But there's one thing he can't guarantee.
"You once took possession of this secret realm, but now that it has given birth to a spirit, controlling it will probably take some effort."
Lin Jiujiu sensed that it had a solution when she heard it say that.
"How long will it take?"
Elder Wu previously mentioned that the secret realm would open in about three days, and the opening time would only be half an hour. During that half hour, all cultivators below the Foundation Establishment stage could enter.
However, after half an hour, the entrance will automatically close, and the secret realm will vanish into the void.
The secret realm will reopen a month later, at which point it will vomit up everyone inside.
However, no one can say for sure where it will land when it comes out.
It could be a secret forest, the heartland of a sect, an island, or some other place.
It's completely random; in short, there's too much uncertainty.
This is also why these sects would enter in groups.
After all, if things go wrong, they might be sent to some dangerous place when they come out, and with their cultivation levels below Foundation Establishment, they might die on the spot.
If you form a team in the form of a sect, as long as you don't separate inside, you will most likely come out in the same place.
When Lin Jiujiu asked him how long it would take, Xiaobai tilted his head and thought for a moment before answering.
"About half a cup of tea, after all, things that have gained sentience are not easy to control."
Upon hearing Xiao Bai's words, Lin Jiujiu merely raised an eyebrow slightly, while Baili Chenyuan nearly spat out the tea he had just drunk.
Tantai Yueming's reaction was even more obvious; she was immediately choked.
If someone can't help but think that even half a cup of tea takes a lot of effort, does this newbie not have a good grasp of the concept of time?
But this time he was smarter and only complained in his heart.
Knowing that Xiaobai could handle it, Lin Jiujiu was naturally happy to have some free time.
Tantai Yueming, however, stared straight at her.
Lin Jiujiu was getting impatient with his gaze and said irritably.
"Just say what you have to say."
Seeing that she was throwing a tantrum, Tantai Yueming was not angry, but instead smiled apologetically.
"Jiu Jiu, can I also go into the secret realm to take a look?"
"I've advanced too quickly these past few years; I haven't even entered the Azure Orchid Secret Realm yet."
Originally, he wasn't interested in this kind of secret realm specifically for low-level cultivators to train in.
However, this secret realm must be extraordinary for Lin Jiujiu to take a liking to it.
Moreover, he wasn't lying. He was brought into the cultivation world before he was even a year old, and now, at most, he's only been around for twenty-five years. The Azure Orchid Secret Realm only opens once every thirty years, and he wasn't even born when it last opened.
Lin Jiujiu thought it was something serious and waved her hand dismissively.
"I didn't intend to leave you out alone. Since we're going in, we'll go together."
"So, do I want my cultivation level suppressed to the Foundation Establishment stage?"
Lin Jiujiu thought for a moment and nodded. Since this secret realm had developed sentience, it must be watching from somewhere whenever someone went in.
If they enter without suppressing their cultivation, not to mention whether the secret realm can withstand it, it will be detrimental to her reconquest of the secret realm.
Upon hearing this, Tantai Yueming immediately responded.
"Alright, I'll go suppress my cultivation now."
Lin Jiujiu didn't care and let him go.
Soon, the Spirit Sword Sect's spirit ship stopped on an island in the Azure Sea.
Elder Wu arranged for someone to inquire.
"Fellow Daoist Lin, the entrance to the Canglan Secret Realm is located in a mountain valley northwest of Canglan City. There are still three days before the secret realm opens. We plan to enter the city to rest and replenish our supplies. Would Fellow Daoist Lin like to join us?"
Lin Jiujiu glanced back at Baili Chenyuan, then smiled and said to the newcomer.
"That's fine too. I've never been to Canglan City before, so this is a good opportunity to see the local customs and traditions."
As Lin Jiujiu spoke, she put away the spirit boat and led the others to unsheathe their swords and stop outside Canglan City.
Tantai Yueming watched as she directly put Baili Chenyuan's spirit boat into her own space, her eyelids twitched but she didn't say anything in the end.
After all, it's a matter between the couple, and Baili Chenyuan has no objection to it, so why should he, an outsider, meddle?
Lin Jiujiu only remembered that the spirit boat belonged to Baili Chenyuan after it was put away.
But since she had already received it, it seemed even more awkward to take it out and return it now. So she pretended nothing had happened, thinking that she would find an opportunity to return it when no one was around.
Canglan City is not large, surrounded by the sea on all sides, with only a mountain range in the northwest, but the terrain is not high, and from a distance it looks more like a small hill.
The existence of this city on such a remote and secluded island is ultimately due to the Canglan Secret Realm.
No one can explain how this secret realm came to be.
All we know is that it opens once every thirty years, and each time it opens, someone appears with a large number of rare and precious treasures.
It also attracted a large number of cultivators.
Some low-level cultivators, especially those with poor aptitude, seeing no hope of breaking through to the Golden Core stage, simply stopped traveling around looking for opportunities and instead settled down in certain places.
I'm just waiting for the next opening of the secret realm to see if I'll have another chance to go in and seek opportunities.
As more and more people stayed, Canglan gradually developed its own order and became a very prosperous town, mostly inhabited by cultivators below the Golden Core stage.
Later, in order to facilitate the disciples' trials and resource exchange, various cultivation sects also sent people to be stationed here for a long time.
Lin Jiujiu and the others entered the city with the people from the Spirit Sword Sect.
They were newcomers, and the secret realm was about to open. If it weren't for the people from the Spirit Sword Sect guiding them, they probably wouldn't have been able to find a place to stay.
Although they were all cultivators and could easily find a mountain range to carve out a cave dwelling, the cave dwellings that Ling Shi carved out were nowhere near as comfortable as an inn.
Although Lin Jiujiu can take Xiaodouding back to her own space, she cannot freely bring Tantai Yueming and others in and out.
This was the foundation of her livelihood, and she didn't want others to find out about it too early, not even Baili Chenyuan.
Fortunately, Tantai Yueming was the junior uncle of the Spirit Sword Sect, so even if they didn't have a place to stay, he would arrange it for them.
As Lin Jiujiu had expected, apart from the few guest rooms booked for them by the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect who were stationed there, it was completely impossible for her to ask for more rooms.
"Uncle-Master, all the guest rooms are full. The only two superior rooms we can spare now are these two."
Elder Wu looked at Lin Jiujiu and the others with some embarrassment.
The Spirit Sword Sect was already poor, and the prices of inns were too high at this time. The disciples stationed here also set aside two superior rooms and ten medium rooms as usual.
These two superior rooms were specially prepared for the elders leading the group, with two people sharing one room.
All the other disciples lived in medium-sized rooms, four people to a room.
Now that they've given up two of the best rooms, and all four elders leading the group are crammed into one medium-sized room, he's already done his best.
