Chapter 270: Concentrated Secret Realm
Middle peak.
When Chu Ning arrived at the hall, he found that in addition to his master, there were several elders and two Nascent Soul disciples in the hall.
Chu Ning seldom visited other members of Danshan Sect, so he did not know these two Nascent Soul brothers.
"Chun Ning is here."
Seeing Chu Ning walk into the hall, the elders present all had gentle smiles on their faces.
"Hello, Master. Hello, elders."
Chu Ning greeted him and stood behind his master. He was very curious about why his master called him to Zhongfeng. "The Qianxin Secret Realm will be opened soon. This time, there are three vacancies in my Danshan Sect." Qi Shiyun seemed to know what Chu Ning was confused about and explained.
Chu Ning glanced at the two Nascent Soul disciples, so it was the three of them who would be participating in this session of the Secret Realm of Meditation.
The master had said at the beginning that the secret realm of concentration would begin not long after the competition was over.
This will soon be "two hundred years".
Yes, for a cultivator who has reached the God Transformation stage, two hundred years is indeed not a long time.
After a while, the figure of Sect Master Xie Jingxing appeared in the hall.
Xie Jingxing glanced at Chu Ning's three disciples, and frowned slightly when he saw that Chu Ning was still in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Realm.
It is a bit of a waste to participate in the secret realm of meditation in the middle stage of Nascent Soul.
However, this was what he had promised Elder Qi back then, so he naturally would not go back on his word now.
"Regarding the matters of Qianxin Secret Realm, I think your master has already explained them to you in detail, so I will not repeat them."
After hearing what the sect leader said, Chu Ning really wanted to say that his master had never told him.
"This sect master only hopes that when you enter the secret realm, you will not bring shame to our Danshan Sect. Of course, everything should be done with your own preservation as the top priority."
Xie Jingxing did not explain too much, but only informed the departure date.
Three days later, Chu Ning and the other two went to the Qianxin Secret Realm, and the team was led by an elder from the Second Peak.
After leaving the hall, Chu Ning was taken back to the Sixth Peak by Qi Shiyun.
"Master, what exactly is this secret realm of concentration like?"
"Even if you don't ask, I will tell you in detail about the secret realm."
Qi Shiyun smiled slightly. The reason why she did not inform Chu Ning in advance was because the opening time of the Qianxin Secret Realm was not fixed, and each sect could only infer an approximate time.
"This time, the secret realm of concentration is about a hundred years later than estimated, and our Danshan Sect originally had two quotas, but this time we borrowed one quota from another sect."
"Can I still borrow it?"
This was something Chu Ning had not expected. Shouldn't every sect be vying for this kind of quota? This was just like Han Xin's strategy of recruiting more soldiers, the more the better.
"This time the secret realm has been postponed for a hundred years, and only Nascent Soul disciples under a thousand years old can participate in the Qianxin secret realm. Among the late Nascent Soul cultivators in Xuanbing Mansion, there is only one genius disciple under a thousand years old left. The extra spot is given to my Danshan Sect..."
After listening to the master's explanation, Chu Ning finally understood what was going on.
Each sect has two places, but that does not mean that both places will be given to disciples in the sect. Instead, they are only reserved for talented disciples who meet the requirements.
Because the opening of the secret realm of meditation was postponed this time, another talented disciple of Xuanbing Mansion was over a thousand years old, and his vacancy became vacant.
On the other hand, there happened to be two disciples in Danshan Sect who met the requirements, but because the sect master had promised to give them one place, two places were not enough, so the sect master borrowed a place from Xuanbing Mansion.
If Xuanbing Mansion does not have enough quotas in the future, Danshan Sect will have to return the quotas to Xuanbing Mansion.
"This is the sorrow of ordinary disciples."
Chu Ning sighed in his heart. He believed that Xuanbing Mansion definitely had disciples who met the requirement of being under a thousand years old, but because they were not talented enough, the sect would rather give up the quota than give it to the ordinary disciples below.
"Do you think Xuanbing Mansion is too cruel to its disciples by doing this?"
Qi Shiyun saw what her disciple was thinking, and her eyes were serious as she said, "For a sect, genius disciples are the most important. As for ordinary disciples, they are more for the sake of maintaining the interests of the sect. This is the same in any sect."
"Secondly, the opportunities in the Secret Realm of Concentration must be fought for. If an ordinary disciple is not strong enough, he may not gain anything even if he enters the Secret Realm. Instead of wasting the quota, it is better to lend it out."
Chu Ning smiled bitterly and nodded: "Master, I can understand what you said."
"I will now tell you in detail about the Qianxin Secret Realm." Qi Shiyun explained: "The Qianxin Secret Realm was created by a Saint Master in the Dan Domain. Back then, that Saint Master planted many spiritual medicines in it, and even included some alchemy techniques and recipes..."
Listening to his master's story, Chu Ning also started to think.
Therefore, this secret realm was created by a senior in Danyu in order to train the younger generation of Danyu.
The space of the secret realm is very large, and it contains elixirs, pills, pill recipes, skills, magic weapons, and even artifacts.
The Qianxin Secret Realm is a treasure trove that has been magnified countless times. As for the danger, it comes from disciples from other sects and monsters guarding elixirs.
Chu Ning had an idea in his mind that this secret realm was generally safe and controllable.
The Dan domain is used to train new people, and those who enter are all geniuses, so the risk factor is naturally small. There are also tokens that can be transmitted back at any time, so the risk factor is almost zero.
