The mortal self is the spiritual root of heaven

Chapter 56 Entering the Secret Realm for the First Time
The middle-aged man in Jinyi waved his hand towards the jade pendant and was about to take it in his hand.

As soon as he stretched his hand halfway, he was stopped by Zhou Xun.

"Master Chen, it's better for me to hold this jade pendant. If you run away with it, I won't be able to keep up with the speed of the fake elixir monk." Zhou Xun looked at the middle-aged man in brocade with an expressionless expression and said coldly.

The middle-aged Jinyi withdrew his hand with an awkward smile and said:
"Where is it? Fellow Taoist Tian will hold this jade pendant."

But he secretly murmured in his heart that Tian Changsheng was young, but he was very thoughtful.

The two of them left Tianxing Zongfang City and came to an open space five miles away.

Zhou Xun summoned the Shoebill Stork, turned over and sat on it.Fly in the direction indicated by the arrow.

The middle-aged man in Jinyi took out a fusiform magic weapon, all silver in color, which turned out to be the best flying magic weapon.But I saw him standing on the shuttle, flying in the air, looking quite cool.

The two stopped to rest every three days and flew for nearly twenty days.Arriving in front of a barren mountain, the arrow suddenly disappeared.

"Master Chen, this is the place where you entered the secret realm back then," Zhou Xun asked.

The middle-aged man in Jinyi stopped in the air, glanced around a few times, lowered his head and thought for a while, then shook his head.There was a solemn look on his face.

“Not the same place I entered last time”

Zhou Xun thought about it and figured it out.

If it was the same place every time, it would have been cordoned off long ago.As long as you time it well to ambush here, this secret realm will already be in the possession of a certain force.It was his turn and the head of the Chen family to explore now.

Suddenly, the jade pendant in his hand burst out with great force for no apparent reason, and rushed outward.Zhou Xun couldn't help but loosen his grip and let go of the jade pendant.

I saw the two jade pendants flying into the air, and the red light burst out, getting brighter and brighter, making people afraid to look directly.

After a while, the red light began to converge, and a portal appeared under the light.

Then the two jade pendants flew above the two people's heads, and the red light emitted formed a light shield, wrapping the two people inside.

Then the light shield slowly moved towards the portal, gradually disappearing into it.Not long after, the portal also disappeared.It's like nothing ever happened here.

Doors appeared in the sky everywhere inside the secret realm, and then red balls flew out of the doors and slowly fell to the ground. Then the doors and balls slowly disappeared, revealing the people inside.

After Zhou Xun was wrapped by the light mask, he felt that he began to move involuntarily. After entering the door, he felt the world spinning. After about a stick of incense, his feet suddenly felt like they were touching the ground.

It took me a while to get used to it, and then I gradually recovered.

The place they were on was a hillside. Except here, all they could see were several people hugging each other and towering trees dozens of feet high.

Zhou Xun glanced at the middle-aged man in Jinyi and saw that he also looked confused.So he asked:
"Don't you know this place?"

The middle-aged man in Jinyi let out a long sigh, looked at this strange place, and said:

"The place where I landed last time was a valley, and the trees there were only ten feet tall. But looking at this place, you can see trees tens of feet high. It's obviously not the same place."

Could it be that the location he enters is random every time, Zhou Xun thought to himself.But that's fine, because middle-aged Jinyi can't use his familiarity with the environment to harm himself.

However, we cannot rule out the possibility that middle-aged Jinyi deliberately pretended not to know, in order to lower his defensive mentality.

"Then what do you think?" Zhou Xun said as he looked at the jade pendant floating in the air, took it off and put it in his hand.

"Follow the arrow of the jade pendant." The middle-aged man pointed at Zhou Xun's hand.Looking down, sure enough, the arrow reappeared.So he nodded and agreed to the middle-aged man's proposal.

Looking at the bottomless jungle in front of him, he patted his storage bag and took out a golden shield charm, which inspired him.Suddenly, a golden translucent light mask enveloped it.

Zhou Xun took a look, nodded with satisfaction, and clasped a few mid-level talismans in his hands.Then he faced the middle-aged man in Jinyi and said:

"I'll open the way. You cut off the rear"

The middle-aged man in Jinyi responded, and then took out a defensive talisman and activated himself to protect himself.

So Zhou Xun walked in front, holding a jade pendant in one hand and a talisman in the other, and walked forward, while the middle-aged man in Jinyi followed Zhou Xun and looked around him warily.

Not long after walking, Zhou Xun discovered several half-foot-tall herbs growing about ten feet away in front of him. They were emerald green and had some blue thread-like stripes on their leaves.

It is the main ingredient for refining the Broken Mirror Pill, Blue Spirit Grass.

Zhou Xun was extremely happy because this was the first time he had discovered a magical medicine in the wild since he came to this world.An unprecedented first time.

At the same time, you can’t help but be amazed by the richness here.In Tiannan, since he established the foundation, he has also gone to many places outside.Not even a single elixir was found.

So he walked forward quickly, walked to the blue grass, and reached out to pick it.

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​wait!" Jinyi's middle-aged voice interrupted Zhou Xun's movements.

Just when Zhou Xun was about to turn around and ask why, a burst of black light hit him, and a smelly black wind caused the few blue spirit grasses to sway.

Fortunately, Zhou Xun reacted quickly and quickly stepped aside.Dodged the blow.Taking a closer look, it turned out to be a black snake about three feet long.

Although it is small in size, it is still a high-level monster.

Zhou Xun was angry in his heart. He was a dignified foundation-building monk and almost fell into the trap of this thing.He was also noticed by the middle-aged man in brocade clothes.He may not know how to laugh at himself at this time.

So he patted the storage bag, and the "Red Xuan Sword" there was activated.Holding a sharp sword, he slashed the black snake into several pieces with three strokes.Then a fireball burned it to cinders.

At this time, the middle-aged man in golden clothes came over and said with a smile:

"Fellow Daoist Tian, ​​I forgot to tell you. There are a lot of poisonous insects and monsters in the secret realm here. Wherever there is a magical medicine, there must be strange beasts. So be careful."

"Really, what Patriarch Chen just reminded you was really timely! The poisonous snake screamed when it attacked. Those who didn't know thought you were helping it," Zhou Xun said coldly.

The middle-aged man in Jinyi had no good intentions just now. His shout just now attracted his attention. If he hadn't been quick to react, he would have been hit by the poisonous snake.

Although he activated the Golden Shield Talisman, who knows if the poisonous snake has a unique ability that can penetrate the light barrier?Then wouldn't it be a disaster for him?

When the middle-aged man in Jinyi heard this, he waved his hands and said:

"You have wronged me. How can a mere first-level monster threaten fellow Taoists? I just want to remind you."

Zhou Xun only glanced at him without saying anything. He walked straight to the blue spirit grass and picked them all, even the seedlings.Then put it into the storage bag.

Then, the two continued to move forward.
