He had been watching and snatching them but only managed to grab thirty-eight of them. The two of them were hiding in the dark. If they didn't move, it would be fine. But once they moved, their tracks would be easily exposed. However, he and several other Nascent Soul cultivators had never noticed them, which meant that either their strength was much greater than theirs, or they were at a considerable distance.
He is more inclined to the latter possibility.
If it was the former, their cultivation level was far beyond the Nascent Soul stage... He couldn't imagine why they had to hide in the dark. Wouldn't it be better to just show up and suppress them with strength?
As for the latter, there is no time to grab it, okay?
Xue Huan smiled: "You may not believe this, but these Huangquan Orders fell into my hands on their own."
Chang Ming: “…”
He imagined the scene: he and the others were struggling to get the Yellow Spring Order, while these two were leisurely sitting on the spirit boat, and the Yellow Spring Order flew over by itself...
Don't ask, the answer is lemon.
After returning to Narcissus Pavilion, Changming immediately began to make various preparations for entering the Yellow Springs Secret Realm three days later.
——After the Yellow Spring Order comes out, the Yellow Spring Secret Realm will be opened three days later. This is an unchanging rule for hundreds of years.
Only those holding the Yellow Spring Order can enter the secret realm through the cave entrance. Otherwise, after jumping in, you will not know where you will land and you may fall to your death.
The first preparation is to select people who will enter the secret realm.
Although anyone below the Nascent Soul stage can enter, it is the first time for Chang Ming to enter the Yellow Spring Secret Realm, a secret realm that is said to be very dangerous. He does not want his men to die, so he prefers to choose those with higher strength and more serious and steady temperament to enter.
As for those who are weaker and more reckless, it is better not to go in and die.
Once they have gained experience this time, it won’t be too late for the old ones to lead the new ones in later.
Of course, the premise is voluntary. If you don’t want to go in, Changming will not force you.
No one in Narcissus Pavilion had any objection to his decision.
After all, their Narcissus Pavilion is no longer what it used to be. Martial arts techniques, elixirs, talismans and so on can be bought with money. If you don't have money, you can just save up and get them. The discounts for internal staff are beyond the imagination of outsiders. Those things that they dared not even think about before can now be obtained by just trying hard. There is really no need to fight for some illusory opportunities.
Some people are more Buddhist, while others like adventure and believe that wealth and honor can be achieved through risk. When Changming asked who wanted to go, many hands were raised.
Chang Ming: "There are a total of fifty spots to go to the Yellow Springs Secret Realm. Master Zhao takes one, leaving forty-nine. But I see there are more than forty-nine people who want to go, so let's draw lots. It's fair and just."
After the draw, some people are happy and some are disappointed.
Qing Yuan recorded the people who had drawn the spots.
Chang Ming: "Go back and prepare well in the next three days. Gather here at noon three days from now. Okay, let's disperse."
The Narcissus Pavilion used a simple and crude method of drawing lots to select the candidates to go to the secret realm, while the other several families had different methods.
The Tianyi Sect is more simple and brutal. It directly lets everyone in the sect engage in a melee. The fifty-one people who remain in the battle circle at the end will get a spot.
Why fifty-one people? This is because Wu Houhong grabbed fifty-one Huangquan Orders.
In the Hehuan Sect, Lin Meir distributed the forty-three Yellow Spring Orders she had snatched to several of her disciples, letting them decide for themselves which disciples they would like to bring in.
As for how they selected her, whether based on strength or beauty, that was none of her concern.
In Fuqiu Sect, Tong Xuan obtained forty-one Yellow Spring Orders and distributed them directly to the descendants of the direct lineage. The other descendants of the side branches had no share.
Xiao Shengtian and Wei Ziping together snatched a total of 124 Yellow Spring Orders, but these 124 orders were divided among three families: Lingyao Academy, the Xiao family, and the Wei family.
If distributed equally, each family would only get about 40 pieces.
In order to be fair, Xiao Shengtian and Wei Ziping did not distribute the 124 Yellow Spring Orders, but put them all into the seventh floor of the Tower of Babel, allowing people from the academy, the Xiao family, and the Wei family who were interested in entering the Yellow Spring Secret Realm to go in and draw the lottery.
Yes, it’s a lottery. There is a super large turntable on the seventh floor of the Tower of Babel, which is specially used for lottery.
There are a total of 380 interested parties, and each of them has one chance to spin the wheel. When the wheel stops, the pointer will point to a certain grid.
The content will be displayed on the grid, some are "Huangquan Order", some are "Thank you for your patronage", and some are "Come again", etc.
Xue Huan did not participate. After all, she had already secured a place at Narcissus Pavilion and did not need to compete with those 379 people.
While several families here were busy selecting vacancies, the Wang and Li families on the other side were in a gloomy mood.
Because the ancestors of their two families have never returned since they went to attend the Nascent Soul gathering!
That would be fine, but the key point is that Tong Xuan, the ancestor of Fuqiu Sect who acted with the two ancestors, was safe and sound!
Patriarch Wang and Patriarch Li could no longer sit still, so they went to Fuqiu Sect together to ask to see Tong Xuan.
Tong Xuan met with the two men. He knew what they wanted to know and said with a sad face, "Brother Wang and Brother Li have already... Alas!"
The last heavy sigh was very spiritual. When the heads of the Wang and Li families heard it, their hearts skipped a beat and they had a bad premonition.
Patriarch Wang was impatient and asked, "Master Tong, what's going on? Please tell us!"
Although Patriarch Li didn't ask the question, his expression was just as anxious and uneasy.
If his guess was true... he felt suffocated at the thought of that possibility.
Tong Xuan then told the story of how he, Wang Sui and Li Yanyang teamed up to kill Chang Ming that day.
When they heard that their ancestor had indeed died at the hands of Narcissus Pavilion, they understood how the Zhou family head felt not long ago, which was like the sky had fallen!
The ground beneath my feet was sinking and the scenery around me was spinning.
In reality, they themselves were dizzy and collapsed.
Seeing the two like this, Tong Xuan's face was filled with grief, and he hammered the armrest of his chair fiercely. "It's a pity that I was not strong enough to rescue Brother Wang and Brother Li from the people of Narcissus Pavilion. If you want to blame someone, blame Chang Ming for hiding too well. He actually has two subordinates with strength no less than that of the Nascent Soul Stage! Alas, the dead cannot be resurrected. You... accept my condolences."
He said his condolences, but there was a calculating gleam in his eyes.
Now that the Wang and Li families no longer have their Nascent Soul Patriarch in charge, their strength must be much weaker than before. If they still want to keep their current family business, they have no choice but to seek a powerful backer. And at the moment, is there anyone more suitable backer than him?
From this perspective, Wang Sui and Li Yanyang died quite well.
