When he returned to the hall on the first floor, he saw that the old man was motionless with his eyes slightly closed, so Lin Xi didn't say anything, bowed to the old man, and planned to leave.

At this moment, the old man's voice suddenly sounded in his ears, "I didn't expect that you have only been in the field for less than three years, and you have begun to condense the duality heavy earth. ”

Lin Xi was taken aback, turned around and said respectfully, "Please also ask Uncle Shi for some advice." ”

The old man slowly opened his eyes, and after looking at Lin Xi a few times, he said with a smile, "It seems that your attainments in the earth escape technique are not low, otherwise you would not be so eager for quick success, but the materials needed to condense the dualistic heavy earth are all rare things, you must have seen it." ”

Lin Xi smiled bitterly, "As Uncle Shi said. ”

"Hehe, the old man said something shocking, with your current cultivation, even if you have all the materials, it is a fantasy to want to condense the dualistic heavy earth, but from another point of view, it is far from being a rainy day. The old man has nothing to help you, so I'll show you the way. The old man said with a smile.

"Uncle, please speak. Lin Xi looked deaf.

"Little guy, have you ever heard of the Celestial Secret Realm?" the old man asked suddenly.

"Tianhua Secret Realm?" Lin Xi was stunned.

The old man saw his reaction in his eyes, and there didn't seem to be too much surprise, and immediately smiled slightly, and explained, "The Tianhua Secret Realm is an ancient strange land, which contains countless heavenly and earthly treasures, as far as I know, whether it is the dry stone or the Langtian Divine Wood, they have all appeared there, as for the other types of materials you need, if you look carefully, you should be able to find a lot, which is much more convenient than your Tiannan Haibei." ”

"Ancient Strange Land, dare to ask Uncle Shi, if you want to enter this secret realm, I'm afraid it's not easy, right?" Lin Xi asked with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

"Of course, the Tianhua Secret Realm is jointly controlled by the twenty-eight sects in Youzhou, and it is only opened once every ten years, our cultivation realm has always relied on strength to speak, these twenty-eight sects, which sect is stronger, the heavier the right to speak, when the secret realm is opened, the more disciples are sent in, and naturally, the more treasures can be obtained. ”

"This gate has been established for less than a hundred years, and the last time the secret realm was opened, it only got twenty places, but I estimate that this time there should be an increase, and the specific number is inconclusive. The old man explained.

"Twenty people!" Lin Xi couldn't help but have a strange color in his eyes when he heard this.

"Yes, and these twenty people will be selected from the upcoming big competition, that is to say, only if you enter the top twenty people in the big competition, can you guarantee that you have the qualification to enter the secret realm. The old man said calmly.

"Uncle Shi has only seen two sides of his disciple, how can he have so much confidence in his disciple?" Lin Xi's eyes flashed slightly, and he couldn't help but ask.

"You have an earth-based spiritual vein, and I don't know how strong you are, but if you explore the treasures of heaven and earth in the secret realm, even the disciples of the Jindan realm are not as good as yours, as far as I know, among the hundreds of disciples of this sect, there are less than ten earth-based spiritual veins, and among these ten people, only you can make me look at you. The old man laughed.

"I see!" Lin Xi's face suddenly became strange when he heard this.

"Breaking into the top 20 of the big competition, it's not as difficult as you think, below the ranks, how big can the difference in strength be? Okay, the old man just gave you a suggestion, if there is nothing to do, you can go back." The old man said calmly.

"Yes, disciple retire!" Lin Xi's expression changed slightly, and after saluting the old man, he strode out of the Spirit Technology Pavilion.

Behind him, the old man stared intently at his back, with a look of confusion in his eyes.

After a while, I heard him mutter, "This person, although he is not related to Lin Shu, why are the two of them so similar?"

······

After leaving the Spirit Skill Pavilion, Lin Xi went all the way back to his residence, but after that, after less than a cup of tea, he once again rose to the sky and flew towards the top of the mountain.

