Lin Jingge had no idea where Lin Shu's nervousness came from.
Although she was somewhat tempted, she was also aware of her own limitations. With these powerful figures present, there was no place for her to go. Even if she really wanted to enter the secret realm, she would have to plan it carefully.
She didn't give Lin Shu a definite answer, but instead patted his little hand reassuringly.
This intensified Lin Shu's ominous premonition.
But now he didn't know what to say.
"By the way, what exactly are you looking for? If it's this secret realm, we've already seen it. When are we going back?" Lin Jingge sat up and looked at Lin Shu.
I suddenly realized that Lin Shu had changed a bit; she seemed to have matured and grown a little taller.
The changes weren't significant, but Lin Jingge had always been with Lin Shu and knew her appearance and height very well, so she noticed even the slightest changes.
How long has it been?
Or is it that children change this quickly?
She kept her doubts to herself and did not speak rashly.
"Wait a little longer." Lin Shu was a little irritated at this moment, her pink lips pursed tightly.
Lin Jingge had no objection, but she was a little worried about Grandma Lin, since she was alone at home and she couldn't rest easy about it.
After exploring the secret realm, the group of people left some people to guard it and returned to their sheds.
Even after sitting down, these people couldn't calm down. They kept looking towards the direction of the secret realm, their hearts burning with excitement.
Approaching the secret realm, one can sense its rich spiritual energy. This alone is enough to demonstrate the extraordinary nature of the secret realm, and it is not difficult to guess how many good things it contains.
The group consisted of influential people from within a hundred miles of Lingyun City. As they discussed the matter, the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect spoke first.
A secret realm that can accommodate a thousand people can be considered a large secret realm.
Clan Chief Zhao, who had bought the spiritual field, was somewhat displeased to see the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect acting as if he were the guest in charge.
The entrance to this secret realm is right on his territory!
"This entrance to the secret realm is my family's spiritual field. My Zhao family will take half of the people, and you can divide the rest among yourselves," the Zhao clan chief said immediately after the elder finished speaking, his tone particularly forceful.
After Chief Zhao finished speaking, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"The secret realm was discovered by everyone together. Does your Zhao family want to take half of it?!" It was the First Elder who spoke, slamming his hand heavily on the wooden table.
Perhaps out of anger, or perhaps to intimidate Chief Zhao, he didn't control his strength and smashed the wooden table to pieces.
Just as the table was about to shatter, everyone jumped back a step.
Among them, Chief Zhao's cultivation was the weakest. He was a step slower and got some wood chips on his body.
Looking at the sawdust stuck to his clothes, Chief Zhao's expression turned somewhat grim.
“We’ve known each other for years, there’s no need to make a big fuss right away. Let’s discuss this further.” It was the Qian family who spoke.
The Qian family is the head of the four major families in Lingyun City, and their strength is also the strongest. Although they cannot compare with the Lingxiao Sect, the Qian family and the Sun family, one of the four major families, are related by marriage. The two families have suffered losses together and have advanced and retreated together for many years.
Together, the two families are a formidable force against the Lingxiao Sect, and even the Lingxiao Sect wouldn't dare to easily provoke the Qian family.
Therefore, Qian Zhong's words still carried some weight.
As soon as he finished speaking, the tense atmosphere instantly eased.
"What's there to discuss? The land belongs to the Zhao family, and the Zhao family should have the majority of the quota." The Zhao family patriarch, who had just been breaking the formation, walked over.
He walked slowly and leisurely, yet no one present dared to underestimate him.
He is the most powerful person here. It is said that although he is a Spirit Sect Master like the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect, the Zhao family's ancestor is said to have already stepped into the Spirit Emperor realm.
The Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect dared not presume to presume.
"It's just a thousand low-grade spirit stones, my Sun family has that kind of money too!" The voice of the Sun family patriarch came even before he arrived.
In the blink of an eye, he appeared before everyone.
"Ancestor!" The Sun family patriarch stepped forward and stood in front of his elders.
Despite being a middle-aged man, he stood before his ancestor like a child, clutching the message slip tightly in his hand.
It turned out that as soon as he sensed something was wrong, he secretly poured his spiritual energy into the message slip.
The Sun family patriarch glanced at his back, then raised his hand and waved it, instantly dispelling the power emanating from the Zhao family patriarch.
"You shameless old geezer, how dare you bully my juniors!" the Sun family patriarch roared. "Don't forget, back then, you were the one who begged to refine the Breakthrough Pill in order to break through to the Spirit Sect!"
Hearing what the Sun family patriarch said, the Zhao family members looked a little guilty.
He did indeed owe the other party a huge favor, and had not found an opportunity to repay it. But now that the other party brought it up, could it be that they wanted him to give up some of his spots?
The Zhao family patriarch looked on with suspicion and remained silent for a moment.
"This matter requires further consideration. You don't need to worry about it. Let us old folks discuss it first before we talk about it," said the Sun family patriarch.
He is a Xuan-rank alchemist. Even in the Lingxiao Sect, there is no alchemist of a higher rank than him, so everyone will give him some respect.
Although the Zhao family patriarch was unhappy that the other party had taken the initiative, he didn't say anything, which was considered as tacitly agreeing with his words.
Now it's the Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect's turn to be anxious.
The fact that the four major families colluded made things difficult for Lingxiao Sect.
The Lingxiao Sect has the ability to contend with two families, but when it comes to facing the four great families, the Lingxiao Sect has absolutely no chance of winning.
Seeing that the group was about to leave after making their decision, the Grand Elder became anxious and quickly said, "Then I..."
Upon hearing this, the Sun family patriarch turned and glanced at the First Elder.
"You're not qualified to talk to me. Get your master here!"
After saying that, he led everyone away.
The Grand Elder of the Lingxiao Sect's expression changed upon hearing this, and he only dared to lash out after the group had left.
He slapped the branch next to him.
"Pah! We're both from the Spirit Sect, what's with the arrogance!" He didn't dare to raise his voice too high, afraid that someone who hadn't gone far would hear him.
Although he was dissatisfied, he knew he couldn't beat his opponent.
Moreover, the ancestor of the Sun family was a Xuan-level alchemist.
Although their Lingxiao Sect also has an elder who is a Xuan-level alchemist, only the Sun family patriarch was able to successfully refine the Breakthrough Pill.
The formidable elder could only slink away with his men.
Lin Jingge, who was crouching in the tall grass in the distance, watched the whole farce unfold from beginning to end.
Most of the people at the wooden shed had left, and besides the cultivators left behind by the Zhao family at the entrance to the secret realm, there were also quite a few independent cultivators from Lingyun City.
Their eyes burned with desire as they gazed at the secret realm. Although they knew it wouldn't open anytime soon, they were reluctant to leave and sat down cross-legged.
