Chapter 138: Mystic Realm Opportunity
“The core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree…”
Xu Ning did not immediately agree to Xie Wenyue’s proposal, instead he began to think.
After a long time, Xu Ning finally chose to refuse.
“Sister Xie, I don’t want the core.”
Xu Ning pondered over this decision.
Although the core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree was precious, as it could help a void realm martial artist break through to the common seal realm, for Xu Ning, his Martial Arts Panel was already enough.
The Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree should be a resource with more practical value than internal energy value, so this kind of resource was useless for Xu Ning.
Moreover, according to what Xie Wenyue said, she and Bao Ruyuan discovered this fruit tree at the same time.
This meant that Bao Ruyuan knew of the time when the core would be born.
If he wanted to go with her to obtain the core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree, he would inevitably encounter Bao Ruyuan.
With Bao Ruyuan’s style, they would evidently get into a conflict.
Xu Ning felt that this conflict was not worth it.
Moreover, Mi Xingye and Elder Gujian had a long-standing rivalry. Being the disciples of both sides, his and Bao Ruyuan’s identities were just too sensitive.
Whether he won or lost against Bao Ruyuan in the end, it might trouble Mi Xingye.
“Sister Xie, I appreciate your kindness.”
Xu Ning explained: “However, I don’t want to get into a more intense conflict with Bao Ruyuan. After all, between my master and Elder Gujian…”
Xu Ning stopped talking right there.
As a core disciple, Xie Wenyue would definitely understand his intentions.
“Um…”
When Xie Wenyue heard this, she showed a look of pity.
She was grateful to Xu Ning, so she wanted to thank Xu Ning with the core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree.
But Xu Ning had already expressed the conflict between Sect Master Mi Xingye and Elder Gujian, so there was no need for her to insist.
If she continued to persuade Xu Ning again, it might cause a misunderstanding instead.
“It’s fine.”
Xie Wenyue didn’t say anything else, she just took out a silk brocade bag.
“I really didn’t carefully consider my proposal just now. In this case, I will give these six Blazing Crystal Fruits to you. Swallowing them will help to condense and improve your attributes.”
Xu Ning thought for a moment, then reached out and grabbed it.
Since Xie Wenyue came to thank him, she must not want to owe him a favor.
So Xu Ning accepted her gift.
“Thank you, Senior Sister Xie.”
Xu Ning took the silk brocade bag.
“I should be the one thanking you.”
Xie Wenyue smiled. “In that case, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Although Xu Ning refused to accept Wenyue’s invitation, Xie Wenyue still wanted the core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree.
After all, it was a rare and precious resource. Since Xu Ning didn’t want it, she had to find a way to get it.
However, with her injuries, she was definitely not Bao Ruyuan’s opponent, so Xie Wenyue was going to find other helpers to fight with Bao Ruyuan for the core.
“Take care, Senior Sister.”
Since Xie Wenyue was deciding to leave, Xu Ning personally escorted her out of the courtyard.
After returning back to the courtyard, Xu Ning opened the silk brocade bag and poured out the contents.
‘So these are the crystal fruits.’
Xu Ning held the six crystal clear fruits in his palm. With such a scene, he looked very handsome.
A notification came from the Martial Arts Panel.
…
Discovered energy 200 units, absorb?
Yes / No
…
‘200 units of energy is too little…’
Although he knew that the Blazing Crystal Fruits were a practical resource, he didn’t expect it to contain so little energy.
The six fruits added together could only provide a total of 1,200 units of energy.
This amount of energy was not enough for him to advance a secret technique to the fifth level.
“No.”
Xu Ning did not absorb it.
He planned to go to the Materials Hall in the core disciple sect and check the exchange price inside.
If these fruits were as Xie Wenyue described, it could help one’s attributes to condense, then the energy obtained from exchanging it for Pure Source Pills would definitely be greater than 200 units.
“Let’s go and take a look.”
Xu Ning didn’t hesitate and left with the six fruits.
…
At the same time.
Fog Night Abyss.
“No choice, I really can’t enter it.”
Mi Xingye and Elder Yuancheng emerged from a pool below the abyss valley.
Water flowed down their bodies, but not even a corner of their clothes was wet.
