Chapter 213 Entering the Secret Realm of Nanshan
The compensation given by Lingji City was quite good, consisting of two magical instruments of high quality, some spiritual stones and spiritual medicines, and a spiritual seed.
The most valuable of them is the spirit seed.
Lingji City is the only place in the world of cultivation today where demon spirits can be cultivated. Demon spirits are extremely beautiful and small in size. They are a special kind of spiritual pet.
Although its combat power is not strong, it is loved by many monks because of its rarity and difficulty in cultivating.
Lingji City earns a large amount of spirit stones every year by selling demon spirits to the outside world, and is considered a wealthy city that ranks high among the major cities.
In order to ensure the uniqueness of their own demon spirits, every demon spirit sold by Lingji City is very expensive, and those demon spirits can only live for a hundred years at most and are unable to produce offspring.
In this way, the demon spirit is completely controlled by Lingji City. Anyone who wants this thing has to go to Lingji City to buy it.
And that spirit seed is actually a demon spirit egg in disguise. As long as the spirit seed is planted in suitable soil, a flower will grow within a month, and then the demon spirit will be born.
The spirit is born from the flower, grows as the flower blooms, and dies as the flower withers.
It can be said that it is precisely because of the demon spirits' special fate of living together with flowers that they are held in the hands of Lingji City.
After seeing the spirit seed in Qinghua Lingxue's hand, the people who gathered around couldn't recognize it and let out a few sighs.
"Lingji City has really invested a lot this time. I heard that spirit seeds of this color are very valuable. We, the direct disciples, probably wouldn't be able to sell enough even if we saved them for decades." Pointing at the red spirit seed in Hua Lingxue's hand, an elder explained.
The brighter the color of the spirit seed, the more beautiful the spirit will be. Correspondingly, the more expensive the spirit will be.
The red one is the most expensive one, and above red is purple. However, purple cannot be bought with spirit stones. You need to have a certain status to get it.
Hua Lingxue was a little nervous when she heard this. She wanted to give the spirit seed to her master Feng Hongqiu, but was rejected: "I have no interest in this little thing. I'm afraid it will die. You should keep it for yourself."
Feng Hongqiu doesn't like to bother with these things. With so much free time, she would rather use it to dress herself up.
Since the master had said so, Hua Lingxue said nothing more and just kept the spirit seed.
It is said that demon spirits need fertile soil with spiritual power to grow. Now that they are about to enter the secret realm, it is really inconvenient to do this outside. Hua Lingxue carefully put away the spirit seeds and planned to do it again after they come out of the secret realm.
Fortunately, the demon spirits were quite durable, and their spirit seeds could remain active in extreme environments. So Hua Lingxue only needed to ensure that the spirit seeds were not damaged, and she could plant demon spirits at any time in the future.
Lingji City’s apology was so grand that it alarmed almost half of the people in Fuyun City.
Even those who were not aware of the matter knew that the young city lord of Lingji City had offended a female disciple of Qingxiao Sect and then went to apologize in person.
For a while, the reputation of the young city lord Lingzhu actually improved a lot.
Only the disciples of Qingxiao Sect who knew the truth almost vomited out of disgust when they heard the group of people praising Lingzhu.
Xie Liuyin had also heard words like "Young City Lord Lingzhu admitted his mistake and corrected it, and even humbled himself to apologize to an ordinary female disciple. He is really polite and decent."
She frowned as she listened, even though she knew in her heart that this was a ploy by Floating Cloud City to make their young city lord's reputation sound better.
But when he thought that this was done by stepping on the reputation earned by their Qingxiao Sect, Xie Liuyin was filled with displeasure.
The day before entering the Nanshan Secret Realm, Xie Liuyin found Hua Lingxue and reminded her: "That Lingzhu is not a good person. When he came to give us an apology, he unconsciously revealed a murderous aura."
"I guess, after we go to the secret realm this time, he will definitely find a way to target us, and maybe even want to kill us to wash away his shame."
Hua Lingxue was furious when she heard this: "What's there for him to clean up? I should be the one to clean up for being kidnapped by such a bastard!"
She now regretted very much that she couldn't be more powerful.
If her cultivation was higher, she wouldn't have been captured by Lingzhu, and thus involved in so many things.
"Don't worry about this. I am sure I can deal with him. It's not you who is wrong. It's all the fault of Lingzhu and his parents. If it weren't for Lingzhu's evil mind, his parents would have spoiled their child and this wouldn't have happened."
Seeing the self-loathing in Hua Lingxue, Xie Liuyin spoke to comfort her at the right time.
She didn't think there was anything wrong with Hua Lingxue. She practiced diligently in the sect and never slacked off.
There are very few people at Hua Lingxue's age who have the cultivation level she has now. It is not her fault that she cannot defeat Lingzhu's guards, and it is not her fault that she is targeted by Lingzhu because of her beauty.
Lingzhu did bad things, so naturally the retribution will fall on him.
After hearing Xie Liuyin's words, Hua Lingxue felt a little better.
"Anyway, you should be prepared in advance. Don't separate from our team after entering the secret realm. If you are accidentally left alone, remember to act cautiously and don't trust anyone easily." Xie Liuyin continued to remind.
There are many good things in the Nanshan Secret Realm, but that also means there are many dangers as well.
Xie Liuyin even agreed on a secret code for recognizing each other with Hua Lingxue and others. If they were separated halfway, they had to use the secret code when they met each other again, otherwise the other person would definitely not be themselves and they could never trust each other.
Hua Lingxue and Princess Luo memorized the secret code and said they would be careful.
With everyone's careful preparation, the secret realm of Nanshan was finally opened.
The secret realm of Nanshan is hidden in the mountain. On the day when the secret realm was opened, the entire Nanshan was split apart, and the entrance to the secret realm hidden in the mountain appeared in front of everyone.
The monks who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the secret realm teleportation array as quickly as possible, hoping to find the treasures in the secret realm faster than others.
Xie Liuyin and others were naturally no exception. Their Qingxiao Sect team was the third to enter.
The Beast King Clan was ahead of them and probably squeezed them out and took their place.
When the Qingxiao Sect disciples saw this, their dissatisfaction with the Beast King Sect increased even more.
"They did it on purpose. I just saw a female cultivator wearing a veil looking back at us provocatively." Hua Lingxue leaned close to Xie Liuyin's ear and complained to her in a low voice.
Xie Liuyin's eyes were dim: "I guess you don't know that the veiled female cultivator just now was Xie Mingzhu."
"What, it's her? That's not surprising!" Hua Lingxue and Xie Mingzhu had not been together for a long time. When they were in the secret realm, they didn't observe each other much, so they didn't recognize her at first glance.
Now that Xie Liuyin said this, she immediately realized that the features of the female cultivator were indeed very familiar.
"Humph, she came at the right time. We let her escape punishment so easily before. We must not let her off so easily this time!"
