Viewed from a height, the inner and outer gates of the Siji Sect present a landscape with a crescent moon surrounding three stars.
The three main peaks of the inner gate, Qianyuan, Kunyuan, and Weiyuan, are surrounded by the four peaks and one valley of the outer gate. The other peaks of Master Yuanying or Master Jindan are scattered among the inner and outer gates.
Yu Wan stood on the treasure ship that was about to go to Zixuan Plain in the middle of Mugu Domain, looking down at the scene under the ship.
After everyone boarded the ship, Pinqian waved his sleeves, and the clouds and mist over the main peak of the inner and outer sects and the area with a radius of hundreds of miles were shattered, and everyone was able to get a glimpse of the sect's grand scene.
In the four peaks and one valley of the outer sect, as long as the monks there have not been accepted as disciples by the master of the peak or the valley master, they belong to the outer sect.
If you are lucky enough to become a disciple of the Peak Master or the Valley Master, even if you are just a named disciple, you can be promoted to the inner sect and your daily cultivation resources will be doubled.
If you enter the inner sect as soon as you enter the sect, then no matter whether you are a disciple or not, you are still a disciple of the inner sect. The only difference is whether you are a true disciple or not.
Among the disciples who went to the secret realm this time, 90% were inner sect disciples and only 10 were outer sect disciples. They were the top 15 disciples who ultimately decided the winner in the outer sect competition.
Yu Wan turned around and looked at his colleagues on the boat, who were mostly unfamiliar faces. He nodded in the direction of Qin Yuqing and the others, and walked to the area where the Qi Refining monks were staying.
This time, except for the top 15 in the outer sect, who directly advanced to the early stage of foundation building after finishing first, the remaining 4 including the top five entered the inner sect. Everyone is still in the late stage of Qi refining.
During this operation, Yu Wan will enter the Qi refining area in the secret realm with them.
Because it was a sect operation, everyone wore sect uniforms.
So when Yu Wan, who was wearing a light ivory-yellow robe, walked into the moon-white, brown-yellow-patterned monks, he also attracted the attention of the surrounding monks.
They all looked back and then looked away again, continuing to discuss the action arrangements after entering.
"Junior sister Yu."
"Uncle Yu."
Yu Kuang is the second place winner in this competition and has been accepted as a disciple by the master of Wanfa Peak. At this time, he saw Yu Wan coming over and greeted her with his hands, and the rest of the people also opened their mouths to greet her.
Yu Wan also responded with her hands raised, "Brothers and sisters, just call me junior sister. We only judge my level based on my cultivation."
Hearing what Yu Wan said, the rest of the people breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, this true disciple is not as violent and arrogant as the rumors, which will also facilitate everyone's subsequent cooperation.
"This flight will take at least three months. We are going to make arrangements for entry before practicing on our own. Can Junior Sister Yu participate?" Yu Kuang asked Yu Wan.
Yu Wan agreed. She raised her hand and took out a plate of golden snacks from the ring, and said, "Of course I want to participate. The journey is long, so why don't we eat and talk."
Seeing this, Yu Kuang and the woman on his right moved to the left and right respectively, leaving a place for Yu Wan.
"Junior sister Yu is very interested. In that case, let's all sit down and discuss it." The woman on Yu Kuang's left smiled heartily and suggested. She sat down directly before Yu Kuang could react.
Yu Kuang didn't look angry, nodded, and sat down. Seeing this, everyone sat cross-legged on the ground.
"Junior sister Yu, I am Liang Lan, and I am third in this competition." The woman who just proposed waited for everyone to sit down and introduced herself to Yu Wan.
"Senior Sister Liang." Yu Wan also responded with her hands raised.
"Autumn coolness."
"Do you know the flowers?"
…
"Sister Yu, my name is Yang Mei."
In order of turning right, everyone introduced themselves one by one, waiting until the last one, the girl on Yu Wan's right.
