Chapter 1060 Suddenly
After the auctioneer finished speaking, the scene fell into a long silence, and all the cultivators looked at the gem eagerly.
"The auction ends here. If there are fellow Taoists who are willing to participate in the exploration of the secret realm in one year, they can wait in the Wanling Market at that time." Li Taichang stood up and announced.
Everyone couldn't wait to get up. The cultivators who had traded had to go to the back hall to complete the settlement, and the others left immediately. They had to hurry up and bring the news back.
This opportunity must not be missed!
At this time, Li Taichang stood in front of a Lianxu cultivator and said, "Hand over the other magic weapon that controls the secret realm to the family as soon as possible."
This person's name is Zhou Qing'an, the patriarch of the Lianxu Zhou family. The last auction item is the treasure that the Zhou family got by chance.
When the Zhou family got a pair of magic weapons, they were very excited and felt that the day of the family's rapid development was coming. After all, this is a treasure that controls the secret realm. Regardless of the grade of the secret realm, the spiritual objects growing in it and the spiritual fields everywhere will provide a lot of help to the development of the Zhou family.
But no one expected that this was actually a seventh-level secret realm!
The degree of danger far exceeded the Zhou family's carrying limit. The Zhou family was just a refining family, and there were not many refining cultivators in the family.
After exploring the secret realm and paying a huge price, the Zhou family had to give up because it was really out of pocket. Those high-level spiritual objects were guarded by powerful monsters, and they were no match at all.
Originally, the Zhou family wanted to seal the magic weapon and wait until the family had enough power to explore again, but unexpectedly, a traitor was born in the family and sold the news to a combined force in the East China Sea.
The Zhou family quickly realized the danger and believed that it was very likely to lead to the destruction of the family. If they wanted to survive, the Zhou family would either take the initiative to hand over the magic weapon or find a force that could compete with it.
The Zhou family naturally chose the latter, and it was the most powerful Li family in the surrounding area.
However, the Zhou family was also unwilling to hand it over directly. They originally planned to play some tricks, hoping to obtain some cultivation resources from the secret realm.
But they didn't expect to encounter the auction held by the Li family, so they were trembling with fear and made clear the conditions, fearing that the Li family would think they were greedy and take the magic weapon away directly.
Fortunately, the Li family still had some face and did not kill people to take the treasure.
Now thinking back, Zhou Qing'an still couldn't help but feel scared.
Now hearing what Li Taichang said, he nodded repeatedly and said: "Please wait for a moment, Patriarch Li, and the other gem will be delivered immediately."
After a moment, an elder of the Zhou family came over and presented the remaining magic weapon with both hands.
"Well, no problem."
After checking, Li Taichang said with satisfaction: "When you go back, you can directly tell the combined force that you are protected by the family. If they are still stubborn and dare to take action, activate this jade talisman, and the family's support will arrive in less than half an hour."
Wanxian Mountain is far away from the Zhou family, but it is only more than a thousand miles away from Wanling Island. There are also several combined cultivators on the island now.
If any combined force dares to attack the Li family, it will not be so easy to end it.
It just so happens that after the Li family became a Mahayana force, it has not established its prestige. If this combined force takes the initiative to offer sacrifices, it would not be bad.
"Yes! Thank you, Patriarch Li!" Zhou Qing'an was overjoyed when he heard this. He took the jade talisman with trembling hands, carefully put it into the storage magic weapon, and respectfully stepped back and left.
After they walked away, the elders on the side couldn't help asking: "Why does the clan leader treat the Zhou family so well? We can just get rid of them directly and occupy the seventh-level secret realm alone. Letting so many cultivators in this time, I don't know how many precious spiritual objects will be lost."
Li Taichang didn't say anything about his short-sightedness, but only said: "According to the Zhou family, there are a large number of seventh-level monsters in the seventh-level secret realm. With only the dozen or so ancestors of the family, I don't know when the secret realm can be cleaned up."
"Instead of continuing to waste it, it is better to pay some spiritual objects first and let all forces help to develop the secret realm as soon as possible. This will be more helpful to the development of the Li family."
Just as the two were talking, Shuanglong Valley suddenly erupted with pressure, and the calamity clouds gathered quickly.
Many cultivators who had not left yet also looked in the direction of the movement.
"This is... someone in the Li family is going through the calamity?!"
"I don't know what realm the cultivator is in."
