At the beginning of May, the secret realm that all Qingyang Su clan’s Golden Elixir disciples have been waiting for will be opened.
This secret realm is located in Jiugu Mountain and can only be entered by Jindan monks under the age of twenty-seven. There are countless secrets and techniques passed down in it. Which one you encounter depends on luck.
It only takes three days to travel from Qingyang Mountain to Jiugu Mountain by boat. Everyone was staying in the boat to practice, except for one person who stood at the stern and kept whining.
"Little wolf cub, look, you can see the Forest of No Return from here. To the north of the Forest of No Return is the North Sea. The North Sea is beautiful! It's a pity that it's a Dead Sea. Whoever goes there will die!"
The person speaking was none other than Su He, who had been in seclusion for a month and got stuck at the last moment and successfully broke through. This man came out of the confinement, as if he had come out of the cage.
Hua Ruxue was sitting in the cabin, holding the tea that Su Yi had just brewed. It was May in this world, when the weather was supposed to be getting hotter, but she felt cold. As long as the wind blew gently, she would feel extremely cold.
Xiao Shitou said that this was the backlash caused by excessive use of spiritual energy.
She is currently just using her spiritual power to form a cocoon, one to protect her heart and the other to trap the poison on her tail. Just like this, she will end up with overuse of her spiritual power and suffer backlash.
If she officially started practicing the "Ice Art" given by Su Yi in the future, and a fight really broke out, wouldn't it be possible that she herself would be frozen into ice before her spiritual power could be used?
What an unreliable little rock.
Su Yi took out a brand new cloak and bent down to put it on Hua Ruxue. There were a few runes stuck inside the cloak, which was as warm as a stove in winter.
He asked softly: "Is it still cold?"
Before Hua Ruxue could say anything, Su Zhi, who was standing three feet away, said: "They are all wrapped up like this, no matter how cold it is, there is nothing they can do."
Su Zhi's eyes were full of disgust, and he seemed to still not understand why his young master brought this weak little fox to Jiugu Mountain.
Su He, who was still admiring the surrounding scenery, turned around when he heard the sound, then his eyes turned to his mind, and he quickly climbed through the window and entered the cabin.
"Little wolf cub, come and let this alchemist show you, ten spiritual stones at a time! The medicine is guaranteed to cure the disease! I can't see that I will suffer a loss, and I can't see that I will be fooled!"
He smiled brightly, and if it weren't for the fact that there were other people around, Hua Ruxue would have imitated the cat demon and scratched him with her paws.
The cat demon said that this person sometimes has convulsions and needs to be beaten badly, but the advantage is that his skin is thick and resistant to beatings, so he can just scratch him.
"My cousin has just made a breakthrough, and his foundation is unstable. It is important to consolidate his cultivation." Su Yi reached out to stop Su He's movements, and stood in front of her, protecting her tightly.
Hua Ruxue guessed that he was preventing Su He from detecting anything abnormal by checking his pulse.
When she was reshaping her muscles and bones at Xifeng Pavilion, Su He looked at her for a month, but he still couldn't find any spiritual roots in her body. Even if he looks at her now, he will definitely not be able to tell anything.
However, they don’t dare to bet, what if? It's better to avoid it if you can.
Su He didn't seem to hear Su Yi's order to exclude guests, and sat down directly, as if taking root, filling a cup of tea by himself, and adding some more for Hua Ruxue.
He said: "You don't understand, life is short, it's time to enjoy yourself! This cultivation is just to live longer and enjoy yourself longer! According to me, this Jiugu Mountain should be called Jiule Mountain!"
"Senior Brother Su He is making a bunch of lies again. The purpose of our monks' cultivation is to kill demons and protect one party! How come it turns into just eating, drinking and having fun when it comes to Senior Brother Su He?" Su Zhi retorted dissatisfied.
Then the two of them bickered for a few more words. For some reason, Hua Ruxue suddenly felt sleepy and slowly closed her eyes amidst the noise of the two of them going back and forth.
In her dream, she saw the Wuwei Sword again. It was locked in a narrow box, as if it was asking for help from her.
Where is that? How to find it?
Since three days ago, she often dreamed about the Wuwei Sword. It always said something vaguely, and she leaned closer to it, trying to hear its words clearly.
Suddenly someone called her, and the person said: "Believe it or not, I'll throw you a little wolf cub?"
Hua Ruxue was startled and opened her eyes suddenly. The person speaking was none other than Su He. Su Zhi was still standing outside the door arguing with a red face.
I don’t know how long these two people have been arguing, but they are still there.
The tea in her hand was completely cold, and Su Yi poured her another cup. He explained: "Su Zhi followed Su He sneaking down the mountain ten years ago and accidentally fell into a fox hole. Since then, he has been very afraid of foxes."
Su He told her about this once when they were at Xifeng Pavilion. But Su He didn't say that Su Zhi followed him down the mountain. It's no wonder that Su Zhi always went against him. He probably got cheated a lot at that time.
If she were Su Zhi, she would definitely demand a large sum of compensation from Su He!
As soon as this thought came out, Su He seemed to see something through her eager eyes. There was a hint of inquiry in his voice, and he asked: "What did you two say quietly?"
Then his eyes changed and he said confidently: "Can you blame me for this? He said he wanted to see the fox, so I took him there! As soon as I turned around, he was gone! It took me a long time to look for this! He hasn’t repaid the favor of saving his life yet!”
Hearing this, Su Zhi became even more furious and could hardly hold the sword in his hand.
Hua Ruxue lowered her head and drank tea silently, confirming in her eyes that she was someone she could not offend. He can call the black ones white. These two brothers have the same black heart!
