Chapter 399: Divination of the Heavens, Past Events in the Secret Realm (Second Update)
Li Qing was horrified, almost thinking that his conversation with Niu and Sang about "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits" had been spied on and leaked.
But he immediately thought that if this was really the case, Zhao Xuan would not talk about it directly.
He calmed down and asked, "Why do fellow Taoists know about my blessed land's supernatural powers?"
Zhao Xuan shook his head sincerely: "That's not true. It's just that my spiritual plant is quite special and cannot be cultivated except in a blessed place."
Li Qing frowned slightly: "Before me, there were two masters of the Blessed Land in Dazhou. Why don't fellow Taoists go to them for help?"
Zhao Xuan sighed: "I don't want to hide it from fellow Taoists. Of course, I also came to find those two people. It's just that their magical powers are not enough to help me cultivate spiritual plants."
"I also asked for help many times, and then I found out that Youfu's magical power could help me, so I boldly invited you."
Li Qing was upset. After all, he had only told people once about "Spring Flowers and Autumn Fruits". But Sang and Niu are naturally not talkative people.
Then there is only one way for Zhao Xuan to know the news, and that is...
"Divination?!" Li Qing looked at the other party with determination.
Zhao Xuan couldn't help but smile bitterly: "After all, I can't hide it from fellow Taoist. But please don't worry, the divination results I got are very vague, and they don't even point to fellow Taoist."
"It only refers to my turning point, and I am the third owner of the blessed land in the Great Zhou Dynasty. I also pay close attention to domestic developments, and it is only through the combination of the two that I take the initiative to invite fellow Taoists to come to my cave."
Li Qing still felt a little uncomfortable: "Even so, why don't fellow Taoists come to my Kunpeng Blessed Land for help, why do you have to stop me halfway today?"
Zhao Xuan smiled: "Fellow Taoist Blessed Land has just been established, and it is not easy to use magical powers. Since I happened to meet you today, I naturally had to take a seat in advance."
Li Qing pondered for a moment, and finally raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Since Taoist friend is willing to give you precious spiritual tea, I will help you, so what's the harm?"
"Just one thing. My blessed land magical power requires a lot of resources. It can only be used at least once every ten years. The first time has been promised to another Taoist friend. If you want to use it, you have to wait another ten years."
Zhao Xuan showed a little disappointment on his face, but he still said cheerfully: "No problem, I have been waiting for hundreds of years, and I am not short of ten years."
Li Qing added: "Although this Yanlianxin Tea is precious, it is still far behind the loss of my blessed land's magical power. Fellow Taoist, I need to make up the difference."
Zhao Xuan also agreed: "This Yanlianxin Tea can be regarded as a deposit from me. After ten years, Taoist friends' magical powers can be used, and I will make up the required price based on consumption."
Li Qing nodded: "In that case, this deal is considered completed. Fellow Taoist, do you need to make a legal deed as proof?"
Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "I heard from people that Taoist friends are people of faith. This legal contract is not necessary. You can just fulfill the contract after ten years."
As he spoke, he took out a command talisman and gave it to the maid next to him: "Go and fetch all the Yanlianxin tea that I have collected, seal it in a jade box, and present it to Fellow Daoist Li."
The maid took the order and left.
Li Qing knew what the other party wanted, and he felt confident about it. He felt less restrained and poured himself another cup of tea.
He suddenly remembered another thing: "I heard that a few years ago, I, the Great Zhou Dynasty, was here, fighting for a secret realm with the Kingdom of Great Joy."
Li Zhe was ordered to come here and stayed there for several years, even giving birth to two children.
"Later I heard that I, Da Zhou, won this competition. I wonder what the mystery is? Fellow Taoist, would you like to clarify some of my doubts for me."
Zhao Xuan smiled and said: "My fellow Taoist, I have asked the right person about this matter. I was in charge of the previous battle for the secret realm."
He paused and recalled: "About twenty years ago, between our two fairy cities, someone saw a green bull beast pulling a cart past at night."
"At first, everyone thought it was some fellow Taoist or True Lord Nascent Soul passing by. After all, the green cow came suddenly and left mysteriously."
"But later, the green cow always appeared. After thinking about it for a while, everyone understood that it might be a secret realm."
Li Qing became interested: "I wonder what opportunities there are in this secret realm?"
Zhao Xuan sighed: "If fellow Taoist had come half a year ago, I would not have revealed a word. But times have changed and the things inside have been moved away, so I can talk about it."
He recalled for a while: "At that time, the process of actually opening the secret realm was also very strange. It was opened accidentally by a cowherd boy from a nearby mortal village."
"When we received the news and entered the secret realm, the cowherd boy was nowhere to be found."
"There is an alchemy room there, and in the middle there is an alchemy furnace containing a high-grade spiritual treasure. There is still residual heat. It seems that someone has just taken away a spiritual elixir."
"The first few people who entered the secret realm only smelled the lingering elixir fragrance, and their cultivation level went from the first level of Foundation Establishment to the ninth level of Foundation Establishment."
"If their foundation had not been stable and they might not be able to survive the thunder catastrophe, our two countries, Da Zhou and Da Le, would probably have to have a few more pill-forming comrades."
Li Qing couldn't help being shocked: "What kind of magical elixir is this?! Also, there is a high-grade spiritual treasure level elixir furnace in the secret realm? No wonder it caused a fight between the two sides."
In the world of cultivation, Master Jiedan uses magical treasures, and Master Yuanying uses spiritual treasures, which can be regarded as barely corresponding.
But just as magic weapons are precious, it is difficult for many real people to have one of them except for their natal magic weapons.
For the True Monarch Nascent Soul, spiritual treasures are even more rare to come by.
As far as Li Qing knew, Taojun Chixiao only had one natal spiritual treasure until the late Yuanying period.
It was only after he killed the Demon Lord of the South and killed the Nine Hell Demon King that he gained the second spiritual treasure.
As for Chixiao Daojun's disciple, Chu Mu Zhenjun, who survived the tribulation in Xuefeng Lake, there is a high probability that he does not have a spiritual treasure with him.
However, after hearing Li Qing's guess, Zhao Xuan shook his head: "The Lingbao Pill Furnace is certainly precious, but it is not the point."
"The most incredible thing in that secret realm is the entire alchemy room. There are hundreds of volumes of alchemy scriptures and Taoist books hidden in it. The mysteries in them are not inferior to the secret realm where the visualization diagrams were unearthed."
Li Qing couldn't help but be envious: "It turned out to be a complete set of alchemy inheritance?! What a pity! I couldn't attend the meeting!"
He asked curiously: "I wonder whose hands this inheritance will eventually fall into? And, since it is such an important inheritance, why do you have to recruit so many middle- and lower-class monks to work here?"
An embarrassed look appeared on Zhao Xuan's face: "The inheritance of the alchemy path and the spiritual treasure alchemy furnace were naturally taken by the National Master."
"It's just that in the previous episode, Xuan Palace was separated from the Great Zhou Dynasty, and the Imperial Master moved the entire alchemy room. Now I don't know where it is placed."
"As for why those middle and low-level monks are used? It's just to resist the magical power of fortune in the Kingdom of Great Joy."
"The way to bring good luck to the Kingdom of Great Bliss is to gather the wisdom and strength of all people to form a formation, which cannot be easily broken. We can only follow suit and fill it with people." (End of this chapter)