She turned slightly sideways, her eyes were curved, and two pear dimples appeared on her cheeks due to the raised corners of her lips, and she introduced herself to Yu Wan.
Yu Wan placed the food plate in the middle of the crowd and handed it over to them again, "My dear Yu Wan, please give me your advice on this trip to the secret realm."
Liang Lan directly used his spiritual energy to pick up a piece of golden snack and threw it into his mouth. While chewing it, he smiled and said to Wan, "Junior Sister Yu's reputation as a rabbit abuser is well known to us. I will also invite Junior Sister Yu to work at that time." Be merciful and just leave some monsters for me."
One person finished eating and the other took another. Seeing Liang Lan's increasing speed, everyone glanced left and right, and also used their spiritual energy to take out the snacks on the plate.
"Sister Yu, what is this? It's delicious. The skin is crispy, but the meat inside is still tender, juicy, spicy and fragrant... Well, it's delicious."
Yangmei asked Yu Wan while she was eating. She kept pointing her right hand and controlled her spiritual power to bring the golden snack to her mouth.
"Chicken popcorn. It's fried with Huoling chicken." Yu Wan turned around and answered.
"No wonder, with such a strong fire spirit. Then this wood-gold spirit...is it Heyincao?" Yang Mei tasted it carefully and expressed her guess.
Yu Wan was a little surprised. Few monks used Heyincao to eat it, but she didn't expect that she could taste the bayberry.
I don't know if Yang Mei noticed Yu Wan's surprise. She explained while eating, "In the past, when I was hungry and dizzy while making weapons, I accidentally stuffed the silver grass into my mouth. The taste... tsk tsk..."
Yang Mei said, her eyebrows furrowed and her head shaking from side to side. After taking a breath, she laughed again, "I didn't expect Heyincao to be so delicious. Sister Yu Si, you are amazing."
By the end of the sentence, Yangmei, who had a mouth full of chicken popcorn, was already a little slurred in speech.
Taking advantage of this time, Yu Kuang introduced their half-formulated plan to Yu Wan. After finishing speaking, he opened his mouth and allowed everyone to continue the discussion while eating.
Throughout the treasure ship, scenes of monks gathering around and discussing could be seen everywhere.
Ling Yue and Wu Yue, who were already in Jindan, were together. Ye Xia Sang, the Kong sisters, Zhuang Zixi, and Yuan Ying were together. Qin Yuqing was running around with a smile on his face, not from Yu Wan's place. The only way to get food is to do business with other disciples. This communication skill is unique to the Siji Sect.
Three months passed quietly while everyone was discussing, meditating, and eating snacks.
Zixuan Plain has arrived.
Yu Wan and everyone else were huddled at the bow of the boat, looking at the plains in the distance. In addition to the greenery, she also saw neatly separated patches of blue or green.
As we got closer, the blurry colors at the edge of our consciousness became clear. It turned out that those were tents set up by other sects here.
"The dark green roof over there is Jiutian Pavilion, the deep sea blue one is Taibai Sect, and the indigo one is Xiaoyao Tower..."
Qin Yuqing was on the side to answer questions for his junior brothers and sisters.
Yu Wan looked at the red gold, indigo, dark green, dark blue and empty grassland arranged in an arc from left to right, and asked him, "Senior brother, which sect is the red gold tent?"
"That's..." Qin Yuqing frowned, staring at that place hesitantly. There was no such force in the information he received.
"Those should be the three major families of the Three Saints Domain and the Confucian sect." Zhuang Zixi stared at a familiar figure in the open space and explained.
"Get off the boat and settle the account."
At this time, the treasure ship also stopped at the remaining open space. Following Pinqian's instructions, everyone flew down one after another and set up spiritual tents in their respective areas.
Pinqian and Yuanfu also came out of the boat, flew into the air, and set up a tent with an ivory and yellow roof in the center of the open space.
At this point, the five major forces have arrived, and a five-color hollow ring has appeared on the plain. The main tents of each force are on the inner head.
