Zhan Chen asked: "What task is it that makes you feel troublesome?"
Gong Xinyan replied: "The place we are going to this time is a dark grand canyon called Yinxi Stream."
"Yinxi Stream, I don't understand the situation in this area, so what are we going to do there?"
"Go and collect a kind of elixir called Youyun Soul Grass."
"Is it a kind of elixir? I don't understand why a sect as big as the Qinxiao Sect can't cultivate any elixir."
"Oh, Zhan Chen, you are right. Our sect cannot grow this kind of elixir because it requires an extremely cold and extremely cold growth environment, which means it needs a place with a strong negative energy."
"I see, but I don't understand. This kind of elixir sounds very evil. Why does our sect send people to collect it? What is its function?"
"You don't know that although this elixir contains evil energy, it is an indispensable main ingredient for refining the Heavenly Soul Pill."
"What kind of pill is Tianhun Pill?"
"The Heavenly Soul Pill is a top-quality immortal-level elixir. It is extremely useful. It can increase the total amount of souls of our cultivators. One Heavenly Soul Pill can increase the total amount of souls of a powerful Yuan Shen Dzogchen master by one-third.
It can also increase the total amount of souls of a first-level ancestor of the Ming Dynasty by nearly ten percent."
"Increasing the total amount of souls, this is indeed an amazing elixir!" Zhan Chen said in shock.
"Yes, but this kind of elixir also has limitations, that is, after taking it to a certain extent, the cultivator's soul strength will reach the limit, and it will not increase without limit. In other words, the soul power of a strong Yuanshen realm is
There is no way he can be stronger than the enlightened ancestor."
"Even so, it's quite remarkable!" Even Zhan Chen began to have a strong interest in this kind of elixir.
"Yes, but only the elders of the Dan Pavilion know how to refine this kind of elixir, and the elixir-making rate is extremely low. It is not easy for ordinary elders to obtain it, let alone our disciples."
Zhan Chen nodded. He could understand that the more heaven-defying elixirs, the more difficult it would be to refine them. Moreover, the prescriptions of such elixirs are usually treasured by alchemists, who value them even more than their lives.
It is important and will never be leaked, which makes good elixirs even more precious.
"Refining the Heavenly Soul Pill requires a large amount of Cloud Soul Grass, so the sect has set up this task all year round, and the rewards are extremely high."
"Then the risk of this mission must be extremely high."
"Yes, first of all, this Youyun Soul Grass is a top-grade elixir of immortality. It is very rare and difficult to find. Secondly, Yinxi Stream is a dangerous place where a large number of powerful cold and dark attribute monsters live. And we
We also face one of our biggest competitors.”
"What competitor?"
"That is our Qin Xiao Sect's mortal enemy - the Demonic Sound Sect."
"Demon Sound Sect."
"Yes, this sect's territory borders our sect, and they are also a sect that is good at music and soul attacks. However, they are the Demon Sect and are sworn enemies with our Immortal Sect. The most terrible thing is that the Yinxi Stream Canyon is right next to the Demonic Sect.
Within their territory, they also send many disciples every year to search for the Nether Cloud Soul Grass."
"That means we are going to enter the Demon Sect's territory." Zhan Chen pondered.
"Yes, not only do we have to go deep into their territory, but the probability of conflict with them is very high." Gong Xinyan paused and then asked: "Zhan Chen, this task originally requires disciples with high-level spiritual cultivation or above to accompany them.
You dare to take it, but your cultivation is not enough, even so, do you dare to go?"
Zhan Chen asked: "So what kind of reward can you get if you complete this task?"
"Every time you find a Nether Cloud Soul Grass, you can exchange it for six training tokens on the 13th floor of the training tower."
Zhan Chen thought: "Six training tower tokens can speed up the time 130 times for half a year. As long as I get 12 such tokens, one year of cultivation is equivalent to someone else's 130 years of cultivation. It's so worth it."
Come on!" Then he said: "Sister Gong, I have decided to go!"
"You have to think clearly and don't force yourself!" Gong Xinyan said.
"I have nothing to think about anymore. As long as I can improve my cultivation, I am willing to take no matter how big the risk is!" Zhan Chen said categorically. There was really not much time left for him. He must become stronger quickly.
"Well, to be honest, even our direct disciples have to think about it for a long time when accepting this task, but the Hundred Flowers Ceremony is approaching, and everyone is eager to improve their strength and fight on behalf of the sect."
Zhan Chen suddenly asked: "Can a male disciple like me also participate in the Hundred Flowers Ceremony?"
Gong Xinyan looked at him, a trace of curiosity flashed in her eyes, and said, "Why, you want to go too?"
"Um!"
"Don't be ridiculous, you only have the cultivation level of the primary soul, and those who fight on behalf of the sect are the strongest among the direct disciples."
"I'll ask first if it's okay."
"Well - I haven't explicitly said no. However, in the previous Hundred Flowers Ceremony, female disciples have participated in the competition. Male disciples usually choose to shine in the Taiyan State Immortal Dao Competition."
"Taiyanzhou Immortal Dao Competition, what is this?"
