Chapter 13: The Secret Realm, Integrating into the Realm

"In just eight years, you have advanced to the sixth level of Qi Refining. You have lived up to Fellow Daoist Chu He's expectations."

Luo Mingyan looked at Wei Zhong in the audience with some satisfaction.

"Thanks to Robert for helping me find a good job."

Wei Zhong lowered his head and said.

Luo Mingyan shook his head:

"Alas, being a spiritual farmer is not a good job. You should work hard on your own."

Now that Luo Mingyan is building his foundation, it is different from the past, so Wei Zhong must at least be respectful on the surface.

As Luo Mingyan's elder, Ning Cankun did not need to do so. He praised Wei Zhong:
"Not only that, Chu Zhong has learned a good skill in brewing spirit wine over the years. He often invites his elders and children to drink with him. The taste of the spirit wine is even better than the Shilixiang from Chunfeng Tower."

Wei Zhong secretly praised in his heart that it was not in vain that he usually gave wine to this old man.

"Oh, it turns out that my nephew brewed it himself."

He then instructed the servants to serve the Qingluozui sent by Wei Zhong to the banquet.

The three of them exchanged greetings for a moment, and then Luo Mingyan invited the guests to their seats.

Wei Zhong was sitting beside the wine table below the stage. He looked around and found that all the people below the stage were Qi-refining cultivators, except for four Foundation-building cultivators who sat on the stage with Luo Mingyan. Everyone knew what they were talking about, but the audience could not hear clearly.

"Those four seniors are also Luo Bo's friends?"

Wei Zhong tasted the spiritual food on the table and said to Ning Cankun beside him.

The latter put down his glass and smiled:
"Yes and no, but it will be in the future."

Wei Zhong already knew that he liked to keep people in suspense, so he poured him a glass of wine.

Ning Cankun drank half a cup and explained:

“Those four seniors, from left to right, are the fourth, fifth, and seventh true disciples in the sect.

As for the last senior in a red robe, he is a casual cultivator who has been practicing foundation building for a long time. His name is Taoist Hu Yang, and he is a well-known master of foundation building in Mingyue Market. "

Wei Zhong had heard of the seven foundation-building masters of Qingmu Sect and the Taoist Huyang who was a casual cultivator of foundation-building, but this was the first time he had seen their real faces.

"The seventh of the three true disciples is an old acquaintance of Ming Yan. His name is Shen Yuqi. He has the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood, and he is a disciple of Senior Duan, the master of the sect's inner alchemy hall."

"Is that Senior Duan who is good at refining foundation-building pills?"

"Yes, it is Senior Duan. Mingyan's foundation building this time is also inseparable from the help of this disciple of the Dan Palace Master."

Wei Zhong suddenly realized.

"Among the other two true disciples, the female senior is the fourth true disciple Lin Muxue, who is proficient in the five elements magic and is a disciple of the Dharma Hall Master Yu.

There is also the fifth true disciple Luo Zhigang, who is known as the Unbreakable Vajra. He is a person who has built a physical foundation and is a disciple of Hall Master Zhao of the Weapon Hall. "

The Qingmu Sect has three halls: the Alchemy Hall, the Equipment Hall, and the Law Hall. The masters of the three halls are all Jindan cultivators with extraordinary strength.

Anyone who has received the sect's true teachings can become a disciple of one of them.

"I wonder which temple Mingyan will enter this time."

Ning Cankun raised his glass and sighed.

However, Wei Zhong no longer had the intention to agree with him.

At this moment, the only thing in my mind was the way to the foundation-building pill from the seventh true disciple.

······
"Junior Brother Luo's spiritual wine is really good. It even has the ability to warm the body," Lin Muxue said in admiration.

When the other people heard this, they all tasted the spiritual wine.

Luo Zhigang said with some regret: "If that's true, it's a pity that it's only a first-level spirit wine, and its effect on me is minimal. But it still has some effect on you. Drinking it all year round has a certain strengthening effect on the physical body."

