When Du Fan heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved. This Supreme Elder of the Netherworld Sect is a powerful man in the ghost realm. He naturally has extraordinary responses to the Yin Ghost Land. Even the other party was surprised. Could it be that this big lake is really extraordinary?

"Master Wei, you are finally here." With a peaceful voice, a young man came, about thirty years old, gentle and smiling, but his cultivation was really not low. He was already in the late stage of the martial arts, and he was much taller than Master Wei.

"It turns out that this time Brother Fengnian led the team to explore the secret realm, which surprised me a little." When Master Wei saw the visitor, he was slightly stunned and suddenly smiled. This young man was a senior elder of the Murong family, and the two had a good relationship.

Later, the owner of the Wei Manor explained: "Compared with other forces, our Weiyuan Villa is far away from this place, which may have delayed some time, and I hope it will not be a big deal."

"It's okay, other colleagues came one after another half a day ago, and it didn't delay anything." The young man smiled faintly.

Immediately afterwards, several figures walked out, all of whom were the master-level warriors of various forces standing together and chatting.

Just as these people were greeting each other, Du Fan's spiritual thoughts dissipated and he looked around.

He has already had nine forces here, and the largest number of them must be the Murong family, with fifteen people.

However, what surprised him was that there was only one cultivator in the Murong family, which was a gray old man. His cultivation was not high and he had just entered the Great Perfection of Qi Refining Period.

The remaining eight forces should be like Weiyuan Villa, and they are affiliated with the Murong family. There are not many people in each force, with eight or nine people in them. Among them, the majority are cultivators, and they are all foundation-building powerhouses. Overall, there are more than 30 cultivators here.

Through the conversation between those martial arts people, Du Fan learned that the exploration of this secret realm is not a big deal for the huge Murong family. Only a small number of people in the family are concerned about it. As for the virtuous ancestors in the Murong family, they can't even raise their interest in asking a question.

So this time, no powerful Jindan cultivator came forward, because the number of Jindan cultivators in the martial arts domain is extremely rare.

Even if a giant like the Murong family gathers up some powerful golden elixirs for their own use, they will not be sent out casually. Unless it is a family-level important matter, they will promise a large amount of cultivation resources. If this group of people is just a small secret realm, it is a bit unreasonable.

Du Fan also understood the resource allocation issue in the secret realm from the conversations between the warriors. Needless to say, the Murong family will definitely take the big head of the harvest, and the amount of harvest that each subordinate force has depends to a certain extent on the cultivators under the sect.

First, there will not be too many cultivators entering the secret realm this time, and each force may not be able to occupy one. Any cultivator who has obtained the qualification to enter the secret realm will have more benefits. If the cultivator makes outstanding contributions in the secret realm, he will also increase the distribution of harvest to the subordinate forces based on the size of the merit.

After learning about this, Du Fan immediately felt relieved. He was not in conflict with such mutually beneficial things. If he only got the benefits himself and the other party had nothing, he was worried that he might run away directly before entering the secret realm.

After a cup of tea, a dazzling red light came in the sky, and eight people walked out of it, three master-level warriors and five foundation-building monks. These eight people came from Qingfeng Village and were also a vassal force of the Murong family.

"Okay, you guys come from afar, and you won't waste your time. Since everyone has arrived, let's discuss the candidates for entering the secret realm." Murong Fengnian stood in the middle, spoke gently, and spoke loudly.

"We and the warriors should have no objection. As mentioned earlier, the Murong Shang tribe dispatched twelve people, and two other forces each gave birth to them." said a martial artist from an affiliated force.

"This is no problem. As for the candidate for cultivator, you might as well listen to Master Ku's advice first." Murong Fengnian smiled and nodded, then moved his body and gave out the old man behind him.

The old man grey looked respectful and gave a tribute to Murong Fengnianshen. However, when he walked forward and looked at other cultivators here, his attitude changed immediately. He raised his eyelids gently and swept across everyone, showing a look of disdain and a very arrogant expression.

Seeing this, a group of cultivators were slightly stunned at first, and then furious. Who is this old man? He is so rampant! The more disdainful the eyes and expressions, the more disdainful you are. Are you despising me?!

A mere Qi Refining Stage junior dared to show such a posture in front of the foundation-building powerhouses, what did the other party think! This made the foundation-building powerhouses crazy and were very angry. If they were in the spiritual realm, they would have been skinned and cramped long ago!

Du Fan's face was a little strange. He obviously guessed something, but he did not grit his teeth like other foundation-building powerhouses.

