It had been half an hour since Xiang Yun entered the cave mansion, and Qing Yue and the other two female disciples outside the cave mansion were a little surprised in their hearts.

This Elder Su's name is 'Su Jin', and he is the third elder of Chanfeng, although on weekdays, he has always shown a gentle and kind appearance.

In fact, the disciples who are familiar with her know that this Elder Su is often hot on the outside and cold on the inside, refuses to be thousands of miles away, and rarely meets outsiders.

Even with many elders of Fengyun Academy, if they meet with a few words, they will walk away.

But today, Xiang Yun entered his cave mansion, and such a long time has passed, and he hasn't come out yet, which is a little strange.

Qing Yue couldn't help but show a look of worry, could it be that Xiang Yun said something wrong in the cave mansion and annoyed Elder Su, and Elder Su made a move on him?

The other two daughters also looked at each other secretly, with puzzled expressions in their eyes.

But just a moment later, the door of the cave was suddenly opened, and Xiang Yun walked out of it, looking at everyone as usual.

As soon as Qingyue saw Xiang Yun walking out of the cave mansion, she hurriedly stepped forward to ask, however, in the next moment, there was a somewhat ethereal voice from Elder Su in the cave mansion.

"Qingyue, you come in, I have something to say to you. ”

Qing Yue was stunned when she heard this, but Xiang Yun secretly smiled bitterly, this Elder Su was still guarding himself, for fear of abducting her proud protégé.

Smiling at Qingyue, Xiang Yun whispered.

"Miss Qingyue, thank you this time, the matter has already been resolved, you don't have to worry about me. ”

When Qingyue heard this, her heart was immediately relieved, she originally planned to send Xiang Yun down the mountain, but now that Elder Su has an order, she can only say goodbye to Xiang Yun and enter the cave.

Not long after, Xiang Yun had already walked on the road down the mountain from Chanfeng, and his heart was still a little heavy when he recalled Su Jin's words in the cave before.

According to Su Jin, this spiritual hidden trial is not an ordinary trial.

The first to discover this 'Spirit Hidden Realm' was the 'Holy Elephant Sect' located in Great Xia, and they found that there were many rare beasts hidden in the secret realm, and the number of spirit flowers and spiritual grasses far exceeded that of the outside world.

Because of the discovery of this secret realm, the Holy Elephant Sect gained great benefits from it, and it actually rose within a hundred years, from a third-rate sect in the northwest to a veritable number one sect in the entire northwest.

And the rise of the Holy Elephant Sect has caused the fear and suspicion of several major forces in the northwest, and there is no impermeable wall in the world.

So the Daoist Academy, the Hongman Sect, and the Fengyun Academy, these three major forces jointly sent high-level officials to the Holy Elephant Sect to negotiate.

And this Holy Elephant Sect is also extremely smart, knowing that with the power of one sect, it is not possible to resist the three major forces joining forces, and the sect master of the Holy Elephant Sect actually took the initiative to put the four major forces in charge of the Spirit Hidden Realm.

Although they knew that the Holy Elephant Sect had already received the greatest benefits, it was impossible for the three major sects to let the family spit out, after all, they could also get the actual benefits, so this agreement was naturally decided.

As a result, the four major sects established the Northwest Alliance, which was in charge of the Spirit Hidden Realm, which was opened every five years.

At first, it was an easy errand to enter this spiritual secret realm to collect medicinal herbs, and the four major sects sent an equal number of disciples to go into the mountains to collect medicines, and stipulated that the disciples of each sect should do their own thing and not hurt anyone.

These medicinal disciples not only had an easy task, but they were also able to obtain a lot of rewards from spirit grass and cloud crystals, which was naturally something that everyone was willing to go to.

The elixir in the secret realm of the spirit is not inexhaustible, and with the passage of a hundred years, even in the secret realm of the spirit, the elixir has begun to decrease year by year, and many disputes have occurred.

The so-called "not suffering from widowhood but suffering from unevenness", many sect disciples because of the disparity in the amount of elixir they take, some resort to robbery, which also began to cause a lot of casualties, but the four major sect leaders agreed to maintain a silent attitude towards this.

After all, everyone is not a three-year-old child, so they naturally know what the rule of respect for the strong is, and when the resources are insufficient, it is naturally ridiculous to emphasize the fairness of the ignorance.

