Chapter 55 Secret Realm

Blue sky, white clouds, dense forests, and gentle warm sunshine. As soon as Huan Yin stepped out of the teleportation array, he was shocked by the warm scene in front of him. He originally thought that the secret realm of trapped demons should be like the demon realm, with monsters rampant and miasma everywhere, but the current scene is really too different from his imagination.

Huan Yin looked at the sun and squinted his eyes, thinking that the magical power of this Wu Zonglao was really unfathomable. The secret realm he created was completely different from the outside world, and even the sun was as warm as the outside world. It is said in the book that "man can conquer nature". Now it seems that if the cultivation is sufficient, it is not impossible to change the world.

Huan Yin retracted his gaze and took a deep breath. The abundant spiritual energy here made his whole body refreshed. Then he raised his foot, walked around a small flower that was blooming at his feet, and walked forward on the soft green grass.

"Hey, isn't this light steel wood?" Huan Yin looked at a bunch of inconspicuous shrubs on the ground, and his eyes lit up. He had seen this light steel wood on the light screen transformed by the pillars of the Jiange platform. Although it was made of wood, it was harder than fine iron and was a good material for immortals to forge swords.

Huan Yin squatted down and wanted to dig out the light steel wood with his sword, but as soon as he squatted down, his eyes lit up again.

"Ha, heavy single leaf! How could I forget it." Huan Yin saw a bright silver leaf next to the light steel wood and was delighted.

This heavy single leaf is a companion of the light steel wood. Its color is like metal, but it is a herb. Because it has only one leaf, but it is extremely heavy, it is called heavy single leaf. This heavy single leaf is very rare, because light steel wood is rare, and this large clump of light steel wood is accompanied by only one heavy single leaf.

Heavy single leaves and light steel wood both play the role of making swords stronger, but the effect of heavy single leaves is much stronger than that of light steel wood. A skilled swordsmith only needs to integrate this small piece of heavy single leaf into an ordinary fairy sword, and the strength of the sword will be much greater than that of a sword made of light steel wood.

Swordsmiths who have the conditions prefer to use light steel wood as the main material, heavy single leaf as the auxiliary material, and other materials to make swords. The swords made are extremely strong. Even if a cultivator at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Condensation attacks the sword with all his strength, he cannot cause any damage to it.

This is the first time that Huan Yin has seen such a companion casting material. He carefully observed it for a long time, silently memorized the growth characteristics of these two materials in his heart, and then carefully used the sword to dig out the light steel wood and heavy single leaf with roots and soil, and put them in the storage bag. With Huan Yin's current sword-making attainments, he cannot use these two materials, but now that he has them, he can go back to ask the master, and then practice sword-making with real objects.

After collecting the materials, Huan Yin stood up, patted the dirt on his hands, and walked forward again.

Along the way, Huan Yin was simply delighted. There were sword-making materials of different textures, colors and effects everywhere. Although none of them were rare and excellent, they were just right for him, a low-level swordsmith in the Condensation Stage. Although these materials were not lacking in Wuliang Sect, with his previous status in Wuliang Sect, he could only find some wild materials in the mountains or buy materials from shops in the city. How could he get to use those good materials? Even Duan Yun, after losing all his cultivation, rarely had access to these materials.

In fact, there were not only many sword-making materials in this secret realm, but also alchemy materials everywhere. However, Huan Yin only occasionally read some of the alchemy in the classics in the pavilion, and did not know much, so he did not recognize most of them. But I think Ye Wuyou, who is now unknown, must be as delighted as Huan Yin, and is excitedly collecting "materials".

Huan Yin walked to a hill, and with his eyes already shining brightly, he saw a piece of fire-boosting stone exposed on the grass, and he was excited again. This fire-boosting stone can be used to boost the fire in the furnace for both sword-making and alchemy, and its effect is very powerful. Although monks with high cultivation can use their own magic to make fire and alchemy for sword-making, Huan Yin and his master Duan Yun can only rely on the fire in the furnace. On weekdays in the pavilion, Duan Yun often failed to forge swords because the fire in the furnace was not strong enough and the temperature was not high enough. Huan Yin thought that if he gave this thing to his master, he would be very happy.

Huan Yin ran over excitedly and was about to put away the fire-boosting stone. He was so excited that he had forgotten that this secret realm was also called "trapped demon". A giant python with a length of three feet and the thickness of a bucket suddenly emerged from the grass behind the stone, and opened its bloody mouth and bit Huan Yin!

"Swish!" At the critical moment, Huan Yin raised his hand and cast two wind spells, hitting the giant python's mouth directly. The giant python took a bite of the wind, and its belly suddenly bulged, and it flew out with a "bang".

Huan Yin exhaled, thinking that it was a close call just now. If the giant python was not only in the middle stage of the second level of Qi Condensation, he would probably suffer a loss under this sudden attack.

"Too careless." Huan Yin stared at the giant python and muttered to himself.

Huan Yin didn't know that he just felt that it was a close call, but the giant python was beaten inexplicably. Although it was a Taoist beast, it was a spiritual species among beasts after all, and it had intelligence. In the previous attack, it clearly felt that the other party's cultivation was lower than its own. It was only in the early stage of the second level of Qi Condensation. How could the other party resist it when it suddenly attacked. But what it never expected was that the other party not only resisted, but also directly blasted itself away in return.

