Upon seeing this, Xiao Chen immediately understood that the emerald green talisman array had the ability to teleport.

The other monks also took out Secret Order one after another and fell into the talisman array one after another.

In the flash of light, everything disappeared without a trace.

"Daoist Xiao Wait a minute!"

Just as Xiao Chen was about to enter Secret Realm, a monk next to him shouted, "This must be the first time for fellow Daoist to explore Cangran Secret Realm, right?"

"I have in my hand a copy of Secret Intelligence that has been handed down from our ancestors and is related to the Secret Realm."

"At the same time, there is also a summary of the intelligence in the Secret Realm from the last few times, including a rough topographic map."

The monk introduced it quickly while taking out a brand new booklet and handed it over directly.

To prove the value of the booklet.

He also deliberately opened the cover, revealing part of the Secret Realm Map on the title page. "It only costs one hundred Spirit Stone in total, which is guaranteed to be worth the money."

Immediately there was a scent of ink.

At a glance, you can tell that it was copied out in the past few days and was specially prepared for this Secret Realm.

Unexpectedly, there are still people who choose to do business at the Secret Realm entrance. They really do not miss any opportunity to make a fortune.

But this thing is really interesting.

For Xiao Chen, it is much more useful than the gold charms I encountered before, and the price is relatively inexpensive.

Therefore, he did not hesitate and took out one hundred Spirit Stone on the spot, paying the money and delivering the goods.

Then without any further delay, he took out Secret Order, held it in his hand, and dropped it into the talisman array.

Emerald green light flashed, and Xiao Chen felt that his surroundings suddenly became empty, as if he was falling from a cliff.

But this feeling only existed for a moment, and then it felt like I was standing on the ground again.

At the same time, there was a feeling of dizziness in the sea of consciousness, which came late.

"Ouch~, the experience of using this Teleportation Array is a bit bad."

Xiao Chen frowned slightly. Compared to the Profound Heaven Immortal Palace's almost insensible spatial movement before, this time's talisman array was clearly inferior.

He put his hand on his forehead and gently rubbed his temples.

While releasing the situation around Spiritual Sense Probe.

As far as the eye can see is a large, lush forest.

Almost everything within a radius of a hundred miles is covered by trees.

However, the strange thing is that as Xiao Chen and Divine Sense scanned carefully, no birds or animals could be seen around, not even ants or insects.

At the same time, an inexplicable feeling of lack came over him.

After thinking about it carefully, he immediately found the source of this sense of lack - there were only sparse weeds in the forest, but no wild flowers.

You know, this is a huge area with a radius of hundreds of miles.

In addition, there was no trace of any other monks around, and he was the only one within a hundred miles.

"Where did this come from?"

Xiao Chen took the secret order back to Storage Ring, took out the information he had just purchased, and started reading it on the spot.

In just a quarter of an hour, he had a basic understanding of the entire Cangran Secret Realm.

Overall, Secret Realm is divided into four areas.

They are Sprite Forest, Ten Thousand Beasts Forest, Miasmic Marsh and Blood Vine Forest.

This order also represents the size of different areas.

Sprite Forest occupies the largest area, and is also the place where it is most likely to be randomly teleported.

Blood Vine Forest occupies the smallest space, but it is the easiest place to find Dao Comprehension Crystal.

"In this way, I should be at Sprite Forest now, which is the lower left part of the Secret Realm."

Xiao Chen immediately determined his position.

According to the sketch given in the brochure, the layout of the entire Cangran Secret Realm is similar to an inverted triangle.

The lower left is Sprite Forest, the lower right is Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.

There is a strip of Miasmic Marsh that is not particularly wide but very long in the middle, and the deepest one is Blood Vine Forest.

This explains why there are no birds and animals around Xiao Chen.

Because the biggest danger here comes from Sprites.

The so-called Sprites is a special life that was born after absorbing Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi over a long period of time.

Strictly speaking, 'Sprites' is a result of acquired practice. He is good at disguise, loves to express himself and holds grudges.

Under special circumstances, some birds and beasts will also become Sprites, which is completely different from the relatively common Demon Race.

