Lin Chuan raised his hand to stop him. He turned to look at Qian Shouan and said in a calm tone, "Let's hand over the jade charm and Spirit Stone."
Qian Shouan smiled even happier, "Easy to say, easy to say. Come one by one, and you will be innocent."
Lin Chuan said nothing nonsense and took out two Water-Drawing Jade Talisman from the storage ring. They were obtained when Sky-Splitting Cliff killed two monks before. He looked at Qin Tiexin again. Qin Tiexin understood and took out three from the ring. They were also the spoils of Sky-Splitting Cliff's battles.
There were six of them in total. Five empty jade talismans were worth five people. Lin Chuan took out another thousand Spirit Stone and paid the money for the last person.
Qian Shouan checked the jade talisman, put Spirit Stone away, and waved to the guards. The four guards each took two steps to the side to make way for them.
"Good go, everyone, and I wish you good luck." Qian Shouan said with cupped hands, "If there is another chance to cooperate in the future, Qian will be waiting for you at any time."
Du Heng glared at him fiercely when he walked by. Qian Shouan didn't take it seriously, still smiled kindly, and nodded towards Du Heng.
Passing through the crack, the view suddenly widens.
At the entrance area of Secret Realm Trial, many monks have already returned early.
People gathered in twos and threes in the open space, some sitting on the ground, and some resting against the stone wall. Most of the people's clothes were in tatters, and a few still had unhealed injuries, wrapped in bandages, and their faces were ashen.
There are also those with glowing faces and great ambition. It seems that they have gained a lot, and they are showing off something in a low voice to the people next to them.
Star Selection Bureau officials were on duty at the entrance, checking everyone's Water-Drawing Jade Talisman one by one.
The queue was not long, but the inspection was careful. Each jade charm had to be infused with spiritual power to verify that it was taken from the Vast Waves Sea, and then recorded in the book.
About a quarter of an hour later, it was the turn of team Lin Chuan.
Everyone stepped forward one by one and handed over the jade talisman. The official took it, injected spiritual power into it, checked it, nodded slightly, and made a note in the book.
"All members of the team survived and returned on the 25th. The task of fetching water was completed." The official raised his head, with a rare expression of approval on his face, "Full marks. The resources collected in the secret realm are not owned by the Star Selection Bureau and belong to the individual. If you want to sell them, the purchase price of the Star Selection Bureau will satisfy everyone."
Lin Chuan handed it over and thanked him. He had no intention of selling resources here. The things still need to be distributed after everyone returns.
The official said again, "There are still five days until Secret Realm Trial officially ends. You can go back and rest first. Ten days after Secret Realm Trial ends, Skills Trial will begin. Please remember to attend on time."
The six people met in the rest area at the entrance. After several teams were ready, Star Selection Bureau officials organized everyone to step onto the teleportation array. With a flash of white light, everyone was teleported from the entrance of Secret Realm Trial to Morning Star Training Ground.
Familiar square, familiar bluestone ground. Ten Thousand Stars City in the distance lit up the lights in the dusk, dotted with stars.
Liu Suifeng stretched out. "Finally, I'm out. This month is more tiring than my year of training in the sect."
Du Heng patted the bulging Storage Bag: "I'm tired, but the harvest of this trip is worth it. Let's go back to Ten Thousand Stars City and find a restaurant to have a good meal. I'll treat you."
Liu Suifeng looked at Du Heng with a smile, "We agreed, we can eat as much as we want without feeling bad. I have to join forces with Senior Brother Ming to make you poor!"
"No problem, eat whatever you want. Even if you want to eat Golden Core Late Stage Demon Beast, I can still get it for you." Du Heng patted his chest proudly.
Qin Tiexin smiled and said nothing. He was indeed hungry. This month in the secret realm, he rarely had the opportunity to stew Demon Beast meat. He basically relied on Qi and Blood elixirs to maintain consumption. He had long wanted to have a big meal.
