Chapter 520: Enter the secret realm and ward off evil with golden thunder!
Ziyun Gorge.
The entire canyon is hundreds of miles long, with towering mountains and broken cliffs on both sides.
Under the mottled light and shadow, the steep stone walls seem to be covered with a flowing purple gauze, like clouds and mist.
With the opening of the Ziyou Secret Realm, human figures can be seen from time to time in the canyon.
These people are all monks, some walking, some driving magical instruments, and some riding magical beasts.
Only a very small number of people travel in groups of three or five and ride on spirit boats.
"Hoohoho-"
Just then, a low roar like thunder sounded.
I saw three terrifying black figures, with faint light flowing, riding on the clouds and mist, pulling a huge azure blue spirit boat towards me.
"Hiss, these are three second-level monsters!"
"What kind of force is this that is so arrogant!"
"Keep your voice down. If someone hears you, you might offend them."
"A three-headed dragon monster? What a big deal!"
"Lu? Which Lu family is this?"
When the monks traveling along the way saw this scene, they were all horrified, stopped to the side, and walked cautiously.
Especially the cultivators who were flying in flying instruments or riding spirit beasts quickly landed to the side to avoid being frightened by the aura of this second-level powerful demon.
"This is Ziyun Gorge. Once we pass through it, we will reach the Ziyou Secret Realm."
On the spirit boat pulled by three black water dragons, Lu Ping'an said to Lu Qingxuan, a member of the Lu family.
After saying that, he looked at the three black water dragons and scolded them in a deep voice: "Behave yourself and don't scare people."
Hearing Lu Ping'an's words, the three-headed black water dragon roared, and the terrifying power emanating from its body suddenly subsided a lot. It was filled with clouds and mist, and roared towards the direction of the Ziyou Secret Realm.
Not long after, three black water dragons crossed the canyon and arrived at the altar at the end.
At this time, the four sides of the altar in the secret realm were scattered with monks, nearly a thousand of them.
"so many people."
"Purple Mysterious Land."
"We haven't gathered enough people yet, and many forces haven't arrived yet."
On the spirit boat, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Qingzhushan and other Lu family members were all surprised when they saw the scene before them.
Even though they already knew that the Ziyou Secret Realm was extremely lively.
But never before had so many late Qi Refining and Foundation Building cultivators gathered together at once.
"Three second-level monsters! What kind of force is this!"
"Lu family, which Lu family?"
"This person is just a foundation-building cultivator, why is he so grand?"
"Why does this look a bit like the dragon that the ancestor of the Lu family in Bihu Mountain used when he first married his wife!?"
At the same time, the monks on all sides of the altar saw the three-headed black water dragons in the sky, and their expressions were suspicious and surprised.
Although the Ziyou Secret Realm gathers almost all the forces of the Jiang Kingdom.
But except for a few Jindan-level forces, the other foundation-building families, and even the fake-dan families, all travel in a very ordinary manner and are not too ostentatious.
If Lu Ping'an was a fake Dan cultivator, it would be natural and normal in their eyes.
But for a cultivator who has established his foundation, such a pomp and display is somewhat unworthy of his position.
"This person is Lu Ping'an, the eldest son of the Lu family of Bihu Mountain. Although he is only in the middle stage of foundation building, his body refining has reached the quasi-third level, comparable to the fake Dan Zhenren!"
“What? He is Lu Ping’an, who suppressed Sima Tong, the ancestor of the Sima family, and became famous in one battle!”
“I heard that this boy is extremely gifted. Before he was a hundred years old, his physical training had reached the quasi-third level. With this kind of physical training talent, as long as he doesn’t die young, he will most likely become a third-level physical cultivator!”
"I didn't expect that Bihu Mountain would attach so much importance to this Ziyou Secret Realm and directly send this person here."
"This seems to be the first time that Bihu Mountain has participated in the Ziyou Secret Realm, so we will naturally take it seriously."
There are many clan cultivators and foundation-building cultivators from the Qingyun realm here.
Seeing Lu Ping'an on the spirit boat, they immediately recognized him and talked about it in a low voice.
Many other people who had never seen Lu Ping'an but had heard of his name also looked at him curiously.
"Friend Lu, you can come here."
A powerful person saw that Lu Ping'an seemed to be looking for a seat and immediately invited him.
Locations outside secret realms like this one also have some requirements.
The location is good and conspicuous, which will make it much easier to recruit monks and purchase elixirs and natural treasures.
Seeing this, Lu Ping'an saw a familiar foundation-building cultivator, smiled and nodded, signaling the Black Water Dragon to land.
Upon seeing this, the monks nearby immediately made way for a large area of space with a respectful look.
