Chapter 106: Seeking Riches and Risks (Part 1)
"Brother No. 1, don't hurry to leave. Come and sit down, let's talk slowly."
Fang Yi smiled and grabbed Zhang Yi. If he didn't know, it would be fine. Since he knew that there was a secret realm on the hands of the Hidden Group, Fang Yi naturally could not let it go. Not to mention that the Hidden Group had twenty places, even if there was only one, Fang Yi would have to get it.
"Fang Yi, to be honest, even if you kill me, I don't have the right to get five places for you."
Zhang Yi smiled bitterly, hesitated and said, "I'm here to find you this time, and I want you to help me with a quota. I have a nephew who has good talent in martial arts practice. I want him to go in and try his luck, but he can't occupy the quota of the Zhang family, so I'll come to you for help."
"Can I get a quota for entering the secret realm?"
Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He had no connection with the world of cultivators, let alone those families that depended on the world of cultivators. Although he was a congenital cultivator, Fang Yi did not think that those people would sell him face.
"I heard that the person who led the team this time was Song Tianyu. If you ask him for a quota, there should be no big problem."
Zhang Yi told the truth. According to his ideas, Fang Yi himself was already a congenital cultivator and would not be interested in that secret realm, but Zhang Yi did not expect that Fang Yi was even more cruel than himself, and he would send five people in as soon as he opened his mouth.
"So it's Mr. Song." Fang Yi touched his chin and said to himself: "Then if I ask Mr. Song for five places, will Mr. Song give it?"
The opportunity to open the secret realm is rare, especially this secret realm has certain opportunities for warriors. Even if Wei Mingcheng and Si Yuanjie are put aside first, Fang Yi will send Bai Chuxia in no matter what. In addition, he is guarding the Dharma, so the two places are the least.
"That's absolutely impossible."
Zhang Yi shook his head repeatedly and said, "Old Song can give you a quota, probably they are squeezed out from the gap between your teeth. Maybe this quota will be released from their Song family. If you want five, it is absolutely impossible."
"Is there no other way?" Fang Yi asked.
"It's not impossible, but..." Zhang Yi stopped halfway through his words.
"Brother No. 1, just tell me if you have a solution. It will be fine if I bring your nephew in at that time."
Seeing Zhang Yi talking hesitantly, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing. The hidden group guarded the secret realm for so many years, and there must be some other tricks. Maybe they could put them in in advance.
"I heard, I just heard."
Zhang Yi first emphasized the wording and then continued: "I heard that there are some random cultivators in the world who have not joined the sects. These random cultivators will be excluded by those sects. For example, when they encounter a newly opened secret realm, they have no chance to enter, and they are basically excluded.
However, among these wandering cultivators, there are also powerful people. They often forcibly rush through when the secret realm is opened. As long as they rush in, those sects will have no choice, because the strength of some wandering cultivators is almost the same as that of those high-level sects, and the sects are unwilling to offend these wandering cultivators to death.”
"Brother No. 1, do you mean, let me lead someone to rush in?"
Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Fang Yi's eyes suddenly lit up and he said, "Who are there other people in the Cultivator Realm except Mr. Song? How strong is it? In addition, can't I go in before the secret realm is opened? That way, I won't be able to conflict with them."
"The secret realm is protected by our hidden group. Go in early. First, I can't submit a job, and second, I can't do it either."
Zhang Yi shook his head. If he wanted to enter the entrance of the secret realm, three leaders of the Hidden Group needed to be present together. If he went alone, he would not be able to pass the level guarded by the army alone. Unless Zhang Yi wanted to be enemies with all the aristocratic families and the entire world of cultivators, he would not have to think about such thoughts.
"Then you can only force yourself to break in. Whoever walks behind will be considered unlucky." Fang Yi looked at Zhang Yi and asked, "Brother 1, what consequences will I have if I lead a few people in? The world of cultivators and your aristocratic families will not send people to deal with me, right?"
"Where do people from the aristocratic family dare?"
Zhang Yi smiled for the first time and said, "Our aristocratic families sound very glorious, but that is only for the secular world. Many aristocratic families have nothing to do with the foundation of an ordinary cultivator in the world of cultivators, and they have no strength to deal with you."
