Staying in the sect, controlling beasts and cultivating immortals

When Yu Changsheng heard this, his eyes flickered like a hungry wolf seeing its prey.

"Senior, can you get all the stones from below? So many gems should be worth a lot, right?"

The black tortoise gave two bitter smiles.

"You are a little too greedy."

"The water down there is so cold that it can't be compared to the water here. Even if you have reached the level of a Spiritual Transformation, you can't stay there for more than a quarter of an hour."

"Even if I am not afraid of the cold, I can't stay down there for long. You want me to get all those icy stones up from down there. Do you want me to sacrifice my life for it?"

Yu Changsheng smiled awkwardly, knowing that he was being too greedy.

Such treasures, even if he could get just a little bit, would be enough for him to use.

"Haha, senior, you misunderstood. How could I let you risk your life to get these things for me? For me, the most important thing is that you are safe and sound."

Black Turtle smiled bitterly and said, "Forget it. It's not that I don't want to help you get these treasures, but I can't get so many."

"But it's no problem for me to pick up some scattered Ice God Stones for you. Please wait for a moment."

Yu Changsheng was immediately overjoyed, "Senior, please be careful. Thank you."

"Ah."

The black tortoise responded casually and dived into the water again.

Yu Changsheng also began to look forward to it at this moment, and even his practice of magic power became a little absent-minded.

After about another half an hour, Yu Changsheng felt that his magic power was almost exhausted, and he could only return to the shore and wait.

I couldn't help but be surprised at how strong Senior Black Turtle was, as he could actually stay in the stream for so long.

As expected, all things in nature have the characteristics of mutual promotion and mutual restraint.

At this moment, the stream suddenly began to shake, and after a while, a bunch of small hills were seen emerging from the stream.

The black turtle turned into a size of several meters, dragging at least several hundred pieces of ice on its back, using magic power to attach it to its back.

The black tortoise slowly came ashore, released its magic power, and its icy body fell to the ground piece by piece.

Immediately, some plants on the shore began to turn into ice sculptures and shattered into ice chips on the ground.

Yu Changsheng took a quick glance and found that there were at least two hundred pieces of ice divine stones.

"Thank you for your hard work, senior. I didn't expect you to bring back so much?"

The black tortoise nodded and said, "I picked up almost all of the scattered icy divine stones below."

'All that's left are some huge rocks that are fixed and connected to the underground. Even I can't do anything about it.'

Yu Changsheng nodded and said, "Just these alone, I am already satisfied. Thank you, senior."

The black tortoise nodded and said, "With so many icy divine stones, you can build an environment similar to this stream in your own cave, and the effect can even be stronger."

"I guess it won't cost a hundred bucks to get the effect of this stream."

"This Ice God Stone can not only assist in cultivation, but can also be used to refine some magic weapons. You must not easily reveal it to others, otherwise you will suffer disaster."

Yu Changsheng certainly understood this truth. It is a crime to possess a treasure. He is not a fool and of course he would not show off his treasure casually.

"What the senior said is very true. I will remember it."

"Okay, I'll go soak in the creek for a while, you can do whatever you want."

"Yes!"

Yu Changsheng nodded heavily. He didn't expect that the black turtle could still hold on. This was far beyond Yu Changsheng's expectations.

At this time, his other beasts had already followed after seeing Yu Changsheng coming out.

Yu Changsheng knew that the magic power of the beasts had definitely not been fully consumed, but he didn't want to force them too much.

It's good that it has lasted this long.

After the Red Purgatory Dragon came up, it immediately lit up a patch of trees to keep itself warm. The Colorful Star Deer and the Golden-winged Roc also came over.

Only Emperor Zi Ling returned to his own natal magic weapon to recuperate, quietly digesting the benefits of this time.

“These guys.”

Yu Changsheng smiled bitterly and shook his head. After he came up, all the previous chills immediately disappeared, leaving only a clear and comfortable feeling.

These guys are obviously exaggerating.

After counting the pile of ice divine stones, Yu Changsheng simply processed them and sealed them into a storage bag.

This time, a total of 236 pieces of Ice God Stones were harvested, which was a very rich harvest.

Yu Changsheng stared at the bottom of the stream, finding it hard to imagine how many icy divine stones there were underground.

I guess what I got this time is just a drop in the bucket.