The disciples set up spiritual tents, either practicing inside or looking for acquaintances outside to inquire about information. Zhuang Zixi hesitated for a moment, and then went to the red gold territory on the right.
The Huashen and Nascent Soul monks who were the leaders of each sect felt the arrival of the Siji Sect, and they also came out one after another and gathered in the main tent of the Siji Sect.
"I haven't seen you for a long time, Master Pinqian, but he is getting more and more airs. He made me wait for several days before you arrived. The scenery on the road was not bad."
The one who made the sarcastic comment was Zhenjun Chier of Jiutian Pavilion. He couldn't stand the behavior of gentlemen like Siji Sect and Taibai Sect. He thought they were all the same, so there was no need to act hypocritical.
Although Zhenjun Fuying of Xiaoyao Tower did not speak, he looked in agreement.
"Most of the scenery along the Siji Sect is nothing more than Lingmai and Lingdao, and cannot compare with the beauty of the vertical staircases and horizontal towers of Jiutian Pavilion."
Pinqian didn't seem to hear Chier's sarcasm, and responded with a gentle smile like the spring breeze blowing on her face.
"Hmph." Chi'er snorted dissatisfiedly and took the first seat on the left.
Fuying sat next to her in the second seat.
"Brother, we haven't seen you for a long time. Let's have a drink later."
True Lord Tongtai of Taibai Sect also arrived. As soon as he came in, he opened his mouth and called Pinqian to drink.
"Jumi Realm will only open in three days. Tonight is indeed a suitable day for drinking." Pinqian turned back to Tongtai and stood up to greet Zhuang Mingqian who came in a few steps behind him.
"Ming Qian, I haven't seen you for a long time. May we have time to drink and admire the moon together tonight?"
"Pin Xian invited me, so I have enough time."
The two looked at each other and nodded slightly. Zhuang Mingqian sat down next to Tongtai, the second person on the right side.
The Nascent Soul cultivators who followed were all juniors, so they all stood behind their respective elders or peak masters.
After everyone arrived, Pinqian spoke.
"I think the three of you should already know that this trip to the secret realm happens to be the time when the Tao Seeking Tower is opened once every five hundred years, so the three families of Zhuang, Kong and Mo from the Three Saint Domains also sent 10 disciples here."
"But don't worry, everyone. They are only here to find the Tao Tower and will not participate in the ranking of our four sects. And once they come out, they will also need to hand over 50% of the harvest. As for the distribution of this handover... naturally, it will still be based on the past rule."
"I wonder if you have any objections."
After saying that, he looked at the four people below him, and his eyes stayed on Chier on the left for a while.
Tongtai directly confirmed, "Is there any prescribed spiritual grass picking this time?"
"It's better to go by the needs of each case. What we ultimately look at is quantity, year, and rarity." Pinqian explained.
"There is no problem with the Three Saints." Zhuang Mingqian replied.
"Neither does Taibai Sect." After Tongtai finished speaking, he leaned on the back of the chair, quite relaxed.
"There is no Xiaoyao Tower." Fuying glanced at Chi'er from time to time and replied nonchalantly.
"Jiutian Pavilion... Huh, no." After Chi'er finished speaking, as if he had not yet relieved himself, he continued to speak, "Even if there was, would you still be able to pass? The opening of the Tao-seeking Tower this time is of great importance. How can you still deal with the issue of aliens? Haven’t you suffered enough?!”
Seeing Chier's rebuttal, Fuying also began to express some objections.
Pinqian, who was sitting at the top, just smiled and watched. Tongtai continued to sit and lie down to watch the play opposite. Zhuang Mingqian sat there with his back straight, but his eyes were also opposite, watching without saying a word.
The room was noisy, and the two men were talking louder and louder.
It was also very lively outside the account, with familiar disciples from various sects gathering together to share and inquire about news.
Qin Yuqing walked back and forth among the five sites. Like Zhuang Zixi, the Kong sisters also went to the Chijin tent to look for acquaintances.