"That is a grand gathering of immortals jointly organized by the major sects and major countries in Taiyan Prefecture, including some immortal cultivators. At that time, the strongest forces in Taiyan Prefecture will gather at the grand event, divided into those in the realm of enlightenment and those in the realm of enlightenment.
In the competition between the two levels of Yuanshen Realm, the winner will receive the supreme glory and the most generous rewards."
"So that's it, then when will this Taiyan Immortal Competition be held?"
"This is later than the Hundred Flowers Ceremony, and will be held more than five hundred years later."
Zhan Chen thought to himself: "It will be five hundred years from now. It seems that this competition will have nothing to do with me." He had already planned in his mind that as soon as he found the specific location of Conch Point, he would return to Linghe.
Send him to protect his family well, and then when he has enough strength, he will go to Qiao Hentian to avenge his shame.
At this time, he heard that Gong Xinyan confirmed: "How about Zhan Chen, are you sure you will join the mission together next week?"
"Sister Gong, just take me there. Although I may not be able to help you, I will never hold you back." Zhan Chen said confidently.
Gong Xinyan sighed and said, "Okay, but you have to promise me that you must listen to me when you go out, follow me closely, and don't wander around, otherwise you will be in danger."
"Um!"
A week passed like this. A week later, Gong Xinyan led Zhan Chen to a small forest in the Qinxiao Sect, where four people were already waiting.
Zhan Chen observed the four of them carefully. Although he could not see their cultivation level, he still felt that these four women exuded a powerful aura, not much weaker than Gong Xinyan.
When the four of them saw Gong Xinyan coming, they all said, "Gong Xinyan, why are you here? We have been waiting for you for a long time."
Gong Xinyan replied: "Sorry, I was delayed on the way."
At this time, a woman in bright red palace clothes focused her eyes on Zhan Chen behind Gong Xinyan and asked: "Xinyan, is this man behind you the Zhan Chen you mentioned?"
Gong Xinyan replied: "Yes, he is my new godbrother."
"Don't be ridiculous, his cultivation level is only at the elementary level of Yuanshen. You have to know what kind of place we are going to. He will only hold us back."
"Of course I know that Zhan Chen is protected by me, and I must take him with me. If you are really unwilling, then I can only withdraw."
When the four women heard that Gong Xinyan was about to withdraw, they were at a loss for a moment. They gathered together and discussed for a few words. The woman in red palace clothes finally arrived: "Okay Xinyan, after all, we are sisters.
It’s been such a long time, I’ll allow you to do whatever you want for once.”
Gong Xinyan clapped her hands and smiled and said: "Long live my understanding, thank you, Liu Sijia, I love you to death." Then she turned to Zhan Chen behind her and said: "Zhan Chen, come here, I will introduce these people to you.
Senior sister."
Zhan Chen nodded and walked forward. Gong Xinyan pointed at the woman in red palace clothes and said, "This is Senior Sister Liu Sijia."
Zhan Chen saluted Liu Sijia and said, "Hello, Senior Sister Liu."
Gong Xinyan pointed to a woman with a few freckles on her face and said, "This is Senior Sister Lei Chunyan."
"Hello, Senior Sister Lei." Zhan Chen saluted Lei Chunyan again.
Gong Xinyan pointed to the remaining two and said: "They are Senior Sister Wang Qiong and Senior Sister Qian Ning respectively. Don't underestimate these senior sisters. They are all my good sisters and elite disciples of Yuanshen Dzogchen."
.”
Zhan Chen also saluted them one by one. At this time Liu Sijia smiled and said: "That's all, Xinyan, your brother is cute and polite, and he is also very handsome. By the way, are you really
Are they just siblings?"
"Of course it's true!" Gong Xinyan couldn't help shouting.
The other four women all looked at Gong Xinyan with suspicion, their faces full of suspicion.
Seeing this, Gong Xinyan hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, let's not talk about useless things here, let's go quickly, after all, we only have three months."
"Okay, don't rush me. You were the most anxious from the beginning and insisted on getting us to accompany you on the mission." Liu Sijia spread her hands and said.
"Anyway, everyone needs to go to the training tower to practice and prepare for the Hundred Flowers Ceremony, right?"
As they talked, they walked towards the direction of the Qinxiao Sect. Zhan Chen followed them. The group came to the disciples' office and registered their tasks. The on-duty disciples there gave each of them a token.
.
Zhan Chen took the token and looked through it, then curiously asked Gong Xinyan on the side: "Senior Sister Gong, what is this token used for?"
Gong Xinyan took a look and said: "This is the token for leaving the sect, and it is also the key to entering the secret realm. Only by giving it to the disciples guarding the gate of the secret realm will they be allowed to leave the secret realm. Likewise, if you return to the sect,
, as long as you hold the token, you can enter the secret realm entrance unimpeded."
Zhan Chen wondered: "I didn't expect this small token to have such a big effect." He thought of something else and asked: "By the way, I have never understood, if it is the outer gate of the Immortal Realm,
How do disciples get in and out of the secret realm?"
