300 Wushan Secret Realm
Penglai Immortal Sect, a huge team of more than 200 foundation building monks who participated in the competition for spiritual fruits, rushed on a convoy of dozens of luxurious spirit horses.
This trip was highly secretive, and the spiritual wood doors and windows of all the carriages were sealed with rune paper seals, blocking the divine sense from probing outward, and no disciples were allowed to get off the train halfway.
There were as many as seven or eight people in each carriage, which was a bit stuffy.
Su Chen looked at it, in addition to Wu Qiao and Sun Qingning, the carriage he was riding in total, there were also four top masters of the eighth or ninth floor of the foundation, both men and women.
The crowd occasionally chatted a few words, but eventually fell silent.
One of them, a gray-robed old man on the ninth floor of the foundation building period, coughed violently from time to time, as if he had internal injuries that could not be suppressed.
Su Chen couldn't help but glance at it a few times, this old man's appearance was not unusual, it was easy to forget among the monks, and he didn't pay much attention to it.
The others in the carriage were all strange, and looked at the gray-robed old man in surprise. Immortal cultivators will not be infected unless it is a natural disease, and this is mostly due to injury.
"Senior Brother Zhou Ya, you don't seem to look very good, could it be that you have suffered internal injuries?"
Sun Qingning said strangely.
The gray-robed old man's wrinkled old face smiled, shook his head and sighed: "Alas, half a year ago, I was training in a dangerous place, and I was accidentally injured and hurt my lungs. I took some ordinary healing pills, but I never healed. But it's just a few minor injuries, and it doesn't matter. ”
"Oh, when you get back, ask my grandfather to help you diagnose and prescribe a elixir to heal your wounds. ”
Sun Qingning nodded slightly, and didn't ask any more.
"Thank you! Elder Ling Zusun is not only an alchemy master, but also a top healer, if he can be treated by Elder Sun, this small injury will be healed quickly. ”
Zhou Yasha smiled hoarsely.
The rest of the people in the carriage gradually stopped paying attention to him.
This gray-robed old man, Zhou Ya, had a profound cultivation at the peak of foundation building, and his strength was quite high, and he was one of the only dozens of ninth-level foundation building cultivators in the Penglai Immortal Sect.
But he was born in a casual cultivation and was more withdrawn, so he didn't associate too much with the disciples of other families.
They didn't know him very well, they were just a few faces, and they were limited to a few greetings.
...
The carriage of the spirit horse can travel thousands of miles in a day, going around and around, and it still walks for nearly a month.
The journey is so long that many children of the Penglai family are stunned.
In the past, they participated in the once-in-a-decade Spirit Fruit Battle, and it only took a few days to arrive, and it would be over in half a month. But this time it was surprisingly long, and it took a full month to walk on the road alone.
But fortunately, the foundation building monks no longer need to eat, drink and lasa as often as Qi refining monks, as long as they take a Bigu Pill and a small amount of water, they can endure it for a month.
The convoy finally made it to its destination, near a huge ancient mountain range.
Elder Li Da and the other Jindan elders had already gotten out of the carriage and were preparing something. Great Elder Li shot out a transmission note and shot towards the deep mountains.
In a moment, five figures of Jindan monks wearing the robes of Penglai Immortal Sect flew out of this deep mountain, welcoming everyone's arrival.
The seals of all the carriages were opened, and more than 200 foundation building disciples immediately came out of the dozens of sealed carriages to breathe.
The disciples of the Penglai Immortal Sect got out of the carriage and looked around, wondering where they were.
But the surroundings are full of lofty mountains and dense forests, and even the sound of rushing waves can be heard in the distance, and I can't tell the direction. They were in the sealed carriage on the way, completely unaware of the places they had passed.
Looking at the surrounding scene, it seems to be a deserted, ancient dense forest area in the south.
It seems that the place where the spirit fruit battle is fought is not in the ring, nor in a man-made building, but in a pure wilderness. This kind of place is undoubtedly huge.
Seeing the situation here, many disciples were a little nervous and whispered.
