Chapter 242: The Inner Domain
"The two virtuous brothers laughed, for the brother is so old, where is there a deep opportunity to go further, such an opportunity, it is only left to the younger generations to do, let's take out the spiritual spring quickly, let these little guys take it, this time the spring water in the pool seems to be more than in previous years, this is a good thing. After the old man in white surnamed Liu smiled, he immediately said politely and humbly.
The three entries are the only few Grandmaster-level masters of the Bao Dan realm among the four major forces, and the three entries are all close friends for many years, so they don't care about what they just said at all. The other two old men also smiled slightly, stopped mentioning the matter, and began to turn their heads and instruct their respective disciples to come forward and prepare to collect the spring water.
Two disciples from each of the four forces stepped forward and went straight to the pool, but they never thought that at this time, there was a sudden surprise at the scene.
I saw that in the middle of the air about three or four feet above the pool, suddenly, a low thunderclap sounded, and then, after a surge of air currents in the sky, a ball of light with a whole body of silver appeared out of thin air in an instant. Immediately, I saw this silver ball of light hanging in the air, turning out a strange sound of "Zizi", which began to distort and deform, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a spatial crack of sufficient length.
Then, in the stunned eyes of those present, a slightly embarrassed figure was thrown out of the crack in the space, and it happened to "poof" and fell into the spiritual spring pool below. Then, after a faint flicker in mid-air, the spatial rift disappeared without a trace.
After falling into the spiritual spring pool, there was a light sigh from his mouth, and then he stood up in a shaky manner, shook the splash on his body, and glanced at the monks in front of the spiritual spring pool, and his face couldn't help but show a strange look.
And the monks of the four major sects and families, led by the grandmaster-level masters of the three major Baodan realms, were already shocked and couldn't say a word.
"Damn, what kind of teleportation circle is this, it's a shame to say that it was set up by the ancient Gaidai master himself, it's just shaking the point in, not to mention the disrepair, Jingran also caused me to stay in the space passage for nearly a month" There was an inexplicable muttering in his mouth, and the one who fell in the pool immediately raised his head, and asked the monks around him: "This seat Lingxiao, do you know what kind of place this is?"
"Ling Xiao, do you know what kind of place this is?" Although it was an inquiring word, but there was no tone of inquiry, as if it was dominated by instinct, as if it was dominated by instinct, as he spoke, a red streamer flashed on Ling Xiao's body, and his clothes soaked in the spring water were completely steamed dry, and he flew up in the mountain wind, wrapped in Ling Xiao's gaze, and looked at the white-clothed old man surnamed Liu, who had cultivated the highest among the people present, and indifferently, there seemed to be an inexplicable momentum that spread out in an instant, enveloping the audience.
"This is the Cangzhou Hidden Dragon Ridge of the Lingyuan Empire, I don't know what happened to the seniors on this trip?" The white-clothed old man surnamed Liu had already used his divine soul power to sweep over the body of the young man in front of him, intending to detect the other party's cultivation, but his heart couldn't help but be shocked, because he couldn't see the slightest depth of the other party, which showed that the other party's cultivation was very high, at least he was also a great grandmaster-level master of the Manifest Saint Realm. Moreover, the situation of the other party is really weird, that arc of light, it is like a legendary space crack, he is just a monk in the realm of Baodan, naturally he does not dare to have the slightest neglect, after giving a deep salute, he hurriedly replied with caution.
The other two old men also sensed that Ling Xiao's cultivation was unfathomable, and they couldn't help but swallow several mouthfuls of saliva in their mouths, and under the horror in their hearts, they also didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly bowed down, with a smile on their faces. Here, after all, it is a world where the strong are respected, and the weak are in front of the strong, and they can't raise a little bit of integrity anyway, although they are very helpless, but this is the reality.
"Cangzhou, Hidden Dragon Ridge" Ling Xiao frowned slightly, blinked, his face remained unchanged, but he couldn't help muttering a sentence in his mouth, and then said with great annoyance in his heart: "Damn, this bird's feather teleportation array." This error is inevitably a bit too big, and it sent me out of the Northern Wasteland directly, but I still want to make a deal with the Ghost King Sect, yes, I have to go back now. "This person is naturally Ling Xiao who came out of the Burial Sacred Valley, at this time. From the battle of the demons in the burial place. It's been almost three months.
At this moment, the white-clothed old man surnamed Liu and the others, while facing Ling Xiao, did not forget to turn their eyes, and couldn't help but secretly glance at the direction of the pool.
This spiritual spring pool water is for the four major forces present. How precious it is, the three old guys led by this saw this, and their hearts were naturally extremely painful, but in the face of this unfathomable cultivation Ling Xiao in front of them, they could only pretend to be smiling without knowing it, so as not to offend this senior master who did not know the depths. and brought great disasters to his own sect and family, and even destroyed them.
The moment Ling Xiao evaporated the water stains on his body, he naturally smelled the strange aroma in the spiritual spring, and felt that a trace of supernatural star energy was integrated into his body, which actually had a slight effect of strengthening the body.