"My name is Li Yunjie, from Baiya Mountain, nice to meet you, Fellow Daoist Lu."
Someone immediately came forward and greeted Lu Pingan politely.
"These are the heroes of Bihu Mountain, right? They are all outstanding people. When we enter the secret realm, we can take care of each other."
"Hello, Fellow Daoist Lu. I have heard of your great name for a long time. After meeting you today, I can see that your reputation is indeed well-deserved!"
Not only the monastic forces that are friendly with Bihu Mountain.
Many family forces that had never dealt with each other before also came forward to greet and exchange a few polite words.
After all, the two families have no grudges against each other, so it’s not a bad thing to take this opportunity to get to know each other.
Moreover, if the children of the two families meet each other and enter the secret realm later, they can avoid killing each other and even cooperate with each other.
However, there were also some forces that looked coldly at the Lu family and others.
"Humph!"
Lu Qingyan, who was wearing silver armor and had a beautiful face, saw someone in one direction looking at her with an unfriendly expression. She snorted coldly, not willing to be outdone.
This force is none other than the Sima family of Xuanwu Ridge.
The feud between the two families is almost impossible to resolve.
It goes without saying that once they meet each other after entering the secret realm, they will inevitably confront each other head-on and fight to the death.
"Sister Yan, you have to be careful. Forces like the Sima family, the Jin family, the Yuan family, and even the Beastmaster Xu family may take action against our family."
Seeing this, Lu Qingxuan reminded in a low voice.
Although the only families with the deepest grudge against the Lu family are the Sima family of Xuanwu Ridge and the Jin family of Jinlong Ridge.
But a big tree attracts the wind.
The rise of Bihu Mountain is so fierce that it has threatened the interests of many families.
If given the opportunity, these forces may all take action against the Lu family.
After all, cultivators at the ninth level of Qi Refining are the backbone of any family force.
Every death is a great loss.
"rest assured."
"we know."
Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha, Lu Yunfei and others nodded to each other.
There was no need for Lu Qingxuan to say more about this matter, as they all knew it.
Even if they encounter the Jin family, the Sima family, or the forces affiliated with the two families, they will strike first.
It has become an unspoken rule for the major family forces to fight each other in the Ziyou Secret Realm.
After the greetings, Lu Qingxuan placed the sign he had prepared in advance in front.
It means that the Lu family of Bihu Mountain is recruiting guest officials with special skills to serve as servants, and purchasing elixirs and natural treasures at high prices.
With the grand display supported by three black water dragons, many independent cultivators came to inquire about the requirements.
When facing the visitors, Lu Qingxuan responded gently and generously, explaining his own conditions.
Time passed little by little.
The remaining cultivators who came, except for a small number of independent cultivators, were basically from large families.
Because only big families can get the timing right.
At this time, three second-level top-level unicorn horses pulled a jade chariot surrounded by rosy clouds and came across the sky, attracting many people to talk.
"Wu Xing Wang Family! I heard that the Wang Family was declining and the ancestor didn't have much time left, but looking at this battle, there's no sign of decline at all."
"Of course. A lean camel is bigger than a horse. For a family like the Wang family, even if the Dan-forming ability is broken, the fake Dan Zhenren can still maintain it for several generations."
"But once the ancestor of the Wang family dies, whether the Five Elements Mountain can be defended is another matter."
Many people talked about it.
Seeing this, Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha and others looked at the Five Elements Royal Family with infinite longing in their eyes.
Jindan family!
The ultimate goal of all family forces!
Once promoted to an aristocratic family, one will be equivalent to a local lord, independent and autonomous, and no longer need to pay tribute to the immortal sect!
Like the Ziyou Secret Realm, one can be high above others.
Not long after, people from the Beast Tamer Xu family arrived.
The Xu family's power is even greater than that of the Wang family. Amidst the rolling clouds and mist, a purple ferocious bird exudes terrifying ferocity, pulling a brilliant divine ship.
The mighty aura revealed by this ferocious bird made countless people in the field tremble.
Even Lu Ping'an's Black Water Dragon was trembling.
This is a quasi-third-level monster.
Only one step away from becoming a third-rank demon king!
"The Beast Taming Xu family is so overbearing!"
"But they have the confidence. In the early years, the ancestor of the Xu family directly smashed the gate of the Five Elements Wang family, and the Wang family didn't dare to say a word."
"The Xu family not only has several sacred beasts that protect the family, but also has water snakes and fire crows to suppress the family's foundation. They can be said to be the number one family in our Jiang country!"
"But I heard that two fake Dan Zhenren died in the Xu family before."
As the beast tamer Xu family arrived, some people began to whisper about the Xu family's gossip.
