That day, the flying boat finally arrived at Liangcheng. There was a group of people standing at the city gate. They waved and greeted them when they saw them.
"Elder Sun, you are finally here. Once two more sects come, we can set off to the secret realm."
Sun Hong put away the flying boat, his expression softened a bit, "Haha, thank you for your hard work, City Lord Ding."
"It's not hard. These are the disciples who entered the secret realm this year. They are really young and promising. Is that the disciple of which elder?"
Ding Zhi looked at Yun Dandan, who was wearing a mask that only covered the upper half. This girl looked really young. Could she have come here with a special quota?
"Oh, she's a core disciple, a 'dark horse' among this year's roster. I'm surprised she's even in the top ten."
"Oh, that's really impressive. We've already arranged a place for your clan to stay this time. It's at the Youji Inn, not far from the City Lord's Mansion."
"Thank you very much."
"You're welcome. Let's go."
The next day, at the City Lord's Mansion Square.
Gathered here are the chosen ones of various sects who have entered the secret realm this time. They discuss other topics with their companions, such as whether they should form a team to explore the secret realm, or other topics.
Some people also had quarrels, but they did not dare to fight because this was the city lord's mansion and was guarded by someone.
"Look, the Xiaoyao Sect is here."
The crowd suddenly quieted down, and the winners of the Xiaoyao Sect competitions in recent times began to be looked at seriously.
"How much do you think they will get in the secret realm?"
"I estimate it's very few, but I can't be really sure, after all, they won first place several times."
"Wrong, this isn't a team competition. Individual strength is king. Look, there's a skinny female monk among them. I think they'll definitely be at the bottom."
"How about a little bet?" someone suggested.
"Okay, then let's talk about what to bet on..."
"Haha, Elder Sun is here. He must have spent quite a bit of spirit stones on this journey, after all, he went through several teleportation arrays."
"Fortunately, these few first-place finishes have enriched the sect's resources considerably, so we can still afford this amount of spirit stones..."
Before Sun Hong could finish his words, he was interrupted by a somewhat cold voice of an old man.
"Elder Sun, shouldn't you be more frugal? After all, we used to travel by flying boat, and most of the time we let the disciples control their flying swords to travel. I think the previous method is good, and it can also give them some training."
"Haha, isn't the journey too far this time? I was worried that the disciples would be tired. Besides, they just finished their competition before we came here, so we don't have enough time. Fortunately, the treasure house is full."
After hearing him emphasize the abundance of resources many times, everyone knew what he meant and shut up awkwardly.
Yun Dandan stood there and felt many eyes scanning over her, all wanting to check her cultivation level. Fortunately, she had the jade pendant, so some people looked at her and frowned before looking away.
But she is not the only one. Many disciples have treasures that can conceal their cultivation aura, so the situation after entering the secret realm is unknown.
At this time, Hu Yong came here, and his voice mixed with spiritual power spread out so that everyone could hear it.
"Everyone, welcome to Liangcheng. The rules for opening this secret realm are the same as before, but some people may not know, so I will explain it again."
"First of all, disciples of each sect are not allowed to harm other disciples, nor are they allowed to destroy other people's Dantian. Minor injuries or serious injuries that can be recovered through treatment are fine. You are allowed to snatch them among yourself..."
"Now everyone line up according to your sect so that you won't waste time waiting for the secret realm to open."
The crowd was in an uproar, but soon stood in line. At this time, a light gate appeared in the center of the square, which should be the so-called secret realm.
When Yun Dandan looked over, Hu Yong had just taken back a three-inch-long jade plate with complex patterns on it.
"Alright, let's get started. I'll open the entrance to the secret realm again after a month. Then you'll just need to crush the jade tokens the sect gave you before you came here."
After he finished speaking, the disciples in the front row stepped in one after another.
After the dizziness wore off, people were standing on solid ground. Yun glanced around calmly and could tell the cultivation level of those who were wearing concealing magic weapons. They were all in the Foundation Establishment Stage.
Because they had just come in, no one took any action. Instead, they remained vigilant and left the place.
Yun Dandan also chose a direction to go. Although they were fellow disciples from the same sect, it was better for them to separate when their own interests were at stake so that there would be no conflict.
Leaving the bare wasteland, there are mountains covered with trees, and there are many old spiritual plants on them.
"Jiji, Meiqiu, Little Fox, come out and help me dig spiritual plants."
She released the little guys from the contract space and started digging herself.
Jiji quickly dug out a plant and put it in the space ring hanging around his neck. There were many jade boxes in it. He could plant them in the secret realm after leaving it.
The other two were not to be outdone and soon dug up all the spiritual plants nearby.
…
"Yun Piaopiao, aren't you going a bit too far? We are from the same sect."
In a valley, more than a dozen thousand-year-old spiritual plants were growing vigorously. A man and a woman were confronting each other beside them, and it was the former who was speaking just now.
Yun Piaopiao snorted coldly, "This is a secret realm. Opportunities depend on the individual. Now they are all mine."
Ever since he was brought to the upper realm by the black spirit, the spiritual power here has made his cultivation progress rapidly. Now he has even obtained a place to enter the secret realm. Of course, the more resources the better.
Fortunately, it has never found an opportunity to terminate the contract with Gong Xueying, and it will not be bound by it and will do whatever it needs to do.
"What do you mean by yours? It depends on your ability. What's the point of just setting up a formation?"
"I'm just relying on my own abilities. The formation is mine."
"You..." The man choked, his eyes rolling slightly as he said, "You entered the sect at the Qi Refining Stage. The begging back then was completely different from what you do now. You even begged me, so shouldn't you repay my kindness now?"
When Yun Piaopiao heard what he said before, she suddenly felt murderous, but it was fleeting. Damn rules.
"Then let's just wait and see. It's impossible for me to open the formation. Besides, I'm now the direct disciple of the Great Elder. If you continue to pester me, you'd better be careful when we return to the sect."
"Threatening me, huh? Fine, fine, don't even think about asking me for help in this secret realm."
The man left with a gloomy face. It was more important to look for other opportunities. There was no need to lose the big picture for the small one.
Not long after he left, Yun Piaopiao was collecting spiritual herbs when she suddenly heard a sound of something breaking through the air. She looked up with a slightly shaken expression, and looking at the back, she seemed to see... her.
"Impossible! She shouldn't be able to come up so quickly. Now it takes ten years to become a new disciple. I must practice hard and strive to reach the Jindan stage, or even... the Yuanying stage, before she comes up."