Although Ling Xiao glanced at it. It looked very casual, but it still made the three old men on the opposite side suddenly feel uneasy in their hearts for a long time. They have been guarding the spiritual spring for many years by the third family, but don't be favored by the one in front of them. If this is really the case, then, under such a huge gap in strength between the two sides, they can only obediently offer it with both hands, and they dare not refuse at all. However, Ling Xiao's gaze only swept slightly towards the pool, and then swept straight over, without any greed, but turned around and said lightly to the three of them: "I have been isolated from the outside world for a long time, I don't know what major events have happened in the inner region recently?"
"Of course you can, if the seniors don't dislike it, they will wait with the juniors to the hall of our hidden dragon gate, so that the juniors can entertain the seniors, and if the seniors have any questions, the juniors will definitely know everything and say everything. Seeing that Ling Xiao didn't have the slightest interest in their spiritual spring, the old man in white surnamed Liu was suddenly relieved, and hurriedly responded respectfully, fearing that he would snub the great god in front of him.
Seeing this, the other two old men couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, fortunately, fortunately, the matter was not as serious as they imagined after all.
Ling Xiao looked at the young disciples behind them, and couldn't help but sigh for a while, and after thinking for a while, he nodded and responded: "Okay, there are really a lot of things I want to ask, so let's bother a few people." β
"Where! It is an honor for us to be able to entertain such a master as our predecessors!" The white-clothed old man surnamed Liu couldn't help but be overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately responded with a smile on his face, and then hurriedly turned around and ordered a few words to the several disciples under his command, asking them to hurry back to the sect first to make some preparations, so as not to be poorly prepared and neglect the person in front of him. Later, the white-clothed old man surnamed Liu personally led the way for Ling Xiao and walked towards a pavilion in the middle of the mountain peak, and the other two old men also hurriedly chased after several clansmen, respectfully not leaving. "It's rare that your three families can live together so peacefully!" Halfway through, Ling Xiao just said a few casual words, and asked about the location of this place and the distribution of forces here, and he couldn't help but sigh at the moment.
When the old man surnamed Liu heard this, he hurriedly responded with a wry smile: "The seniors said that they were laughing, and we really can't gain a foothold in other places." I am trapped here. After all, the grandmaster-level master of the Baodan realm can be regarded as a master in this inner domain, even in some empires, he is also qualified to take on some positions such as worship and protector, and he dare not say that he is unparalleled, but he is definitely of a high status.
Ling Xiao shook his head and asked with a hint of strangeness: "I see that among these young disciples of yours, it seems that some of them have quite good qualifications, why didn't they send them to those big sects to apprentice and cultivate?
"Seniors don't know, although there are many sects in our Lingyuan Empire, most of them have their own fixed methods of accepting disciples, how can we be qualified to enter these sects, even if there are occasionally one or two particularly outstanding disciples in the sect, we don't dare to let them worship some sects easily, and they still need them to stay to support the faΓ§ade. Among the two old men, the old man in black explained to Ling Xiao carefully, and as he spoke, his face couldn't help but feel a trace of helplessness.
The elders of these small sects and families, when they were young, if they were willing to open a sect and the family worship under some big sects, they might be able to go to the next level of cultivation now, but for the continuation of their own sects and families, they can only stay gloomily, which is also the helplessness of small sects and families. When Ling Xiao heard this, his eyes couldn't help but flicker a few times, and then he nodded indifferently, and did not continue to ask, and at this time, he looked up, but not far away, a pavilion was already towering.
The white-clothed old man surnamed Liu led Ling Xiao straight to the highest pavilion in the middle, along the way, naturally there was no hindrance, and after a while, the group arrived at the door of the pavilion, where there were already two rows of young female disciples, respectfully Hou there. "Seniors, please come in! We don't produce any elixir spirit fruit in Yinlongling, only one kind of green leaf fruit tastes pretty good, and seniors can try it. The old man in white surnamed Liu said as he stepped aside, and Ling Xiao was naturally not polite, and immediately took the lead in striding into the pavilion.
This hall is not too big, the area is only about twenty or thirty zhang, but for such a small sect as the Hidden Dragon Gate, it is more than enough.
Immediately, under the respectful gaze of the three old men, Ling Xiao sat down calmly in the upper seat, while the three old men stood in front of him honestly, and did not dare to sit with Ling Xiao, after all, the difference between the cultivation and identity of the two sides was too great, and Ling Xiao did not pretend to be humble or anything.
Not long after, but three more old men hurried over, respectfully greeted Ling Xiao, in the face of Ling Xiao's powerful existence of unknown origin, where did this third family dare to have the slightest negligence, yes, one by one, they all showed respect and abnormality.
At this time, a beautiful young female disciple, holding a fruit bowl in her hand, walked up and gently placed the fruit plate in front of Ling Xiao, seeing that Ling Xiao didn't seem to have any special instructions, she carefully retreated under the gesture of the eyes of the six elders.
