"Regarding the matter of Yantiandu, I will deal with it when I go back, and I will definitely give you a satisfactory answer when the time comes."

"It's okay," Jiang Cheng waved his hand, "It's all over, I want to know what the cave is more than this." ”

"Originally, the information related to the cave could not be known until after the eighth order, because those with abilities above the eighth order would condense qi and blood, and their combat effectiveness would be greatly improved."

"Able to fight and retreat, the ability to save life is very strong, and there is a qualitative change with those with abilities below the eighth order."

Zhang Wanqing saw Jiang Cheng's brows furrowed slightly, and she understood what was going on.

Looking at the environment of this house, Jiang Cheng's family background should be very poor, and he can't get in touch with these things before entering the school.

A poor teenager awakens from a difficult environment, like an uncarved jade.

Zhang Wanqing's gaze at Jiang Cheng couldn't help but soften a little, and slowly explained: "Martial artists below the eighth order are simply absorbing the spiritual power in the spar to enrich themselves. ”

"But after breaking through to the eighth order, it is difficult to go further just by absorbing spiritual power, so another advanced method was born."

"Quenching qi and blood, with strong qi and blood as the cornerstone, only when the qi and blood meet the standard, can we have the conditions to break through the grade."

"Break through the ranks?" Jiang Cheng asked suspiciously, "Is it the realm after the tenth order?" ”

"Yes," Zhang Wanqing nodded, "After the eighth order, it is the Qi and Blood Realm, and after the tenth order, it is the Peerless Peak Realm, and the Peerless Peak Realm is divided into upper, middle and lower nine grades. ”

"The powerhouse of the Nine Rank Peerless Realm can be transferred, and after the transfer is successful, he will be in the Emperor Realm!"

"I'm at the top of my game now, and I'm going to change jobs soon."

"Changing jobs?" Jiang Cheng's expression moved, and he remembered the "Shadow of Annihilation Career Fragment" in the system's backpack.

"The matter of changing jobs is still too far away from you, don't worry about it for now, what you have to pay attention to now is the Qi and Blood Realm behind."

"This realm is very resource-intensive, not only relying on medicine, but also requiring the cultivation of professional exercises, which are unique to schools and the army, and are not allowed to be passed on."

"The reason why it is not allowed to be spread is that this is more for protection, refining qi and blood is very dangerous, and if you are not careful, it is possible that qi and blood will impact the internal organs and explode to death."

Zhang Wanqing sighed, "Some of the supernatural beings in society, without teachers and high-level supernatural protectors, the probability of an accident is too great. ”

Hearing that the exercises for refining qi and blood are only available in schools and the army, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but smile, he didn't believe in anything for protection, this was definitely a monopoly.

This also means that if you don't join an academy or the army, if you want to break through the top of the realm, you can only buy it on the black market or join a cult.

Zhang Wanqing noticed Jiang Cheng's smile and thought that the other party didn't take it seriously.

Immediately said: "Even under the care of the teacher, there are not a few students who break through the peak realm every year and have accidents, so you must not take it lightly." ”

"The other is resources, the school has the state-only Qi and Blood Pill, Qi Nourishing Pill, and Pulse Protection Pill, which are indispensable in the Qi and Blood Realm."

"As long as you complete the task in the academy, you will get a certain amount of credits to exchange for pills, compared to the four universities, the resources of Tianlan Academy are much more abundant."

"I see......"

Jiang Cheng suddenly realized, and took this opportunity to ask all the questions he encountered while cultivating.

"Below the eighth order, as long as you absorb the spar to a critical value, and then take the breakthrough potion, can you break through directly?"

"Yes," Zhang Wanqing nodded, "but every breakthrough needs to be set aside for a period of time to consolidate, and continuous breakthroughs in a short period of time will lead to failure, and as for the length of consolidation, everyone is different." ”

"Research shows that the higher the level of talent, the shorter the time it takes to consolidate."

Unexpectedly, there would be a cooldown time after the grade breakthrough, and Zhang Wanqing's words dispelled Jiang Cheng's idea of breaking through to the eighth order in one go.

"Let's talk about the cave again," Zhang Wanqing continued without pausing: "The cave can actually be understood as another world, the surface is under our feet, but in fact it is not. ”

"Another world? I don't know, but I jumped from the cave yesterday. ”

Jiang Cheng scratched his head, a little incomprehensible.

"I can't explain this for the time being, no one knows how the cave appeared, only that its entrance is on the ground, but after going down, it may not be in the original world."

Although Zhang Wanqing said something complicated, Jiang Cheng still understood what she meant.

He liked to read science fiction novels before he crossed over, and the caverns of this world were probably in another dimension, and the entrance to the cave was nothing more than a passage from another dimension.

As for where it leads?

It is possible to travel to another dimension, or it is possible to travel through time and the universe.

