88: Ice Crystal Phoenix, Secret Realm Experience

While they might not be able to handle visitors from the Universe, normal questioning was essential.

After a round of questioning, Li Chengfeng was released.

It was just normal questioning; he could leave after being questioned.

"If I'm not mistaken, shouldn't your nephew be in Jianghai City?"

He vaguely remembered that Li Zun's hometown was in Jianghai City.

Li Chengfeng took out a mobile phone and then dialed Li Yao's number.

At this moment, in Jianghai City, at the Yuan Yi Mountain Secret Realm portal.

Li Yao's phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw the caller ID: Li Chengfeng.

"Uncle Li?" Li Yao answered the phone, and Li Chengfeng's voice came from the other end.

"Nephew, are you in Jianghai City right now?"

"Yes, Uncle Li, how did you know?"

If Li Yao remembered correctly, he hadn't told Li Chengfeng that he was in Jianghai City.

"Of course, I guessed. After all, Big Brother's family lives in Jianghai City; I remember that very clearly."

"Nephew, wait for me; I'm heading to Jianghai City right now."

"Uncle Li, have you come to Blue Star?"

"Yes, that's right. I just arrived, and I'm bringing you a small welcome gift."

"Is the staff ready?" Li Yao was a little surprised.

"Of course not yet, what are you thinking? It takes a year and a half to forge a Brilliant Level treasure."

A year and a half wasn't that long for them.

But for Li Yao, it was a bit long.

"That long?"

"Is that considered long?"

"You should know that every treasure above Legendary Level creates phenomena when it's born!"

"It takes others a year and a half to forge a Legendary Level treasure. It's already good if I can get you a Brilliant Level treasure in about a year!"

Li Chengfeng began to seriously explain forging to Li Yao, while also not forgetting to summon his Beast.

"Come out, Bing Jing."

With a thought, a summoning Formation appeared behind him.

It was a huge ice-blue Formation.

A terrifying Beast appeared, covered in snow-white feathers and exuding a Cosmic Level aura!

A Phoenix cry resounded; this was Li Chengfeng's first Beast, the Ice Crystal Phoenix.

"Master."

"Buddy, wait for me; I'm setting up navigation now."

Li Chengfeng glanced at the hundred-meter-tall Ice Crystal Phoenix beside him, then pulled out his phone interface and began connecting to Blue Star's satellite network.

Blue Star's technology was too easy for Li Chengfeng to crack.

He was not only proficient in forging but also in the research of technological power.

In fact, Li Chengfeng himself had a bold idea: to combine the power of technology with forging!

After connecting to Blue Star's satellites, Li Chengfeng jumped onto the Ice Crystal Phoenix.

"Let's go, Bing Jing, follow my command."

A moment later, the hundred-meter-tall Ice Crystal Phoenix soared into the sky, with Li Chengfeng sitting on its back, directing the route.

Wherever it passed, light snow slowly fell due to the Ice Crystal Phoenix's extremely low body temperature.

...

Jianghai City, at the Yuan Yi Mountain Secret Realm portal.

Li Yao hung up the phone, a hint of anticipation on his face.

As a Grandmaster of forging, Li Chengfeng should be very generous.

He just didn't know what level of welcome gift he would receive.

Inside the Secret Realm.

The group of twelve was not randomly assigned as Li Yao had been when he entered the Secret Realm.

Instead, they were uniformly teleported into the safe zone.

When entering the Secret Realm, as long as one carried the designated Secret Realm safe zone badge, they would automatically be teleported into the safe zone.

There was no need to worry about being randomly teleported to the outer regions.

Because Li Yao entered alone, it was fine for him not to have a badge.

"Is this a Secret Realm?"

"After studying for so long in school, this is my first time in a Secret Realm."

Zhang Quandan looked at the safe zone, which resembled a bustling street, and his interest grew considerably.

Zhu Qingtai was also like this; as a student, he had never entered a Secret Realm.

Wang Xiaomei seemed a bit socially anxious. Having never traveled far, this was her first time in a place like a Secret Realm.

Fortunately, Steward Zhang was by her side, and with his care, Xiao Mei's courage grew a little.

As for the remaining eight young people, they had already graduated and were Scholar-Ranked Beast Tamers.

They were Beast Masters who had signed agreements with the Li Corporation. In exchange for receiving resources from the Li Corporation, they were required to maintain the Li Corporation's safety.

At necessary moments, they even had to make sacrifices.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to receive training at all.

Moreover, most of those who could sign agreements had already signed contracts, implying they were the foundation Li Zun was cultivating for Li Yao.

These were all talented young people, but due to lack of money and their Beasts' relatively weak strength, they chose this method.

Otherwise, they would not have signed the so-called agreements and contracts.

"Steward Zhang, will we be entering the inner region for this expedition?"

Steward Zhang glanced at Wang Xiaomei, Zhu Qingtai, and Zhang Quandan, then shook his head.

"It depends on the situation. If conditions permit, we will enter the inner region."

In the Secret Realm, although the danger in the outer region was small, resources were scarcer than in the inner region.

Under normal circumstances, they wouldn't dare to enter the inner region; with only Soldier-level strength, venturing into the inner region would be courting death.

The weakest Beasts in the outer region were Soldier-level, not to mention the General-level exotic Beasts common in the inner region.

"Let's go. We'll probably stay in the Secret Realm for a few days. These next few days will test your wilderness survival skills."

"I won't intervene unless absolutely necessary."

"Yes, Leader Zhang!"

As the leader of this expedition, Steward Zhang was naturally called "Leader."

Soon, the group of twelve stepped beyond the safe zone's boundary and entered the outer region of Yuan Yi Mountain to hunt exotic Beasts and collect evolution Materials.

Outside the Yuan Yi Mountain Secret Realm.

Several people with somewhat strange expressions were submitting their identification and applying to enter the Yuan Yi Mountain Secret Realm.

The soldier responsible for reviewing, checking, and registering was also a bit puzzled.

Especially upon seeing that the person's eyeballs were distinctly separated, he was somewhat stunned.

"Zhou Cansuo, are your eyes alright?"

Zhou Cansuo's expression became a little strange upon hearing this, and his eyeballs immediately returned to normal.

"No problem, it just happens occasionally."

The registering soldier nodded, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, your registration is complete. Go in, next!"

Zhou Cansuo, who had successfully registered, walked towards the Secret Realm without looking back.

However, his legs were somewhat unsteady as he walked...