Lin Chuan looked at the crowd and said, "Well, let's go back to Ten Thousand Stars City to have something to eat and relax first. Then everyone goes home to rest and make Skills Trial preparations in advance. If you need to buy anything, please take advantage of this time to prepare it. Xu Ying and I will sort out the income from the secret realm in the past two days and find a place to distribute it in two days. You can also think about what you need."
Ling Shuyao walked up to everyone, cupped his hands and said, "Everyone, if you excuse me, I have to go back to Imperial Dao Arts Workshop to deal with some things first. If you need to buy martial arts Cultivation Method, come to me at any time and I will give you a discount."
Lin Chuan nodded. "Fellow Daoist Ling, take care."
Ling Shuyao smiled, glanced at Qin Tiexin again, and stopped talking. In the end, he just said "goodbye", turned around and left, and his figure quickly disappeared around the corner of the street.
Qin Tiexin picked up the Zen staff and followed the crowd in the direction of the Ten Thousand Stars City restaurant. The night wind blew from the end of the street, and Liu Suifeng couldn't wait to tell Du Heng about the names of the dishes.
Ten Thousand Stars City In the largest Starlight Restaurant, in the private room facing the window on the third floor, five people sat around a large round table.
The table was filled with dishes, steaming hot, and the aroma went straight to the nose. Du Heng said he was treating guests, and Liu Suifeng was not merciful when ordering, and even ordered six dishes of spiritual animal meat., a pot of spiritual wine, and a few Ten Thousand Stars City local signature dishes. Finally, a soup was added, which was said to be made from deep-sea spiritual fish. A bowl costs thirty yuan Spirit Stone.
Liu Suifeng was the first to move his chopsticks. His mouth was full of oil after eating, and he said vaguely, "Du Heng is bleeding this time. You have to eat back."
Du Heng rolled his eyes at him. "I need your food, so why are you so anxious?"
"There's no hurry." Liu Suifeng put another large piece of braised venison into his mouth, "There is no shop like this in this village. Next time you treat me, you still don't know the Year of the Monkey and the Horse."
Xu Ying eats slowly, chews carefully, and picks up food for Lin Chuan from time to time. Lin Chuan eats whatever she picks up, without being picky.
Ling Shuyao is not here, there are only five of them.
When he was almost done eating, Lin Chuan put down his chopsticks, looked around at everyone, and said, "Skills Trial needs to be prepared in advance."
Several people stopped, put down their dishes and chopsticks and looked at him.
"According to the information I got, Skills Trial will be carried out in four days, one item per day."
"Alchemy, talisman making, formations, and weapon refining are the four major categories. The remaining mechanisms, puppets, and beast masters, which are more niche, will not be openly compared. There may be special assessments, but they will not be counted in the final ranking."
Liu Suifeng swallowed the meat in his mouth and patted his chest. "I will definitely master the formation. I can't do anything else. This first place is definitely mine."
He spoke firmly, with a bit of arrogance on his face.
Everyone present knew about his formation skills, and no one refuted it. In the secret realm, Liu Suifeng's formation disk saved everyone many times. His talent in formations, Star Selection has few opponents if you look at it.
Xu Ying put down his chopsticks and said softly, "I want to participate in alchemy and see how good I am."
She is from the Jade Cauldron Pill Pavilion. She has been in Alchemy Chamber since she was a child. Alchemy is her specialty. Lin Chuan nodded. "Xu Ying should be able to get a good ranking if she goes to participate in alchemy."
Xu Ying smiled without boasting.
Lin Chuan turned to Du Heng: "What about you, what do you think?"
Du Heng shook his head. "I won't join in the fun. My little skill in weapon refining will be embarrassing if I go up there. It's better to save your energy and prepare well Arena Trial."
Lin Chuan looked at Qin Tiexin again. "Where is Senior Brother Ming?"
Qin Tiexin thought for a moment and said, "I want to participate in weapon refining."
