Chapter 38 Secret Realm Opens

Liu Feng led a group of people across the square and walked towards the footpath due north.

"Senior Brother Liu, what do you mean when you just said that the assessment will only result in people being sent to secular stations to do odd jobs?"

While walking, Lu Li took two quick steps and came to Liu Feng's side and asked softly.

Liu Feng glanced at Lu Li and said as he walked: "Junior brother, I don't know. Our Qingyang Sect has external stations in major cities in Liangzhou. It is mainly used to collect some intelligence or resources. It is considered a part of the sect's foreign affairs hall. And the people responsible for these things are the handyman disciples who have failed in previous examinations."

"So that's it. Thank you, senior brother, for clarifying the confusion." Lu Li finally understood.

"Junior brother, there is no support from the sect's resources in the secular station. All the resources you want to practice must be redeemed by your contribution, so don't give up the opportunity to become a formal disciple easily. Otherwise, the third level of Qi training will basically be the highest level in your life." Liu Feng Kindly reminded.

"I remember it." Lu Li said gratefully.

Nearing noon, the group finally reached the end of the path.

A gray-black cliff stood in front of several people. The cliff was dozens of feet high and spanned two or three miles from left to right. It was high in the middle and low on both sides. The front was smooth and clean. It looked like a huge old tomb.

The smooth cliff in front was engraved with two large scarlet characters of 'Qingyang'. Lu Li just glanced at it and felt as if his whole body was about to be pulled in, so he quickly looked away.

At this time, there were three old men sitting cross-legged in a thatched cottage at the bottom of the cliff, chatting with each other.

Lu Li recognized the three of them at a glance.

One of them was Yu Tong, the second elder who had helped him test his spiritual roots.

One of them is Xiao Jue, the great elder of Tianjue Peak.

The other person, Lu Li, didn't know his name, but the old Taoist he met in Longxing Town was actually the third elder Fang Buwei.

When approaching the thatched cottage, Liu Feng asked everyone to wait outside, walked in, and saluted respectfully and said: "First elder, second elder, and third elder, all the disciples for this assessment have arrived."

The three of them looked at each other and stood up. Upon seeing this, Liu Feng quickly stepped aside.

Xiao Jue took the lead and walked towards the crowd. He glanced around and suddenly looked shocked. He walked up to Lu Li in a few steps and said, "Boy, you are actually at the third level?"

Lu Li didn't know why. Didn't he register through the Presbyterian Hall when registering for Xin Dao? Didn't he know that I was there?

After a second thought, I suddenly understood.

Although he had stayed in Tianjue Peak for a month, Xiao Jue never asked him what his name was. He always called him boy. He couldn't help but smile hoarsely, "The disciple took some pills and barely reached the third level."

"Tsk, tsk, you really surprised me. Your cultivation speed is no worse than that of my registered disciple."

"Brother, why are you so emotional?" Yu Tong came up from behind.

When he saw Lu Li, his expression suddenly brightened, "Fuck, it's you!"

After saying that, he immediately turned around and shouted to Fang Buwei behind him: "Lao San, come here. You don't believe me when I told you last time. See for yourselves whether this kid has Nine Spiritual Roots!"

"Nine Spiritual Roots?"

Xiao Jue, who was next to him, was stunned and suddenly exclaimed, "Is this the boy you were talking about last time?"

He remembered that the three of them had a drinking incident and broke up because of this incident. Yu Tong even broke his own banana tree while drunk.

"Who else is he?" Yu Tong stared at Lu Li with wide eyes, "Your name is Lu Li, right?"

Lu Li's face twitched, "Yes, elder."

"Your name is really Lu Li!" Xiao Jue couldn't believe it. He grabbed Lu Li's wrist and began to explore it. As soon as he probed, his round old face suddenly became extremely exciting, "I! Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, darkness... this How can there be such a fucking chaotic spiritual root in the world!"

At this moment, Fang Buwei also walked up.

When he saw Lu Li, he frowned at first, and then became even more incredulous, "Have you... participated in the awakening ceremony held by me in Longxing Town?"

