Chapter 63: Mysterious Spiritual Land

After a while, Bu Gong arrived at a mountain that was not too high or steep; and what came into view was a bluestone square with a radius of several hundred feet. There were people flashing on the square, and it was quite lively.Bu Gong’s eyes flickered as he took a general look at the slightly noisy square in front of him; the bluestone square was not too big, and there were three elegant pavilions behind it, each of which was about three or four stories high. Although they were not tall, they were exquisite and elegant.Moreover, when his spiritual sense swept across, he also vaguely felt that there were some strange energy fluctuations around this square; then Bu Gong’s spiritual sense stretched out and swept slightly, and he saw that his face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes became sharp in an instant.Because just when his spiritual sense swept across, there seemed to be an invisible energy shield around the square, which instantly bounced his spiritual sense back; and the energy fluctuations were extremely powerful. Bu Gong was like a small boat in front of him compared to a boundless ocean, giving him a feeling of unfathomable depth.He had no doubt that the energy fluctuations on the invisible energy shield, if triggered, could immediately crush it into ashes; realizing this, Bu Gong’s expression became serious, and there was a bit of caution in his eyes as he looked at the square in front of him.Just as Bu Gong was concentrating, a soft and light voice suddenly sounded in his ears: “Junior brother, may I ask why you are here?” Bu Gong was slightly stunned when he heard it, and then he looked towards the source of the voice. What caught his eye was a young woman with a slim figure, a pretty face, and a light green gauze dress.He saw the woman standing ten feet in front of him, with a faint smile on her lips, and her eyes looking at Bu Gong; “Senior sister, please allow me to ask, is this the residence of Senior Sister Han Qing?” Bu Gong also bowed slightly at this time and asked softly.”Hmm?” Hearing Bu Gong’s question, the woman in green dress frowned slightly and stared at Bu Gong with a bit of surprise; but Bu Gong’s expression remained the same, looking at the girl in front of him calmly, his face as usual without showing any strange color.Seeing Bu Gong’s reaction, the girl in the green dress relaxed her originally furrowed brows slightly, and then asked, “I wonder what this junior brother wants to see Senior Sister Han Qing about?”Hearing the other party’s question, Bu Gong pursed his lips slightly, and then said in a helpless tone: “I don’t know what it is specifically.” As soon as his voice fell, Bu Gong saw the girl in the green skirt in front of him, and the look she gave him suddenly became unfriendly.Seeing this, Bu Gong also smiled bitterly, and then said: “Senior Sister Han Qing sent someone to tell me a few days ago that I came to see her.”Hearing this, the girl in green dress stared at Bu Gong with a hint of suspicion in her beautiful eyes; seeing that Bu Gong did not seem to be lying, her expression softened a little.The girl pondered for a moment, then said to Bu Gong in a cold tone: “In that case, then come with me.”Seeing the girl in green dress in front of him, looking at him as if she was staring at a thief, Bu Gong felt a little funny in his heart; then he shook his head slightly and followed her.Bu Gong followed the girl, walked through the crowd in the square, and headed towards the most central of the three pavilions in the back. Along the way, Bu Gong saw the figures in the square, basically gathered in groups of three or five, talking about something, and almost all of them were people whose cultivation was at the peak of the second level of body shaping, or the third level of body shaping.Seeing this situation, Bu Gong began to murmur in his heart.After a while, Bu Gong and the other arrived in front of the pavilion in the center. Bu Gong looked at the pavilion in front of him. The whole building did not look tall, domineering, or majestic, but it exuded a sense of elegance and transcendence as a whole.Above the gate of the pavilion hangs a light blue plaque made of unknown material, but strangely, there are no words on it. There are only a few floating white clouds. At first glance, it gives people a sense of natural tranquility and a hint of otherworldliness.”Stop looking and come in with me quickly.” Just as Bu Gong was staring at the plaque above the gate, the girl in green skirt in front of him turned around and called out to Bu Gong in a tender voice.Bu Gong was also brought back to his senses by the delicate cry, and then he collected his thoughts and followed the girl in green dress into the pavilion; when he entered the gate of the pavilion, Bu Gong’s eyes were stunned for a moment.What he didn’t expect was that he actually saw Xiang Ling’er in this hall; then Bu Gong’s eyes moved slightly and he was startled again, because he saw another familiar face, Xuan Yue was also here.It has been almost a year since I last saw Xuan Yue Bu Gong. Bu Gong remembered that the last time they met was when he had just joined the sect and they met during the talent test.At this time, everyone in the hall also noticed Bu Gong who had just entered. Xiang Ling’er, who was standing on one side of the hall, saw that it was Bu Gong who came in, and a hint of joy flashed imperceptibly in her cold and beautiful eyes. As for Xuan Yue, she was also a little stunned when she saw Bu Gong.She was also a little surprised. She didn’t expect that Bu Gong would come this time. “You stay here for a while. Senior Sister Han will be here soon.” The girl in green skirt who had led Bu Gong in earlier said to Bu Gong, then turned around and left the hall again.”Senior Brother Bu Gong, you’re here.” At this time, Xiang Ling’er moved slightly with lotus steps and walked towards Bu Gong. “Well, I