Chapter 303: Camp
Time flies, like a white horse passing through a gap, and in a blink of an eye, a month has passed. At this time, the days are already close to Qingming, and the weather becomes a little cloudy and uncertain, one time it is still sunny, and the other is rainy. However, whether it was the sky of the great sun or the drizzle, it didn't have much impact on a cultivator like Li Jingxuan. They are still firmly committed to their goals.
In the soft rain, Li Jingxuan sat in a carriage with a calm face, letting it take him to the place where the secret realm of Tianli was located.
The time for the opening of the secret realm has been determined, and it will be one day later, which is also the fourth day of the fourth month of April, the day before Qingming. In order not to miss the opportunity to open this secret realm, all those who participate in the secret treasure hunt must arrive at the secret location of the Thunder Plateau before the fourth day of the fourth month of April. After all, the entrance to the secret realm is only opened for a mere hour.
It's not a blink of an eye, but it's not a very long time either. If you don't go early, I'm afraid that you may miss the opening of the secret realm. This is not tolerated. Therefore, a person like Li Jingxuan, who lives in the city, has to set off a few days early in order to reach the location of the secret realm as soon as possible.
The carriage is a special carriage for the Medicine God Valley, although it is not as "high-end" as Yunqing, but it is much better than the ordinary goods rented in the ordinary carriage and horse shops. As far as Li Jingxuan's own feeling is concerned, the speed of this carriage galloping on the avenue has reached a high speed of 200 miles per hour. This was quite an astonishing speed, and at such a speed, Li Jingxuan, who was sitting in the carriage, did not feel the slightest shaking at all.
"It's amazingly smooth. Li Jingxuan whispered, with a look of appreciation on his face. This appreciation is not only for the carriage itself, but also for the disciples of the Medicine God Valley who drove for themselves on the wheel. Not to mention, just looking at the melodious movement of the outer disciple raising the whip and flicking it, he understood that he was already a veteran of driving cars. Only an old man can drive a huge carriage fast and well.
Heaven is six hundred miles away from the place where the secret realm is located, and it is six hundred miles away from the city. Li Jingxuan set off from the city early in the morning, passed through the city directly, and arrived at the place of the secret realm of Tianli in the afternoon. As the roaring carriage gradually slowed down, Li Jingxuan lifted the curtain of the car window and looked out, just in time to see a large camp with large and small tents appearing in front of him. At this time, the camp was already full of people, and it was as lively as a market. Countless figures came and went in these tents, and it was clear that there were already quite a few people in the camp.
"I thought I was the fastest. But I didn't want so many people to come here early. Li Jingxuan sighed, and finally didn't say anything.
He sat in the wagon, which carried him to the camp, where it came to a halt in a clearing at the northwest corner of the camp.
This is the parking lot for the carriage, and it is a parking lot that belongs to the Valley of the God of Medicine.
Although I looked out of the same window in front of me and felt that the camp seemed to be integrated and disorganized, this was only a superficial situation. In fact, behind the patchwork, the camp was actually divided into three areas: the Medicine God Valley's own disciples were located in an area, the sect disciples who were friends with the Medicine God Valley were in a single area, and those who were really helpless and just wanted to try their luck in the scattered cultivation and sect disciples were another area.
Because tomorrow is the time when the secret realm really opens, there are not many people in the camp. Li Jingxuan walked all the way through the camp, secretly counting in his heart, and found that the people who arrived in this camp right now were mainly the sect disciples who were good friends with the Medicine God Valley and those who just wanted to try their luck, but the disciples of the Medicine God Valley itself were the least. Li Jingxuan looked at it and counted it carefully, but he only saw dozens of disciples dressed in Medicine God Valley costumes.
"It seems that the own people of the Medicine God Valley are going to be brought by the sect tomorrow. Li Jingxuan muttered to herself. He naturally wouldn't think that this time the Secret Realm Treasure Hunting Medicine God Valley only came to such a few dozen people. After all, such a small number of people is not in line with the style of the Great Sect of the Medicine God Valley.
