When Ning Ke was fighting against the cultivators at the end of the Yellow Level of the "Pang Yuan Gate", he had been in a state of passive beating. It's just that he saw the opportunity to defeat the opponent by chance with a move of Bajiquan "Tieshan Leaning......

"Sect Master senior, can I cultivate?"

"Can't ......"

Heng Fei thought to himself, this person is a typical miscellaneous spirit root, the resources consumed by cultivation are five times that of others, the speed is only one-fifth of that of others, and there are several suspected dantian acupoints, how can this be cultivated?! Even if he can cultivate, no one can supply the cultivation of a person with this qualification!

Ning Ke listened to the words of the Heng Sect Master, and his face showed a gloomy look, and he could not agree with the words of the Sect Master.

At this time, a middle-aged lady came in, full of a noble temperament, with a standard appearance and charm. At first glance, he is the kind of pampered and upper-class character.

When she saw Ning Ke, she looked at it carefully, and actually showed a look of joy and appreciation, and couldn't stop praising Ning Ke.

Before Ning Ke came to the "Graceful School", he had changed into white Han Dynasty clothes, and he looked really dignified and talented.

This person is Heng Shao's biological mother.

"I can arrange a future for you...... Lord Hengmen and his wife looked at each other for a while, and said: "There is still a fat shortage in the Senate of the Acropolis, are you willing to go?"

When Ning Ke heard this, he shook his head......

"Oh,...... Maybe you can try refining?"

"Refining?"

"Yes. Although refining the body and refining qi take a different path of cultivation, they have the same effect. Refining the body to the extreme, it is no less than refining qi. However, we 'Grace Sect' don't have anyone refining bodies, so I can show you a place to refine your body......

"Oh?"

"I've heard that there is a place for refining the body in the secret realm......"

Ning Ke didn't understand much when he heard this, and shook his head. He just wanted to restore his cultivation......

......

Out of the hall of the "Zuolu" peak, Hengxing asked, "What is your real name as 'Buyi Yiding'?"

"Ning Ke. Isn't it very clear on the gladiator transfer deed signed by Manager Yin of the gladiatorial arena?"

"Where the hell are you from?......"

"The Bright Realm...... Constant Youth. ”

On the mountain road under the "Zuolu" peak, Heng Shao asked Ning Ke a lot of private questions, and Ning Ke answered them one by one. Of course, it was impossible for Ning Ke to explain to him, especially how he started cultivating.

Ning Ke's contact with the cultivators, especially with the cultivators here, he found that Heng Shao and his parents were a little too enthusiastic about him.

He was just a gladiator purchased by the "Gang Wai faction", a status similar to that of a slave or a domestic slave. Their enthusiasm for himself, he felt that it would not be as simple as helping the "Gang Gang Faction" win a gladiatorial match, maybe they had another purpose.

Although Ning Ke had not been in the hidden realm for a long time, he quickly learned about the social form here. He felt that the society here was similar to the Western Han Dynasty in China, and there were still some remnants of slavery in the feudal system.

He had a vague feeling that his parents and his parents should have another purpose for him......

......

The three major sects of the Hidden Realm, the "Kuo Sect", the "Liu Gate", and the "Qingliang Sect", are all located on the three mountain ranges that originate in the same place in the shape of a bull's head, and the people of the Hidden Realm call this place the "Bull Head Mountains".

The "Slender Faction" and the "Qingliang Faction" are on the horns on both sides, and the "Liu Gate" is on the bull's nose.

Ning Ke stood on the "Left Peak" and watched for a while at the junction of the three mountain ranges at the bottom of the mountain, although he couldn't take out the Kanyu Guizhen, compass and other things stored in the Empty Soul Stone, but he still found a problem.

From the perspective of feng shui, the direction of the mountains, or the laws of geological orogeny, the face of the "ox", which should have been full, has sunken into a misty valley, which is contrary to common sense.

Obviously, this valley where the three mountains intersect was carved out by hand.

Such a bold imagination is unrealistic in itself. Judging from the level of scientific and technological development and the form of society in the hidden world, it is impossible to organize people to carry out such a large-scale "valley" digging operation. This adds to the mystery of this deep valley surrounded by mountains on three sides.

"Young Master Heng, what is that valley?" Ning Ke couldn't help but ask.

"Oh, that's the secret realm. The Holy Spring is just below the outer edge of the Secret Realm. As soon as the holy spring opens, the secret realm will soon open......"

"Oh——, what's going on in the secret realm?"

"Secret realms have existed since ancient times, and there are many magical cultivation resources and cultivation opportunities among them......

Ning Ke became energetic when he heard this, and he immediately fantasized about whether there was an opportunity in the secret realm that would allow him to resume his cultivation.

"Usually, the secret realm is covered with a thick poisonous miasma, and animals are not allowed to enter, and it is difficult for birds and birds to fly through. Every 60 years, the miasma of the secret realm will have a weakening period, which lasts for about a month. At this time, the various sects of the Hidden Realm will send disciples into it to experience and find cultivation resources. The cultivation of those who are destined will be greatly improved, and some people will obtain some strange ores, elixirs, spirit beasts, spirit beads, ......"

"Oh, is there a limit to entering the secret realm?"

