The three sects had already set a route to enter the inner lake, so the monks in Aoki Castle could not directly cross through the south of Aoki Lake from Aoki Castle to enter the inner lake, but needed to take a detour to the east and walk a long land route before entering the inner lake, and finally enter the inner lake.

There is a temporary fang market in the inner lake of Aoki Lake due to the opening of the secret realm, on a small island less than twenty miles away from the secret realm of Aoki Lake, which is co-presided over by the three sects.

The market is not big, but it is very lively, and there are far more than one or two hundred monks who come here every year, and some monks who have not received a pass will come here to try their chances and see if they can find an opportunity, or find their favorite treasures.

Therefore, the auction in this market is quite popular every year, and some places where monks set up their own stalls also have some unexpected gains.

Kojimafang City will be open for three months, from one month before the opening of the secret realm to one month after the end. Whenever the secret realm ends, there is no shortage of monks from the Jindan stage who come here to buy some rare treasures.

Zhang Yifan also walked around quite novelly, and also participated in two auctions, but he didn't gain much, whether it was the magic weapon talisman or the pill exercise, there was nothing he could look at.

However, he found a rare elixir ancient recipe in the stalls of some monks, and he was quite happy.

One of the characteristics of the ancient formula is that the elixir is difficult to find, I don't know what it is, but according to the refining method of the ancient formula, the erysipelas contained in the pill will be much higher than the current refining, and it is not suitable for taking a large amount, and the value will be much lower.

Because of the mysterious spring water, Zhang Yifan doesn't care about erysipelas, the only thing is to find the elixir mentioned in the ancient recipe. Because of the age, the names of some ancient prescriptions are somewhat different from the present, and some elixirs are even extinct, which is also the main reason why ancient prescriptions are very unpopular.

The elixir in this ancient prescription that Zhang Yifan acquired this time can be said to be very precious.

The name of the ancient pill is Bai Fu Dan, which can significantly refine the mana of the late stage of cultivating the foundation of the cultivator. The main elixir in the ancient Danfang is an elixir called white cocos flower, this elixir Zhang Yifan has never heard of, let alone refined, the Danfang is mainly used for research.

However, it would be even better if he could really find this elixir called White Cocos Flower, so that Zhang Yifan would not have to worry about the elixir in the later stage of foundation building for the time being.

Although Purple Qi Dispersion and Caihu Dan can also refine the mana in the late stage of foundation building, the effect is a cut worse than before, and this effect will get worse and worse as the cultivation increases.

There are very few pills that he can obviously refine in the late stage of foundation building now, and this also includes some of the pills in the late stage of foundation building given to him by the sect.

As for the Yuanyang Pill and the Hanjiao Pill, although they can also refine the mana in the late stage of foundation building, they can only be taken at the critical moment of breaking through the bottleneck. Not to mention the Ning Yuan Pill and the Washing God Pill, etc., which are pills prepared for the impact of the Jindan period.

Therefore, since entering the late stage of foundation building, his cultivation speed has been much slower than before. This made him desperate to find some elixirs that could improve the mana in the late stage of foundation building, but unfortunately he didn't find anything.

After the pill reaches the foundation building period, the higher the level, the more difficult it is to find, although there are several pills in the Burning Sky Valley, but with his current status and contributions, he can't exchange them.

After all, this involves the foundation of a sect, and it is definitely not something that Zhang Yifan, who is a great master of refining, can access, unless he is a great master of alchemy, it is possible, but he must also make enough contributions.

This time I saw this ancient recipe in the market, although the other party sold 5,000 spirit stones and did not bargain, it was still an ancient recipe, but Zhang Yifan still bought it without hesitation, and felt that it was worth it.

At present, the most valuable pill in his hand is undoubtedly the pill of the two Yi Dan, and now his relevant elixirs and auxiliary materials have been gathered, but he needs an alchemy quasi-great master to truly guarantee a certain success, and if he wants to be able to refine it with a high chance, he needs the alchemy great master realm.

He is only an alchemy grandmaster now, and he is not a small distance away from the alchemy quasi-grandmaster, let alone the refiner grandmaster. As a Great Grandmaster of Alchemy, he knew how difficult it was to achieve this realm, not to mention the rarer Alchemy Grand Master.

Therefore, he now urgently needs some pills to increase his understanding of alchemy, and at the same time refine some high-grade pills to increase his alchemy realm.

Originally, he still had a golden pill in his hand, called Turtle Breath Pill, although with his current realm, as long as he didn't care about the Cheng Dan rate, he could refine it, and he could greatly improve his alchemy experience.

But the main material of this Danfang is a kind of demon pill of the Jindan stage demon beast hidden turtle, which makes it difficult for him to use it at present, first, it is too dangerous and difficult to deal with the Jindan stage demon beast, and second, he doesn't know where to find the hidden turtle at all.

