Chapter 67: The Secret Realm of the Stone Gate
"Uncle Dongmen, it's really a good idea for us to recuperate quietly here. I just don't know what level the defensive formation here is, can it withstand the attack of the Five Elements Sect?"
"There was originally a natural phantom array here, and on the basis of this phantom array, I arranged a large earth spirit array, and the defense can reach level seven, and it is difficult for the gods to break through the cultivators. The uncle of the East Gate said indifferently.
"Uncle Dongmen, we have abandoned the disciples of the Qi Refining Period this time, and in the future, the development of the sect will only become a source of water, how can this problem be solved?" Ma Kunjiu asked cautiously. A disciple in the Qi refining period is always the foundation of a sect. If a sect does not have disciples in the Qi refining period, then with the continuous fall of the foundation building and Jindan monks, the strength of a sect will become weaker and weaker.
For the foundation building monks, the lifespan is generally only two hundred years, and if they can break through the golden pill, it will be doubled. If you can't break through, you will run out of life and die. The same is true for Jindan monks, if they can't break through the Yuan Infant, they will fall when they are about four hundred years old, and if they break through the Yuan Baby, they will have a lifespan of about eight hundred years.
Breaking through to Jindan during the foundation building period and breaking through to Yuanying during the Jindan period are both extremely dangerous levels, and it is easy to fall because of the failure of the breakthrough. Therefore, these thousands of foundation building period disciples seem to be a lot, but if there are no new foundation building period disciples to replenish at any time, it will not take many years, and these foundation building period disciples will be greatly reduced, and the strength of the sect will also be greatly reduced.
Once a large sect begins to decline, it will be a matter of time before it is annexed.
"Well, this will indeed affect the long-term development of the sect. After a slight hesitation, Uncle Dongmen said, "This time is also a helpless move, the most important thing at present is to improve the strength of the disciples under the sect." I think the stone gate trial can be opened in advance. ”
"Follow my uncle's orders. Ma Kunjiu bowed and answered. It's just that before he finished speaking, the chair in front of him was empty. He knew Uncle Dongmen's temper, but he didn't care about it at all. He just turned around and faced the people in the main hall.
"The head of this sect solemnly announced that the stone gate trial will open in three days. The number of people in this trial is still limited to fifty, and each elder can recommend five people. The disciples who were recommended for the trial gathered here three days later. ”
"In addition, the main hall where we are now is located is where an ancient great sect is located, and the cave mansion inside is enough for each disciple to live, and the specific distribution of the cave mansion is arranged by the elders. After finishing speaking, Ma Kunjiu also left the main hall in a flash.
Jin Yu couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief, he felt very bad from the first time he saw Ma Kunjiu. Jin Yu secretly felt that this person would bring great danger to himself. So Jin Yu wants to leave very much now, but he has to carefully hide his thoughts. Leaving at this time is definitely the rhythm of looking for death. This big array won't let anyone out.
It's just that why do I have such a strong feeling? Thinking about it carefully, this Ma Kunjiu seems to be a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere. Jin Yu slowly searched for the memories in his mind, and gradually, a figure appeared in his mind - Ma Boyan!
Jin Yu suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, this Ma Kunjiu and Ma Boyan must have something to do with each other, the two of them look a little similar, and they both have the surname Ma! If Ma Kunjiu knows that he killed Ma Boyan and took his harpoon, then he will be finished. Never expose the harpoon!
What made Jin Yu uneasy was that he had exposed the harpoon in front of the Lord of Yunxi, although this Yunxi Country was a subject country of the Earth Spirit Sect, but fortunately, the Lord of Yunxi was not here today. This made Jin Yu breathe a sigh of relief. He secretly calculated that he must leave the Earth Spirit Sect before it was exposed!
"You two come with me. When Jin Yu was distracted, Jiao Fengyu's voice sounded in his ears, Jin Yu looked sideways, Jiao Fengyu nodded towards Jin Yu and Zhen Jiehe, and then turned around and left with the three foundation building peak disciples. Jin Yu and Zhen Jiehe glanced at each other and immediately followed.
Jin Yu and the others followed Jiao Fengyu out of the main hall, both of them were very curious about this place, and they looked at it while walking along the way, that Ma Kunjiu was really not exaggerating, the cave here was enough for all the disciples to live, and there was still more than half of it left.
Jiao Fengyu led the five people to a row of caves, and then took out two jade plates and handed them to Jin Yu and Zhen Jiehe, Jin Yu took a jade plate and looked at it, there was only one number on it and no other words, Jin Yu immediately understood that this was a forbidden card for entering and leaving his own cave, and people without jade plates could not enter and leave their own caves. The number of his jade plate is eighty-seven.
Jin Yu knew that the three people next to him were the core disciples of the Earth Spirit Sect Xue hidden, and they arrived here earlier than Jin Yu and his party, and it was estimated that they had already obtained their own cave mansion jade plates.