However, this beast in the middle stage of the second level of Qi Condensation would naturally not think deeply about things it didn't understand. If it couldn't win, it would just run away. As a beast, it still had instincts.

After this attack, Huan Yin regained his spirit. Before, he had walked a long way from the edge of the secret realm to the center without realizing it. He had not been attacked by ferocious beasts along the way. That was because the ferocious beasts on the edge were all at the first level of Qi Condensation, and naturally would not take the initiative to run to a second-level Qi Condensation cultivator to die.

But now, he has gone deeper, and the ferocious beasts wandering around have also risen to the second level of Qi Condensation. Seeing that Huan Yin's cultivation is only at the beginning of the second level of Qi Condensation, the beasts naturally showed their fangs.

Huan Yin's goal is the center of the secret realm. Now he is still at the edge and there are treasures everywhere. Wouldn't the harvest in the center be more exciting? However, before that, he must find a way to find Wuyou, because Xuanyuanzi said that the ferocious beast in the center is probably at the sixth level of Qi Condensation. Although he is the third in this martial arts competition, he is not arrogant enough to challenge the sixth-level Qi Condensation beast alone.

On the way, Huan Yin was repeatedly attacked by fierce beasts. Although these beasts of the second level of Qi Condensation were blown away by him, he was a little annoyed, thinking that his strange cultivation was really a headache. What he didn't know was that the beasts that were blown away by him were actually more painful than his head. They thought that this human's cultivation was so high, but he had to suppress it to the point that it looked like only the early stage of the second level of Qi Condensation. Isn't this teasing them?

"Yu Bing Teng!" Huan Yin walked for a long time and saw a crystal blue ice-like vine lying on a bare ground in front of him. He was very surprised.

This Yu Bing Teng is a good material for sword casting, far beyond the ones he had seen before. The sword made of Yu Bing Teng is not only extremely strong, but also has the attribute of ice, which adds a cold force to the sword light and sword energy, making it more powerful.

However, according to the stone pillar in the Sword Pavilion, this Yubing vine can only grow on the cliffs of extremely cold places. Now the sun is shining brightly in this secret realm, but how come there is such a section of Yubing vine on the bare stone ground in front?

Sure enough, Huan Yin looked carefully and found that the Yubing vine was not inserted into the ground at all. It was not growing here, but was placed on the ground by someone.

Huan Yin thought of this and did not act rashly. Instead, he hid in the grass beside and watched quietly.

Sure enough, he stayed there for less than ten breaths, and a spirit fox with all white fur and two tails came into view. This is a two-tailed young fox, and its cultivation level is at the early stage of the fourth level of Qi Condensation. It seems out of place with the nearby monsters of the second level of Qi Condensation. However, its cultivation level is already very low among the multi-tailed spirit foxes. If it has three or four tails, it is no longer called a spirit fox, but a demon fox; if it has five or even six tails, it is called a demon fox; if it has seven or eight tails, it is called a fairy fox. Fairy foxes not only have great magical powers, but are also good at various illusion techniques. Even if a great and powerful person with seven perfect souls encounters it, he may have to retreat; as for the legendary nine-tailed celestial fox, although there are simple records in the classics, they all say that this spirit species can only be seen occasionally in the heavens.

After the two-tailed young fox appeared, its eyes kept patrolling the surroundings while cautiously approaching the section of Yubing vine on the ground. Obviously, this young fox, like Huan Yin, is very interested in this Yubing vine and wants to take it for himself.

When Huan Yin saw the appearance of this young fox, he had more questions in his mind. The appearance of this Yubing vine was already strange, and now the appearance of this four-level double-tailed spirit fox has added a bit of weirdness. More importantly, the young fox's expression and movements showed that it was clearly very alert. With its cultivation level, shouldn't it be able to run rampant in this area?

"Someone led it here?" Huan Yin quickly guessed, wondering if there was one of the other six people who came in with him?

However, the two-tailed fox did not intend to give Huan Yin enough time to figure things out. Although it was cautious, it quickly approached Yu Bing Teng.

Huan Yin saw that the young fox was about to succeed, and thought that it would be a pity if the treasure was taken by the beast. If someone really lured it, he could just snatch the Yu Bing Teng and return it. If the Yu Bing Teng was the treasure of this place, then he would make a fortune.

Thinking of this, Huan Yin no longer hesitated, and suddenly rushed out, crossing a distance of more than ten feet in an instant, appearing in front of the fox, blocking the Yu Bing Teng behind him.

The fox was obviously startled, but its body was unexpectedly flexible. Before Huan Yin could stand still, the fox had already rushed back quickly, much faster than Huan Yin.

Just as the fox was about to disappear, a blue shadow suddenly fell from the sky, cutting off the fox's path like a slash, and seemed to be trying to intercept the fox. However, the fox's agility was beyond the blue shadow's expectations. It paused, changed direction in an instant, jumped up, and disappeared into the bushes in less than half a breath.

The journey to the secret realm began, the blue shadow appeared, and a new round of excitement was just around the corner!