But that's rarely the case.

Therefore, most of the time, it can be simply understood that the birds and animals become monsters, and the flowers and trees become Sprites.

Thinking of this, Xiao Chen looked around again.

This time he simply put away Divine Sense and observed it with only one pair of eyes.

Sprites is naturally good at camouflage, and Block Spiritual Sense detection is almost an innate ability for them.

This means that if a monk falls into Sprite Forest alone, he must be careful.

Pay attention to any tree or even grass around you, in case it is transformed by Sprites and makes a sudden attack.

But Xiao Chen doesn't need to worry about this.

For him, as long as he doesn't meet the fourth-level Sprites, he is here to deliver food.

"Speaking of which, I have never seen Sprites."

Xiao Chen walked up to the nearest tree Cedar Tree, stretched out his hand and knocked on the trunk. "Hey, hey, are you Sprites?"

Cedar Tree is silent.

He simply turned around and sat down with his back against the tree, and continued to study the pamphlet in his hand.

Such actions are very dangerous to others, but it doesn't matter, Body Cultivator is so confident.

Xiao Chen is fully confident that it can break the emerging Sprites into eight petals at any time.

So it seems careless, but in fact it is a deliberate attempt to expose a flaw.

In the middle of the booklet, the casualties and gains after the end of the past thirteen Cangran Secret Realm are detailed.

"Oh, there are so many casualties?"

Xiao Chen was a bit unexpected. At least three monks were killed in the Secret Realm, and at most nine monks were killed.

You know, if you want to enter Secret Realm, you must first obtain Cangran Secret Token.

This threshold is not low, which means that those who are qualified to come here are considered to be the elites.

However, despite such high casualties, the number of Dao Comprehension Crystal brought out each time was quite limited.

Under normal circumstances, there is usually only two to three yuan that have clear information afterwards.

Even if some people may hide their gains, the final total is estimated to be doubled.

But Xiao Chen saw a very interesting place.

In the year when the monks suffered the most casualties, the largest number of Dao Comprehension Crystal were brought out.

Just the official announcement alone costs a full six yuan.

In the year when the monks suffered only four casualties, the number of Dao Comprehension Crystal brought out was the smallest, and only two pieces could be confirmed.

In general, the two actually show a corresponding relationship.

"What's going on? Is there any danger next to Dao Comprehension Crystal?"

Xiao Chen continued to turn back and forth.

However, there are only two sentences related to Blood Vine Forest in the entire booklet.

They are located in the deepest part and there are blood-draining vines inside.

However, on the last page, the other party left three special reminders.

The first tip is that the long Miasmic Marsh is a natural landmark.

Although the talisman array will lead to scattered locations, you can find companions along the border of Miasmic Marsh to jointly resist the dangers in the Secret Realm.

But for Xiao Chen, he does not need to find someone to hug and keep warm.

The second tip is that Sprites is worth more than Demon Beast.

Especially the tree heart left by Tree Spirit, or the pollen left by the flower essence, are both good things that can be sold for a big price.

"Tree heart?"

Xiao Chen turned around and looked at Cedar Tree behind him.

He just dug a hole in the tree.

Unfortunately, this is indeed an ordinary Cedar Tree, and there is no tree heart inside.

The third tip is that some lucky people have found a Dao Comprehension Crystal outside Blood Vine Forest, but most of them are hearsay.

So far, there is only one clear record.

So if you are here for Dao Comprehension Crystal, it is best to go to Blood Vine Forest in time.

"Not bad, quite considerate."

Xiao Chen put away the brochure, and I have to say that the one hundred Spirit Stone was really well spent.

Although he didn't use the first two suggestions very much, the third point was indeed very useful.

Besides, there is also the map in front, so it is indeed worth the money.

"Let me see, this should be the direction of Blood Vine Forest."

Xiao Chen stood up and briefly checked the direction.

Stride towards the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

Cangran Secret Realm also contains Anti-Air Restriction, which restricts monks from flying. He has just tried it.

It's strange to say.

