128: Chapter 128 Bone-Eating Forest

Meanwhile, Chen Changqing, who was still in the Yuxu Sect, did not know that a major change had already occurred in his Family. His most important goal right now was to win a quota; with this quota, the Chen Family would also have the opportunity to become a Purple Mansion Family.

Half a month later, on this day, the Zifu Secret Realm officially opened.

Many Foundation Establishment Cultivators arrived outside the Secret Realm early to wait.

Chen Changqing carefully scanned the surroundings and found that the auras of many Cultivators were extremely restrained. If his Divine Sense were not strong enough, he truly would not be able to accurately observe the opponents' strength.

Among these Foundation Establishment Cultivators, there were a few Foundation Establishment auras that made even him somewhat wary.

Without exception, they had all reached the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment, and some were even very young.

At this moment, a Purple Mansion Master from the Yuxu Sect stepped out. He was an elderly man with a completely white face and hair, and his gray robe was embroidered with some cloud patterns.

When he appeared, the previously somewhat noisy Foundation Establishment Cultivators immediately quieted down.

"Fellow young friends, the Zifu Secret Realm is now open. Prepare yourselves, and this old man will not waste your time," the old man stroked his beard and smiled.

Then, he motioned to ten Foundation Establishment Disciples within the Sect to open the Secret Realm's Formation, allowing these Foundation Establishment Cultivators to enter.

All the Foundation Establishment Cultivators bowed in salute, and then entered batch by batch.

Chen Changqing and the other two were also in the large procession.

Once they entered the Secret Realm, they could be teleported to various places at any time.

This Secret Realm could neither be said to be very large nor very small; even if a Foundation Establishment Cultivator spent several months, they could not explore all of it.

But if a Purple Mansion Master were to come, in less than a month, they could thoroughly figure out the entire Secret Realm.

After Chen Changqing and the other two entered, in the blink of an eye, he arrived in a lush forest.

He turned his head to look, but Li Taixuan and Fang Yunchen were nowhere to be seen.

Chen Changqing had no choice but to take out the map and look at it; he had arrived at the Bone-Corroding Forest in the southeast of the Secret Realm.

"It actually is the Bone-Corroding Forest?!"

He had learned from the mouths of Li Taixuan and the other that this Bone-Corroding Forest was an extremely dangerous hazardous area in the Secret Realm because the trees here all ate people.

Or rather, any living creature would be devoured by the trees here.

Just as he was continuing to think, rustling sounds came from all around.

Chen Changqing immediately became alert.

Swish!

Countless vines attacked Chen Changqing, and he immediately took out a Rank 2 High Grade Talisman, the Leaving Fire Talisman.

Boom!

Many vines were instantly ignited and burned to ashes, while the remaining vines immediately retreated, appearing to be extremely terrified of these flames.

"As expected, the bone-corroding trees here all fear fire-attribute Spells," Chen Changqing thought thoughtfully.

"In that case, we just need to carefully avoid that Rank 3 bone-corroding tree."

He advanced in one direction, dropping Leaving Fire Talismans along the way to deter these bone-corroding trees. Before they came, they had already decided where to meet.

Now he had to hurry to the vicinity of the Myriad Blades Mountain Range. That place was relatively safe, and there were no Rank 3 Yao Beasts. Moreover, this place was close to the center of the Secret Realm; no matter where you were teleported, even if it were far, it would only take a little over a month to arrive.

Yet the time the Secret Realm remained open was precisely one month.

Of course, it was impossible for them to actually wait a little over a month. If the others had not arrived within five days, they could only explore on their own.

However, they held jade pendants issued by the Yuxu Sect. These jade pendants could resonate with jade pendants possessing the same aura within a radius of a hundred miles. The closer the distance, the hotter the jade pendant would become.

"Hmm?"

A few miles directly ahead of Chen Changqing, there was a blood tree growing several crimson fruits.

"That is a blood flame fruit tree! I didn't expect there to be a blood flame fruit here, and there's more than one," Chen Changqing was surprised.

The blood flame fruit tree was a Rank 2 spiritual tree, and the fruit borne by this spiritual tree was called the blood flame fruit. The blood flame fruit had the effect of refining cultivation and slightly increasing Lifespan. If consumed by a Middle Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it could exempt one year of bitter cultivation. If given to an Early Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, a single fruit could exempt three years of bitter cultivation, and the blood flame spiritual tree before his eyes actually possessed around ten of them.

If he could acquire this blood flame fruit, perhaps his chance of obtaining the ziyu pill quota would be even greater.

Once Chen Changqing made his decision, he immediately took action.

However, shortly after he approached that blood flame fruit tree, his expression immediately changed from joy to somewhat ugly, because several Foundation Establishment Cultivators had also targeted this place.

The other few people also spotted Chen Changqing, and the hostility in their eyes was very heavy.

Originally two groups of people were in a standoff, and suddenly another person appeared; which of them would not be worried?

There were only so few blood flame fruits. Even if they did not consume them, taking them to exchange for contribution points would also be a huge sum of income.

"Fellow Daoist, who are you?" Among the group of Cultivators on the left, a plump Cultivator asked.

Chen Changqing did not answer. How could he not know that the other party was probing his background?

Seeing that Chen Changqing did not answer, the plump man turned his head to look at the opposite side. "Fellow Daoist Zhang, both your and my sides have three people, and our strengths are not much different. If we fight, outsiders will reap the benefits. Let us first resolve the person before us, and then we can divide the spoils. How about it?"

The gaze of the leading Foundation Establishment Cultivator on the opposite side softened somewhat, clearly somewhat moved by the plump Cultivator's proposal. He looked at his two companions behind him, and then nodded to the plump Cultivator.

Both sides immediately attacked Chen Changqing.

"Two at the eighth layer of Foundation Establishment and four at the seventh layer; this strength is also alright." Chen Changqing's voice was somewhat soft, but it could still be heard clearly by the few people.

"Arrogant! So what even if you are at the Perfection of the ninth layer of Foundation Establishment? Do you really think you can deal with the six of us?" the plump Cultivator said angrily. Being looked down upon like this by someone for the first time in his life made him extremely furious.

The other few people were equally furious.

Chen Changqing merely lifted a finger and gently tapped, and one hundred and eight paths of Azure Thunder instantly burst forth.

"What?!"

The terrifying power shocked the six people present.

"Quickly defend!" The two leading Cultivators hurriedly reminded their companions.

Boom!

The defenses set up by the six people shattered in an instant, and along with it, they were also sent flying back dozens of zhang.

Chen Changqing glanced at them, and in a few steps arrived beside the blood flame fruit tree. With a thought, ten blood flame fruits were picked, and then he took out ten jade boxes to pack the blood flame fruits. Just like that, he left directly without even looking at the six people.

Those six people wiped the blood from the corners of their mouths, looking at the departing back of Chen Changqing with unnatural terror in their eyes.

What kind of monster is this?!

After a while, the plump Cultivator and the other leader looked at each other with bitterness on their faces. They had not expected that their two groups of people had been in a standoff here for a quarter of an hour, only to end up gaining nothing, and instead having it snatched away by a monster whose name they did not know.

The crucial point was that the opponent only made a single move, causing them to no longer be able to muster any desire to resist.

Swish, swish, swish!

After Chen Changqing collected the blood flame fruits, he accelerated his speed to leave the Bone-Corroding Forest. Although there were quite a few good things in this place, it was still better to first rendezvous with Li Taixuan and the other two, and then explore together.

Moreover, these treasures on the periphery were not the ultimate deciding key. The true key lay in the core area of the entire Secret Realm; that place was even more dangerous, but the treasures were also even more precious.
