Upon hearing that Zhao Ziyi was going to enter the secret realm.
Wuzhiqi explained:
"There is only one way to enter a Greater Rift: obtain the key."
Each time a Greater Rift appears, a thousand marks will automatically form.
Once this mark is created, it will shoot out in all directions, landing on any location and any object on the True Treasure Continent.
This item automatically became the key to the secret realm.
Once the secret realm is opened, cultivators carrying the key will automatically enter the secret realm.
The secret realm of [Hundred Streams Immortal Mountain] has appeared and, barring unforeseen circumstances, will open in five years. Various factions have already mobilized teams to search for the key.
Whenever a major secret realm appears, it is the most bustling time on the True Treasure Continent.
All factions mobilized together, conducting a thorough search of their respective territories for the keys, leaving no location unchecked.
Keys in ordinary locations are usually picked up by high-level cultivators.
If a high-level cultivator encounters a suitable secret realm, he will hide the key and use it himself.
If you encounter a secret realm like [Hundred Streams Immortal Mountain] that restricts cultivation level...
High-level cultivators will hand over the key to their faction in exchange for corresponding contribution points.
Those forces will entrust the key to the person with the strongest cultivation, the one most suitable to explore the secret realm.
Once these treasure hunters emerge from the secret realm, they will also need to hand over half of their spoils to the relevant faction.
After listening to the explanations from the elders, Zhao Ziyi and Song Chen pondered for a while.
After a moment, Zhao Ziyi looked up and said:
"Elders, this secret realm is too dangerous. There are a total of 129 forces on the True Treasure Continent."
If friction occurs, it's like the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.
They could easily die in the chaos of war.
Moreover, we've considered that this secret realm wasn't prepared for us.
The elders nodded in agreement without any surprise upon hearing this.
The Celestial Fox Ancestor laughed:
"If the two of you go to the secret realm, who will take care of the Spicy Palace?"
Once a Greater Rift is opened, it takes at least three years to complete.
"You can earn tens of billions of spirit stones a year; going to the secret realm is really unnecessary."
Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi nodded in agreement.
At this moment, the taciturn Flood Dragon Ancestor spoke again. Looking at the two of them, he earnestly offered his advice:
"Although the secret realm is extremely dangerous, Boss Zhao is very wealthy."
Why don't you try to reclaim all the secret realm keys?
Within the secret realm, spiritual resources are limited. Most cultivators only manage to acquire rare and precious materials worth approximately 300,000 spirit stones.
"If you offer a high price, it's not impossible to buy back all the keys."
The words of the Dragon Ancestor left Zhao Ziyi and Song Chen completely stunned.
Buying a key?
Offering a high price for the key?
Then, Baixi Immortal Mountain became a secret realm that belonged only to them.
Zhao Ziyi's heart pounded. Yes, this is how money should be spent!
He booked the entire venue, and all expenses were paid by Young Master Zhao!
With enough money, even a secret realm that only appears once every three hundred years can be easily obtained.
Upon hearing this, the other elders gaped and looked at the dragon.
This guy's idea is really unconventional!
The Dragon Ancestor continued:
"If you want to reclaim the keys, you might as well start buying them up now."
Mr. Zhao is naturally intelligent; he should be able to come up with a better solution.
Zhao Ziyi nodded firmly:
"Great! That's bold! Let's do it! Song Chen and I will take over this Hundred Streams Immortal Mountain Secret Realm!"
Zhao Ziyi turned around and discussed it with Song Chen for a while, and then they settled on a number.
"The Spicy Palace has retrieved all one thousand keys to the Hundred Streams Immortal Mountain Secret Realm!"
Three million spirit stones in one go!
If a cultivator wants to sell a key, they can go to the territories of the Qilin Clan, the Jiaolong Clan, the Chibori Mahou Clan, the Qingluan Clan, and the Xingshu Immortal Fox Clan to conduct the transaction.
At that time, I hope that you elders will help me entertain those cultivators.
For every key we help recover, I will give you elders a key storage fee of 100,000 spirit stones.
A thousand keys would only cost 3 billion spirit stones.
For Song Chen and Zhao Ziyi, this amount of money represents only one month's revenue.
They can afford it!
Upon hearing this, the elders all nodded in agreement:
"Okay, we'll take care of the publicity for this!"
Ancestor Qingluan looked at Zhao Ziyi and asked:
"There must be some cultivators who refuse to sell the key."
After all, the fewer people there are, the more advantageous it is for cultivators entering the secret realm to search for treasures.
What will Boss Zhao do if he can't collect a thousand keys by then?
Zhao Ziyi grinned:
"Our employees at Spicy Palace are not just sitting around doing nothing."
At that time, we will select more than nine hundred Nascent Soul cultivators from the Star Pivot Immortal Fox Clan to sweep through the secret realm.
Those monks who refused to sell their keys could only hide; how could they find the treasure then?
We spent three billion spirit stones of real money, so it's best if other cultivators don't try to take advantage of this!
Upon hearing this, the elders gave Zhao Ziyi an approving look.
They're not stupid; they know how to protect their own interests.
Wuzhiqi shouted:
"Then it's settled. I'll promote it this way!"
News travels very fast in my sea tribe territory.
With the ocean, it can travel tens of thousands of miles in a single day.
Zhao Ziyi nodded:
"That's how we'll promote it. Thank you all, esteemed ancestors!"
Song Chen, who hadn't said much today, stepped forward and bowed to the elders.
Previously, his gaze had been fixed on the Flood Dragon Ancestor.
He keenly sensed that the Dragon Ancestor had something else to say.
Song Chen still wore a faint, comforting smile.
He clasped his hands in a fist salute to the Dragon Ancestor and asked sincerely:
“Ancestor, I feel that you still have something to say. You might as well speak frankly.”
Ziyi and I have many things we don't understand and need our ancestor to remind us.
Your words could save our lives.
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Ancestor breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Song Chen with eyes full of admiration.
"You really are... haha, so clever."
Then I will tell you everything I know.
The dragon clan possesses the skill of observing qi.
Everything in the world requires the right timing, the right place, and the right people.
The two of you are lacking in both favorable timing and advantageous location.
It can be said that you have all gotten to where you are today through your own hard work.
It is said that "harmony among people" means receiving help from benefactors.
But the benefactors you've befriended aren't true benefactors.
Because in your interactions with benefactors, you are always the ones who give more.
For example, the few of us didn't help you much.
So, I want to remind you.
If you remain content with your lot in one corner, lacking the necessary luck and favorable timing, you may perish in the future tribulations of lightning.
The Dragon Ancestor spoke seriously, and Song Chen couldn't help but feel a jolt in his heart upon hearing this.
He clasped his hands in thanks and expressed his sincere gratitude.
"Thank you for the reminder, Ancestor. Ziyi and I have always believed that it doesn't matter who makes the first move between friends."
Because human hearts are made of flesh.
What you said precisely demonstrates that our sincerity has moved you.
But how can we improve our luck?
Given the favorable timing and location, how can we compensate for these disadvantages?