The secular world is not suitable for cultivators to practice today, so cultivators from all aristocratic families have basically entered the world of cultivators. The heads of the aristocratic families are at best warriors. They just want to deal with Fang Yi, so they can't send anyone out. They can't let warriors deal with cultivators, right?
"As for whether the world of cultivators will send someone to inquire about this matter, I can't say."
Zhang Yi pondered for a moment, and then said, "This secret realm is actually dispensable for the cultivator realm. The people sent here are all useless people without spiritual roots in various sects. As long as these people are not hurt, I guess they will not make a big fuss about this."
In fact, the useless people Zhang Yisuo mentioned are not completely unfounded. Most of them are the direct descendants of some powerful figures in the sects in the cultivator world. Because they cannot become cultivators without spiritual roots, they have won such an opportunity for them.
Of course, being able to enter that secret realm does not mean that you will definitely get this opportunity. Usually, only three or five of them can get the opportunity in the secret realm and advance to the innate realm. Most people will return without success.
"Fang Yi, if you were the ones who broke in, I guess even those in the cultivator realm would pinch their noses and recognize them." Zhang Yi glanced at Fang Yi, and what he said made Fang Yi a little puzzled.
"I don't have any power in the world of cultivators, so how could they pinch their noses and recognize them?"
Fang Yi suddenly felt aroused his heart when he spoke, and then he smiled bitterly, saying, "You are talking about my master in the world of cultivators? I don't even know where my master is, so how could they care about this?"
There is something about his master. Fang Yi has heard Song Tianyu and Zhang Yi mention it several times, but they did not tell him the situation. They just said that his master is very famous in the world of cultivators and basically belongs to the kind of existence that no one dares to provoke.
However, Fang Yi has already cultivated his innately and has not seen anyone from the master looking for him. If Fang Yi hadn't been worried that the old Taoist priest had been buried for peace, he might have really returned to Fangshan to dig up the old Taoist priest's grave to see if he had pretended to die.
So Fang Yi really didn't have any sense of belonging to his cheap master, and he never felt that this master could help him. If it weren't for Zhang Yi, even Fang Yi himself wouldn't have thought of it.
"Old Song must have reported to their family that you are a child of that sect. If his family knows it, it means that the world of cultivators will know it. So even if you lead a few people to force you into it, no one will ask you for your offense."
Zhang Yi did not mention the name of Master Fang Yi. That name is also a taboo for cultivators. Since Fang Yi's elders did not tell Fang Yi himself, how could Zhang Yi dare to talk too much?
"Okay, if my master is really alive, this will give him a headache."
Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Fang Yi couldn't help laughing. Deep down, Fang Yi hoped that what Zhang Yi said was true, because it means that the old Taoist priest who was like Fang Yi was still alive. As for why the master didn't come to find him, it was a secondary matter.
"Fang Yi, look at me, how about me?"
Zhang Yi came to find Fang Yi this time, and the first thing he did was to fight Fang Yi to ask Song Tianyu for a place. But since Fang Yi decided to break in now, he didn't care about bringing another person with him, so he just let his nephew and Fang Yi enter the secret realm together.
"Okay, anyway, I offended those people by myself, so it would be fine to bring a few more." Fang Yi laughed and nodded in agreement. Not to mention anything else, just based on the news sent by Zhang Yi, Fang Yi also received his favor.
"That's really thank you!"
Zhang Yi was overjoyed when he heard this. Although he was over the age, he had volcanic fluid and ice marrow in his hands. As long as he quit his affairs and devoted himself to practicing for a while, the possibility of advancing to the innate level is still very high.
If his nephew can get the opportunity now, even if people from their lineage grow up in the family, they may gain a place in the sect of dependent cultivators in the future. It is not impossible for Zhang Yi to start a family by himself.
"Brother No. 1, if you ask me to bring people in, you have to tell me the time and place of the secret realm, right?"
Fang Yi looked at Zhang Yi with some amusement and said, "Didn't you say there are troops there? You have to arrange it when you go there. I just took people into the secret realm, but I don't want to have any conflicts with the army."