"What's in the cave? What is the origin of the minotaur who chased you in the cave yesterday, and what does it have to do with the revival of the aura? ”

Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

"...... in the cave," Zhang Wanqing's expression was a little complicated, "It's more like a complete world, just like our world, there are sun, moon, mountains, rivers and lakes, as well as birds, animals, and human beings. ”

"Anyone else in there?"

"Yes, except for the lack of technology, there is almost everything in it, and the people and beasts in the cave are all different from the outside world, they are extremely hostile to us, and they are completely unable to communicate."

"In short, the cave is like a blue star in the barbarian era, full of barbarism and bloodthirsty, and the demon beasts and humans inside don't want to rush out and invade our world all the time."

"In the early days of the revival of the aura, there was once a cave that was lost, and a large number of demon beasts and underground people rushed out, causing great casualties, and this matter was suppressed by the high-level, and ordinary people didn't know about it at all."

"Why did they rush out? Is it because our world environment is better than theirs? ”

"It's not!"

Zhang Wanqing shook her head, "You also went in yesterday, how do you feel about the cave?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and replied, "Except that the passage is a little dark, the environment inside is not bad, and it feels no different from our world." ”

"Well, it's even better than our environment, the cave is like spring all year round, if there are no monsters and humans, it's comparable to a paradise."

"And what are they trying so hard to get out?"

"The exact reason is still uncertain, we have also captured some intelligent creatures in the caves, but they can't communicate at all, and the country has also sent psychic powers for this purpose."

"But in the process of control, it was interfered with by some inexplicable force, resulting in the brain death of both the cave creatures and the psychic powers."

"After the failure of mind control, some people began to learn the language of the underworld, but their language was jerky and difficult to understand, and they couldn't understand it for a while."

Jiang Cheng nodded and continued to ask, "Since the cave is so dangerous, why don't you stop the entrance to the cave, what if an ordinary person enters it?" ”

"Ordinary people can't see the entrance to the cave," Zhang Wanqing explained: "The reason why the cave you saw yesterday is not guarded is because the cave is new, and the state has not had time to deal with it, so there should be someone in charge of guarding it now." ”

"Of course, although ordinary people can't see the entrance of the cave, they can still enter it, as long as there are people with abilities around to lead the way, they can see the cave."

"So there are a lot of ordinary people stationed near the caves, some of them are doctors, some of them are soldiers."

"Although the combat effectiveness is not comparable to that of the supernatural, but when combined into an army, it also has a lot of lethality, and there are so many caves in the country, all of which cannot be defended by the supernatural."

"Generally, only a small number of people will be sent to guard, and only when the local cave creatures try to rush out, will a large number of supernatural people be mobilized to support, we went to support this time, but we accidentally fell into a crimson ambush."

Jiang Cheng thought of an important question again, and hurriedly asked, "What is the strength of the cave creatures?" Is each as strong as that minotaur? ”

"Not really."

Zhang Wanqing's brows furrowed, "The Emperor Realm can be regarded as a general-like existence in the cave, and their ordinary warriors are generally around the sixth order, which is as many as a cow's hair. ”

"Generals? Warrior? They also have an army? ”

"Yes, don't forget what I said before, the world inside the cave is no different from ours, they can not only communicate with each other, but also establish a civilized country."

"But thankfully, they have a lot of kingdoms, and they don't have the same from one country to another, and they have a strong sense of territory. This means that they will not all unite and attack as one. ”

"If they knew how to work together, they would have rushed out a long time ago."

With Zhang Wanqing's continuous introduction, Jiang Cheng gradually had a general understanding of the world.

Jiang Cheng fell silent, bowing his head to digest the information in his head.

The world is not as beautiful as he imagined, and even underground is lurking in danger.

Caves are added all the time, and they appear in random locations, which means it's getting harder to defend.

No wonder the state attaches so much importance to the supernatural, once awakened, the chicken dog ascends to heaven.

The reason why ordinary people are living so comfortably now is that they don't know about the caves, and once this matter is leaked, it will cause widespread panic and migration.

If one day you knew that a monster's lair had appeared near your house, would you continue to live here?

I'm afraid that more than eighty percent of the people will flee to safe cities where there are no caves nearby.

This can lead to economic regression or even ruin in individual cities.

The economy is equally important in this society of the supernatural, and no money is equal to no productivity.

No productivity means no resources for the supernatural to cultivate.

But this matter cannot be concealed after all, and it will not be long before it will develop into a situation where the whole people resist the crisis, and the days of ordinary people living and working in peace and contentment will come to an end.

After a while, Jiang Cheng's heart gradually calmed down.

He asked again, "Is there a pattern to the appearance of the caves?" How often will a new one be added? ”

Before he knew it, a cave appeared near Donglin City, and he had lived in this city for more than ten years, and he had some feelings.

I'm afraid that one day a big hole will pop up in the center of the city in the east.
