33: Go to the Chuyuan Secret Realm
Lu Xingchen was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to say.
He could understand Lin Wanqing's thoughts, but he didn't know how to comfort her.
With the System, the gap between him and Lin Wanqing was bound to grow wider and wider.
Lin Wanqing smiled again: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Do you have any wine?"
Lu Xingchen chuckled: "Of course I do."
"Then I'll drink a few cups with you today."
The two drank wine, ate meat, and chatted, enjoying a pleasant day.
Lu Xingchen was only slightly tipsy, but Lin Wanqing was completely drunk.
He could only carry Lin Wanqing to her room.
At the same time, on the other side of the Sunset Forest.
Within the Five Elements Sect, Sect Master Gu Yuan sat in the main seat, and below him stood the three Saints of the Five Elements Sect.
Gu Yuan's deep voice echoed in the room.
"The Lingxiao Sect's Saint selection competition has concluded, and the new Saint is Lu Xingchen."
Hearing this, the three people below were all somewhat surprised.
"Lu Xingchen? I haven't heard of him! Hu Junfeng was just pushed out like that?"
"Hu Junfeng was already difficult enough to deal with, and now someone even more formidable has appeared."
"The Lingxiao Sect's news blockade is very effective; such a powerful figure is only being announced now."
Gu Yuan continued: "This trip to the Chuyuan Secret Realm is very important. It is said that this Secret Realm is an Immortal Cave left by a Martial Spirit Realm Expert, and it contains the secret to advancing to Martial Spirit. No matter what, you must win!"
Qin Hao, the leading Saint of the Five Elements Sect, replied: "Don't worry, Sect Master. A mere Hu Junfeng, I don't even put him in my eyes; I've long wanted to spar with him."
Another Saint, Jiang Qing, laughed: "I wonder how many Chief Disciples the Sect Master wants the Lingxiao Sect to lose this time?"
Gu Yuan said indifferently: "I don't care about that. You just remember to kill Lin Jing. She will also enter the Chuyuan Secret Realm this time. This woman has already killed hundreds of our Disciples in the past year!"
"Yes, sir!" the five said in unison.
For the next five days, Lu Xingchen locked himself in the alchemy room, fully refining rejuvenation pills.
The trip to the Chuyuan Secret Realm was bound to be full of dangers, and rejuvenation pills could be of great use at critical moments.
Five days later, Lu Xingchen walked towards the Lingxiao Sect's Plaza.
The other six Chief Disciples were already waiting there.
"Greetings, Saint!"
Seeing Lu Xingchen approach, the other six Chief Disciples all greeted him.
Lu Xingchen smiled faintly: "I was lucky enough to defeat Senior Sister Lin Jing and obtain the position of Saint. Everyone must follow my command during the upcoming trip to the Chuyuan Secret Realm. Let's first exchange our Realms and abilities!"
"Lu Xingchen, Chief Disciple of Little Bamboo Peak, Six-Star Martial Master, proficient in swordsmanship and Archery Skill."
Hearing this, everyone was a little emotional.
A Six-Star Martial Master can suppress a Ten-Star Martial Master; what would happen after a longer period of Cultivation?
"Hu Junfeng, Chief Disciple of Spirit Sword Peak, Ten-Star Martial Master, proficient in swordsmanship."
"Ning Feng, Chief Disciple of Tongtian Peak, Nine-Star Martial Master, proficient in saber techniques."
"Gu Zheng, Chief Disciple of Wind Returning Peak, Nine-Star Martial Master, proficient in swordsmanship."
"Tao Ran, Chief Disciple of Chaoyang Peak, Eight-Star Martial Master, proficient in saber techniques."
"Li Qin, Chief Disciple of Luoxia Peak, Seven-Star Martial Master, proficient in Archery Skill."
"Lin Jing, Chief Disciple of Great Bamboo Peak, Ten-Star Martial Master, proficient in swordsmanship."
Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.
Such a lineup was quite formidable.
It could be said that below the Great Martial Master, no one could be a match for the seven of them.
It was just unknown how strong the Disciples of the other four great Sects were.
Lu Xingchen checked his attribute panel again.
Host: Lu Xingchen
Realm: Six-Star Martial Master
Experience: 200 / 700
exchange points: 520
Talents: Eagle Eye (20), Strong Strike (20), Berserk (36), Blade Edge (30), Jade Shatter (50)
Profession: Second-Grade Alchemist (500 / 1000)
Mount: Nether Dragon (Tier 2)
It's barely enough!
A quarter of an hour later, Lu Xingchen finally met the Sect Master of Lingxiao Sect—Lin Tian.
Lin Tian was a thin, middle-aged man who looked gentle and harmless.
But when Lu Xingchen looked at the top of his head, there were only "???".
One must know that even for Yi Hong, the strongest among the Seven Peak Masters, Lu Xingchen could discern his cultivation, a Six-Star Great Martial Master.
However, above Lin Tian's head, there were only three question marks.
This indicated that Lin Tian's cultivation was far stronger than Yi Hong's!
It was just unknown whether he had broken through that barrier or not.
"Greetings, Sect Master!"
Lu Xingchen and the other six Chief Disciples bowed together.
Lin Tian nodded slightly and smiled: "Young people, seeing you all so powerful, I, Lin Tian, am quite pleased. You are the future of the Lingxiao Sect."
After saying that, Lin Tian turned to look at Lu Xingchen again.
"Especially you, Lu Xingchen. I've heard your story. To reach this point as a new Disciple, you've gone through a lot."
Lu Xingchen chuckled: "It was just luck."
Lin Tian took out an umbrella from his Storage Ring and handed it to Lu Xingchen.
"This is my personal Spiritual Artifact, the hunyuan umbrella. It can trap enemies when attacking and defend oneself when retreating. I am lending it to you temporarily now, hoping you can lead everyone to achieve good results."
Lu Xingchen took the hunyuan umbrella and sensed it. It was actually a profound grade high-rank Spiritual Artifact!
That's right, how could the Sect Master's personal Spiritual Artifact be weak?
Lu Xingchen nodded heavily: "Thank you, Sect Master. I will definitely bring every Disciple back safely!"
Lin Tian nodded slightly.
"Since that's the case, let's head to the Chuyuan Secret Realm!"
Lin Tian waved his sleeve and led the way out of the Sect.
The Seven Peak Masters and Chief Disciples followed closely behind.
On the way to the depths of the Sunset Forest, everyone encountered a large number of Yao Beasts.
But all the Seven Peak Masters, except Lin Qingzhu, were Great Martial Master Realm experts, so they had nothing to fear.
They went straight, instantly killing any Yao Beasts they encountered along the way with extreme speed.
Lin Tian never made a move, and Lu Xingchen was still unable to discern his cultivation.
An hour later, everyone arrived before the Chuyuan Secret Realm.
The entire Secret Realm was shrouded in a cloud of mist, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Lu Xingchen also saw the people from the other four great Sects, all of whom were imposing and remarkably strong.
Lin Tian said in a deep voice: "Young people, we can only see you off here. The rest of the journey you must walk yourselves! During this time, I and the Seven Peak Masters will guard outside the Secret Realm until you return safely."
Lu Xingchen nodded heavily: "Since that's the case, then Sect Master, we'll go in first!"
Lu Xingchen was the first to walk towards the Secret Realm, followed closely by the other six Chief Disciples.
As the Lingxiao Sect Disciples moved, the Disciples from the other four Sects also rushed forward.
Lu Xingchen stepped into the mist of the Secret Realm and immediately felt a dizzying sensation, like being on a roller coaster.
The surrounding scenery also constantly changed, like a spilled palette.
After five breaths, Lu Xingchen crashed heavily onto the ground.