"Disciple to meet Master!" came to Lan Fengrong's residence, and after he shouted respectfully, he stood outside the courtyard and waited.

A moment later, Lan Fengrong's voice came from his ears, "Come in." ”

Lin Xi pushed the door in, and after seeing Lan Fengrong in the pavilion, he immediately stepped forward, bowed and said, "The disciple hasn't come to visit the master for a few days, how is the master?"

"Good. Lan Fengrong smiled, and then asked, "Seeing that you are in a hurry, is there something wrong?"

"The disciple went out on a mission some time ago, and got some blue-clothed grass, which is said to have the effect of beautifying and nourishing the skin, so he brought it to the master. Lin Xi said, took out more than a dozen blue grass plants from the storage bag, and respectfully sent them to Lan Fengrong.

These blue-clothed grasses were naturally left over after he delivered the task, in fact, when he knew the efficacy of blue-clothed grass, he had such a plan in his heart.

Lan Fengrong took the blue coat grass with a slight smile, and after motioning for Lin Xi to sit down, he said, "I will accept your wishes, what happened to this mission?" ”

When Lin Xi heard this, after sitting down opposite him, he told the experience during the mission.

"By the way, Master, after the disciple returned from the mission, he went to the Spirit Technology Pavilion to exchange for the condensation method of the dual-element heavy earth, in case of future needs. After Master Li of the Spirit Technology Pavilion knew this, he actually took the initiative to tell his disciple about the Tianhua Secret Realm, I don't know what the master thinks about this?" After finishing speaking, Lin Xi hesitated slightly, and then asked the biggest doubt in his heart.

"Heavenly Secret Realm!"

Lan Fengrong couldn't help but be surprised, and said, "I didn't expect Senior Brother Li to tell you about this matter, but this time you are going to participate in the big competition, so it doesn't hurt to tell you about this matter in advance." ”

"Do you know the origin of the Celestial Secret Realm?" she asked suddenly.

"I heard Master Li say that the Tianhua Secret Realm is an ancient strange place, and the specific disciples don't know. Lin Xi replied.

"Ancient Strange Land?" Lan Fengrong smiled slightly and said, "It's not as exaggerated as Senior Brother Li said, but as far as I know, this secret realm has at least existed for a long time." ”

"About 30,000 years ago, there was a sect called Tianhua Gate, and the Tianhua Secret Realm was the site of this sect. ”

"Thirty thousand years ago!" Lin Xi was suddenly startled!

"Hehe, 30,000 years is indeed a long time. Lan Fengrong said slowly.

"Yang Tianhua, the originator of Tianhuamen, was the world's best cultivator, and was known as the 'right hand of God'! At that time, Tianhuamen was undoubtedly the strongest sect in the entire continent. ”

However, less than a few hundred years after Yang Tianhua's predecessors ascended, Tianhuamen fell apart and collapsed. Therefore, compared to those real 10,000-year-old factions, although Tianhuamen was at its peak, it was only a flash in the pan. ”

"Master said that the Tianhua Secret Realm is the ruins of Tianhuamen? In the disciple's opinion, even if Tianhuamen flourished again ten thousand years ago, but after such a long time, I am afraid that its ruins have already been explored countless times by predecessors, right?" Lin Xi asked with a slight twinkle in his eyes.

Lan Fengrong smiled when he heard this, and said, "It stands to reason that this is true, but the actual situation is not like this. Do you know that our Moissanity Sword Mansion is only one of the two major sects in Moissanite City, and Moissanite City is only one of the twenty-one cities in Youzhou. ”

"To put it further, Youzhou belongs to one of Cangwu Kyushu, outside Cangwu, there are many territories of Zhongzhou, Xiliang and Songhai, and the south of Cangwu is an endless desert, and the desert is further south, there is an empire called Yuncheng Empire, whose strength is stronger than Cangwu, Zhongzhou, Xiliang and Songhai combined. ”

And all these familiar names add up, and they only occupy less than one-tenth of the entire continent. ”

When Lan Fengrong said this, he glanced at Lin Xi and said meaningfully, "After careful calculation like this, you can probably imagine how powerful the Tianhua Gate was ten thousand years ago. ”

Lin Xi couldn't help but be silent.