"The secret realm is not open so quickly, it will probably take one or two months. Now there are just signs of opening it."
According to Zhang Yi's understanding, there will be some changes before the secret realm is opened, but it will usually be opened several months later. After explaining to Fang Yi, Zhang Yi continued: "The secret realm is Lop Nur in Krain. We will set off from the capital in a month. Then you can go with us."
"Lop Nur? Is the place where the country often conducts experiments?" Fang Yi was stunned for a moment when he heard this and said, "It seems like a no-man's land, right? Is the entrance to the secret realm in that place where birds cannot lay eggs?"
If Fang Yi had to think about it himself, Fang Yi would never have imagined that Lop Nur was originally an inland lake. Later, due to climate change and human water conservancy projects, the incoming water in the upstream decreased until it dried up, and now it is only a large piece of salt crust.
After Lop Nur dried up, the surrounding ecological environment changed drastically, all herbs died, and the sand guards of poplar trees died in groups. The desert advanced towards Lop Nur at a rate of 3 to 5 meters per year, and soon merged with the vast Takramakan Desert.
Lop Nur, which covers an area of tens of thousands of square kilometers, has since become a place where no grass grows, and is called the "Sea of Death".
Lop Nur and the ancient Loulan Kingdom that flourished because of it once attracted many domestic and foreign explorers. For thousands of years, many Chinese and foreign explorers have visited Lop Nur for inspection and wrote many books about Lop Nur adventures.
Of course, Fang Yi knew Lop Nur because it was deserted there, suitable for certain military experiments. Not only Fang Yi knew, but almost everyone who knew a little about military knowledge knew what had been detonated there.
"I don't know the specific location and location right now."
Zhang Yi nodded seriously. He had thought that this country was not secret for the people in the Hidden Group, but after taking over the power of the Hidden Group, Zhang Yi realized that there were many things he had not known before.
Moreover, even though he knew about the secret realm, Zhang Yi was not told the specific location. He could only inform him when he was about to go there. This was also the cultivator world that the cultivator world was preventing those hidden families from secret realm privately sending people to steal into the secret realm.
"Only one month left? Okay, I'll go there with you at that time."
Fang Yi nodded. He happened to refine some Huanyang pills in this month. He was still in awe of Fang Yi in the secret realm. With Huanyang pills in his hands, it would be like he would have an extra life and he could avoid danger at that time.
"By the way, is there any danger to the warriors?" Thinking of this, Fang Yi asked Zhang Yi. No matter what, the secret realm has been opened many times before, and those who come out should know the situation inside.
"Yes, and every time people go in, there are casualties."
Zhang Yi nodded seriously and said, "I'm just trying to tell you if you don't ask me. The proportion of casualties in the secret realm is about 30%. That is to say, 100 people can come out alive, only 60 or 70 people..."
According to Zhang Yi's understanding, the secret realm is a bit like a training ground set up by ancient powerful people. After entering the secret realm, everyone will receive a random training. If they pass the training, they will receive some rewards based on the difficulty of the training. Those who fail will be the ones who die in the secret realm 30%.
"There is such a secret realm?"
Fang Yi felt a little incredible when he heard this, and then hesitated a little. He originally thought that he would be together all the time after accompanying Bai Chuxia in, but according to Zhang Yisuo, they were likely to be separated after entering.
"Well, that's what people who have been in before said."
Zhang Yi said: "We are seeking wealth and honor in danger. Even if we fail to break through the innate state, we will get some benefits in the secret realm, so no one cares about the mortality rate at all. As long as there is a chance, people without spiritual roots will squeeze their heads and want to go in."
"I want to think about it!"
Fang Yi calmed down his heart. It was related to his wife's safety. Fang Yi could not act rashly, and at the same time he could not be the leader of Bai Chuxia. Whether to go to that secret realm still needs Bai Chuxia to make this idea himself.
"Okay!" Zhang nodded and said, "If you decide to go, just call me. I'll make some arrangements in advance. It's getting late, so I'll say goodbye first."
