"Indeed, Master Wangchuan presides over Tianhan City, and as his in-law family, our Lin Family certainly cannot go without expressing our regards,"

"We wish for you, Erniu, to lead our Lin Family cultivators to Tianhan City to congratulate Master Wangchuan!"

Lin Anshu stated his purpose.

"Naturally, it must be me. I haven’t seen my elder brother in over a decade, it’s a good opportunity to visit him this time!"

Wang Erniu said excitedly.

"Once we have selected the personnel, you can set off, Erniu!"

In just one day, the Lin Family selected more than thirty members of the Lin Family to form a team,

Among them was none other than Lin Zhenyun,

Then, led by Wang Erniu, they went straight to Tianhan City. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

...

At the same time, in the Central Continent Cultivation Realm, in the Chaotic Domain.

Half a year ago, a new secret realm emerged millions of miles north of the Primordial Immortal City.

It had been many years since a new secret realm appeared in the Central Continent Cultivation Realm, and now one has appeared in the Chaotic Domain, a region jointly managed by the Three Great Influences,

It is considered an opportunity for the entire Central Continent cultivators.

Now it has attracted thousands of cultivators to come, and within a few months, a simple market has been formed near the entrance of the secret realm,

It is currently under the joint control of the Three Great Influences.

The market is extremely simple, with only a Tier Three Top-Grade Array covering it, and the buildings inside are simple stone houses, very basic, but the rent is not cheap at all.

Each stone house costs as much as ten thousand spirit stones per year in rent.

If it weren’t for the secret realm, no cultivator would willingly be taken advantage of like this, but with the secret realm here, many cultivators are willing to pay to rent them.

After all, those qualified to come here are all Core Formation Stage cultivators.

Spending ten thousand spirit stones for a few months of peace is worth it, especially with so many Core Formation cultivators gathered, holding small exchange meetings to trade items is quite an opportunity itself.

Or setting up a stall on the open ground near the market entrance, is also a good choice.

Three hundred zhang from the market entrance, there was a simple stall filled with a variety of precious spirit pills, Tier Three Low-Grade talismans, and even some Low-Grade magical treasures.

The stall owner was a burly man in a green robe, his face covered with a full beard.

This person was the guise of Zhou Xun, who arrived here two months ago,

When he first arrived, the market had just been established,

Initially, he just thought that with so many cultivators of the same stage here, it would be a good opportunity to deal with his previously accumulated spoils of war,

And see if he could trade for some suitable treasures,

While also doing some business in talismans and elixirs,

After all, he was aware of the story of those who made money not from mining, but from selling shovels during a gold rush.

Indeed, in just two months, he earned hundreds of thousands of spirit stones.

He also managed to exchange for quite a few good things.

For example, the Great Demon Beast Hide that could be used to refine Tier Three Talisman Paper, the spirit medicine to refine the Foundation Strengthening and Essence Nourishing Elixir, and materials for a Quasi-Third Tier Puppet,

Sufficient for his needs for several years.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been difficult to gather so much so quickly,

Just as he was planning to find a place to cultivate in seclusion, he learned from fellow cultivators he had befriended,

That this secret realm was very likely at the Tier Four level.

A Tier Four secret realm, which means there are quite a few spirit medicines above Tier Four inside, something highly sought after by even Nascent Soul Cultivators,

It was especially true for Zhou Xun.

Whether it was his main body or avatar, to continue improving his spiritual root talent, he needed spirit medicines of at least Tier Four Middle-Grade (which could be cultivated to Tier Four Top-Grade),

Ordinarily, this level of spirit medicine is much sought after by Nascent Soul cultivators, let alone Zhou Xun, who is a Core Formation cultivator,

Therefore, this secret realm is almost Zhou Xun’s only way to obtain Tier Four Middle-Grade spirit medicine, so he must go!

Additionally, since it’s just an avatar here, the real self is far away in the Eastern Wilderness, very safe,

Ultimately, he decided to enter the secret realm to seize the opportunity to obtain spirit medicines above Tier Four Middle-Grade.

