Demon Taming: Start by synthesizing a Lantern Ghost with Divine and Demonic Talents

Chapter 95, Section 94: The Endless Secret Realm and the Desolate Wasteland
It was just a chance encounter.

They seemed to be having a lively conversation, but in reality, it was all just a question-and-answer session.

After the meal, Hu Yifei, along with Li Chunfeng and Chen Lingsu, headed to the secret realm for training and to familiarize themselves with teamwork.

Li Chunfeng naturally felt it was unnecessary, but he also wanted to see the splendor of the local secret realm.

Previously, due to insufficient strength, I dared not enter.

Later, after awakening his divine abilities, he went to the Ghost Realm and has been separated from the native secret realm ever since.

Hu Yifei, on the other hand, has been training and fighting in the local secret realm, and has earned a lot of cultivation resources.

He is also working hard to pay for the tuition fees when he gets into university. Everyone's family has limited resources. Although the Xianting student loan can solve the tuition problem, that money will have to be repaid in the future.

Wouldn't it be better if we could earn enough tuition and training funds in the secret realm?

Just as they were about to set off, Lao Yan approached Li Chunfeng and asked, "Isn't your team complete yet?"

"Three people are enough."

Yan Liguang said, "Let me find you two more, otherwise it would be a waste of your combat power."

"Who did Teacher Yan contact?"

What are your requirements for your teammates?

"Obedience, few problems, easy to get along with."

Yan Liguang clicked his tongue, "Then how about bringing Xia Xing and Jiang Lele from our class? They are the two students in our class who have the best chance of getting into the Dao Academy, besides you and Hu Yifei."

Xia Xing is their class monitor, and when Yan Liguang is not around, he takes on the role of a second parent.

Jiang Lele is a cute little girl with a round face. She is quite pretty and has a gentle personality.

Li Chunfeng didn't care and turned to ask Hu Yifei for his opinion.

When Hu Yifei heard that it was Lao Yan who made the arrangements, he agreed and said confidently, "It'll be the two of them. We can take them with us."

Thus, the five-person team was full.

Yan Liguang was also very pleased, saying, "I believe that with your abilities, you are capable of leading them into the finals."

"Ah."

Li Chunfeng casually replied, "Teacher Yan, are you familiar with the secret realms near the Mountain and Sea Boundary City?"

"The airspace over Shanhaizhou is chaotic, and it has been an ancient battlefield for conflicts between different realms since ancient times, making it a strategic location for military strategists. There are many secret realms, forbidden areas, and small worlds near the boundary city. I'll send you a list of secret realms near Shanhai boundary city. You don't need to consider high-level secret realms, but some small secret realms are rich in special demon spirits and cultivation resources. You can decide for yourself."

"Thank you, Teacher Yan."

The Earthly Realm is one of the Middle Thousand Worlds, and within it are relatively independent Grotto-Heavens, Blessed Lands, Secret Realms, Forbidden Lands, and even some subordinate Lesser Thousand Worlds.

Typically, the worlds are separated by the void, in which countless celestial demons roam. The Celestial Court of the Earthly Realm has also been managing the numerous minor worlds and secret realms surrounding it.

It is said that in the past, special entry requirements were required to enter these places for training, and the threshold was extremely high.

Now, thanks to the crisis in the Abyss, the Celestial Court has lowered its entry requirements, aiming to cultivate more talent.

Yan Liguang's message arrived quickly. While waiting for his teammates to arrive, Li Chunfeng reviewed the information on the various secret realms.

"Sealed Ancient Ruins, a Heavenly-level Secret Realm."

Legend has it that it originated in ancient times, and was captured by the Earthly Realm after a small extraterrestrial world returned to nothingness.

The interior contains the battlefield ruins of an ancient war between the gods, sealed by a powerful barrier. Countless ancient divine beasts and forbidden magical artifacts are sealed within, making it a place where opportunity and risk coexist. It is said that if the seal is loosened, it will trigger celestial phenomena and bring about calamity.

The minimum entry requirement for this secret realm is the Yin Spirit Realm (fourth level), which is obviously not open to students.

"Reincarnation Abyss: Heavenly Forbidden Land"

Legend has it that the Abyss of Reincarnation is a passage connecting hell and the human world, where countless demons and evil spirits dwell. It is dark and deep, filled with a chaotic and evil aura. Any life that steps into this place will face terrifying trials that cannot be overcome. Only the most wicked and ruthless heroes can obtain the power of the abyss from it.

"Apocalypse Forest: Yellow-level Secret Realm".

A special little world, where all kinds of plants with strange abilities grow in an ancient forest, and every leaf and every fruit may trigger unknown dangers. Deeper still, there is a 'Tree of Revelation' that can reveal the future, but to get close to it, one must pay an extremely high price.

"Desolate Wasteland: Mystic-level Secret Realm"

The desolate and boundless land, once a battlefield of a cataclysmic war, now retains a strong aura of desolation, giving rise to many powerful wild beasts and insect swarms. Every so often, a beast tide erupts, putting immense pressure on the defenses of the Mountain and Sea Prefecture.

Legend has it that beneath this desolate land lies a mysterious source of power capable of devouring all things and giving birth to new life.

"Netherfire Volcano Cluster, Mysterious-level Secret Realm".

