The return journey was much faster than the journey here.
Several people were already familiar with the route, and most of the Demon Beast and dangers along the way had been cleared away. In addition, Qin Tiexin's spiritual power and Qi and Blood had recovered to about 87%, and the journey was faster than when they set off.
They deliberately avoided the direction of Pure Land Chan Temple. There might be a lot of monks gathering there right now, so it was not easy to mess with them, and there was no need to do so.
Lin Chuan's judgment is very clear: you have already taken what you should take, and going back will only get you into trouble.
Along the way, Lin Chuan did not order any more exploration of new areas. The harvest from this trip was enough, maybe even the most among all the monks. He just cleared up a few resource points that he had not had time to explore before.
Every time he arrived at a place, Liu Suifeng would first use the array disk to scan and confirm that no one else had arrived before leading the team in. Once he found traces of someone coming, Lin Chuan would directly lead everyone around without stopping.
For them, getting back safely and in time is more important than anything else.
There are two small Law Artifact debris accumulation sites. One is the site of a small sect's garrison thousands of years ago, with only a few broken walls and a martial arts field swallowed up by weeds. The other is in a dry valley, where many Law Artifact fragments are scattered, mostly Lower-Grade Law Artifact. The spiritual content is not high, but the advantage is that there are a lot of them.
Qin Tiexin took the initiative to give these harvests to other teammates. He only picked a few Law Artifact fragments that still had spiritual power, saying that they could be used as auxiliary materials when refining weapons.
Du Heng couldn't see it and stopped him. "Senior Brother Ming, these fragments are not worth much money. You have given up all the good things to us. What's the point of taking a bunch of rags for yourself?"
Qin Tiexin shook his head. "These are enough."
Five days later, several people finally saw traces of the crack.
It was a light blue slit that stretched between the two peaks, like a torn hole. From a distance, there was only a thin line. When I got closer, I realized that the light slit was as high as two people, with varying widths, and a light blue mist of light constantly overflowing from the edge.
After passing through the crack, you can return to the entrance of Secret Realm Trial and return Water-Drawing Jade Talisman. This trip is officially over.
Twenty-five days have passed since entering Secret Realm Trial. If you return within thirty days, you can get full marks and still have plenty of time.
Liu Suifeng When he saw the crack, his whole body became relaxed and his steps became lighter. "We're finally here. I almost forgot what it's like to sleep on a bed."
At this moment, Lin Chuan gently pulled him. "There is someone in front."
Liu Suifeng immediately stopped talking.
Several people stopped. On the only way through the crack, there were four tall monks guarding four directions, faintly surrounding the crack in the middle. The four were all uniformly dressed in black, with knives on their waists, and they stood upright. At first glance, they were well-trained guards.
A person in the middle is sitting on an elegant rosewood stool, holding a folding fan. There is a bronze tripod in front of him. The tripod is as tall as a person. The tripod is engraved with complicated patterns, and you can't see what's inside.
Sitting on the stool is a young man with a fair face and a fat figure. He has a smile on his face and looks kind-hearted. His eyes are not big. When he squints, he looks a bit like Qian Donglai.
The top-quality cassock is full of brilliance, even more ostentatious than the one worn by Qian Donglai. The whole body is silver-white, with golden cloud patterns embroidered on it. Spiritual Qi is eye-catching.
The cultivation level is not high, comparable to Foundation Establishment Late Stage. The four guards are not weak, they are all Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and the leader is already Foundation Establishment Peak Stage.
"Qian Shouan." Ling Shuyao recognized him at a glance and said in a low voice, "Myriad Treasures Pavilion's second son, the younger brother of Qian Donglai. His cultivation is average, but his business acumen is very strong. Various business ideas are emerging one after another. I don't know what I am doing here."
Several people wanted to take a detour, but Liu Suifeng flipped through the records they carried with them and frowned. "The nearest other crack is still more than half a day away. It's too far to go around, and the terrain there is not good."
Ling Shuyao has interacted with the Myriad Treasures Pavilion several times and is quite familiar with the Qian brothers. She took a few steps forward and said, "Second Young Master Qian, long time no see. I wonder why the Second Young Master set up a card here?"
Qian Shouan recognized her, his eyes lit up, and he stood up and returned the greeting. "It turns out to be Deacon Ling. I'm glad to meet you."
As he spoke, he patted the bronze tripod in front of him and smiled a little deeper, "Nothing else, just to make it convenient for everyone."
"Convenient?" Ling Shuyao doesn't know why.
Qian Shouan stretched out his hand to lift the lid of the cauldron, and a salty smell rushed out. Qin Tiexin smelled the smell, his brows moved slightly, and he saw the gray-blue water swaying gently in the cauldron, and there was a faint spiritual light.
"What is in this cauldron is exactly Vast Waves Sea's seawater." Qian Shouan smiled kindly, "I spent a lot of effort to get this specially. If you haven't obtained the seawater, you can get it from me, absolutely fidelity. If you fill up a jade talisman with three thousand Spirit Stone, you can issue an IOU and pay it back when you go out. Seawater is limited, first come, first served."
Everyone was stunned for a moment.
Three thousand Spirit Stone, one jade talisman.
Liu Suifeng's eyes were widened. The man in front of him was sitting there talking and selling a ladle of sea water for three thousand. Isn't this pot going to be sold for tens of thousands? Spirit Stone? And "you can issue an IOU". This is a business at the exit of the secret realm.
"This mind... is amazing." Liu Suifeng held it in for a long time before uttering this sentence.
Qian Shouan added, "But judging from your cultivation and status, you are all among the best. You must have successfully taken the sea water, right? This is easy to handle. Just hand over an empty Water-Drawing Jade Talisman and let one person pass. Anyway, after leaving the secret realm, the jade talisman is useless."
He paused and glanced at everyone. "This is for those monks who have been robbed Storage Bag or who have lost their jade talismans. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the Star Selection Bureau to go out empty-handed. I am a kind-hearted person and I don't want to see others in trouble."
Ling Shuyao asked, "What if there is no jade talisman?"
"It's okay if you don't have it." Qian Shouan shook his fan and said in a casual tone, "One thousand Spirit Stone per person, or a detour. I have spent such a big price, I can't lose money, right? You guys can't agree? Choose one of the two, never force it."
Du Heng's face darkened, and he lowered his voice and said to Lin Chuan, "This guy has monopolized the entrance. I don't believe he can really block the road. How about trying to force his way in?"
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly and glanced around.
Liu Suifeng took a step closer and said in a voice that only a few people could hear, "Something is wrong. Not only are these people here, there are also formations around them. The power is not low. I sensed at least three formation bases, which echo each other. I am afraid they are specially used to deal with intruders."
"Array?" Du Heng frowned.
Liu Suifeng nodded and said no more, but his expression said everything. That formation was not easy for him to deal with. If he forced his way through, even if he could win, he would still have to pay a heavy price.
Xu Ying whispered, "If that doesn't work, just take a detour. It won't take too long even if it takes half a day."
Qian Shouan seemed to have heard something, patted the folding fan again, and added, "Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention. The two recent cracks have been temporarily closed by me using formations. If you want to take a detour, it will take at least one day."
He smiled as if he was talking about something trivial.
Du Heng's face turned completely dark, and the heavy sword had been drawn out an inch. "You..."
