The flying boat team finally reached their destination.

The location of the competition was set in the Misty Mountains where the secret medicine garden was located.

Jiang Li stood on the deck of the flying boat and looked down. The terrain of the mountains below had not changed much, but he could see a group of mountains below, which were gradually covered by a layer of white miasma. This was the origin of the name of this mountain range.

The Dachongshan area got its name because of the numerous dangerous peaks in the mountains, and it is shrouded in thick fog all year round.

It is extremely difficult to find a carefully hidden medicinal garden among such mountains.

"The secret realm of the medicine garden is actually hidden in such a place. It's really a miracle that those two casual cultivators could find it."

"It is said that this secret realm was the spiritual field of some immortal sect in the past. It is also covered by a large maze. The mist is gathered by the formation and cannot be dispersed. If your cultivation is not good enough, you may not be able to find the secret realm even if you pass through the mist head-on."

"Those two people are really lucky to be able to pass through the illusion array by accident."

"They were lucky, but their brains weren't very useful. They were discovered the first time they sold drugs. Now their good fortune turned into bad luck."

"Yes, now it is widely believed among the independent cultivators that they, as the first people to discover the secret realm, must have picked the most precious materials in the medicine garden and hidden them away. There are even rumors that those immortal medicines can easily allow people to break through the realm and ascend to the immortal path."

"I have also heard that many cultivators are eyeing those two independent cultivators, and there are even a few Jindan cultivators among them."

"That's really tragic."

The speed of the flying boat has slowed down a lot. On the deck, a group of well-informed disciples are chatting about what they have heard about this secret place.

As eyewitnesses of this major event that affected the world of immortal cultivation, the disciples naturally had great enthusiasm.

The sect's four flying boats gradually lowered their altitude, and amid the noise of the disciples, they slowly moved into the miasma.

Jiang Li rushed into a mist filled with thick moisture. His hair on his forehead was soon wet by dew, and his clothes also became damp and uncomfortable.

The flying boat was moving steadily in the fog along a special flight trajectory. This was a maze passage opened up by many senior monks after a lot of trials. It was said that this route could be sold at a very high price in the black market outside.

Jiang Li shook his hair and used his spiritual energy to isolate himself from the moisture from the outside world. The wetness on his body was quickly blown dry by the clean state.

This situation did not last long. After a few minutes, the vast expanse of white ahead suddenly became clear.

In the center of the mountains, there was a vast flat plain. Jiang Li could faintly smell the aroma of herbs. In front of him was the secret medicine garden.

Taking a deep breath, Jiang Li couldn't help but be surprised. The concentration of spiritual energy here was two to three times higher than that of the outside world.

It seems that in addition to the maze, there is probably a large spirit gathering formation here, or perhaps there is an unmined spirit stone vein buried beneath the land in this area.

With such a concentration of spiritual energy, even a mortal living here can prolong their life and be free from illness and pain. For Qigong practitioners, it is an excellent place for cultivation.

If this place had not been made public, with just a little renovation, it would have become the prototype of a large sect's headquarters.

Countless people have had fantasies about this. If they were the first to discover this secret realm, they would surely be able to soar to the sky, dominate the world, and so on.

Even Jiang Li, thinking about the countless wealth that could even change the entire Dachongshan cultivation world, couldn't help but be fascinated.

Even if I sell him as a spiritual spring to earn spiritual stones, it will take many years to make up for it! . . .

Looking down, at the ground entrance to the secret realm, a large number of well-arranged houses have been built.

The Medicine Garden Secret Realm was blocked by many sects in Dachong Mountain. A large number of cultivators were unable to enter, but were reluctant to leave. So they stopped at the entrance of the secret realm and spontaneously formed a market to exchange what they had.

Not to mention that the concentration of spiritual energy here is much higher than that of the outside world, which can greatly accelerate cultivation.

As long as we wait for a while, until the competition is over and the development charter and distribution shares of the secret realm are determined, the outflow of large quantities of spiritual medicines is an inevitable event.

At that time, this place will naturally become the first-hand market for spiritual medicine transactions. Just by simply reselling them, they can make a fortune.

So in the beginning, there were only small markets here, but after a period of fermentation, more and more independent cultivators and forces gathered here, and the small markets expanded and connected together, forming the prototype of a city.

As long as the secret realm here continues to exist, this immortal cultivation city will inevitably become more prosperous and powerful. It is not impossible for it to surpass places like the City That Never Sleeps in time and become a true holy land for cultivators.

At that time, Ma Donggui also suggested that Jiang Li open a store here, but he decisively refused. There was no one living within a thousand miles of this place, so where would the souls come from to buy it for him?

Although spiritual stones and spiritual medicines are good, Jiang Li’s needs are limited. Those ghosts that others look down upon are more attractive to him.

The four flying boats of Sutra Repository Valley were so conspicuous in the sky that they were immediately spotted by the monks below as soon as they emerged from the fog. Not long after, several streams of light rose into the air and flew to the front of the flying boat team.

"Greetings to the three elders. I, Chu Yunxuan, was impolite for not coming to greet you. I hope the three elders will forgive me."

