Chapter 13: The Secret Realm (Seeking Collection)

On the snow-white bed, He Ping sat cross-legged, frowning slightly.

He Jian said that he would come in a few days, but until now, there has been no news.

He Ping has no money, and before noon, he must check out, otherwise, people will come to catch him.

He carried the bag on his back and walked out of the inn.

On the streets, people are in a hurry and bustling.

He Ping stood for a moment, took a light breath, and strode out of the city.

~~~~~~~~~~

Two years later, Mingzhou, South of China, Lefeng Town.

In a small tavern, a young man sat alone by the window, bowing his head and eating silently.

There were two plates of vegetables in front of him, a large glass of water, the dishes were very ordinary, a plate of scrambled eggs, a plate of spicy tofu, and the cup of water was steaming with a hint of heat.

The young man raised his head, it was a fair face, like a carving, with sharp edges and corners, thick sword eyebrows, dark and deep eyes, a high nose bridge, perfect lips, handsome and abnormal, it was He Ping.

At this time, he was already at the second level of qi training. Who knows what hardships he endured?

He cultivated hard, but he never felt the spiritual power in his body. Is it because between heaven and earth, the aura is too thin, or is his spiritual root too poor?

He insisted on practicing physical exercises on the copper sheet every day.

Under the waterfall, the water pours down and the sound is like thunder.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and stood in the middle of the torrent. He looked up to the sky and roared, shouting to vibrate Lin Yue and rush into the sky.

In the dense forest, the trees are uneven, thorny, and impermeable.

He rushed forward with all his might, one branch after another, whipping his body. Long wounds, wisps of red blood, he almost became a bloody man, and he still kept walking, like a shock.

The heat is scorching, the sun is like fire, and everything is difficult to eliminate.

But he carried the boulder on his back and struggled to climb to the top of the mountain.

Bean-sized beads of sweat fell like rain.

In the cold winter, the cold wind is biting, and the dripping water turns into ice. People in their leisure time gather around the stove and enjoy the warmth of the flame.

He was naked~ naked, squatting on top of the small lake, clenching his fists, shouting, and slamming down.

Knock –

There was a slight crack on the surface of the ice, with a hint of red.

Knock knock, a punch smashed, and with a click, the ice finally shattered.

He leaped into the icy water.

What kind of days were these? He endured inhuman pain, and his body was full of wounds.

Why, other traversers are proud of the world, why can't he?

When he is down, he will remember that beautiful face, and in a thousand years, if you can't become a god, I will kill you with my own hands!

Don't worry, I won't live up to you! Your golden blood will not be shed in vain!

Under the operation of the body refining exercises, the wounds on his body quickly healed without leaving any marks.

The physical skills were slowly improving, but the mana cultivation had not improved, and he still couldn't feel the spiritual power in his body.

He Ping gritted his teeth, took out the treasured jade bottle, opened the lid, and a strong medicinal fragrance came to his face. He first cut off a small piece of elixir with a knife and put it in his mouth.

The pill melted in his mouth, and in less than a minute, he suddenly felt that his body was extremely hot, and he wanted to burrow into the ice water.

He Ping knew that the effect of the medicine was coming, so he hurriedly meditated and cultivated.

Reciting the exercises silently in his heart and placing his consciousness in the meridians, he had repeated them thousands of times a long time ago, and he was already familiar with them.

This time, there was a slight difference, there was a slight coldness in the meridians, as thin as hair, forming a strong contrast with the feeling of dryness and heat all over the body.

He Ping held back his excitement and continued to use his consciousness to guide, the coolness became clearer and clearer, sure enough, it was the spiritual power mentioned in the book, he had cultivated the spiritual power, and he was barely a beginner!

Didn't he say that words could be said casually, but medicine could not be taken casually? He actually hit it crookedly, because after eating a small piece of pill, he had a trace of spiritual power in his body!

Who said that he would explode and die? If you come out, I promise not to kill you! After such a long time, he actually believed it, what a fool, how much time did he waste?

How did He Ping know that if a mortal swallows the pill, he will really explode and die! But are you a mortal? Not to mention the double buff, under the transformation of that drop of golden blood, you are already comparable to a demon beast, plus the tempering of the god and demon tempering body, the strength of the body has reached a terrifying level.

He Ping likes this cultivation method very much, and in addition to refining the body, he swallows a few small pieces of pills every day and meditates and cultivates.

In this way, after swallowing the pill in the vial, he actually opened up two meridians and came to the second layer of qi training.

Although his cultivation is very poor, he can't spell a single spell, and he is also a little monk.

Behind He Ping, at a small dining table, a pair of young men and women were discussing something softly while eating.

The woman is graceful and pretty, pure as the little sister next door, the most eye-catching, is her proud figure, what is the childlike face? If she is on the earth, she is the favorite of otaku, the goddess in everyone's heart!

The man is personable and has an elegant temperament.

The man said softly: "Fei'er, let's go by ourselves! If you look for someone else, in case you meet someone who is not ladylike!"

"I think it's safe to find another person. ”

The two discussed it for a while and seemed to have reached an agreement.

The woman left her seat, came to He Ping, and said softly: "This big brother, can you..."

He Ping was originally eating with his head down, but when he heard someone talking, he raised his head.

The woman was stunned for a moment, and stopped talking.