According to Zhang Yifan's calculations, he may only be less than ten years away from the False Pill realm, so he needs to prepare the treasure of condensing the Golden Pill in advance.

In addition to participating in some auctions and purchasing some necessary things, Zhang Yifan will also participate in some casual cultivation gatherings and get acquainted with some casual cultivators to collect information about the secret realm.

Through these gatherings, combined with some information from the sect, Zhang Yifan had a more specific understanding of the information of the secret realm, and at the same time made a plan in his heart.

Previously, in order to conceal his whereabouts, Jiuhe Zhenren secretly bought a pass token from the hands of the three sects and allowed him to enter the secret realm through the secret passage.

According to the original plan, he was going to enter directly, but it was easy to arouse suspicion and concern when he was alone, and after understanding the secret realm, he was ready to find a team, join it, and then wait for the secret realm to enter the secret realm together, and then take the opportunity to leave, so that it would be much safer.

Moreover, he has a secret realm pass token of Burning Sky Valley in his hand, and he will have one more choice when the time comes.

There is still more than half a month before the opening of the secret realm, Zhang Yifan is secretly looking for a team to enter the secret realm, most of them are acquaintances, everyone is very wary of him, and he has no way to join.

Fortunately, not all teams are like this, some casual cultivators are used to being alone, and there are not many friends, and after coming to the island to learn about some secret things, I really found that it would be much safer to form a team, and I had to search for the team.

In the end, when there were still three days before the opening of the secret realm, Zhang Yifan formed a five-person team with others, but he was barely able to cope with the current situation.

The eldest of the five was an old man who looked to be very old, with a gray beard and a rather kind face, who could speak well, and finally pulled the other four into a team.

Lao Dao claimed to be a native of Qingling Dao, a local monk in Lingnan Prefecture, who cultivated in the later stage of foundation building, and was an elder of a small sect. The main purpose of coming to the Aoki Lake Secret Realm this time was to find a spirit pet egg of a miaotooth crocodile for his own apprentice.

The rest of the team, except for Zhang Yifan, was a young Buddhist monk who looked like a novice, a young scholar, and a middle-aged female cultivator.

In the five-person squad, Lao Dao was a cultivator in the late stage of foundation building, Sha Mi and middle-aged female cultivators were in the middle stage of foundation building, and Zhang Yifan and the young scholar were cultivators in the early stage of foundation building.

Zhang Yifan sighed, except for the old way, the other four people, including himself, are very special, and they don't know if it's the misfortune or luck of this old way.

Although these people are very deeply hidden, Zhang Yifan's divine sense has already detected some clues.

Although he is young, he has a calm personality, always with a smile on his lips, and his thin body looks ordinary, bronzed, and only has an ordinary storage bag.

But in this way, Zhang Yifan already felt that the other party's physical body should be extremely powerful, not much worse than him, and his divine sense was not weak. When Zhang Yifan secretly observed Shami, the other party seemed to have a feeling, and his originally closed eyes opened. Fortunately, Zhang Yifan was cautious and quickly terminated the investigation.

I don't know why, Zhang Yifan always feels that the other party seems to be a little familiar, and he always feels that he has seen it somewhere. In the end, I was really not impressed, so I gave up.

The young scholar dressed as a monk named Fang Ce, with a melancholy, eternally cold face, a blue face, as if suffering from a serious illness, taciturn and not like to speak.

But Zhang Yifan knew that this should be just a disguise for Fang Ce, and the other party should have cultivated an extremely powerful ice attribute technique, and it was extremely hidden.

Zhang Yifan's cultivation has the "Xuanhan Six Refinings", although the third refining has not yet been completely cultivated, but he has a very keen sense of this aspect, so he is aware of it. Of course, the other party should have also discovered his abnormality, and looked at him a few times at first, and then stopped paying attention.

As for the middle-aged female cultivator, who called herself Mrs. Yin, Zhang Yifan originally thought that the other party was just an ordinary casual cultivation in the middle stage of foundation building, but the sudden slow operation of Miao Lian in his mind made Zhang Yifan vigilant.

And when he intentionally or unintentionally approached the nun for a distance, Zhang Yifan felt some inexplicable sense of danger, although this feeling was very light, but it also let him know that the other party must be very dangerous, far from an ordinary monk.

At this time, the five of them were discussing things in a teahouse.

"Hehe, everyone, there are still three days before the start of the secret realm, let's discuss how to act after entering the secret realm, right?" said to everyone with a smile.

But seeing that no one seemed to express his position, Lao Dao's face was a little embarrassed, and then he recovered and touched his white beard.