‘The owner of this secret realm is too strong.’
After climbing up, Mi Xingye and Elder Yuancheng looked at the calm water surface with a depressed expression.
‘They failed again…’
Xiao Qiyun stood behind Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng, thinking to himself.
After Xiao Qiyun told Mi Xingye and Yuancheng about the mystic realm, the three of them rode a high level void realm raptor and rushed to the Fog Night Abyss.
Xiao Qiyun led the two to an inconspicuous pond under the abyss valley and told them that this was the entrance to the mystic realm.
Without further hesitation, Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng went into the pond at the same time.
Although this pond looked normal, it was bottomless. Moreover, there were no creatures inside.
After diving for nearly 300 meters, Mi Xingye and Yuan City came upon a barrier.
The two were overjoyed because what Xiao Qiyun said was true.
However, when the two tried to cross the barrier, they couldn’t do it.
The two of them were unable to break through the barrier.
Every time they tried to break through, the dao marks in their bodies would be extremely suppressed, causing them not be able to withstand the pressure from the barrier.
It seemed that this mystic realm rejected top void realm ninth stage martial artists who had already condensed dao marks.
In order to verify this guess, Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng brought Xiao Qiyun with them again.
Sure enough, Xiao Qiyun did not feel any resistance when facing the barrier. He could easily extend his arms and legs and take them out.
If Xiao Qiyun was willing, he could still easily enter the mystic realm again.
But after entering, he would have to experience more dangers before he could come out again.
The facts proved Mi Xingye and Yuan Cheng’s guess that a void realm martial artist with dao marks could not enter the secret realm to be true.
However, the two did not give up immediately. They tried again, but after nearly ten days, they still had no results.
“Sect Master, there should be no other way to enter.”
Elder Yuancheng’s tone was a little regretful.
Mi Xingye nodded. “In this case, there is no other way. Let’s return to the sect.”
“Although we can’t enter this mystic realm, some of the elders and core disciples have not condensed dao marks yet, so they should have no problem entering the mystic realm.”
Mi Xingye had already made a plan. “Core disciples are the pillars of the Yuelan Sect. Letting them enter and obtain resources to improve is also a good thing.”
“Okay, in this case, quickly return to the sect and gather the core disciples.”
Yuan Cheng agreed with Mi Xingye’s proposal.
Afterwards, the three of them rushed back to the Yuelan Sect.
…
Yuelan Sect.
Xu Ning was in a good mood, because Xu Ning had exchanged the Blazing Crystal Fruits in the Materials Hall of the core disciples.
One Blazing Crystal Fruit was worth ten Pure Source Pills in the Materials Hall.
Six Blazing Crystal Fruits allowed Xu Ning to exchange for 60 Pure Source Pills.
This was 6,000 units of energy.
This amount of energy was enough for Xu Ning to break through to the void realm fifth stage, or advance his four void realm secret techniques to the fifth stage.
Xu Ning felt that it was worth it to receive so much energy from such a small injury.
‘Maybe I should have agreed to Xie Wenyue’s request to seize the core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree. Although it may not have much energy, it will definitely be worth more than 100 Pure Source Pills.’
Xu Ning had the intention to negotiate with Xie Wenyue.
On the way out of the Materials Hall, Xu Ning began to think again whether the core of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree was worth becoming enemies with Bao Ruyuan.
Although his feud with the Bao family would have to be resolved sooner or later, it was still too early to confront them head-on.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
While Xu Ning was thinking, thunderous drum sounds spread throughout the entire core disciple sect.
“This is the signal to gather the core disciples in the Elders Hall!”
Xu Ning said.
When the signal for the core disciples to gather sounded, all disciples in the sect, whether they were core disciples or in-name disciples, had to arrive at the Elders Hall within 15 minutes.
‘What happened…’
Although Xu Ning was confused, he still rushed to the Elders Hall.
Xu Ning arrived at the location in less than 15 minutes.
Xu Ning saw that his master Mi Xingye and more than a dozen elders were all present.
There were already many core disciples below the stage. There were about 50 to 60 people in total.
These people made up half of the Yuelan Sect core disciples.
The disciples had already sat down below the stage, as if they were listening to a lecture.
