Chapter 14: The Secret Realm is about to open, the battle for resources

After the banquet, the cultivators dispersed, but Luo Mingyan called Wei Zhong to his side and told him in a few words that the foundation-building seniors were interested in the Qingluo Wine he brewed. Among them was the master of the Dan Palace.

Wei Zhong was just worrying about how to get in touch with him, and now this opportunity came to him.

"I never thought that my Qingluo Zui could actually nourish my body. Is it because my body has been nourished too well by the "Health-Nourishing Technique"? Isn't it obvious?"

"Don't worry, Luo Bo. I will definitely brew a few more jars when I get back. There are still a few jars in stock in the courtyard. I will send them to Luo Bo right away."

Luo Mingyan was pleased with Wei Zhong's understanding, but he did not tell him about the secret realm.

In Luo Mingyan's eyes, Chu Zhong was just a cultivator who had just reached the sixth level of Qi Refining. He was still a whole small realm away from building a foundation and had no right to get involved in this matter.

Wei Zhong left, took the wine stored in his home and sent it to Luo Mingyan Cave Mansion.

He did not mention the matter of the Seventh True Disciple. It was too early now, and he needed to make more contacts through the spirit wine, and then make a request when the time was right.

Wei Zhong made up his mind to work hard on his wine-making skills when he returned. He would master this line well, as the matter of the foundation-building pill might depend on it.

The inheritance of brewing second-level spirit wine also needs to be put on the agenda. First-level spirit wine can only be of interest to those who are building their foundation, but it cannot be considered a precious item.

······
Three days later, the Qingmu Sect released a piece of news that shocked many sect cultivators and independent cultivators, and caused an uproar in the Mingyue Market.

"Two years later, the Qingmu Sect will open the 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' and will sell a large number of secret realm entry qualifications. Both sect members and independent cultivators can participate.

The opening of the secret realm this time is different from the past. If you are not a cultivator of this sect, Qingmu Sect will not charge you for the resources you obtain in the secret realm. If you collect precious spiritual medicines such as "Jade Marrow Ganoderma", you can pay the fee to give it to the sect's alchemist to refine it into a pill, or you can exchange it for spiritual stones of equivalent value...

Special notice: The resources of 'Qingchuan Secret Realm' are in urgent need, so please consider carefully..."

"Brother, is it really okay to tell the casual cultivators about the lack of resources in the secret realm?"

Yu Xianglan, the Lord of the Law Hall, said.

In the meeting room, Nie Yuansen shifted his attention away from the jade slip in his hand and said calmly, "What's wrong?"

This person is none other than the leader of Qingmu Sect. He has the cultivation base of the middle stage of Jindan and the aptitude of a single wood spiritual root. He is the Jindan True Person who has the greatest hope of achieving Nascent Soul Formation in Qingmu Sect.

Nie Yuansen replied, then turned his head to the side and asked, "Junior Brother Duan, if you were a casual cultivator before, I would have let you spend 300 spirit stones to buy a chance to enter the secret realm.

What would you think if you were filled with joy but found that this secret realm had already been plowed by the sect's disciples, leaving only some worthless spiritual herbs? "

Duan Delong, the head of the Dan Palace, grasped his gray beard and replied:

"Then I will definitely think that the Qingmu Sect is too deceiving and deceiving independent cultivators like us. From now on, I will no longer sell my elixirs to the Qingmu Sect members, and I will ask the experts to avenge this scheme in the future."

The Master of the Weapon Hall had a hot temper. He spoke like thunder, which shocked Yu Xianglan, who was sitting next to him, so much that she frowned and covered her ears:

"Why would I need to rely on others for revenge? I would have gone to their door long ago."

Seeing these two brothers from this sect always seeking revenge on their own sect, those who didn't know would think they were undercover agents sent by some sect. Yu Xianglan couldn't help but hold her forehead.

Nie Yuansen placed the jade slip in his hand on the table:

"Look, even Junior Brothers Duan and Zhao said so, so it must be true. And isn't this what we discussed earlier?

Now that it has been announced, it is better to think about other things than whether this is safe or not.”

He glanced at the three people:

"How are the preparations for the pills in the Alchemy Palace, the magic tools in the Instrument Palace, and the spells and talismans in the Magic Palace going?"

The three of them looked at each other and said, "Everything is ready!"

"Okay, for this secret realm, our sect can not only sell secret realm qualifications, but also peddle elixirs, magic tools and other cultivation materials. The spiritual stones earned from this will probably exceed the total income from the previous secret realms. This is the last chance for this secret realm to last. There will be no such good opportunities in the future." "Brother, is there really no way to maintain the secret realm?"

Duan Delong said with some regret.

Over the past hundred years, Duan Delong has relied on the output of the secret realm to practice elixirs and improve his alchemy skills. It is a pity that the "Qingchuan Secret Realm" has been broken.

Nie Yuansen shook his head:
"The process of the secret realm being integrated into this cultivation world is irreversible. This is probably the last time the secret realm will be opened. I don't know where in this world we will be when we meet again."

Zhao Bai touched his shiny bald head:

"What a pity! Our ancestors once said that there might be a divine transformation or even higher level inheritance among them. I didn't expect that it would be unavailable to us."

Yu Xianglan said:
"Junior Brother Zhao, didn't you uncover the floor of the inheritance hall but still couldn't find it? Maybe the sect's legend is wrong."

At this moment, a deep male voice sounded:

"There is indeed a profound inheritance in the secret realm, and my Qingmu Sect's Taoist lineage has absorbed some of the essence from it."

The three hall masters immediately stood up and saluted:

"Meet the Supreme Elder!"

Nie Yuansen just stood up and bowed: "Greetings, uncle-master."

"No gift!"

The man in green robe lifted up the three people with a light flick.

"sit down."

But the man had white eyebrows and beard, and in his hand was a green ruyi that was half a person's height.

"The inheritance of the secret realm is indeed true, but my Qingmu Sect only obtained the first half, and the highest level is only the Jindan stage. To go beyond that, you must use another method to achieve the Yuanying stage. The founder of my sect absorbed the essence of it and integrated it into his own, which is how this "Spring and Autumn Evergreen Art" came into being."

Among the four people present, only Nie Yuansen and Duan Delong practiced this method. Yu Xianglan practiced a method called "Five Turns Flowing Clouds". As for Zhao Baixing, who was good at body refining, he practiced the body refining method "Golden Thunder Art".

"For a hundred years, our sect has not been able to obtain any subsequent inheritance from it. I guess there is no chance anymore."

There was a hint of regret in the words of Grand Elder Lian Chengjue.

But he regained his spirits after a breath and said:

"I came to see you four brothers and sisters about the matter of the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range."

Nie Yuansen asked first: "But has a conclusion been reached?"

"That's right. The human cultivators of our palace have reached an agreement with the demon race, allowing humans to enter the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range to mine spiritual medicines and materials, and even capture and kill the demon beasts there."

Nie Yuansen was overjoyed: "Great, this will solve our sect's resource dilemma. The Mingluo Palace came before our Mangyuan Palace by several years, and now it's finally our turn."

"What should we do if a high-level demon race attacks and kills our human descendants?"

Yu Xianglan expressed her concerns.

Lian Chengjue shook his head: "The high-level demon tribe will not attack unless you provoke them. If they lose face, it depends on whether they can afford the price of attacking."

At this point, a gleam of light flashed in the eyes of Lian Chengjue, the grand elder of the Qingmu Sect.
