Chapter 179: Entrance to the Illusion Realm
"Zhaoqing once had a favorite man, Feng Zhi, who advanced the illusion realm for twenty-five years and never came back..."
"The water of the illusion is very deep, the entrance is a mirage, the inner palace buildings, mountains and forests are like a fairyland, and there are countless spiritual materials and elixirs, but it is too dangerous, nearly two hundred years of exploration, the members of the alliance lose three to five people each time, and outsiders fall two to three people." Li Zhaoqing wiped her tears and said.
"Then why does Feng Zhi want to take risks, innate martial artists are already scarce, and they are tossed every thirty years, and Gantai is still doing a good job."
"Feng Zhi is eager to seek spiritual objects, and he feels that his strength is comparable to that of the later period, he was originally a cautious person, and he finally failed to withstand it before the great temptation."
"Why does the guild want to let outsiders enter the illusion realm, it's just its own people," Xue Tong asked.
"There are fewer and fewer people who wish to go, how hard it is to cultivate for one or two hundred years, even if the spiritual things are good, it is not worth taking a big risk; Second, some of the loose martial artists in Gantai have no hope of joining the club, so they have to give a way out; The third can collect millions of spirit stones. ”
"How long does the illusion last, and what is the level of the spiritual objects collected." Xue Tong asked again.
"The best magic weapon refining materials, legend has it that there are magic weapon-level refining materials, six-grade elixirs, and innate demon beasts. As for the duration of the illusion, it is difficult to say, most of them are one month, and occasionally two months. ”
"When did the Mirage begin"
"More than 20,000 years ago"
"Only innately can enter"
"Acquired martial artists and grandmasters are also fine, but nine hundred years ago, the grandmaster fell, and the companions said that the level of demon beasts has become stronger, and there is no such strong person who is willing to take risks."
"How many grandmasters are there in Wanyu," Xue Tongshun asked.
"I don't know, maybe three or four."
"What is the secret of the illusion, is it just a simple repetition?"
"How could Zhaoqing know that it is rumored that every time the illusion appears, once the highest level treasure is taken, the people inside will be thrown to the entrance to end the exploration."
"And the ultimate secret, I don't know when."
Xue Tong remembered the black area on the map that ran north and south.
"What's going on in the black area in the eastern part of the map, what does Gan Tai say" Xue Tong asked too ignorantly.
"There are a lot of dark storms and turbulence in that sea area, the further east it goes, the darker it becomes, no one has been able to see its full picture for tens of thousands of years, Gantai and Zhiyue have listed it as a forbidden area, and only the alliance can organize an expedition, which feels more dangerous than a fantasy." Li Zhaoqing said.
"I think the black zone might be connected to another space," Xue Tong pretended.
"Well, there is such a statement, but it is all intuition and speculation."
Li Zhaoqing became grieved and sad, "Zhaoqing has something to ask for the Taoist. ”
"Just say!"
"If the Taoist sees Feng Zhi's bones or tokens in the illusion, don't forget to bring them back, Feng Zhi's superb sword is engraved with the word Qing, and a jade pendant is engraved with the word Zhao."
"Well, Zhaoqing Sword, Zhaoqing Pei." Xue Tong nodded.
Li Zhaoqing's face full of tears was smeared with a layer of red glow.
……
Xue Tong successively refined three sets of top-grade refining materials into utensils and entrusted Li Zhaoqing to sell them, and his large number of top-grade magic weapons were also sold out.
The black knife of the head of the Changfu was not willing to sell.
Gongsun Kui's complete set of magic weapon refining materials cannot be tested yet, and the weight of the materials for that set of attack weapons is insufficient, and Xue Tong still needs to use the best Qingming Iron Hammer.
"It's a pity that Yu'er isn't here, otherwise my Jiaofu silk shirt would be fine."
Xue Tong did not know nearly twenty kinds of spiritual objects left by the two giants of the Xuangu Divine Sect, and guessed that there should be several unfinished superlatives, and even magic weapon refining materials.
"Three thousand refining instruments are far from enough, thirty thousand is about the same." Xue Tong sighed, retreated, and called Li Zhaoqing.
