LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 90 Secrets
Ten days later, Chen Yuan came to the Sutra Pavilion again.
Old Man Geng was still looking through the ancient books boredly. When he saw Chen Yuan walking in, his eyes lit up and he stood up to greet him:
"How has Senior Nephew Chen figured out the secrets contained in the ruined stele?"
Chen Yuan looked unwilling and sighed softly:
"The broken stele was broken in the middle, and the inscription was incomplete. It could only be seen that it was a spiritual medicine garden, and it had no other value. The disciple came here because he wanted to check the ancient classics from the scriptures in the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion, and Let’s see if we can find any clues about the experiences of disciples of our sect in the past generations when they entered Dongxu Mountain.”
A hint of joy flashed in Old Boss Geng's head:
"The most indispensable thing in the Sutra Pavilion is ancient classics, which my nephew can read as much as he wants. In the past, many disciples who entered Dongxu Mountain wrote down their experiences. They are on the bookshelf at No. 38 Xuanzi to Xuanzi Between bookshelf No. 46..."
He detailed everything and told almost every classical book about the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, as well as the books about Dongxu Mountain written by several disciples in their spare time.
After hearing this, Chen Yuan immediately took out fifty spiritual stones and handed them to Old Man Geng.
Old Geng's old face bloomed like a chrysanthemum, he took out a bamboo sign, handed it to Chen Yuan, and said:
"Before the bamboo sign lights up, Senior Nephew Chen can browse the classics, jade slips, and books at will on the first floor of the Sutra Pavilion. If you want to continue, just come here and tell me."
Chen Yuan took the bamboo sign and walked into the Scripture Collection Pavilion. Following Old Man Geng's instructions, he went to the Xuanzi bookshelf, picked up the classics, and quickly flipped through them.
Immortal cultivators have a photographic memory. Chen Yuan could finish reading a thick book in just a quarter of an hour, pick up the next book, and read it again.
Three hours later, he read through all the books that mentioned Dongxu Mountain.
But to his disappointment, there was no valid information.
Finally, Chen Yuan came within three hundred years, mentioned the book on Dongxu Mountain, and looked through it.
From these books, he gained something.
Four hours later, Chen Yuan returned to the entrance of the Sutra Pavilion and handed the bamboo plaque back to Old Man Geng.
Old Man Geng reminded:
"My nephew still has one hour left. If we leave now, the spirit stone will not be withdrawn."
Chen Yuan smiled bitterly and said:
"I have looked through all the classics and books, but none of them have anything to do with the ruined monument. Staying any longer will be a waste of time."
Seeing that Chen Ye had made up his mind, Old Man Geng knew that he could no longer squeeze anything out of him, so he said in disappointment:
"This broken stele is definitely not trivial. When my nephew goes back, he can understand the inscriptions carefully. Maybe he can gain something. Then he can come back to the Scripture Pavilion to check the classics and verify it..."
"Thank you, uncle, for your advice. I will do it next time."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and turned to leave.
After walking out of the Sutra Pavilion, he did not turn back to the cave. Instead, he drove the flying boat towards Xiangguang Peak and landed outside Mo Jingchun's cave.
He took out his identity jade token, triggered the restriction, and sent a message into the cave.
After a while, the stone door of the cave opened. Mo Jingchun went out to greet him and said with a smile:
"Why does Junior Brother Chen have time to come to my house?"
Chen Yuan bowed his hands and saluted:
"The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain will be opened soon. I came here to ask for some experience from my senior brother. I hope that my senior brother will not hesitate to give me some advice."
When Mo Jingchun heard this, he laughed:
"It's a trivial matter. Junior brother, come with me. Sit down and talk slowly."
The two entered the cave and took their seats respectively.
Mo Jingchun asked:
"Junior brother, if you have anything you want to ask, feel free to ask. As long as I know something, I will tell you everything."
Chen Yuan said:
"I heard that the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is vast, with a radius of hundreds of miles. Although it is called a mountain, it is actually a mountain range with many dangerous places. Senior brother, do you have a map of Dongxu Mountain?"
When Mo Jingchun heard this, he took out a jade slip from his storage bag, raised his hand slightly, and the jade slip flew to Chen Yuan and said:
"This is the map of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. This map is not a rare thing. Every time the secret realm is opened, the sect will give one to each disciple. Otherwise, how can we search for the spiritual grass if our eyes are completely dark?"
Chen Yuan took the jade slip, reached into his consciousness, and examined it.
After a while, he put down the jade slip with a rather strange expression:
"The terrain of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is so strange. It's really an eye-opener for me."
Mo Jingchun smiled and said:
"When I first saw this picture, I felt the same way. The secret realm of Dongxu Mountain obviously has nothing to do with Dongxu Mountain, but it is named after this mountain. It is really baffling."