"Since everyone didn't speak, then the poor Dao threw away Yinyu and said it first. There is no danger in the first two or three hundred miles of the secret realm, and only the dark whirlpool will appear among the three evils, but there are no valuable treasures, generally the monks of some sects in the qi refining period will experience here, I believe that everyone's purpose is not here. And once you pass the Undercurrent Valley, the danger begins to increase, and you may encounter other monks at any time, and everyone will probably talk about the spells they know and the magic weapons they are good at, and they will be familiar with each other, so they can take care of each other. ”

"Poor Dao majored in wood attribute exercises, and knew some wood attribute spells, which were not very powerful, but they had a bit of a miraculous effect on entanglement of the enemy. The main magic weapon used is a green wood whip, which can be attacked and defended, and is a top-level magic weapon. After speaking, Qingling Daoist looked at the others.

"The little monk mainly cultivates Buddhism, although the power is not high, but it has a miraculous effect on some ghosts, ghosts, monsters and other things, the main magic weapon is a purple gold robe, the top defense magic weapon, the power is not bad, it can protect everyone's safety. Shami Changnian said.

"The concubine's body cultivates the water attribute exercises, and she is also a little confident in the body method, using a mercury bell, a top-level magic weapon. Lady Silver said lightly.

"Ice exercises, cold moon knives, top-level magic weapons. Fang Ce said very simply.

"What I practice below is a gold-based spell, and I use a top-grade magic weapon, the Golden Spear, and I am good at using talismans. Zhang Yifan did not reveal the information that he knew Lei Fa, and vaguely felt that this matter needed to be hidden.

"Hehe, it seems that your strength is not bad, so you can rest assured. The purpose of Poor Dao this time is to go to the deep valley of the Miaofang crocodile eight hundred miles away in the secret realm, and I want to try my luck, I don't know where you are going?"

"The little monk can go anywhere, the main thing is to have a little training, there is no special destination, just go with the Taoist. ”

"The concubine body is the same as the Taoist chief, and she is also a miaotooth crocodile deep valley. Lady Silver said with a smile on her originally plain face.

"Hankawa. Fang Ce still said coldly.

"Fang Daoyou, but you want to hunt Han Jiao, listen to the advice of Poor Dao, that place is one of the most dangerous areas in the secret realm at present, Han Jiao's strength in the water is not trivial, even if it is a fourth-level Han Jiao, it is very difficult for monks in the late stage of foundation building to deal with it. What's more, the temperature in Hanchuan was extremely low, and the monk didn't stay in it for long at all. ”

"Don't worry about it. ”

"Okay, since Fang Daoyou insists, then Poor Dao won't say anything, but let's go with us before and take care of each other. Qingling Daoist said helplessly.

Fang Ce nodded in agreement.

Then Qingling Daoist turned his head to look at Zhang Yifan, "Li Daoyou, what about you?"

"I don't have any particular places I want to go, so let's go with the Taoist first. Zhang Yifan said with a smile.

He thought that the dangerous place he was going to was extremely hidden, but the road ahead was basically the same, so he acted together first, and when the time came, he was looking for an opportunity to separate.

"Haha, that's great, at least to make sure that when we reach the Tooth Crocodile Valley, the team is intact and the danger is much lower. Seeing that everyone had the same destination, Qingling Daoist first said happily, and then reminded his teammates with fear: "But we still have to guard against the three evils of the Aoki Lake Secret Realm, and if you are not careful, you will fall into it, so you still have to prepare early." ”

"Thank you Dao Chief, although the concubine knows the three evils of this Aoki Lake Secret Realm, but she doesn't know it, can Dao Chang elaborate on one or two. Lady Yin said to Qingling Daoren.

Zhang Yifan's heart moved on the side, and he was also very interested, although he knew that the three evils of the secret realm of Qingmu Lake were the dark whirlpool, the baby's cry, and the bone-eating fish, and knew some specific situations, but he had not seen it.

The dark whirlpool is a kind of swirling vortex in the water in the secret realm, like a tornado in the water, with extremely destructive power. From time to time, the dark whirlpool will suddenly appear in a certain area of the secret realm, and it will appear without warning, and once the monk is trapped in it, it will be crushed to pieces, which is very dangerous.

The baby's cry is a kind of demon beast called Gu Eagle in the Jindan period in the secret realm, its strength is very strong, the sound is like a baby's cry, once you hear this sound, you must run away immediately, otherwise it will become food in the mouth of the Gu Eagle, and there is no luck at all.

As for the bone-eating fish, it is the most dangerous of them, the bone-eating fish does not devour everything, and as soon as it appears, it is tens of thousands, which is very terrifying. If there were a lot of them, it would be difficult for them to escape even if they were besieged.

And once the Bone Eater appears in the secret realm, unless the monk can insist on pulling the bead to teleport himself out of the secret realm entrance, it will only fall.

However, this pest generally does not appear, and it has only appeared no more than ten times in the history of the past thousand years, but each appearance is a disaster for the monks in the secret realm, and almost no monks can escape the predation of the bone-eating fish.
