Chapter 723 The Fourth Place

It's strange to say, their Wan Miao Mountain is different from the cultivators in other places. The cultivators of their sect don't have to go through the heavenly tribulation to ascend. They only need to pass the test in the sect, and then the disciples in the sect can perform a ritual together to send people to ascend through the altar. Since the establishment of Wan Miao Mountain, many people have been sent to ascend. Of course, there are also those who cannot adapt to the laws of the upper realm and turn to ashes under the white light. However, there has never been a case like Gu Shiyi who was about to ascend to the entrance but fell down again. It's really weird!

Sect Leader Qiu locked himself in a secret room and sat alone for three days without finding the answer. How do you want Chu Feng to answer Gu Shiyi?

Gu Shiyi looked at her strange expression and laughed in his heart, but pretended to be anxious on the surface.

"Senior, I have clearly already touched the mysteries of the upper realm. I am only one step away... only one step away... Why did I fall down? Could it be... that there was something wrong when your sect opened the altar?"

Chu Feng shook his head.

"Absolutely impossible..."

Of course, she couldn't tell Gu Shiyi the details, so she just comforted her.
"Don't worry, I will definitely be able to send you to the upper realm!"

They are also anxious because they can’t send people up!

It is not easy to open this altar. Every time it is opened, the fellow disciples have to go into seclusion for a whole year to recover their strength. If they come a few more times, I am afraid that all the benefits that Wan Miao Mountain gets from the upper realm will not be able to make up for these losses!
Gu Shiyi had no choice but to leave in disappointment. After asking several times, Chu Feng still couldn't explain it. Gu Shiyi smiled secretly in his heart, but pretended to be disappointed and sad on his face.

"Senior Chu, please let me walk around in the mountains to relax my mind!"

Chu Feng felt somewhat guilty towards her, and she knew that the formation of Wan Miao Mountain had been restored, and she would immediately notice any unusual movement by Gu Shiyi, so she nodded and let her go.

"Go ahead!"

Gu Shiyi was overjoyed, but pretended to be depressed. He rode the demon wind with his head down and left the cave...

While Gu Shiyi was pretending, Pu Yanlan had already obtained the third secret treasure of Tianyi Sect and brought back ten disciples. These four disciples had long admired Pu Yanlan, the famous sect master and disciple taught by the elders, and when they met her in person, they felt that she was indeed worthy of her reputation.
"Master Pu is a dual practitioner of the Way of Ghosts and the Way of Alchemy. Look at the ghost soldiers and generals under her. Each of them has clear eyes and no signs of madness. I guess her ritual skills are extremely sophisticated..."

"That's right. The elixir that Master Pu gave us is obviously not an ordinary item. If it were sold in the market outside, it would cost at least two spirit stones...Master Pu brought out whole bottles of it..."

The fourth secret treasure is in a small city near the sea, named Lingya. This small city was originally developed from a small dock by the sea. Not long after the small city was built, Tianyi Sect took a fancy to it and built a magic circle here, so that the disciples of the sect can be teleported to the seaside, so that they can go to several large cities nearby to exchange with the monks for the bones of sea monsters, monster pills and the like.

Precisely because this place is very remote and there are no sects of cultivators nearby, and most of the people in the city are mortals, the elders and the head of Tianyi Sect listed this city as a treasure hiding place when they were discussing how to deal with future crises. When the sect was breached, they did send a team of disciples here to hide the treasure, and then hid in the city under assumed names, waiting for the crisis in the sect to pass so that they could be called back.

As a result, they waited for many years. After so many years, the small town changed again. The invaders from the other side of the river fought with the local cultivators in a tug-of-war. Those big cities were very important. The invaders would occupy them for a short time and then take them back again. The repeated robbing made them unsuitable as a base for the cultivators. So they chose this small town and turned Lingya into the base camp. The invaders built this small town as solid as a rock, and there were strict checks on entry and exit, which trapped the disciples of Tianyi Sect in the city.

After Pu Yanlan arrived here and saw the situation, she left her disciples in a residential area outside the city.
"You stay here first, I will go into the city to find out the situation!"

This small town has become the invaders' base camp. The Tianyi Sect disciples inside may have discovered it. The secret treasure may no longer be preserved!

But these secret treasures are related to the future resurgence of Tianyi Sect, and they cannot be given up. Therefore, no matter what, we must go in and look for an answer!
One day, just after dawn, an old farmer couple drove an ox cart into the city to deliver fruits and vegetables. When the ox cart creaked to the city gate, someone took out a bronze mirror and shone it on the faces of the two people. A pair of white-haired old farmer couple appeared on the bronze mirror. The guard was still unwilling to be reassured, so he took out a talisman and pasted it on the two people. He saw that there was no spiritual light flashing on their bodies, and then he said,

"go in!"