"Hoohoho-"
In the sky, the three-headed unicorn of the Five Elements King family roared and screamed in response to the provocation of the ferocious bird of the Xu family. The sound was like rumbling thunder, and it set off layers of rays of light.
"Wow!"
The ferocious birds of the Xu family, the beastmaster, were not willing to be outdone, and the two sides began to engage in a fierce battle of energies.
"Xu's son, if you want to fight, let's do it now!"
The Fake Dan Patriarch on the Wang family's jade chariot took a step forward, with Fake Dan-level magic power surging, and said in a cold voice.
Although their Five Elements Wang family is not as good as the Beast Taming Xu family.
But the loser does not lose the formation.
In the early years, his family was disgraced by the ancestor of the Xu family and became a laughing stock.
If we continue to give in now, we will be laughed at even more!
"Why is Patriarch Wang so angry?"
Xu Jiajiadan stood with his hands behind his back and said lightly.
Although he had broken through to the fake elixir not long ago, his strength was no match for the Wang family's fake elixir in front of him.
But with the quasi-third-level monster equipped by his family, he was not afraid of the opponent.
However, it was impossible for him to fight with the other party here, so he signaled the ferocious bird to put away its mighty aura.
"Humph!"
Seeing this, Wang Jia Jiadan snorted coldly and did not pose any aggressive threat.
The ancestor of the Xu family stood on the Shenzhou, overlooking the other forces below like an eagle's eyes.
When he saw where Lu Ping'an was, his eyes narrowed slightly, and then looked at the Black Water Dragon.
"Tao soldiers! The Lu family of Bihu Mountain actually has a method to train Tao soldiers!"
Xu Yinglong was born into the Xu family, a family of beastmen, and possessed the art of Taoist warfare.
Judging from the very similar appearance and aura of the three black water dragons, it was instantly determined that they were bred through some kind of Taoist weapon breeding method.
Moreover, this method of training is very unusual.
They are no worse than their own water snake soldiers and fire crow soldiers.
Even better by a few points.
"This Bihu Mountain is really overestimating its own capabilities. A family with no accumulated foundation is actually dreaming of training such a high-level Taoist soldier without considering its own strengths."
"However, this method of fighting is somewhat similar to my water snake fighting method."
After sneering and mocking in his heart, he thought about finding an opportunity to seize this method of training soldiers.
After all, his Xu family, a beast taming family, is well-known throughout the world for its foundation in beast taming.
This method of training Taoist soldiers can not only be used to train Taoist soldiers and increase their foundation, but can also be used for verification and reference.
"Ok?"
Lu Ping felt something in his heart and looked up at Xu Yinglong in the sky.
Seeing him looking at his black water dragon, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"hehe."
Xu Yinglong and Lu Ping'an glanced at each other calmly and then looked away.
Although Lu Ping'an has a record of suppressing Sima Tong, the ancestor of the Sima family.
But in his opinion, the quasi-third level body refining is only comparable to the strength of his own spirit beast.
It's totally not on the same level as me.
"Xiaoyan, Chensha, Yunfei, you guys should be careful of the Beast Tamer Xu family later."
Lu Ping'an could see some ill intentions in Xu Yinglong's eyes, and said to Lu Qingyan and others.
He also told Lu Qingxuan to pay more attention to the defensive beasts of the Xu family in the future.
"Don't worry, brother. We know what's going on."
Several people nodded in response, all knowing that their family's rise had entered the Xu family's vision.
As a Jindan family in Qingyun Territory, the other party absolutely does not want to see the rise of another Jindan family!
Not long after, the Divine Sword Shangguan family, Danxia Mountain, and Huanyin Sect all arrived.
Lu Qingxuan and others had only heard of these forces and had never seen them up close.
I have a general understanding of it today.
After a long time, the Qingyun Sect, Yuling Sect, Luoxia Sect, and Tianjian Sect finally arrived one by one.
The arrival of the four great sects was extraordinary, far superior to other forces, no matter their pomp and majesty, or the spirit and energy of their disciples.
"Buzzing—"
After chatting for a while, the Jindan masters of the four major immortal sects came to the purple altar with tokens in hand.
Along with the surge of purple light and the interweaving of runes, a huge void portal slowly appeared, revealing an ancient atmosphere.
"Is this the Purple Ghost Secret Realm?"
Lu Qingxuan, Lu Qingyan, Lu Chensha and others were all shocked when they saw the portal that looked like a black hole vortex.
"The Purple Nether Secret Realm lasts for one month."
"You can all enter the secret realm, but you need to follow the following rules."
The Jindan Zhenren of Tianjian Sect spoke indifferently and threw out a huge yellow list, hanging in the air, indicating the rules of the secret realm.