"Well, this is Master Ku. He has a very high attainment in the way of formation. He is the main force of this trip to the secret realm. He can help us break various restrictions." Murong Fengnian shook his head, felt helpless, coughed dryly, and explained.

As soon as these words were spoken, a group of foundation-building powerhouses suddenly realized, and most of the anger dissipated.

It turns out that the other party is a formation master, no wonder he is so arrogant.

This makes sense. Even ordinary cultivators, as long as their cultivation is not too weak, will receive courtesy and recruitment from major forces in the martial arts realm. If they are a master of formation in the cultivation world, they will be even more popular.

"Let's go short. This time, I was invited to the secret realm to break the magic circles and restrictions inside it, and I needed several cultivators as helpers. As for the candidates, I only have one principle, just be smart, not too many."

The old gray man narrowed his eyes and said slowly, with one hand on his back, stroked his beard with the other hand, raised his chin, and looked indescribable and arrogant.

"Damn it, the formation master is amazing!" Someone was furious. He was really fed up, but he still had to endure it on the surface.

"In the process of breaking the formation, spiritual consciousness is crucial. If your spiritual consciousness is not strong enough, there is no need to conduct the following assessment." The gray old man said slowly, and his fingers shook, and an emerald green bamboo joint flashed out and fell into the old man's hand.

"Blue Qiankun Ring!" Du Fan noticed the Qiankun Ring in the hand of the old man, and was immediately stunned.

It seems that this formation master is doing very well in the martial arts realm. Not only does he have Qiankun level storage tools with his Qi Refining Stage Cultivation, but he also dares to show it out in public, without any fear of others coveting it, so he is naturally fearless.

"Come here, test your spiritual sense first." The old man grey frowned slightly and said impatiently.

The monks were filled with anger, but at the instructions of their respective owners, they had to take a deep breath, endure it, and then took one after another and walked towards the gray old man.

"Why are you still standing there? Are you stupid? Put your hand on it and then lead your divine thoughts to this piece of bamboo!" The old man glared at the person in front and scolded dissatisfiedly.

"You..." the old man scolded an old woman with good cultivation. Her face turned red when she heard this, and her body was trembling with anger.

The old woman polished her teeth that were not a few left, raised her wrinkled palm, and held one end of the emerald green bamboo joint. At the same time, the magic trick in her heart urged her, and a powerful divine power surged out, pouring it down her palm towards the bamboo joint.

This bamboo is crystal clear and green, and is divided into nine sections from top to bottom.

Suddenly, the bamboo light and the green glow flashed from bottom to top, lit up from the first section, then the second section, and the third section... When the green light rose to more than half of the fourth section, it stopped there and no longer went up.

"Unqualified, next one." The old man looked at Zhujie and shook his head.

"What, unqualified?" The old woman was stunned, looking a little unbelievable.

"Next!" The old man of gray waved his hand directly, like a flies, and he didn't even look at the old woman.

"Fellow Taoist, let's go back first." Murong Fengnian smiled slightly and said to the old woman. Although the voice was not loud, it fell into the other party's ears, and it seemed like a thunderous blow.

The old woman's heart trembled, she immediately bowed to Murong Fengnian, then she looked gloomy and returned to her power.

The second tester was a young woman in the early stage of foundation building. When her slender jade hands were placed on the green bamboo, she only allowed the light to stay in half of the fourth bamboo joint, which was not as good as the old woman before.

"Unqualified, next one." The old man in gray waved his hand.

The young woman was very tactful and did not express much when she heard this. She bowed to Murong Fengnian and left voluntarily.

"No, next."

“Not qualified…”

The seven or eight people in a row, the one who performed the best was only allowed the light of the green bamboo to stay at 90% of the fourth bamboo joint.

Needless to say, all of these testers were eliminated by the Gray Old Man.

The martial artists of various forces had a slightly ugly expression when they saw this scene. Three of the master-level warriors had their eyes twitched and their faces turned pale because several cultivators from one of theirs had been "imperfected" in previous tests.

Murong Fengnian looked as usual, but he also started to wonder in his heart that there were only about forty cultivators here. If he continued according to this trend, he would not even have a cultivator who met the conditions in the end, what should he do?

Just when Murong Fengnian frowned slightly and planned to lower the gray old man some standards, he saw a green light in front of him. The bamboo joint used to test his spiritual consciousness suddenly lit up to the middle position of the fifth section.

"Well, it's pretty good. Let's stand aside first and wait for it to fall." The old man gray had already closed his eyes, but now he opened some, and said calmly. (To be continued.)
