"What dangers might exist within the sect's forbidden area? Can't the elders and grand elders eliminate them?"

The sect's introduction mentions forbidden areas, but it's described very vaguely. It's basically a training ground for disciples, and they are not allowed to approach it under normal circumstances; otherwise, they will be punished.

"After I heard the news, I also inquired about it. This forbidden area is divided into three major secret areas, four minor secret areas, and the remaining three are ordinary secret areas."

Before anyone could ask further questions, he continued, "I haven't found out the specifics of this forbidden area yet. I only know that there are many secrets in the Qingyun Mountains, such as the ruins of ancient sects, the blessed lands of ancient immortals, mysterious underground palaces, and so on. The most common forbidden areas are related to spiritual herbs, ores, and rare treasures. Because these spiritual things need to be nurtured, it is stipulated that they can only be entered once every few decades."

Ye Sichao's knowledge was limited, so he only touched on the topic briefly.

A-Jiang was thinking about what was recorded in the sect's introduction. The forbidden areas had fixed opening times, and the disciples who entered had different requirements. She had always thought they were opened separately, but she didn't expect that five would be opened this time, which was beyond her imagination.

After that, the news was more ordinary. Finally, the senior brother said, "The news about the forbidden area will probably spread in the future. Although we don't know what the requirements are for entering the forbidden area, the best preparation is to work hard to improve our skills. Everyone should not slack off in their daily lives."

Everyone expressed their agreement, and then dispersed.

On her way back, A-Jiang reflected on the events of the past year: the four-tailed foxes fighting in Deer Horn Manor, the appearance of the Demon King of Qingqiu, the red fox howling at the moon in Flower Dynasty Kingdom, and Senior Brother Feng's reminder. She felt that these events connected, vaguely pointing to a major event, perhaps the opening of the forbidden area this time was for this very reason.

"Improving your own capabilities is the best preparation, so you'll have confidence no matter what happens in the future."

Back home, as usual, I went to see the carp king. Ajahn managed to bring it fresh water, and it was overjoyed.

"Magikarp, do you know any other spells?"

Ajahn sat on the bluestone slab and chatted with the carp king.

Although those three water jets from last time were like tap water jets, A-Jiang reluctantly included them.

Magikarp nodded.

Ah Jiang said happily, "Really? You'll show me everything."

Then Magikarp happily spun around twice, opened its mouth, and spat out a lot of white mist. In a short while, the pond was shrouded in white mist. Fortunately, it was night, and no one around noticed.

Ah Jiang exclaimed, "What a wonderful portable humidifier!"

Then Magikarp spun around twice and opened its mouth to blow out a bubble. The bubble grew bigger and bigger until it enveloped Ajahn.

Ah Jiang felt a strange sensation inside; the air seemed fresher than outside and filled with a watery essence. She tried walking around and found her body very light. Looking at the pond, she carefully stepped one foot in, and unexpectedly, the bubble completely protected her from the water.

"Wow, this is amazing!" Ah Jiang exclaimed excitedly.

Magikarp was also very happy and jumped around joyfully several times. After a while, the bubble disappeared. It lasted for about fifteen minutes. During this time, Magikarp did not use any other spells. It should only have these three.

A-Jiang asked curiously, "Did you know how to do this before?"

Magikarp shook its head.

"You only recently learned this? You're really amazing! It seems the Azure Lotus Sect is indeed a great place."

Judging by the time, they have been at the Azure Lotus Sect for more than a month. The Carp King was able to advance to the second rank in the mortal world, so it is understandable that it would learn a few spells here. They wondered when it would be able to speak.

Looking at the lotus flowers with buds already forming by the pond, Ah Jiang sighed inwardly, even the lotus flowers were growing faster than elsewhere.

I went to the animal park during the day as usual.

Half a month later, Senior Brother Feng was taking care of a fourth-tier iron-eating beast. This kind of animal didn't have many materials on it, was lazy every day, and ate a lot. No one knew what it was for.

Looking at the animal, which was three times the size of a normal panda, Ah Jiang thought to herself: It was much fiercer than she had imagined. Could it really be used as a mount?

Just then, a handyman disciple ran over and said, "Senior Brother Feng, go and check on those three silver foxes."

A-Jiang followed along. Four or five servant disciples had already gathered outside the silver fox's cage. These disciples were all under the management of Senior Brother Feng.

"Stop crowding around here and go do your own thing."

Senior Brother Feng told them to leave, and the other disciples dispersed.

The male disciple said anxiously, "For some reason, these silver foxes are eating and drinking less and less. Senior brother, look at them, they are getting weaker and weaker."

A-Jiang also looked over and, sure enough, saw that the little fox's eyes had dimmed.
