Unknowingly, Tang Yue has been in Wuji Mountain for more than three months. She has adapted well and practices every day, practicing spells and swordsmanship. Elder Shui also specially opened a sword room for her and put in several sword formations.
, it is not as good as the Sword Cave in the Lord's Mansion of Kunwu City, and it is enough for a monk who has not yet reached the Foundation Establishment Stage. She has reached the ninth level of the Qi Refining Stage. It is true that after the spiritual root upgrade, the cultivation speed has been greatly improved. It was not clear before.
Everything can be figured out now, and the fog at the spiritual platform has also dissipated. The difference in quality of spiritual roots can indeed make a huge difference in a monk's practice.
During these days, she combined fire spells and sword skills, which became much more powerful. She could go to the mission hall to pick up missions and hunt down little monsters.
On this day, she handed in the mission from the Wuji Mountain mission square and was about to return to Xuanying Cave when she met a familiar woman. She looked closely and saw that it was cousin Ruan Ying. "Cousin, I haven't seen you for a long time."
After she arrived at Wuji Mountain, Aunt Shui came to see her once, but she hadn't met her cousin yet. She didn't blame her relatives for being unkind. The monks were busy practicing and didn't see each other very often unless necessary.
She hasn't been to the Shui family yet, let alone the Ruan family. One visit to the Duan family made her feel like she was having a social anxiety attack and needed to take a break.
Ruan Ying saw it was her and came out of the mission hall. She thought for a while and said: "Cousin, you can take the mission now. What kind of cultivation is it?"
Tang Yue just regarded it as a daily greeting, "Nine levels of Qi refining."
Ruan Ying seemed to have made up her mind, "Cousin, cousin, I want to ask you something. Let's go aside and talk in detail. I'll treat you to dinner."
Tang Yue was confused when she was invited to dinner. Ruan Ying ordered a few famous dishes from Kunwu City and poured her a cup of tea.
"Cousin, you are very capable now, and there happens to be something that I need your help with."
"Cousin, what's the problem? If it's really not a problem, I should help you. If it's beyond my ability, then there's nothing I can do."
Cousin Ruan said hurriedly: "Of course it won't be difficult. Do you know the little secret realm of Flowing Fire?"
"Is it the secret family secret that the Zhu family recently opened?"
"Exactly this. The secret realm is only open to monks in the Qi Refining Stage for training. My cousin, you are now at a high level, and I heard that you have learned sword and fire skills, so you should go and experience it."
Tang Yue smiled. She was already at a higher level. In order to encourage her, her cousin said anything. "I am just a monk who has not reached the foundation building stage. Now I am only proficient in swordsmanship and fire."
"Anyway, it's enough to enter the secret realm!" Ruan Ying emphasized.
Tang Yue thought about the situation of the Zhu family's secret realm. It was indeed an ordinary small secret realm with fire attributes. In order to earn some spiritual stones, some families would buy secret realm tokens for other monks.
The levels of monsters in the Flowing Fire Secret Realm are not high enough, and monks in the Qi Refining Stage can handle them. The Zhu family is also afraid that high-level monks will drain the secret realm if they enter, so they do not allow high-level monks to enter.
"Why does my cousin have to ask me to go to the secret realm?"
"Cousin, although the level of monsters in the Flowing Fire Secret Realm is low, the environment is harsh and very dangerous. The Zhu family is afraid that there will be many disciples in an accident. They take responsibility and require the monks to enter in groups of five, so I want to invite you to join
Our group.”
Tang Yue asked again, "Who are the other people in the group?"
Ruan Ying blushed, "The team leader is my senior brother, Hua Feng, the top disciple of Huoyun Valley."
Fire Mist Valley is the sect that Ruan Ying joined in Wuji Mountain. It ranks eighth among the sects and is very powerful. There is magma in Fire Mist Valley, and there are active springs in the small river in the valley, which are both water and fire. The high temperature of the magma evaporates the river water, forming
Clouds and mist in the mountains.
Water and fire coexist here all the year round. Fire has the nature of water and is in liquid form. Water has the nature of fire. The clouds and mist can burn people. It is very magical.
"Senior Brother Hua Feng is the one you stole the pearl for?" Tang Yue asked directly.
Ruan Ying's face turned red and she nodded lightly, "It's my senior brother. This time he went to the Flowing Fire Secret Realm to find the Green Lotus Pure Fire as his natal fire, and he also wanted to find some fire-natured spiritual herbs for us. If he could find more
A few pieces of fire will also be distributed to the team members who have made the greatest contribution."
Tang Yue brought up the matter of Hua Feng, "How did he react when he knew that you were almost killed by my adoptive father, Elder Duan?"
Ruan Ying defended: "Senior brother didn't know that I acted impulsively, and it was all because of that little bitch. He explained to me afterwards that he didn't know that I stole fire for him, so I shouldn't do this in the future. Senior brother still cares about me.
.”
Tang Yue declined to comment, "Who are the others?"
"There is also the second senior brother Ouyang Zhen, and the little bitch Wen Susu who harmed me, they are my junior sisters."
Tang Yue asked curiously: "We are all from your sect, why do you need me to join?"
Ruan Ying bit her lip and said it simply: "The senior brother is at the tenth level of Qi refining, the second senior brother is at the ninth level of Qi refining, that little bitch is at the eighth level of Qi refining, and I only have the sixth level of Qi refining. The senior brother said that my cultivation level is low.
I’m afraid I won’t be able to cope with it after entering the secret realm.”
"But he said that he couldn't find a suitable person. If I can find a trustworthy person who is above the eighth level of Qi Refining, I can join him."