This secret realm with almost zero risk factor was tailor-made for him.
I must visit this secret place.
…
…
Three days later, a flying boat sailed out from Danshan Sect and flew to an area in Danyu.
The northern area of Danyu.
In front of a certain valley, there are already many flying boats floating above the valley.
"arrive."
After hearing Elder Zhu's words, Chu Ning and two other Nascent Soul disciples walked out of the flying boat.
Chu Ning quickly glanced at the entire room and found that there were actually a few familiar faces.
Lu Sizhong, Tong Shouxian, Zhang Ji...
Those who participated in the competition two hundred years ago will also participate in this secret realm of meditation.
When Chu Ning walked out of the flying boat, many disciples from other sects looked at him.
The disciples of other sects were not surprised that Chu Ning appeared in this secret realm. He was ranked first in Class A. They would have been surprised if Danshan Sect did not give this spot to Chu Ning.
The secret realm of Qianxin opens once every thousand years. If Chu Ning does not participate this time, he will not be eligible to participate next time.
"Fellow Daoist Zhu, there are quite a few disciples from your Danshan Sect coming this time."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
At this moment, Chu Ning and other disciples who were about to enter the secret realm of meditation landed on the ground, while the elders of various sects were also chatting in the air.
When other sects saw three disciples from Danshan Sect walking out of the flying boat, they knew that Danshan Sect had borrowed a quota from a certain sect.
"There are many talented disciples in our sect, and there is nothing we can do if there are not enough places."
"The Secret Realm of Concentration is not useful just by having a large number of people. Last time, there were three disciples from a sect who entered, but in the end they gained the least."
The person who spoke was an old man sitting on a gourd. Elder Zhu glanced at him. It was normal for an elder of the Seven Fire Sect to make sarcastic remarks.
Ever since the Seven Fire Sect poached Li Tao last time, there has been some grudge between Danshan Sect and the Seven Fire Sect. Coupled with what happened during the competition, the two sects are not completely hostile to each other, but they do dislike each other, and it is inevitable that they will make some sarcastic remarks when they meet.
"How much you gain cannot be determined by someone's words. Sometimes, even the most deliberate efforts may end up in vain."
Elder Zhu hit back, saying that when it comes to eloquence, the elders of Danshan Sect are all good.
After all, Danshan Sect has six peaks, and the elders of each peak often engage in literary duels with each other on weekdays, so minor bickering is not a problem.
The elders above were bickering with each other, while the disciples like Chu Ning below were in harmony.
"Brother Lu, Brother Tong, Brother Da Zhang, Brother Zhang, long time no see. You all look as charming as ever." Chu Ning greeted them with a smile.
Zhang Ji: …
Zhang Hanqing: ...
Lu Sizhong and his companions did not expect Chu Ning to take the initiative to say hello. If they were the first in the A class, they would definitely be more reserved. After all, to some extent, they were all Chu Ning's subordinates who spent money profitably.
Although Lu Sizhong did not admit this.
"Fellow Daoist Chu has been in seclusion for the past two hundred years. I think he has made some breakthroughs in alchemy."
Tong Shou was the first to speak and responded to Chu Ning's words. Like Chu Ning, he was from the Lower Realm, so they naturally felt a sense of closeness.
Moreover, when he lost to Chu Ning in the competition, he accepted the defeat with all his heart.
"To be honest, Brother Tong, I haven't made much progress in alchemy in the past two hundred years. I haven't made many alchemy attempts. If we have another competition, I'm afraid I will only be at the bottom."
Chu Ning smiled bitterly, he was telling the truth.
In the past two hundred years, he has made elixirs very rarely.
However, when Tong Shouxian and the other three heard what he said, no one believed it.
Danshan Sect is a traditional sect. You told me that you have made fewer pills. Who are you trying to fool? This person really doesn't tell the truth.
Seeing these people suddenly fall silent, Chu Ning felt helpless, because what he said was true.
How could I misunderstand myself?
…
…
Seven days later! Spiritual energy surged out of the valley, and the eyes of Lu Sizhong and others lit up.
The seal of the secret realm has been unlocked.
At the same time, seven beams of light shot out from the valley. These seven beams of light fell at the entrance of the valley, forming a light curtain.
"The Secret Realm of Concentration is open. All disciples, please enter with your tokens."
A white-haired old man suddenly appeared in front of the valley, and when the elders from various sects in the sky saw the old man, they all landed on the ground with respectful expressions.
There was no aura emanating from the old man. When Chu Ning saw this old man, what came to his mind was the old man who was sitting cross-legged in the corner of the Soul Hall when he first joined Danshan Sect.
Judging from the looks in Elder Zhu and the others’ eyes, this guy should also be a big shot at the level of a sweeping monk.
Chu Ning and others took the token in their hands and walked slowly towards the valley. When their bodies passed through the colorful light curtain, Chu Ning felt the token in his hand get hot, and then a strong tearing sensation appeared. The surrounding scenes began to become blurred, and the whole consciousness began to become blurred.
"That's not right. Master never said that this would happen after entering the valley."
What Chu Ning didn't know was that the moment he stepped into the light curtain, the mountain in his body suddenly shook.
At the mouth of the valley, the white-haired old man seemed to have noticed something. He looked towards the light curtain with a thoughtful look in his eyes, but then he returned to normal.
