178: Chapter 178 Bought a Spot and a Map

Three people came at once wanting to sell their quotas.

And these three people were all Cultivators from the Hidden Family, the Li Family.

That’s right, immediately after Li Changqing had sold his quota, three more people stepped forward to sell theirs.

In total, only five people from the Li Family came to participate in the Righteous and Demonic Grand Competition, and four of them actually sold their quotas!

Only Li Changan was left to enter the Secret Realm to search for soul stones.

The Righteous Path and the Demonic Path both looked at the Li Family's flying boat with great disbelief.

No one came out to stop them?

There really wasn't anyone!

The Li Family's leader was already beside Luo Yunkai; who would dare to intervene?

As for the Li Family being left with only one seedling to enter the Secret Realm, unable to stand alone?

Hmph, did they really think that the brothers who established the Li Family were nonexistent?

The Li Family's scheme was calculated to be the most precise!

But, three people?

Luo Yunkai only had two sons who could potentially enter the Secret Realm.

Jin Fugui and Yan Huo.

Surely, he wouldn't let Bai Ji, who was still a mere spirit, enter the Soul Stone Secret Realm too?

Luo Yunkai feared that Bai Ji would be directly absorbed by the Soul Stone Secret Realm.

But the Li Family didn't know that!

They only thought that Luo Yunkai would treat everyone equally. Knowing about the existence of Yan Huo and Jin Fugui, and seeing Bai Ji who was still a spirit, they naturally assumed that these remaining three sons were definitely going into the Secret Realm.

Good things shouldn't go to outsiders, right!

The Li Family members looked at Luo Yunkai happily and expectantly.

Luo Yunkai thought for a moment, then his gaze shifted—that extra quota now had a destination.

"Little Yan, bring Fugui over."

Yan Huo's eyes lit up. He snatched the wheelchair, ignited fire beneath his feet, and dragged a long crimson fiery tail across the sky.

Linglong looked at her empty hands in astonishment, then her Face suddenly changed, "Xiaobao!"

She looked somewhat uncertain; could it be that Father was going to let Xiaobao enter the Secret Realm too?

Luo Yunkai really didn't have that thought. Spatial teleportation was something that Xiaobao's mortal body, which hadn't Cultivated yet, could not withstand.

He scooped up Luo Xiaobao from Jin Fugui's lap. The little fellow clung to him sticky-sweetly, rubbing his tender little Face against Luo Yunkai's.

"Grandpa~"

Luo Yunkai's gaze softened. Supporting the little fellow's bottom, he raised his hand and tossed two Storage Pouches to Yan Huo and Jin Fugui, respectively.

Jin Fugui hesitated slightly. He currently...

"It's fine. You won't be separated inside the Soul Stone Secret Realm. They will protect you."

Hearing this, Jin Fugui no longer hesitated.

The two Li Family members happily took the Spirit Stones, while the remaining one stared longingly at Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai turned his gaze to Zhong Jiang, "Young Friend Zhong, take this."

A Storage Pouch filled with Spirit Stones landed in his hand.

Zhong Jiang's eyes widened, somewhat unable to believe his guess. "I already transferred my quota..."

"Mm, I know. This is to buy a quota for you."

Luo Yunkai smiled faintly. "Consider it a thank-you gift for letting me know that the Soul Stone Secret Realm quotas can be transferred."

The remaining Li Family member immediately flew in front of Zhong Jiang, smiling cheerfully, "Fellow Daoist Zhong, I am willing to sell my quota."

Zhong Jiang looked at the Li Family Cultivator who was very nervous, fearing he might suddenly refuse to buy it, and envy flashed in his eyes.

How could he not know that the thanks was fake? The real intention was to use his hand to buy this Li Family Cultivator's quota.

Zhong Jiang handed the Storage Pouch, which he hadn't even managed to warm up yet, to the man, ignoring the telepathic message from his cousin.

Zhong Ziqi's expression was extremely grim.

Wasn't Zhong Jiang truly Luo Yunkai's son?

Why was he treating this bastard Zhong Jiang so well?

Yun Shang noticed the flickering uncertainty in Zhong Ziqi's eyes and, fearing his Disciple would do something foolish, quickly sent a telepathic message.

"Zhong Jiang cannot possibly be Luo Yunkai's Bloodline. Xiao Tian used Bloodline Sensing earlier and there was no reaction towards Zhong Jiang."

"Ziqi, Luo Yunkai is just showing respect to the Li Family. Zhong Jiang was just lucky enough to be chosen."

"When entering the Secret Realm, do not get entangled with him. Remember your mission! The future of the Yun Shang Sect rests on you!"