"Zhaoqing, try to help me get a top-grade armor, whether it is a refining material or a finished product, it will not work for a while, and a top-grade lightweight scale armor will also do." Xue Tong handed Li Zhaoqing a large bag of spirit stones.
"Okay, Zhaoqing does his best, Guanglingzhai is becoming more and more famous, and there are more and more clients, most of which are due to the Taoist chief."
"I have a lot of light, how dare I be greedy."
"I went to the illusion to collect spiritual objects, but my knowledge of things is limited, Guang Lingzhai makes a living as an auction, and I am well-informed, and I can have books such as spiritual objects for Wei's reference."
"I spent money to buy it," Xue Tong said with a smile.
"If others don't sell it, Wei Daochang should be able to."
……
Li Zhaoqing sent the "Treasure of Spiritual Objects", Wei Jinguang and Wei Yue agreed to sell 300,000 spirit stones after discussion, and Xue Tong had to swear never to spread it.
There are as many as 58,000 kinds of spiritual object diagrams on the treasure book, which is twice as much as Xue Tong's current knowledge.
Xue Tong looked at the diagram and identified five kinds of top-grade refining materials, and two magic weapon refining materials, all of which were not complete.
"I'll talk about this later, it's important to practice."
Xue Tong mainly focuses on refining qi and refining techniques.
His demonic fist is complete, and the enhancement of attack power relies on mana improvement, which is too slow, and he urgently needs to practice high-level boxing techniques.
"Heavenly Sorrow Fist"
The fist is divided into thirteen levels, one of the seven skills of the Dark Saint.
The power of the Heavenly Sorrow Fist could not catch up with the Demon Fist for a while, but over time, if it was refined to the fifth level, it would be able to win the Devil's Fist of the Consummation Realm.
Xue Tong spent forty percent of his time refining qi, and the rest mainly practiced Starfall Ring, Zhuomeng Claw, Absolute Shadow Step, Heavenly Compassion Fist, Wind Escape Technique, Divine Soul Dao Technique, and Nightmare Bone True Demon Technique.
His spiritual pet is also unslackening.
The bone puppet soaked in poisonous juice, smeared with poisonous powder, and united with the vulture and the violent ape to fight the white tiger.
Since the tenth layer of Xue Tong's bone formula, the spirit pet has greatly increased his awe of it, as if sensing his brute beast's physique, and the mark of the old master of the white tiger has been wiped out, and it is very obedient.
Xue Tong took the time to make the Moqing Tongyuan Stone Array Plate and draw hundreds of talismans.
……
Time flies, five years.
"Dao Chief, it's almost, next month Wang Cheng has determined the candidate for the illusion realm, it's time to go." Li Zhaoqing said with a smile.
"Oh, congratulations, the day after tomorrow!" Xue Tong congratulated him.
"Thanks to the blessing of the Taoist chief, Zhaoqing made some money and ate a lot of elixirs, and finally got what he wanted."
"It's a pity that the best armor didn't work," Li Zhaoqing said regretfully.
"This snake scale armor is extremely thin, light and unhindered, and it is a high-quality magic weapon, which is very good."
Xue Tong shook his green shirt, and he could barely see that it was lined with a thin scale armor.
……
There was nothing to do all the way to the royal city.
The headquarters of the Gantai League is located in the south of the royal city, and the ten thousand acres of the garden towers five majestic Huangshi palaces, echoing the royal palace in the north of the city.
The number of high-level martial artists in the royal city has doubled compared to normal days, and the ironclad forbidden army patrolling the streets shuttles back and forth, and from time to time there are innate warriors of the alliance.
But most of them are just in time for the event, to join in the fun, to meet old friends.
After all, the quota is twenty, only congenital.
On the sixth day of the sixth month of June, more than 100 carriages were crowded into the side courtyard of the League.
"Dao Chief, the people of the alliance have all hung their emblems today, about sixty of them are present, and there are about 100 other warriors."
"Mo Ke and Cheng Bingcheng are also here." Li Zhaoqing said softly.
"What are they doing, do they want to go?"
"A lot of people decide at the last minute, and they'll change their minds on the spur of the moment depending on whether someone they know knows goes or not."