The old farmer turned around and helped his wife onto the cart, then he climbed onto the front frame and drove the cart slowly towards the city. When they entered the city and arrived at a large house, the old farmer went to knock on the door. Someone came to answer the door, opened the corner door and let the cart in. When the cart stopped, someone came to unload the goods. The old farmer and his wife went down to help. There was no one around, and a basket of fruits and vegetables in the cart suddenly spoke.

"Yan'er, shall we go?"

Someone responded.
"Let's go!"

As soon as he said these two words, the two baskets of fruits and vegetables that were placed close together in the ox cart moved and turned into two people. The two of them held hands, turned around and disappeared!
But the old farmer and his wife turned around and saw that the car was empty. They looked at each other in surprise and said,

"Old man, I clearly remember there were two baskets left!"

"Yeah...I remember that too..."

"Could it be that you are old and confused... and remember it wrong?" The lady in charge of the kitchen came out and laughed.
"I think you are really getting old and confused. Ten baskets a day, then ten baskets in the kitchen is just right, no more, no less!"

"Oh oh oh..."

The old couple suddenly realized that someone else had helped move the things, so they thanked the housekeeper and drove the ox cart back.

At this time, Yan'er and Fox had already arrived on the street. It was already bright in the sky, and there were already many people walking back and forth on the street. Pu Yanlan looked at the clothes of these people and saw that most of them were wearing coarse cloth clothes. Their faces were haggard and their eyes were dull. She knew that these invaders from the other side of the strait had been doing the same thing as before after coming here, and they exploited the people to the utmost. The people under their rule had a very difficult life, so naturally they all looked pale!

The two of them also transformed into the appearance of ordinary people, blending in with the crowd, and walked through the entire street. They arrived in front of Li's Rouge Shop. Pu Yanlan looked up at the small mark on the lower right corner of the shop plaque, and felt relieved.

"It seems... they are still here!"

I walked in and took a quick look. It was still early and the shop had just opened. There was only a waiter cleaning. When the waiter saw someone coming in, he quickly put down what he was holding and came over to greet them.

"Sir, what do you want to buy?"

He looked up and down at the two women. They looked pretty good, but they were wearing coarse cloth and hairpins, and it was obvious that they were poor. He immediately lost interest and pointed at the door.
"The rouge there costs one penny a box, you can see for yourself..."

Pu Yanlan exchanged a glance with the fox, then walked over to pick out the rouge. With one hand hanging down, a wisp of black smoke came out of the sleeve, and she quietly slipped into the backyard under the waiter's nose. This kind of rouge, which cost only one penny per small box, was of poor quality. The fox pouted as she picked.
"Aren't you afraid of getting your face ruined if you put something like this on it?"

It is a naturally beautiful girl and does not need to apply these things. But I am worried about the women who bought these things!
The two of them pretended to look for a long time, then hesitantly took out a penny and bought a box. Although the waiter looked impatient, at least it was a good day to open a box. He took the penny and casually threw it into the cash box. Pu Yanlan pulled the fox out of the door.

"Yan'er, how is it?"

Pu Yanlan looked calm.
"The little devil I released just now didn't come back..."

"what……"

The fox was startled, thought for a moment and said,

"Could it be a defensive formation set up by the disciples of Tianyi Sect?"

Then Pu Yanlan said calmly,

"It doesn't matter if we explore it later..."

As I was speaking, I secretly thought,

“If I were a disciple of Tianyi Sect, in this city full of invaders, I would not be able to use any spiritual power, let alone set up any magic arrays. I would just live like an ordinary person. Maybe I could still survive, but if there was any abnormality, I would be killed if I was unlucky!”

Thinking of this, Pu Yanlan frowned. Why did she feel a little uneasy...

The two found a house near the Rouge Shop. There was only a young couple and a small child in the house. The man went out to sea to fish every day, while the woman stayed at home doing laundry and taking care of the child. Although the young couple had a hard time, they were very loving.

The two pretended to be the man's parents who lived outside the city and came to the city to help take care of the child. The young couple was very happy and cleaned a room for the two to stay in. Then they quietly checked the rouge shop in the dark.
"Yan'er, it's been five days and nothing unusual has happened. How about... we go over and reveal our identities to them?"

The fox couldn't hold back any longer, Pu Yanlan shook her head slowly.
"hold on……"

Although there was nothing wrong with the shop, she just felt that something was wrong. There was always a voice in her heart reminding her,

"Don't be careless!"

After waiting for another three days, they still didn't find anything unusual. Instead, they developed a relationship with their adopted grandson. The child was only one year old and could only crawl on the ground using all four limbs. However, because the family was poor, the adults could only eat half full, and the child could only be fed with rice porridge. As a result, the child's teeth grew slowly, and his legs were so weak that he couldn't even stand. He looked very weak. The fox felt sorry for him, so he asked Pu Yanlan for a bottle of body-building pills, dissolved them into water, and quietly poured them into the water tank...