With this judgment, Li Jingxuan walked in the camp. At this time, he had already asked about the situation in the camp, and knew that people like himself who were not disciples of the Medicine God Valley but wanted to participate in this secret treasure hunt had to go to the big tent set up by the Medicine God Valley in the camp array to register and report.
Why......
The Medicine God Valley's statement is that it can better serve the monks who come to participate in the treasure hunt in the secret realm, and in Li Jingxuan's opinion, the Medicine God Valley actually wants to make some statistics. After all, no matter how big the secret realm is, the number of people it can accommodate is limited, and the Medicine God Valley will never allow too many people to enter it, resulting in excessive mining.
...... Of course, this is just Li Jingxuan's own speculation. As for whether this is the real situation, Li Jingxuan is not sure. You know, it's the first time he's participated in such a treasure hunt in a secret realm. Li Jingxuan doesn't know much about this kind of "activity".
At the moment, according to the original introduction, Li Jingxuan completed the registration in the Zhongying tent. The outer disciple in charge of registration looked at the token in Li Jingxuan's hand, and there was a slight look of surprise in his eyes. He seemed to have seen something from this token, and his attitude towards Li Jingxuan was also much more respectful. He handed another number plate to Li Jingxuan's hand, and sent a junior disciple to guide Li Jingxuan into the tent prepared for him. This tent is located in the Zongmen District, and the people in this area are all closely related to the Medicine God Valley. Many of them were disciples of the affiliated sects under the command of the Medicine God Valley.
When Li Jingxuan came here, many of them were eagerly discussing something and exchanging some kind of experience with each other. One or two of them were somewhat surprised when they saw such an absolutely unfamiliar face as Li Jingxuan appear, and it was led by the outer disciples of the Medicine God Valley. They froze and infect others with their sluggishness. Soon their searching eyes converged on Li Jingxuan's body, until Li Jingxuan stepped into the tent and lowered the curtain of the tent.
After a while, the outer disciples of the Medicine God Valley who led the way for Li Jingxuan retreated. As soon as he withdrew, several disciples belonging to the affiliated sects of the Medicine God Valley greeted him, and they quietly handed him a piece of Yuan Stone, and then asked him in a low voice with a smiling face: "What is the identity of this person who is so young, why does it have to be received by you?"
"Alas...... Don't ask me about that. The outer disciple of the Medicine God Valley sighed and shook his head gently: "He, it's the first time I've seen him. I don't know who he is. Maybe he's a disciple of the sect, maybe he's a casual cultivator—his status registered with my senior brother is a casual cultivator. This was originally a very ordinary identity, but the invitation token he submitted to us was a token that could only be given by our Medicine God Gu Yunzi Senior Uncle. Under such a token, how can we, the minions of the outer door, not deal with it carelessly. People are good friends with people of our master's generation. ”
"Ah...... I see. Hearing this Medicine God Valley disciple say this, everyone around him suddenly realized, and their hearts lit up. They glanced at the tent where Li Jingxuan was, and their eyes flashed with envy: "This is a person with a deep background." If we can, we'd better get along with him. They thought so, even though they all knew that there would definitely be a fierce and unusual battle after entering the secret realm, but it would only happen later. No one can calculate what will happen in the future, so they will not treat others badly until they are sure that the person who appears in front of them is their life and death enemy.
They dispersed for a moment, and each talked about what had happened. It wasn't until a long time later that Li Jingxuan came out again, and their eyes once again converged on Li Jingxuan's body. Although they looked away after gathering fire for a while, they moved their eyes away, but this was only on the surface, and in secret, their eyes and their perceptions followed Li Jingxuan's footsteps closely.
For such perception and peeping, Li Jingxuan can't find out, but he can't tell the difference. After all, he didn't feel much malice in the eyes of these people.
With such a vision, people's hearts will naturally not be bad. Although he was somewhat uncomfortable with such a peep, among everyone, he could only endure it like this.
Under the misty drizzle, he walked with his long sleeves fluttering and his hair fluttering. The smoky rain shrouded his figure like a water-colored light veil, silently adding a layer of hazy elegance.