"I didn't expect my cheap nephew to have such a skill." Luo Mingyan also sighed:
"If you like it, I'll ask him to brew some more for you guys someday."

"In that case, I would be disrespectful to refuse."

Taoist Hu Yang smiled, and a chrysanthemum looked like it was blooming on his wrinkled face.

The other monks also responded.

"Speaking of which, Junior Brother Luo, your timing in advancing to the foundation-building stage was quite clever," Lin Muxue said, glancing at Shen Yuqi with amusement, "otherwise, we would have to enter that secret realm to search for elixirs this time."

Luo Mingyan felt a little embarrassed. As a sect disciple, he naturally understood that what Senior Sister Lin was talking about was the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' controlled by the Qingmu Sect.

This secret realm is the exclusive secret realm of the Qingmu Sect. It was accidentally discovered by the founder of the Qingmu Sect a hundred years ago. The reason why the Qingmu Sect was established here is also because of this secret realm.

It is rich in resources and has many kinds of spiritual medicines, including the medicinal materials needed to refine the foundation-building pill.

"Sister, please don't make fun of me. Last time, I searched for ten days in the secret realm and only found two auxiliary herbs, 'Thousand Knot Flower' and 'Golden Ginseng'. I didn't even see the shadow of the most important 'Jade Marrow Ganoderma'.

If I were to go again, I wouldn't be sure, so I asked Brother Shen for help."

Shen Yuqi shook his head: "Between you and me, there is no point in talking about asking for something or not."

Taoist Hu Yang standing by also showed great interest:
"Oh, so there is such a thing. Back then, I also won a chance to enter the secret realm at an auction, and luckily found a 'Jade Marrow Ganoderma'. Then I asked Senior Duan to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill, and with it, I broke through to the Foundation Establishment Realm."

Luo Zhigang then said:
"To be honest with you, Mr. Hu, the current 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' is not as good as before."

Luo Mingyan hesitated: "Brother Luo..."

The latter shook his head:
"It's okay, this is no longer a secret, it will be announced to the public in a few days.

The 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' has been passed down for a long time, and the exact time cannot be traced. We only know that it contains rich spiritual medicine resources.

Our Qingmu Sect has opened the secret realm every ten years for each generation, and has used this convenience to train a large number of outstanding disciples for our sect.

However, as mining continues, the secret realm is gradually unable to keep up with the supply, and resources are decreasing. "

Luo Mingyan asked with some doubt:

"Then why not keep the secret realm closed for a few more decades?"

Shen Yuqi explained: "Besides over-exploitation, there is another more important reason, which is the loss of spiritual energy in the secret realm.

In other words, even if the secret realm is closed, it can no longer provide a good growth environment for spiritual medicines.

Instead, it will cause the sect to no longer be able to obtain any spiritual medicine from it."

Luo Mingyan was stunned for a moment. He never expected that there was such a deep-seated reason why he couldn't find the 'Jadeite Ganoderma'.

Taoist Hu Yang was shocked: "How could this be?"

Not only the monks of Qingmu Sect rely on this secret realm, but also other independent cultivators.

Lin Muxue shook her head: "The specific reason is unknown. But my master told me an interesting reason a few days ago: 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' is being integrated into this world. The loss of spiritual energy is not disappearing out of thin air, but is merging into this vast cultivation world."

Shin Yu-ki echoed:

"My master also supports what Master Yu said. And it's not just my Qingmu Sect that has problems with the secret realm. The Luosha Sect in the next door Mingluo Mansion has also encountered this problem.

A few years ago, Luosha Sect almost gave up the secret realm and turned its attention to the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range. "

"In the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range, how dare the Rakshasa Sect provoke those monsters?"

"I don't know about this."

Luo Zhigang said:
“In short, in order to deal with this dilemma in the secret realm, the sect plans to completely search the secret realm next time.

This time, not only will the sect's Qi-refining monks be dispatched in large numbers, but a large number of secret realm qualifications will also be sold to independent cultivators."
