Longevity Thunder Ancestor

Chapter 238 High Reward
At this time, Cao Xian came back to his senses from his previous concentration and started to chew the chicken leg madly again.

Ning Fa leaned over and whispered, "Brother Cao, please give me some advice."

Cao Xian put the chicken leg down, wiped his mouth with his sleeve, chuckled, and then explained to Ning Fa in a talkative manner: "The so-called Yuanling Secret Realm refers to an independent small cave. It is said that tens of thousands of years ago, a powerful sect used it for disciples to train. Later, the powerful sect perished, and the small cave was nowhere to be found."

"More than a thousand years ago, when we and the Wanfa Sect were developing the Yunhuang Marsh, we triggered some kind of restriction, and this small cave appeared again. Since then, it has appeared regularly every fifty years. Because this cave was originally used by the sect for trials for low-level disciples, there are cultivation restrictions in it, and only Qi training cultivators can enter it."

"Because of the special environment and the fact that no one has disturbed it for such a long time, many rare natural treasures grow there, and even some of the main materials for foundation-building pills grow there, such as the most important Heavenly Spirit Fruit and Golden Marrow Ganoderma. This has also become an important source of spiritual materials for foundation-building pills for our two major sects. Every fifty years, the two sects will send disciples to this secret place to pick spiritual materials."

"The other three sects only occasionally participate, because there are similar secret realms in their spheres of influence. If these major sects want to participate, they usually have to pay a high price, such as exchanging the right to explore the secret realms."

After that, Cao Xian whispered, "This kind of secret treasure hunt is extremely dangerous. Not to mention the dangerous places and powerful monsters in the secret realm, you will have to fight for life and death with people from other sects. Even fellow disciples may kill each other. It is said that every time a sect disciple enters a secret realm to hunt for treasure, less than 40% to 50% can return safely. Therefore, this kind of secret treasure hunt is also called the Blood Trial. Every time, the sect has to promise generous rewards to get enough people to participate."

Ning Fa's eyes flickered slightly. This kind of secret can only be known after entering the sect.

He bowed and thanked sincerely, "Thank you, Senior Brother Cao, for clearing up my doubts."

Cao Xian's answer really answered his long-standing doubts.

Because he knew before that some of the main materials of the Foundation Establishment Pill were almost extinct, but the Foundation Establishment Pill in the world of immortal cultivation seemed to have never been out of stock.

At auctions in some larger-scale markets, Foundation Establishment Pills would appear every once in a while.

It turns out that the channel for spiritual materials is in the secret realm controlled by these major sects.

At this time, Cao Xian looked at Ning Fa with a sharp gaze and asked, "Junior Brother Ning, I believe that the sect will soon begin selecting candidates to enter the secret realm. Will you participate? With Junior Brother Ning's strength, I think you can achieve great things in the secret realm."

Ning Fa pondered for a moment and said slowly, "I can't decide yet. This secret realm sounds a bit too dangerous, especially since it looks like the five major sects will send people to participate this time. The casualty rate is likely to be much higher than in the past."

Cao Xian nodded. "I think so too. This time, I'm afraid it would be good if only 20% to 30% of the people can come out alive. But we might as well see what rewards the sect will offer. Judging from the scale of this event, even foundation-building pills may be given. In this case, it's not impossible to take a risk."

Ning Fa's expression changed slightly.

In fact, he had a foundation-building pill on him, which he obtained from the cave on Linglu Island.

Ning Fa didn't have much confidence that he could successfully build his foundation with just one foundation-building pill.

If the sect really offers the Foundation Establishment Pill as a reward, he would seriously consider it.

So what Cao Xian said is very right. Whether to participate or not still depends on the rewards offered by the sect.

Soon after, the banquet came to an end. Zhang Zhilong was the first to leave, and others also stood up to say goodbye.

Ning Daozhen didn't even look at Ning Fa and left directly.

Instead, Cao Xian took Ning Fa's hand and said affectionately, "Junior Brother Ning and I hit it off right away. We should keep in touch from time to time... Hey, maybe we will meet in the Yuanling Secret Realm."

"Nephew Ning, come here now."

It was Uncle Liang who shouted.

Cao Xian laughed and said, "Brother Ning, the benefits are here, come over quickly."

After that, he left in a hurry.

When Ning Fa walked over, he found that Uncle Liang was surrounded by several outer disciples like him.

Uncle Liang said with a smile on his face: "You are all outstanding talents in our outer courtyard. If you need anything in the future, such as accepting some tasks or exchanging some precious elixirs, you can go directly to Dai Tao. If he can't handle it, I will personally come forward. I just hope that you can enter the inner gate as soon as possible."

The few people who were left behind all showed excitement on their faces, thanked him in unison, and then left. Ning Fa fell into deep thought on his way out of Tailing Peak.

The benefits given by Uncle Liang are not so easy to obtain. Once you get them, you will be labeled as a master-disciple faction, and it will be difficult to get rid of them in the future.

However, his current cultivation level is still low, and he has not yet understood the sect's situation clearly, so he does not want to take sides rashly.

……

After this gathering, the news that the Yuanling Secret Realm would be opened ahead of schedule began to spread among ordinary disciples, especially among the many outer disciples.

While many disciples were discussing enthusiastically, they were all reluctant to participate in this secret realm.

Because the danger of this battle in the secret realm has also spread.

Not long after, the sect confirmed the news.

He also announced that this time he would select 120 Qi training disciples from within the sect to enter the secret realm, which was twice as many as the last time.

And the rewards offered were incredibly high.

Regardless of how much the disciples who enter the sect gain, they will be given 300 contribution points to the sect.

Secondly, rewards will be given for every spiritual herb or other corresponding spiritual object harvested.

Even if it is a first-grade, low-grade, hundred-year-old spiritual herb, it will give at least a hundred contribution points.

If it is the second level, the contribution points will directly reach 500 points.

As the age of the medicine increases by a hundred years, the contribution points will increase accordingly.

If it is a thousand-year-old elixir, you can get at least two thousand contribution points.

In other words, an outer disciple with poor qualifications might need tens of thousands of contribution points to be promoted to the inner sect.

This was something that was simply impossible to accomplish.

However, if you participate in this secret realm and are lucky enough to obtain a few thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, you can get a high amount of contribution points enough to enter the inner gate.

In addition, the sect will allow the top ten disciples who obtain the secret realm to each choose a top-grade magical weapon from the sect’s treasury.

The top three will be directly rewarded with a Foundation Establishment Pill.

Such a generous reward from the sect instantly ignited the enthusiasm of many outer disciples.

The disciples who were originally hesitant were immediately tempted by the high reward.

However, not everyone can take part in this journey to the secret realm. After all, one does not have enough strength. Even if one enters the secret realm, one would be lucky enough to survive, let alone obtain treasure.

The sect will hold trials in various outer courtyards, and only those who get a place in the trials can participate in this secret realm.

As a result, Ling Yue and his companions completed their sect mission ahead of schedule and returned to the sect.

Ning Fa and a few others gathered in Yungu Market to discuss the secret realm selection.
