Chapter 218 respective preparations
The young man who just issued the order was the leader of the Xingchen Sect, Liu Zongping. This man had already reached the peak of the foundation building. He was not only the person with the highest cultivation level, but also one of the most promising people in the Xingchen Sect.
Liu Zongping not only had a high level of cultivation, but also had a very handsome appearance. Although the cultivators of the Xingchen Sect looked very young, their real age was actually not much different from that of the cultivators of other sects. The reason why they looked young was that many of the Xingchen Sect's techniques contained some anti-aging effects.
After a long time, the yellow-clothed man outside the valley never saw the spirit beast he had sent out to explore the way back. His face, which was originally quite relaxed, slowly began to show a trace of worry. The two old men in green shirts beside him also felt something was wrong and hurried forward to ask.
The yellow-clothed man checked and found that the spirit beast contract in his body was still there. He could only explain that it might be because the valley was too big and the red-faced fox forgot the time because of playing.
After waiting for a while, there was still no movement at the entrance of the valley. The man in yellow could no longer sit still. This red-faced fox had been with him for decades. Although he would occasionally go AWOL, this was the first time he had encountered a situation where it never came back. If it weren't for the contract he had signed with the spirit beast, he would have thought that his spirit beast had died in the valley.
"My two Taoist friends, the red-faced fox has not come back. It may be trapped in there. Should we go in and see what's going on?"
"Daoyou Li, don't be so impulsive. Even the red-faced fox is trapped. There must be a very powerful restriction inside. I actually felt something was wrong at the entrance of the valley just now. Fortunately, we didn't go in directly, otherwise it wouldn't be the red-faced fox that was trapped inside." Seeing the man in yellow standing up and wanting to go into the valley to take a look, the old man in green and another short monk hurried forward to stop him.
"After all, I spent many years cultivating the red-faced fox. How can I bear to abandon it like this? If you two fellow Taoists don't want to go together, why don't you wait for me here for a while?" The man in yellow seemed very anxious, and he was about to move forward while talking.
Seeing that he still wanted to enter the valley, the old man in green clothes persuaded him loudly: "It's just a spiritual beast anyway. If it's gone, it's gone. If you sacrifice your life for a spiritual beast, it will be a loss. Fellow Taoists have already reached the foundation-building stage, why are you still so confused?"
After hearing this, the man in yellow finally stopped and showed a thoughtful expression.
After pondering for a while, he finally calmed down slowly, sighed and turned around slowly: "Thank you for your reminder, Brother Feng, I was a little impulsive just now. If it is true as you said, there are powerful restrictions in this valley, what should we do now?"
"Brother Li, it's good to think it through! It's not easy for us to reach the stage of foundation building as casual cultivators. Don't easily put yourself in danger for the sake of material things, don't you think!
Although the spiritual objects in this valley are good, the level of our formations is very average. If we really trigger the powerful restrictions in it, it will be difficult to get out. Let's go to another place to find our own opportunities. What do you think!" The old man in green said calmly.
"I don't have any opinion. Why don't we listen to Brother Feng!"
Seeing that the other two people except him had a unified idea, the man in yellow could only look at the valley reluctantly, and then nodded.
No matter how many spiritual objects there are in the secret realm, they are limited. Everyone knows that it will be harder to find good spiritual objects as time goes by. After finally finding such a valley with abundant spiritual energy, no one would be willing to leave empty-handed.
After discussing for a while, the three of them turned around and left the place together, disappearing on the other side of the valley.
Shortly after they left, several disciples of the Xingchen Sect in white clothes quietly walked out from the depths of the valley.
The yellow-clothed man and his friends didn't know that they had saved their lives this time. If they were still hesitant and stayed at the entrance of the valley, they would have a hard time getting away.
——
On the other side of the secret realm, in a pool where two streams converged, several huge monster corpses were floating in the pool. Some parts of the corpses had begun to rot, and the whole pool was filled with a very strange smell of blood.
More than 20 monks wearing Lingyin Sect costumes were resting by the pool. They had gathered here in the past two days after the secret realm was opened. Among them was the young man who had taken several spiritual medicines from the second-level demon crocodile territory that Song Qingming had seen before.
At this moment, his expression was very relaxed, and he was still whispering with his fellow disciples about the various demon beasts he had encountered along the way in the past two days.
At this time, a rustling sound suddenly came from the dense forest beside the pool, as if something was approaching here. The faces of the people at the scene who heard the sound changed, and they quickly turned their eyes to that direction. Two people who were closer had taken out their magic weapons and carefully approached the location where the sound came from.
Just as they walked over, a tall and thin man with an ugly appearance suddenly jumped out of the forest and looked at everyone with a smile.
"Two brothers, what are you doing!" Seeing that there were two fellow disciples holding magic weapons not far in front of him, the tall and thin man was frightened and froze his smiling face, and asked in confusion.
"Damn! Junior brother Li Long, you're already here and you don't dare to fly with your sword. No wonder you're here so slowly. Speaking of which, you're really sneaky and vulgar. If you show up later, maybe you'll be late again. We really might kill you as a monster." After teasing him with a smile, the two put away the magic weapons in their hands, pointed at the people behind them, and led the tall and thin man to the edge of the pool.
After saying hello to many of his classmates on the way, the tall and thin man came to a huge stone by the pool and cupped his hands to a middle-aged man who was meditating above.
"I've met Senior Brother Wu."
"We haven't all arrived yet, please wait here for a while. We may leave at any time, so don't walk around for the time being!" The middle-aged man nodded to him calmly and then gave him a kind instruction.
The tall and thin man nodded and found a seat by himself to sit down.
As soon as the middle-aged man finished speaking, after the tall and thin man retreated, a beautiful young woman next to him suddenly leaned over again and said softly:
"Senior Brother Wu, we have been waiting here for nearly three days, and most of the people who came in from the gate have arrived. Why don't we go ahead, so as not to be overtaken by people from the Star Gate and Xiaoyao Sect.
Everyone brought the jade butterflies specially refined by the sect before coming in. The remaining brothers who have not yet arrived probably came in too far away. As long as we move a little slower, they will definitely be able to keep up. "
Faced with the woman's suggestion, Senior Brother Wu did not answer immediately. Instead, he stood up first, scanned the surrounding disciples, and then turned back and said to her: "Don't be too impatient, Neigu is not like that." It's easy to get in. Even if they meet up faster than us, they may not be able to get in before us. There are still two hours left before the agreed three days to meet up. No matter whether the remaining people can arrive or not, we must set off on time! "