Chen Yuan smiled:
"Perhaps there is something hidden...Senior brother, there are many dangerous places in the secret territory of Dongxu Mountain, and there are monsters everywhere. Is there anything that we should pay special attention to?"
Mo Jingchun thought for a moment and said:
"There are many places to pay attention to in Dongxu Mountain, but there are a few places that you must not approach, otherwise you will die without life..."
He explained several dangerous places in Dongxu Mountain in detail. Chen Yuan looked attentive and listened silently. If he had any doubts, he would ask.
Finally, Mo Jingchun warned:
"Junior brother, please remember that there is a big taboo in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain, that is, you cannot stay in the secret realm when it is closed. In the past, there were people who coveted spiritual herbs and failed to leave the secret realm in time. There were also people who were trapped in the restriction and missed the time. Ten Years later, when the secret realm is opened again, most of these people’s bodies will be gone, and even those who survive will have their cultivation completely destroyed and become useless people.”
Chen Yuan was startled:
"Why?"
Mo Jingchun said:
"You also know that the restriction in the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain is extremely powerful. Every ten years, there will be a seven-day period of weakness. Qi refining monks can enter. Once the seven days are over, the restriction power will be fully restored. Even the Nascent Soul monks will be able to enter. Nothing can be done."
"According to these surviving disciples, after seven days, a spiritual energy storm will set off in the secret realm, which is extremely terrifying. They were lucky and hid in the restrictions in the secret realm and survived, but the violent spiritual energy of heaven and earth Entering the body will also destroy their cultivation and cut off their path."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly:
"So, we must return to the entrance of the secret realm before it is closed. We only have less than four days to search for spiritual herbs?"
Mo Jingchun nodded slightly:
"Exactly. However, there are abundant spiritual herbs in the secret territory of Dongxu Mountain. It is not difficult to find some hundred-year-old spiritual herbs. But those rare three-hundred-year-old and five-hundred-year-old spiritual herbs, especially the three-flavored main medicine for refining the Foundation Establishment Pill , but they are located in some dangerous places, surrounded by monsters and beasts. If you want to gain something, you must take risks. "
"And even if you find the spiritual grass, you still need to return to the entrance of the secret realm before you can leave the secret realm. This gives him the opportunity to send his disciples to set up an ambush and intercept them. Most of the disciples who died in the secret realm were killed by his disciples. The number of people killed by the demonic beast ban is actually smaller.”
Chen Yuan looked solemn, cupped his hands and said:
"Thank you for your advice, senior brother. The trip to the secret realm is so dangerous, so I must be more careful. Senior brother was able to escape unharmed in the secret realm and even got a foundation-building pill. I really admire it."
Mo Jingchun waved his hands and said with a smile:
"I just took advantage of the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. The top disciples of each sect would not enter, and those monks who wanted to intercept and kill me were unable to block my flying sword. Instead, I robbed a lot of spiritual grass. This This time I join forces with my junior brother, even if I meet the top disciples of each sect, I will be able to fight, and we will definitely gain more."
Chen Yuan's eyes flashed and he smiled:
"It's me who has taken advantage of my senior brother. He has a flying sword that is unparalleled in both vertical and horizontal directions. It is very similar to the legendary swordsman. Compared with those top disciples, I should be able to win in battle, right?"
Mo Jingchun laughed:
"Junior brother, I have good eyesight. I did receive a sword cultivation inheritance, but this inheritance is not complete. If I meet those top disciples, it will be difficult to win. But if we fight to the death, I will not win. Small certainty.”
"Senior brother is too modest. Huang Yundao was in a terrible state under the flying sword of senior brother. And he is also one of the best among the Qi Refining disciples of our sect. Even if there is someone stronger than him, how strong can he be?"
Mo Jingchun shook his head:
"The six major sects have hidden dragons and crouching tigers. I don't know how many masters there are. Among the disciples of each sect, Huang Yundao can only be regarded as first-rate. There are many people who are stronger than him. Not to mention many, I am not afraid of Huang Yundao. My junior brother has a talisman." Bao, if you fight him alone, it will be a draw at least."
"But you and I are both casual cultivators. Those talented monks with heavenly spiritual roots, earthly spiritual roots, alien spiritual roots and strange spiritual bodies have pure magic power, treasures close to them, proficient in spells, and under the foundation, they can be called Invincible is the top disciple."
Chen Yuan smiled and said:
"No matter how strong they are, they will not enter the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain to fight. What should they be afraid of?"
Mo Jingchun shook his head slightly:
"This has indeed been the case in the past, but this trip to the secret realm may have some changes."
Chen Yuan was startled:
"Senior brother, what do you mean by this?"
Mo Jingchun looked solemn:
"I got news from Uncle Yi. During this trip to the secret realm, the sect may send these top disciples to search for spiritual herbs."
Chen Yuan's expression changed slightly:
"Before they build the foundation, they have no bottlenecks. As long as they practice with peace of mind, the sect will automatically give them foundation building pills to help them build the foundation. How can you be willing to let them take risks?"
