The next day, Yun Ling and Luo Ninghuan arrived at the Wenxian Tea House in Xuanling City as scheduled.
On the way back to the city from Zhang'e Mountain, several people made an appointment to come to Wenxian Tea House the next day to share the previous hunting harvest equally.
Yue Wuchen and the others hadn't arrived yet, so they paid thirty spiritual stones for a small private room on the second floor of the teahouse.
As soon as Yun Ling sat down, she heard a monk with a loud voice from downstairs say: "Did you know that in one year, Longyou Secret Realm will be opened!"
Secret realm opened?
She listened carefully, this was the benefit of spending spiritual stones.
In the small private room, you can hear people talking outside the door, but you can't see the people inside the door at all.
"Senior brother, I have just joined the sect not long ago. Could you please explain this secret realm?"
"Do you know, fellow Taoist, about the legend of our Longyou world? It's a long story..."
"Haha, how slow it is to explain like this. I have a copy of Longyou Secret Realm's extensive knowledge. It not only contains the opening analysis of the secret realm, but also records the location markers of the spiritual grasses discovered by the seniors who have been there. Only five spiritual stones are needed to
Hey, fellow Taoists, are you interested?"
A young monk took out a lot of jade slips, and it seemed that he had come prepared to sell them in this teahouse.
"Give me one."
"Give me two copies and I'll bring them to my junior brother when I go back!"
"I want to..."
Yun Ling and Luo Ninghuan also ordered a copy each, reading while waiting for Yue Wuchen and the others.
The reason why Longyou World is called Longyou is that legend has it that tens of millions of years ago, a divine dragon transformed its own flesh and blood into Longyou spiritual veins here.
The spiritual vein is a circle formed by the dragon body.
The aura is rich and all eight major sects are based on it.
The tail of the divine dragon turned into a slender dragon's spirit vein, which was occupied by countless families of casual cultivators who were not affiliated with the eight sects.
These families united to form the Juxian Alliance.
After the dragon died, the dragon's blood gathered in Longyou's spiritual veins, forming two secret realms, one large and one small.
The smaller one is called Longyou Secret Realm, and the larger one is called Dragon Spirit Land.
Within the secret realm, there are spiritual grasses everywhere and many spiritual beasts.
The ancient cultivators at that time cut down spiritual grass and killed spiritual beasts, causing the two secret realms to become almost deserted.
The last eight sects worked together to seal the secret realm for cultivation and regeneration, and then reopened it thousands of years later.
At the same time, the key to unlocking the secret realm will be divided into nine pieces, each sect will occupy one, and the Juxian Alliance will get one.
The Dragon Spirit Land opens every two hundred years and can be entered from the Qi Refining Stage to the Nascent Soul Stage.
Disciples of the Eight Great Sects and casual cultivators of the Immortal Gathering Alliance must participate in the Wushuang Association Competition. Disciples in the Qi Refining Stage need to be among the top 100, disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage need to be in the top 300, Jindan Stage needs to be in the top 1,000, and Nascent Soul Stage disciples can enter without competition.
.
Apart from the fact that only disciples in the Qi Refining Stage can enter the Longyou Secret Realm, there are not that many rules.
Every thirty years, each sect will allow disciples in the Qi refining stage to compete.
The top 100 members of each sect and the 100 Qi-refining casual cultivators of the Gathering Immortal Alliance can enter the small secret realm to look for opportunities.
"You two are here, we are late." Yue Wuxian rushed into the small private room in a hurry.
"Are the jade slips in the hands of the two junior sisters the Longyou Secret Realm Duowenlu?" Yue Wuchen followed him through the door, holding several jade slips in his hands.
Seeing Yun Ling and the others nodding, he chuckled and said, "I met someone selling it at Fangshikou. I thought that my two junior sisters and senior brother Jun would also need it, so I bought more. I didn't expect that this teahouse would be sold by someone."
"Brother, give it to me and I'll sell it to the junior brothers in Fengnei!"
Yue Wuxian took the jade slip from Yue Wuchen's hand and threw it into the storage bag.
While talking, Jun Ruoming arrived, also holding a jade slip in his hand.
Everyone looked at each other and laughed silently, leaving Jun Ruoming with a confused look on his face.
There seems to be no difference between people in the world of cultivation and people in the secular world when it comes to doing business, and they will not let go of any business opportunity.
Looking at the situation where everyone has one share, Yue Wuxian cannot sell those few pieces.
"Senior Brother Yue, is this too much?" Yun Ling looked at the contents of the storage bag in front of him and asked in surprise.
According to the task, she was rewarded with a bottle of spirit-restoring pill and three thousand spirit stones. The spirit-restoring pill was one bottle, but the spirit stones were more than six thousand, twice as many.
"Junior sister Yun, this is what you deserve. In addition to the one-horned beast, I also sold the other monsters we hunted in the market."
"Even other monsters don't get that much."
Yun Ling remembered that the number of monsters they hunted before they separated was simply not worth so many spirit stones.