On this day,

Zhou Xun sat cross-legged in front of the stall, meditating, when suddenly a flame flew towards him,

It was a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Seeing this, Zhou Xun waved his hand, an invisible large hand grasped the talisman into his palm, and he injected a trace of mana into it, placing it next to his ear, a clear, melodious voice came through:

"Daoist Chen Ping’an, the Three Alliances Hall has released new quotas for the secret realm, come quickly!"

The secret realm entrance is now under the control of the Three Great Influences.

But because the secret realm is located in the ungoverned Chaotic Domain, and before they jointly occupied the place, there were already hundreds of Core Formation loose cultivators here,

To avoid causing public outrage, when the Three Great Influences took control of the entrance, they also promised to release enough quotas, granting the loose cultivators the chance to enter the secret realm.

Otherwise, facing the wrath of hundreds of Core Formation loose cultivators, without Nascent Soul cultivators present, the Three Great Influences would likely suffer heavy losses.

Zhou Xun arrived slightly late previously, and as a result, missed the first distribution of quotas,

Just when he was considering buying a quota for a high price, he received the message.

The person who informed him was a loose cultivator at the Middle-Stage Core Formation named Su Qi from the Celestial Dao Alliance’s territory, known through purchasing spirit pills from Zhou Xun,

Perhaps due to shared interests, within a month, they became good friends.

Receiving the message, Zhou Xun waved his hand, packing up all the treasures on the stall into his storage bag,

Then he formed a hand seal with his hands, and his entire figure flickered, heading towards the Three Alliances Hall.

Throughout the open space, there were dozens of figures like him, quickly packing up the treasures and flying away.

Soon, Zhou Xun arrived at the front of a massive stone house covering dozens of zhang, where many Core Formation Stage cultivators had already gathered.

In the distance, more people were rapidly flying in this direction.

Seeing Zhou Xun’s figure, a young man in his thirties, dressed in a blue-green scholar’s robe, greeted him and then transmitted a message:

"Daoist Chen, you finally arrived, come over quickly!"

Zhou Xun thus came to Su Qi’s side,

"Thank you for informing me, Daoist Su, otherwise I might have missed this opportunity!"

"No worries, even without me, you would have soon heard the news!"

Just then, a middle-aged man in a brocade robe came out from above, lightly cleared his throat, quickly drawing everyone’s attention to himself.

"Greetings, fellow Daoists, I am Anx Yudao, the steward of the Righteous Alliance and the person in charge here,"

"Today, I have gathered you all to discuss the secret realm. Considering there are quite a number of participants, after discussions with the Three Great Alliances, we have decided to grant an additional forty quotas to you,"

"Sect cultivators, please refrain from making a fuss!"

As soon as he spoke, the cultivators below began to stir, and then a boisterous voice rang out:

"Forty quotas are not enough, there are over two hundred Taoist companions here!"

These words immediately garnered support from the crowd:

"That’s right, with forty quotas, it means four-fifths of us won’t have the opportunity to enter the secret realm!"

"The secret realm originated in the Chaotic Domain, not within the range of your Three Great Influences, what right do you have to control it so strictly?"

Watching the turmoil below, the middle-aged man in brocade robe smirked coldly, then turned back to say something to those behind him.

At that moment, more than a dozen figures flew out from behind him, landing in front,

Then they released a powerful aura, pressing down on the crowd,

Revealing themselves as Late-Stage Core Formation cultivators!

The crowd quieted down.

It was not these dozen or so Late-Stage Core Formation cultivators that scared them, after all, there were more than two hundred of them,

The main problem was these dozen or so cultivators all came from the Three Great Influences,

Representing the voice of the Three Great Influences,

Not something these loose cultivators could oppose.

Seeing the crowd yielding, the middle-aged man continued to speak.

"The decision of the Three Great Influences is not to be questioned by anyone, those who spoke up earlier, you can leave now, there will be no quotas for you!"

"You!"

The person who spoke earlier was instantly enraged, but soon calmed down, then left dejectedly.

Satisfied, the middle-aged man continued, this time saying:

"These forty quotas will be decided through competition, and will be given to the victors!"
