinking about something. For a while, each small group in the house started chatting. Miao Wangqing and Gong Chenying chatted quietly, and looked at Li Wuyi from time to time. Li Wuyi seemed to have no feeling, and turned his head to talk to Wei Chituo seriously. As for the cold third brother, he said nothing, but occasionally glanced at Gong Chenying opposite.
The two male and one female disciples stood behind their respective masters honestly, refilling some tea from time to time.
Not long after, a figure floated in. When everyone looked up, the figure had already sat in the center of the main hall. It was Wei Chongran. Everyone stood up and saluted. After the ceremony, the green-shirted girl poured fragrant tea for the master, and then retreated with the two male disciples.
Wei Chongran glanced at all the disciples and nodded with satisfaction. However, when he glanced at Li Yan, he paused for a moment, with a little surprise in his eyes. With Li Yan's mixed spiritual roots, although the sect had some resources to assist, they were not too many. He originally thought that Li Yan would be blessed by heaven if he could build a foundation after a few decades, but he didn't expect that he had already reached the early stage of the sixth stage of the Condensation Stage, and his mana was almost the same as that of the middle and late stages of the sixth stage of the Condensation Stage. I didn't expect that the 10,000 Yuan Gong would have such an effect, but I think this should also have a lot to do with the fragmented poisonous body, which should have changed a lot of the physique of this disciple.
"You are all here, so I won't waste any more time. Next year is the time for searching for the realm and picking. I think you all know that. The sect has learned some information in the past few days. Shibuyuan, Taixuan Sect, and Pure Land Sect are all actively preparing for war, and there is a possibility that they can target our sect. So now the sect must determine the people from each peak to go this time. In the near future, there will be a competition between the peaks, and finally 49 foundation-building people will be selected to enter the secret realm. Wuyi, Daqiao, and Li Yan don't need to participate this time. Wuyi has participated three times and killed many cultivators from these three sects several times, and also got some opportunities. You don't need to go this time. The master has other arrangements. Daqiao has just entered the foundation-building stage. Although he needs experience, this is not a place to go now, but you can sign up to participate. The purpose is to compete with disciples from other peaks in the sect. Even if you are finally selected, you have to give up. Do you understand? At that time, Wuyi will come forward with my jade slip to explain the reason why you don't participate." At this point, Wei Chongran's tone became stern. "Yes, Master." Li Wuyi shrugged and agreed.
Lin Daqiao was a little reluctant, but when Wei Chongran glanced at him seriously, he was shocked and said yes.
Wei Chongran's tone softened a little, "Li Yan, you have made great progress in the past few years. I hope you can build your foundation soon."
Li Yan also stood up and saluted.
"Well, among the others, Chi Tuo has participated twice, Chun Qu has participated twice, and Chen Ying has participated once. They are all experienced and can lead the fourth and fifth. The two of them have no experience, especially the fourth, who is too kind-hearted. If you are not careful, you will die. But you must go through these to go long in cultivating immortals. You still need to go in and experience. What I said above is that you can enter the top 49. If you can't even enter the top 49 in the same level competition, everything is out of the question."
Li Yan listened below and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it was difficult to cultivate immortals. Every step was difficult, and you would die if you were not careful. He has not only practiced in the Wuliang Sect over the years, but also read a lot of miscellaneous knowledge and knowledge of cultivating immortals. This search for treasures is a blood feast jointly held by the four major sects. This secret realm was discovered by the two supreme elders of the Wuliang Sect and the Ten-Step Courtyard tens of thousands of years ago. After the two Yuanying ancestors discovered this secret realm, they worked together for nearly a year to break the protective ban. It is said that they found a lot of ancient treasures and top-level magic tools, as well as a large number of rare single medicines, peerless monster cores, etc. This secret realm should be somewhere outside the domain. It occupies a very large area and forms a space of its own. It might be a holy land for cultivating immortals separated in ancient times. After years of changes, the immortal cultivators in it have disappeared, leaving only many immortal elixirs and rare herbs. However, there are many ancient monsters in it, and there are even seven level four top monsters, five level four top-level monsters and two level four middle-level monsters, which are comparable to the existence of human Yuanying middle and late old monsters. Monsters at level three can transform into humans with great intelligence. What's more, these level four top monsters are also powerful and cunning like foxes.
When the two great elders of Wuliang Sect and Shibuyuan entered, they only got some top-level magic tools, rare spiritual herbs and elixirs in the early stage. A few days later, they encountered four fourth-level monsters and fought with them. Later, they had to flee in embarrassment. Although the two elders were late Nascent Soul ancestors, they were obviously the weaker party. Fortunately, it was difficult to kill the Nascent Soul. In addition to the numerous magic tools they had cultivated for thousands of years, if they gave up their physical bodies, the Nascent Soul had the ability to teleport, and they could travel thousands of miles in an instant. This was something that no magic tool could catch up with. But how could the two elders give up their physical bodies? In addition, one of them was... One was a famous poison cultivator, and the other was a sword cultivator who was famous for his ferocious combat power. For a while, the opponents could not do anything to the two of them, so they fought and fled. The seven top-level monsters were not all dispatched, maybe due to retreat or other reasons, only three top-level and one middle-level fourth-level monster were dispatched. They actually escaped, but the two elders were also seriously injured, and the elder from the Ten-Step Courtyard almost had his body collapsed. This was because after seeing the unpredictable poison of the elder from the Wuliang Sect, the four monsters did not dare to get too close, which led to such a result.
