“Yuan Qing, what’s on your mind? You seem deep in thought,” Zhou Yun Feng, who was sitting nearby, asked. He laughed and lightly patted his shoulder.
In front of his senior brother, Li Yuan Qing didn’t hide anything, “Brother, I was wondering why that cautious lad would take the risk to enter the secret realm.’
“Perhaps this is the decision he made out of caution,” Zhou Yun Feng smiled and said. He also felt some emotion. When he first took Lin Yi into the inner sect, he was only at the fourth stage of Qi Refining, and now he’s already at the eighth stage.
Then, as if something had occurred to him, he spoke with seriousness, “By the way, Yuan Qing, don’t privately ask him to look for certain spiritual medicines and spirit grasses. Let him follow his own plan and cultivate in the secret realm.’
“Brother…” Li Yuan Qing, who had been expressionless, suddenly seemed a bit anxious. Considering the lad’s cautiousness, there was a high chance that he would survive and find the medicine that could remedy his foundation.
“There’s no need to say anything more. Let’s leave it all to fate,” Zhou Yun Feng said calmly.
He thought that this young man’s future achievements would definitely not be limited to simply Foundation Building. Therefore, allowing him to cultivate on his own in the Dan God Secret Realm, without being assigned specific tasks, was the best choice.
Elsewhere, Lin Yi and a couple of others stood atop the Golden Sword. They were flying and quickly saw the silhouette of Liu Yun Peak.
Like Golden Sword Peak, Liu Yun Peak also floated in mid-air, surrounded by several towering mountains. On top of one of the peaks, a white waterfall flowed like clouds, pouring down springs.
Surrounding clouds and mist swirled and shifted, making Liu Yun Peak appear and disappear, imbuing it with a hint of mystery.
He had gathered some information beforehand. In addition to the regular confirmation of the roster for the Secret Realm, Gold Sword Zen Ren brought them to Liu Yun Hall to meet the Sect Master, Green Jade Zen Ren.
The more important task was verification of identity, preventing anyone from improperly using another’s identity or allowing evil characters to infiltrate the Liu Yun Sect.
The Green Jade Treasure Mirror, possessed by Green Jade Zen Ren, holds incredible power. Although its combat power may not surpass the Golden
Sword, it excels in other areas and is one of the top five treasures amongst the
Ten Major Sects.
The light from the mirror can reveal true or false. If the mirror light illuminates an individual, they immediately become frozen, unable to move.
This was what Lin Yi was looking forward to the most. Whether he could enter the Dan God Secret Realm would depend on whether the effectiveness of the
Path of Survivor’s Realm Concealment could deceive the Green Jade Treasure Mirror.
If, under the mirror’s illumination, his cultivation level remained at the eighth stage, then he should be able to trick the secret realm’s detection method.
As they were about to reach Liu Yun Peak, a massive wine gourd flew over, flying parallel to the Golden Sword.
An elderly cultivator with a large belly, dressed in a loose robe, was lying on the gourd at the moment. He waved over at Gold Sword Zen Ren and said, “Little Gold, have you decided on the candidates for the Secret Realm?”
“Pay our respects to Drunken Immortal…” Seeing this, Lin Yi and the others promptly bowed.
The young cultivator on the wine gourd also greeted, “Pay my respects to Gold Sword Zen Ren.’
Lin Yi looked at the Drunken Immortal. This was the second time he had seen this Golden Core Real Person. It was said that he was very unrestrained and candid. He loved his liquor and had only taken five disciples under his wing.
He heard that Green Jade Zen Ren had once offered him the position of Deputy Sect Master to manage the daily affairs of the sect but he had rejected it. The reason was that it would interfere with his drinking.
“Wine Dao friend, there are some things that aren’t necessary to say,” Gold Sword Zen Ren replied indifferently.
“Hahaha, I like your personality,” Drunken Immortal burst into hearty laughter. He then took out a wine gourd, poured some wine into his mouth, and shook it at Gold Sword Zen Ren, “Want a sip?”
Seeing that Gold Sword Zen Ren ignored him, he didn’t get angry. He shook the gourd at Lin Yi and the others, “Would you like a sip?”
The young cultivator sitting on the gourd already had his hand on his forehead in an exasperated manner.
Lin Yi and the others hurriedly gestured in denial, thanked the Drunken Immortal for his kindness, and bowed. Even though they all wanted to try the wine of a Golden Core Real Person, it wasn’t appropriate to do so in this situation.
