Chapter 98 What secrets are being seized

After saying goodbye to Zhan Chenming, Nan Wang returned to the Tianmo Sect.

Although Zhan Chenming cannot enter the Tianmo Sect, he will stay in the Tianmo City for the time being. If Nanwang encounters any problems in the sect, he can go directly to the city to ask him for help.

However, although the Northern Territory has been quite peaceful recently, there is no guarantee that there will be no secret realm appearing in the future. If a secret realm really appears, Zhan Chenming, who is already in the Northern Territory, must go to support the secret realm.

If things turned out to be like that, Zhan Chenming would leave a letter for Nan Wang before leaving to prevent Nan Wang from being unable to find him.

When he returned to the Demonic Sect, it was still a long time before Fu Tang's class was over, so he definitely couldn't go back. But Nan Wang didn't want to just stand there and wait, so he found a cool open space and set up a fully automatic grill.

The rabbit he caught last time was eaten for several meals and there was still some left, so he made it all at once this time to avoid having to keep it in his storage bag and taking up space.

When Nanwang's rabbit was ready to be cooked, Annuo came to pick him up from school.

Seeing Nanwang outside, An Nuo was a little confused, but his doubt only lasted for a short while. Soon, the fragrant roasted rabbit attracted all his attention.

“Can I eat now?”

An Nuo squatted next to the grill, drooling uncontrollably.

Nanwang said, "It's not ready yet. Stand further away so you don't get blackened by the smoke. I'll call you when it's done."

An Nuo wiped his saliva and said firmly: "I don't care! I want to roast rabbit with you!"

Nanwang complained: "You don't care. I always wash it for you when it gets dirty."

An Nuo blinked and said, "You don't have to wash it. I really don't care."

Nanwang: "...I have something to say!"

He doesn't want to sleep with a black, greasy rabbit in his arms!

While the two were arguing, people came out of Fu Tang one after another.

The Demon Sect is not like the Immortal Sect that tests one's appetite and acts as a scourge and beast, but it is a place to seek immortality and the primary goal is to improve one's cultivation.

There is no place for disciples to eat in the Tianmo Sect. If disciples have any food needs, they can only go to Tianmo City to have a meal.

However, the food in Tianmo City is not very rich. Most of them are wontons, dumplings and ordinary stir-fried dishes. There is definitely no open-air barbecue.

The disciples were quickly attracted by the aroma of grilling and surrounded the grill.

"What is this? How much is it?"

"How many spirit stones are needed for one string? It smells so good. Give me ten strings first."

"Oh my god, they've already started eating rabbits. 'Killing Leaves, Seizing Heaven' has finally progressed to this point..."

"How do you eat rabbit meat, boss? Is there anything else?"

"Isn't this Brother Nan? Brother, I'm sitting behind you. For the sake of our friendship, can you give me two skewers?"

Nanwang had been preparing to share the rabbit with everyone, so he immediately started roasting it. Since he was too busy, he called An Nuo, who was eating with a gusto, to help.

Soon, Nanwang’s rabbit stock was almost used up.

There were too many monks and too little porridge, and seeing that everyone seemed to be unsatisfied, Nan Wang did not hesitate and took out some grilled skewers that he had made earlier and distributed them to everyone.

The stock was low, so he had to prioritize his own rabbits and save some for Zhong Wangsheng...

Nanwang said: "Each person gets one skewer of pork and one skewer of vegetables. Don't take more than that. If you take more, others will have nothing left."

Everyone nodded in agreement and promised not to take more.

However, before they tasted it, they all said it better than they sang it. But once they really tasted it, the situation was different.

“This rabbit is so delicious!”

"I think this 'Kill Ye Qian and seize the secrets of heaven' should be changed to 'Eat Ye Qian and seize the secrets of heaven'."

"Why are you cutting in line? Go line up at the back!"

"What do you mean by queue-jumping? This is your third time in line. Get out of here or I'll take action!"

"Can you please be a little more decent, decent!"

"What qualities are required to cultivate magic? If you don't agree, I'll see you in the ring!"

Nan Wang watched the situation become increasingly chaotic, and finally even developed to the point of fighting, so he quickly left the grill and stepped forward to persuade them to stop fighting:

"Stop arguing, stop arguing, I'm packing up, stop arguing..."

In the panic, someone pushed Nan Wang, and he fell to one side unexpectedly. When he fell, he accidentally turned around and ended up facing the grill.

Seeing that a tragedy was about to happen, Nan Wang quickly cast a water spell to extinguish the charcoal fire under the grill.

The drastic temperature change produced a large amount of water vapor. Half of Nan Wang's body was engulfed by the water vapor and he fell uncontrollably towards the grill.

He closed his eyes in fear, hoping that the temperature of the grill had dropped to a level he could bear.

Just as he was about to come into close contact with the grill, a powerful force grabbed the back of his collar, pulled him into the air, and threw him onto the grass nearby.

Nan Wang managed to stand firmly on the ground, coughing and waving his hands to disperse the white mist filled with water vapor.

When his vision fully returned, he was stunned by the scene before him.

The disciples fell down one after another, lying on the ground unconscious. A few who were still barely conscious kept shouting in pain.

"Nanwang! Are you okay?"

An Nuo flew to Nan Wang's side and the roasted rabbit meat in his mouth dropped out of his mouth out of fright.

"I, I'm fine."