was delayed a few days ago. I just received the message from Senior Sister Han today, and I rushed here immediately.” Bu Gong nodded in response.”Junior Brother Bu Gong? Long time no see.” Xuan Yue was looking at Bu Gong at this time, and smiled softly with her red lips. Upon hearing that, Bu Gong chuckled, “Hehe… I didn’t expect that Senior Sister Xuan was here too. I met Senior Sister Xuan when I first started practicing, and it’s been almost a year now.”As he spoke, Bu Gong followed Xiang Ling’er to a place at the bottom of the hall and stood still.As for the other people in the hall, they looked at the young man in red who was greeted by two beauties as soon as he came in with curiosity, and there were different expressions in their eyes.At this moment, Bu Gong’s eyes slowly swept across the entire hall.The furnishings in the hall are not too luxurious. Apart from four pillars at the corners that are as thick as two people can hug, there are basically no other decorations. On the contrary, the decoration in the hall looks somewhat simple and natural, giving people a sense of visual grandeur.If one must find a decoration, it would be the fresh landscape painting hanging on the front wall of the hall, which exudes a natural and inaction atmosphere; just from this point, one can feel that the owner of this place is obviously a person who likes tranquility, simplicity and indifference.When Bu Gong’s eyes swept over the other people in the hall, he paused inadvertently, and then looked at a young man in a green shirt and with a fair face; Bu Gong had seen this man before, although the impression he had on him was not too deep, but Bu Gong recognized him.This man was the sect disciple named Xue Li who came with Hou Ming when he had an argument with Hou Ming in the pharmacy. When Bu Gong looked at this man, the other party seemed to have noticed something and looked at Bu Gong.The two men exchanged glances, and the man in green smiled at Bu Gong and nodded. Seeing this, Bu Gong also nodded, and then the two men looked away at the same time.Xiang Ling’er, who was watching Bu Gong from the side, also noticed the subtle movements of the two, but she didn’t say anything, but stood quietly; perhaps because of her practice, she had a faint sense of otherworldliness, which made her, who was already cold and aloof, look even more detached.”By the way, did you also receive a message from Senior Sister Han Qing?” Bu Gong suddenly turned his head and asked Xiang Ling’er. Upon hearing this, a strange look flashed in Xiang Ling’er’s beautiful eyes, and then a playful look flashed across her cheeks. Then she chuckled and said, “Guess?”Bu Gong was speechless when he saw Xiang Ling’er’s rare playful expression. Then another clear voice sounded in Bu Gong’s ears: “I already live here, why do I need someone to pass on the message?”Bu Gong was a little surprised to hear Xiang Ling’er say this: “Isn’t this Senior Sister Han Qing’s residence?””Yes, although it is Senior Sister Han’s residence, I live here too.” A smile flashed across Xiang Ling’er’s pretty face, and she looked at Bu Gong who was a little surprised with her beautiful eyes and responded.Hearing this, Bu Gong secretly sighed in his heart. The treatment of the inner disciples was indeed different from others. What’s more, Xiang Ling’er was not an ordinary inner disciple.Because when Bu Gong just arrived at this mountain, he subtly sensed that the immortal energy on this mountain seemed to be a little denser than other places; he had a slight guess in his mind that this might be due to some formations.In fact, during the first year since he started practicing, Bu Gong had read the books in the sect’s library countless times in order to find information about immortal roots, so his knowledge of the world of immortal cultivation had also increased significantly.Therefore, when he first sensed the unusual immortal energy on the mountain, he had some guesses in his mind; “Practicing in this place is more than one or two times faster than in other places,” Bu Gong secretly admired in his heart.”Just now I saw a lot of people in the square outside. Is something happening?” Bu Gong pondered for a moment and asked again.Xiang Ling’er paused for a moment after hearing this, and then asked with a hint of anticipation in her tone, “Brother Bu Gong, do you know about the Xuanling Secret Land?””Xuanling Secret Place?” Bu Gong heard this name for the first time, so there was a questioning look in his eyes when he looked at Xiang Ling’er.Seeing Bu Gong’s expression, Xiang Ling’er knew that Bu Gong definitely didn’t know about this place. After a moment’s hesitation, she said softly, “Actually, Senior Sister Han summoned you here for the selection of places to enter the Xuanling Secret Land in half a month.””Oh? What exactly is this Xuanling Secret Land? What kind of place does it sound like?” Bu Gong was also aroused some interest in this Xuanling Secret Land at this time.”I heard that the Xuanling Secret Land is a strange secret realm that opens once every ten years; however, entry is limited to cultivators whose cultivation level is below the Yuanyuan Realm, so every ten years, the sect will select a group of disciples in the Body Shaping Stage to enter the Xuanling Secret Land to try their luck…” Xiang Ling’er was also explaining carefully to Bu Gong at this time.It turns out that this mysterious and spiritual place is a secret space jointly managed by the three forces of Xianyang Sect, Shenjian Sect, and Shigui Sect.It is located in the Qingxi Region, the westernmost part of Sangyun Prefecture; and the entire Qingxi Region is dominated by the three major forces mentioned above, so such a strange space is naturally controlled by these three immortal cultivation forces.After Bu Gong had some understanding of this mysterious and spiritual place, he was secretly glad that he had arrived in time today, otherwise he would have missed it.