The leader dispersed the spiritual light on his body and revealed his figure and face. The next moment, the screams of the female disciples on the flying boat came one after another, which made Jiang Li's hardened skin break out.

This senior brother's charm is really hard to find. Fortunately, I am not in the same age group as him.

Otherwise, even if Jiang Li was ten times stronger than him, his muscles would hardly compare to his other's elegance and grace in the eyes of the female cultivators.

The eldest senior brother was as decent as ever. In fact, with his status, he didn't need to say these words, but he still kept a low profile.

The three elders smiled and stepped forward to take over matters. They were also very enthusiastic about this candidate for the headmaster. After all, if Wushe Zhenren retired one day, everyone would call him the headmaster.

There shouldn't be too many unexpected things happening in the secret realm, otherwise the sect would have known about it a long time ago with just a communication spirit stone. So the so-called handover was just a routine matter.

After they finished their conversation, they came together to the fifteen contestants to give them encouragement and greetings as senior brothers.

The other disciples had been in the inner sect for a long time and had seen this person before. That was Jiang Li. Since he joined the inner sect, this famous person had been traveling outside, and later he came directly to the secret realm to guard, so he had never seen him before.

This was also the first time that Jiang Li saw the sect's eldest senior brother who was praised to the sky by everyone.

"You must be Junior Brother Jiang Li, right? This is the first time we meet. I have heard that you inherited Elder He's iron fists. Now I see that what he said is true."

"My name is Chu Yunxuan, just call me Senior Brother. I will have to rely a lot on Junior Brother Jiang Li for this martial arts competition."

Since it was the first time they met, Chu Yunxuan came up to Jiang Li and said hello. However, after hearing all these nice words, Jiang Li didn't know how to respond.

"Big Brother, you are really too kind. I still have a lot to learn, but my cultivation is shallow. I hope you will take care of me in the future."

In desperation, Jiang Li could only respond with praise and compliment the other party as well.

"Look, there's another flying boat coming behind us!"

At this time, a disciple shouted from behind.

Everyone turned around to look.

In the thick fog, a vague outline became clearer and clearer. It was a flying boat breaking through the fog and heading towards us.

The other party had obviously noticed them, and slowed down to avoid a collision. The two sides gradually got closer, which allowed Jiang Li to barely see the other party clearly.

It was a more slender and smooth flying boat. It seemed that when it was first designed and built, not much consideration was given to the issue of transportation volume. Instead, the focus was on performance and aesthetics.

Compared in this way, it seems to be more advanced than the flying boat in the Sutra Valley.

Although he couldn't see the flag clearly, Jiang Li could already confirm the other party's identity. It was the team from Shushan Five Elements Peak.

Because the sword cultivator's clone was now up there, leaning on the railing and looking at Jiang Li.

Shushan Five Elements Peak, the number one sect in the Dazhong Mountains, naturally cannot have only one flying boat. In fact, they can dispatch at least two flying boats from each of their main peaks.

However, the population is limited. If each main peak sends out a flying boat, then the participating disciples will probably have to drive the boat themselves, which is obviously not appropriate.

They were originally elites, and although they were wealthy and powerful, they did not have many disciples.

A lot of tedious tasks were all done by subordinate sects. The real disciples of the Five Peaks were basically full-time sword cultivators who did not do any work. Only a few would dabble in some secondary professions of cultivating immortals because of their hobbies.

When have they ever lacked ordinary spiritual medicines? It was never. It was only the few precious treasures in the secret realm that could arouse their interest.

The main purpose of participating in this martial arts competition is to show off muscles and ensure their position as the number one sect in Dachongshan.

As the flying boats of both sides approached each other, several sword lights quickly rose from the opposite side and landed on the deck on this side.

As mentioned before, due to the friendly and harmonious environment of the sect, the disciples of Shushan Five Elements Peak are generally upright and sunny and very easy to get along with.

In addition, in the world of immortal cultivation in Dachongshan, there are not many fools who would deliberately make things difficult for them. Instead, there are more people who deliberately try to make friends with them in various ways.

Therefore, in the process of going down the mountain to gain experience, Shushan disciples can easily make a lot of friends, and naturally there are many of them in the Sutra Valley.

Jiang Li thought about it and asked the sword cultivator's clone to transform into a sword light and fly over to express his gratitude to Chu Yunxuan.

After some pleasantries, several spaceships, having made their presence felt in the air, descended to the temporary airport for a temporary stop.

This work is organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~

With three days left before the Dachongshan monk competition, they all arrived at the sect’s headquarters and settled down. The fifteen disciples needed to seize every minute and every second to improve themselves and increase their chances of winning even a little bit.

Jiang Li also needs to complete the transmission of scriptures as soon as possible and transform the three inheritances into his own combat power.

. . . .

How could anyone with a passion for immortal cultivation easily let go of such a grand event? After the news spread, waves of cultivators came from all directions and gathered in this foggy mountain area, causing the prototype of the city to expand several times in an instant.

Moreover, due to certain considerations, the final conclusion reached by many sects and forces was that independent cultivators who met the requirements would also be allowed to participate in the competition.