A 30,000-year-old sect in the continent, and a Moissanjian Mansion established less than a hundred years ago, there is no comparison between the two.

Lan Fengrong continued, "As far as I know, this site has been looted at least a thousand times, and many people have the same questions as you, but it turns out that the number of heavenly and earthly treasures in this secret realm is still unimaginable, and even many species are already extinct on the mainland." ”

"I see!Master, the disciple still has a few doubts, why can the Tianhua Secret Realm only enter once in ten years?Moreover, why is it that the candidates to enter the secret realm are not the seniors in the sect, but are selected from among the disciples in the sect?" Lin Xi asked with some doubts.

"The Heavenly Secret Realm is inexhaustible, and the equivalent is its dangerousness, in the secret realm, there are fierce demon beasts that are no less terrifying than high-level monks, if they are targeted by these demon beasts, even a monk of my level will not escape death. However, according to past experience, these fierce demon beasts will attack intruders above the rank in groups, but they have always been dismissive of the existence below the rank, and the survival rate of disciples below the rank is more than double that when they enter it. ”

"But even so, every time the secret realm is opened, the number of disciples who are lost in it is still not a small number, and the reason why it is opened once every ten years is because of this, and there have even been many sects that have proposed that it is reasonable to open it once in twenty years. Lan Fengrong explained with a smile.

"You have been in the field for three years, and you have also gone out to perform tasks, but you must know that the danger of the Tianhua Secret Realm is not at the same level as the danger you encountered when you perform the mission, and you want to prepare the materials of the dualistic heavy earth in advance, which is understandable, but it is a matter of life, and I still hope that you will think about it carefully. ”

"Moreover, the Tianhua Secret Realm is not accessible to anyone, the Tianhua Secret Realm is located in the Bashan Tribe, and is jointly managed by the twenty-eight sects of Youzhou, and every year because of the number of disciples who enter the secret realm, each sect has to dispute for a long time. The last time the secret realm was opened, there were only twenty people who could enter this gate, and this time it is estimated that it will increase a little, and the specific number is inconclusive. Lan Fengrong said thoughtfully.

"The disciple wants to ask Master, the last time the secret realm was opened, how much was lost among the twenty disciples sent by this sect?" Lin Xi asked.

Lan Fengrong glanced at Lin Xi with deep meaning, and said lightly, "In the secret realm, the sect has lost a total of eight people, twelve disciples who came out alive, and two of them died because of serious injuries. ”

"In this way, only ten of the twenty people in this sect survived!" Rao is Lin Xi has always been calm and calm, and when he heard this number, he couldn't help but be shocked.

"Not only that, the twenty disciples sent by this sect last time were all selected through the big competition, all of them are elites of all veins, and without exception, they have all reached the Jindan realm, are you confident that you will break into the top twenty in this big competition?" Lan Fengrong said earnestly.

When Lin Xi heard this, he couldn't help but fall into deep thought.

However, after a while, he raised his head and said firmly, "The materials required to condense the dualistic heavy earth are all extremely rare, if you want to collect them all, I don't know how much time it will take, if you can collect them all at once, the disciple is still willing to give it a try." ”

Lan Fengrong glanced at Lin Xi, and a hint of strange color flashed in his eyes, and said, "I didn't expect you to be so confident in yourself, since that's the case, then give it a go." ”

"Yes!"

Lin Xi responded, and then asked, "By the way, Master, the disciple has only had a one-sided relationship with that Master Li, but I don't know why he pays so much attention to the disciple?"

"Regarding this point, you may have misunderstood Senior Brother Li, and the reason why Senior Brother Li looks at you differently may be because of Lin Shu. Lan Fengrong said.
