The old rule is to walk down the mountain first, then grab a random disciple and send him to the Spiritual Food House.
It's a pity that it's not Brother Yan who's in charge today...
"Good morning, Elder Chen Yao!" The disciple in charge greeted Chen Yao enthusiastically.
"Good morning, wait, what did you call me?!"
"Elder, don't you know? The leader held a sect meeting this morning and specially promoted you to the honorary elder of Xuanyuan Sect!"
"Ah?! I don't know about this at all!" Chen Yao was confused now...
"It doesn't matter. The elders and disciples in the entire sect agree with this approach. Everyone thinks that you are qualified for this position!"
"Elder Chen Yao, I am a loyal fan of yours. Your interrogation yesterday was so domineering. I was also there to listen to it. You were simply..." The disciple in charge actually looked at him with admiration and started talking endlessly...
"Okay, okay, stop it, what's good for breakfast?"
"Oh, back to Elder Chenyao, there are spiritual vegetable rolls and colorful silk in the morning."
"Well... let's all have one." Chen Yao glanced inside. The colorful silk noodles are noodles in seven colors. They are so fancy...
"Okay, Elder Chenyao, please wait a moment."
After Chen Yao finished his breakfast, he hurriedly left Lingshi Fang and randomly grabbed a disciple to ask for directions.
"Do you know how to get to Shenxu Pond?"
"Shenxuchi, are you from Xuanyuanmen...ah! Elder Chenyao, I'm sorry, Elder Chenyao, I just..."
"Okay, okay, just tell me directly." Chen Yao waved his hand to show that he didn't care.
"Elder Chenyao, if you don't mind, I'll see you off. This place is a bit far from Shenxu Pond." The disciple said respectfully.
"That's fine."
Chen Yao said goodbye to his disciple and got off the flying sword...
I saw two rows of disciples lining up in front of a gray-blue teleportation formation. It looked like the number of them was at least a hundred!
"Look! Elder Chen Yao is here!"
"Good morning, Elder Chenyao."
"Good morning."
The disciples greeted Chen Yao enthusiastically, and Chen Yao could only smile and nod in response...
Chen Yao responded all the way to the teleportation array.
"Why is there a queue at Shenxu Pond?" Chen Yao asked curiously.
"Back to Elder Chenyao, the cultivation space in Shenxu Pond is limited and can only accommodate a hundred disciples practicing at the same time."
"Oh..." Chen Yao lowered his head thoughtfully...
"Elder Chenyao, why don't I give up my position to you!" A disciple walked out of the queue and said respectfully.
"No, I can't bear to take up your precious training position." Chen Yao pushed the disciple back to the team.
"It's like this. I'm just going into Shenxu Pond to look for things. I won't take up my training position. See if you can accommodate me." Chen Yao said, cupping his hands to the disciples guarding the formation.
"I see, then Elder Chenyao, please come in!"
"Thank you."
The disciple guarding the formation took out the jade talisman and touched the teleportation array. The teleportation array instantly lit up with sky-blue light. Chen Yao nodded to the disciples guarding the array and entered...
After a brief period of darkness, a quiet beauty unfolded before our eyes.
Directly opposite the teleportation array was a huge pool filled with white mist. Chen Yao spent several minutes circling the pool.
The entire Shenxu Pond is hexagonal, covering an area of only nearly a thousand square meters. The borders are surrounded by white jade fences. The center of the Shenxu Pond is round, with a pool of clear green water filled with large lotus leaves. .
Above the pool, a hundred rosettes were suspended at different heights, and above each rosette there was a disciple sitting cross-legged and meditating.
Looking further up, at the top of this space, a huge milky white light bead is emitting bright light...
On the right side of Shenxu Pond, a several-meter-high boulder engraved with the words "Shenxu Pond" is standing upright.
Then...it must be impossible to hide the key nearby. The main reason is that the boulder is too conspicuous, so fools would hide important things there.
