Chapter 682

Hearing him say this, Lu Zongkui couldn't help but be a little surprised; he hadn't expected Lin Zhangqing to be so calm.

Facing a visit from a Golden Core Great Perfection cultivator like himself, he couldn't see any panicked expression.

He couldn't help but appreciate him even more. Actually, back at the arena, Lu Zongkui had already had the intention of taking Lin Zhangqing as a disciple! Unfortunately, Lin Zhangqing had always played dumb and pretended not to understand; in reality, he looked down on the other party, not fancying a Golden Core stage cultivator as his master.

In his view, even if he found a master, they couldn't teach him too many things, so there wasn't much necessity.

If he really wanted to find a master, it was more like finding a backer, so he preferred to find one with high cultivation.

That way, when reporting his background in the future, the deterrent effect on others would be greater! After Lu Zongkui gladly agreed, Lin Zhangqing led him to sit down at the pavilion in his backyard garden.

After both sides were seated, he immediately served spirit tea, and Lu Zongkui asked about his experiences entering the Inner Sect during this period.

Lin Zhangqing answered them all with ease. After three rounds of tea, Lu Zongkui officially entered the main topic.

After carefully sizing up Lin Zhangqing again, he said, "Before talking about the main business, let me introduce another identity of mine."

"I am one of the Vice Hall Masters of the sect's Blood Battle Hall, and also a distant clan uncle of Lu Baisheng! Actually, I believe you should have some guesses as to why I came to find you this time. I have a matter I would like you to help with!"

Actually, when Lu Zongkui mentioned Lu Baisheng, he had already guessed that this matter might still be related to that secret realm.

But he didn't want to participate in it, so he still played dumb, wanting to see how Lu Zongkui would talk to him.

So he said directly, "Uncle-Master Lu, please speak. But for problems that even you, as a Golden Core cultivator, cannot solve, I estimate that this disciple does not have the ability to solve them either."

"Besides, there has been someone targeting my Dao companion, so I'm afraid it's hard for me to get away. Please forgive me, Uncle-Master Lu!"

Lu Zongkui frowned upon hearing this and asked directly, "Who is so bold as to dare target the family members of our Tianshui Sect disciples!"

"Tell me, and I will help you beat them into meat paste!"

Ye Tiansheng did not say it directly. After all, Wei Zhanggeng's father was a fourth-tier alchemist, and he himself was a Golden Core cultivator; it was impossible for Lu Zongkui to confront him directly.

So he didn't say it rashly, but said, "This disciple can still handle this matter for the time being, so I won't trouble Uncle-Master! You should talk about why you came to find me first! For things within my ability, this disciple will definitely help with all my might!"

Lu Zongkui didn't know what he was worried about, but since Lin Zhangqing didn't want to say, he couldn't force him.

So he organized his language and then said, "I represent the Blood Battle Hall and would like to invite you to enter the Thunder Fall Secret Realm once to figure out the general situation inside!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing immediately wanted to refuse.

Lu Zongkui continued, "Don't be in such a hurry to refuse; listen to me continue!"

"I know you have the ability to move freely within the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm."

"You even snatched enough Thunder Extreme Fruits from a group of third-tier Thunder Apes, thereby obtaining a quota to join the Tianshui Sect! So for you, going to the Thunder Fall Secret Realm is actually an easy task!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing could no longer hold back and said directly, "Uncle-Master Lu, you think too highly of me!"

"Do you know how many people entered the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm at that time? A total of 3,000 late Foundation Establishment cultivators entered the secret realm, and only a little over 500 came out. The survival rate was not even twenty percent!"

"I was just lucky at the time and picked up some cheap gains, which is why I was fortunate enough to enter the Tianshui Sect. If you let me do it again, I definitely wouldn't have that luck!"

"So Uncle-Master, this disciple really doesn't have that ability. You should go find other Senior Brothers and Sisters to take a look!"

Lu Zongkui wasn't angry when he heard him refuse like this; he just laughed and said, "What are you nervous about, kid? Why don't you listen to me introduce the situation inside the Thunder Fall Secret Realm and the conditions offered by the Blood Battle Hall before considering whether to refuse!"

Lin Zhangqing said somewhat helplessly, "Uncle-Master Lu, please speak. This disciple is all ears!"

Lu Zongkui said faintly, "According to our comparison with the sect's records from two thousand years ago, we infer that the secret realm Lu Baisheng and the others handed over..."

"... is very likely the most fundamental and important secret realm of the Extreme Thunder Sect: the Thunder Fall Secret Realm!"

"Although this is only a low-tier secret realm, this Thunder Fall Secret Realm has always been in the hands of the absolute top brass of the Extreme Thunder Sect."

"This is also the reason why, after they were ambushed and died, this Thunder Fall Secret Realm completely lost all news."

"There is a saying that the reason the Extreme Thunder Sect was able to become a medium-to-large sect possessing five Nascent Soul cultivators in just two or three thousand years..."

"... is very likely related to this Thunder Fall Secret Realm, so the sect wants to figure out what exactly is going on inside."

"The sect's records are also very vague. The most useful information collected is just knowing that the disciples who enter the secret realm..."

"... must concentrate toward the center of the secret realm and then go there to challenge some kind of tower."

"After arriving there, one must challenge at least one level to have a possibility of escaping that secret realm and bringing out the harvest inside."

"However, according to inference, the area inside the secret realm should be very vast, so the number of demonic beasts should also be quite large."

"And there is a high possibility that this secret realm also produces a spirit fruit unique to the Extreme Thunder Sect: the third-tier superior Thunder Extreme Fruit. You should be most familiar with this thing!"

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing felt that the difficulty of this Thunder Fall Secret Realm should be about the same as the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm he had experienced before.

Perhaps the only difference between the two was that in the Thunder Fall Secret Realm, one had to challenge that tower; this might be the most difficult part!

So after having a vague impression, he felt slightly more at ease, but even at this point, he still had no intention of participating! At this time, Lu Zongkui continued, "These are all the news the sect knows so far."

"Below are the conditions offered by our Blood Battle Hall. Besides the 20,000 sect contribution points promised by the sect, plus possessing all the harvests inside..."

"... we, the Blood Battle Hall, will privately add 100,000 sect contribution points and 500 points of Demon Hunting Merit."

"Don't underestimate the 500 points as not being much; these Demon Hunting Merits require you to hunt 100 demonic cultivators of the same rank to have a possibility of obtaining them."

"With them, it is enough for you to directly exchange for a small-to-medium island possessing a third-tier middle-grade spirit vein!"