Xiao Chen walked for a day and a night, but did not encounter a monk or any Sprites along the way.

You know, Cangran Secret Realm is full of energy.

Not only are there many spiritual trees, but every few miles, you can basically encounter wild Spirit Fruit or spirit medicine hiding in the grass.

Among them are Third-Order Spirit Fruit and Third-Tier Spirit Medicine.

Even if you simply pick these things, you can still exchange them for a lot of Spirit Stone.

Just by Xiao Chen seeing it with your own eyes, if you collect them all, they would be worth at least 20,000 to 30,000 Spirit Stone or even more.

According to what he knew, the duration of the Cangran Secret Realm is variable, but it usually lasts ten to fifteen days.

The details will be determined by the symbol array appearing again in mid-air.

When the monk sees the talisman array, he only needs to take out Secret Order again to be re-transported to the outside world.

Therefore, theoretically speaking, if you can stay in the Secret Realm for fifteen days.

Just by collecting spiritual objects, you can get spiritual objects worth starting at 300,000 Spirit Stone, and there will only be more and no less.

This is also the reason why Cangran Secret Token started bidding at a high price of 300,000 Spirit Stone at the auction.

However, the strange thing is that Xiao Chen didn't even see any traces of collection.

It was as if he was the only one among the Secret Realm.

"Or maybe everyone looks down on these things?"

Xiao Chen came here for Dao Comprehension Crystal this time, so naturally he would not waste time picking Spirit Fruit and spirit medicine.

If I were to apply myself to others, could it be that the other monks also have the same idea?

After all, the alchemy True Person who can enter Cangran Secret Realm are all elites, so they probably really don't care about this guaranteed profit.

Maybe everyone is here for higher-level spiritual objects, or even looking for Dao Comprehension Crystal.

If this is the case, it is not good news for Xiao Chen.

After all, the more monks competing, the lower the probability of him getting Dao Comprehension Crystal.

"What a wonderful spirit medicine, you can't even look down on it, they are just a bunch of losers!"

With a murmur, Xiao Chen ignored Third-Order Spirit Fruit, who was only eighty feet away on the right, and silently accelerated his pace.

I walked without stopping for almost six hours.

When passing between two big trees, there was suddenly a dense white mist.

In an instant, it completely covered his front and back.

Immediately, Xiao Chen's line of sight was obviously obstructed. He could not reach more than three feet, and any place farther away became a blur.

At the same time, Divine Sense was suppressed even more severely.

It can only cover one foot of itself, but it can no longer spread.

Even as the mist flows, you can feel an obvious pressure preventing Divine Sense from spreading.

At the same time, Xiao Chen heard the sounds of roars of beasts.

The sound came from the white mist, as if there were countless jackals, tigers and leopards hiding in it, and they might rush out and attack at any time.

When encountering such a sudden change, ordinary monks would definitely panic.

The field of vision Divine Sense is all restricted, so if you encounter a sneak attack, there will be almost no reaction time.

What's more important is that now I can't confirm what exactly happened to me.

Is it Sprites who is setting up a trap, or is there a monk with malicious intentions who is preparing to rob and kill others?

However, Xiao Chen continued to move forward very calmly and walked straight into the depths of the fog.

No matter he meets Sprites or Bandit Cultivator, he is not afraid at all.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly realized that something wasn't right.

So I specially used Ghost Mask Profound Light Shield to protect my body, and at the same time, I took out East Flower Wind Sword and held it in my hand, putting on a cautious and alert posture.

In this situation, if he didn't act scared, it would be too fake.

It's okay if it's Sprites, but if you meet Bandit Cultivator, it will easily make the other party feel scrupulous.

After walking forward for about a hundred steps, a strong wind suddenly approached quickly from behind Xiao Chen.

Turning around suddenly, I saw a huge black shadow approaching.

First, the pungent smell hit my face.

What followed was a deafening roar.

"Ho~!"

The sound contained a strong Spiritual Power, which actually caused the Protective Spiritual Light formed by Ghost Mask Profound Light Shield to tremble for a while, and then shattered on the spot.

