Fantasy: Immortality Begins with Absorbing Demons

Chapter 508 Assembly

“I’ve kept you here on purpose, you should know why…” Zhong Yunxiu looked at the two of them with a hint of appreciation.

Xiao Zhong and Han Yi are the disciples of the Nine-Bend Academy that she currently favors the most.

She was particularly satisfied with the latter, both in terms of his cultivation speed and his interpersonal skills.

"Is it about the secret realm?" Han Yi answered softly.

“Not bad.” Zhong Yunxiu nodded.

"Master, rest assured. I have been into similar secret realms before, and I will definitely bring Junior Brother Han back safe and sound."

Xiao Zhong, having just assumed the position of the new chief, naturally took on all the responsibilities for this matter. "It's not that dangerous..." Zhong Yunxiu smiled, "This secret realm is simply an environment created by either the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth or by human intervention or natural conditions."

This Hundred Flowers Secret Realm is actually a secret realm artificially created by the Myriad Flowers Palace. It has been explored countless times, and the treasures inside are actually only a few kinds…”

This wasn't the first time Han Yi had heard the term "secret realm."

Back in An Yan City, he attended an auction and got involved because of a secret realm key.

But this was the first time he had ever heard of such a detailed explanation as Zhong Yunxiu's.

At that moment, he also pricked up his ears and carefully remembered it.

After listening for a while, he also seemed to understand.

This Hundred Flowers Secret Realm was actually a secret realm artificially created by the founder of the Myriad Flowers Palace through some kind of grand formation.

Therefore, except for a few very specific locations, most of the area has already been explored and there is no danger.

Therefore, the secret realm array will be opened once every two years, allowing people to enter and harvest the rare flowers, exotic plants, and natural treasures growing within.

The Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm, is where various rare medicinal herbs needed for martial arts cultivation grow.

The Hundred Flowers Secret Realm is divided into inner and outer layers by a great formation.

Only disciples of the Myriad Flowers Palace can truly enter the inner layer.

The outer layer, compared to the inner layer, has barren soil and a harsh environment, where mostly ordinary medicinal herbs grow. There are also monsters lurking there, requiring avoidance and clearing.

This is also one of the reasons why Wanhua Palace chose to sell access to the outer layer, allowing external martial artists to clear out the monsters for free.

Otherwise, if this continues for too long, and a being like a demon king were to emerge, it could very likely damage the great formation.

"You don't need to worry. The monsters inside are harvested every two years, so there's no danger. Here, you two take this."

Zhong Yunxiu took out two booklets from her bosom and, with a gentle wave of her hand, presented them to Han Yi and Xiao Zhong respectively.

Han Yi took it and saw that it contained records of the various strengths and characteristics of the Cold Yin Nine-Bend Palm, as well as the various strengthening medicinal herbs and demon beast catalysts required.

In addition to these, there is also a topographical map of the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm that records the types of medicinal herbs and the distribution of monster strength.

"Remember this. With your combined strength, there shouldn't be any problems."

Zhong Yunxiu smiled: "Even if the danger is not great, just remember one thing: survival is the top priority in everything."

The items in this Hundred Flowers Secret Realm are precious, but not unique. In the market, you can always buy them by spending a little more effort and money.

Therefore, don't easily get into conflicts with others over trivial matters. Remember, the most dangerous beings in this secret realm are always martial artists on your level. "We will obey your orders!" Han Yi and his companion clasped their hands in a respectful gesture.

"Alright, you guys go back now and get some rest. We'll all gather and set off tomorrow."

Zhong Yunxiu waved her hand, seemingly feeling a little tired.

Han Yi and his companion then withdrew from the main hall.

On their way back to their lodgings, they exchanged a few pleasantries. It was nothing more than exchanging words of mutual support and urging each other to keep a low profile, before returning to their respective rooms to await the next day's meeting.

......

......

The next morning, it was just dawn.

More than a dozen people have already arrived at Jingtian Manor, Huahu Villa.

The number of places in the seven branches of Jingtian Academy varies, ranging from three or four to one.

Han Yi and Xiao Zhong also arrived early in the morning.

"Big brother?!" A voice filled with surprise suddenly rang out from behind Han Yi.

"Meng Ren? You got a spot in Mingfeng Academy this time?"

Han Yi turned around and saw his younger brother, Meng Ren, whom he hadn't seen for many days.

“If I don’t go, then the others in the courtyard will be even less likely to go,” Meng Ren chuckled, a smug look on his face.

"Alright, it's fine to say this among yourselves, but don't be so arrogant outside."

Han Yi looked at his smug expression and couldn't help but give him a sharp rap on the head.

Come to think of it, the situation at Mingfeng Courtyard is somewhat similar to that at Jiuqu Courtyard.

Most of the disciples in Mingfeng Academy are female, and their training leans towards support and healing. In terms of actual combat strength, they are probably no match for Jiuqu Academy.

That is, Meng Ren was an oddball who possessed the Ironwood Body and had formidable combat power, and he managed to turn a supportive martial art into a physical external martial art.

After waiting a little while, once everyone had arrived, an elder who was leading the team slowly stepped forward and explained some important points.

Most of the topics were safety-related, such as survival, seeking help, and escape—the usual issues. The emphasis was on fellow disciples helping each other, being united and loving.

Although the Hundred Flowers Secret Realm has been developed for many years and is basically safe, there have been occasional instances of disciples being killed or injured.

The elder's surname was Kang. He was a middle-aged man with a serious appearance. He spoke in a rigid and formulaic manner, and the content he shared was unoriginal, which immediately made people drowsy.

Of course, what the disciples cared about most was the method of entering and exiting the secret realm.

Elder Kang explained it in detail.

Ideally, each disciple also received a number of props.

Items like distress fireworks, first-aid supplies, and collection bags—things that might be needed within the secret realm. These things aren't free.

In return, each disciple must hand over 30% of their earnings from the secret realm to the sect.

Actually, this isn't excessive; it's just a matter of cost considerations.

After all, the slots for the secret realm also require the entire sect to spend resources to purchase them from the Myriad Flower Palace.

After Elder Kang finished his long-winded explanation of all the key points, it was already a bright and sunny day. He didn't say anything more, waved his hand, and led the team to set off.

The group quickly left Jingtian Village, traversing mountains and valleys with the speed of a nimble deer leaping through the forest.

Compared to the official road, this direct route through the mountains is shorter and faster, but also more dangerous.

However, among these dozen or so people, the weakest were all at least at the fourth level of true cultivation. With their combined aura and power, there were no foolish monsters among them. Even if there were, they would only be easy prey.
