35: Thousand-Year Black Iron Sword

Several people saw A Fei pick up a wide and long sword from the ground, its ancient aura washing over them.

"Oh? This sword actually looks like our Dharma swords; it finally doesn't have a strange appearance," Xiao Hongyuan remarked in surprise.

A Fei lifted it up, checked its attributes, and shared them with the others with a smile.

After reading the attributes, A Fei tossed it to Jian Wuxie with a smile.

Jian Wuxie looked at the weapon in his hands in surprise and said bashfully, "What's the meaning of this?"

"The attack power of this sword is nearly double that of my Thunder Rage. Although it's not a Divine Artifact, it's certainly a good weapon," A Fei said with a laugh.

"You're just giving it to me like that?" Jian Wuxie said in disbelief.

"Take it. Aside from you, no one likes using Greatswords. At worst, just compensate everyone with some Spirit Stones like Brother Quan did once we're out," Xiao Hongyuan said with a smile.

"Hehe, that would be a good thing. I have no objection to getting Spirit Stones," A Fei expressed his stance.

Seeing that the others had no objections, Jian Wuxie immediately beamed with joy, clutching the longsword to his chest and stroking it admiringly.

Xiao Hongyuan shook her head with a wry smile at Jian Wuxie's behavior and asked, "Did the Frost Heart drop?"

A Fei nodded, took out a blue gemstone from his backpack, and said, "This is it."

"Great, that means the first trial is completed. Let's go back and find G.S.D," Xiao Hongyuan said happily.

The four of them exited the Dungeon Instance and suddenly saw a familiar figure at the entrance of the Gloomy Forest.

"Holy crap, you merchant! Why did you follow us here?" Jian Wuxie cursed resentfully.

A cloaked figure with a strange jar on his head stood at the entrance of the Secret Realm, shouting to the passing crowd, "Come, come, pick one and see! I wish you a great fortune!"

The jar-headed man turned to look at Jian Wuxie and said, "You've got the wrong person, haven't you? My name is Fire Jar!"

"Bah, you merchant, you still dare to pretend you don't know me?" Fuming with rage, Jian Wuxie was about to step forward and strike.

But Xiao Hongyuan held him back and said, "It seems you really did mistake him. That jar-head was called Earth Jar, and the jar on his head was earthy yellow, while this person's jar is purple."

Hearing this, Fire Jar laughed, "Hehe, the one you met must be my foolish brother."

"No, is everyone in your Family sick in the head? You all like wearing jars on your heads?" Jian Wuxie cursed, speechless.

"You can insult my foolish brother, but you cannot insult our Family's business. Our Family has been selling jars for hundreds of years!" Fire Jar said unhappily.

Seeing Jian Wuxie's skeptical look, Fire Jar sighed and said, "How about this? To compensate you on behalf of my foolish brother, if you go back into the Dungeon Instance and obtain a Token from the Boss, I'll give you a jar for free. What do you think?"

Hearing Fire Jar say this, Jian Wuxie immediately asked, "Are you serious?"

"Hehe, of course I'm serious, but there's only one chance per Boss," Fire Jar said with a smile.

Jian Wuxie laughed loudly, "Haha, alright, it's a deal then."

After bidding farewell to Fire Jar, except for Quan Wudi who went to find Pung Jin, the remaining three went to G.S.D and handed him the Frost Heart.

G.S.D looked at the Frost Heart in his hand and smiled, "Well done, young adventurers."

"Senior, we have completed this trial. I wonder what the next trial is?" Xiao Hongyuan asked directly.

"Your strength has impressed me; I didn't expect you to defeat Klahe so quickly. In that case, I suppose it's time for the next Boss, Minotaur King Sauta, to face your challenge."

"Next, go to the Grakka Dungeon Instance, defeat him, and bring back his horn. That will be your second trial," G.S.D said softly.

The three accepted the quest, went to Pung Jin's place to find Quan Wudi, and explained the details of the second trial.

Before Quan Wudi could speak, Pung Jin spoke up first, "This trial will be quite a challenge for you. As expected of G.S.D, his judgment is indeed excellent."

"Quan Wudi, since that's the case, your next trial will be the same. Continue following them," Pung Jin said to Quan Wudi with a wave of his hand.

The four of them discussed it and decided to continue tomorrow, exiting the Dungeon Instance to rest for now.

As soon as they stepped out of the Dungeon Instance, they were startled by the massive crowd before them.

Lin Chuan, along with his two young disciples and even the Grand Elder, were at the entrance of the Secret Realm, looking at the crowd with smiles on their faces.

Xiao Hongyuan and the others pushed through the crowded throng to reach Lin Chuan's side and asked with surprise, "Little Brother Lin, what's going on?"

Lin Chuan looked at them and smiled, "Hehe, from today onwards, this Secret Realm is open to the entire Southern Border."

Jian Wuxie looked at the crowd upon hearing this. Not only were there many Loose Cultivators with no markings on them, but there were even many Mortals without a hint of spiritual power fluctuations joining in the excitement.

He curled his lip and said, "Brother Lin, can even Mortals participate? If they die, do they have Spirit Stones to resurrect?"

"Hehe, what's wrong with Mortals? Of course they can participate. Although they don't have Spirit Stones, the more people who participate, the more output there will be in the Dungeon Instance, right?" Lin Chuan said with a smile.

"Besides, even if they can't learn skills when they enter the Dungeon Instance, they can sell the Gold Coins and equipment they find to you to earn quite a few Spirit Stones, which can help them make a living, can't it?"

"In the future, if you need something, you'll only need to spend some Spirit Stones to easily obtain it. It's a good thing for you too."

After hearing Lin Chuan's explanation, Jian Wuxie said in realization, "That's true. In the future, if I'm short on gold for reinforcing weapons or need to change equipment, I can just pay with Spirit Stones. It really is much more convenient."

"Hehe, Little Brother Lin, your business sense is surprisingly good," Xiao Hongyuan praised.

As they were speaking, a young man dressed elegantly arrived with a group of burly men. He bowed to Lin Chuan and asked, "May I ask if you are the manager of this Secret Realm?"

While Lin Chuan was looking at the young man in confusion, Xiao Hongyuan spoke up first, "Are you from the Imperial Family?"

Only then did the Second Prince look at Jian Wuxie and the others. He said in shock, "You are the Saintess of the Divine Sword Sect, Lady Xiao Hongyuan?"

"Hehe, you still recognize me?" Xiao Hongyuan chuckled.

Looking at the exquisite Xiao Hongyuan, the Second Prince quickly lowered his head and bowed with great poise, "I had the honor of seeing you once at the banquet when my Imperial Father ascended the throne."

"Is your Imperial Family here to participate in the Secret Realm as well?" Xiao Hongyuan asked.

"I'm ashamed to say, we also happened to get the news and wanted to come have a look," the Second Prince replied.