After the calamity cloud took shape, everyone couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. It was not a great thunder calamity, but a combined thunder calamity.
If the Li family gave birth to Mahayana cultivators in a few years, the forces that originally did not intend to join the Li family would have to change their minds.
Because this speed of improvement is really too shocking.
However, even the combined thunder tribulation has attracted the envy of some cultivators, because their forces do not have a combined one.
But it is precisely because of this thunder tribulation that the Li family began to send off the cultivators and asked them to leave Wanxian Mountain as soon as possible. After all, if there are people with bad intentions among these cultivators and destroy the thunder tribulation, it will be bad.
Even if they are tortured in every way afterwards, it will not help.
When the calamity cloud just began to form, the Li family reacted quickly, and a large number of clansmen began to take action and appeared outside Shuanglong Valley to help protect the law.
"Which ancestor is the one who crosses the tribulation?" Li Taichang hurried over and asked an elder beside him.
"It's Qingxuan Lingzu."
When Li Taichang heard this, most of his worries disappeared immediately. He believed that with Daqing's ability, he would be able to get through this thunder tribulation smoothly.
He knew that Daqing was best at various defensive powers, and resisting thunder was no problem.
The fact is that just as Li Taichang thought, the extremely powerful tribulation thunder was unable to break Daqing's defense, allowing Daqing to solve all the tribulation thunder very easily.
As for the inner demon calamity? For Daqing, there would be no problems, and his inner demons would be solved in a matter of seconds.
In less than an hour, Daqing successfully broke through and merged, without any ups and downs in the whole process.
Wow——
The various forces who were sent out of Wanxian Mountain by the Li family did not rush to leave, but watched around.
When they found out that the thunder tribulation had been solved so quickly, they couldn't help but exclaim.
"This senior is so powerful. He solved the thunder tribulation so quickly."
"This is the fastest speed I have ever seen!"
Because of this incident, everyone has a new respect for the Li family.
In Wanxian Mountain, everyone was cheering for Daqing's breakthrough, including Li Zhirui.
As the spirit beast that has accompanied Li Zhirui for the longest time, his feelings for Daqing are far deeper than those of several other spirit beasts, so he naturally hopes that Daqing can go further.
"You finally made a breakthrough, we are just waiting for you." Xiao Qing said with a wanton smile.
There is no mockery in the smile, but a kind of showing off.
In the past practice, Da Qing had always been on top of him. If he finally did it more than once, Xiao Qing would naturally show off.
"I didn't expect that I was the one holding everyone back." Daqing didn't take it to heart, but instead made fun of it.
If it weren't for his age, Daqing wouldn't have been able to maintain the lead.
"Brother Ninth, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have surpassed us by a big level!"
Li Zhirui smiled when he heard this and said, "I'll wait for you in front."
"I don't think we can wait. After all, Ninth Brother, your cultivation speed is really amazing. By then, I'm afraid you will have overcome the catastrophe and become an immortal." Xiao Qing next to him said seriously.
"Ha ha ha ha."
There was a burst of laughter at the scene.
Li Zhirui shook his head slightly and said: "Daqing, hurry up and consolidate your realm. There will be a seventh-level secret realm waiting for you to explore in a year. Don't miss this opportunity."
"good."
Daqing agreed, confessed to everyone, turned around and entered the cave, and began to consolidate his realm and adapt to his cultivation.
Others have also left one after another, and they have to start preparing for their trip to the secret realm in a year's time, especially those from the Void Clan. Their cultivation is not stronger than that of the Fusion monks, but they are going to such a dangerous secret realm to explore and hunt for treasures. If they don't do more in advance, If you make some preparations, you may die in the secret realm!
…
In some fairy city.
"Have you heard? The Li family controls a seventh-level secret realm and allows all the forces that participated in the Mahayana ceremony to enter."
"When did the Li family have such good intentions? Maybe they lured everyone there on purpose and let all the monks die."
"I think so too. How precious is the seventh-level secret realm? With the Li family's heritage, how could it be possible not to keep it as your own, but to share it?"
"Hmph! What do you know?"
The white-robed monk said with arrogance: "This seventh-level secret realm was not originally controlled by the Li family, but was in the hands of a certain force. The latter made some demands, probably because the strength was too low to keep it. In the seventh-level secret realm, let the Li family step forward while he collects some spiritual objects from behind. "
"I see. No wonder the Li family is so generous."
