There was no words for the whole night. After Yang Hongyuan combined Gui Qiong's intelligence with everyone in the Eternal Forest, he sent everyone away to look for opportunities.
Of course, several people also have tasks assigned by Yang Hongyuan, and they must pay special attention to two people. One is Sang Wuji, the true disciple of Lingyi Sect, and the current master Lan Sang.
The other person is Xiao Xunqian, a true disciple of the Zifeng Sect. If you encounter two people, you only need to know their whereabouts.
There is no need to think about how many people are in the depths of the Eternal Forest. Only four people can enter in two teams this time.
One group is Yang Hongyuan and Taoist Binglian, and the other is Qiu Linyi and Taoist Tongxu.
Ice Lotus and Bronzebeard are both in the Taoist realm, so they are naturally qualified to explore the ancient dense forest, not to mention the two formation masters Yang Hongyuan and Qiu Linyi assisting them.
Moreover, one yin and one yang coincide with the innate two-dimensional formation that covers the ancient dense forest. Entering the formation and breaking it to hunt for treasures will get twice the result with half the effort.
"After the opening of the Eternal Secret Forest, in addition to many elixirs and spiritual treasures appearing in the periphery, there are forty-nine secret paths in the depths of the dense forest. First come, first served.
No matter entering or exiting, every time you enter a secret path, you may encounter other monks who enter the secret path.
But every time, there are only seven spiritual treasures bred in the ancient dense forest, which means that only the fastest seven people can get the treasure.
So when the Eternal Secret Forest opens, don’t hesitate, be sure to enter at full speed. After finding a secret path, you need to clear the seven hurdles, so that you can reach the final place.”
Regarding the Eternal Secret Forest, Ice Lotus and Bronzebeard were not very clear about it. After all, when it was opened last time, they had just entered the real world.
The two of them didn't ask much about how Yang Hongyuan knew all these things. After all, there were many magical things about this kid.
"However, if nothing can be done, it is better to preserve ourselves. After all, the hibiscus tree born this time is just the icing on the cake for us!"
After Yang Hongyuan finished speaking, he added another sentence.
"Haha, it's so far away, but you don't have to worry. After I have advanced to the Dao realm over the years, I am also qualified to understand many secrets. Do you know how many monks are practicing in the Dao realm now?"
Taoist Bronzebeard was quite confident when he heard this and couldn't help but ask.
"Hey, Master, no matter how lucky I am, I am just a small real monk. How can I compare with you, the ancestor of the Dao Realm?"
What Yang Hongyuan said is indeed true. After all, he has not yet reached the Tao realm, so it is natural that he cannot explain everything in this realm.
However, Binglian and Bronzebeard, under Yang Hongyuan's prompting, entered the Nantianmen where the Immortal Palace is located early, which is a gathering place for monks in the Realm of Realm.
"There are still less than a hundred people now?"
Taoist Binglian sighed when he heard this, and then felt happy again. It is not easy for people of their generation to advance to the Taoist realm.
The root of the problem still lies in a catastrophe that occurred in the world of cultivation thousands of years ago. All states in the world of cultivation seemed to be suddenly in chaos.
This continued for hundreds of years, and the number of monks in the cultivation world decreased by almost 30%.
It can be said that the previous generation of monks like Binglian suffered heavy losses. The large number of basic monks fell, which naturally caused the weakness of high-level monks.
In the past, the number of Taoist monks in the cultivation world basically remained at more than two hundred people, but in the past few hundred years, the number dropped to more than a hundred.
As for Binglian's generation, it is said that because a large number of monks from the previous generation died, their spiritual power and spiritual objects will be relatively abundant.
But the reality is the opposite. It seems that because the previous war caused great damage to the cultivation world, the entire cultivation world seems to have become extremely barren.
The basic spiritual objects and jade coins are not obvious yet. The higher the level of spiritual objects used by monks, the rarer they become.
This has also caused Bing Lian and his generation to practice at a much slower pace than their predecessors, and it has also caused the scarcity of Taoist monks.
The continuous decline of two generations in the cultivation world for thousands of years has caused the number of Taoist monks in the cultivation world to drop below a hundred.
And this number will continue to decrease, because many of the less than a hundred Taoist monks are nearing their longevity.
Binglian and the Taoist monks of their previous generation now have less than fifty people in total.
According to some seniors, the entire cultivation world has never been so weak.
Fortunately, the cultivation world over the past hundred years has restored a lot of vitality. In the cultivation world, Yang Hongyuan and his generation have a much better cultivation environment than Bing Lian and others.
"Thanks to your blessing, Taoist friend Binglian and I were able to obtain the vitality-prolonging treasure of rejuvenation dew last time.
Did you know that after the opening of the Eye of the Thousand Lakes, several Taoist sects in Huzhou opened strongholds at Nantianmen, but their doors were blocked by the Taoist ancestors for several months.
However, the four Huzhou families did not gain much last time. Only the Feiliu Sword Sect, hindered by the influence of the Immortal Palace families, took out a drop, which caused more than ten Taoist ancestors to compete for it."
Yang Hongyuan knew that this was Master Bronzebeard's reminder, and nodded slightly, so that he could cover up his rejuvenation dew.
"Originally, many seniors of Nantianmen had placed their hope in the opening of the Eternal Forest, and there would be life-extending treasures such as thousand-year-old flat peaches. If this were the case, it would be another bloody storm.
Fortunately, except for the various sects in Yanzhou, even the Lingyi Sect doesn't care about fire spiritual roots like Fusang Wood.
So there won’t be many Dao realm monks coming to the Eternal Forest this time, according to my estimate, there are at most a dozen or so!”
Master Binglian opened his mouth and added slightly.
After hearing what the two said, Yang Hongyuan was slightly relieved, so the danger of everyone coming to hunt for treasure this time was naturally much less.
In fact, if Yang Hongyuan hadn't come here with a message, the two Dao realms, Ice Lotus and Bronze Beard, wouldn't have planned to come. After all, although the hibiscus tree was a treasure, it was of no use to them.
But who asked Yang Hongyuan to speak, so the two of them were naturally willing to go through this.
Furthermore, the two of them have advanced to the Taoist realm and have been in seclusion for a long time. It would be nice to go out for a walk.
"However, this time Sangzhou's ancient dense forest is opened, the elixirs in the periphery are still very attractive to the real people. Furthermore, Sangzhou is located in the cultivation world, not far from all the states.
Among your generation, not only from various states and sects, but also many casual cultivators have come, which is a rare experience for you."
Without reaching the Dao realm, we would not know enough information after all, so our knowledge would naturally be limited. Fortunately, Yang Hongyuan hugged Binglian and Bronzebeard's thighs early.
At this moment, after listening to the two people talking in detail, they now have an understanding of the overall trend of the cultivation world.
It is also clear that the current status of Taoist monks in the world of cultivation is not the same as that of real-person monks in Yuzhou a hundred years ago.
Binglian and Bronzebeard now also learned about the agreement that monks from other states should not take action at will in the Yuliangbin Three States.
As representatives of Liang and Bin states, Ice Lotus and Bronzebeard are still above ordinary Taoist realms, and they have learned a lot of secrets over the years.