A young family disciple was very surprised, and asked the leader of the team, Elder Li, "Senior Uncle Li, where is this, and we are going to fight for this place?"
Elder Li stood with his hands in his hands, looked at the mountains in the distance, and said indifferently: "You are very lucky, this year's Spirit Fruit Competition was arranged in the ancient Wushan Secret Realm in front of you. It doesn't matter where it is, you'll soon be going in and seeing what's inside. ”
Wushan Secret Realm!
Since it is called a secret realm, it is naturally a wild and primitive hidden wasteland that has not yet been developed and utilized, and is not open to the public.
In the entire Divine Middle-earth land, most of the places where the aura is strong and suitable for cultivating immortals have been carved up by all the large and small immortal sects, and there are very few pure barbaric spiritual lands like this.
In the hands of Penglai Immortal Sect, he holds such a secret realm.
It was completely monopolized by the Penglai Immortal Sect, and was personally guarded by a number of Jindan monks, prohibiting the monks of other Immortal Sects from entering.
In fact, Elder Li himself was also confused, and he didn't understand why this year's Spirit Fruit Battle was placed in this place.
In previous years, every time the location was discussed, the Penglai Sect Master and several powerful Great Elders decided on the place and rules.
But this time, it coincided with Jiang Laozu's exit. He asked about this spiritual fruit dispute, and said that the Wushan Secret Realm is good, and it is suitable for selecting disciples.
The Sect Master and the Great Elders were all puzzled.
This Wushan Secret Realm has been sealed by the Penglai Immortal Sect since it was discovered, and it still maintains its oldest state.
This secret territory is full of ancient dense forests, all kinds of spiritual trees are everywhere, swamps are full of miasma, and high-level demon beasts are everywhere. After the foundation realm cultivators entered, they couldn't even find a figure, which was very dangerous.
Monks Jindan should be cautious in the secret realm.
Although these Jindan monks were puzzled, they didn't dare to have an opinion on Jiang Laozu's words, so they set this year's Spirit Fruit Battle in the Wushan Secret Realm.
"This is the secret realm of Wushan?!"
"I've heard the patriarch mention it, but I don't know where the secret realm is. So this is it!"
When the disciples of the foundation built heard this, they couldn't help but be shaken.
Among them, there were also disciples of the family who listened to the elders of the family, and they had no intention of mentioning that the Penglai Immortal Sect had a secret realm of Wushan in their hands.
This secret realm of Wushan, with a radius of tens of thousands of miles, has towering and steep spiritual mountains and rivers, and more is the boundless wild ancient jungle, with extremely rich aura, which has never been developed by immortal cultivators.
If it is a small sect, it is enough to open a sect here, establish a mountain gate, cultivate spiritual fields, plant spiritual objects, and lay a foundation for thousands of years.
However, the Penglai Immortal Sect sealed this place and sent a number of Jindan elders to guard it for a long time, strictly prohibiting immortal cultivators from entering. Without any development and utilization, let the spirit grass grow, monsters are rampant, and evil miasma is everywhere.
This is to keep the secret realm of Wushan for backup, in case thousands of years, tens of thousands of years later, the spiritual veins and spiritual energy of Penglai Immortal Sect are exhausted and decline, this spare spiritual land secret realm will be used for large-scale development and utilization, so as to continue the luck of the Immortal Sect.
Therefore, even if ordinary foundation building disciples knew that this was the secret realm of Wushan, it would be useless.
Except for a few Jindan elders stationed here, even most of the Jindan elders didn't know the location of this place and had never seen the situation inside.
It was the first time that the disciples of the Foundation Building Foundation had come to this secret realm, and they could not gain additional advantages because of this.
...
Elder Li's gaze swept over all the foundation building disciples, announced the rules, and said, "The Wushan Secret Realm belongs to a high-level dangerous realm. There are countless tree goblins, many monster nests, miasma and poisonous gas, and even Jindan-level monsters in it. Even Elder Jin Dan didn't dare to act rashly, and the foundation building monks had to be even more cautious when they entered it.