Zhong Ziqi closed his eyes, no longer paying attention to Zhong Jiang.

Zhong Jiang felt the piercing gaze from his cousin shift away and breathed a sigh of relief.

Suddenly, his spine stiffened again.

"Zhong Jiang, since you have this Opportunity to enter the Secret Realm, you must watch out for and protect Ziqi!"

Zhong Jiang silently agreed.

...

"Luo Yunkai, you have obtained the Secret Realm quota you wanted. Can you release my Thousand Souls Sect Disciples now!"

Ancestor Qian Hun, who had been patient for a long time, finally spoke.

On one hand, he didn't want others to see how much he cared about Yin Yue. On the other hand, he was worried that she wouldn't be the first to enter the Soul Stone Secret Realm, which might reveal clues to others.

He waited this long, acting as if Yin Yue's life or death didn't matter, only speaking up to save his own Face.

Little did he know, such abnormal behavior only aroused more suspicion.

Luo Yunkai glanced meaningfully at Ancestor Qian Hun and chuckled, "Of course."

Just as he was about to let go, he suddenly retracted his hand. Ancestor Qian Hun's Face turned green upon seeing this.

Luo Yunkai said slowly, "Alas, all my sons are entering the Soul Stone Secret Realm for the first time. They know nothing about the Secret Realm. I, as their father, worry sleeplessly, afraid they might perish inside."

The surrounding Cultivators twitched their mouths, looking at Chen Xuanfeng and the others, wondering who exactly was losing sleep!

Ancestor Qian Hun's entire body was shrouded in his black robe, preventing anyone from seeing his expression.

But just by hearing his increasingly sinister tone, one could tell his mood was far from pleasant.

"I will give you the Secret Realm map."

Luo Yunkai's eyes brightened. "Thank you. It would be best if the map marked where the resources are abundant and where the dangers lie within the Secret Realm."

Ancestor Qian Hun stared deeply at Luo Yunkai.

Luo Yunkai shook Yin Yue, looking troubled. "The Thousand Souls Sect doesn't have a detailed map either? Alas, I must be asking too much."

He stepped aside, opening the large door, but still held onto Yin Yue's shoulder. "You all go in first..."

"We have one!"

Ancestor Qian Hun raised his hand, and a yellowish-brown map shot towards Luo Yunkai like a hidden weapon.

The Thousand Souls Sect Disciples who were planning to bypass Luo Yunkai and enter the Soul Stone Secret Realm all immediately retreated, daring not to act rashly.

Luo Yunkai raised his hand. Five-colored spiritual light flowed around it, easily neutralizing the power carried by the map.

He handed the map to Xiao Tian, then looked at the people from other factions with a smile.

"Buying Secret Realm maps in bulk! Ten thousand Spirit Stones per map."

Luo Yunkai now possessed a copy of every faction's map.

Only Ancestor Qian Hun had given his away for free!

After obtaining the map, Luo Yunkai also tested what he wanted. Without needing Ancestor Qian Hun to speak, he pushed his hand out, and Yin Yue appeared inside the Soul Stone Secret Realm gate.

Luo Yunkai's action was sudden, and Yin Yue was completely unprepared, so she was not teleported away.

As expected!

Ancestor Qian Hun's brow jumped fiercely.

Fortunately, in the next instant, Yin Yue's figure vanished.

Following that, the impatient Thousand Souls Sect Disciples stepped through the Soul Stone Secret Realm gate.

They were instantly teleported away.

The delay seemed to only affect the first person.

Luo Yunkai smiled enigmatically, grabbed with his big hand, and pulled Xuan Ming and the others to the Soul Stone Secret Realm gate.

"Once you enter, capture that female Cultivator immediately!"

Luo Yunkai transmitted this message to his sons.

Then, with a gentle push, they entered behind the gate and were teleported into the Secret Realm.

Ancestor Qian Hun felt a bad premonition rising. "You..."

Luo Yunkai raised an eyebrow, acting as if nothing was wrong. "Just cutting in line. Is that not allowed? It won't happen next time."

Ancestor Qian Hun's words were choked in his throat.

The Righteous Path Cultivators exchanged glances and all made a move, grabbing their respective juniors and throwing them past the Thousand Souls Sect Disciples into the Soul Stone Secret Realm.

Ancestor Hundred Insects saw this and suddenly felt that if he was slower, he would suffer a huge loss. Immediately, the skin on his body cracked, and flying insects poured out, sweeping up the Hundred Insect Sect Disciples and throwing them into the Soul Stone Secret Realm.

Ancestor Qian Hun laughed in anger. "I would like to see just how many soul stones you can gather by entering the Secret Realm first this time!"