But even if they rank in the top 100, they will not win any share for any force.

However, as compensation, in addition to receiving high-level spiritual medicines produced in the medicine garden as rewards, they can also choose to join any sect except the Shushan Five Elements Peak.

And even if they don't win, as long as they perform well enough in the competition, there will still be many sects extending olive branches to them.

This is a good opportunity for the sect to recruit new and outstanding disciples from outside.

For many casual cultivators who have been practicing hard, this is also a rare opportunity to "go ashore". Therefore, the casual cultivators are also full of enthusiasm for this competition.

In this bustling scene, a group of people in black robes penetrated the mist and walked out. Without even raising their heads, they went straight into the bustling market.

They were very low-key and walked very fast, making many turns in the complex streets. While trying to avoid being followed, they seemed to have a clear purpose.

This group of black-robed men left the downtown area and walked to the edge of the gathering place. The man in the lead looked around and then seemed to have discovered some secret code, so he pushed the door and walked into a courtyard.

This courtyard looked ordinary, just like the other houses nearby, and was newly built not long ago. But if a cultivator who was proficient in formation runes came to inspect it carefully, he would find that the formation in this courtyard was of a very high grade.

Being able to construct a formation of this level silently in such a short time, the person behind it is definitely no ordinary person.

The people in the inner room of the courtyard sensed the visitor through the fluctuations of the formation, and immediately opened the door. A short and fat figure walked out and bowed directly to the men in black robes.

"Greetings from the top. I am honored."

"In order to conceal our presence before the competition begins, I have to ask you to stay here temporarily. I am extremely sorry."

The short and fat monk was extremely respectful and let the men in black robes into the house.

Several people entered the room, and after the formations were activated, they took off their hoods.

Under the black robes were a middle-aged woman and four young monks.

The hood and the black robe seemed to have the ability to conceal the aura, and the effect was quite good.

When wearing the hood, they were almost the same as ordinary people. But when the hood was removed, several domineering and fierce auras instantly emerged, especially the one in the lead, whose cultivation was so profound that the fat on the short and fat monk's body trembled a few times.

However, these few men in black robes were not any wanted demon cultivators. Instead, their faces were somewhat unfamiliar. In the Dachongshan area, there seemed to be no such people, whether they were independent cultivators or cultivators from sects.

"Where is your Pavilion Master?"

The middle-aged female cultivator in the lead asked, her tone full of arrogance.

Several other young monks were also looking at everything in the room, seeming to be somewhat disdainful of everything.

"The Pavilion Master has some important matters to attend to at the moment. He will certainly arrive tonight at midnight to welcome the envoys. Please be patient for now. It would be my fault if I fail to entertain you well."

The short and fat monk never straightened his back and kept confessing his guilt to several people.

He then went on to explain the general rules of the martial arts competition and the powerful opponents that one might encounter in the competition.

But the five opponents all had disdain on their faces and didn't pay any attention to it at all, as if this competition was a piece of cake for them.

After a long time, the short and fat monk also noticed the contempt of the five people opposite him. After finishing his work, he respectfully took his leave.

After walking out of the house, he couldn't help but sigh.

"I hope the messenger sent by the headquarters is really that strong..."

The short and fat monk turned around, revealing an equally fat and broad face.

If Jiang Li were here, he would find that he also knew this sneaky fat man.

This is none other than Fu Zhong, the steward of Shengxian Pavilion! You should know that the Shengxian Pavilion, which is well known to the cultivators in the Dachong Mountain cultivation world, should actually be called the "Shengxian Pavilion Dachong Mountain Branch".

This matter is actually not a secret. Fu Zhong introduced it to Jiang Li and others when they first stepped into Shengxian Pavilion.

But for most people, the Dachongshan branch of Shengxian Pavilion is equal to Shengxian Pavilion. There is no difference to them, so they subconsciously ignore it.

But since it is a branch, it means there is a headquarters.

Normally, due to the need to cross long distances, there is little communication and the branch is basically autonomous. As long as the Pavilion Master goes back to report on his work every few years, everything will be peaceful and it will not have any impact on other sects in Dachongshan.

But at this time, the secret realm of the medicine garden came into being, and the method of dividing the shares through fighting was decided.

It is naturally impossible for the monks of Shengxian Pavilion, whose disciples' fighting ability is not outstanding, to give up this piece of cake.

So the idea came about to ask for help from the headquarters.

In fact, it is not just the Shengxian Pavilion that is asking for external assistance. Many sects, big or small, have done this. In the face of huge profits, all kinds of secret transactions emerge in an endless stream.

However, whether inviting foreign aid to go outside Dachongshan is in compliance with the rules is still unclear.

After all, no one had thought of this at the time, so there was no restriction on specifically designating foreign aid. The only requirement was that the participating forces must be local forces in Dachongshan.

However, the people in Shengxian Pavilion are very clear that even if what they are doing is not against the rules now, if they reveal the information about foreign aid too early and cause dissatisfaction from other sects, it is very likely that a clause will be added or modified the next day, blocking their way directly.

Therefore, in order to ensure the smooth entry of foreign aid, they must currently keep a low profile.