Determine the candidates of the alliance first, voluntarily register, and by noon, if the number exceeds the limit, it will be arranged according to the registration time.
The exception is that you can use spirit stones to improve your ranking, 200,000 to 2 people, 400,000 to 5 places, and the number of times is not limited.
The rules are fair and simple.
The five of them flicked the registration bamboo card into the crystal bowl very early.
Towards the end, thirteen bamboo tiles entered the bowl one after another.
Xue Tong didn't see the names of Mo and Cheng, but he caught a glimpse of Mo Cao's joy and anger, and glanced at himself and Li Zhaoqing.
"If I sign up for something the old guy does, I'll ask someone to do it for me."
The laggards began to add spirit stones to improve their rankings and compete moderately.
"How is it better than the previous time" Xue Tong couldn't bear to ask, but had to ask.
"Almost," Li Zhaoqing said quietly.
When the dust settled, Xue Tong scanned the list, two people at the peak of the congenital peak, five people in Dacheng, six people in the late stage, and three people in the middle stage.
That's what he's most concerned about.
The competition among the AU warriors was much fiercer, and after several rounds of bidding, seven finalists entered the auction mode.
Xue Tong was determined to win, always maintaining the highest offer, ranking first at the end, spending one hundred and three hundred thousand spirit stones.
The African Union martial artists are born in the middle and late stages.
Xue Tong received a crystal card.
"The background of these people needs to be inquired by Zhaoqing"
"No, the background is hard to find and easy to get into trouble, so there's no need to take risks." Xue Tong waved his hand.
"Okay, you repelled Mo Cauldron with one move that day, and you are not your opponent in the ordinary late stage, so don't be afraid."
"Hehe, you can't talk nonsense, you can't talk full." Xue Tong said with a smile.
……
At the beginning of August, Xue Tong said goodbye to Wei Jinguang and Li Zhaoqing and went to Mian Tu Island alone.
Li Zhaoqing's expression was complicated, and he didn't know if he remembered the moment when Feng Zhi said goodbye thirty years ago.
Xue Tong took a flying boat and drove a silver needle, and the nine-thousand-mile journey was about to arrive in a few days.
He showed the crystal plate and stepped into the heavily guarded eastern part of the island.
On the eastern sea, a thick white fog gathers, and in a few days, it will faintly present the outline of a mirage, and on August 15, the illusion will open.
Twenty tents were set up in the open space, and Xue Tong came the earliest, meditating and practicing the exercises, observing the followers.
He noticed Yuan Changyi and Mu Zheng, who had the highest martial rank; the only woman, Luo Yan, a middle-aged woman with a mediocre appearance; the hateful bald man Qin Gan; The costumes are similar, and Ma Zhen and Zhou Xiurong look like brothers; Yan Peiyao, who was nervous and looked around with small eyes.
"Maybe someone is targeting me, the warriors of the alliance know each other, and they usually don't fight, so it's hard to say to outsiders." Xue Tong said silently at the moment when everyone arrived.
On August 15, a bright moon rises over the sea.
The Qianzhong Palace is bright, and a light ladder hangs down.
In turn, Xue Tong ranked seventeenth.
The ladder of 100 zhang, a light door at the end, changes color every hour, a total of 20 colors, which is why the limit is limited and why it is released once every hour.
Xue Tong stepped on the ladder and immediately sank into it with one foot.
"No, there were so many fame halls at the beginning, no wonder from a distance, those people seem to be walking very slowly."
Xue Tong used Tengyun's technique, wanting to take off and pull his legs, but unexpectedly, the soft light of the ladder spread, and he was firmly sucked in like a magnet for absorbing iron, and he couldn't pull up one foot.
"Either take a big step into the air and make every step so difficult, or..."
Xue Tong stepped forward, and the second foot also sank in.
Then march like a pond of mud, do not lift your legs, do not bend your legs, and squeeze straight forward.
"The faster you go, the more benefits you will have in the secret realm"
Xue Tong activated the True Demon Trick of the Nightmare Bone, wading through the mud pond like a pond, and traveling quickly.
However, he still had some reservations, and only used seventy percent of his strength to wade through the hundred-zhang light ladder above his oblique finger.
