Thinking back carefully, Ling Yunpo had to admit that he had indeed made the mistake of being careless.

I originally thought that fighting was not allowed in the Golden Palace Secret Realm, so even if the elixir root in my belly was still growing and I couldn't fight, I could still pretend to be Ling Yunpo without making any mistakes. But I didn't expect that Senior Sister An could actually attack this Miao Dan Zhenren...

Who could have thought of this in advance? We agreed not to use force, and then suddenly an "inhuman demon" made an exception. Was he deliberately plotting against me?

After thinking it over, Ling Yunpo felt that it was not a problem of his carelessness, but a problem of historical uniqueness.

Because when he was Qiu Changtian in the past, he learned that Senior Sister An was arrested by Shushan on suspicion of "murdering a fellow disciple", so in order to ensure the uniqueness of this history, Tiandao forcibly blinded his own reason and quietly created an unimaginable blind spot in his originally meticulous and seamless logical thinking.

Tiandao, you are so despicable!

Fortunately, he finally made amends. Now that he has convinced Master Jinghua, at least the murderer of Master Miaodan has been identified.

The next step is to return to Shushan and capture Senior Sister An for investigation. With the testimony of Master Jinghua, she may not be convicted in the end.

Now Senior Sister An has gone to find True Lord Zhaoling to get the golden throne. After getting it, she will be sent to the attic immediately, so I just need to get another position.

"Brother Jinghua." Ling Yunpo bowed and saluted, "We have been in the secret realm for more than a day. Brother, have you found any clues to the Golden Palace?"

Upon hearing this, Master Jinghua smiled bitterly:

"I did meet a Purple Yuan Zhenjun yesterday. Unfortunately, I was not well-educated and failed to pass her test."

"Senior Brother Jinghua has just arrived and has not yet found his way. I think he will be able to succeed smoothly in the future." Ling Yunpo encouraged him for a while, and then asked casually, "Has anyone passed her test?"

"No." Master Jinghua shook his head. "That test is really weird. Let me tell you..."

Ling Yunpo took note of it secretly, and then asked about the location of True Lord Zi Yuan, and then quickly rushed over.

True Lord Liandu and True Lord Jiuhua lived in a palace, True Lord Zhaoling lived in a villa, and True Lord Ziyuan lived in a tower on the edge of the palace city.

Ling Yunpo came to the foot of the tower, climbed up the stairs, and climbed to the top floor, where he saw a heroic woman in military uniform standing with her hands behind her back, with several maids standing on both sides.

There were several cultivators sitting below, he quickly glanced at them and recognized one was Tianlan Zhenren from Penglai, one was Shiyuan Zhenren from Shushan, one was an unfamiliar Shura Dao monk, and the other one... Shit, it was actually Guo Jin?

When did my good disciple actually form a pill? And was he brought to the secret realm by Wei Dongliu?

But if you calculate carefully, this disciple has been practicing Taoism for seventy or eighty years, and he has the care and support of Witch Jiang. It is just right for him to form a fourth-grade golden elixir at this time... If he can find four or five Purple Mansion Secret Realms and accumulate two hundred years of Huafu cultivation in advance, it is not impossible for him to form a third-grade golden elixir.

He had wasted so much time at the Huafu stage in the past just to accumulate eight hundred years of cultivation and form the unprecedented first-grade golden elixir.

If it were other ordinary cultivators, who do not have too high requirements for the quality of the golden elixir, it would be normal for them to form the elixir within seventy or eighty years.

"My dear, please wait here for a while." The heroic woman looked at Ling Yunpo and said with a smile, "When one more person comes, we will have six people, and the test will begin immediately."

Ling Yunpo pretended that he didn't know anyone and sat down in a random seat.

After waiting for a while, I suddenly heard a commotion below, and four Yin Guidao monks rushed up.

If the leader is not Demon Bone Master, who else could it be?

Ling Yunpo was secretly astonished, but after careful calculation, he found that Demon Bone Master was currently being tested by Jiuhua Master and was eliminated by Qiu Changtian with his great wisdom, so it was normal for him to find this place.

I saw Demon Bone Master looking around and said with a smile:

"May I ask, Master Zhenjun, does the number of people who can take part in the test have to be six? Or can it be more?"