At this moment, he finally understood the benefits of this secret realm.

This is an area that has hardly been developed.

If this is left outside, it will be discovered.

It is estimated that no matter how many ice divine stones there are below, they will be dug out clean by all major forces.

It can only be said that this secret realm has restrictions on cultivation level, and only those with Purple Mansion cultivation level can enter. This has protected the environment here to a great extent and prevented it from being overly damaged.

It opens once every few decades, which is enough time for the environment to repair itself and complete the cycle.

"This world is indeed magical. It seems to be ownerless, but in fact, it is silently protected by rules, which is why it can last for so long."

Seeing that it was almost time, Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing reunited.

I found that she had almost finished roasting the prey.

Although it is simply grilled with a little salt, it has a very rich aroma due to the extremely tender meat.

Yu Changsheng walked over, touching his stomach, and smelled the golden barbecue.

"Haha, not bad, the Saint's cooking skills are so good, the roasted food is sizzling and juicy, it makes people's appetite whetted."

Chen Xueqing chuckled, used the silver knife in her hand to cut a piece of meat and started eating carefully.

Yu Changsheng was not polite either. He borrowed a magic knife and started to cut up the barbecue.

A piece of barbecue the size of a domestic pig was quickly eaten up by the two of them.

Other immortal cultivators seldom eat on a daily basis, but once they start eating, they can’t stop at all.

This little bit of stuff was not enough to make Yu Changsheng feel full.

But it was getting late, and Yu Changsheng touched his stomach, feeling a little unsatisfied.

"Haha, it seems I need to get more prey next time."

Chen Xueqing's cheeks flushed slightly, and she found that she had indeed eaten a little too much, but this situation only lasted for a moment before she recovered.

"Let's take a short break today and continue our journey early tomorrow morning."

"it is good."

Yu Changsheng had no objection. Besides, Senior Xuangui was still practicing in the stream, so it was not appropriate for him to leave immediately.

The two of them also planned to find a place to camp nearby.

Before entering the secret realm, Yu Changsheng had made some preparations.

Two simple tents were quickly set up, although they were certainly not comparable to the cave where he usually lived.

At least it's much better than living directly in a cave or outside.

There is almost no need to consider safety issues.

With three beasts guarding outside, it is almost impossible for humans or spirit beasts to launch a sneak attack.

Chen Xueqing also praised: "Your beasts are really convenient." "Hehe. They are really good."

Yu Changsheng asked the Red Purgatory Dragon, the Colorful Star Deer and the Golden-winged Roc to guard in three directions respectively.

The night passed quickly.

Early in the morning of the second day, a light white mist appeared in the forest.

Yu Changsheng went to the stream and washed his face. The icy cold water made him shiver.

At this time, the black turtle also floated up from the stream.

Yu Changsheng was shocked and asked, "Did Senior Black Turtle stay in this stream for a night?"

The black tortoise said: "I know you can't stay here for long. You should stay longer in such a nice place."

Yu Changsheng was completely speechless. It would take him a long time to feel tired after staying in there for an hour, but the black turtle actually stayed in there for a whole day and night. He couldn't even imagine it.

"Senior Xuangui is indeed amazing. I admire him."

"Don't flatter me. Let's set off as soon as possible. I believe there are better benefits waiting for you in the depths of this holy land."

"Haha, what the senior said is absolutely right. I think so too."

After Yu Changsheng put away several beasts, he met up with Chen Xueqing who had almost finished her work.

After a brief discussion, the two decided not to stay in the Mountain of Beasts any longer.

Although the supplies here are extremely rich, they are only relatively low-level materials after all.

Yu Changsheng, who had just gained a lot of benefits, could not let his appetite be filled by these petty profits.

The two of them immediately sped up and crossed the Mountain of Beasts.

Going at full speed, it took less than half a day to cross the mountain range.

Sitting on the Golden-Winged Roc was also very convenient. Some obstructing flying beasts were easily killed without encountering too many obstacles.

Beyond the mountains, there is an endless prairie ahead.

The boundless grassland meets the blue sky, and suddenly there is a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Yu Changsheng couldn't help but shout "release" a few times on the back of the golden-winged Roc.

The environment here is quite to his liking.

The saint Chen Xueqing standing by was almost frightened. She looked at Yu Changsheng in silence and ultimately did not say a word of criticism.

