Zhang Ke stood outside the city and looked at this first big city next to Dingzhou.
He remembered that it was here that he obtained the [Red Lotus Karmic Fire], one of the nine great divine fires in the world.
He also became a good friend with a disciple from the local ‘Biyun Valley’.
‘I don’t know what Zuo Chengxi’s cultivation is now, so why not go find him and have a few drinks.’
A smile appeared on Zhang Ke's lips, and he entered the city mixed in with the surrounding crowd.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the city, a spiritual thought touched him.
Zhang Ke followed his spiritual thoughts and saw a person on the sixth floor of the Duzun Building, offering his hand to him.
The Duzun Building is a wooden building made entirely of century-old wood.
All the joints are fixed with magic-activated plants. Over time, the entire building has completely grown together, exuding vitality.
Countless thick branches and branches intersect from the building, and thick vines and thin vines are entangled in them. The inside and outside are integrated, making it a spectacular sight.
When he reached the top floor of Duzun Building, Zhang Ke was a little surprised by the people who appeared in front of him.
‘Yunzhan Cave’ Xinbaoshan, ‘Fengxia Temple’ Suqin Zhenjun, how come these two Nascent Soul Zhenjun from the secret realm appear here?
The other two true monarchs all had unfamiliar faces. One had white hair, white beard, and white robe. He had a cold face and a thin body. He held a white jade flute in his hand.
The other man wore a round-neck brocade robe embroidered with gold charms and money. He had a round face and big ears, and a body as round as a ball. He had a harmless smile on his face.
The only real person in the Golden Core Realm is an acquaintance.
‘Biyun Valley’ Gan Weiyun!
Zhang Ke smiled and held up his hands.
"Innate Qi Nan Zongru has met all fellow Taoists!"
The white-robed True Monarch solemnly held his hand.
"Mo Zixing of Biyun Valley has met fellow Taoist Ruyi!"
The rich True Lord smiled and bowed his hands in salute.
"Zhu Min from the Nine-layer Sect has just met fellow Taoist Ruyi!"
On the side, Xin Baoshan and Suqin Zhenjun also came forward to greet him one by one.
Zhang Ke smiled and greeted everyone with a few words, then turned around and said:
"Long time no see, Mr. Gan, always nice!"
Gan Weiyun's mood was a little complicated.
In the past, when Zhang Ke was in the Xiantian realm, he was in the Golden Core realm. Now that Zhang Ke has advanced to the Yuan Shen realm, he is still in the Golden Core realm.
"My dear Lord Lao Ruyi, I'm thinking of you, junior... junior..."
Zhang Ke smiled and said:
"In the past, Zuo Chengxi and I had an irreversible friendship. Master Gan does not need to be restrained. By the way, how is Zuo Chengxi doing these days?"
Gan Weiyun sighed softly and said:
"Cheng Xi failed to advance to the golden elixir level and passed away many years ago."
Zhang Ke was slightly startled, sighed for a moment, and sighed:
"I originally wanted to have a drink with him, but I didn't want to say goodbye on the same day and end up saying goodbye forever. It's really unpredictable in the world."
Then he changed the subject and asked:
"Why are you two fellow Daoist Xin here? Could it be that the secret realm is manifested here?"
Xin Baoshan said respectfully:
"Indeed, as Zhenjun expected, the place where our two sects manifested is not far from here."
After hesitating for a moment, he said:
"I heard that the True Lord is going to establish a sect branch in Nanhai. I wonder if it can accommodate other sects?"
Zhang Ke raised his eyebrows, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.
"What happened?"
Xin Baoshan smiled bitterly and said:
"After all, we come from a secret realm, and not only do we have difficulty communicating with people in this realm, but our customs and habits are also very different from those here.
Since the secret realm manifested, it has been difficult for people in the secret realm to coexist harmoniously with the local people."
Zhang Ke nodded and said:
"This is normal. New shoes still need some time to break in.