Tang Yue raised his eyebrows, this senior brother asked Ruan Ying to recruit people to join the group.
"Cousin, the other monks I know have either already established a foundation, or their cultivation level is lower than mine, or they are unfamiliar with them. You also know that when a team operates, the most fearful thing is that the members have bad character and may cause trouble."
Tang Yue understands the importance of team members' high credibility in group operations. She used to only operate with people she knew well.
"Does Aunt Shui know about this?" She had better make sure whether Aunt Shui knew about it.
Although this matter sounds okay, it is just a treasure hunt in a secret realm, but according to what happened to Ruan Ying last time, there is no guarantee that there is no trap in it.
Even if Ruan Ying did it unintentionally, there were senior brothers and junior sisters in the team who had cheated her this time, so the whole team was very suspicious.
"My mother doesn't know yet that I came out to look for the monk without telling her."
Sure enough, she advised: "Cousin, this is not appropriate. Let's discuss it with Aunt Shui before deciding whether to go."
Ruan Ying seemed to have made up her mind, with a decisive look on her face, "Cousin, in half an hour, the three cousins have decided to enter the secret realm. Other monks who are willing to form a team can be found at the gate of the secret realm."
"If you don't agree to go with me, then I have to secretly follow senior brother in. I admire senior brother and really can't let that little bitch be proud."
Tang Yue saw that she didn't listen to the advice at all, so he had to say: "Okay, I'll go with you."
The Flowing Fire Secret Realm is not too dangerous. She also has a magic weapon. If she can't blow up the secret realm and take Ruan Ying away, she can still do it.
She was not worried about Ruan Ying going alone. If she didn't meet her today, it would be easy to say that if something happened, she wouldn't have any conscience.
But she met Ruan Ying today. Based on her character, if she went secretly, something would definitely go wrong, but if she turned a blind eye, she wouldn't be able to sleep at night. It would be better to go with her.
Tang Yue suggested to Ruan Ying: "Let's buy something useful."
"OK."
They went to buy things from the secret realm, mainly fire-avoiding beads, spirit-gathering talismans and flying talismans, which would help them get out of danger quickly.
Tang Yue did not forget to send a spiritual message to the Ruan family and Elder Shui, informing them of their whereabouts. If they were really trapped somewhere and did not return for a long time, someone would follow this clue to find them.
Before waiting for a reply, Ruan Ying pulled her to the entrance of the Liuhuo Secret Realm. The Zhu family set up a teleportation array in the square to facilitate the monks who wanted to sign up for the Secret Realm to go to the Secret Realm. Their secret realm was outside Wuji Mountain, not close to the mission light field.
.
"Senior brother, I have found a reliable person. My cousin Tang Yue is at the ninth level of Qi Refining."
Tang Yue looked at Ruan Ying's senior brother. He looked like a human and had a handsome appearance. He really had the resources to charm Ruan Ying.
Hua Feng looked at the person Ruan Ying had brought here. She was pretty and cute at a young age and would also be a little beauty in the future. He cupped his hands and said, "Hello, Junior Sister Tang Yue."
His junior sister shouted smoothly, and Tang Yue replied: "I have met senior brother Hua Feng."
Ruan Ying was anxious, "Everyone is here, let's go in quickly."
A man on the side said: "Third Junior Sister, don't worry, let's buy tokens first." I think this is Second Senior Brother Ouyang Zhen.
Hua Feng was generous, "This time you are looking for the token for me, so I will pay for it."
There is a petite and beautiful woman beside her. She feels like Zhuang Qiaohui has transformed into a sixteen-year-old girl again, and her temperament is more like Zhuang Qiaohui than Tang Wan.
She said softly: "Senior brother, thank you for taking me into the secret realm."
Ruan Ying saw her tugging on her senior brother's sleeves and looking unhappy, so she stepped forward and pulled the woman away. Needless to say, this must be Wen Susu.
"Why don't you greet my cousin? You're so rude." Ruan Ying deliberately made trouble.
Wen Susu looked aggrieved and said, "Hello, Junior Sister Tang Yue, I just have the opportunity to talk to you now, you won't blame me."
"No wonder, senior sister is good."
"Hello, Junior Sister Tang Yue, I have just greeted you, don't be surprised."
"Hello, senior brother, no need to be polite."
Ruan Ying felt a little unhappy when she saw them greeting each other. Why didn't her cousin help her?
Hua Feng said: "We will all enter the secret realm together soon. It is good to get to know each other, but there is no need to be too polite."
A group of people queued up to buy tokens and exchanged information with each other.
But after a while, Ruan Ying revealed her identity as the granddaughter of Elder Shui, the legitimate daughter of the lord of Kunwu City, and the adopted daughter of Elder Duan. She was trying to suppress Wen Susu.
I heard that this junior sister only came from a farm family and had a low status. Ruan Ying usually used her status as a daughter of a noble family to suppress her. Today, she had a cousin with a status that she could not afford.
As expected, Wen Susu became jealous when Ruan Ying couldn't help but mock her more deliberately, "Junior sister Tang is indeed from a famous family, I can't compare with her."
Hua Feng spoke up to stop Ruan Ying's overt and covert discrimination against her. "We are all the same monks when we enter Wuji Mountain. Cultivation depends on individual talent and hard work, and has nothing to do with family background. Those with a high family background may not necessarily practice well, nor will those with a low family background.
If you get it, you can’t get the avenue."
"Junior sister Ruan, you can't use your family background to deceive others. This is the right thing to do and it is also beneficial to your own Taoism."
Ruan Ying glared at the junior sister who was hiding behind her senior brother, and said unwillingly: "Yes, junior sister needs to be taught."
