Intending to Go, Strengthening Strength

"Qingchuan Secret Realm" opens once every ten years, and will open again in two years. A large number of entry slots for the secret realm will be sold, with cultivation limited to Qi Refining."

It turns out that the Azurewood Sect also controls such a immortal secret realm, which contains many spiritual medicines and treasures, including the three important spiritual medicines needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill.

However, judging from the Azurewood Sect's announcement, the good things have probably been scavenged by them.

After purchasing more detailed information about this secret realm from an intelligence dealer,

Wei Zhong discovered that this secret realm has been passed down in the Azurewood Sect for a long time, and its internal production is the foundation for the Azurewood Sect to dominate this place.

"Most of the demon beasts inside have been cleaned up by the Azurewood Sect, so there is no worry about demon attacks. Even if there are any, they are just some useless little demons.

As a secret realm, there are some dangerous places that the Azurewood Sect cannot handle. But as long as you strictly follow the methods in the information to pass or bypass them, there will be no major problems.

Then the only danger comes from fellow cultivators who enter the secret realm to search for treasures."

Wei Zhong made up his mind to participate after thinking for a moment.

His strength is not top-notch in Qi Refining, but he is definitely among the elite.

As long as he doesn't conflict with cultivators traveling in groups, even if he encounters a powerful one, he can escape without worry.

Of course, the main reason is that it would be a pity not to go to such a safe secret realm.

It would be even better if he had the opportunity to find the spiritual medicine needed for the Foundation Establishment Pill, so he wouldn't have to deliberately curry favor with Luo Mingyan.

He has too many secrets, so he should stay away from these sect forces.

In the market, the qualifications for the secret realm have not yet gone on sale, but it is already boiling.

I don't know how many shops have begun to sell various magical artifacts, elixirs, talismans and other items. Merchants know that cultivators who intend to explore the secret realm need to improve their strength the most at this moment.

The Azurewood Sect has already said that resources in the secret realm are scarce, so how can you grab them from other fellow cultivators if you don't increase your strength?

"Returning Spring Pill, Returning Spring Pill, top-quality Returning Spring Pill, take one pill and your injuries will be recovered immediately, a good helper for cultivators to fight and explore the secret realm..."

"Spirit Seeking Art, an essential spell for searching for spiritual objects in the secret realm. If you don't want to miss treasures, you must learn this kind of spell."

Wei Zhong became interested and went forward to check the price, one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones.

It's really expensive. Although it is a first-order high-grade spell, the price is still too outrageous.

Wei Zhong remembers that he only spent fifty Spirit Stones to buy a collection of spiritual arts, although the rank of the spells in it was low and many were incomplete, it also provided him with a powerful boost.

However, looking at the swarming crowd, Wei Zhong also sprinkled a handful of Spirit Stones and took a copy of the spell jade slip from the guiding cultivator.

A male cultivator outside the door saw that the cultivators were all coming to buy this Spirit Seeking Art, and sneered: "A bunch of idiots, there are only two years left before the secret realm opens, buying this spell is probably only enough to search for miscellaneous flowers and weeds in the secret realm."

Wei Zhong's expression remained unchanged, and he brushed past him.

"Senior Brother Yuan, this is the shop of the sect's Zhuang, a true disciple, so it's better not to talk nonsense here?"

Then he tugged at his sleeve:

"Maybe this is also the sect's idea. Didn't you see the endless stream of goods in these shops? When did our sect have so much stock?"

The latter's face changed:

"Junior Sister Yun is right, we should hurry and find the Spirit Seeking Rat. I must gather all the spiritual herbs needed to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill during this secret realm trip."

Before the words faded, the two had already left hand in hand.

Wei Zhong walked out from the side, watching the backs of the two people wearing sect uniforms as they departed.

Azurewood Sect uniform, inner sect disciples. When this secret realm opens, the Azurewood Sect will ultimately earn the most.

They not only sell slots to the secret realm, but also take advantage of cultivators' eagerness to improve their strength, selling elixirs, spells, and other protective items in large quantities.