Nan Wang held Annuo's hand in shock, absorbing some warmth from the other's warm palm.

His eyes swept over the fallen disciples, and his voice trembled as he spoke: "What's wrong with everyone? Why do they look so——"

Why does it look like food poisoning! ?

No, I don't think so...

"It's okay, I was just knocked unconscious."

Amidst the chaos, a voice slowly rang out.

Nan Wang looked in the direction of the sound and saw a sloppy disciple.

All the disciples fell down, except him who was safe and sound. He sat cross-legged on the grass, gnawing on a rabbit leg happily.

Nan Wang was horrified and asked, "Did you do this?"

The disciple admitted frankly, "It was me. I saw that they were making such a commotion and it affected you, so I used an explosive talisman. It seems to have worked quite well."

Nan Wang hesitated for a moment and said, "Thank you very much for your help..."

The disciple waved his hands and said nonchalantly, "No, no, it's just a small matter. I haven't thanked you for the rabbit yet. It's so delicious!"

Nan Wang looked at the extinguished grill, then looked at the disciples lying on the ground, and was speechless for a moment.

Although he was very grateful to this man for saving him, weren't his methods too exaggerated?

Wouldn't it be enough to just drag him away? Why blow up everyone else?

Nan Wang complained silently in his heart for a while, but he still asked the man's name in a very friendly manner: "May I know your last name?"

"Your surname is Qi. Qi has no tools, but tools for refining tools."

"It turns out to be Brother Qi, I am Nan..."

"I know you. You're very famous." Qi Wuqi said very frankly, "You're the one who became the guardian of the sect right after joining it - the leader's mistress."

Nanwang: “???”

Nanwang: "Who is spreading rumors? I have nothing to do with the current leader. I just knew the previous leader."

An Nuo also jumped out to refute: "He is not the leader's mistress, he is my mistress!"

Nan Wang quickly covered Annuo's mouth.

Qi Wuqi's eyes wandered between Nanwang and Annuo, and finally revealed a look of understanding:

"It's okay. I understand."

Nanwang: “…”

No, you understand nothing!

Qi Wuqi finished the last bite of rabbit meat in his hand and said, "Your ability to make talismans is not that great, but you are good at cooking. I think you should stop wasting time in the Heavenly Demon Sect. Wouldn't it be better for you to find a job as a chef in the city?"

Nan Wang was not surprised that Qi Wuqi thought that his "talisman-making ability was not very good". After all, every time he handed in the talismans, he always handed in spirit stones. The large number this time naturally made people think that he could not make talismans at all.

However, although the first half of the sentence is easy to understand, the second half...

Nan Wang said: "My poor talisman-making skills will not affect my cultivation. I am pursuing enlightenment and becoming an immortal, so how can I give up so easily?"

Qi Wuqi sneered, "What do you mean by becoming an immortal? In the past tens of millions of years, not a single cultivator has successfully ascended to heaven. The ancestors were unable to open the passage to the upper realms, and it is even more impossible for later generations to ascend. The spiritual energy is becoming increasingly thinner, while the number of cultivators is increasing. Not only do you invest spiritual stones, but you also take risks, but in the end, you get nothing. It's better to live an ordinary life like an ordinary mortal!"

"What? For thousands of years... no one has become an immortal?"

Nan Wang widened his eyes in shock.

"Yeah, don't you know?" Qi Wuqi asked curiously, "If you don't know, then why do you eat rabbits?"

Nanwang: “?”

He just likes to eat rabbits, right?

Fortunately, Nan Wang was not stupid. After a brief thought, he immediately understood: "The reason why Wu Ren became an immortal is also related to Ye Kuan?"

Qi Wuqi said, "Of course! Ye Coun has lived for tens of thousands of years, and his cultivation has never changed. If he hadn't held the secret of heaven, he would have passed away long ago! Ye Coun held the secret of heaven tightly, and he couldn't become an immortal himself, and he wouldn't let others try. Of course, everyone is very dissatisfied with him. Otherwise, why would they kill Ye Coun and take the secret of heaven?"

Nanwang: "...Ye Kuang, who holds the secret of heaven, cannot attain enlightenment and ascend to heaven. How can others succeed?"

Qi Wuqi said frankly: "You are right, everyone thinks so, but who can be content without trying? I think the Demon Cult Alliance will soon attack Qingyun Mountain. Whether it can succeed or not will be clear then. But these things have nothing to do with you and me. With our level of cultivation, we will only be cannon fodder if we go up. It is better for us to refine talismans and provide supplies for the front line..."

Nanwang couldn’t hear what was said afterwards.

His mind was in a mess. He thought about what he had seen and heard in Qingyun Sect, then he thought about Tong Yan in the original novel, and then he thought about Zhong Wangsheng.

The chaotic thoughts finally summed up into one sentence - for tens of millions of years, no one has become an immortal.

If becoming an immortal was a scam from the beginning, why did so many cultivators rush to embark on this path of cultivating immortality?

What is Ye Kuo's secret?

All the secrets are concentrated in one person. Only by meeting Ye Kua can he know the whole truth.

But, just...

Nan Wang looked at An Nuo in his arms with resentment.

An Nuo tilted his head in confusion, his eyes showing some bewilderment, as if asking:

Can you let him go now? He's not talking anymore.

It's so stuffy having to cover his mouth all the time, he can't even breathe.
