Chapter 77 The pilot program heard
Wen Rui went out that day and wandered around the temporary camp in the secret realm. He didn't specifically come to see Junior Sister Cheng's reaction to the announcement of the rescue plan. He just heard someone crying in the distance when he passed by, so he took a curious look.
The reason he came out this time was to find out why the seal of the secret realm had been opened for so long, but the entrance was still surrounded by several major sects, preventing the cultivators from going in to explore.
Only when there are enough cultivators entering the secret realm can the goods in the market be sold. If this continues for a few more days, Wen Rui will start to lose money.
In addition, Wen Rui was also feeling guilty, and was a little worried that the truth that he had opened this secret realm and tampered with it would be exposed. Then, if he discovered a new secret realm in the future, it would not be easy for him to ask for an exorbitant price for unlocking the secret realm. Even the several major Xianjiao sects that he had cheated might come to him for compensation.
Jindan cultivators are the largest in number in the camp, Yuanying cultivators can also be seen occasionally, while Fanxu and Huashen cultivators are relatively rare.
After all, the Guangling Secret Realm is just a small secret realm, and the treasures buried in it are still attractive to a group of Jindan and Yuanying cultivators. It is okay for cultivators in the Return to Void and Transformation stages to keep them alone, but sharing them with a group of cultivators, fighting for food like pigs at a trough, seems a bit useless and beneath one's status.
The elders in the God Transformation Stage from the four great immortal sects came only to help their disciples unlock the seal, not for the things in the small secret realm.
Walking among the crowd, many monks of the Chan sect recognized Wen Rui and pointed at him and whispered to each other.
"Isn't that the Jiejiao monk who unlocked the seal of the secret realm? Why can't I tell his realm? Has he become an immortal? No wonder the Mahayana elder had such a strange attitude when facing him."
"He has no realm at all. He is just a mortal ant. He relied on his good father to prolong his life. He has neglected his cultivation for hundreds of years and has been idle. He wanders around with his arms crossed all day long, but he feels good about himself."
"That's right. That guy is a useless cultivator. His backing from the Heavenly Court is wasted. If I were him, when I was going through the thunder tribulation, I would only need to put a parallel prose congratulatory letter on my head, titled: My Heavenly Venerable Father. I guarantee it will be more useful than the innate defense treasure."
"I heard from the elders in the sect that this fellow obstructed the campaign against King Zhou, killed countless Zhou soldiers, and committed boundless evil deeds. He was originally scheduled to be on the Conferred God List, saying that he was to be conferred the title of God of the Reincarnation of the Five Grains, but he escaped and was not on the list."
"The God of the Reincarnation of the Five Grains, isn't that the god who controls the country? The emperors of the mortal world have to worship him respectfully every year. It sounds good, too. Why is he running away?"
"Taste it, taste it carefully, it's delicious."
"Ahahaha, I get it now. The place where the five grains are reincarnated is just a toilet. It's even worse than Shen Gongbao who filled the sea eye."
"However, it is said that this fellow is quite rich and generous, and he lives a comfortable life among the people, so he escaped the disaster."
"He's just a prodigal son. His father, Wen Zhong, was a man who was on par with Jiang Ziya in the Jiejiao sect and presided over the anti-conferring of gods campaign. He received countless subsidies, but unfortunately he died in Juelongling. The huge amount of public funds that had not been spent became his inheritance, and all of it went to my son."
"He is just an ordinary person but he has a huge fortune. Isn't this like a child holding gold in a busy city? How can he live this long?"
"If he hadn't had a good father backing him up in Heaven and the protection of the Mother of Mount Li in the mortal world, he would have died long ago. But I've also heard that many people are planning to find an opportunity to strike him down. As long as they can accomplish this without anyone noticing, they won't have to worry about money for cultivation anymore."
"He doesn't practice either. The spirit stones are wasted in his hands. He is simply wasting blessings. Have you heard about him? That boy is lewd and obscene. He has a special hobby of collecting the remains of beautiful female fairies. He doesn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy them. I don't know what disgusting things he does after buying them."
"It's really hard to say what rich people's hobbies are... Come to think of it, I'm a little envious of his reincarnation skills."
"It's a pity that reincarnation has used up all my potential. Apart from being able to reincarnate, I have no other use for it. It seems that the way of heaven is still fair, ahahahaha..."
……
Anyway, there was nothing nice to say, and some of them were particularly sharp, but Wen Rui was used to it. He turned a deaf ear to them, swallowed the insults, and even politely greeted them with the Jinling Sect's international friendly gesture.
In public, people only scolded him, no one beat him, arrested him, or killed him. His situation was much better than before.
However, one still needs to be on guard against monks who seek to make money through illegal means, which is why Wen Rui has developed the habit of only traveling underground.
Along the way, I occasionally met acquaintances and said hello, but the greetings were mostly:
"Boss Wen, I haven't seen you for many years. How come you are still a mortal? Are you here to make a fortune again? Do you have any good stuff this time?"
"Boss Wen, I have a thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum here. Come and take a look. I'll give it to you if the price is right."
"Will you sell me the secret method to unlock the seal? What? You have to join Jiejiao to learn it? It also depends on your talent, you may not be able to learn it? Forget it, just pretend I didn't ask."
"Why haven't the goods we ordered last time been delivered yet? What? They were robbed by the Dingguang Immortal Sect? Aren't you all from the Jiejiao Sect? Why are you fighting among yourselves? Oh, don't be angry, I'm not scolding you."