In the end, the four major sects simply held a meeting and declared together that in the future, the disciples of each sect would live and die regardless of whether they were alive or dead.

However, the Cloud Warriors who entered it were all confined below the Heavenly Cloud Realm, so as not to undermine the stability of the secret realm.

In this way, the Lingyin Trial, which had torn off the last fig leaf, completely turned into a non-compromising gladiatorial arena, and the mortality rate of those who participated in the trial soared rapidly, and many people began to be reluctant to participate in this trial.

In the end, the disciples of the various sects, unless they had to go, or if they were extremely confident in their own methods, ordinary disciples would not be willing to go to the Spirit Hidden Realm for anything.

Of course, in order to encourage these disciples to go to the secret realm and collect elixirs for the sect, the sect also spent a lot of rewards.

Despite this, it is still not easy to gather the number of people to go to the annual Spirit Hidden Trial!

Of course, Su Jin promised to give Xiang Yun alchemy, so naturally it would not be completely unconditional.

It turned out that she was now refining a furnace of high-grade elixir, and she happened to need a 'companion grass', because the outside world couldn't find it, she hoped that Xiang Yun would find this medicine for her in the Spirit Hidden Realm, which could be regarded as a condition of exchange.

And Xiang Yun is completely fearless about this Spirit Hidden Realm, it is naturally impossible, according to Su Jin, the disciples who go to the Spirit Secret Realm every year are almost all Cloud Martial Artists of the Earth Cloud Realm, and there are even half-step Tianyun level masters.

With Xiang Yun's current strength, he is confident that he will not be afraid of the masters at the peak of the Earth Cloud Realm, even if they are young masters of the four major sects, as long as they are not too rebellious in their means, they don't want to be curry favor in his hands.

However, for the powerhouse of the half-step Tianyun Realm, Xiang Yun didn't dare to say anything.

Although the half-step Tianyun is not yet a powerhouse in the Tianyun Realm, he can already initially possess a powerhouse in the Tianyun Realm, with the help of the supernatural power of the power of heaven and earth, the strength is far from being comparable to the martial artists of the Earthly Cloud Realm, Xiang Yun is naturally a little worried.

Hesitating, Xiang Yun didn't make a decision immediately, so he promised Su Jin to reply to her in three days.

For this spiritual secret realm, his understanding was only known from Su Jin's mouth, and it may not be all true and reliable, so he still needs to inquire in many ways before he can make a decision.

After returning to Qiyun Palace's Aolai Peak, Xiang Yun thought for a moment, and organized Hong to find Ye Xiaowei first, she started early and had a good relationship with herself, so she must be able to get more information about the Spirit Hidden Realm from her.

As soon as Xiang Yun made up his mind, he showed his body, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he came to the west of the mountainside of Aolai Peak, in front of Ye Xiaowei's cave.

Ye Xiaowei's cave is hidden in a forest, surrounded by flowers and plants, which looks a little quiet and elegant, but it is not conspicuous, but it is quite similar to her personality.

Xiang Yun stood in front of the door of the cave mansion, feeling the faint formation fluctuations around the cave mansion, and he was about to transmit the sound inside, but the door of the cave suddenly opened.

The fog floating around the cave suddenly collapsed, and several ancient trees that looked lush disappeared, as if they were the images of some kind of phantom array.

When the power of the formation receded, a beautiful figure walked out of the cave door.

"Senior Brother Xiang, it turns out that you are here?"

As soon as she saw Xiang Yun outside the cave door, Ye Xiaowei couldn't help but be a little surprised, and immediately greeted Xiang Yun with a smile on her face.

When Xiang Yun saw Ye Xiaowei, he was also smiling, and just wanted to speak, but suddenly his eyes froze, staring at Ye Xiaowei and saying.

"Senior Sister Xiaowei, are you ...... You've advanced to the Earth-Cloud Realm?"

Although the momentum around Ye Xiaowei's body in front of her was restrained in her body, with Xiang Yun's keen perception, she could naturally find that there was a condensed and powerful fluctuation in her body, which was far superior to that of ordinary Xuanyun Realm martial artists.

Seeing Xiang Yun seeing through his hidden aura at a glance, Ye Xiaowei couldn't help but show a hint of surprise on her face.