"The five of you are my most optimistic disciples of the three generations. This time, I would recommend the five of you to participate in the Shimen Trial. If any of you don't want to, you can sue me now. Jiao Fengyu waited for a few breaths, and saw that no one said quit, although he expected it, he was still very satisfied.
"May I ask the elder, what is going on with this stone gate trial?" Zhen Jiehe immediately asked the question that Jin Yu wanted to ask, but the three core disciples next to him showed disdain.
"Shimen is the Shimen Desert where we are now. There is a secret realm in this desert, which is a place of trial left by ancient monks, and there are restrictions on cultivation in the secret realm, and only monks below the foundation building period can enter. In this secret realm, it can be said that there are countless opportunities, especially the various spiritual grasses that increase cultivation. After the Earth Spirit Sect discovered this secret realm, it has been using this place as a place for its disciples to test, and it is opened every five years, allowing its disciples to enter to find opportunities. ”
"Although Jin Ge and Zhen Jiehe have just joined the inner gate, their strength is by no means worse than that of your three core disciples. The competition for the land of trials is inevitable, and the five of you can only keep your results if you work together. So-" Jiao Fengyu paused, looked at the three core disciples, and then continued: "Mu Hongyan, Rui Pengxi, Jiao Zirui, in this trial, the three of you will have to take a qiē action led by Jin Ge. ”
"Obey the Master's instructions. Mu Hongyan and Rui Pengxi bowed and replied. Although the two were also puzzled, they didn't dare to show their different colors.
"Ah, Ancestor, this Jin Ge junior disciple is only a sixth-level cultivator, why do you let the three of us listen to him?" The one who raised the objection was a pockmarked young man with a pothole-ridden face, and with an incredible tone, it was Jiao Zirui.
"If you're not satisfied, don't go!" Jiao Fengyu didn't have any explanation, just sank his face. Jiao Zirui's heart suddenly burst out, and he didn't dare to speak anymore.
Jin Yu had some doubts in his heart, if he could increase his cultivation by entering this place of trial, how could such a good thing fall on the two inner disciples they had just recruited, not to mention that Jiao Fengyu's attitude was still so kind. There must be a reason for this.
"I don't know what Elder Jiao asks of us?" Jin Yu asked cautiously.
Jiao Fengyu was very satisfied with Jin Yu's cleverness, he smiled and said, "All the spirit grass or heavenly treasures you get in the secret realm, you can keep them for yourself, or sell them to the sect, and the sect will give you a certain amount of contribution points." But if you can pick the 'green dragon fruit', you must give it to me, and I will give you enough benefits." ”
Jin Yu couldn't help but gasp when he heard the green dragon fruit, there is still this level of spiritual fruit in this secret realm? Jin Yu clearly remembered that this kind of fruit was recorded in the "Heaven and Earth Strange Things", if it was taken by a cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, it could immediately advance to the late Yuan Infant stage! This green dragon fruit was much more precious than the pine smoke fruit that was eaten by the Xiaoice bee!
Jiao Fengyu was worried that Jin Yu and Zhen Jiehe would not be able to recognize the green dragon fruit, so he immediately took out two jade slips, which were depicted with the graphics of the green dragon fruit, and gave each of them a copy. Both of them honestly put it away.
Jin Yu secretly thought that if he got the green dragon fruit, it would definitely be reserved for the promotion of the Xiaoice bee, and it was estimated that after the Xiaoice bee ate the green dragon fruit to advance, the divine consciousness attack sent out could seriously injure the late Yuan Baby. It's just that it will fall asleep after eating, and it's not sleeping for a day or two, you have to choose the time to take it, otherwise your killer weapon will fall asleep at the critical moment, and how wrongfully you should have died.
In the next three days, Jin Yu honestly hid in the cave to cultivate, hoping that he would not be discovered by Ma Kunjiu in these three days.
......
Above the main hall.
The fifty disciples who participated in the trial stood solemnly on the main hall, and Jin Yu and Zhen Jiehe stood together. There is a sense of closeness between the two, not only because the two of them are recruited, Jin Yu intuitively feels that this Zhen Jiehe is indeed a trustworthy person.
And Mu Hongyan, Rui Pengxi and Jiao Zirui stood on the other side, especially Jiao Zirui did not hide his contempt for Jin Yu, and the three of them did not mean to take Jin Yu as the leader.
Jin Yu didn't even have an interest in glancing at Jiao Zirui, his attention was always on the three Yuanying monks standing in the center of the main hall, in the center was Ma Kunjiu, who was at the peak of Yuanying, and on both sides were two Yuanying Late Elders, which were the only two Yuanying Late Elders in the Earth Spirit Sect.
Seeing that the people had arrived, Ma Kunjiu's stern gaze swept over the fifty elites of the Earth Spirit Sect and nodded with satisfaction.
Jin Yu felt that his heart suddenly burst again, and a strong sense of crisis pressed on his heart, Jin Yu made up his mind that he could not come out lightly when he entered the secret realm this time, even if he stayed in the secret realm for another five years, he had to have enough strength to fight Ma Kunjiu and come out again.
