Chapter 38 Treasure Hunting in the Secret Realm
After solving the problem of the Huangsha bandits, there was almost no danger in the rest of the journey. They only needed to deal with a few monsters that appeared from time to time. After safely sending the caravan to Jizhou, Su Xiaofan and his party quickly returned Qingyue Sect.
The five people rode the griffin and were about to land in the largest square of the Qingyue Sect, but they found thousands of disciples standing neatly in the darkness below.
"What's going on? Is there going to be a war?" Su Xiaofan looked at the number of people below. The entire Qingyue Sect, including the disciples from the outer sect, gathered in the square.
Su Xiaofan and the others let the griffin land on the edge of the square and walked forward. When they got to the front of the crowd, they found that almost half of the Jindan elders who were usually hard to see were in the square.
"Elder Mei!" His eyes swept over the elders wearing gorgeous clothes, and a familiar figure appeared in Su Xiaofan's field of vision.
"You came back just in time. This conference has just begun."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door of the magnificent hall in front of the square slowly opened, and a fairy wearing white palace clothes, with peerless appearance, noble and cool temperament walked out, it was Yu Mengzhu, the great elder of Qingyue Sect.
After seeing Yu Mengzhu, all the disciples, including some elders, half-knelt and leaned over.
"Disciples, the Five Sects Conference will begin in one month. In order to obtain a higher ranking and to improve your strength, after discussion by the elders, it has been decided to open the secret realm in advance!"
Having said this, Yu Mengzhu raised his jade hands, and a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth poured into Yu Mengzhu's hands like a whirlpool. After accumulating for a while, the spiritual power ball suddenly rushed into the sky, and vortex-like entrances appeared in the square.
"Disciples, enter the Qingyue Secret Realm. If you encounter danger, crush the token at your waist and come out. After half a month, the first person to come out will be awarded three fourth-level demon pills!" Yu Mengzhu announced loudly, and the disciples below heard this. All of them had fiery eyes.
The Qingyue Secret Realm is also the forbidden area of the Qingyue Sect. It contains resources collected by the sect over hundreds of years, as well as the traditions left by countless elders. If ordinary disciples can obtain it, promotion to the Golden Core is just around the corner.
Su Xiaofan looked at the whirlpool-like passage in front of him, hesitated for a while, and walked in directly.
After entering the secret realm, Su Xiaofan found that it was like a small world, with a colorful sky and precious and rare medicinal materials everywhere, each of which could sell a lot of spiritual stones.
"But, where is the exit?" Su Xiaofan walked around and found no place similar to an exit. It seemed that the only way was to move forward.
After walking for half an hour, they stopped in front of a dense forest. Su Xiaofan walked for so long without encountering a single disciple. This secret realm was huge and could not accommodate thousands of people.
After arriving in the forest, Su Xiaofan found someone's footprints, and there was a fierce fighting sound in front of him.
"Senior brother, I discovered this Heavenly Spirit Ring first. What do you mean by your sudden action?"
Lin Wu, who was tall and strong, protected his head while a disciple wearing a gray robe kept attacking him.
"What do you mean? Of course, I mean to kill you!"
The gray-robed disciple had a peak foundation-building cultivation level, even stronger than Qu Shuihan. He jumped in mid-air, raised his feet and kicked towards Lin Wu. Each kick contained powerful spiritual power, causing Lin Wu to move. Unable to stand it up, he finally kicked him under a big tree.
A trace of blood flowed from the corner of Lin Wu's mouth. He knew that he would definitely die at the hands of his senior brother. Unexpectedly, the biggest danger in the secret realm was not the monsters, but his fellow senior brothers.
"For the sake of my fellow disciples, I'll give you a good time!" The gray-robed disciple looked at Lin Wu with a sneer. He raised his right hand, gathering spiritual power in his palm, preparing to kill Lin Wu with one palm.
Just when he struck this palm, Lin Wu closed his eyes in despair. After a while, he felt something falling on him. When he opened his eyes, he found that it was the palm of his senior brother.
"Who! Who is it! Get out!" The gray-robed disciple quickly picked up the broken palm and put it back on the wound with elixir.
Su Xiaofan slowly walked out from behind, his eyes cold.
"Early stage of foundation building? Looking for death!" After the gray-robed disciple took the palm, he realized that Su Xiaofan only had the strength of the early stage of foundation building, and raised his hand to blast out a powerful spiritual power.
Facing the attack from the Peak Foundation Establishment monk, Su Xiaofan didn't panic. He raised his hand and a barrier appeared in front of him, blocking the attack.
"Junior brother, leave quickly, you are no match for him!" Seeing that it was Su Xiaofan who saved him, Lin Wu shouted quickly. He had just fought against the gray-robed disciple and was defeated within three moves.
This is true at the peak of foundation building compared to the middle stage of foundation building, but it will definitely be easier for the opponent Su Xiaofan at the early stage of foundation building.
"Senior brother, you are not afraid of offending the sect's rules when you rob your fellow disciples?" Su Xiaofan said as he looked at the man in gray robe with cold eyes.
"Dead people can't speak. You will all die here. No one will know after I get out that I am still an inner disciple!" The man in gray robe sneered when he saw Su Xiaofan. He had already decided to kill both of them here.
Seeing the madness on his face, Su Xiaofan stopped admonishing him. He closed his eyes and drew out the wind sword, injecting spiritual power into it to make the wind sword emit light cyan light.
"Go to hell!" The man in gray robe raised his left hand and struck with a palm that was as powerful as a rainbow.
When Su Xiaofan saw this, he just waved his wind sword lightly and cut off his palm.
Before the man in gray robe could react, Su Xiaofan had already run behind him and pierced the man's heart with a sword. Under the man in gray robe's eyes full of despair and disbelief, his heart also stopped beating.
"Su Xiaofan...you..." Lin Wu looked at him with wide eyes when he saw that Su Xiaofan had eliminated his senior brother at the peak of Foundation Establishment with two moves.
Although the spiritual power in the gray robe disciple's body was not in the best condition, and his right hand had just been reattached after being chopped off earlier, his strength was truly at the peak of foundation building, but he was killed by Su Xiaofan with two moves.
"Let's go, senior brother, don't pay attention to such villains." Su Xiaofan said with an indifferent expression. He had already advised him before. Since he didn't listen, don't blame yourself for being ruthless.
Su Xiaofan and Lin Wu walked in the jungle, watching their surroundings vigilantly, and be careful of monsters appearing at any time.
"Senior brother, where did you find the treasure in your hand?"
"There is an underground grotto deep in the jungle. There are countless secret treasures there. However, there are many high-level monsters around. I only dared to look for them on the edge just now."
After hearing this, Su Xiaofan went directly to the grotto, while Lin Wu returned the same way.
After walking for who knows how long, the front suddenly became empty with few trees.
Passing through the jungle, there is a pit several miles wide underground. It looks very dark at first glance, but strong spiritual power emerges from under the pit, tempting the monks to go there.