"Sniff, sniff..." Is the aura coming from the light beads from the top? wrong...
Although Chen Yao cannot feel the spiritual energy, he can tell where the spiritual energy is stronger through the smell in the air.
Chen Yao lay down by the Shenxu Pond, scooped up the water with his hands and smelled it...
Sure enough, the aura content in the pool is even richer!
Hey... in such a big place, where else can the secret key be hidden? Hua Yichen is not stupid either. He didn't get the secret key. There is probably some mystery in the water...
After thinking for a moment, Chen Yao sat by the pool and thought of a solution.
I have never been in the water in my life, and I am completely incompetent with water. So, the water-related things in my binding ring...
A bead with a light blue appearance and foggy white interior appeared in Chen Yao's hand: the Qishui Bead.
"Hey, that's not right."
Chen Yao took off his coat and put it away, then took Qishui Drops into his mouth, and gently touched the pool...
To be honest, he was a little nervous when he entered the water for the first time. After a few minutes, Chen Yao learned to seal his nostrils and breathe through his mouth, and he barely adapted to the underwater environment.
Opening his eyes, Chen Yao used all four limbs together and swam downwards in a somewhat embarrassed manner...
In the fifth minute, Chen Yao dived to about ten meters. The water pressure at this time made Chen Yao feel as if he was carrying about fifty kilograms of weight.
At the fifteenth minute, Chen Yao dived to about twenty meters. This time Chen Yao felt that the weight on his body had increased to one hundred kilograms! This also makes Chen Yao's dive more and more difficult...
No, if you continue like this, when you dive to a depth of 30 meters, it will be 200 kilograms, and when you dive to a depth of 40 meters, it will be 400 kilograms...
So if you dive to a depth of fifty meters, wouldn't it be... eight hundred pounds? ? ! !
no...
Thinking of this, Chen Yao quickly surfaced.
But when he poked his head out, he saw several disciples staring at him...
"Elder Chenyao, what are you doing?"
"Yes, yes, Elder Chenyao, there are no fish down here!"
A brother and sister who looked to be thirteen or fourteen years old squatted by the pool and asked curiously.
"Uh...I'm a little hot, so I came to take a bath in the pool. Well...come on and practice. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first."
After Chen Yao came ashore, he patted the heads of the two little guys, then walked away with his whole body wet.
To be honest, the disciples outside the teleportation array were a little embarrassed when they saw this look...
But Chen Yao could only pretend to be calm and found a disciple to send him to the sect hall where Hua Yichen was.
"Chen Yao? Why are you like this?" Upon hearing the movement, Hua Yichen, who was staring at the file in his hand with a frown, raised his head and said in surprise.
"Well... don't say it, and you won't tell me about the Shenxu Pond in advance." Chen Yao moved a chair and sat down, his palms lit up with a blue-red light, and he stroked his whole body several times. Finally, the clothes are completely dry.
"Have you been to Shenxu Pond?"
"Where else would I get myself wet?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, the secret key is..."
"At the bottom of Shenxu Pond." Chen Yao answered before Hua Yichen finished speaking.
"That's right! You are indeed a genius!" Hua Yichen praised.
"What a genius, the Shenxu Pond is just that big, where else can you hide it?"
"But... what's going on with the water in the pool? Why does it feel like I'm carrying a hundred kilograms after diving twenty meters? Also, how deep is the pool?" This is the question that Chen Yao is most concerned about. .
"The depth of Shenxu Pond is only a hundred meters..."
"Just?? I'll give you a calculation. At ten meters deep, the load weighs fifty kilograms. At twenty meters deep, the load weighs one hundred kilograms. At 30 meters deep, the load weighs two hundred kilograms. At forty meters deep, it weighs four hundred kilograms. Five Ten meters and eight hundred kilograms, sixty meters and one thousand six hundred kilograms, seventy meters and three thousand two hundred kilograms, eighty meters and six thousand four hundred kilograms, ninety meters and twelve thousand eight hundred kilograms, and the position of one hundred meters is also At the bottom of the Shenxu Pond, you have to carry 25,600 kilograms! A total of 25,600 kilograms!!!"
