Chapter 683

After saying these things, seeing Lin Zhangqing fall into deep thought, Lu Zongkui stopped talking.

Instead, he slowly tasted the spirit tea, leaving him some time to consider.

Hearing this, Lin Zhangqing's heart also skipped a beat. He really didn't care for other things, but he was very interested in this Demon Hunting Merit.

Because through various understandings, he also knew that Demon Hunting Merit was not so easy to grind.

The most important thing was that there weren't that many demonic cultivators at the border for you to hunt, and none of the demonic cultivators who could mix at the border were easy to deal with.

So if one really wanted to grind Demon Hunting Merit, one had to consider sneaking into the territory of the Blood Sea Sect, but the danger of doing so rose in a straight line!

Because breaking into someone else's territory made it very easy to be surrounded and killed, and there were even high-stage cultivators with cultivation much higher than yours who would come to surround and kill you.

So from this point, it could be seen that the 500 Demon Hunting Merits offered by Lu Zongkui could already be considered very sincere. Of course, for Lin Zhangqing, wanting to get 500 Demon Hunting Merits might not be that difficult, but it required a lot of time.

But what Lin Zhangqing lacked most right now was time; he wanted to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible and didn't want to waste time on other things.

And to be honest, he still very much agreed with Lu Zongkui's statement just now that the Thunder Fall Secret Realm might produce Thunder Extreme Fruits.

He himself also knew that this kind of Thunder Extreme Fruit could be considered a very important cultivation resource for him! If there really were enough Thunder Extreme Fruits, he might even be able to cultivate the "Thunder True Scripture" to the fourth-tier realm in a short period of time.

That would truly be vastly different!

So, trying to get as many Thunder Extreme Fruits in his hands as possible was the most important thing! Therefore, Lin Zhangqing's heart had already begun to waver, only he hadn't finally made up his mind yet.

So after hesitating for a while, Lin Zhangqing said, "Uncle-Master Lu, this disciple still has a few questions I would like to ask you before making a decision!"

Lu Zongkui immediately heard that Lin Zhangqing had wavered and couldn't help but laugh inwardly. It seemed that this little fox, Lin Zhangqing, was ultimately no match for him, this old hunter.

So he nodded and said with a smile, "Then ask! I will try my best to answer for you!"

Lin Zhangqing nodded and asked, "Why must you find me to explore this Thunder Fall Secret Realm?"

Lu Zongkui said faintly, "Because you know thunder techniques, have a thunder spirit root, and have even moved freely through the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm."

"So considering various reasons, in my view, you are the most suitable candidate!"

"Of course, it's not just you; including your friends, the five Song brothers, they will also participate in this exploration of the Thunder Fall Secret Realm together."

"After all, they are also people who came out of the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm. I believe that this time in the Thunder Fall Secret Realm, their performance shouldn't be too bad either!"

Lin Zhangqing was a bit speechless when he heard him say this, guessing inwardly that Lu Zongkui must also know some other things about him!

Otherwise, he wouldn't keep saying he had moved freely through the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm! However, he didn't know exactly what he knew, so he could only pretend not to understand!

So Lin Zhangqing continued to ask, "Then this time, how many disciples is the sect planning to invest to explore this Thunder Fall Secret Realm?" Hearing him ask this question, Lu Zongkui couldn't help but nod and answer:

"Drawing lessons from your last time in the Extreme Thunder Secret Realm, the sect has decided to only invest 200 disciples inside this time."

"Among them, 150 Foundation Establishment disciples and 50 Purple Mansion disciples!"

Hearing this answer, Lin Zhangqing just nodded and continued to ask, "This secret realm might not have been visited by cultivators for over a thousand years! This also means the demonic beasts inside haven't been disturbed for over a thousand years. Will fourth-tier Demon King-level demonic beasts appear directly and wipe us all out?"

Hearing him ask this, Lu Zongkui couldn't help but laugh and explained, "Absolutely not, you can rest assured about this!"

"Because this is only a low-tier secret realm, it cannot accommodate existences of the fourth tier and above."

"If a demonic beast with third-tier Great Perfection cultivation hasn't died under the heavenly tribulation, then it has succeeded in crossing the tribulation!"

"If that were really the case, it would definitely have already been excluded from the Thunder Fall Secret Realm, so you absolutely don't need to worry about this problem! Also, if Golden Core cultivators could enter a low-tier secret realm, I would have gone in myself long ago!"

"Where would I need to come here and painstakingly try to persuade you, little guy!"

After hearing this, Lin Zhangqing just laughed dryly in embarrassment. Of course, Lu Zongkui saying it like this also made him feel much more at ease.

Otherwise, if he were a Foundation Establishment cultivator sent to challenge a secret realm where a fourth-tier Demon King might appear, he wouldn't go to his death even if given more benefits! So, after weighing it quickly in his heart, Lin Zhangqing said, "Since Uncle-Master Lu has already spoken to this extent, this disciple cannot refuse! Only, I would like to ask Uncle-Master, if someone takes the opportunity while this disciple is away to target my family members, what does Uncle-Master say should be done?"

Lu Zongkui asked curiously, "You kid finally agreed, that's great! But you've been rambling on so much, who exactly are you talking about? Tell me so I can hear it!"

Hearing Lu Zongkui say he was rambling, Lin Zhangqing wasn't angry, just said with a half-smile, "Of course it's Wei Zhanggeng. If it weren't for his father being a Golden Core cultivator, I estimate he would have died hundreds of times already!"

Lu Zongkui sneered, "I thought it was someone else? This is simple! I will go personally to warn that kid later. If he dares to act recklessly, don't say his father is just a fourth-tier alchemist!"

"Even if his father were the Pavilion Master of the Pill Cauldron Pavilion, I would still chop him into meat paste in front of his father, then grind his bones and scatter the ashes, guaranteeing not to leave a single bit. Are you satisfied with this?"

Lin Zhangqing hadn't expected the Vice Hall Master of the Blood Battle Hall to be so tough, but this wasn't the result he wanted.

So he said, "Uncle-Master, what you said is the way to handle it after the incident, but this is not the result I want!"

"What I want is for all my family members to be safe."

"Not seeking revenge after the incident. Even if that feels good in the heart, it cannot change the damage that has already been caused."

"So what I mean is, during the period I am out exploring the secret realm, can you find two reliable people..."

"... to come to this vicinity and help me look after my family members? The reward they need can be paid by me!"