"After you enter the secret realm, you must be extra careful and try to meet up with others as soon as possible. Don't act alone."
"If you encounter danger, just abandon the elixir. There is no need to risk your life."
Lu Pingan instructed the others again.
The eldest brother is like a father.
At this moment, he understood how his father felt when he watched him and Lu Quanzhen enter the Ziyou Secret Realm in his early years. He felt extremely heavy-hearted and very worried.
"Don't worry, brother. We know what's going on."
Lu Qingyan and others respected and believed in Lu Pingan, the elder brother, and said respectfully.
Even though they felt a little heavy and stressed at this moment, they still smiled and acted calmly, with their eyes burning with a strong desire to fight.
"Brother, let's go."
"Ancestor, let's go."
After most of the people from the major forces had gone in, the six people and the four people from Qingzhu Mountain spoke to Lu Ping'an.
"Well, be careful."
Lu Pingan responded in a deep voice.
"Sister Yan, Brother Chensha, Brother Yunfei, Brother Qingze, Brother Mingfeng, Sister Ziyun, I will be waiting for your triumphant return."
Lu Qingxuan bowed to them seriously.
Then he bowed and said goodbye to the four people from Qingzhu Mountain.
"Ah."
The ten people nodded, then controlled their flying magic weapons and rushed into the portal.
"Don't worry, big brother. Sister Yan and Brother Chensha are very powerful. They will be fine and return victoriously."
Lu Qingxuan saw that his elder brother was a little worried, so he spoke to comfort him.
This is not entirely comforting.
Except for a few with poor talents, most of the Lu family members practiced exquisite or even unconventional techniques.
Therefore, in terms of basic combat power, it is not inferior to any other force.
It is on the same level as the Jindan-level forces or the immortal sect disciples.
Moreover, this time, all six of them had talismans and puppets with them.
Except for the top group of the immortal sect, it is basically not a problem in a one-on-one situation.
"Ah."
Lu Pingan nodded and didn't say anything more.
He had once entered the Ziyou Secret Realm and knew very well that in addition to personal combat power, the secret realm also tested one's adaptability and luck.
If you are unlucky and encounter some powerful monster or are ambushed by others, no matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to escape.
Bihu Mountain.
Bailian Peak, alchemy room.
"Whoohoo-"
Lu Changsheng taught Li Xingruo and his son Lu Xingchen how to make the elixir.
Lu Xingchen stared intently at the dark gold elixir furnace in front of him, constantly making hand gestures with his hands, using fire control techniques to control the earth fire.
When he saw the spiritual energy filling the alchemy furnace and the whiff of medicinal fragrance, he immediately cast a series of spells into the alchemy furnace.
Then he shouted in a deep voice and performed the furnace-opening technique: "Open!"
"Buzz!"
The furnace lid opened with a bang, hot steam rose up, and bright rays of light filled the air.
"receive!"
Lu Xingchen looked at the billowing hot steam, put the nine pills into his palm, and a look of joy appeared in his eyes.
[Congratulations to the host's first offspring for becoming a second-level alchemist and getting a chance to win a prize! ]
At the same time, a system prompt sounded in Lu Changsheng's mind.
"Xingchen, congratulations, from now on, you are a second-level alchemist."
Lu Changsheng said to his son with a smile.
This son has a good talent for alchemy.
It’s just that in his early years, he focused all his time and energy on spiritual practice, and he only learned the basics of alchemy and got started normally.
However, after breaking through the foundation and giving birth to spiritual consciousness, learning skills such as alchemy will be twice as effective with half the effort.
"It's all thanks to my father and my aunt's guidance."
Lu Xingchen said with a bow, his tired face unable to hide his happiness.
A second-level alchemist has a noble status and is respected wherever he is.
Now that he has become the first member of the Lu family to be promoted to a second-level alchemist, besides Lu Changsheng and Li Xingruo, he is naturally extremely happy.
"Haha, go back and have a good rest, and spend more time with Jingyi and Xuanqian these days."
Lu Changsheng chuckled, told him to go back and rest first, and then continued to watch Li Xingruo who was refining the elixir next to him.
"According to the time, the Purple Nether Secret Realm is about to open, right?"
Looking at Lu Xingchen leaving, Lu Changsheng suddenly thought of his children who were going to the Ziyou Secret Realm.
He gave each of his six children three second-level talismans and a first-level top-level puppet.
It’s not that I’m reluctant to give more.
I simply think that since we have chosen to hone our skills, if we give them too many, and everyone has a second-level puppet, then there will be no point.
"System, lottery."
Lu Changsheng let out a light breath and muttered to himself.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the third-level thunder species: the evil-repelling golden thunder! ]
[The reward has been distributed to the system space, and the host can view it at any time]