A total of ten spirit fruits will be packed in spirit boxes in advance and scattered in different places in the secret territory of Wushan within a radius of tens of thousands of miles. The places where they are placed are extremely dangerous, and there are either large groups of demon beasts nearby, or there are traces of Jindan-level demon beasts, and it is difficult to grab the spirit fruit.
Because of this year's Spirit Fruit Competition, the venue is a huge Wushan Secret Realm, allowing free competition, so the rules of the competition are more cruel than before.
Once you enter the secret realm of Wushan, you are not fellow disciples, brothers, partners, or friends, but competitors. You have to do everything you can to protect yourself, get the spiritual fruit, and come out alive!
In such a dangerous place to fight for the spirit fruit, casualties are inevitable. This battle is an internal battle, and it is allowed to fight each other, but the sect does not encourage it. Remember, do what you can, preferably in a group.
Don't think this is cruel, the slaughter of the immortal cultivation world is already very cruel. To survive, ability is the greatest ability. If you are alone, don't go to death.
As for how to obtain these spiritual fruits, whether it is cooperation or contention, open and covert, it is up to you to decide.
Elder Ben only looks at the end result.
In addition, the time limit for your stay in the secret territory of Wushan is half a year. Half a year later, no matter what the result is, it must come out, otherwise it will be missing and dead by default!
There are a large number of wild spiritual objects of hundreds of years and thousands of years in the secret realm, which can be eaten and used at will to enhance cultivation. This can also be regarded as an additional benefit for you in the Wushan Secret Realm this time. If everyone fails to find the spirit fruit, they can also reap a lot of money.
Also, for the sake of fairness, disciples who enter the secret realm are only allowed to carry pet beasts from the foundation building realm, and they are not allowed to exceed the foundation building period, and everyone must check the beast bag!"
After announcing the rules of this Spirit Fruit Battle, Elder Li began to check.
Immediately, the Jindan elders inspected the storage bags, Sumeru rings, and beast bags carried by more than 200 foundation building monks to see if there were any prohibited items.
It is not allowed to bring Jindan-level spirit pets in, this has always been a practice.
There are some Jindan families with strong financial resources and have raised Jindan-level spirit pets, and the disciples of Zhuji only need a demon exorcism bell to drive them to fight.
This can easily lead to a huge disparity in the combat power of some foundation building disciples, so they are not allowed to carry them into the secret territory of Wushan.
However, third-order primordial magic weapons and the like can still be carried.
The magic weapon is not only of high grade, but also needs to be cultivated for a long time by the foundation building cultivator and integrated with himself in order to exert its power. This can be regarded as the strength of the foundation building monk himself.
Soon, it was Su Chen's turn.
Su Chen was silent and accepted an examination by a Jindan elder.
He had learned the lesson of meeting the ancestor at the top of the sacred mountain. Put the storage bag, the golden pill blue ice flash butterfly, and the ghost banner that seals Zhuang Luyi into the Sumeru ring and throw it into the Zhihai Ling Mountain. Even if the Yuanying Ancestor was in person, he would not be able to detect the existence of Lingshan, so naturally let alone Elder Jindan.
While being inspected by the Jindan elders, the foundation building monks were anxiously thinking about countermeasures, wondering if there were any loopholes in the rules announced by Elder Li.
Elder Jin Dan set the rules, but he didn't prohibit them from taking advantage of the loopholes in the rules.
After all, the flexibility of the brain can drill loopholes, which is also a manifestation of strength.
"The secret territory of Wushan is very dangerous, there are large groups of demon beasts, and even Jindan demon beasts are infested. Why don't we act in a group, eradicate the demon beasts first, squeeze out other opponents, and if we find the spirit fruit, we will fight for the spirit fruit according to our ability!"
The crowd formed in groups of threes and fives, whispering, and inviting some monks who were familiar and trusted to form a group.
Forming a group is one of the easiest ways to gain an advantage.
Su Chen was silently preparing alone, the secret territory of Wushan was dangerous, but he didn't plan to go to Wu Qiao and Sun Qingning to gang up.
Although it will be more convenient and safe at first, if you find the spirit fruit in the end, the stakes of this thing are too great, and you will inevitably turn your face. It's better to just go and find it alone.