Ye Xia Sang and Wu Yue stood awkwardly together. Wu Yue gradually became panicked after humming, grabbing his hands everywhere, not knowing what he wanted to do.
Yu Wan passed by Yuan Ying who was grooming the spirit beast in the tent, nodded to her, and continued walking forward.
She and Li Nian made an appointment to meet at the junction of Siji Sect and Taibai Sect. At this moment, she rushed over and saw Li Nian already standing there waiting.
"Where are the things?" Li Nian always looked like a handsome gentleman outside. It wasn't until Yu Wan walked up to him that he raised his hand to say hello. Then he dropped a formation plate and asked directly inside the formation as if he was impatient. she.
"Here." Yu Wan threw him a storage bag.
"What is this white snow jade cup?" Li Nian, who swept in with his spiritual consciousness, saw in addition to the pickled bamboo shoots and folded root dishes on the shelves, he also saw that the middle layer was empty, with only a few jade placed on it. A quality white cup, about the size of a palm, empty with nothing inside.
"The Vientiane Bucket. Go in and open this."
"Okay." After hearing what Yu Wan said, Li Nian stopped asking and directly put away the storage bag, took out another storage bag, and handed it to Yu Wan.
"Here are the spiritual stones and two jade slips. You can go back and see for yourself."
After Li Nian finished speaking, in order to prevent Yu Wan from overlooking some important information, he did not forget to remind him.
"The situation in the secret realm is special this time. People from the Three Sacred Realms are also here. Be extremely careful after entering."
"Don't worry. You too." Yu Wan nodded and warned.
Li Nian nodded, put away the array plate, and thanked me, "Thank you so much, Junior Sister Yu. I've accepted this spiritual food. Next time I make a reservation with Yu Ling Chef, I'll give you a bigger discount."
After saying that, he left with his usual smile.
Yu Wan rolled his eyes speechlessly and turned around to go back.
"younger sister?"
As soon as she turned around, she heard a call from behind her. Listening to the familiar voice, the corners of her lips raised slightly.
She turned around, looked at Mo Yiming in red clothes not far away, and called, "Brother."
Mo Yiming grinned and ran over excitedly, throwing a formation around the two of them.
Not long after, the formation disappeared, and both of them turned around and went back with smiles on their faces.
Soon, three days passed.
During this period, except for a few special tasks issued by Master Yuan Fu, Yu Wan meditated and practiced in his own account.
Ever since he met Yu Wan and made a contract with her, Heng Ha has been living a happy life of eating and drinking.
After being nourished by spiritual food for so long, it has finally entered the late stage of the 7th level of Qi refining. It is estimated that after eating a few more tonic meals, it can reach the 8th level.
In the early morning of the fourth day, the four True Monarchs Pinqian, Tongtai, Chier, and Fuying hung in the air according to their sect positions. As their fingers flew, colorful auras continued to emerge and merged into the void at their center. .
An hour later, the ground beneath his feet shook violently, and Yu Wan saw a light swirl slowly appear where the auras gathered.
The colorful light swirl grew larger and larger, eventually covering the sky directly above their heads.
"As soon as the secret realm is opened, all disciples should enter as soon as possible. Three years later, the secret realm will be opened again. Remember to protect the jade tokens on your body."
As Pinqian finished speaking, the disciples in the venue flew into the sky one after another.
The first ones to enter were the Golden Core cultivators, then the Foundation Builders, and finally, Yu Wan and the others.
Yu Wan flew straight up on the willow leaves, feeling the distortion of the surrounding space as the five colors flashed.
As soon as she landed and before she could regain her sight, she heard a roar in her ears.
Ding.
Taking action to block the attack from his waist, Yu Wan turned over and turned away from the place just now.
After landing, her legs were slightly bent and her upper body was slightly leaning forward. She held the Huangdao in her right hand and stared at the burly figure in the white mist, ready to go.
