A lucky cat fell from the sky.

Chapter 756 Unable to Go to Yi Qi Pavilion

After adjusting for a while, he looked around and saw that he was surrounded by a plain.

It's as if you've just arrived in a new universe, and you'll usually appear on a flat plain.

I don't know if someone deliberately built the passage in this place, or if there was some other reason.

In short, standing on this plain and looking around, the view is indeed boundless.

Just as Wu Cheng was about to figure out the direction and decide to look carefully before proceeding, he saw a large number of people walking towards him.

He quickly changed his mind and decided to take the bored faceless beast into his small world.

But once the thought was sent out, it was discovered that the small world ring could not be opened either.

This is getting a bit complicated.

If this small world ring doesn't work here, then everyone inside the small world ring won't be able to get out.

Qian Yimao and the Ninth Princess both need to come out now. If they can't come out now, I won't be able to enter the Qi Pavilion. The Ninth Princess is alright, but Qian Yimao is my key to entering the Qi Pavilion.

As he was thinking this, those people came over and surrounded Wu Cheng.

The leader raised his hand, and a blue net covered Wu Cheng.

Wu Cheng tried to escape, but the net was too fast, and he was caught in it before he could react.

The blue net tightened, trapping Wu Cheng and the bored faceless beast inside.

What's happening here?

Wu Cheng was also secretly shocked, wondering how he could have encountered such a thing so soon after arriving.

The faceless beasts, on the other hand, both seemed quite calm.

He didn't struggle at all while in the net, and even comforted Wu Cheng, saying, "Don't be afraid, boss, we have a way."

Before Wu Cheng could ask them what their solution was, those people came over, and one of them asked Wu Cheng through the net, "Did you come from the lower universe?"

"Exactly. Gentlemen, could you please release the net for me? I'd like to come out and have a chat with you all to explain things."

"No need to explain. Since we haven't received orders from above, this constitutes illegal entry, so you have to come back with us for investigation."

"Brother, the investigation is fine, but you have to let me out first. Otherwise, it's quite troublesome for you to carry me like this, isn't it?"

"Carry you? You wish!" one of the guys said, whistling. A large lizard came running from a distance.

They tied Wu Cheng to the lizard's tail, and everyone jumped onto the lizard.

He urged the lizard on, and it ran wildly, kicking up dust. Wu Cheng, who was behind it, was covered in dust, as if he had just eaten a fart.

As Wu Cheng was being dragged along, a thousand alpacas raced through his mind.

He had never encountered such treatment before. He was there to do business, so why hadn't he received any notification from above?

It seems like they contacted the higher-ups through Qingli before.

Thinking of this, he asked Qingli again.

Qing Li, however, saw through everything and said calmly, "Do you think Yi Qi Ge is a monolithic entity? In reality, Qian Yimao is probably from a certain faction. If you take down the people they placed under you, do you think they'll treat you well?"

"Is there such a troublesome thing? Doesn't that mean I've offended a faction before I even got here? Otherwise, I shouldn't have joined the One Qi Pavilion."

"Now you don't have the chance to join. The matter of Qian Yimao colluding with the New Humans is not a big deal, but it's not a small one either. You don't have any evidence, and since the matter has been settled and hasn't caused any greater impact, Qian Yimao's faction will naturally try to cover it up. Bringing him up now is undoubtedly like breaking the lid, and they'll definitely try to sabotage you."

"If I can't go to Yiqi Pavilion, what can I do?"

"It's okay if you don't go to the One Qi Pavilion. There are other sects you can join. You have multiple elemental crystal cores and light and dark elemental attributes. It would be easy for you to join a sect. However, you have to get through this hurdle first."

"What hurdles lie ahead of us?"

"Didn't you see that?" Qing Li said with an air of utter despair. "You're probably going to be sent to work in the mines."

Mining?

What kind of minerals are needed to mine in this universe?

"Of course it's Yuanli crystals. What this universe needs is Yuanli, which is the power of elements. Generally speaking, each sect has several Yuanli mines. These Yuanli mines each have their own specialization. For example, the Yiqi Pavilion mines wind elemental Yuan stones. These wind elemental Yuan stones can help the disciples of the Yiqi Pavilion improve, and they can also be used for refining weapons. They have quite a few uses."

"But once you get there, you'll definitely be eating and sleeping poorly, and you won't even have any freedom. You'll probably have to work there for at least several decades. They absolutely won't let you leave unless you can prove yourself in the mining."

"How can that be called proving yourself?"

“Cultivating elemental power is actually quite similar to cultivating spiritual power. However, the realms here are much simpler, divided into ten ranks, from rank one to rank ten. You have just arrived in this universe. Even if your element is pure, with the purest elemental crystal core, you are still just a mortal, not even as good as a rank one apprentice. You need to strengthen yourself step by step. If you can break through to rank two while mining, you can become a small foreman in the mining area. And once you can advance to rank three, you will have the opportunity to leave the mining area.”

How long does it take for a mortal to reach the second level?

"I don't know the specifics, but it could take anywhere from three to five years to ten years. After all, you don't have much of a chance to get involved in cultivation in the mining area. There are no resources, and you're subject to even more restrictions."

"What if we join a sect?"

"The sect has a special training program, teachers to teach, and resources to provide. It takes about three to five months for a skilled first-level apprentice to advance to the second level."

"Ten times the speed?"

"Of course, but who told you you weren't lucky? You offended a faction within the One Qi Pavilion, so you deserve this punishment."

Wu Cheng sighed.

Meanwhile, the bored faceless beast smiled at Wu Cheng, and three words suddenly appeared on its face: "Don't be afraid."

Wu Cheng asked the bored faceless beast in a low voice, "What, do you have a way to leave here?"

"I'll see in a bit."

Seeing that the bored faceless beast didn't seem too worried, Wu Cheng calmed down a lot. Anyway, there was no other way now. Coming to this Purple Abyss Universe was like getting into university after high school. All the past glory and grades in high school were wiped clean, and now he needed to start learning from scratch.

He is not capable of competing with any of the people in this universe right now, not even the lowest-level trash; he might not be confident he could defeat them.

The giant lizard dragged Wu Cheng and the bored faceless beast along, but fortunately Wu Cheng had excellent defense and was even more impervious to blades and spears after being enhanced by the earth element.

Soon the large lizard arrived at a lake in the flat area.

It led everyone towards the lake. Despite its enormous size, this lizard could float on the water.

Just as the lizard reached the middle of the lake, it suddenly moved. A huge, strange fish emerged from the bottom of the water, bit off the lizard's tail, and dragged it back down to the bottom. The fish was so fast that the people who had taken Wu Cheng away didn't have time to react and lost him.