"Junior sister, during the six months since you disappeared, we also captured a lot of monsters while looking for you. These are the proceeds from selling those monster beasts together. We are not giving you more, so don't worry, junior sister." Jun Ruoming explained.
He knew that Yun Ling, like him, was not born into an aristocratic family, and he was well aware of the strong self-esteem of people like them.
"But I didn't participate in it later." She continued to refuse.
"Junior Sister Yun," Yue Wuchen called her with a serious look on her face, changing from the gentle smile of the past, "Don't refuse, this is what we have discussed. If it weren't for Junior Sister's righteous deed that day, would we be able to drink here?"
The tea is not known yet. We will keep your kindness in mind, junior sister. These spiritual stones are not something we took out to reward you, they were obtained by other monsters, including junior brother Liu."
After saying this, the other four people all bowed to Yun Ling to express their thanks.
Yun Ling hurriedly returned the courtesy.
"Since senior brothers said this, I am disrespectful and ashamed."
She didn't want to refuse anymore and thought about repaying it if she had the opportunity in the future.
"Haha, don't refuse. Do you still remember the five people we killed together? There are a lot of good things in the two storage bags I chose. I just sold them and exchanged a lot of herbs for them. When I got back, I begged Hong
Senior Sister Hua, please help me refine a few furnaces of pills and take a good retreat to reach the tenth floor. The storage bag you chose will definitely make you a fortune!" Yue Wuxian winked at a few people and smiled.
"Yes, it's a windfall!" Luo Ninghuan agreed, and everyone laughed.
"Junior Sister Yun, Junior Sister Luo, and Senior Brother Jun, the Longyou Secret Realm will be opened in one year, and the sect will have a competition among Qi Refining Stage disciples in a year. The Secret Realm is only opened once in thirty years, so don't miss it, and the sect competition rewards are generous.
For the top ten in the competition, the sect will also give you foundation-building pills, so you should prepare early. Wuxian and I will go back to the sect for retreat now, and we will see you again in a year. Today, the prices of pills, talismans, etc. in the market are slightly higher.
Although the price of spiritual grass is still the same as before, it is bound to rise sooner or later. If you buy it as soon as possible and ask a fellow disciple to refine it, you can save a lot." Yue Wuchen said before leaving.
"Two junior sisters, I have also returned to the sect for retreat." Jun Ruoming also said goodbye.
"Junior sister, let's go, let's go to Fangshi to prepare things for retreat and to compare."
Luo Ninghuan pulled Yun Ling out of the teahouse and went straight to Xuanlingfang.
Sure enough, when they arrived at Xuanlingfang, the people in the place who were noisy were the disciples who were trading.
The elixirs and talismans have all been bought in large quantities, and the number of various elixirs currently in the shop is running low. Some are even out of stock and will not be available again until a month later.
"Junior sister, if you don't buy half of the talismans needed this time, I will draw the remaining half. As for the elixirs, I know a few senior brothers who make alchemy at Xunyang Summit, and I plan to buy some spiritual herbs and ask them to refine them. Entrust them with it.
The rule for refining elixirs is generally five times per session. Even so, it’s cheaper than buying elixirs directly, so why don’t you join us?"
"Senior sister, I'm going to deal with some unnecessary materials first, and I'll come back to you shortly." Yun Ling nodded in agreement.
Common elixirs in Longyou Realm are entrusted to alchemists to make elixirs. They are given five refining materials and get one elixir back.
Alchemy is not successful every time, and the number of possible failures will be deducted, as well as the reward to the alchemist.
One in five times is quite reasonable.
Yun Ling sold four of the seven unowned magic weapons in the storage bag of the casual cultivator that day.
There were three pieces left, and Yun Ling left one for herself, Luo Ninghuan, and Fang Jin.
After selling these magical weapons and monster materials, she had a lot more spiritual stones.
Considering that there were still a lot of elixirs left, Luo Ninghuan and I bought a similar amount of spiritual herbs, as well as some spirit animal blood for drawing talismans and blank talisman paper.
"Junior sister, is it a little too little?" Luo Ninghuan asked hesitantly.
She usually has elixirs from the Luo family as offerings, especially after learning that the sect is testing Xiao Bi, the Luo family will definitely send them again.
She was not short of elixirs, so she didn't buy too many spiritual herbs.
This time I brought Yun Ling to buy spiritual herbs and then asked an acquaintance to make elixirs. I just wanted to help my junior sister.
Retreating to the tenth level of Qi refining in seclusion within a year would require a large amount of elixirs, but Yun Ling's purchase of these was far from enough to cover a third.
"Sister, don't worry," Yun Ling said in a low voice, "I have gained a lot before, and with these, I have enough pills."
When Luo Ninghuan heard this, she was no longer reluctant, so she took Yun Ling to Xunyang Peak, intending to find someone she knew well to make elixirs.
Unexpectedly, this trip did not go as smoothly as imagined!
