Similar to what Fang Kill described, the cliff was slightly concave, and the secret realm was embedded at the bottom of the rock wall, and a layer of gray-white "membrane" shrouded this one-foot area.

The septum is half a mussel shell, covering the bottom corner of the cliff, surrounded by a number of "extraordinary" growing vines that hang and hide the edges.

In the ruined cauldron stream, such a small place is really inconspicuous. But this is a precious secret place!

The gray-white "membrane" is the area where the two spaces overlap, and the overlap of the space is easy to enter and difficult to exit, and the fog from the cauldron stream penetrates into the overlapping area of the space for a long time, and cannot be overflowed, and accumulates into a white "film".

And that gray is a trace of void energy. The secret realm is a small independent space, usually separated from the structure of heaven and earth, when it comes into contact with the large space where the land of God is located, it will first collide violently and squeeze, and then the two will gradually merge.

The collision phase is relatively fast, lasting a day or two at most. After that, the integration phase will take a long time, maybe a year or two, or ten years, or decades.

Due to the initial collision and squeezing, it is easy to cause the creation of spatial cracks, and the primordial energy in the Endless Void will penetrate into the Divine State.

When that trace of primordial energy mixed with the mist, it formed the grayish-white color in front of him.

Zishang shoved the furball monster deeper, causing it to bounce off the distance.

After looking at this gray and white diaphragm for a while, he also tried to "poke" the sapling in his hand, but only three feet long, he encountered great resistance, and broke the sapling with one force.

Obviously, three feet away, the space is distorted more ruthlessly, and the sapling can't be bent so hard, and it is overwhelmed and broken under the pressure of external forces.

After a closer look at the overlapping space, it didn't gain much, after all, a martial artist of Zishang's level could only be seen with the naked eye. The spatial overlap that can be seen by the naked eye is only ghosting.

Only through the external exploration of the soul power can the mystery be analyzed in three dimensions.

Next, Zishang noticed "anomalous" vegetation at the edge of the diaphragm.

Ordinary ivy vines grow unusually lush at the edge of the overlapping area of space.

The vines are as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and the color is dark cyan, faintly shiny, and slightly shimmering with cyan.

Cut open a vine with a dagger, only to see a stream of dark green gelatinous liquid gushing out of it, condensing but not dissipating.

Shout!

A shadow finch butterfly flew down to the cut of the vine, and the straw-like mouth reached into the juice and siphoned into the stomach.

Unlike the dark gray shadow finch butterfly in the outside world, the shadow finch butterfly in the cauldron is white with a light green in between, and its body size is about half the size of the outside world, and it is more energetic.

"It seems that it is affected by the aura of the secret realm, these vines contain a strong vitality, then this juice is a good thing! ”

Zishang thought to himself, and while patting away the "greedy cup" shadow finch butterfly, he took out a crystal tube from the storage ring, made a few cuts on the main stem of the vine, and filled a whole tube of vine juice.

"No!

As soon as the plug was plugged, Zishang suddenly realized his mistake.

The reason why these vines grew luxuriantly was because some of the vines had penetrated into the overlapping spaces, where the spiritual energy in the secret realm was most abundant.

As the vines grow, the function of the root system will be greatly weakened, and those vines that grow into the overlapping space will continuously transfer the spiritual energy in the secret realm back to the main body of the vine, gradually replacing the role of the root system.

So the best quality of the juice should be in the rattan that "roots" the diaphragm.

Since he was not sure about the difference in the quality of the sap from each part of the same vine, Zishang reinstalled a new tube.

Comparing the liquid in the two crystal tubes, I don't know if it's a psychological effect, Zishang always feels that the tube collected after the collection is greener and brighter.

After putting away the two tubes of vine juice, he looked around for any high-grade spirit herbs.

The sharp Zhanchen Sword easily cut through the staggered vines, but except for a green grass fruit that was close to a hundred years old, nothing else.

The 100-year vintage here does not really mean that it has grown for 100 years, and the medicinal material year is also standardized, which is formulated by the authority in the medicinal material industry, the Materia Medica.

The Materia Medica Society does not belong to the dynastic forces, it is a purely academic institution. They were in a medicinal valley in the mountains northwest of the dynasty, where most of the known medicinal herbs were cultivated.

The condition of the herb growing there for one year is the standard year of the herb.