Xu Ning also sat cross-legged too.
As the 15-minute mark ended, the number of disciples in the hall had reached more than 80.
“The disciples in the sect should have all arrived.”
Elder Yuancheng stood up and looked at the disciples below the stage.
“Disciples below the fourth stage void realm, leave.”
Elder Yuancheng suddenly said.
The disciples below the stage were confused, but they all complied with Elder Yuancheng’s instructions.
There were now less than 20 people left.
Xu Ning glanced around and saw a few acquaintances among the remaining people, Zhuo Zongyi, Xie Wenyue, and Bao Ruyuan were among them.
“Huh?”
After Xu Ning looked at the people around him, he looked up again and coincidentally met Mi Xingye’s eyes.
Mi Xingye looked at Xu Ning with a satisfied smile.
Xu Ning instantly realized that Mi Xingye should be satisfied with his progress and strength.
Whoosh!
After the disciples below the qualitative change realm left, a light curtain suddenly appeared around the open space where everyone was, enveloping everyone.
Xu Ning noticed that the light curtain was isolating them from the public.
Obviously, the elders on the stage had to talk about a secret matter.
“Disciples, I gathered you today to give you an opportunity!”
Elder Yuancheng went straight to the point.
The disciples below the stage were all surprised.
“Sect Master and I recently found a mystic realm, and that secret realm was left behind by a legendary martial arts master in State Jifeng. Moreover, it has yet to be explored fully.”
“After discussing with the elders, we have decided to send core disciples and in-name core disciples with strength in the qualitative change realm and above into the secret realm. You may go to the secret realm and find your opportunities.”
Originally, Mi Xingye also wanted to let some elders who had not condensed dao marks to enter, but after thinking about it, Mi Xingye changed his mind.
These elders who had yet to condense dao marks were already old and had no more further potential to exhaust. Letting them enter the mystic realm would end up just them fighting over resources with the disciples.
It was better to leave all the opportunities in the mystic realm to the younger generation elites.
“A mystic realm!”
“It was left behind by a legendary martial arts master?”
‘What a great opportunity!’
“…”
The dozen or so disciples whispered with excited expressions.
“Everyone here will be the first batch of disciples to enter the mystic realm. For you, this is both an opportunity and a challenge. Although as the first batch of explorers, you may encounter more opportunities, but because there are many unknowns in the mystic realm, it is also very dangerous for you to enter.”
Seeing that the disciples were eager to try, Elder Yuancheng splashed a bucket of cold water all over everyone to wake them up.
“After entering the mystic realm, there is a high chance that you will lose your lives. I hope you will consider this carefully. If you feel that you are not confident, you can choose to withdraw now.”
No one responded.
Even Xie Wenyue, who was injured, did not retreat.
Faced with the mystic realm left behind by a legendary martial arts master, Xie Wenyue had even forgotten about the existence of the Blazing Crystal Fruit Tree.
“Good.”
Seeing this, Elder Yuancheng nodded in satisfaction.
Elder Yuancheng knew very well that as long as they entered the mystic realm, some of these disciples would definitely die.
But those who survived would definitely gain a lot. The benefits these disciples would bring to the Yuelan Sect in the future would definitely be greater than the losses of some disciples.
“In this case, let’s go.”
Elder Yuancheng said.
“Wait!”
An elder in a dark green robe suddenly stood up.
His body was skinny and his face was pale, but his eyes were sharp.
“Elder Gujian, what do you think?”
Elder Yuancheng’s eyes twitched.
“Elder Gujian…”
When Xu Ning heard this, he also looked at Elder Gujian.
He was Mi Xingye’s old rival.
“It’s too early to leave.”
Elder Gu Juan said, “My disciple Fang Jie is strong and has outstanding aptitude. If he was in the first batch to enter the mystic realm, he would definitely gain a lot. He is currently out of the sect, and will only return in half a month, so why don’t we enter the mystic realm in half a month.”
All the elders frowned.
This request was quite selfish.
A mystic realm was a precious and rare opportunity. In the past, after discovering a mystic realm, they would organize people to enter immediately.
Thus, the elders were dissatisfied with this request, as this request was just wasting everyone’s time.