Although Lu Li's body shape has changed greatly now, his tanned skin and monkey-like eyes are somewhat familiar to him.

"Yes, elder." Lu Li saluted respectfully.

"I remember you didn't wake up last time, right?" Fang Buwei frowned when Lu Li said this.

"It's like this. We were kidnapped by the evil Taoist Zhang Song on the way back from the awakening ceremony..." Lu Li roughly told what happened, but he didn't say that he had obtained the elixir.

What no one noticed was that just when Lu Li talked about being kidnapped by Zhang Song into Qingliang Temple, Liu Xinyu's eyes flashed with hatred.

After hearing this, Fang Buwei and the three of them were all filled with emotion, feeling that Lu Li had a profound destiny.

Although the three of them were very curious about how quickly Lu Li, who had nine spiritual roots, could reach the third level of Qi training, they did not pursue the matter further.

After some emotion, we finally came to the topic.

Xiao Jue took out eleven kits and asked everyone to come forward to draw them. After everyone got a kit, he said:

"Listen to me, you only have ten days. This assessment task is included in the kit. Everyone's task is different. You need to successfully bring back the task items to be considered qualified, otherwise you will fail the assessment."

"In addition, in addition to the tasks in the kit, there is also a jade pendant. You can crush the jade pendant when your life is in danger or after completing the task, and you will naturally be teleported out."

"If you crush the jade pendant without completing the task, you will be directly judged as unqualified after coming out. Do you remember this!"

His life is actually in danger?

Everyone's expressions changed, but they were relieved when they heard that there was a life-saving jade pendant, and they all said they remembered it.

Xiao Jue nodded and continued: "Although I think it's a little impossible, I still want to say that according to the sect's records, the founder of our sect, Master Qingyang, never came out after entering this secret realm, and the founder of the sect never came out again. The "Tai Xuan Jing" that I practiced was also brought in."

"The "Tai Xuan Jing" is a secret that has not been passed down by the sect, and its cultivation speed is far faster than the "Qingyang Jue" of our sect."

"According to the reports of previous examination disciples, there is a cave in the depths of the secret realm called Qingyang Mansion, which is most likely related to the Patriarch."

"So...if possible, after you complete your mission, try to break into Qingyang Mansion. Whoever can detect the whereabouts of the ancestor or bring back the "Tai Xuan Jing" to our sect will definitely give you massive rewards for your contribution."

Tai Xuan Jing!

The speed of cultivation far exceeds that of Qingyang Jue?

Lu Li suddenly showed emotion when he heard this. Even with the help of the Condensation Pill, the speed of refining spiritual energy still cannot keep up with the speed of absorption. If he really has a higher-level technique, he must fight for it.

The expressions of the others and Lu Li were similar to Lu Li's. When they heard that there were higher-level techniques, they all secretly made up their minds to break into Qingyang Mansion.

See this.

Xiao Jue nodded with satisfaction and said, 'Follow me! ’ Then he turned around and walked towards the thatched cottage, followed by Yu Tong and Fang Buwei.

After everyone passed through the thatched cottage, they discovered that there was a cave at the bottom of the cliff, but two feet into the cave entrance was blocked by a cloud of purple mist.

Xiao Jue and three others stood scattered about a foot away from Ziwu.

Then the three of them looked at each other and offered up a purple jade pendant at the same time. The jade pendant was suspended in front of the three of them. As the three of them continued to form seals, the jade pendant began to emit dazzling light, and strange runes buzzed around the jade pendant. .

"start!"

Suddenly, Xiao Jue gave a cold shout, and the talisman wrapped around the jade plaque on his chest turned into a stream of light and shot toward the purple mist about a foot away.

Yu Tong and Fang Buwei did the same, and two streams of light followed closely.

The three of them instantly turned pale and breathless.

Huh, uh--!

Suddenly, the purple mist in front began to rotate rapidly, and finally turned into a purple vortex, and strong winds swept towards the outside of the cave.

"If you don't come in now, how long will it take to wait?" Xiao Jue shouted.

Everyone looked at each other and seemed a little afraid of the whirlpool.

Lu Li frowned slightly when he saw this, gritted his teeth, and walked in first.