He Ping took a light breath, stared at the woman's pretty face, and was silent for a long time.

The woman's face was slightly red, and her head was bowed.

The man looked this way, and on his handsome face, a fierce color suddenly appeared, and it disappeared in a flash.

He Ping is an otaku, but he doesn't want to get into it, but remembers the bits and pieces of the past.

Dressed in a light-colored floral dress, with a high ponytail, a black backpack on her back, and a large bronze suitcase, her face was a little shy.

"Senior, how do you go to the physics department?"

It turned out to be her?

"Are you a freshman in our department, come with me!"

He Ping took her suitcase.

"Thank you, senior!"

She has a smile and a variety of charms, which can melt the hearts of thousands of otaku.

In the laboratory, she knocked lightly on the door, and seeing that no one was talking, she gently pushed open a crack in the door, and her pretty face poked into the halfway.

"Hey, senior, why are you here?"

He Ping stopped tapping on the keyboard, turned his head sideways, and was a little surprised, the academy said that it was her who sent him an assistant.

He Ping smiled: "This is my project, of course I'm here!"

Does everyone he once knew have to meet him? Is this just that, isn't it a bitter rivalry?

"Brother Zhang and I want to invite fellow Daoists over there for a talk. ”

The woman's voice was very low, and she pointed to the table next to her.

He Ping did not refuse, holding the rice chopsticks in one hand and pinching the two dishes in the other, and moved them over there.

He placed the meal in the corner of the table and nodded at the man.

"I wonder what the two of you are looking for me?"

The man smiled: "You and I are in the same way, I won't go around in circles." The two of us have discovered a secret place and want to invite our brothers to go with us. ”

Is there such a good thing? He Ping hardly believed his ears.

Why is it that casual cultivation is miserable, it's not that there are no cultivation resources? Cultivation needs to absorb the aura of heaven and earth for growth, but in most places, the aura of heaven and earth is thin and can hardly be absorbed, so it is not bad if cultivation does not fall, let alone any cultivation growth.

In order to make up for the lack of spiritual energy in heaven and earth, cultivators can also absorb the spiritual energy inside the spirit stone. Spirit stones are essential for cultivators, and they are also the currency for transactions between cultivators.

Then there is the elixir, its effect is better than that of the spirit stone, but unfortunately it is even more scarce.

He Ping came out this time because there was no pill. I wanted to try my luck when I came out, but I didn't expect him to really encounter a good thing.

Not to mention the heavenly and earthly treasures in the secret realm, the aura of heaven and earth in it is enviable.

Of course, the most important thing is the treasure of heaven and earth, because there are no cultivators involved, there will generally be a rare spiritual herb elixir inside, even if it is an ordinary elixir, because of its age, it will become the best.

This is simply pie in the sky, and if someone sends him a pillow when he is sleepy, how can he have such good luck? He won't believe it if he is killed! It can't be a trap, right? But what's the use of people deceiving him, a little rookie? Even if he knows that it may be a trap, he must jump, and seek wealth and danger, in case there is really a secret realm?

He Ping smiled: "I'm a rookie, maybe I'll become a burden to the two." ”

The man said, "Little brother is polite!

The woman hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, the three of us will go together and take care of multiple copies!"

The man said: "When we get there, we will share the treasure according to how much we contribute, and no one will suffer." ”

"Does that mean that if I don't contribute during the treasure hunt, I won't be given anything inside?"

He Ping's words made the man stunned, what does this guy mean? How can he ask such a question? But he still said: "Yes, but the medicinal herbs with relatively low value, it doesn't hurt to share some." ”

He Ping nodded: "Okay, I agree! When I finish eating this bowl of rice, I will go with you." ”

According to the two men, the secret realm they discovered was in the west of the town, in a valley, about a hundred miles away from the town.

It was a primeval forest, overgrown with shrubs, and it was not easy to enter, so the secret realm was not discovered by others.

That secret realm is in the depths of the primeval forest, and there is a defensive formation outside, and only by opening this formation can you enter.

Neither of them is a formation mage, and they have only practiced the third layer of qi in their cultivation, and it will take at least a month to break the formation by brute force, and that defensive array has the ability to repair automatically, the slower the formation is broken, the more difficult it is.

What the two are most afraid of is that because the time drags on for too long, they will be discovered by others, and then there will be trouble.

He Ping felt that what the two said also made some sense. The three of them bought fast horses from the post station and traveled west together.

The distance of 100 miles is not far, but the road is not easy to walk.

Along the way, there are sheep intestine paths, and some roads are next to mountain cliffs.

With rugged paths, towering cliffs, and bottomless cliffs, He Ping was afraid that he would be crushed if he was not careful.

Two hours later, the three of them came to a huge valley, on both sides of the valley, trees covered the sky and the sun, and the thatch at the bottom of the valley grew, and the ground could not be seen, but the sound of gurgling water could be heard.

It's a deserted place, but it's possible that something is hidden.

The man stopped suddenly, looked around, and turned to look at He Ping, with a playful smile on his face.

He Ping's heart froze, and he subconsciously took a step back, forced the uneasiness in his heart, and asked carefully, "Have you arrived?"

"It's here!"

The smile on the man's face was even stronger.

The woman quietly took a few steps back, intentionally or unintentionally blocking He Ping's retreat.
