But Xu Chunniang didn't expect that she would have to wait for three full months.
During this period of time, Zhuge Yun's health was getting better, but he refused to go out all day on the grounds that his Taoist heart was damaged.
Xu Chunniang really couldn't bear it anymore, and finally one day she approached Zhuge Yun again.
Compared to three months ago, his condition was much better, but he still looked a little sickly and his eyes were dull, as if he had lost hope in practice.
Xu Chunniang was slightly startled when she saw him like this.
Just thinking about the serious delay in the progress of the commission makes me feel unhappy and my words are not very polite.
"Senior brother is still alive."
After a long time, Zhuge Yun's eyes fell on her, and his voice seemed to come from a very far away place.
"Hmm. I wonder if you still remember me... a toad."
Xu Chunniang's eyes showed a look of astonishment. Is the person lying in front of her really Zhuge Yun?
She pressed her forehead, which was throbbing faintly, and said, "Senior Brother's injuries should be all healed. Why don't we go to Fengwei Mountain tomorrow? We have been delayed in Hunyuan City for too long."
I thought Zhuge Yun would refuse, but unexpectedly he agreed.
"Well, there is no point in my life as a toad anyway. Fengcrying Mountain is my final destination. Even if I die, senior brother will help you complete the commission... cough cough cough."
Why does she feel that Zhuge Yun is more seriously ill?
"Senior brother is not feeling well, so let's take a rest for now and stop thinking wildly. I hope that senior brother will recover as soon as possible."
After saying this, Xu Chunniang frowned and left.
Zhuge Yun, who was lying on the bed, opened his eyes with a look of helplessness.
There are still three months until Tianyuan Secret Realm, and it seems that he will have to be a toad for at least three more months.
Xu Chunniang returned to the room and heard Huo Chunyan's question.
"How's it going? Senior brother, are you feeling better?"
Because the price of the room was too high, after Zhuge Yun was injured, Huo Chunyan checked out of the room and shared a room with Xu Chunniang.
As soon as she heard this, Xu Chunniang remembered what Zhuge Yun had just said, "I am depressed and have no fighting spirit. The damage to my Taoist heart is more serious than I imagined."
"Oh, Senior Brother Zhuge is so pitiful. He suffered such a heavy blow in front of Senior Sister Shangguan. It is normal that he will not be able to recover for a while. I can understand it."
Huo Chunyan sighed, with a look of sympathy on her face, "He has been recovering in bed these days, but Senior Sister Shangguan is in and out of the same room as Xie Changyuan. It's so miserable..."
Xu Chunniang didn't say anything, she took out the spirit wine and drank it slowly.
She was considering the feasibility of using the Bone Shrinking Yi Qigong to transform into Zhuge Yun, and then take a few people to Fengcrying Mountain.
But in the end, she gave up the idea. Her cultivation level at the fourth level of foundation building was unobstructed. It was so different from Zhuge Yun's eighth level of foundation building that people could see through it at a glance.
Huo Chunyan talked a lot excitedly, but found that no one around her made any movement, so she couldn't help but pat her.
"Are you listening to me?"
Xu Chunniang came back to her senses, "You mean the secret realm?"
"Yes, there is a secret realm in Hunyuan City, which has always been in the hands of the city lord's palace. The time when the secret realm is opened is uncertain, but I heard someone say a few days ago that the next time it will be opened will be in these few months."
Huo Chunyan told the news she heard, "It just so happens that Senior Brother Zhuge has to recuperate and won't recover for a while. It just so happens that we can go to the secret realm to explore."
I’m afraid it’s not easy to get into the secret realm of the City Lord’s Mansion, right?
Xu Chunniang's eyes flashed slightly, "Are there any conditions for going to the secret realm?"
"Of course there is. First of all, the cultivation level of the entrant can only be in the foundation building stage. This secret realm is called Tianyuan Secret Realm. It is much larger than the Ozawa Realm, so the number of people who can enter will also be more."
Since Huo Chunyan learned about the Tianyuan Secret Realm, she has been inquiring about the news in the past few days, and she has learned a lot.
"It's easy to enter the Secret Realm of Apocalypse. You only need to pay 10,000 spirit stones to the City Lord's Mansion in exchange for the Key of Apocalypse. Of course, you can sneak in secretly without the Key of Apocalypse, but that would be too dangerous."
Xu Chunniang listened for a while and almost understood. The secret realm of Apocalypse was in the hands of the City Lord's Mansion, and they had created something called the Key of Apocalypse.
Only by holding the key to the apocalypse can you enter the secret realm safely, otherwise you will easily be targeted by things in the secret realm.
"It sounds pretty good."
Xu Chunniang was a little excited. Secret realms are often accompanied by great crises, but they also mean amazing gains.
The opening time of the Apocalypse Secret Realm is random every time, sometimes the interval is more than ten years, and sometimes the interval is hundreds of years.
Like this time, it has been eighty years since the last time it was opened.
"I knew you would be interested. Anyway, our commission has been delayed for so long, so it won't be worse than this moment."
Huo Chunyan smiled and looked in a good mood.
"It is our luck to catch up with the opening of the Tianyuan Secret Realm. Speaking of which, it is also thanks to Senior Brother Zhuge being seriously injured, otherwise we would have missed the Tianyuan Secret Realm."
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully, Shangguanxue had successfully hunted the Yuan Devouring Beast a few days ago.
But she still stayed in the city lord's mansion and never left.
Could it be that she already knew that the Tianyuan Secret Realm was about to open?
Xu Chunniang felt that this conjecture was very possible. Xie Changyuan was interested in Shangguan Xue, and maybe he had revealed some information.
She remembered what Demon Soul said, that Demon Soul and Demon Soul, as independent individuals, cannot sense or communicate with each other.
But if we can create a chance to be alone with Shangguan Xue, we might be able to find some clues.
Seeing that Xu Chunniang decided to go to the secret realm with her, Huo Chunyan was obviously very excited.
"Let's go, let's ask Zhang Yu and Zhao Xingsan now. If they go together, we can be more sure."
Regarding the Tianyuan Secret Realm, Zhang Yu and Zhao Xingsan did not know anything about it.
After learning about it from Huo Chunyan, Zhang Yu agreed to join without much hesitation. After all, this kind of thing is rare, and if you encounter it, you can't miss it.
Zhao Xingsan was also very moved, but he hesitated when he thought of Zhuge Yun who was lying in bed cultivating his Taoist heart.
"Do you want to talk to Senior Brother Zhuge and go with him?"
Xu Chunniang thought about what Zhuge Yun said today, and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly, "No need."
There are countless dangers in the secret realm. Zhuge Yun has great cultivation but no fighting spirit. It is too dangerous.
"The four of us are going to go and leave Senior Brother Zhuge here alone. Wouldn't it be bad?"
"What's wrong? Xiangyun Inn is very safe, and a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. No matter what I say, senior brother, he is still a great monk in the late stage of foundation building."
"Okay, that's settled then. We should make preparations as soon as possible while there is still some time."
Zhao Xingsan finally failed to resist the temptation brought by the secret realm and made a decision.
Zhuge Yun didn't know that while he was lying on the bed, several of his junior brothers and sisters made a bold decision and carried him to the Tianyuan Secret Realm.
