Pagoda Immortality

Jianpi glanced back outside the courtyard: "He didn't come, but I just found him standing at the fork in the road outside and peeking, and you may not know, this is not the first time he has peeked at you, I suspect..."

"Suspect what?" Lu Li said in astonishment.

"I suspect he has some bad intentions towards you, just like he always hits me on the head with a stick from behind, not like a good person." Jianpi grinned.

"You are not ashamed to say that."

Lu Li curled his lips speechlessly: "Last time when I came out, Senior Shu said that you were not clean-mouthed and asked me to discipline you more, so as not to offend others and be stabbed to death by others. You are so good, now you are the first to complain..."

"Uh... This old man actually said bad things about people behind their backs, I think he should be the one stabbed to death." Jianpi said angrily.

"You're still talking! I've told you long ago that Zhao Ji is not a good guy, and I told you not to learn from him. He usually stays in the medicine garden and doesn't come out, so it doesn't matter if he talks too much. But you are different. It's okay that you are ugly and attract attention, but if you learn to talk too much like him, you will be beaten to death sooner or later." Lu Li said earnestly.

"Hehe, the boss is right, it's all Zhao Ji's fault! Take me back to the medicine garden, I'll go beat that guy up!" Jianpi smiled.

"I surrender to you!"

Lu Li rolled his eyes at Jianpi, "Okay, I guess you are bored too, so just go back to the medicine garden."

After that, he activated the demon soul contract and took Jianpi into the medicine garden.

When he came to the yard, Lu Li stretched hard, and instantly felt much more comfortable. He tilted his head to look at Shu Heng's yard, and thought for a while with his eyes slightly lowered, and then walked out of the yard.

In the main hall.

Shu Heng was holding a piece of dead wood and was lost in thought. Suddenly, his ears moved and he looked outside.

Lu Li walked in quickly, clasped his fists and saluted respectfully, saying, "Hello, senior."

Shu Heng slowly put down the dead wood, looked Lu Li up and down, and asked in disbelief, "How did you cultivate? You actually broke through to the late stage in one go?"

According to his understanding, 60,000 Yin Shen Pills would allow Lu Li to cultivate to the middle stage for 50% or 60% in more than a hundred years, which was very impressive. Unexpectedly, Lu Li actually broke through to the late stage in one go.

Lu Li smiled lightly and sat at the table by himself. "Before, a good friend gave me a drop of mysterious treasure medicine, saying that it was only useful for the middle stage. After taking it, I barely broke through to the late stage."

"Oh? You actually got such a treasure medicine, you are really lucky." Shu Heng looked strange, half-believing and half-doubting.

"Indeed, by the way, senior, the secret realm you mentioned last time, hasn't appeared in the world yet?" Lu Li changed the subject.

"It has appeared, but it's not time to go in yet. I was just about to find a time to call you out, but I didn't expect you to come out on your own."

"Appeared?"

"Yes, it happened not long ago. We have sent people to monitor it. According to past practice, it will probably take two or three months to enter. But since you are here, I will take this opportunity to talk to you about the secret realm..."

Hearing this, Lu Li immediately showed an expression of listening attentively.

Seeing this, Shu Heng continued: "Let's talk about the secret realm first. We in Yaowang Valley call it the Wood Spirit Secret Realm. It appears once every five hundred years, and each time it stays for about ten years. In other words, you must come out of it within ten years, otherwise, you can only wait five hundred years later..."

"The Wood Spirit Secret Realm."

Lu Li frowned, and suddenly felt that these words were familiar, and then he was secretly shocked, thinking: It can't be such a coincidence, is it really...

"What's wrong?" Seeing Lu Li's changing expression, Shu Heng asked suspiciously.

"Uh, nothing."

Lu Li came back to his senses and said quickly: "Senior, you just said that you must come out within ten years. I want to ask, is there any transmission channel in there, or..."

"It's like this, our Medicine King Valley has built a reception array in Taiyou Forest. Before you go in, Medicine King Valley will issue each of you a reception order.

In the seventh year of your entry into the secret realm, we will activate the array. If you want to come back, you only need to inject your true essence into the reception order, and you can return directly to Taiyou Forest.

So, the reception order is very important. You must keep it well, otherwise, you may never come back..."

"I see."

Lu Li showed a look of realization on his face, and asked again: "Then, what exactly is the thing that Medicine King Valley wants us to find?"

Shu Heng said: "Last time I I told you that refining the Five Elements Pill requires five kinds of precious medicines: Gengjin Chenye, Zumu Zhibo, Shuiling Qinglei, Lanyan Xuanjiang, and Xuanhuang Tujing.

Now, except Zumu Zhibo, the other four kinds of medicines are cultivated in Yaowang Valley, but the growth conditions of Zumu Zhibo are quite strict, and Yaowang Valley cannot cultivate it, so you should understand it..."

Lu Li nodded: "I understand, what Yaowang Valley wants is Zumu Zhibo, right? I just don't know what kind of reward Yaowang Valley will give this time?"

Shu Heng smiled and said: "Don't worry about the reward. After discussion and decision by our Elders Hall, all participants will be given one hundred low-grade Yin Shen Pills before entering the secret realm."

"As for after coming out, it will be recycled at the ratio of one drop of Zumu Zhibo to five hundred low-grade Yin Shen Pills."

Send a hundred Yin Shen Pills first?

Lu Li secretly told Yaowang Valley that this was such a big deal, it was equivalent to a million high-grade spiritual stones, and he actually gave it away as soon as he said it would.

Moreover, in Lu Li's opinion, the recycling price is quite good. One drop of Ancestral Wood's Amber can be exchanged for 500 low-grade Yin Shen Dan, which is equivalent to five million high-grade spiritual stones for one drop of Ancestral Wood's Amber.

At such a price, if anyone exposes a drop of Ancestral Wood Amber in the secret realm, it will probably lead to a bloody disaster immediately.

The people near the water tower get the moon first. After Shu Heng finished speaking, he took out another map and handed it to Lu Li and said: "This is the map of the Wood Spirit Secret Realm. Everyone who enters will have a copy. You can keep it first. Although it is very crude, it is better than No one is stronger.”

Lu Li took it and took a look and found that there were several places circled in red on the map. He couldn't help but asked: "Are these red circled places where the ancestors are?"

"Yes, these places have been explored by people from previous generations. There must be ancestral trees. At least there were ancestral trees in that generation five hundred years ago."

"What is this black circle?"

Lu Li asked, pointing to a place in the north of the map called Blue Moon Lake that was surrounded by a black circle.

Shu Heng chuckled and said: "This is where I want you to go. According to the news I got, there is a monster called Mingyue Clam at the bottom of Blue Moon Lake.

This beast can produce a precious medicine called the Moon Flower Pearl, and this time, I want you to go to Blue Moon Lake to help me get a Moon Flower Pearl back..."
