During the flight, Jiang Yuan was discovered by the monster several times, but in the end, he was able to hide it with his divine power and nothing happened. It also took Jiang Yuan a few minutes to find the location that met the conditions mentioned by Liu Zhaodi.
“This is it!” Liu Zhaodi pointed to a ruin below.
Their location was very close to the beast tide, but due to the terrain, the beast tide had been pushed further forward, meaning they had left the South City and arrived at the West Gate area, which had been occupied by the beast tide.
"Where is this?" Jiang Yuan wasn't particularly familiar with the South City. He chose to come to the West Gate area of the South City because he had been there before.
Liu Zhaodi chuckled, then asked mischievously, "Do you know where the first place in the South City produced the Divine Bloodstone?"
"You know about the Divine Bloodstone?" Jiang Yuan looked at Liu Zhaodi in surprise.
“Not only do I know, I also have some at home!” Liu Zhaodi patted her chest mysteriously.
Jiang Yuan looked thoughtful, and seeing this, Liu Zhaodi said, "This time you helped the Liu family, so I'll take the liberty of giving you that Divine Blood Stone! However!"
"But what?" Jiang Yuan asked, a look of surprise on his face.
“You have to come back with me for a meal, otherwise they won’t believe you’re my boyfriend. With my dad’s stingy nature, he definitely won’t agree!” Liu Zhaodi analyzed logically.
"Is it really just a meal? Your dad isn't really going to keep me as his son-in-law, is he? Don't end up losing your life for a piece of divine bloodstone!" Jiang Yuan said half-jokingly.
"Those two pieces! Are they okay?" Liu Zhaodi held up two fingers and waved them in front of Jiang Yuan.
"This isn't about the Divine Bloodstone, it's about principles!" Jiang Yuan was tempted, but considering that Liu Zhaodi would have to use countless lies to cover up this one, he resisted the temptation.
Three pieces!
Liu Zhaodi decisively held up another finger, and said pitifully, "I only have three left!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
"It's just a regular family dinner, there's no one else here!" Liu Zhaodi thought Jiang Yuan was only refusing because of his status.
"Actually, whether or not I have the Divine Bloodstone is not important. The key is that I'm really hungry!" Jiang Yuan coughed twice and said shamelessly.
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhaodi beamed with joy. Without a doubt, she was extremely willing to invest in pursuing her husband, and she did so without expecting anything in return.
"By the way, you didn't find your Divine Bloodstone here either, did you?" Jiang Yuan quickly steered the conversation back to the main topic to avoid embarrassment.
Liu Zhaodi felt much better after receiving the reply, and she quickly said, "It was obtained here, but the first Divine Blood Stone was discovered by the warlords of the Southern City!"
"This used to be a natural scenic area, so there were never many people here. After the disaster, it became even more deserted. But what's strange is that large numbers of monsters often roam this place, and their numbers are so numerous that it's terrifying!"
Hearing Liu Zhaodi's chilling description, Jiang Yuan asked strangely, "What about the monsters? Weren't they said to be so numerous they'd make your scalp crawl?"
“It’s right down there!” Liu Zhaodi said leisurely.
Jiang Yuan glanced around and said speechlessly, "Big sister, stop messing with me. I haven't seen a single low-level monster in this place!"
“There isn’t one now, but once the secret realm opens, even ninth-rank monsters will avoid it like the plague!” Liu Zhaodi’s face showed a look of shock.
"Is there a secret realm here?" Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes. A secret realm is similar to a storage ring, but it is a separate, independent space.
"The Divine Blood Stone was obtained from the secret realm, but this place has been conquered several times, and only the two most difficult secret realms remain!" Liu Zhaodi showed a regretful expression, as if the secret realm was a very precious thing.
"Tell me about it, I'm very interested!" Jiang Yuan made no attempt to hide his covetousness for the secret realm.
"Um!" Liu Zhaodi hesitated for a moment before shyly saying, "I've had a problem since I was little: I can't speak when I'm nervous!"
"And then what?" Jiang Yuan had no idea what Liu Zhaodi was planning.
"I'm afraid of heights, could you hold me?" Liu Zhaodi glanced at Jiang Yuan guiltily.
Jiang Yuan: "..."
Seeing that Jiang Yuan made no comment, Liu Zhaodi could only pout and slowly recount the origin of the secret realm.
Opening the secret realm is simple; you just need to stand on the altar and pay with Holy Spirit Stones. However, while opening the altar is easy, obtaining the treasures of the secret realm is difficult, and escaping from the surrounding beast horde is even more difficult.
Once the secret realm opens, not only will monsters swarm within, but it will also emit a powerfully alluring scent that will affect monsters within a radius of dozens of miles. This means that the beast tide surrounding the South City will launch a counterattack against the secret realm in a very short time, resulting in a pincer attack.
"Are there any ninth-tier spirit beasts?" Jiang Yuan asked the question he was most concerned about.
So many days have passed, and the beast tide surrounding the South City is growing stronger every day. It is unknown how many ninth-tier spirit beasts have been bred from it, so this is something that must be paid attention to if you want to enter the secret realm.
"Then I don't know, after all, Ximen has been occupied for a week, and no one has come here since!" Liu Zhaodi shook her head to indicate that she did not know.
"How many monsters did you encounter when Ximen was not yet captured?" Jiang Yuan continued to inquire.
"Well!" Liu Zhaodi bit her lip and recalled carefully, "I don't know the exact number, but considering the number of monsters in the South City at that time, it definitely wasn't small!"
"That's great!" Jiang Yuan exclaimed excitedly, clenching his fist.
Is this a good thing?
Liu Zhaodi was utterly bewildered by Jiang Yuan's appearance, but after what had just happened, she had chosen to completely trust him; he was a man capable of creating miracles.