There are places where the aura is extremely strong, but the cultivation is all natural treasures, and most of the medicinal herbs are still grown in a relatively common environment.

The green grass fruit picked by the sub-merchant is close to the secret realm, and it obtains a lot of aura, so the standard year is longer than its actual growth time.

After a thorough inventory, only one green grass fruit was harvested, and the merchant was very unwilling.

He couldn't get into the secret realm, and there was nothing good outside, so he risked his life to come here, which was too much of a loss.

Ripping off the greenery that covered the edge of the overlapping space, Zishang knocked on the rock wall at the junction.

Hard! but dross!

When the space is squeezed, the rock wall is directly distorted, although the density of the rock is greater, but the internal structure of the rock is also seriously damaged, and it is easy to break and drop slag.

"I don't know if the mountain is squeezed out of a big hole by this secret realm......

Although Zishang wanted to split the whole mountain to see if there was a huge "bubble" inside, he couldn't do it, so he could only think about it in his head.

"It looks like I can't really get in......"

Helplessly, Zishang could only end the initial exploration and carefully return the same way.

There was no cover for the furball monster when he went out, so Zishang reapplied a layer of powder to isolate the smell, bent down and clinged to the cliff, turned back three times in one step, and walked out slowly and cautiously.

In the past, those who came to explore and hunt for treasures were all powerful gods and cultivators, and at the very least, they were all high-level qi refining realms in teams, even if they were careful, they couldn't walk so slowly and carefully like Zishang like a turtle.

They will subconsciously think that their own strength is okay, and even if they are invincible in danger, they still have the ability to escape. So the action is also relatively bold, and there is still some "swagger" after all.

On the contrary, it is particularly safe to move at a turtle speed like a sub-merchant. In the whole process of going out, I passed by a nest of "poisonous termite beasts" and was forced to run wildly.

I didn't climb the cliffs because I couldn't climb them......

After running out of a certain range, he ran into several fog lynxes, and Zishang climbed to the cliff in embarrassment, and another fog lynx jumped up and almost dragged him down. Zishang was lucky enough to slash a sword at the door of its head and survived.

After coming out of the mountain stream, Zishang relaxed a little, but the necessary vigilance was still maintained.

Everywhere in this barren jungle, there are dangers.

On the evening of the third day after leaving Niuliu Commercial Port, the Zishang rushed back, although the people of the Baili family were puzzled, but since they had returned safely, they didn't ask anything.

Back in his small courtyard, Zishang slept with his head covered, his nerves were tense for the past three days, and he was always on guard against various dangers, and the soul nourishing formula could only relieve fatigue to a certain extent, and he had to sleep naturally to fully recover his energy.

At three o'clock the next day, Baili Leopard suddenly broke in, and without saying a word, he tore Zishang off the bed, and then dragged him to a restaurant not far away.

"What are you doing?

"Hey, hey, let me stand up, you slipped my shoes off!"

"Oh! I'm x, don't pull my master's hair!"

"Brother, can you let it go?"

……

At that time, there were also many people on the road, looking at these two people strangely and talking about it.

Baili Leopard turned a deaf ear to the muttering of the people around him and the cries of the merchants, and ran into the "Mudu Restaurant" in a hurry.

Bang!

Zishang was thrown on the bench, and his body slammed to the edge of the table due to inertia.

"Ahem! I ...... Ahem!"

Zishang wanted to cry, but his chest was depressed and painful, and he couldn't stop coughing for a while, and he couldn't say a word.

With tears in his eyes, he looked at Baili Cat and the others, hoping to be comforted.

However, Baili Mao and the others all frowned and were silent with solemn faces.

"Ahem...... Ahem......"

Feeling that the atmosphere was weird, Zishang couldn't help but try his best to calm down, looking at the Baili brothers who were worried, and secretly guessing the reason in his heart.

"You can't be suspicious of me, right?"

The weak-hearted Zishang was also affected by the atmosphere, and his heart was depressed for a while, and his eyes kept wandering around the faces of several people, trying to read something.

After looking at the two breaths without a clue, Baili Cat glanced up at Zishang, and at the same time glanced to the side.

Zishang couldn't help but calm down, and the lively discussions at other nearby wine tables came into his ears.

“…… Don't you know, Dangyi and Xiaoyi were on alert overnight, and the city guards raised the banners of the merchant army one after another, and our caravan was checked for two days before it was released. ”

Dangyi and Xiaoyi are two small cities on the southern edge of the Central Plains.