It is a scorching region composed of countless volcanoes, where the lava flows with the destructive power of ghostly fire. It is said that at the center of the volcanic cluster, an ancient fire god is sealed, and once unsealed, it will inevitably cause a catastrophic catastrophe.

In addition, there are "Icefield Miniature World", "Demon Forest", "Valley of the Milky Way", "Dark Dungeon", etc.

It seems there aren't many places to go.

The Lesser Thousand Worlds are vast, and they don't have enough time for them, so they are naturally excluded.

The Valley of the Celestial River is a valley surrounded by a celestial river, filled with all sorts of rare and precious natural treasures. The entrance fee is a million cultivation points, and with limited time, it's not advisable to go in to search for treasure.

Hu Yifei had previously been training in the Dark Underground City, a dark labyrinth deep underground, hiding all sorts of terrifying creatures, traps, and evil forces. A single misstep could lead to getting lost within.

The Celestial Court did not exterminate these monsters, but left them as a training ground for local cultivators and martial artists. "Why don't we just go to the dungeon? As long as we don't go too deep, we'll be safe enough," Hu Yifei suggested.

"No, let's go to the Desolate Wasteland!" This time, Li Chunfeng made the decision.

The underground city is too small to accommodate such a large figure as him.

He also had his own needs when he went to the secret realm.

[Burning Lamp]: Yaksha Level 5 (Tier 3)
Soul assimilation rate: 31%.

……

His imperial elixir had been prepared long ago, but he never used it.

The soul-cleansing effect of the Emperor's Dew is the best among several secret medicines for cleansing the soul.

A 31% assimilation rate is enough for him to feed back into the body once more before reaching the critical point.

Only by using the Emperor's Elixir at that time can the effects of the secret medicine be maximized.

However, the feedback would reduce the strength of the demon pet, so he always wanted to raise the lamp by one level and stabilize its cultivation at the middle stage of the third tier before activating the feedback.

After all, the cultivation level of the Burning Lamp is related to the strength of the 108,000 illusory clones.

His low cultivation level directly affected Li Chunfeng's overall strength.

A moment later, Xia Xing and Jiang Lele arrived together.

"Li Chunfeng, Hu Yifei, I'm going to have to rely on you guys this time." Xia Xing greeted the two of them with a smile.

Hu Yifei patted Xia Xing on the shoulder and said, "What are you saying, Lao Xia? Do you think I don't know your strength?"

Jiang Lele is not a talkative person. They have been classmates for several years and are already very familiar with each other.

Stealing a glance at Li Chunfeng, her face slightly flushed, she asked Hu Yifei, "Where are we going to train?"

Hu Yifei said, "We'll pick up Ling Su first, then take a car to the Silent Wasteland. There's still a week until the preliminary rounds, enough time for us to hone our teamwork."

"No, we'll rent a magical flying boat."

Li Chunfeng immediately contacted the rental company by phone and placed an order.

The Shanhaizhou region is vast, and life within the border city is quite comfortable with convenient transportation, so flying boats are generally unnecessary.

Outside the city, there are also trains, airships, and flying boats.

If other plans are in place, a private airship is the best option.

It's an essential tool for traveling.

The flying boats in the Earthly Realm are updated and iterated very quickly, and the power furnaces make a leap forward every hundred years.

The competition among major manufacturers is fierce.

If it is a magic weapon-grade flying boat, the price is not expensive, ranging from 10 to 50 Dao power.

It depends on the performance, configuration, comfort, and brand.

Products from major manufacturers are generally more reliable in terms of workmanship and quality. When considering purchasing a flying boat for religious purposes, factors such as after-sales maintenance costs, safety, reputation, price, and overall cost should also be taken into account.

Buying a magic-grade flying boat wouldn't be out of the question, but Li Chunfeng simply doesn't care about magic-grade artifacts.

A spirit-grade flying boat is priced between 50 and 300 Dao power.

If he hadn't ridden in Xu Changliu's magic-grade flying boat, he might have bought a spirit-grade flying boat instead.

Now I look down on some of them.

The selection of magical artifact-level flying vehicles is much wider, including flying boats, flying swords, cloud-escaping devices, puppets, wings, and more...

If it weren't for the fact that acquiring the Lantern Ghost was a bottomless pit, requiring a continued investment of vast amounts of Daoist cultivation, Li Chunfeng would have bought a magic treasure-level flying boat for himself.

The reason I didn't buy it was naturally because it was too expensive.

With the big exam approaching and the possibility of leaving the Mountain and Sea City afterward, it's a bit premature to buy a flying boat now.

Renting it will suffice.

Hu Yifei said, "Then I'll have Susu come over."

Chen Lingsu was happily packing her things in the dormitory when Zhou Si happened to see her. "Lingsu, are you going on a long trip?"

"Yes, Xiao Ye, didn't our team sign up for the Qingyun Ranking Team Competition? Today we're going to the Secret Realm to practice and refine our formation."

Zhou Si's expression also changed slightly. "Are you in the same team as Li Chunfeng? Where are you planning to go for training?"

"Xiao Li said he was going to the desolate wasteland."

"The Desolate Wasteland, that's a Xuan-level secret realm. Be careful when you go, and have a safe journey."

"Thank you, I'm leaving first."
