The time goes back a little while.
Inside Xianhu Cave Heaven.
“The spiritual energy is really abundant.”
In front of the ruins of a dilapidated palace, Xu Taiping was looking westward vigilantly while silently feeling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in Xianhu Cave Heaven.
Just now, he and another group of sect disciples were sucked into Xianhu Cave Heaven together.
When he opened his eyes again, he was standing on the square of this palace ruins.
Then he was ordered by Layman Yuqing to wait here and could only leave and enter the depths of the secret realm when hearing his order.
Xu Taiping looked at Xi Zhou and found that there were also twenty or thirty people who were teleported here together.
“There were at least one hundred and several tens of people who were sucked into the Xianhu Cave together before, and there are only more than twenty here. That is to say, there are still more than one hundred people who were teleported to other places.”
While thinking about these things secretly, his gaze fell on the broken palace behind him.
Although this palace is damaged, most of it is only the trace of man-made damage. and the trace of erosion by time is not very serious. There should be a protective formation protecting it.
In the center of the main hall, there is a statue with its head cut off. The body of the statue is in human form, but a snake tail protrudes from under the hem of its clothes.
At a glance, it is a statue of a monster race deity being enshrined.
At this time, a beam of sunlight happened to shine down through the broken dome, making the statue look particularly strange and eerie.
Xu Taiping felt inexplicably chill on his body and instinctively withdrew his gaze and fell on the broken plaque of the main hall.
This plaque was cut in half by someone, and on the remaining half, two strange characters could be faintly seen.
If it weren’t for the prior communication with Fairy Lingyue, he would definitely not be able to recognize that the two characters written on this plaque are “Fengqi”.
”This should be the Fengqi Hall that Sister Lingyue mentioned, right？”
Xu Taiping was secretly delighted in his heart.
According to Fairy Lingyue’s understanding of this secret realm, when first entering the secret realm, one will be randomly teleported to the five halls on the outermost periphery of the secret realm.
One of them is this Fengqi Hall.
And the reason why he is secretly delighted is because this Fengqi Hall is among the five routes he pre-determined, and it is the most convenient route.
It just happens to connect all the spiritual medicines and spirit stones he needs, as well as the tunnel at the bottom of Yuhu Mountain and the entrance to the lower level of the secret realm, without having to take a special detour.
”If things go smoothly, it will take at most three days to collect all the things I’m looking for. Maybe I can even catch up with the Yuhu Seizing the Cauldron.”
With this thought in mind, he turned his head and looked towards the east.
As his gaze passed through the shade of the trees and the distant mountains, looking forward, a towering snow—capped mountain in the shape of a tilted gourd appeared in his line of sight — “Yuhu Mountain.”
That was exactly the Yuhu Peak transformed by the artifact in the hands of the great human cultivator during the Immortal-Demon War a million years ago.
And this Yuhu Mountain is also the center of the entire secret realm.
The five halls on the outermost periphery are just built with it as the center.
However, the main purpose of Xu Taiping’s trip was not to win the championship by carrying the tripod, but to collect the required materials in the secret realm. Of course, he would also go to Yuhu Mountain. After all, he had promised San San Jushi to cut down a few plum trees for him and try out his sword by the way.
It’s just that he wouldn’t rush to the top at the fastest speed like other disciples.
“You can fight to the death, but it has nothing to do with me. This time, it’s like giving myself a few days off after being in seclusion for so long.”
Xu Taiping stretched his lazy and thought to himself like this.
In the past three years, almost all of his time has been filled with cultivation, and he simply has no time to think about other things.
“Walk 130 miles north from Fengqi Hall to reach Xingluo Lake. A kind of clam pearl called Lanyin Pearl grows at the bottom of this lake. However, be careful of the catfish spirit at the bottom of the lake.”
After waiting for a long time without receiving the order from Yuqing Jushi, Xu Taiping began to practice the steps of the next action in his mind, and at the same time, his eyes looked forward aimlessly.
“Where did this country bumpkin come from? His eyes are so dirty.”
Just then, a man’s stern shout pulled Xu Taiping, who had already thought deeply, back.
After regaining his senses, his sight happened to fall on a petite and pretty girl.
Beside this girl, there was also a tall and strong young person standing.
And this youngster was glaring at Xu Taiping with anger on his face.
Xu Taiping immediately realized that this youngster should have misunderstood him, so he said with a bit of apology：
“I was just distracted and didn’t mean to offend.”
As he spoke, he moved his gaze aside.
“Obviously a lecher, do you know who we are…”
“Brother, stop talking！”
The youngster wanted to scold Xu Taiping a few more words, but was interrupted by the girl beside him.
“Sister, he is so rude, why can’t I say it？”
The youngster looked indignant.
“He wasn’t looking at me, you thought too much.”
The girl blushed with shame.
Regarding the dispute between the two, Xu Taiping ignored it and continued to take advantage of this gap to start the plan before coming in his heart.
“Hey, kid.”
Just as Xu Taiping deduces to the critical point, a young master with arrogance in his eyes suddenly walked in front of him greeting him while reaching out to pat his shoulder.
And Xu Taiping almost instinctively just avoiding the young master’s hand that was patting towards his shoulder.
“What’s the matter？”
Xu Taiping frowned and looked at the young master.
If he hadn’t just restrained his instinct to draw the knife, I’m afraid this young master’s hand would have been chopped off by him already.
He has been testing his knife with the Ghost of the Knife for three years, and now he has an instinctive vigilance towards things approaching him.
Upon hearing this, the young master who missed the pat on the shoulder immediately had a hint of anger in his eyes.
“Kid, do you know who you are talking to？”
“This is the young island master of Wuchen Island, Murong Song, Young Master Murong.”
“Which sect are you from？”
At this time, several teenagers behind the young master surrounded Xu Taiping, asking him questions one after another in a hubbub.
“What’s the matter？”
Xu Taiping asked helplessly again.
He just wants to get what he wants in this secret realm as soon as possible. Even if you are the son of the Heavenly Emperor, it has nothing to do with me.”
I am Murong Song. Meeting is ffate. If you are willing to join us and help me seize the tripod on Yuhu Peak. our Wuchen Island will definitely have a thank-you gift afterwards.”
Murong Song said with a smile.