There are more than ten green sè spirit fruits the size of a baby's fist placed in the fruit bowl, which looks watery and smart, but it is gratifying tight, Ling Xiao is knowledgeable, but he doesn't care, he picked up one at random and took a bite, the flesh melts in the mouth, and the taste is also strange, at first it was slightly bitter, but after a short moment, the tip of the tongue was full of mouth, became strangely fragrant, and slid down the throat into the lower abdomen.
"Yes, this green leaf fruit is also a good specialty. Ling Xiao ate a fruit slowly, the corners of his mouth touched slightly, a smile appeared, and he praised it, and then said with a little subtlety: "Don't worry, I came here, it's pure coincidence, if you have any doubts, ask first, wait a minute, I still have questions to ask you?"
"Don't worry, I came here, it's a pure coincidence, if you have any doubts, ask them first, wait a minute, I still have questions to ask you?" Ling Xiao said this, just to temporarily dispel the doubts in the other party's heart, otherwise, if he got some false news, he would lose more than he gained.
Sure enough, after hearing Ling Xiao's words, several powerful figures of the Third Family present couldn't help but subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, and one of them, the old man in black who came with Ling Xiao, couldn't help but ask out loud at the moment: "Senior Ling's cultivation is unfathomable, but his face is a little unfamiliar, could it be that Senior Ling is not the local senior master of our Ling Yuan Empire?"
"Not bad. Ling Xiao didn't have the slightest intention to hide this matter, and when he heard this, he glanced at the old man in black, and immediately replied with a smile: "This seat is indeed not a monk of the Lingyuan Empire, yes, you don't need to worry about anything, after asking some things clearly, this seat will immediately leave this place and return to his hometown, and he will not stay here with you." β
Although he didn't say it explicitly, Ling Xiao also knew that the spiritual spring could wash the muscles and cut the marrow, strengthen the **, and indeed be regarded as a great good baby, these people were probably afraid that they would see wealth and forcibly occupy their spiritual spring. However, how did they know that with Ling Xiao's cultivation status, coupled with the fact that he was sitting in the summoning space, he didn't want any treasures, although this spiritual spring had some miraculous effects, but unfortunately, the quantity was too small, and the quality was not high enough, but it was not something he could see. However, this cannot be said explicitly, and it is inevitably too hurtful to people's self-esteem.
"The seniors are too worried, and it is already a great blessing for us to be lucky enough to be able to see the seniors, how can there be disrespect for the seniors to leave. When the old man surnamed Liu in white heard this, he couldn't help but be startled, and his face changed greatly in an instant, and he hurriedly spoke. Ling Xiao saw that the old man in black also had a sincere look of fear, as if he wanted to explain something. At that moment, he waved his hand, and said indifferently: "Okay, I think that at the beginning, this seat was also cultivated step by step by building a foundation, and what kind of fears and expectations you have in your hearts, this seat naturally knows something." Feel relieved. As a cultivator of this seat, there is no trouble for you to find at leisure, and as long as your answer can satisfy this seat, this seat does not mind giving you some benefits, after all, you can see this seat, and it is considered that there is some chance with this seat. β
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed in their hearts, at the moment. The white-clothed old man surnamed Liu immediately responded respectfully: "If there is anything Senior Ling wants to know, just ask out loud, although we are a small sect, but some of the flowing news is still quite well-informed, I believe that Senior Ling will be satisfied." β
"That's right. But it's the best. Ling Xiao's face couldn't help but smile slightly, although he said that with his cultivation and identity, even if he didn't give the slightest benefit, it is estimated that these people would definitely not take and dare not take any lies to deceive him, but if there is some benefit. This answers the question, naturally it is more dedicated, and some things that can be said or cannot be said, it is estimated that they will take the initiative to say it. Slightly turn your head. Glancing at these people, Ling Xiao immediately said quietly: "It has been three or four months since the Holy Cloud Mountain Range's Burial Sacred Valley opened, and many top monks in the Inner Region have entered the Burial Sacred Valley to hunt for treasures, you are so close to the Northern Wasteland, I think you should know some of the circumstances, let me tell me about this matter first." β
"The Burial Sacred Valley in the depths of the Shengyun Mountain Range, although the juniors did not participate in this matter, they also know a thing or two, especially this year's situation, which is far more than in previous years, this is a big momentum, and there are naturally more people who know. When the white-clothed old man surnamed Liu heard Ling Xiao ask about this, although he felt a little surprised in his heart, he still didn't think about it and immediately responded. Then, he sorted out the relevant matters a little in his heart, and saw that Ling Xiao didn't have any other problems, so he continued: "I hope Senior Ling forgive me, that Burial Sacred Valley is the most ferocious and dangerous place in the Inner Domain, and we definitely don't dare to break in, so these things are all hearsay, and there is a bit of truth or falsehood, but it is difficult to guarantee." β
