"Secret realms vary in size. Some can only accommodate three to five hundred people at a time, while others can hold thousands or even tens of thousands of people simultaneously. It all depends on the size of the secret realm itself. Moreover, some secret realms also have restrictions on cultivation levels, such as limiting entry to the Foundation Establishment or Golden Core stages," Qin Bao'er immediately explained to Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang really only had a superficial understanding of these things.

The little mirror wouldn't think of things she couldn't either. How could it possibly expect a spirit to have human thoughts and the ability to draw inferences from one instance to another? That would be asking too much of him.

How large is this secret realm? How many people can it accommodate at the same time?

[It's huge, capable of holding 10,000 people at once.]

Fang Ruotang breathed a sigh of relief.

If she spreads the news and causes her own sect's disciples to miss out on the entry list, then she'll really be grateful.

As for what cultivation level is required to enter, Little Mirror had already told her earlier that those in the Golden Core stage and Foundation Establishment stage can enter. Simply put, anyone below the Nascent Soul stage can be directly teleported in, but if someone reaches the Nascent Soul stage, they cannot enter.

"Why would I resort to such petty tricks in a large dungeon that can hold 10,000 people at the same time? You're overthinking it. Besides, believe it or not, it's up to you! I'm not the one who will suffer the loss."

Fang Ruotang pursed her lips, too lazy to say anything more.

The timing was just right.

At this moment, Canaan's master, the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect, was forcibly interrupted from his seclusion by the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect. Upon hearing about Canaan's situation, he came over without stopping for a moment.

"My disciple is with you?"

Fang Ruotang looked at the newcomer, wondering what kind of magic weapon he had used. She and he looked like ordinary people, without any cultivation at all.

"Yes! I picked up these while I was killing Master Wei Ren. At first, I thought they were just ordinary jade pendants. But after wearing them for a while, the souls in these jade pendants have awakened. That's right, I have a magic treasure that nourishes the soul. Otherwise, these souls would probably have been absorbed by the array in the jade pendants after a period of confusion."

Fang Ruotang didn't set any conditions beforehand, but after emphasizing her contributions, she generously gave the jade pendant to the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect.

He scanned the area with his divine sense and saw his eldest disciple.

"Canaan".

Canaan was stunned for a moment, then immediately looked up and called out, "Master?"

Given that Fang Ruotang possessed many magical treasures, how could she not take precautions after learning that these jade pendants contained souls?

Therefore, they could not hear Fang Ruotang speaking normally.

In other words, after they regained consciousness, they were trapped in this small space, looking at the great formation above them, unable to break it no matter what method they used.

But for some reason, his body was recovering day by day, and his cultivation was gradually increasing, so he was not discouraged.

"What happened to you?" The Supreme Elder did not seem anxious. Compared to the two sects who knew that their disciples were locked in the jade pendant, he was much calmer.

Firstly, his situation was special; secondly, Canaan's situation was much better than the previous two.

"It is because of my incompetence that I encountered Master Wei Ren of the Tian Gang Sect when I went out to train. I was caught off guard and fell into his trap, and was controlled by him."

Canaan was right.

As the most favored disciple of the Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect, he possessed countless magical treasures. If he hadn't been careless, he could have at least sent a distress message to the sect, if not escaped from Master Wei Ren.

The Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect glanced at Fang Ruotang.

Canaan's words coincided with her own.

Fang Ruotang met his gaze, ignoring what he was thinking, and reached out her hand directly.

“Give me spirit stones, and I won’t help you save people for nothing. Oh, by the way, Master Wei Ren has set up a great formation in this jade pendant. If it weren’t for my magic treasure to nourish your disciple’s soul, he would have been absorbed by the formation soon and become confused until he disappeared completely.”

The jade pendant was no longer in Fang Ruotang's purse; there was no barrier.

Canaan could hear the voices outside. After a moment of silence, he said, "Master, what the senior who spoke just now said is probably true. When Master Wei Ren extracted my soul and forcibly stuffed it into this jade pendant, I still had memories and kept trying to break the formation to get out. But unfortunately, I don't know much about formations, and my cultivation was gradually weakening. Eventually, I couldn't keep up. Until a few days ago, I suddenly regained consciousness."

The Supreme Elder immediately gave Fang Ruotang a storage ring.

Fang Ruotang glanced inside and saw that there were at least tens of thousands of high-grade spirit stones piled up like a mountain, which satisfied her.

“Your disciple is trapped in the jade. If you cannot rescue him, you are welcome to come to me at any time, but that will come at a different price.”

She wouldn't participate in a buy-one-get-one-free promotion.

The Supreme Elder of the Qingyun Sect is incredibly wealthy.

It's already quite kind of her not to overcharge, and it's only because the Supreme Elder isn't stingy; otherwise, she would definitely have demanded an exorbitant amount.

The Supreme Elder was focused on sword cultivation and didn't know much about formations. Without saying a word, he took out another storage ring.

Fang Ruotang took a look and saw that it contained twice as many spirit stones as the previous one.

"Not bad, you're a very honest person. I enjoy dealing with you. If I have the chance again, I'll save your disciple again and sell him to you."

Supreme Elder: ...

There's absolutely no need for that.

The only downside to the magic weapon that suppresses his cultivation is that he's like a real ordinary person; otherwise, he wouldn't have been in seclusion for so long, never leaving the mountain.

Isn't it because they've lost their cultivation and are afraid of being ambushed?

However, this also meant that he couldn't sense when his disciple was in trouble immediately; otherwise, he wouldn't have only found out now.

Fang Ruotang watched Zhuang Zongzhu break the formation from the side and openly learned it. Not only her, but all six men also learned it.

As she put the storage ring into her treasure bag, she casually pointed to Rong Xing, who was closest to her, signaling him to go up and break the formation.

The Grand Elder of the Qingyun Sect glanced at Rong Xing.

Just like him.

He didn't think much of it, assuming that this person, like him, had concealed their cultivation level with a magical artifact, and was probably at the same cultivation level as him, doing so to save their life.

Rong Xing stepped forward, took the jade pendant, and directly injected his spiritual power into it. In no time, he broke the array inside the jade pendant. He didn't return the jade pendant but simply put it away.

These jade pendants are quite valuable.

It would be a good reward to use it to tip disciples of the sect in the future.

The abundant spiritual energy within the jade pendant indicated that other cultivators had perished within it before them.

"Master!"

As soon as Canaan appeared, the Supreme Elder immediately held up an umbrella over his head.

This umbrella was no ordinary object. Canaan was instantly enveloped by the yin energy within it, his brows and eyes relaxed, and he felt much better.

Seeing this, Fang Ruotang's eyes lit up and a new idea came to her.