Gold Sword Zen Ren and Drunken Immortal both landed on the Ferry Platform of Liu Yun Peak. At this moment, several Foundation Building cultivators were waiting. Seeing the two, they promptly saluted with respect, “Master Uncle of the Golden Sword, Drunken Immortal, the Sect Master is waiting for you in the hall.”
Both of them nodded and led their disciples towards Liu Yun Hall, encountering no other Golden Core Real Persons on the way.
Lin Yi understood some of the reasons for this. Each Golden Core Peak tested their disciples in different ways, so the time taken for each one to meet the Sect Master and verify their identities varied as well.
On Liu Yun Peak, he could sense a very strong spiritual energy, enough to satisfy the cultivation of the Foundation Building Realm. As expected of the core area of the sect, it was probably the place with the richest Spirit Vein.
Soon, they arrived in front of a majestic and grand palace. The enormous plaque above was formed by words outlined in clouds, it read ‘Liu Yun Hall’.
Upon entering the hall, Lin Yi sensed an even more intense spiritual energy. It was so strong that he almost felt faint. The spiritual energy in this place was probably enough to satisfy the cultivation of a Golden Core Real Person.
A few other Qi Refinement Realm disciples seemed even worse off than him.
At that moment, the Drunken Immortal chuckled, snapping his fingers. Several rays of spiritual light entered their bodies, bringing an instant feeling of coolness to their minds and erasing any traces of dizziness.
He then turned to Green Jade Zen Ren up ahead and said, “Sect Master, such a large hall has so few people in it. Isn’t it a waste to release such dense spiritual energy?”
“The spiritual energy circulates within the hall, there is no waste.” Green Jade Authentic Man responded with a smile.
“Sect Master, these five are the ones selected by Golden Sword Peak to enter the Secret Realm,” Gold Sword Zen Ren saluted and said calmly.
The Drunken Immortal shook his head, “It’s not a moment to be idle, let’s get straight to the point. This is really boring, Sect Master, these are the ones I have selected from Wine Immortal Peak to enter the Secret Realm.” Green Jade Zen Ren nodded, “You can all state your names now.”
“Disciple of Wine Immortal Peak, Shen Hao Lin, pays his respects to the Sect Master.”
“Disciple of Golden Sword Peak, Xie Jing Xing, pays his respects to the Sect Master.”
“Disciple of Golden Sword Peak, Li Qin Yan…”
Lin Yi, standing at the end, bowed to Green Jade Zen Ren above and said,
“Disciple of Golden Sword Peak, Lin Yi, pays his respects to the Sect Master.”
Green Jade Zen Ren glanced at each of them and finally landed his gaze on Lin Yi. This disciple seemed somewhat inconspicuous, easily overlooked in passing.
“Good, all of you are excellent disciples. All those who enter the Secret Realm must be exposed to the light of the Green Jade Treasure Mirror. First, it leaves a ray of light within your body which can form a protective shield when you’re in danger. Second, it allows you to quickly find fellow sect disciples in the Secret Realm. Third, it is to prevent fratricide among disciples.”
Lin Yi was taken aback. The exposure to the Green Jade Treasure Mirror had more uses than what he had learned by inquiry. Wasn’t this the equivalent of real-time control of the disciples’ actions within the Secret Realm?
“However, in certain mysterious areas of the Secret Realm, the mirror light will not be able to guide the way. If you are unfortunate enough to end up in one of those places, all you can do is try your best to get out quickly. This way, you can reunite with other sect disciples faster.”
“Alright, now each of you come forth and receive the light of the mirror.” Green Jade Zen Ren slightly waved his hand, and an ancient green treasure mirror appeared in midair, projecting a gentle ray of light in front of everyone.
At this moment, the disciple from Wine Immortal Peak was the first to step forward and be illuminated bv the mirror light. Bevond his reflection. two rows of small characters appeared on the mirror – one was his cultivation level, the other his spiritual root.
“Complete Ninth Stage of Qi Refining, top-grade spiritual root. Very well, you may step back.”
“After being shone upon by the mirror light, a green mark will appear on your right hand. By igniting it with spiritual power, it can guide you to the closest fellow sect disciple.”
The disciple slowly withdrew from the mirror light, raised his right hand, and a pale green mark appeared on his palm.
Next, the other disciples each received the mirror light in turn. The cultivation of everyone was at the Ninth Stage of Qi Refining and had top-grade spiritual roots. There wasn’t even a single one with a medium-grade spiritual root.
Finally, it was Lin Yi’s turn. He, with his usual demeanor, stepped into the mirror light..