As a modern person from his previous life, Wei Zhong was naturally very familiar with this tactic. This round of sales would probably exceed all the gains the Azurewood Sect obtained from the secret realm this time.

Spirit Seeking Rat? It really is worth buying one, but the price is probably already astronomical.

Walking towards the shop selling Spirit Beasts, Wei Zhong heard a familiar voice.

"Five hundred Spirit Stones, are you trying to rob me?"

The male disciple's voice was somewhat hysterical. The Spirit Seeking Rat was only a Rank 1 demon beast. Although there were not many demon beasts in Mangyuan Prefecture, the price of this rat had always been maintained between two hundred and three hundred Spirit Stones.

Now it had more than doubled.

"This fellow disciple, this is also due to the special circumstances. The sect elders set this price. Fellow disciple is free to buy, we will never force you."

Ji Wenpeng was so depressed that he was about to vomit blood:

"Then I won't buy it, I'll rent one."

"The rental fee is one hundred low-grade Spirit Stones, and the deposit is five hundred low-grade Spirit Stones."

"Why does an inner sect disciple still need a deposit?"

"Special circumstances, please understand, fellow disciple."

Ji Wenpeng held his storage bag and said nothing. He had already spent almost all the Spirit Stones in his hand in order to improve his strength.

The three hundred Spirit Stones he planned to buy the Spirit Rat with were borrowed from his fellow disciples. Who knew that the price of the Spirit Rat would rise so outrageously, and he would need twice as many Spirit Stones to afford it.

Renting one required a deposit of five hundred Spirit Stones. He had never heard of an inner sect disciple needing a deposit to rent a Spirit Beast before.

Wei Zhong watched from the side, almost laughing out loud.

This Azurewood Sect is really ruthless, they're even fleecing their own disciples at this time.

However, the price of this Spirit Rat is indeed a bit high. In that case, I might as well gather some Spirit Stones to buy a good magic artifact.

Wei Zhong turned and left.

Behind him came the sound of two people talking:

"Senior Brother, I still have some Spirit Stones here."

"Ah, Junior Sister, how can I use yours..."

The sound gradually faded away.

Wei Zhong knew his advantage lay in the fact that his cultivation speed of spells and techniques far exceeded that of ordinary cultivators.

Although he could cultivate the Beast Taming Art to an extremely profound level in these two years, Spirit Beasts had a limit.

It was far less cost-effective than mastering a Spirit Seeking Art myself.

He used Spirit Stones to exchange for a high-grade level one magic sword and a high-grade level one shield at the Magical Item Pavilion before stopping.

Wei Zhong changed back to Chu Zhong's appearance and returned home. He carried a pot of Spirit Wine to find Ning CanKun, only to find that the steward in charge of the Spirit Field had changed.

After inquiring, he learned that Ning CanKun had finished this task and was focusing on cultivation to prepare for the secret realm event two years later.

Wei Zhong left the Spirit Wine for the new steward.

On the way back, he remembered that Ning CanKun was now also at the ninth level of Qi Refining, but he was suffering from not having a Foundation Establishment Pill and dared not attempt Foundation Establishment.

Now, his lifespan was probably not much, so he was trying to make a breakthrough in this secret realm.

Perhaps they would meet in the secret realm.

Of course, Wei Zhong would enter as an unknown rogue cultivator at that time.

Back in his courtyard, Wei Zhong immersed himself in cultivation.

Now, his only task was to refine his magic power to perfection, and then practice spells, especially the Spirit Seeking Art.

Secret realm resources were scarce, and if he wanted to seize the opportunity to obtain spiritual herbs before the other cultivators, he would have to rely on this art.

Three months later, the Azurewood Sect held a grand ceremony for Luo Mingyan, the eighth true disciple.

To Wei Zhong's surprise, he did not join the Pill Hall, but became a disciple of Hall Master Yu of the Law Hall.

At the same time, the secret realm slots also went on sale and were immediately 'snapped up' by high-level Qi Refining cultivators.