Three days later, the boat arrived at Jiugu Mountain. There are a total of seventeen qualified Golden Core Stage monks on this trip, as well as two out-of-body stage elders and two Nascent Soul Stage monks.
Qingyang Su Clan, except for the young master Su Yi, who is dressed in Tsing Yi, the rest of the Jindan disciples are all in blue. The identity tags they carry have their names engraved on the front and the word "Qingyang" on the back.
As soon as the group got off the boat, a group of red monks came towards them.
Among the monks, the women's clothes were embroidered with a peony pattern with gold thread, and the men's clothes were embroidered with a curling cloud pattern with silver thread. The leading woman wore a peony hairpin and one more piece of silk than the others.
She smiled, gentle and charming, and her eyes were full of charm, which made people unable to take their eyes away. Her red lips parted slightly, her voice was gentle and affectionate, and she said:
"Qingyang Su family has many talented people. We will enter the secret realm later. Please take care of these incompetent disciples like me."
"Elder Ying Cai is joking. Last year, Ying Changfeng, a disciple of the Sushang Ying family, obtained the top inheritance, and twelve other disciples obtained high-level skills. It is obvious to everyone, so I have to ask you to take care of me."
The person who spoke was the elder Su Jing. He was flattering but showed no intention of talking.
When Su Shang Ying's people left, Elder Su Jing snorted coldly and almost had his beard pulled off. He turned around and warned his disciples carefully: "When you enter the secret realm, stay away from them!"
The disciples immediately agreed, and each one of them talked in a low voice as if they had eaten a cannon barrel:
"The people from the Ying family are acting like monsters again! What bad luck!"
"Our Su family in Qingyang is closest to Jiugu Mountain and is always the earliest to arrive. Fortunately, they came a quarter of an hour earlier than us. This is obviously blocking our arrival!"
"The two families have been incompatible with each other since ancient times. Their conversation is just to show off!"
"It's strange to say that in the past, the Su Shang Ying clan could get two or three high-level exercises every year, which was incredible. Over the years, they can take away at least five high-level exercises every time! Especially last year, a top inheritance and twelve This advanced technique!"
"What else could happen? You're just lucky!"
"Last year, our young master was not here, but this year, with the young master here, we can't get any top-notch inheritance at our fingertips!"
"That's right, I'll wait until half a month later to see them deflate!"
Hua Ruxue followed closely behind Su Yi. She was already petite, but she was only the stature of an eight or nine-year-old child, and she was wrapped in a thick cloak. If she didn't pay attention, she would have thought someone was carrying a luggage, so there was no one there. Notice her.
She pricked up her ears and listened to the conversation of the young disciples, and had a preliminary impression of Su Shang Ying. It was Su Shang Ying who advocated eradicating evil and doing everything possible, but it didn't sound like he was honest.
Knowing clearly that there is a grudge, but still rushing to the door, isn't this looking for a fight? If she were an elder of the Qingyang Su family, she would not even reply!
"Su Yi, can you hear me? Top inheritance!" Su He suddenly put his hand on Su Yi's shoulder and whispered: "It's okay. It's okay if you can't get it. I'll cover you!"
"You don't know, these rumors and expectations are the most harmful to people. They always tell people without intention and listen with intention. It would be bad if you have inner demons because of this! Just like Elder Su Huaiqian, the inner demons have not been eliminated for a long time. This time If you show up, your life will be lost.”
When Su Huaiqian was mentioned, Su He sighed, and his voice became much softer. He said, "For the sake of brotherhood, I'll give you a 10% discount!"
Hua Ruxue: "..."
I thought Su He suddenly changed his temper and was worried that Su Yi would be ridiculed for not getting the top inheritance. He originally wanted to earn spiritual stones. Fortunately, she thought Su He was a good person just now!
The next moment, Su Yi suddenly stopped, turned around, looked at her, and said with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, cousin. You will listen to your cousin and charge it to her account."
Hua Ruxue: "..."
What does it have to do with her being a fox? She actually felt sorry for Su Yi just now!
You shouldn't have any expectations from these two evil-hearted people! Tell the cat demon when she gets back!
After walking another three miles, we reached the edge of Jiugu Mountain. The entire Jiugu Mountain was shrouded in a special barrier, making it difficult to distinguish the scene inside.
This barrier only allows Golden Core monks under the age of twenty-seven to enter and is useless against monsters. However, just in case, Su Yi still gave Hua Ruxue a special teleportation sign.
There are only four pieces of this sign, one for each family, and they can come in and out once without being restricted by their cultivation age. The head of the family was worried that Su Yi would not be able to obtain the top inheritance within half a month after entering for the first time, so he gave this brand to him so that he could use it to enter for the second time.
Jiugu Mountain is to the east of Qingyang Mountain, far away from the Forest of No Return, so there is no possibility of demonic energy here, let alone the appearance of magical beasts. Even if there are demonic beasts, it is impossible to break through to level seven.
As long as there are no fights among the monks during this trip, there will be no harm. Therefore, all monks who enter Jiugu Mountain will make an oath of inner demons and promise not to attack other monks during their stay in Jiugu Mountain.
"In Jiugu Mountain, every flower, every leaf, every grass, every tree, even a stone or a grain of sand, may be the top technique or inheritance."
"The secret realm is open for half a month. Within half a month, how many skills can be obtained depends on personal creation. This barrier is useless against monsters, so remember to be careful."
The two elders gave a few more instructions, and then a gap opened at the edge of the barrier, and disciples from other families and a few casual cultivators entered one after another.
Su Yi followed him into Jiugu Mountain with sixteen other qualified Golden Core monks.