After hundreds of years, through constant contact, understanding, and intermarriage, they will naturally merge together."
Xin Baoshan glanced at Zhenjun Suqin and said to Zhang Ke:
"The two of us have discussed that Zhenjun's sect is moving south, and it will definitely encounter a lot of troubles along the way.
If people from the secret realm join in at this time, the cooperation between the two parties may be able to speed up the running-in process."
Zhang Ke's expression changed. This was something he had never thought of.
Only by sharing weal and woe can we build firm friendship and affection.
Zhang Ke was a little moved. Xin Baoshan and Suqin Zhenjun represented two secret realm sects and a large number of secret realm people.
These are all talents and resources. I am lacking everything now, so naturally I welcome them very much.
But...
He looked at Mo Zixing and Zhu Mingang and shook his head regretfully.
“Before the war started on this mission, there were regulations in this sector.
Whether it is a secret realm or a small world, wherever it manifests, the sects there will communicate with it.
Other sects cannot get involved.
I appreciate your kindness, but I can only say sorry."
Zhu Mingang laughed 'haha' and said:
"I have long heard that True Lord Ruyi is upright and upright, and today I saw that he is indeed worthy of his reputation."
Zhang Ke touched his nose and said with a wry smile:
"I still don't know what my reputation is like. My Taoist friend's words make Ruyi feel ashamed."
Mo Zixing was slightly surprised. He thought that Zhang Ke would be very domineering because he became famous at a young age.
This was fully demonstrated in his actions during his journey south.
But listening to what he said now, he was not an unreasonable person!
Zhu Mingang smiled and said:
"Since Taoist fellow Taoist is so straightforward, I won't make any detours."
After a brief pause, he said:
"The 'Yunzhan Cave' of Fellow Daoist Xin and the 'Fengxia Temple' of Fellow Daoist Suqin, together with the nearly 300,000 secret realm people accommodated by the two sects, can be released by 'Nine Chongmen' and 'Biyun Valley' to join the Taoist movement.
Friend's sect.
However, this requires fellow Taoists to pay something in exchange."
Zhang Ke opened his white eyes, glanced at several people's faces, and said with a smile:
"It seems that you all have planned this for a long time. Can you tell me about it?"
Zhu Mingang smiled "hehe" and signaled Mo Zixing to speak with his eyes.
At this juncture, it would be more beneficial for Mo Zixing to speak first. Even if the negotiation fails, he can settle the situation properly.
Mo Zixing looked at Zhang Ke and said:
"I heard that fellow Taoist got a large amount of 'Liangyi Pearl' and 'Five Elements Essence Liquid' in the secret realm.
The meaning of my two sects is that as long as Taoist friend is willing to exchange this, Taoist friend Xin and others can go with Taoist friend."
Zhu Mingang rolled his eyes secretly, what he said was so subpar.
Zhang Ke's heart moved, he looked at Xin Baoshan and the two, and understood that the news should have been leaked by the two.
But this is normal, for such a large secret realm to be brought back.
People are always curious about the details, and it is not surprising that they are found out.
Zhang Ke pondered for a moment, then took out two 'Liang Yi Pearls' and two bottles of 'Five Elements Essence Liquid' and placed them on the table.
"Is this what these two fellow Taoists are talking about?"
Mo Zixing and Zhu Mingang reached out and took it for a brief inspection, with a hint of joy in their expressions.
"Exactly this!"
Zhang Ke looked at the expressions of the two people, thought about it for a while, and suddenly smiled:
"I feel ashamed to say that I have had this product for a long time, but due to my limited knowledge, I have never understood its efficacy.
I would like to ask these two fellow Taoists, what are the uses of these two items?"
Mo Zixing and two others were greatly surprised. It turned out that Zhang Ke didn't know the use of this thing.
The two looked at each other and Zhu Mingang said:
"This 'Five Elements Essence' is born from the power of the five elements of heaven and earth.
