173: I rely on the crowd to make a living!

“What’s inside the Secret Realm?”

Liu Tang shook his head, “I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Xu Sanyan was surprised. After so many times, he still didn’t know?

Liu Tang explained, “Because it’s different every time. Last time it was an ancient battlefield, the time before that it was corpse demons. There’s no pattern to the Secret Realm, and it will also form different Secret Realms based on different Cultivation levels.”

“You mean…different Cultivation levels won’t appear in the same Secret Realm?”

“That’s right. It’s currently known that Foundation Establishment Realm and below are in one Secret Realm, Foundation Establishment Realm and Mystic Path Realm are in one Secret Realm, Soul Refinement Realm and Void Harmonization Realm are in one Secret Realm, and Saints have their own separate Secret Realm.”

“This Secret Realm was originally created by Yaotian Holy Sect to temper its Disciples. Although it’s dangerous, it won’t put them in a certain death situation. If a Foundation Establishment Realm Cultivator is sent into a Soul Refinement Realm Secret Realm, they will certainly not escape death. Conversely, it would lose the purpose of tempering.”

Xu Sanyan pondered for a moment and then asked a series of questions: “Are many people going? Why go? What can be gained?”

Liu Tang answered one by one, “A great many people are going. The Five Great Sects, as well as other medium and small Sects, and major aristocratic families will all send people. As for what can be gained…”

Liu Tang shook his head, “It’s also uncertain. The treasures in different Secret Realms are also different, but the last time the Secret Realm opened, someone obtained a heaven and earth treasure from it!”

“There’s a heaven and earth treasure in the Secret Realm?” Xu Sanyan was deeply surprised. Such a supreme treasure could be obtained?

“Hmm, Saint, do you know whose hands that heaven and earth treasure fell into?” Liu Tang kept him in suspense.

“Who?”

“Venerable He Yu. The heaven and earth treasure Tu Wanshan used for his Foundation Establishment was obtained from there.”

So the heaven and earth treasure Tu Wanshan used for his Foundation Establishment was given to him by his father.

Suddenly, Xu Sanyan remembered that Venerable He Yu had mentioned last time that he wanted to discuss something with everyone. Could it be this matter?

The more he thought about it, the more likely it seemed. At such a grand event, Tongxin Demon Sect definitely wouldn’t be absent.

Xu Sanyan lowered his head in thought, “Last time the Secret Realm opened, how many people did Red Dragon Mountain send?”

“Fewer than twenty people. Because the Palace Master wasn’t interested, Elder Elder Wu led the team, and only Soul Refining Realm Elders went. I also went.”

Xu Sanyan nodded lightly.

Liu Tang suggested, “Saint, you should prepare early. Anything can happen in the Secret Realm. A single misstep can easily lead to a life-or-death crisis. You should bring as many people as possible.”

Xu Sanyan nodded. Of course, he needed to bring enough people. Red Dragon Mountain was basically his one-man show now. If he could, he wished he could move the entire mountain over.

“Call Elder Qin over,” Xu Sanyan said to Zhu'er, turning his head.

“Yes.”

“Wait, call all the Mystic Path Realm Elders over.” Xu Sanyan clenched his fist fiercely. If he was going to do it, he’d do it big!

Since Foundation Establishment Realm and Mystic Path Realm were in the same Secret Realm, that made things easier. Xu Sanyan didn’t lack anything else, just people!

What did he rely on to get by?

Many people!

Lots of money!

He had never fought such a rich battle in his life.

Liu Tang showed a relieved smile, “Saint is wise.”

His purpose in coming here was to persuade the Saint to bring more people, and not to rely on individual bravery. Since he could crush them with sheer numbers, why not?

What’s the use of being powerful? Even if you’re invincible in the same realm and your techniques are profound, I have more people!

If you can fight ten?

Then I’ll send a thousand!

Xu Sanyan stood up, patted Liu Tang’s shoulder, and said with satisfaction, “Having Elder Liu assist me truly saves me a lot of worry. I’ll credit you for this. Later, have Shuzhi come to my side; I’ll personally instruct him in Cultivation.”