Hearing Shang Jun, Zishang's heart tightened, and he was busy concentrating on listening to the conversation of those people.

"I can't think of it! Those people from Dayi Shang have already started a full-scale war with Cheng Hao, and the border towns like Dang and Xiao have all mutinied, not to mention the Central Plains, it's too chaotic. Our caravan doesn't plan to go back for a while, so let's stay here in Dongyi for a while and watch them fight with the immortals. ”

Zishang was stunned, Dayi Shang, Grandpa and Ying Hao went to war, and ...... It's an all-out war!

Grandpa really ...... Can you win?

He frowned tightly, he was very worried about his grandfather's safety, he had been out for so long, he had also learned some about the situation of the Dahao Dynasty, and this tip of the iceberg alone shocked Zishang, and grandpa started a war like this?

Here he thought to himself, and the conversation went on there.

At the next table sat a Dongyi person, and he said with a slight mockery: "Aren't you Central Plains people just like to fight for power and profit? Don't let go of the peaceful and prosperous world, and the chickens and dogs that have to make trouble are restless. ”

The man who spoke the loudest just now also said helplessly: "Who wants to mess up? It's not all the gangsters above who are fighting! These ordinary people under us can only suffer!"

Another Central Plains merchant at this table sighed and said sadly: "This is just civil strife, no matter what the result is, it is still our dynasty of the Central Plains." I'm worried that the Ming Dynasty in the north will suddenly go south and reap the benefits!"

Although he only said the Ming Dynasty in the north, in fact, Dongyi and Miao Man in the south were not eyeing each other, but they were in Dongyi, so it was inconvenient to say it clearly.

"The Da Ming in the north is really hateful, the original Dayue Dynasty and our Central Plains have been friendly and peaceful for a long time, but who knows that it will be the same as the original Dashang, and the dynasty will change overnight. The rugged man also lamented.

"The new Daming has great ambitions, and he has harassed him many times before, and now he has 100,000 soldiers on my northern border! I really hope that both Dayi Shang and Cheng Hao will be restrained, and don't make wedding dresses for others......

Another merchant of Central Plains clothing said: "The Niuliushan competition is about to begin, but something like this has happened in the Central Plains, I hope nothing will go wrong." ”

……

After listening to it for a while, Zishang probably understood some of the situation in the Central Plains, and also knew the reason why the Baili brothers pulled him over.

Several people did not continue to stay in the restaurant, and returned to the residence of the Baili family, where the Baili brothers gathered in the small courtyard of the businessman.

"Zishang, don't worry, although Dayi Shang and Dahao Dynasty have started a war, our Baili family is neutral and will definitely not be unfavorable to you!"

Zishang's face turned slightly pale, and he grinned reluctantly: "Of course I can trust you. It's just a little worried about the ...... of my family members."

This kind of struggle for royal power is bound to be life and death, and the losing side is likely to be hit by the extermination.

The Baili brothers also know the seriousness of the problem, but there is nothing they can do.

"Otherwise, you join our Baili family! we will definitely take care of you!" Baili Cat suggested again.

Although it is taboo for people to abandon their family and join other families, they are also for the sake of Zishang and want to protect him as well as possible.

"Good intentions, but as a descendant of the Great Shang family, I will never abandon my family!" Zishang politely rejected Baili Mao's suggestion and solemnly stated his position.

In this regard, the Baili brothers had nothing to do except sigh.

"Zishang, you will always be our brother, no matter what, we will protect you!" Baili Tiger put his arm around Zishang's shoulder, looking like a big brother.

"Hmm!"

Wandering alone on the rivers and lakes, how lucky it is to have a group of righteous brothers.

After the Baili brothers left, Zishang closed the door and lay on the bed thinking.

"The Niuliushan competition must have a deep meaning, what do the Dahao Dynasty and the Dongyi Alliance want to do through this competition?

All kinds of doubts poured out, but Zishang couldn't figure it out at all.

"Hey! Or we're going to make a fuss about this fight! It's all a puddle of muddy water anyway, so let's just stir it up again!"

A plan is gradually taking shape in the mind of the sub-businessman, although there are many loopholes, but it is all nonsense anyway, as long as the situation gets out of control!

The next day, a piece of information quickly spread in the Niuliu commercial port:

At a depth of 500 zhang in the northwest of the cauldron stream, the secret space is shocked!
