"Xuanhan, are you willing to go for a run?" He said nothing. Although he had expected this to happen, Xuanmu still couldn't help but frown, looked at Xuanhan, the son of the eldest disciple Xuandong, and asked in a deep voice.
"My disciple recently purchased a plant of "Gang Yuan Ginseng" and plans to stay in seclusion for a while to cultivate the "Yuan Dan". This good opportunity to explore the secret realm should be left to other junior disciples!" Taoist Xuan Han said politely, even though he would be disappointed. For the sake of his master's face, the gains outweighed the losses for him, and it was very dangerous. He really didn't want to wade into this muddy water.
"Xuanhan, where are you!" Ting Xuanmu's face turned cold and he asked Taoist Xuanhan, the leader of the Xuannan lineage.
"Master! This disciple is appointed as the steward of the "Huang Ling Cave". Recently, the sect has arranged for many disciples who have reached perfection in Qi training to enter the building stone chamber to "build the foundation." Some matters need to be taken care of by the disciple personally. The disciple cannot leave!" Taoist Xuanhan said hurriedly! Refuse to refuse, a few days ago Junior Brother Xuanming suddenly received an assignment to go out to the mountain. It seemed that he was trying to avoid this matter in all likelihood.
It stands to reason that a secret realm is an isolated small world. Various rare spiritual materials often grow in it. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a blessed land of cave heaven. Secret realms of various sizes are occupied by major sects. The quota is often extremely precious. Only disciples who have made meritorious deeds in the sect can be admitted. There will be rewards, just like Huang Shengzong's Huangjie "Crescent Moon Secret Realm".
And the "Jinhua Secret Realm" is the only Xuan-level secret realm in the entire Yunzhou. Its quota should be more precious than the "Crescent Moon Secret Realm". The Xuanzi lineage disciples should not be happy, why are they all afraid of avoiding it? ?
This cannot be blamed on the disciples of the Xuanzi lineage. In fact, this secret realm is indeed somewhat special. The entrance to this secret realm is located in Jinhua Mountain in Wuchuan Kingdom, so it is named "Jinhua Secret Realm".
Inside its secret realm is a dangerous and dense ancient forest where insects and snakes are rampant and filled with miasma. The forest is filled with swamps and poisonous pools, which nourish all kinds of snakes and numerous groups of snakes, large and small, also known as "miasma forest snakes". cave".
Moreover, there are patches of snake grass all over this miasmatic forest. A large number of venomous snakes swim among the grass and lick the dew on the grass leaves. Therefore, many snake grass mutated into "snake grass".
It takes two hundred years for the snake plant to bloom and bear fruit. The fourth-level elixir it produces, the "snake fruit", is a panacea for snakes. Snakes swallowing this fruit can not only improve their cultivation, but also strengthen their physical fitness. , slowly improving the power of blood.
This encouraged various spiritual snakes in the forest to break through the confinement of their own bloodlines, mutate to higher levels, and breed a large number of high-level mutated poisonous snakes, such as the ferocious sixth-level "Marg Abyss Red Anaconda", which is on the verge of extinction throughout the Eastern Yuan Realm. Hard to find traces.
But there are a lot of them in this secret realm, plus other fierce snakes such as the fourth-level "Giant Wood Python", "Diamond Python", the fifth-level "Green Wind Poison Anaconda", "Black Ringed Anaconda" and so on.
This secret realm can be described as a large-scale snake cave. It is no exaggeration to say that if you close your eyes and walk a hundred steps in the miasma forest, you can step on several venomous snakes. This shows the danger of this secret realm, but the danger of this miasma forest is far away. Not only that, it is said that golden elixir stage snake kings are often born in this secret realm.
It is also because of the snake grass produced everywhere in the forest. The snake grass has mutated into snake grass over hundreds of years, and the snake fruit produced by the snake grass is irresistible to snakes.
Therefore, all kinds of venomous snakes and giant pythons will fight fiercely to compete for this fruit. Every place where a snake plant grows will become a snake graveyard full of bones.
When the snake saliva plant absorbs the decaying corpse fluid of the snake corpse over many years, there is a certain chance that it will mutate again into the bloody and weird "snake corpse magic grass".
This grass also blooms every two hundred years and bears peach-sized green snake fruits. Its floral fragrance has a strong magical power and attracts all snakes in the surrounding area by bringing out the most primitive mating desire of snakes. gather.
During the flowering period of "Snake Corpse Magic Grass", spectacular "snake balls" with snakes wrapped around them and piles of meat often appear. When the snakes are dominated by primitive desires and are mating fiercely, the Corpse Grass will intentionally stop emitting the fragrance of the flowers, and the snakes will The group slowly woke up from the confusion and fell into a collective riot, which eventually turned into a bloody and ruthless killing.