……
Today, Wen Rui has gradually become more respectable in the world of immortal cultivation, integrating into the world as a businessman. He also maintains a tolerable relationship with several major sects of the orthodox teachings.
However, the world of immortal cultivation has always been judged by one's realm. A useless cultivator like Wen Rui, who cannot even break through the foundation-building stage, will not be recognized even if he makes great achievements.
He was like an illiterate second generation who had not even graduated from elementary school in the real world. He made a fortune by speculating and profiteering by relying on his father's status, and he also forced his way into the elite circles of famous universities. It was normal for him to be disliked and despised. Wen Rui looked around and finally found the target person who could get information. He quickly stepped forward and gave him the middle finger, making a formal international friendly gesture of the Jinling Sect.
"Fellow seekers, please stay!"
The person Wen Rui called was Mu Xiuyuan, the disciple of Zi Yang Immortal Sect who was ordered by the elders to pick up Wen Rui last time.
Hearing the voice, Mu Xiuyuan turned around and bowed respectfully in return.
"Master Wen, I bow my head."
"Why should I be so polite, my friend? We have known each other for many years and we have our own opinions. If you don't mind, just call me Brother Wen."
Mu Xiuyuan smiled bitterly and said, "Others don't know how famous you were back then, so they dare to act rashly. As the eldest disciple of Master Zhang, how dare I neglect the instructions of my master?"
Although Mu Xiuyuan has reached the Nascent Soul stage, he is more than 200 years younger than Wen Rui and one generation lower in generation. His master, Zhang Zhenren from the Zi Yang Immortal Sect, is of the same generation as Wen Rui.
"It's just a name, don't worry about it."
Wen Rui waved his hand and said, "Right, what is your master busy with? It's been six days, why hasn't he announced the official start of the exploration activity?"
Mu Xiuyuan frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Master Wen, are you worried about the slow business? There is no need to hide it from the seniors. In the past few days, several Mahayana seniors have been discussing new rules for exploring the secret realm. The results have come out and will be announced at noon today."
"Oh?" Wen Rui asked hurriedly, "What new rules?"
"Things are different now. There are fewer and fewer newly discovered secret realms, and the magic weapons and resources in the secret realms are becoming increasingly scarce. In addition, the cost of opening the seal is inflated..."
When it comes to the word "falsely high", Mu Xiuyuan glanced at Wen Rui intentionally or unintentionally before continuing: "But we can't just let people in and plunder randomly like before. Not only will it cause chaos, but it will also easily lead to conflicts and disputes. We are all disciples of the Taoist sect. It is not good to fight against each other for some external things."
Wen Rui nodded and said, "That's true. I remember that several times when we were exploring the Great Secret Realm, the disciples of several major immortal sects fought each other for the top-grade spiritual treasures unearthed. They were so confused that their brains turned into dog brains. It is said that there were casualties on both sides. There was a Return to Void cultivator who died, and there was also a soldier who was a Spiritual Transformation cultivator who had to release his physical body and soul to escape. It was really sensational and uncivilized."
Mu Xiuyuan's face darkened, and he said awkwardly: "Because of the previous experience, several elders have agreed to allocate the number of disciples entering the secret realm according to the share of the seal opening fee paid, and only Yuanying and Jindan stage disciples can enter."
"Oh I see."
Wen Rui said, "It means to control the intensity of the internal fighting when competing for magic weapons and resources. At least the death of a few Jindan Yuanying stage disciples will not hurt the body."
"No, that... can't be said like that."
Mu Xiuyuan looked embarrassed and said, "This is also a test for new disciples, which is equivalent to actual combat training before entering the world to slay demons and monsters. There are casualties in actual combat exercises, but they will definitely not be too many."
"I understand. Don't say anything that is not conducive to unity. Got it!"
Mu Xiuyuan felt like he had a thorn in his back and a fishbone stuck in his throat. He didn't want to talk to Wen Rui anymore. He was about to find an excuse to leave, but was stopped by Wen Rui: "But, only arranging Jindan Yuanying disciples to enter the secret realm, aren't you underestimating the senior immortals who established the secret realm? After all, it was the work of immortals, and the anti-theft measures are quite sharp. If we don't handle it well, the casualties will not be light."
Mu Xiuyuan was also stunned. He didn't expect Wen Rui to be so kind to remind him. He quickly thanked him:
"Thank you for your warning, Sect Master Wen. This is indeed a difficult problem that the elders discussed. The elders have already thought of a solution. They went into the secret realm together in advance to inspect it and cleared away the dangers that Jindan and Yuanying cultivators could not handle."
"It's better to be cautious. Tell Master Zhang to send some Return to Void and Transformation to lead the exploration team. They only need to guard against danger and not participate in the collection of resources and magic weapons. This is safer."
Wen Rui gave some serious instructions before letting Mu Xiuyuan go. He didn't know whether Mu Xiuyuan, who walked away in a hurry, could convey his message.
This is very good news. The main customer group for Jinling Sect's products is the high-end products that are loved by Jindan, Yuanying, Fanxu and Huashen cultivators. He cannot produce them for the time being.
But fortune and disaster go hand in hand, and there are also great hidden dangers.
For example, the Mahayana elders had inspected it in advance, so it was an appropriate solution to deal with the original secret realm.
It’s hard to say about the secret realm that Wen Rui opened the box. He secretly added a lot of ingredients and concealed the traces of dangerous traps.
Touching the stubble on his chin, Wen Rui frowned and thought: "Hiss, it seems that the stock of medical products needs to be increased..."
