Qin Li's Trial

"Three Saint Artifact!"

Inside the tavern, a young man looked excited:

"Whoever takes the Heavenly Pride Ranking will be rolling in money. Besides the Saint Artifact, there are all sorts of resources—it's incredible!"

"Three Saint Artifact are probably still too few."

Someone spoke, looking up at the sky.

"With so many rewards, the competition must be incredibly fierce. The one who manages to take away three Saint Artifacts will likely be favored by fate, and that's the most attractive part."

"Alas, we probably don't have a chance. All sides have placed such heavy bets; those they bring out must be the most outstanding talents."

"There's no need to be so pessimistic. There's still a chance. The top thousand will receive a reward. With some effort, there's still hope."

"That makes sense. Besides, I've heard that there are opportunities within that secret realm. Even if we don't get the rewards, we might still make a fortune from the chance encounters."

"So, you're planning to get involved too?" one of the people nearby asked, glancing at them.

"Yes, you're involved too, brother?"

"Hmm." The man nodded, glanced at the group, and said:

"Just a heads-up, if you're planning to participate, you should start preparing your travel supplies during this time."

"The Southern Region are not a nearby place. Although news travels very quickly, without good tools, it can take quite a while to get there."

Thank you for the reminder.

"These three parties are certainly playing a high game."

On Hidden Origin Peak, after reading the latest news, Lu Changzhi gently shook his head.

They're even willing to give away Saint Artifact as rewards.

However, it's worth mentioning...

Although both are sacred sites, the Star Moon Holy Land and the Cloud Heaven Holy Land did not have such a grand gesture.

Although some resources were offered as rewards, they still couldn't compare to the level of Saint Artifact.

However, he didn't have any particular thoughts about these things.

It's not that I look down on it.

They wanted to get these things, but they wanted to be the center of attention.

The cost was considerable.

At this moment, the system's voice suddenly sounded in Lu Changzhi's ear:

"Qin Li's Disciple Trial mission has been confirmed. Would you like to view it?"

Lu Changzhi's expression shifted, and he immediately spoke:

"Check."

Brush.

A flash of light.

[Qin Li's Disciple Trial]

[Trial Details: One month later, collect the essence blood of ten thousand spirit beasts within the Trial Realm.]

[Trial Restrictions: Can only be completed by Qin Li alone or with the assistance of her sect.]

[Trial Reward: Qin Li's Exclusive System.]

Lu Changzhi glanced at it and raised an eyebrow.

"Ten thousand?"

This is no small number.

Furthermore, these ten thousand were not ordinary demonic beasts, but spirit beasts.

Monsters, generally speaking, are not very strong and are the most common type of creature.

Spirit beasts are different; they are generally superior to demon beasts.

Their potential strength will also be much greater, just like the Iron-Armored Brown Ape in the ruins, which is a spirit beast.

"This doesn't seem like a task that can be accomplished overnight."

Speaking softly, Lu Changzhi focused his attention on a section of the trial and asked:

"System, what is the Trial Realm?"

As the voice faded, a flash of light appeared, and a map materialized before Lu Changzhi's eyes.

A red dot represents the location of the Trial Realm, which is quite far from the light dot indicating one's own location.

"This location..."

Lu Changzhi thought back for a moment, his expression somewhat strange:

"The Southern Region, the secret realm mentioned by the Great Zhou Sacred Dynasty?"

The information Cang Wenyu sent earlier mentioned the approximate location.

Let's calculate the time again.

It seems to match up.

"However, could there be so many spirit beasts in that secret realm?"

Lu Changzhi had some doubts about this.

If it were a demonic beast, that wouldn't be surprising.

But as for spirit beasts...

"System, are you sure there are no problems with this trial mission?"

Lu Changzhi asked a question.

"Rest assured, Master," the system responded.

"The trial tasks given by the system are all based on evidence."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi did not ask any further questions and instead looked towards the Southern Region.

"So, that secret realm seems to be somewhat special."

After saying that, Lu Changzhi got up and went to find Qin Li.

"A month from now, a secret realm will be opened in the Southern Region for younger generations to practice in. You will need to hunt some spirit beasts at that time."

Qin Li nodded:

"Okay, I'll get ready."

No need to ask why.

Since it's Master's arrangement, I'll just do it.

After thinking for a while, Lu Changzhi went to see Mu Fan and Gu Chen again.

If Qin Li were to complete it alone, it would inevitably take a considerable amount of time.

More people means faster processing time.

In short, there's still a month left, so make plenty of preparations.

After explaining all this, Lu Changzhi returned to the house.

With a thought, the array sealed off the surroundings, and Lu Changzhi took out the Core of the Source of Water.

I'm not sleepy yet, so I'll take a short break to relax.

After the matter of the Struggle of the Heaven's Chosen was settled.

All parties are now making every effort to prepare.

Such a grand event, even if you can't win a prize, it would be excellent to go and experience it.

Not to mention, there are rumors that the trial takes place in a secret realm with an unimaginably vast space.

Even a tiny bit of great fortune, falling upon an ordinary person, can be a tremendous blessing.

For a time, all parties entered a relatively peaceful period.

As a result, the news brought by the sect leader has been less exciting in the past few days.

On this day, Lu Changzhi pulled up another batch of seedlings for everyone.

Before returning to the courtyard, the spiritual energy within his body fluctuated, and his cultivation level began to rise in a clearly perceptible manner.

Has it broken through?

Lu Changzhi said softly:

"It must be because of refining the Core of the Source of Water."

Although it wasn't fully refined, I could still clearly feel the improvement in my cultivation level when I refined it in my spare time.

Regaining his composure, Lu Changzhi roughly calculated the time.

"Breaking through to the Saint Realm before the secret realm opens will probably be quite difficult."

Shaking his head, Lu Changzhi didn't dwell on the matter.

If you can't break through, you can't break through.

It's good to have more options.

"Master."

At this moment, Gu Chen walked over quickly and called out to him.

Lu Changzhi turned around and looked:

What is it?

"This disciple plans to be away for a few days."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi's first reaction was to check Gu Chen's sign-in task.

Sure enough, it was because of the sign-in location.

Judging from its location, it should be within the territory of Aid the Azure Gate.

"It's rare to have a distance like this again."

Lu Changzhi thought to himself.

Gu Chen had some sign-in tasks during this period.

However, the distances are all very limited, and they are not too far from Hidden Origin Peak.

It's easy to do, but the quality of the rewards is also rather average.

Of course, the reward quality is average, but it doesn't affect the attribute points.

Thanks to Gu Chen's diligent sign-in efforts, as the master, he gained a lot of attribute points for free, making his lifespan even longer.

"Now that we're further away, the quality of the rewards should also be higher."

Thinking to himself, Lu Changzhi was about to respond.

But then Xiao Ye strode out of his small house and said:

"Senior Brother, may I come with you on this outing?"