Mo Jingchun shook his head:
"I don't know the inside story, but according to Uncle Yi, this is the idea of some Danjie elders, but other Danjie elders don't agree, so the decision has not yet been made. It will be finalized before the secret realm is opened. ”
Chen Yuan was extremely surprised when he heard this.
He didn't expect that Yi Jin could even find out such information.
And if what Mo Jingchun said was true, and these top disciples would also enter the secret realm, then his plan would have to be revised.
He lowered his head and thought for a moment, then said:
"Senior Brother Mo should have received this news a long time ago, so he wanted to invite me to explore the secret realm of Xushan Cave, right?"
Mo Jingchun said seriously:
"Yes, to be honest, Junior Brother, I have known Master Uncle Yi since he was a casual cultivator, and we have a deep friendship. He started ten years before me and successfully established the foundation. Although he became a deacon disciple, he has a wide network of connections in the sect. , well-informed, learned the news a few years ago.”
"During the Immortal Ascension Conference, he saw that his junior brother was not weak and that Huang Yunshang was carrying a talisman, so he was no match for you. He told me about this, and I became interested in inviting you to explore the secret realm of Cave Mountain with me. . If these top disciples do not enter the secret realm, I am confident that I can collect enough spiritual herbs based on my accumulation over the past ten years. But if the news that Uncle Yi has received is true, then I will not be able to do it alone if I enter the secret realm. , so I strongly invite my junior brother to come with me.”
Chen Yuan finally solved his doubts. Mo Jingchun was very powerful and had once traveled through the secret realm of Dongxu Mountain. As long as he didn't take risks, he should be able to search for enough spiritual herbs.
And if he invites him to accompany him, one more person will have to share the spirit grass, and in the end he may not be able to get enough foundation-building pills.
But if what he said today is true, it would make sense for him to join forces with Chen Yuan in order to fight against those top disciples.
A smile appeared on his face and he said:
"Thank you, senior brother, for being honest. Since I have agreed to senior brother's proposal to join forces, I will naturally not break it. Regardless of whether those top disciples want to enter the secret realm, I will join forces with senior brother to explore the secret realm together."
Mo Jingchun smiled and said:
"I have always been upright and I never lie to my friends. Moreover, it will be good for our junior brother if you and I join forces. This is a matter of mutual benefit. Why not do it?"
Chen Yuan sighed:
"If everyone were like Senior Brother, the world of immortality would certainly become much more peaceful."
Mo Jingchun laughed:
"Junior brother, I am over-praised. The way of sword cultivation is to be learned from the straight rather than from the curve. Although the sword cultivation inheritance I received is incomplete, I still have a heart for sword cultivation, which is why I have achieved today's cultivation."
Chen Yuan cupped his hands and said:
"Senior brother has a firm heart, and I admire him."
Mo Jingchun said:
"Speaking of which, there is one more thing that I have to explain to my junior brother."
"Senior brother, please tell me."
"I promised to deal with Huang Yundao with you that day, not only for Huang Yundao's talisman, but also to let my junior brother join my lineage of casual cultivators."
Chen Yuan was startled:
"A lineage of casual cultivators?"
Mo Jingchun explained:
"We, the monks who came from casual cultivators and entered the sect through the Immortal Ascension Conference, were suppressed by the monks who entered the sect from a young age and claimed to be the orthodox monks of the sect. We could only huddle together for warmth, so we are called the casual cultivator lineage. Uncle Yi and I are also here Within it.”
"When my junior brother came to invite me to help him in boxing, I originally wanted to ask Master Yi to protect him, so Huang Yundao naturally didn't dare to attack him. But Master Yi saw that my junior brother's alchemy skills were extraordinary, and he might become a master of alchemy in the future, and he was unified by Zheng Therefore, I came up with this strategy and asked me to join forces with my junior brother to kill Huang Yundao. If I can get a talisman, my junior brother will completely offend the Huang family, so he can only join my casual cultivator lineage. "
"I participated in this matter and deceived my junior brother. Please forgive me."
With that said, he stood up and bowed deeply to Chen Yuan with an extremely sincere expression.
After Chen Yuan heard Mo Jingchun explain all this, his mind changed and he understood the reason.
It's nothing more than a trick where vested interest groups control the sect and don't want to give away the benefits, while emerging forces rise up to resist.
He returned the salute to Mo Jingchun and said with a smile:
"Senior brother, there is no need to be like this. Senior Uncle Yi has no obligation to provide me with shelter. Senior brother can help me kill Huang Yundao. It is already a huge favor. How can I blame you. But there is something I don't know. I am a casual cultivator and am an alchemist. How can I become a master of alchemy if you won’t give me the hundred-year-old herb?”
After driving for a long time, I just finished one chapter and will resume normal updates tomorrow.