At this time, there are more and more people in the camp, and everyone is talking about tomorrow's treasure hunt in the secret realm. Although most of the people here are participating in this kind of secret treasure hunt for the first time, there are still a few people who have experienced it, and there are even some people who have already known the situation in the secret realm with the power of the sect. They talked eagerly about what they knew, and did not hide much of it, but spread the word out so that those who came after them could understand the secret realm, and receive envious glances from where they were. At first glance, these people who preach experience seem to be completely selfless people who sacrifice themselves for others, but Li Jingxuan clearly feels that under their selflessness, what they have gained is fame and more long-term benefits.
"It seems that these people here are all the best in their respective sects. Not to mention their strength. Just talking about their performance in front of them, it is quite atmospheric. None of them are just looking out for the small profits in front of them, they think more about the future. Li Jingxuan calmly watched their performance, and secretly sighed in his heart. At this moment, he felt more and more that the heritage and strength of the so-called top sects in the mainland were not something that ordinary "casual cultivators" like himself could imagine.
"It's really excellent!" Li Jingxuan sighed, and his footsteps did not walk away. He knew almost the least amount of news about the secret realm, and he didn't care about it at first, but now that he thought about it, he was too underestimated.
"You can't underestimate any place, and you can't underestimate any opponent. Li Jingxuan was secretly vigilant in his heart. He suppressed all kinds of surprises, but he smiled more and more and talked to everyone he met. He tried to get more information from these people through this conversation, so that he could tell himself to have a reserve of knowledge about the Tianli environment.
Walking around like this, listening and talking, it soon got dark, and the campfires in the camp rose one after another. Under the faint and unpredictable bonfire, Li Jingxuan obviously felt that there were more and more people in the camp. It seems that as time goes by, more and more people are coming here.
After that, the jade rabbit fell in the west, the golden crow rose in the east, and the sun of a new day descended on this world again.
The sun came out, and almost at the same time as the sun arrived a magnificent flying ship. This is a behemoth that is 100 zhang long, dozens of zhang wide, and about 10 zhang high. They came with the sun on their backs and descended on this camp. The huge and majestic body of the flying boat obscured the sun on the horizon, leaving a shadow over the camp.
The flying boat is coming. This is the flying boat of the Valley of the God of Medicine. As the flying boat stopped, several God Refining Cultivators of the Medicine God Valley suddenly sacrificed their magic weapons, floating clouds, and put down the low-level disciples who participated in this secret realm exploration on the flying boat.
Li Jingxuan watched coldly at this, and did not make any moves, but after carefully counting the number of people who came to participate in the secret realm treasure exploration in the Medicine God Valley today, he couldn't help but gasp. There were too many people coming to participate in the Medicine God Valley this time, and Li Jingxuan looked carefully, but found that the number was already above three hundred.
"There are more than three hundred people from the Medicine God Valley, and there are three or four hundred people in the camp right now. Doesn't this mean that there are more than seven hundred people participating in the exploration of the Tianli Secret Realm this time?" Li Jingxuan muttered in a low voice, but the vigilance in his eyes became a little thicker: "More than seven hundred people are exploring a secret realm. There are more people, but the size of the secret realm is still the same, which shows that the cultivators exploring the secret realm are more likely to come into contact with each other this time. As a result, there will be more conflicts between them. With more than 700 people entering in this way, how many will come out in the end, I am afraid it will be a frightening result. ”
Li Jingxuan thought about it, and sighed in his heart, but he didn't have any thoughts of wanting to stop it. Everyone is a monk, everyone is an adult, and everyone must be responsible for their own actions.
This matter passed, and Li Jingxuan followed behind his team, but with the idea of being at ease with what happened. After all, unlike other sect disciples who were already organized and had senior brothers, Li Jingxuan could be regarded as a lonely family here. Although many sect organizations had the idea of pulling him into their own teams, out of the intention of quietly picking Manindala flowers for Yunqing, Li Jingxuan still refused everyone's invitations one by one. This time he was exploring the secret realm, but he was planning to be a lone traveler.