"Only six people." The heroic woman said with a smile.

"Okay." Demon Bone Master rolled his eyes and said to the two demon monks on the scene, "Master Ming Ling, King Fa Kong Ming, I want to bring people to participate in this trial. I wonder if you two can give up your qualifications?"

Ling Yunpo's eyes widened as he heard the monk say indifferently:

"I can give in, but why?"

"How about this?" Master Mo Gu threw out two storage bags.

The foreign monk took the storage bag, scanned it with his spiritual sense, and immediately revealed a satisfied smile, raised one palm and said:

"Amitabha, I am a Buddhist monk and do not want to fight with others. I will give this to you, my fellow Taoist."

After saying that, he hurried away carrying the storage bag.

Guo Jin caught the bag, threw it back to Master Mogu without even looking at it, and said calmly:

"I am here to take the golden throne at the order of my master, so I must go all out. I dare not accept the gift from my fellow Taoist."

Demon Bone Master looked at him for a long time, his face darkened, and he sneered:

"Well, Junior Brother Ming Ling has a noble character. I admire him very much."

"Lianshan, come with me to participate in the trial. The rest of you, please retreat for now and stay outside the tower!"

The two men retreated without saying a word.

So there were only two real people left in the tower, Mogu and Lianshan, which just made up the number of six.

"Since there are already six of us, let's begin the test." The heroic woman glanced around and then said with a smile, "My Taoist name is 'Zi Yuan', so you can call me Master Zi Yuan."

"A day has passed. I think everyone is familiar with the rules of this secret realm."

"The test here is also very simple: I like to listen to various ancient secrets. If anyone among you can tell me a secret that I have never heard before, then this test will be considered passed."

When everyone heard this, they looked at each other in surprise.

Ancient secrets? What does that mean?

"Excuse me, what counts as an ancient secret?" asked Tian Lan Zhenren in a deep voice.

"If it involves major events in the world of cultivation and happened in the past, it is considered an ancient secret." True Lord Zi Yuan said with a smile, "If you told me that your junior fellow apprentice hunted a strange beast in the mountains a few days ago, this would not be considered a secret."

Then everyone suddenly realized: the secret that Ziyuan Zhenjun was talking about was the kind of "news" that was well-known enough at the time and still has value today.

Demon Bone Master immediately spoke out:

"I have a secret here that I want to tell Master Ziyuan."

He had already thought it through: since it was a secret, the person who spoke first would definitely have the greatest advantage.

If the first secret is something that Master Ziyuan has never heard of, then the first person to come out will win directly. Even if the people who come after him also have this kind of secret, they will no longer have a chance of winning - so they must take the initiative!

"Please speak." True Lord Ziyuan said with a smile.

"Have you ever heard of the Skeleton Cave in the White Bone Mountain?" Demon Bone Master said with a smile, "What I want to talk about is the origin of the White Bone Mountain..."

"Oh? I know a little about the origin of this White Bone Mountain." True Lord Zi Yuan smiled faintly, "The White Bone Mountain is located in the Beimang Mountain, north of Luoyang. Because of its excellent feng shui, the people of Heluo often bury their graves near this mountain."

"At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, famine was widespread and countless people died. Many people abandoned the bodies of their dead parents, wives, and children in the mountain, where they were eaten by wild dogs, wild beasts, and starving people, leaving bones all over the ground and exposed in the wilderness. Hence, the mountain got the name White Bone Mountain."

Demon Bone Master was stunned, and then said unwillingly:

"And the Skull Cave..."

"The origin of the Skull Cave is that it is the place where the Jiejiao's Shiji Niangniang attained enlightenment." Ziyuan Zhenjun said leisurely, "Shiji was originally a stubborn stone that became a spirit. After she gained intelligence, she called the cave where she was born the Skull Cave."

So Master Mo Gu was completely speechless. Ling Yunpo sat upright beside him, looking straight ahead, sighing quietly in his heart.

It is just as Master Jinghua said, Master Ziyuan knows everything from astronomy to geography, and is almost omniscient.

No matter what ancient secrets you tell, the other party can tell it almost exactly, and even tell more than you!