After it turns into liquid, combined with some elixirs, it can speed up the cultivation speed of practitioners in the golden elixir realm.
But this is nothing, the most important thing is that this item can increase the success rate of foundation building."
Zhu Minggang glanced at Zhang Ke, stretched out three fingers and said:
"Thirty percent!"
Zhang Ke's expression couldn't help but change.
What does it mean to increase the chance of foundation building by 30%?
When Zhang Ke first built the foundation, 800 of the sect's 1,500 disciples got the opportunity to build the foundation.
But in the end, only a hundred people succeeded in building the foundation.
Although there are reasons such as lack of resources, the main reason is that the foundation is not solid enough.
You must know that these eight hundred people are the best selected from hundreds of thousands of children in Qingtian and Tieshan.
This shows how difficult it is to build a foundation.
Zhang Ke stared at the 'Five Elements Essence Liquid' in front of him. Thinking of the countless yuan liquids used in the secret realm, his heart ached like a knife.
They are all True Lord Yuanshen, and his expression cannot be hidden from others.
Zhu Mingang and Mo Zixing breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Zhang Ke's expression, it was obvious that he had wasted a lot of money unknowingly.
Zhang Ke's mind scanned the natal talisman.
'There are less than 10,000 bottles left, which is so heartbreaking!'
After calming down, Zhang Ke asked:
"I wonder how effective this bottle of Yuan Liquid is?"
Zhu Mingang smiled and said:
"This bottle contains about a hundred drops of essence liquid. Ordinary people who have never established a foundation can only use three drops at most."
Zhang Ke knew it, and it seemed that this bottle could help thirty people increase their chances of breaking through the foundation building.
After pondering for a moment, he asked again:
"Then what's the use of these 'Liang Yi Pearls'?"
Mo Zixing opened his mouth and said:
"The two qi of yin and yang in this bead are self-consistently balanced, and are extremely effective in practicing yin and yang magic.
The most valuable thing is that it can balance the two qi of yin and yang in the body, and can increase the number of times of circulation every day."
"Ss—!"
Not only Zhang Ke, but also Xin Baoshan, Suqin Zhenjun and others present took a deep breath.
In the womb-breathing state, a practitioner can perform the cycle of heaven once a day. In the state of sitting and forgetfulness, the practitioner can perform the cycle of heaven twice a day.
Even the True Lord Yuanshen can only inhale and circulate Zhou Tian twice a day.
There are many factors involved in this, including the rules of the avenue and the inability to withstand the riot of vitality in the body.
Therefore, the movement of the heavens is very important, which determines the speed of a practitioner's practice.
Why was Zhang Ke able to become the True Lord of Yuanshen in just two hundred years?
It is because when he moves around the sky every day, the natal talisman can purify an extra bit of essence energy from the void.
Over time, he can cultivate faster than others.
Zhang Ke said in disbelief:
"How could this 'Liang Yi Pearl' have such a heaven-defying effect?"
Zhu Minggang explained with a smile.
"Of course it won't work for everyone.
A practitioner in the Xiantian realm who wears a "Liang Yi Bead" can increase the number of times he travels through the heavens once a day for three years.
When you reach the golden elixir realm, every thirty pieces can only last for one year.
By the time we reach the realm like you and I, this kind of thing has no effect.
But no matter what, if used properly, this thing can speed up the cultivation speed of low-level practitioners.
For a sect, this bead is considered a valuable treasure."
Zhang Ke's senses were very keen, and he heard a hint of untruth in Zhu Mingang's words.
There must be some hidden information that I don't know about.
But he wasn't going to get to the bottom of it. Since Zhu Mingang didn't say anything, it was useless to ask more.
I will naturally be able to find out if I have time in the future.
However, Zhang Ke felt heartbroken when he thought of the "Liang Yi Beads" consumed when setting up the "Scattered Element Formation" and "Star Orbit Traction Formation" in the secret realm.