Only a few powerful snake species could survive this riot, and the large number of snake corpses that were crushed and torn apart during the riot became nutrients for the green snake fruit to continue to grow.
Repeat this three or four times to absorb enough nutrients. When the last violent killing is over, the green snake fruit will finally mature and turn blood red after absorbing the snake's blood.
Only the snake king who survives the last killing has the right to enjoy this ripe snake fruit, so this fruit is called the "snake king fruit". This fruit is born in a pool of blood from the snake corpse. It is born with the killing and is also known as the "snake king fruit". It is called "the blood fruit of ten thousand snake corpses".
Although the growth of this fruit reveals evil nature, it is a rare treasure of heaven and earth. Its effect is very miraculous. The most miraculous thing is that it can greatly enhance the snake's physique, purify and stimulate the snake's own blood potential. Swallowing it can be said to have endless uses.
In addition, cultivators can also swallow it, which also has many benefits. Although it cannot stimulate their own blood like snakes, it can enhance their physical fitness and improve the quality of the original golden elixir condensed after the tribulation. The latter has the same effect as the "spiritual elixir". "Quanyuan Dan" is similar and is also famous in the world of cultivation.
If it were only the risk of the secret realm itself, with such treasures of heaven and earth, Xuan Han and Xuan Han would go no matter what. However, the biggest risk in this secret realm does not come from the snakes that are raging in the forest, and those that may exist. The Golden Pill Snake King is other monks who come into the secret realm.
The entrance to the "Jinhua Secret Realm" appeared in Yunzhou tens of thousands of years ago. In order to compete for the secret realm here, Yunzhou has staged countless sect wars, large and small, and triggered several sect forces, old and new. Change, the old sect hegemony collapsed, and new famous sects rose rapidly.
Let’s not talk about the distant past, let’s talk about the recent drastic change, “The Destruction of the Yunyang Sect.” About nine thousand years ago, the most powerful one in Yunzhou, with the largest number of mortal subjects under its jurisdiction, was called the “Yunyang Sect.”
The Ten Thousand Medicine Valley and the Spiritual Beast Sect were affiliated with this sect at the time, and the opposing forces were the newly-rising "Lingbing Palace" and the old rival "Great Wilderness Sword Sect".
"Yunyang Sect" is powerful and domineering. It monopolizes the "Jinhua Secret Realm" and does not allow other sects to get involved. Even the two affiliated sects "Ten Thousand Medicine Valley" and "Spirit Beast Sect" can only occasionally take control of it. One or two places were allocated, which made the two sects secretly dissatisfied.
In the end, the "Lingbing Palace" took the lead, united with the "Great Wilderness Sword Sect", hired an external Jindan late-stage thug "Huanglong Zhenren", plus the secretly betrayed "Wanyao Valley" and "Spiritual Beast Sect", and together they defeated "Yun Yang" The "Yunyang Sect" launched a sect war and destroyed the "Yunyang Sect" in one fell swoop, and the sect was expelled from Yunzhou.
After the war, Huanglong Zhenren obtained the four kingdoms of Shu, Yue, Lu, and Gaochang as agreed to establish the "Huang Shengzong". Therefore, the war was led by Lingbing Palace, which occupied most of the original Yunyangzong's vassal states, and Wuchuan Kingdom was finally included in it. under its jurisdiction.
The one hundred places in the Secret Realm are divided among the five sects, Lingbing Palace has fifty places, Great Wilderness Sword Sect has twenty places, Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, Spirit Beast Sect, and Huang Sheng Sect have ten places each.
This distribution method was obviously unfair to the four sects except Lingbing Palace. However, Lingbing Palace was so powerful that the four sects dared not speak out and became the new overlords of Yunzhou. However, this situation only lasted for a thousand years. As each sect in Yunzhou has gone through a thousand years of recuperation, the strength of each sect has grown differently.
Led by the "Great Wilderness Sword Sect", on the grounds that the allocation of places in the secret realm was unfair, the three sects of the Myriad Medicine Valley, the Spiritual Beast Sect, and the Huang Sheng Sect launched a conquest against the Lingbing Palace. There was another bloody storm, and each sect suffered heavy casualties. In the end, the Spirit Sect Ice Palace retreated and ended up ceding vassal states to the four sects.
After this battle, the Wuchuan Kingdom was occupied by the Spiritual Beast Sect, but the allocation of places in the secret realm became a thorny issue. The Spiritual Beast Sect asked for thirty, and the Great Wilderness Sword Sect also asked for thirty. Lingbing Palace, Ten Thousand Medicine Valley, Huangsheng Sect Naturally, they were dissatisfied. The three sects were weak but had the same interests, so they formed an alliance and Yunzhou became a three-legged power.