I thought it was because Yu Changsheng was too nervous during this period.

In fact, Yu Changsheng just felt very happy when he encountered such an environment, and it was a subconscious action.

Seeing a group of animals appearing below, Yu Changsheng became curious again.

He wanted to go hunting, but was stopped by Chen Xueqing.

"Yu Changsheng, do you remember why we came here?"

"We are already at a huge disadvantage with one less person on our team, yet you are still so relaxed."

Yu Changsheng also realized that he had gone too far.

He knew how much pressure Chen Xueqing was under, so he could only comfort her:

"Haha, I am not unaware of the Saint's concerns."

“It’s just that even if we try harder to find the materials for the transformation of spirits, we may not be able to beat others, so I didn’t expect to win through this method.”

"I wanted you to relax, but it seems the Saint misunderstood my meaning."

"In that case, let's go find some materials for the transformation of spirits first, so that the Saint can rest assured."

Only then did Chen Xueqing realize that she had misunderstood Yu Changsheng. She pursed her lips and said nothing, looking at the grassland passing by quickly below, not knowing what she was thinking.

Yu Changsheng also put away his playful intention at this time and controlled the Golden-Winged Roc to speed up.

"Logically speaking, as long as we pass the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range, we will find the materials for the God Transformation process."

"It's just that this grassland doesn't seem to be a place where any materials for transformation into a god could possibly appear."

Chen Xueqing also suspected: "It may be because the view here is wide, and it is too close to the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range."

Yu Changsheng said: "It seems that we can only move forward a little further. We won't find anything in this grassland."

After some discussion, the two decided to move on and skip the grassland.

Until night, the vision began to become unclear and the direction could only be determined through spiritual sense.

Yu Changsheng began to slow down to avoid accidentally running into anything dangerous.

Moreover, flying for a whole day would be quite exhausting for the Golden-Winged Roc.

Yu Changsheng touched the golden-winged Roc under him and suggested, "I think we should fly on our own first and let the golden-winged Roc rest for a while."

"Also, we can reduce the number of targets at night and prevent being discovered."

Chen Xueqing also agreed and put away the golden-winged Roc.

The two men moved forward, one on the left and one on the right, but when they crossed a river area, they suddenly found a fire along the river.

And these flames seemed to be moving slowly.

It’s just that the distance is too far, and it’s difficult to tell the situation there.

Yu Changsheng immediately stopped Chen Xueqing and whispered, "There is a fire in that area."

"Could it be another disciple?"

Chen Xueqing stopped, focused her eyes, and tried her best to see the situation there clearly.

However, the fire was at least ten kilometers away from the two of them, making it difficult to distinguish the specific situation.

"Impossible. The disciples of Sea Beast Island are absolutely not allowed to cross the Hundred Beasts Mountain Range. Moreover, with their strength, coming to this area is just courting death."

Yu Changsheng asked: "If they are not disciples of Sea Beast Island, could they be local natives?"

"Are there indigenous people in this holy secret realm?"

Although most of the secret realms are uninhabited, they are unpredictable and no one knows what is inside.

"Natives? I've never seen them before, but the exploration of the holy land secrets by Sea Beast Sky Island has always been very limited."

“It’s possible that there really were indigenous people there.”

Yu Changsheng now began to hesitate whether to contact the people there.

They came to the secret realm of the holy land, and their familiarity with this place was definitely not as good as that of the local residents.

Therefore, if the two of them want to find some materials for spiritual transformation.

Maybe we can get some clues from these indigenous people, and then we just need to give them a little reward.

After a brief discussion, Yu Changsheng and Chen Xueqing both decided to make contact and see the situation first.

So the two of them slowed down and headed towards there.

It was a dark and windy day along the way, and the fire moved very slowly, which did not seem like a team of cultivators.

And as the flames got closer, Yu Changsheng could also feel that the other party was moving towards him.

After walking for a while, the two sides were very close.

Only then did Yu Changsheng see clearly that in front of the fire, there seemed to be a group of strange-looking beasts.

It doesn't look like a spiritual beast, but just an ordinary wild beast, with almost no mana fluctuations, and may not even reach the level of a first-level spiritual beast.

It is probably the kind that ordinary people raise.

Behind these beasts, there seemed to be quite a few human figures moving around. (End of this chapter)
