Jianpi looked back at the outside of the courtyard: "I'm not here, but I just found him standing at the fork outside and peeking. And you may not know, boss, that this is not the first time he has peeked at you. I suspect ..."
"What do you suspect?" Lu Li asked in shock.
"I doubt that he has any bad intentions towards you. It's like he's always hitting me on the head with a stick from behind. He doesn't look like a good person." Jianpi said with a grin.
"You have the nerve to say that."
Lu Li curled his lips speechlessly: "The last time I came out, Senior Shu said that you had a dirty mouth and asked me to discipline you, so as not to make others unhappy when you go out and be stabbed to death by others. You are good, but now there are evil people here. Complain first..."
"Uh...this old man actually said bad things about people behind their backs. I think he should be the one who was stabbed to death." Jianpi said angrily.
"You still say! I have told you a long time ago that that guy Zhao Ji is not a good person, and I told you not to imitate him. He usually stays in the medicine garden and doesn't come out. He can be as mean as he wants. But you are different. , It doesn’t matter that you are ugly and attract attention, if you follow his example, you will be beaten to death sooner or later." Lu Li said seriously.
"Hehe, the boss is right, it's all Zhao Ji's fault! Take me back to the medicine garden, and I'll beat that guy up right now!" Jianpi said with a sneer.
"I'm convinced by you!"
Lu Li rolled his eyes at Jianpi and said, "Okay, you must be bored too, so just go back to the medicine garden and wait."
After saying that, he invoked the demon soul contract and put Jianpi into the medicine garden.
When he came to the courtyard, Lu Li stretched hard and instantly felt much more comfortable. He turned his head and glanced at Shu Heng's courtyard, his eyes slightly lowered in thought for a moment, and then he walked out of the courtyard.
Inside the hall.
Shu Hengzheng was holding a piece of dead wood and was fascinated. Suddenly his ears twitched and he looked outside.
Lu Li walked in quickly, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, "I've seen you, senior."
Shu Heng slowly put down the dead wood, looked at Lu Li up and down, and said with some disbelief: "How did you cultivate, and you broke through to the late stage in one breath?"
According to his understanding, 60,000 Yin Shen Pills would allow Lu Li to reach the mid-level fifth or sixth level of cultivation in more than a hundred years, which is very impressive. Unexpectedly, Lu Li broke through to the late stage in one go.
Lu Li smiled softly and sat at the table minding his own business. "A friend gave me a drop of mysterious elixir before. He said it was only useful for the mid-term. After taking it, I managed to break through to the late-stage."
"Oh? You actually got such a precious medicine, you are really lucky." Shu Heng had a strange look on his face and said doubtfully.
"Indeed, by the way, senior, the secret realm you mentioned last time has not yet appeared." Lu Li changed the subject.
"You have already appeared, but it's not time to go in yet. I was planning to call you out at some time, but I didn't expect you to come out on your own."
"Reappeared?"
"Well, as for what happened not long ago, we have sent people over to monitor. According to past practice, it is estimated that it will take two or three months to get in. But since you are here, I will take this opportunity to talk to you. Let’s talk about the secret realm..."
When Lu Li heard this, he immediately looked attentively.
Seeing this, Shu Heng continued: "Let's talk about the secret realm first. We in Yaowang Valley call that secret realm the Wood Spirit Secret Realm. It appears every five hundred years and stays for about ten years each time. In other words, ten years Within, you must come out, otherwise, you will have to wait five hundred years..."
"The Wood Spirit Secret Realm."
Lu Li frowned, and suddenly felt that these words seemed familiar, and then he was secretly surprised, thinking: It can't be such a coincidence, could it really be...
"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Li's changeable expression, Shu Heng couldn't help but ask suspiciously.
"Uh, nothing."
Lu Li came back to his senses and said quickly: "Senior, you just said that you must come out within ten years. I want to ask, is there any transmission channel there, or..."
"That's it, our Yao Wang Valley has built a reception array in Taiyou Forest. Before you go in, Yao Wang Valley will issue a reception order to each of you.
In the seventh year when you enter the secret realm, we will activate the formation. If you want to come back then, you only need to inject true energy into the guidance order, and you can return directly to Taiyou Forest.
Therefore, the pick-up order is very important, you must keep it well, otherwise, you may never come back..."
"I see."
Lu Li had a look of surprise on his face and asked, "So, what exactly is the thing that Yao Wang Valley wants us to look for?"
Shu Hengdao: "I told you last time that refining the Five Elements Pill requires the use of five precious medicines: Gengjin Shenye, Ancestral Wood's Amber, Water Spirit Clear Tears, Blue Flame Xuanjing, and Xuanhuang Earth Essence.
Nowadays, in addition to the Ancestral Tree's Amber, the other four species are cultivated in our Yaowang Valley, but the growth conditions of this Ancestral Tree's Amber are very strict, and we cannot cultivate it in the Yaowang Valley. So, you should understand. ..”
Lu Li nodded: "I understand, what Yaowang Valley wants is the Amber of the Ancestral Wood, right? I just don't know what kind of reward Yaowang Valley will give this time?"
Shu Heng smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about the reward. After discussion in our Elder Hall, everyone who participates this time will be given a hundred low-grade Yin Shen Pills before entering the secret realm."
"As for after it comes out, it will be recycled at the ratio of one drop of Ancestral Wood's Amber to 500 low-grade Yin Shen Dan."
Give me a hundred Yin Shen Pills first?
Lu Li secretly told Yaowang Valley that this was such a big deal, it was equivalent to a million high-grade spiritual stones, and he actually gave it away as soon as he said it would.
Moreover, in Lu Li's opinion, the recycling price is quite good. One drop of Ancestral Wood's Amber can be exchanged for 500 low-grade Yin Shen Dan, which is equivalent to five million high-grade spiritual stones for one drop of Ancestral Wood's Amber.
At such a price, if anyone exposed a drop of Ancestral Wood's Amber in the secret realm, it would probably lead to a bloody disaster immediately.
The people near the water tower get the moon first. After Shu Heng finished speaking, he took out another map and handed it to Lu Li and said: "This is the map of the Wood Spirit Secret Realm. Everyone who enters will have a copy. You can keep it first. Although it is very crude, it is better than No one is stronger."
Lu Li took it and took a look and found that there were several places circled in red on the map. He couldn't help but ask: "Are these red circled places where Zu Mu is?"
"Yes, these places have been explored by people from previous generations. There must be Zumu. At least Zumu still existed in that time five hundred years ago."
"What is this black circle?"
Lu Li asked, pointing to a place in the north of the map called Blue Moon Lake that was surrounded by a black circle.
Shu Heng chuckled and said: "This is where I want you to go. According to the news I got, there is a monster called the Mingyue Clam at the bottom of Blue Moon Lake.
This beast can produce a precious medicine called the Moon Flower Pearl, and this time, I want you to go to Blue Moon Lake to help me get a Moon Flower Pearl back..."