The other monks suddenly realized.
"I heard that after the grand ceremony that day, the Li family also held a grand auction. I don't know if there are any precious spiritual objects. How about this Taoist friend tell us to open our eyes." A certain monk suddenly said.
"Yes, yes. Looking at my Taoist friend's elegant appearance, I must be well-informed."
Most of the others were born as loose immortals and had developed a keen eye. How could they not see that this monk was not experienced in the world and was the most gullible? What does it matter if he just said a few nice words?
The monk in white couldn't help but smile when he heard the crowd's admiration, and proudly told everyone about the auction.
Everyone was fascinated by it and their horizons were greatly broadened.
"I don't know if we can enter the secret realm after a year?"
"It should only be possible for those forces that participated in the auction." As he said this, he couldn't help but sigh.
These casual cultivators, even if the opportunity arises, they are not qualified to collect it.
"We might as well give it a try then. Maybe the Li family will agree. Anyway, so many monks have already entered, so there shouldn't be a few of us behind."
"Yeah, didn't you say that the secret realm needs a lot of monks to develop it? We just happened to go over to help."
Many casual cultivators agreed to go to Wanlingfang City in a year to try their luck.
If the Li family agreed, it would naturally be their chance. Even if they disagreed, it wouldn't matter. There was no way the Li family would kill them in front of so many monks.
It's just that these third-level cultivators have never thought about how dangerous the seventh-level secret realm is. With their cultivation of spirit transformation and void refining, if they go into the secret realm, only a few can escape unscathed.
The white-clothed monk quietly left while the cultivators were discussing, and after going around in a circle, he actually returned to Ten Thousand Immortals Mountain!
Obviously, he was specially arranged by the Li family to spread the news among casual cultivators.
The purpose is to attract casual cultivators to go to the secret realm and clean up the monsters.
Although the strength of the independent cultivators is relatively weak, they are numerous. They cannot deal with those big monsters, but some small monsters can still be dealt with.
And there are many people like him who spread the news.
…
Spring goes and autumn comes, and a year passes in a flash.
A few months ago, Daqing consolidated his realm and adapted to his own cultivation. He began to prepare various spiritual objects like Xiaoqing and others.
This time, the Li family sent a large number of clansmen, more than a dozen combined cultivators, and all those who wanted to enter the secret realm agreed.
However, there are some restrictions for other members of the Lianxu and Huashen clansmen.
And Jiang Fengwu, Daqing and others all wanted to enter the secret realm, because in addition to a large number of seventh-level monsters for them to train, there may also be some rare and precious spiritual objects that may even be extinct in the outside world.
If such a treasure can be found, then there is no need to worry about the resources for cultivation in the future.
When the agreed day came and many cultivators of the Li family set out, Li Zhirui personally came out to see them off.
"I wish you all the best and a safe return!"
Besides sending a sincere blessing, Li Zhirui could do nothing else.
Of course, Li Zhirui had already prepared some quick recovery of mana or life-saving pills for everyone.
Watching several huge cloud ships rise into the sky, Li Zhirui turned back until they disappeared completely.
For the next period of time, the Li family only had him, a Mahayana cultivator, in charge, and the rest were all in the Shenhua and Lianxu stages.
So Li Zhirui specifically asked that during this period of time, the clansmen should be careful, because maybe some cultivators would see the Li family's defense deficit and generate some evil thoughts.
And he himself did not dare to fall into deep cultivation, just worried that if something happened, he would not be able to take action in the first place, which would make the situation worse.
It must be said that Li Zhirui's worries were justified!
Not long after the cultivators left, a fairy city was in turmoil.
Fortunately, the Li family had made preparations in advance, and quickly quelled the chaos with thunder and lightning, beheaded those evil cultivators, and shocked some cultivators who were ready to move.
On the other side, the cloud ship carrying a large number of Li family members soon arrived at the Wanling Market.
Jiang Fengwu and others saw from afar that the area near the market was full of cultivators, and the number was probably no less than 100,000!
"So many casual cultivators want to enter the secret realm? Aren't they afraid of death?"
There were about 40,000 to 50,000 cultivators from various forces present, and the rest were all casual cultivators!
"Casual cultivators fight for their lives to find a way out." Jiang Fengwu said lightly.
She was also a casual cultivator for a period of time. Although it was a long time ago, she still remembers many things clearly. (End of this chapter)
