Chapter 105: Many Treasures, Much Wealth, Much Prosperity, Much Joy

The Lingya Secret Realm is unlike other Secret Realms that have sects guarding them.

This Secret Realm is located at the summit of Yashan and was discovered jointly by multiple parties; its token is not obtained by anyone, and after entering the Secret Realm, the key to entering the Secret Realm will turn into flowing light and scatter toward the four continents, so this is a masterless Secret Realm.

As long as one has a token in hand, one can enter.

There is no need to be restricted by any sect or force.

There is no one within a hundred miles of the Secret Realm, yet cultivators show their various magical powers when the gate of the Secret Realm is wide open.

Dragons swimming and phoenixes startling fly past in the air, and the fleeting phantoms are the postures of Immortals.

Long swords cross the sky, rustling as they pass.

Spirit Beasts pull carriages, riding clouds to travel across.

On the scorched yellow grass, Weisheng Yucheng slightly raised his head to look up at the firmament, and suddenly sighed.

"This damn Beast Taming Sect."

The person passing by:...

He heard someone pointing at the name of the Beast Taming Sect and cursing, so he couldn't help but turn his head to look, wanting to see who was so daring.

As a result, he took a look.

If he remembered correctly, the ox this person was leading seemed to be the Beast Taming Sect Master's ox? Weisheng Yucheng didn't care about others' opinions; he sighed wearily and continued walking while leading the old ox.

It wasn't that he didn't want to travel by air, but he really had the heart but lacked the strength.

The old ox was at a critical stage of Enlightenment and needed to be closely connected to the thick earth for the Enlightenment to proceed smoothly.

Therefore.

The journey that others could complete in just a few days took them a few months.

Calculating the time, it was roughly since he left Wanren City that he had been on the road.

"Yucheng, might we see that famous Lu Family Head on this trip?"

As he was walking, Weisheng Yucheng's sleeve shook, and a vine like a snake drilled out from his sleeve, blinking the eyes on the vine, full of curiosity.

This was a Twin-Ring Vine, which had two growth rings that could distinguish male and female, and was hermaphroditic.

Weisheng Yucheng paused, lost in thought.

"Probably."

Although he said so, he was certain in his heart.

He was certain that Lu Ren would also be there.

Although this confidence came abruptly, it was not bad.

In previous years, this Lu Saint, the Lu Family Head whose name resounded throughout Dongzhou, had been far too peaceful.

So much so that many young people did not know the immensity of heaven and earth and actually dared to offend him.

Weisheng Yucheng felt it was ridiculous just thinking about it.

These young people were like newborn calves not fearing tigers, completely disregarding those of them who were old-school Saint Realm experts.

They even thought they could kill enemies across ranks.

That Qin Yuan who attacked his door was precisely the most conspicuous example.

But they didn't even bother to inquire before going.

Killing enemies across ranks, indeed.

Like those of them who had roamed the Tianxuan Continent decades or a century ago, how many could not kill enemies across ranks?

And how many were not geniuses?

Being both geniuses, how could one distinguish who was superior—there was only one way.

That was to fight.

That battle back then was fought until the sky went dark and the earth went dim.

Many people, including him, were all injured, and they were serious injuries that left hidden ailments.

It was only in these years that some had recovered from their injuries and were moving about on the continent again.

Yet unexpectedly.

There were actually young people who were newborn calves not fearing tigers.

"It has nothing to do with us oxen." The old ox flicked its tail lightly, driving away the mosquitoes that were about to land on it.

Its personality was peaceful, and a pair of eyes were filled with wise kindness, bell-sized bright yellow pupils that seemed to see through all things in the world.

The old ox gave a sharp evaluation: "Just not knowing the immensity of heaven and earth, as calves would know!"

"That's true." Weisheng Yucheng smiled.

"This Lingya Secret Realm is not like the Luoyun Mijing that Lu Ren visited last time; the Luoyun Mijing has always been under the control of the Qingyun Sect, and very few people went there."

"This Secret Realm, however, encompasses everyone in the world."

"Perhaps we can see most of those on the Hundred-Year Ranking in advance."

Weisheng Yucheng was happy.

"There really is a good show to watch." He quickened his pace, "Let's go, we should hurry over too."

"Lest we miss our show when the time comes."

"How can one not participate in such a grand event?"

Outside the Lingya Secret Realm.

Just as Weisheng Yucheng had thought, countless people had indeed gathered here.

There were sects, families, and also rogue cultivators.

Every time the Secret Realm gates open, countless people gather here.

Most rogue cultivators have eyes filled with vigilance.

Some of them possess tokens.

And there are others...

Who have no tokens in their hands.

Why do those without tokens come here? Anyone can figure that out with their eyes closed: naturally, it is to snatch tokens.

Yes.

The token for this Secret Realm gate is the key, and since it is a key, it can be snatched.

Unless the keys to certain inheritance Secret Realms are rather special.

Otherwise, the vast majority of Secret Realms do not restrict the snatching of keys.

On the summit of Yashan, inns have sprung up, with plaques hanging above them.

Looking closely, one can see the gold ingot emblem on the plaques.

The business of the Duobao Pavilion spans the entire world.

Especially when such ownerless Secret Realms are wide open, the Duobao Pavilion always finds opportunities to wedge itself in.

The original summit of Yashan was a desolate expanse, but now...

Inns, restaurants, Treasure Pavilions, shops.

Everything one could possibly need is here.

These buildings are all grand works, all movable Treasure Tools from the Duobao Pavilion; the various mechanisms within were crafted by master artifact refiners, possessing not only the basic properties of sturdiness and defense against attacks, but also various other extremely useful added properties.

The most prominent among them is the Duobao Pavilion's Nine-Story Pagoda.

Each level of the Nine-Story Pagoda is different.

Different functions, different target audiences, and different rules.

Because the Duobao Pavilion has an excellent reputation, has multiple powerful figures as its backers, and has always maintained good relations with rogue cultivators, the vast majority of cultivators choose the Duobao Pavilion as their first choice when they need to buy or sell.

But no one knows who the master behind the Duobao Pavilion is.

And no one has ever seen their true face.

The Young Masters, however, do occasionally make an appearance.

It is just that their quality is uneven.

Cultivators have never connected the Young Masters of the Duobao Pavilion with the Supreme Treasure Pavilion Master.

After all, cultivators with good talent can even one day live as long as heaven and earth, completely unrestricted by lifespan, so barring any accidents, there is naturally no such thing as abdicating the position.

"The world-renowned Duobao Pavilion..."

An old man wearing a pale yellow robe stands outside the Duobao Pavilion restaurant, his tone sighing leisurely.

"It has been a long time since I last saw it."

The door attendant outside the Duobao Pavilion restaurant and shop is very sharp; seeing the old man just standing below the steps without coming forward, he immediately steps up to solicit business.

His face is full of smiles.

"Why doesn't this old gentleman come inside?"

"Our restaurant still has vacant rooms! Today, Master Lingshan is personally cooking; his signature dishes have always been our specialty."

Although he cannot discern the level of the old man's strength before him, smiling at everyone is the Duobao Pavilion's tenet for treating guests.

Even if the person before him were a filthy Old Beggar, he would still have to treat the guest with a smile and not reveal a hint of strange emotion.

This is what the higher-ups have instructed.

After all... who knows if some old fellow might have a sudden whim to change their appearance and make an entrance.

Ji Shisi smiles at the waiter, "Coming right up."

He looks toward Lu Ren, who is standing at his side.

"What does young friend Lu think?"