Although this is related to Xiao Chen intentionally not activating Spirit Ascension Form from the beginning.

But just a roar can break the ordinary Protective Spiritual Light, which is enough to show that the comer is evil.

"Buzz~!"

The majestic true essence was injected into East Flower Wind Sword, causing a low hum.

Immediately, a majestic Sword Light flashed past, cutting the approaching black shadow in half.

But due to inertia, the black shadow still hit him.

"Crack!"

Xiao Chen took two steps to the left in time and watched as the opponent hit the pine tree behind him, breaking the tree directly.

Only then did he see it clearly.

It was a strange beast with a body like a cow, but a single horn on its forehead, black hair like a wolf all over its body, and a tail like a cat Demon Beast.

The two monster bodies finally separated due to the impact, and streams of blood were pouring out.

"Golden Core Demonic Beast?"

Xiao Chen took a step closer and opened its belly with the tip of his sword. "No, there is no Demon Core!"

There is not even the process of Demon Power in the body disintegrating into Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi after Golden Core Demonic Beast was killed.

"Could it be that this is Sprites?"

Xiao Chen curiously squatted down and observed carefully.

However, after a few breaths, the blood that first flowed out began to become transparent.

Then Demon Beast's body gradually faded away from its original color.

The whole thing shrank in size and turned into two broken black pine trees.

"Is it so wonderful?"

Xiao Chen used Flying Sword to cut it vertically from the middle again, and sure enough, a fist-sized ink-colored tree heart was dug out in the lower half.

Holding it in your hand, you can even feel a slight beat.

However, this does not mean that the heart of the tree is still alive, it is just an illusion caused by the overly active vitality in it.

The main purpose of this thing is to use it to refine weapons. There are many weapon refiners who are willing to pay a high price of Fifty Thousand Spirit Stones or more to buy it.

Although the total demand is not large, because the output is too low, we basically sell as much as we can.

In addition, there are also some special Pill Formula that can be used.

If that happens, the price is likely to double directly.

"How about collecting a few more Wood Heart?"

At this time, the fog around Xiao Chen has not dissipated, and the roar of beasts can be vaguely heard from further away.

In other words, there should be more Sprites hidden in the white mist.

If he is here to collect tree hearts this time, then this is a good opportunity to hunt Sprites.

"Well, forget it, Dao Comprehension Crystal is important."

Putting the tree heart in his hand into Vast Sea Ring, Xiao Chen chose to continue moving forward.

For him, there are many ways to earn Spirit Stone besides Secret Realm, but there are not many opportunities to collect Dao Comprehension Crystal.

Therefore, he did not deliberately search for the other Sprites.

Instead, continue in the original direction towards Blood Vine Forest.

One of the benefits of Body Cultivator is that it can walk very quickly in a restricted air environment.

With this advantage, Xiao Chen walked out of the fog coverage in only two quarters of an hour.

However, although he did not take the initiative to hunt Sprites, he could not resist Sprites's growing legs and would actively run over to attack him.

So when leaving the fog.

There are three more Wood Heart in Vast Sea Ring, and there is also a special pollen.

After about another six hours, Xiao Chen finally came to the edge of Sprite Forest.

As there are fewer and fewer trees on both sides, the ground under our feet is getting wetter.

At the very edge, there were a few sparse spiritual trees and even most of their trunks were stuck in the mud.

Standing in place together with Xiao Chen, they could only feel that the soil under their feet was slowly sinking.

If you stand still, your whole body may sink in.

Looking around, the situation ahead is even more serious, completely changing from a swamp to a swamp growing with reeds.

You can even see mud ponds like small ponds in some places.

Now that there are no trees around, the view is wider.

However, Xiao Chen looked around and saw no other monks near him.

I don't know whether it was because I, as Body Cultivator, walked too fast, or because there just happened to be no one else in the area.

But no matter what the reason was, it didn't matter. He wasn't planning to find other monks to form a team anyway.

So Xiao Chen did not stay at the edge of the swamp, but continued to walk deeper.