Liu Tang was overjoyed. He cupped his hands and bowed deeply, “Thank you, Saint!”

He was not surprised that Xu Sanyan could teach his son Cultivation, but rather by this attitude.

This proved that both he and his son would become the Saint’s confidants. Even if his own time was up and he returned to the heavens, his son would have a powerful backer.

“No need to thank me, this is what you deserve. Go and prepare. Prepare more Formations, Medicinal Pills, and single-use powerful Magic Treasures.”

Xu Sanyan thought for a moment, “Last time I saw Luo Yu’s Dragon Capturing Net, it was pretty good. Prepare ten of those first. For other things, you decide what to prepare, the more the better.”

“Saint, rest assured, this old man will do his utmost.”

Liu Tang cupped his hands and excused himself. The prosperity and wealth of both him and his son depended on Xu Sanyan, so he naturally had to do his utmost.

After Liu Tang left, Qin Manyang arrived with a group of Elders, “Greetings, Saint.”

Xu Sanyan rubbed the corner of his eyes, lifted his eyelids, and scanned the group, counting silently. There were only sixty-three people.

“Why so few?”

Xu Sanyan frowned. There shouldn’t be so few Mystic Path Realm Elders.

Qin Manyang cupped her hands and said, “Reporting to Saint, many Elders are out on missions, and some have gone down the mountain for various trivial matters and haven’t returned. For now, there are only this many on the mountain.”

“Call them all back. They must return to the mountain within ten days.”

“Yes.”

Xu Sanyan pointed to the left, “Mystic Path Realm Perfection stand here, intermediate doesn’t need to move, and initial stand on the right.”

The Elders below positioned themselves: seventeen at Perfection, thirty-one at intermediate, and fifteen at initial.

“The Hundred Saints Secret Realm is about to open. This time, all of you will accompany me. This Saint always rewards those who contribute. If anyone makes a great contribution this time, whether it’s Spirit Stones, Magic Treasures, Medicinal Pills, or Cultivation Techniques, as long as I have it, you can ask for it freely!”

“Thank you, Saint!”

A hint of excitement flickered in the eyes of the Elders, but they weren’t overly agitated. After all, they were all quite old and could control their expressions, not showing their joy or anger easily.

Xu Sanyan scanned everyone, “All of you go and prepare. For the Elders who didn’t come today, Elder Qin will be responsible for notifying them. Later, record what each Elder is good at and send it to me.”

“Yes!”

Watching everyone leave, Xu Sanyan sat on the chair with his legs crossed, leaning back, deep in thought.

Xiang Tan walked out from the shadows, stood behind him, and extended her slender fingers to gently massage Xu Sanyan’s shoulders.

“Senior Brother shouldn’t overwork himself.”

Xu Sanyan patted her small hand and teased, “Which aspect are you referring to?”

Xiang Tan’s small hand paused, and she lowered her gaze slightly, “…Both aspects.”

“Call Lin Fan over.”

“Yes.”

Not long after, Lin Fan knelt on one knee, “Disciple greets Saint.”

Xu Sanyan opened his eyes, a sharp glint flashing in their depths. Lin Fan’s Cultivation was exposed without reservation.

Lin Fan dared not look up, but he knew the Saint was looking at him. That ubiquitous, profound gaze almost completely enveloped him, as if his inner thoughts were being seen through.

He couldn’t help but feel his heart in his throat. Could it be… his secret had been exposed?

No… no!

Lin Fan secretly shook his head. It was impossible for it to be exposed. If it were, the Saint would definitely be unable to resist taking it. No one could refuse the temptation of such a treasure, not even the Saint.

Lin Fan knew deeply that the human heart was unpredictable and even less testable. Although the Saint had a good impression in his heart, it was only a good impression.

Time passed bit by bit. He remained silent for a long time, and Lin Fan dared not make any unnecessary movements.
