Su Qi lived in a palace in the lake.

After descending the mountain, Su Qi realized that the palace and the lake beneath it were far bigger than it looked when he was in the mountain.

Standing on the edge of the lake, like looking at the sea, the blue waves are thousands of miles, still can't get a glimpse of its full picture, the aura in the lake rises, the faint mist is not only mixed with slightly cool moisture, but also with countless aura points, Su Qi inhaled lightly, the sea of spirit became active, and the whole body was filled with an indescribable sense of comfort.

This is simply a holy place for monks, and the aura is so rich that any cave blessed land that Su Qi has ever been stunned cannot match.

"This place is called Changxia, it is a secret place found by a barbarian ancestor many years ago, in the beginning, this place is not what it is now, although there are flowers and trees, birds, beasts, insects and fish in the secret land, but the whole secret place is declining, and the vitality is also passing little by little, and it will wither into a dead world in less than a thousand years, the ancestor very much hopes to create a peaceful residence, the size of this secret place is just right, and there is no dangerous environment and beasts inside, so he decided to spend a lot of effort to reborn this secret place, which is not an easy task, almost bankrupt his family, but his efforts have been rewarded, this secret place has successfully survived。 ”

"After his passing, the secret land fell into our hands, and Master and some other elders went one step further and joined forces to make this a sacred place for monks, but of course, it was quite costly. ”

It was Chang Su who was in charge of entertaining Su Qi, but in her introduction, there were still many things that were not explained, how did the secret land fall into the hands of Peng Zhou? What does the barbarian have to do with this place? What exactly do they plan to do? Overthrow the Holy Domain?

Su Qi didn't ask, since they chose to bring Su Qi in, one day, Su Qi would know the ins and outs of the matter.

The secret place was named Changxia because it was hot and humid all year round at first, but later under the joint efforts of many monks, the climate of the secret place also changed, becoming more comfortable and pleasant, and there are four seasons.

The secret land is very large, I heard Chang Su say, it is more than three percent bigger than the Jiuzhuo secret land, there are high mountains and valleys in the secret land, plains and forests, and there are more than a dozen lakes, which can be regarded as a small world with all kinds of organs, the entrance and exit of the secret place is the high mountain that Su Qi just walked down, it is also the highest peak in the secret land, there are many monks stationed on the mountain, and what Su Qi saw was just a hazy corner.

The lake at the foot of the mountain is also the largest lake in the secret place, called Xiyu, the bottom of the lake is said to have a huge spirit gathering array, and this palace on the lake is the residence of the monks, the palace is about one-sixth the size of the Xiyu Lake, hanging high above the center of the lake, larger than several cities combined.

There are tens of millions of fish in the lake, Su Qi saw some female cultivators frolicking on the surface of the lake, they held fishing nets and bamboo baskets in their hands, and from time to time leaned over to pick up the lake fish as big as their arms, and threw them into the bamboo lou behind them, the bamboo lou also seemed to be bottomless, after several big fish were thrown in, they quietly disappeared, and the bamboo lou was still so light as if nothing was loaded.

"Some of these fish will be kept for ourselves to eat, and the rest will be transported to the city for the mortals to eat. ”

There is only one city in the secret land of Long Summer.

Standing on the shore of Xiyu Lake, in a fertile plain, the city only lives mortals, but there are often monks coming and going, in Chang Su's words, this is a very peaceful city, no monks are allowed to mess around, no fights are allowed, there is no so-called city lord and nobles, only a few great elders and high priests, who deal with the affairs of the city together.

At this point, it's still the barbarian style.

The city has the same name as the secret land, the outside of the city is full of rice, with the climate of the secret land of long summer, it can be harvested twice a year, mortals can easily achieve self-sufficiency, and in the plains farther away, there are some weak realm beasts living in groups, even mortals, when they have taken a sufficiently effective strategy, they can also hunt them, and the meat of the realm beasts, for mortals, is a delicacy that can both satisfy the stomach and improve the body.

The West Rain Palace and Changxia City maintain a very delicate relationship.

There is no doubt that the Western Rain Palace is the master here, and the monks control the entrance to and from the secret place, but this is mainly for safety, the monks never interfere in the affairs of Changxia City, and they hold a selection meeting in the city every year to select talented young people to worship in the West Rain Palace and become the fresh blood of the monks.

For the mortals of Changxia City, the West Rain Palace is like the abode of the immortals, but it is also a place of longing, and the parents and elders of each family hope that their children can enter the West Rain Palace, which is a kind of glory and a yearning for cultivation.

Relatively speaking, the conditions for selecting monks in the West Rain Palace are very relaxed, sixty percent of the young people of school age are eligible to enter the West Rain Palace to learn the Tao, but the test is very strict, once a year, the first two years are considered small exams, just to let the disciples know their strength, but the third year is the big test that decides to stay, those who pass, can become the official disciples of the West Rain Palace, and those who fail have to leave the palace, or return to Changxia City, or enter the monk army formed by the West Rain Palace, and continue to practice and practice.

For the two paths, the number of people who choose is about half and half, and the number of people who can really pass the big exam and become official disciples is less than one-tenth of the number of people in the primary election.

This kind of rule makes the competition in the West Rain Palace fierce, and it also divides the area of the West Rain Palace.

The North District is where the major repairs and core disciples live, such as Peng Zhou and Chang Su, both of whom have fixed residences in the North District, and this is also the place with the best view of the palace, you can look at the mountains in the west, the human city in the east, and a forest that stretches for hundreds of miles to the north.

The eastern district is facing Changxia City, which is the residence of the primary disciples, and it is also the most crowded and lively place in the West Rain Palace, so the eastern district is larger than the other three districts, and people here come and go, and every year a third of the people leave, and new faces come in.

The southern area is the residence of the official disciples, which is much more deserted than the eastern area, but it is also the foundation of the West Rain Palace, where there are all kinds of things that the monks need.

The West District is not a place where people often live, there are library pavilions, refining workshops, Dan halls, and medicine gardens, which can be regarded as a public area with very miscellaneous uses, and any disciple of the West Rain Palace can come here, making this a place of trading, and things from the outside world, the exercises of formal disciples, and some kind of rare pills are all circulating here.

The ruler of the West Rain Palace also turned a blind eye to this place, and some transactions that were not compliant were gently let go and went with those disciples.

And Su Qi, who was new to the city, stayed in the North District.
