Chapter 44: What a big worm
In order for a sect to develop and cultivate disciples, it needs all kinds of resources. Those resources, if only by buying from others, will undoubtedly pay a much higher price than they get, and not everyone can afford it. And there is another question, whether people are willing to sell it, such as the Tsukidan that Yuqing Sect lacks, people will take this card to your neck, what can you do.
It's not impossible to explore the world by yourself, to mine, pick or whatever, in short, to find resources by yourself. However, this is not a way to obtain resources steadily, and it can only be said that as a supplement, it is almost impossible to maintain a sect.
And having a secret realm cannot be said to solve all resource problems, but it is undoubtedly the foundation for the healthy development of a sect. Like those top-level big sects, there is more than one secret realm, some specialize in medicine gardens, some specialize in raising spirit beasts, some specialize in allowing people to cultivate, and some can even change the flow of time.
It's great to change the speed of time, a year of cultivation in the inside, maybe only a month has passed outside. Imagine that two people have the same qualifications and talents, but one person has been cultivating in the secret realm for ten years, and the person outside has only been cultivating for ten months, and the strength of the two has suddenly become a world apart.
Of course, this secret realm explored by the five sects does not have such perverted power, if you divide all known secret realms into a level, I am afraid that this secret realm is not the lowest level or about the same.
Of course, there are also operational issues. This secret realm is large enough, and the aura is quite abundant, but no one has operated it for many years. There is no plan for the cultivation of spirit grass, and the demon beasts are also left to fend for themselves, and fortunately, the five sects can't come to explore often, otherwise I'm afraid it would have become a barren land long ago.
"If only you could hold this secret realm in your hands......" Ye Zan muttered, but shook his head again. After discovering this secret realm at the beginning, several first-class sects came to explore, but they couldn't find a way to collect the secret realm, and a small qi refining realm by themselves is possible?
In fact, even if you know the method of collection, only the Qi Refining Realm can enter, and the Qi Refining Realm has no mana, so it is naturally impossible to collect the Secret Realm. Speaking of which, this is like an endless cycle, the foundation building realm has mana, but the foundation building realm can't enter, the qi refining realm can come in, but the qi refining realm has no mana.
Ye Zan doesn't want to do this for the time being, anyway, he has a different dimensional space, and he can put back as much as he gains from this exploration of the secret realm, so let's take exploration as the main goal first.
Soon, according to the indication of the map, Ye Zan came to another location. There are three spirit grasses here, and there is a golden-scaled python guarding it, but this is all prey for Ye Zan.
In this world, there is a universal law in nature, that is, wherever there are natural and earthly treasures, there must be powerful demon beasts nearby. In fact, it is easy to understand, although the demon beast does not have the same intelligence, but it also knows what is good for itself, and once it is found, it will naturally stay nearby and wait for the treasure of heaven and earth to mature. This is like an ordinary beast, after being poisoned, it knows what grass to eat to detoxify, which seems to be an instinct that penetrates the bloodline.
Therefore, if you want to get those natural treasures, it is often not possible to pay some price. Even in this secret realm, the disciples of the Five Sects had to pay the price of blood when they harvested something in their previous explorations.
The golden-scaled python was about 100 meters long, and its big head looked like a small house, coiled there like a golden mountain. The previous iron-backed green cow was already huge, but if it was placed in front of this golden-scaled python, it would probably be a matter of one bite.
What is particularly peculiar is that on the top of the golden-scaled python's head, there are also two round protrusions, as if something is about to be pushed out. Ye Zan is not new to this world, with a lot of information he has read, he knows that this is a sign of the giant python turning into a dragon, in other words, the golden scale python is about to turn into a golden scale dragon.
If it were someone else and saw this behemoth, the first thought was to go around. This secret realm can be explored by Qi Refining Realm cultivators, but it doesn't mean that there is no existence that can threaten Qi Refining Realm cultivators. Just this golden-scaled python, even if those disciples of the five sects work together, I am afraid that they will end up in a group annihilation.
Seeing this situation, Ye Zan hesitated a little, not because he was afraid that he would not be able to defeat this golden-scaled python, but because he was a little reluctant. You must know that the python turns into a dragon, not only to see its cultivation, but also to have the bloodline of the dragon clan, and some demon pythons and demon snakes are cultivated into big demons, and it is difficult to become a dragon without the bloodline of the dragon clan.
And this golden-scaled python, although its cultivation is not very amazing, it obviously has dragon blood in its body. A golden-scaled python that is about to turn into a dragon, which not only means that it may become a dragon, but also has a glimmer of hope that it will eventually become a dragon. Of course, if you want to become a dragon, there are various factors involved, and even a huge chance is possible.
But in any case, this golden-scaled python is also a very rare species, and it would be a pity to simply cut the flesh for Dan.
With a rustling sound, several mechanical spiders ran out of the jungle and soon ran to the top of the golden mountain made of golden-scaled pythons. This time the contrast is even more obvious, although this mechanical spider is not big, but each one is half a meter tall, but in front of this golden mountain is like a few ants.
A mechanical spider raised a scythe foot high, and then with a phanthropic shadow, stabbed heavily into the body of the giant python. I heard a soft "bang", and the scythe foot stabbed on a golden scale, but only left a white spot on it, but the mechanical spider was shocked and retreated.
You must know that the scythe legs of this mechanical spider, although they are not made of super alloy, are also extremely sharp. Killing the two iron-backed green cows before was like sticking tofu, but in the face of the scales of the giant python, it was like a toothpick sticking an iron plate.
Fortunately, the giant python was huge, and its senses didn't seem to be very sensitive, and it was not disturbed by the temptation of the mechanical spider, and it was still hovering there and sleeping. With the size of this giant python, I am afraid that it can also be called a hegemon in this secret realm, and coupled with that amazing defense, I am really not afraid that anyone can threaten it while it is sleeping.
At this time, Ye Zan also reached the edge of the jungle, and through the dense branches and leaves, he could already see the shining golden mountain. After seeing the results of the mechanical spider's temptation, Ye Zan wanted to take this giant python as a pet more and more.
There is a beast control sect in this world, which specializes in domesticating demon beasts and spirit beasts, this domestication and breeding are not the same, they can control demon beasts and spirit beasts to fight for themselves. With this unique skill, although the Beast Control Sect is not a top-level sect, it is also among the best among first-class sects in terms of strength.
Of course, Ye Zan doesn't have a way to control beasts here, but with technology, it may not be impossible to achieve similar results. He took out a small box the size of a palm and placed it on the body of a mechanical spider in front of him.
The mechanical spider, carrying the small box on its back, rushed out of the jungle, quickly ran under the python, and then began to exert its powerful climbing ability, crawling towards the python's head.
The golden-scaled python was unaware of what was about to happen, and its head was tilted against its body like a small house. And the mechanical spider, after some climbing, finally came to the head of the golden-scaled python. In fact, with the size of a mechanical spider, it can directly get into the nostrils of the python, but in order to avoid alarming the python, it still stopped outside.