Because Cangran Secret Realm has Anti-Air Restriction, the swamp that was originally easy to fly over has become troublesome.

As he went deeper and deeper inside, he could even clearly feel an obvious suction coming from his feet.

It was like there was a magnet underneath, trying to pull him into it.

This suction force is really not weak. Xiao Chen only walked two miles and spent a full five rays of true energy.

According to what he saw in the brochure, the shortest part of this swamp is two hundred miles long, and the longest part is even four hundred miles long.

If replaced by ordinary Golden Core cultivator.

I'm afraid that just rushing will consume most or even all of the true energy. If there is any accident along the way, it is very likely that we will not be able to pass safely.

Theoretically the best way is to go left or right to the edge of the Secret Realm.

Or other places where you can judge your position, and then choose a shorter path to pass through.

But Xiao Chen has two Golden Core in his body, and Total True Essence is far better than ordinary monks.

Even if he walked the longest distance, it didn't matter, it was enough for him to reach the other side safely and retain sufficient fighting power.

In addition, the full name of this area is Miasmic Marsh.

In other words, in addition to the mire at your feet, there is also a poisonous miasma in the middle.

Most of these miasmas come from the decay of spiritual trees, and a small part comes from the dead Sprites or Demon Beast, and there may also be monks.

In addition to the need to prepare anti-toxic methods in advance, it will also block Spiritual Sense Probe.

In other words, the monk cannot use Divine Sense to determine how far he is from Blood Vine Forest or whether he has gone to the wrong place.

However, these two points are not a problem for Xiao Chen.

He doesn't need to worry about poison, nor does he need to worry about distance.

It's just that due to the influence of suction, the speed is inevitably slower.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?"

Xiao Chen walked almost three hundred miles in one breath, and the miasma around him had just begun to weaken.

He looked up and saw new woods looming ahead about fifty miles away.

"It's okay. I haven't encountered the longest place, which means I'm not unlucky."

Most of the time, Xiao Chen does not have high requirements for his own luck, and he can accept it as long as he does not encounter the worst situation.

Except when selecting Hextech.

"Boom~!"

Just when Xiao Chen left the swamp and stepped onto Blood Vine Forest, he suddenly heard a violent explosion in front of him.

Immediately afterwards there was the "ding-dong" sound of the collision of Spirit Artifact, and the sound of the roaring wind of Law Technique.

Immediately, waves of Spiritual Qi waves came from the forest.

And judging from the changing positions, both sides seemed to be chasing and escaping.

It's just that due to the need to take into account the fighting skills, the overall speed is not very fast.

However, judging from the direction, it seemed to be moving towards him.

"Is there someone who can take the first step?"

Xiao Chen After thinking about it, it may not necessarily be the other monks.

After all, there are both Sprites and Demon Beast in the Secret Realm. Maybe they started fighting?

Seeing that the opponent was already approaching, he simply followed the Spiritual Qi wave and moved closer.

Unfortunately, when he took a closer look, he was disappointed.

It turned out to be just two monks wearing masks, chasing a female monk.

Although the Spirit Artifact used by the female cultivator was quite good and the Law Technique was quite proficient, after all, they were fighting one against two, so it was inevitable that they would be clumsy and care about one thing while losing sight of the other.

That's okay.

Xiao Chen has no intention of interfering in other people's grudges. Who knows who is the good guy and who is the bad guy.

He turned around and wanted to leave.

However, the female nun was already in a desperate situation and was trying her best to escape.

As soon as you realize there is someone else nearby, you immediately shout for help, "Help!"

"Fellow Daoist over there, please help me. I will thank you deeply when I get out."

Xiao Chen Quan Dang didn't hear it and walked deeper into the forest.

"Fellow Daoist, save me!"

But the female cultivator urged Spirit Artifact with all her strength and chased him, shouting at the same time, "Dao Comprehension Crystal!"

"As long as fellow Daoists help me, I am willing to offer Dao Comprehension Crystal with both hands!"

Huh?

Xiao Chen turned around and turned back.

Since there is Dao Comprehension Crystal, it is not impossible to temporarily act as a guard.