At the end of the day, Chen Yao went crazy!
"Alas! This is why the secret key has not been obtained until now."
"Xian Sect Master told me before he left that the secret treasure he left behind... is very likely to be dusted forever! Now it seems... that is indeed the case..."
"The great elder of the sect, Bai He, specializes in water-based exercises. He tried to dive at first, but he only managed to dive to a depth of 80 meters and could not go any further. Bai He even suffered from it afterwards. He was seriously injured and it took him several weeks to recover!"
Hua Yichen held his forehead and sighed, obviously a little upset because of this matter.
"Hiss...water...huh?" Chen Yao suddenly remembered a few things...
"Well, then I'll think of a solution." Chen Yao turned around and left.
"My dear son-in-law, stay! I have a few things to give you."
"Oh!? What is it? Take it out quickly!" Chen Yao walked quickly to Hua Yichen, rubbing his hands and asked curiously.
"This is the jade sword you have as an honorary elder. You put a drop of blood on it first."
"Okay." Chen Yao put his finger into his mouth and bit it, then dropped a drop of blood on the emerald green kendama.
The blood was absorbed the moment it came into contact with the kendama. The green kendama flashed a green light and then returned to normal...
"I have injected a split soul into this jade kendama. If you are in danger, smash the kendama into pieces. My split soul will first appear to block you for a moment, and then I will rush to your aid at full speed. "
"Oh! My father-in-law is very interested! I have to put this away!" Chen Yao put the jade sword away with satisfaction.
"These four storage rings belong to Chen Shimei and his son, and Leng Yan and his grandson. All their personal belongings are stored in them." Hua Yichen said, handing out four white jade rings.
"Give it all to me?! Shouldn't this be handed over to the sect?"
To be honest, I don’t want it to be fake, but Chen Yao actually really wants to see what good stuff is inside...
"Yes, that's how it should be, but all the elders and I agree that these storage rings should be given to you personally. After all, in the past few days, you have resolved the crisis for Xuanyuan Sect and broken the sword..."
"Okay, then I'll accept it..."
"But I don't take it from you for nothing. Here, I'll give you this thing. You think it's quite valuable... But because of our relationship, I won't hide it from you. This thing is everywhere near my house. Yes, grab a big handful and use them as firewood!”
Chen Yao took out five complete black Rakshasa vines and placed them on the table.
"Is this true??"
"Tch! Why did you lie to me? Otherwise, I would have brought so much?"
"I'll get you some more when I get the chance. I didn't bring enough when I went out this time."
"Okay, I'm leaving first." Chen Yao put away the four storage rings and was about to leave.
"Wait... Then, I'll give this to you too." Hua Yichen handed out an emerald green storage ring as if he had made up his mind.
"Huh? Whose storage ring is this?" Chen Yao asked after the storage ring.
"Qiao Luluo...elder."
"Huh? It belongs to your little lover? Forget it, I don't want it, you should keep it for yourself... No! Did you expel her from the sect??!" Chen Yao was so frightened that he jumped three feet high. !
"No...she left the sect voluntarily, but she hoped to retain her cultivation..." Hua Yichen looked a little disappointed.
"You didn't keep her??"
"She tried to stay...but she said unless..."
"Unless what?"
"Unless I marry her... I'm already this old... Alas!"
"You are stupid, don't you just have one more concubine? What's wrong with you, the majestic leader, having two wives? Go and get her back!" Chen Yao was spinning anxiously...
"Oh... let it go! It's too late..." After Hua Yichen handed over the storage ring, he slumped down on the seat and waved to chase Chen Yao away in a daze.
"Tsk, I'm too lazy to talk to you, let's go!"
Putting away the storage ring, Chen Yao left the hall. He had more important things to do...
After Chen Yao left, there was only a long sigh left in the silent hall...
