Above the source of Tao

After greeting Xi Que and Gu Jin, Yun Chang'an came up to Zhao Xian and bowed with both hands.

"Greetings, Master Zhao Xian." He then bent down and bowed, performing a deep salute.

"Are you Yun Changan, the one who injured the Red Fire Lion all by himself and planted vegetables on that field?"

Zhao Xian still stared at him with a burning gaze. This made Yun Changan in front of him feel a little bit like a thorn in the back, thinking that he would not discover the Five Elements Moisturizing Earth Formation.

He replied, "Yes, my disciple."

Seeing that Zhao Xian did not ask further, Yun Changan breathed a sigh of relief.

But when Sister He found a chair for him to sit down, he heard a puzzled voice.

Huh?

It was Zhao Xian who made the noise, and then he burst into laughter again.

Xi Que and Gu Jin asked in confusion, "Why are Elder Zhao and Master laughing for no reason?"

Zhao Xian did not answer their questions. He turned to look at Yun Changan and said, "You kid, you have already broken through to the Jifu stage!"

Xi Que and Gu Jin were a little confused when they heard what Zhao Xian said. They looked at Yun Chang'an seriously and then followed Xiao Lu. Only Yun Chang'an felt a little uncomfortable because of the laughter of the three of them.

Senior Sister He looked at Yun Changan who was in a dilemma and explained, "There is a secret realm in the sect that opens every five years. It will open in three months."

Then, Yun Changan learned from Senior Sister He that this secret realm was called Denglou Secret Realm. It was very large and had many dangerous Yuan beasts. There was a pagoda in the center of the secret realm, and below it was a long staircase. This secret realm was left behind by the Shangyang Saint who founded the Shangyang Sect before he left, and was intended to be a place for training disciples within the sect.

There may be treasures left by Saint Shangyang on the top of the tower, but no one has ever been able to reach the top, and no one has ever seen what Saint Shangyang left on the top of the tower. Moreover, there are many dangers in the tower, and only those who pass the test can reach the top.

At this time, Zhao Xian looked at Yun Changan and asked, "Are you interested in breaking into the tower?"

Yun Changan wondered, "With my current cultivation level, can I go to the secret realm?"

Zhao Xian explained, "This was originally a test left by Saint Shangyang for the disciples in the Qi Training Realm. Disciples above the Qi Training Realm are not qualified to enter. Only disciples in the Qi Training Realm can pass through the secret entrance. If anyone else wants to force their way through that entrance, they will be strangled instantly by the secret realm formation, and their soul will be gone."

"How about it, are you interested?" Zhao Xian asked again.

After thinking for a moment, Yun Changan still had some doubts and asked, "Can we, the outer disciples, who don't even have the qualifications to enter the inner sect, also go?"

Hearing Yun Changan's question, Zhao Xian was stunned and then showed anger. Senior Brother Gu Jin quickly explained jokingly, "Originally, according to the order left by the Shangyang Saint, all Shangyang Sect disciples can participate in this secret realm, including outer sect disciples."

However, some time ago, the head of the sect held an elders' meeting for this secret realm. But at the meeting, an elder suggested that the outer disciples had too poor qualifications and were wasting their places, so they should not be allowed to participate.

At this moment, Master Zhao Xian instantly became furious and had a huge argument with the elder. In the end, they even fought and injured the elder. As a result, Master Zhao Xian was put in solitary confinement and was not released until a few days ago.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the head of the sect did not cancel the quota.

Yun Chang'an suddenly realized what was going on when he heard this, so he looked at Zhao Xian and agreed immediately.

Seeing Yun Chang'an agreed, he immediately said to Yun Chang'an, "Since you agreed to enter the secret realm, I have a favor to ask of you."

Yun Chang'an looked at Zhao Xian in confusion, and then learned from Zhao Xian that there was a dark forest in this secret realm, and in the forest there was a place called Minglin Castle, where a plant called Minglin Flower grew.

Zhao Xian asked Yun Chang'an to go and pick some Netherworld Flowers, even just one.

Zhao Xian warned again, "It's very dangerous there. If your life is in danger, leave immediately. It doesn't matter if you can't pick it."

Yun Changan looked at Zhao Xian and asked, "What is this Netherworld Flower used for?"

So, Zhao Xian started to explain, "This Nether Flower can be used as medicine to keep a person's soul from dissipating between heaven and earth. It is also a bridge to the Netherworld. With it, one can know the location of the Netherworld. But if one wants to go to the Netherworld, the Nether Flower alone is not enough."

Yun Chang'an was overjoyed when he heard what Zhao Xian said. This Netherworld Flower can preserve the soul, so would it be effective when given to Fairy Shichen? Yun Chang'an was daydreaming at this time, and his mind had already drifted far away. Thinking about these things, he did not hear what Zhao Xian said afterwards.

"Hey, kid, don't think too much. If there's real danger, you don't have to pick it."

Zhao Xian saw that Yun Chang'an was distracted and thought that he was afraid of danger, so he opened his mouth to remind him.

Yun Changan came back to his senses after Zhao Xian called him twice, and said to Zhao Xian, "Disciple will definitely pick it for you, but why do you need it?"

Zhao Xian glanced at Yun Changan and said coldly, "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."

Yun Chang'an realized that he had run into bad luck and stopped talking.

At this time, Senior Sister He asked Yun Changan what business he had in coming to me?

Yun Changan explained the reason for this. He had already finished the deer meat that Senior Sister He had given him, and now he was craving for it, so he wanted to ask Senior Sister He for some more meat.

When Brother Xi Que heard that Yun Chang'an wanted some meat, he kept him and asked him to cook for everyone. Firstly, he hadn't eaten Yun Chang'an's meal for a long time, and secondly, Zhao Xian often said that he ate grass every day and had never eaten delicious food. Xi Que was dissatisfied, but he had no choice because what Zhao Xian said was the truth.

I had eaten the delicious deer meat at Yun Chang'an's place once before. I had always been itching to have it, but I couldn't bring myself to go to Yun Chang'an to ask for food, and I was afraid that it would delay his practice.

Therefore, after I ate there for the first time, I never went there again.

Now, Big Brother Xi Que pulled Yun Chang'an to prepare ingredients for him. Yun Chang'an couldn't resist Big Brother Xi Que, so he cooked a large table of dishes.

The group of five people gathered around the table and started eating with relish.

"Who said I haven't eaten delicious food?" The magpie mumbled while eating deer meat.

Just like that, after the five of them had eaten and drunk their fill, Senior Sister He gave Yun Chang'an a plate of deer trotter meat and returned home.