"Of course! First of all, there is a limit to the number of places. Each of the three major sects has 20 members, and the rest of the sects have 3 or 5 members. In addition, there are some places for casual cultivation, but you have to fight and do tasks to win the places......"

"Second, cultivation must not exceed the Xuan level, and the third is age, which must be under 60 years old......"

Heng Shao sighed when he said this, and continued: "I am 28 years old this year, and the last time the secret realm was opened, I was not yet born, but this time my cultivation has entered the ...... of the prefecture level."

Ning Ke has seen a lot of introductions to similar secret realms from "The Classic of Mountains and Seas", and has also come into contact with virtual secret realms from computer games. So what is this secret realm of the Hidden Realm like, is there a chance that I can resume my cultivation?......

"Young Master Heng, why are you not allowed to enter if you exceed the Xuan level?"

"It's been like this since ancient times. In fact, those who have cultivated beyond the Xuan level will not be able to enter at all. Once you get close, you will be blocked or even hurt by an invisible force......"

"Oh. Young Lord, I ...... I want to go into the secret realm to experience it, I wonder if Master Heng can help me?"

Hengxing listened to Ning Ke's words, pondered for a while, and said, "I brought you to 'Zuo Lufeng' to see your father because of this ......."

"Brother, don't come to see me when you go back to 'Zuo Lufeng'?!......"

Heng Shao's words were interrupted by a voice as delicate as a silver bell. A young girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a pink costume skirt and combing her complicated bun, ran over with a stagger.

Ning Ke saw that this girl was very beautiful...... But from the bones reveal a self-righteous, coquettish, and willful temperament.

He had never liked such an ignorant girl.

"Ah, Sister Hengqian. Oh...... Let me introduce you to you, this is the prince of Ning Ke from the Ming Realm......"

"Hmph, where is the son?!It's just a house slave......"

Her apricot eyes, like looking at an obscure and dirty beggar, glanced at Ning Ke.

"No, I'm going to untie him. He...... He has done a great service to his sect, and I have made it clear that my father is going to sign a certificate of freedom for him......"

"Hmph! I found that you are all talking to him......" Heng Qianxiu frowned, changed her words, and said, "Brother, have you found the Soul Fruit and the Vitality Grass?!"

"There is no news yet from the people who sent out the Bright Realm...... Don't worry, good sister, there will be news soon. ”

Ning Ke hadn't heard of the Soul Fruit, but he was very familiar with the Vitality Grass. This is a perennial herb that blindly invigorates qi and blood. There were really a few strains of this herb in the Void Stone inlaid in his teeth, which were given to him by the old ginseng immortal of Baoyao Mountain in Xiuyan County.

Of course, Ning Ke would not be stupid enough to tell this brother and sister that there were a few plants in his storage ring, and as long as the person who opened his divine sense, he could take them out.

He had entered the Hidden Realm and had come into contact with some cultivators, but he had not found that any of them were using storage rings. Even Hengfei, the head of the "Grace Sect", also uses a storage bag, which shows that the Empty Immortal Stone is also a rare thing in the hidden world.

With the greedy, violent, and savage nature of the people of the hidden realm, I don't know how much trouble the Void Stone will make once it is released.

"Hmph...... Brother, can Duan Lang go to the holy spring to bathe this time?"

"I'm afraid it's hard...... He didn't contribute much to the sect. ”

"I don't care...... I'll give him my spot, right?"

"Father promised you to bathe in the holy spring?"

"Of course, my father can not let you go, but he will definitely let me go......"

Hengqian's mood is very fickle, and the expression of the whole face changes like the face change in Sichuan opera, one will be sunny and the other will be yin. As he spoke, he ran away and walked towards the hall of "Zuo Lu Feng".

Hengxing shook his head, with a look of helplessness and melancholy. He and Heng Qian are half-brothers and sisters, and the lady I saw in the hall just now is Heng Qian's biological mother.

"Young Master Heng, what were you going to tell me just now?" Ning Ke remembered what Hengxing hadn't finished just now.

"Well——, that's a long story. ”

"This younger sister of mine is the pearl of her parents' palms, but she is born without spiritual roots and cannot cultivate. is also quite old, it is said that she should find someone from the Senate or the Acropolis Mansion to marry, but she just refused, her heart was not dead, and she was talking about cultivating all day long.

"No, she fell in love with Elder Duan's son, Duan Min. However, Duan Min didn't have any sincerity towards her, he just wanted to use her to obtain some cultivation resources.

"Speaking of which, I would like to interject a paragraph. The marriage of our Hidden Realm cultivators pays the most attention to the suitability and compatibility of the spiritual roots. Cultivators rarely marry a woman without a spiritual root as their main wife, at most they are concubines or furnaces. The lady I just saw at 'Zuo Lufeng', although I call her 'mother', is actually not my biological mother, she is just my father's concubine, my sister's biological mother.

"When my biological mother was a child, there was a fire fight in the sect and it fell. My father's concubine raised me, so I always called her 'Mother'.

"She didn't have a spiritual root, and the child she gave birth to, even my sister, didn't have a spiritual root. Therefore, the marriage match in the cultivation world is very important to the matching of spiritual roots......

"However, so far, there is no exact pattern of how the spiritual root is inherited. But there are still some rules to follow......"

Ning Ke could see from Hengxing's eyes that he was very fond of his half-sister......