But when he thought of Xiang Yun's amazing methods in the ring last time, he was not too surprised, but smiled a little embarrassedly.

"I also took the Breaking Pill a few days ago, and opened up the dantian, I thought it would be a few days before there would be a breakthrough opportunity, but I didn't expect that last night, it suddenly triggered a thunderstorm, and I got lucky. ”

Although Ye Xiaowei's tone was gentle, the excitement and joy between the corners of her eyes and eyebrows were still difficult to hide.

"Huh...... By the way, junior brother, are you planning to attack the Earth Cloud Realm again after a while?"

Ye Xiaowei noticed that Xiang Yun's cultivation was still a half-step cloud realm, and couldn't help but ask with some doubts.

She knew that Xiang Yun not only had a Breaking Pill on his body, but also an incomparably precious Crossing Spirit Pill, coupled with Xiang Yun's strong strength, if she wanted to break through the Earth Cloud Realm, in her opinion, it was almost a sure thing.

And Xiang Yun's face was already a little embarrassed when he knew that Ye Xiaowei had broken through the realm of earth clouds with a Shattering Pill, and when he suddenly heard Ye Xiaowei ask such a question, his expression suddenly became even more exciting.

"Ahem...... Senior Sister Xiaowei, I came to you for this matter this time. ”

"Huh......?"

Ye Xiaowei was a little unsure, but she still warmly invited Xiang Yun into the cave mansion and asked Xiang Yun about the purpose of his trip.

Entering Ye Xiaowei's cave mansion, Xiang Yun did not hide his failure to break through the Earth Cloud Realm, after all, if he participated in the Spirit Yin Trial in the future, most of the people would probably guess about it.

And hearing that Xiang Yun took a Crossing Spirit Pill, plus a Breaking Pill, and still couldn't meet the conditions for breaking through the Earth Cloud Realm, Ye Xiaowei's expression suddenly became more wonderful than Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun was stared at by the other party's strange gaze, and he really wanted to get into it.

Then Xiang Yun hurriedly bypassed the topic, and asked Ye Xiaowei about the Lingyin Trial, and said that he wanted to enter the secret realm to collect the elixir and refine the Spirit Crossing Pill.

When Ye Xiaowei heard that Xiang Yun actually wanted to participate in the Lingyin Trial, her face suddenly changed drastically.

"Senior brother, you have to think twice about this matter!"

Xiang Yun looked at Ye Xiaowei with some consternation, it was rare to see it on weekdays, and Ye Xiaowei reacted violently.

Ye Xiaowei saw Xiang Yun looking at her with a shocked face, knowing that she was a little out of shape, her face was slightly red, but she still said to Xiang Yun with a serious face.

"Senior brother, the Spirit Secret Realm is not as simple as you imagined, do you know how many people enter the Spirit Secret Realm every year, and how many people come out?"

Ye Xiaowei didn't care what Xiang Yun's reaction was, so she told Xiang Yun everything she knew about the Spirit Hidden Realm.

It turned out that every five years, Fengyun Academy would select fifty disciples to participate in the Lingyin Trial.

And these disciples, except for a few who are outer disciples of the academy, most of the others are inner disciples, and they will venture into the secret realm for the sake of the sect's rewards or need pill materials.

Because in the Spiritual Secret Realm, not only their opponents are powerful and dangerous, but in the Secret Realm, there are also all kinds of powerful cloud beasts, scattered among them, and if they are not careful, they will end up with no bones left.

If you don't have cultivation above the Earth Cloud Realm, as soon as you enter the trial, you will be dead and lifeless.

And even if most of them were inner disciples who were not weak in cultivation to participate in the trial, among the fifty disciples who entered the Spirit Secret Realm in previous years, there were only a dozen of them who could really come out.

There was a year when only three disciples of Fengyun Academy walked out of the secret realm, and the mortality rate was as high as eighty or ninety, and the Qiyun Hall basically had no disciples who participated in the Lingyin Trial over the years.

"Senior brother, as the saying goes, stay in the green mountains, don't worry about running out of firewood, you might as well think of other ways to participate in the Lingyin Trial, it's really too risky!"

Ye Xiaowei looked at Xiang Yun with a solemn face, and she had a lot of words and deep feelings.