In the end, it was Master Huanglong who pulled the strings and invited a True Lord Panmu Tulong as a witness. The five sects reached an agreement and worked together to seal the entrance to the secret realm with a magical array. Each sect received a sealing array card, with a quota of 20 each. Only five sealing array cards can be used to unlock the entrance seal, which continues to this day.
But now that the Great Wilderness Sword Sect has been destroyed, the sealing formation tablet that originally belonged to the Great Wilderness Sword Sect has fallen into the hands of the Tianluo Tantric Sect, which means that this time the Secret Realm Tianluo Tantric Sect will get twenty places.
The three sects, the Tianluo Tantric Sect and the Spiritual Beast Sect have become antagonistic. The encounter between the two disciples in the secret realm of Jinhua will definitely lead to a fight to the death. The danger of this trip can be imagined.
If the "Ten Thousand Snake Corpse Blood Fruit" produced in the secret territory is not to improve the quality of the elixir, but to increase the chance of success in overcoming the tribulation, Xuan Han and Xuan Han will do it no matter what, but it will only improve the quality of the elixir. It's not worth taking such a risk. If you can't successfully overcome the disaster, what's the use of it?
And after entering the secret realm, there will definitely be fighting and fighting. Not to mention whether there will be dangers for life, if the "alchemy energy" accumulated over the years is lost in the fighting, what will happen to Xuan Han, Xuan Han and others who are preparing for the catastrophe? It is said that the gain outweighs the loss, so the number of places for this trip to the secret place is a hot potato, and no one really wants to go.
"Hmph! Each of the three branches of you choose one person and discuss it on your own. You can tell Xuan Qing later!" Both of them were looking for excuses to refuse. Xuan Mu couldn't help but feel angry, so he stopped asking and pointed at Xuandong. The three disciples, Xuan Nan and Xuan Xi, scolded angrily, got up and walked towards the cave.
He couldn't help but secretly thought: They are all cowards. Opportunities are ahead of them. They don't have any courage. How can they practice Taoism? If Ming'er hadn't been reluctant to become a Taoist couple and left a trace of his blood, he would not use any excuse to support Ming'er this time. With Ming'er's temperament, he will definitely rush to go.
I'll let him know this tomorrow. I remember that when Xuanmu was still preparing to form the elixir, the "Jinhua Secret Realm" was also opened. Corpse Blood Fruit".
Later, he used this "Ten Thousand Snake Corpse Blood Fruit" to exchange for a "Jin Yuan Transformation Thunder Pill" from a golden elixir elder in the Ten Thousand Medicine Valley. Finally, Xuanmu used this elixir to survive the disaster and was promoted to the golden elixir realm.
"Xuanyu is willing to go with my uncle!" Seeing his master Xuanmu getting angry, Taoist Xuanhan felt very uneasy. As the second generation disciple of Xuanzimai, he should set an example. Just when Taoist Xuanhan was hesitating , Xuanyu, the nephew of the second uncle's disciple, suddenly stood up.
"Not bad!" Xuanmu, who had only taken a few steps, was slightly surprised. This boy was not very eye-catching among the younger generation, and his qualifications were even mediocre, but his courage was acceptable. His worries in the past were not in vain. Xuanmu couldn't help but nodded in relief.
"Disciple Xuan Yue, I would like to go with the master!" Seeing the master's request, Xuan Yue stood up without a trace of hesitation. When everyone looked surprised, Xuan Ci also stood up: "Disciple also I am willing to go with my master and uncle, and I hope Taishizu will give me permission!"
"Master, Yue'er and Ci'er were just impulsive, please..." Liu Yu was shocked. He volunteered for the "Snake Saliva Fruit" in the secret realm and the essence and blood of various vicious snakes, which can promote Bai Niang is practicing. As for the rumored "Ten Thousand Snake Corpse Blood Fruit", he doesn't have high hopes. After all, this thing is too rare. It's hard to say whether he can find it. Even if he gets it, he may not be able to get it.
But before Liu Yu thought about Yue'er, Xuanci also stood up and asked for orders. Isn't this nonsense? What a dangerous place is the Jinhua Secret Realm?
Liu Yu still remembers to this day that Zhang Wuxin, a Dzogchen monk who almost accepted him as his disciple, died in this secret realm. The specific cause of his death is still unknown.
"Okay, it's settled!" Before Liu Yu could finish speaking, Xuanmu waved his hand and decided that the danger in this secret realm lies in the people, not in the secret realm itself. Master and disciple work together, so it will be somewhat safer. With Master Xuanqing With the disciples leading the team and the addition of three people from Xuanyu's lineage, this arrangement is not bad.
