Chapter 229: Chapter 220 Heading to the Demon Race Secret Realm

Foundation Establishment Fifth Level…

Lin Jing, feeling his current level of cultivation, couldn’t help but remember the time when he first crossed over.

Back then, he was only at the first level of Qi Refinement.

Moreover, he was cornered by Manager Li and Yuan Bo, in a very dangerous situation, and it was only then that he made a breakthrough to the second level of Qi Refinement on the spot.

Four years had passed since that incident.

In just four years, he had gone from the first level of Qi Refinement straight to the fifth level of Foundation Establishment.

Such a pace could certainly not be considered slow.

As for Manager Li from that time, Lin Jing didn’t know what had become of him.

If only…

he could see Lin Jing now, what would his reaction be?

Lin Jing believed that no matter how much Manager Li cultivated, he should not have surpassed the Foundation Establishment stage by now.

Because Foundation Building Elixirs were not so easily obtained.

Although…

he was a manager at the Qingyuan Sword Sect’s Qingtian Peak, his aptitude wasn’t great, and without any special contributions, it was difficult to receive the sect’s bestowed Foundation Building Elixirs.

The path to the Foundation Establishment was fraught with obstacles.

As for Yuan Bo, there was even less to say.

With Lin Jing’s current cultivation, he had probably left Yuan Bo far behind.

Besides those two, Lin Jing also thought of Senior Han.

He wondered how he was doing now.

Being an Inner Sect Disciple of the Qingyuan Sword Sect, he must be doing quite well.

Afterwards…

Lin Jing set aside his thoughts and continued to look at the panel.

After such a long time of continuous alchemy, Lin Jing’s alchemy proficiency had also reached over twenty thousand.

He estimated that in a few more months, he should reach the rank of Fourth Grade Alchemist.

Although…

he was about to be promoted to a Fourth Grade Pill Master.

He had not yet refined a single batch of Third Rank Elixir Medicine.

A Third Grade Alchemist who had never refined Third Rank Elixir Medicines was probably only Lin Jing himself.

Moreover, Lin Jing only needed to refine Second Rank Elixir Medicines to increase the proficiency of a Third Grade Pill Master.

About this…

Lin Jing was puzzled, but he couldn’t get an answer from the System.

He could only assume…

it was a BUG in the System.

After checking this information, Lin Jing then closed the system panel and left the System Space.

In the following two days…

Lin Jing entered the System Space a few more times, cultivated for two days, and stabilized his new realm.

Not until the third day did Lin Jing come out from the System Space.

Today…

was the day that they had all agreed to head for the Demon Race Secret Realm.

Early in the morning…

Lin Jing had already prepared everything.

Then he went out, called for Huang Qingling, and with Little Sparrow, the two of them plus the eagle headed towards the Li Family.

For this trip to the Demon Race Secret Realm, Huang Qingling planned to take Little Sparrow inside. Little Sparrow was just a beast pet and did not count towards the quota; it would be fine as long as it stayed with Huang Qingling.

Since the two lived in the outer city, they were quite a distance from the Li Family residence. By the time they arrived, Zhang Yuan had already reached the Li household ahead of them.

Once the two caught up…

everyone was ready.

Now they were just waiting for Elder Master Li, who was still with other members of the Li Family, apparently instructing them about something, and had not yet come over.

So…

they chatted and waited together.

Li Qingqing and Huang Qingling were having a great time playing with Little Sparrow.

It wasn’t long before…

Elder Master Li also appeared.

Once Elder Master Li arrived, the group set off and walked towards the outskirts of the city.

After leaving the city, they flew on their swords, speeding towards the Demon Race Secret Realm.

This flight, the distance was indeed not short.

Only after six hours did Elder Master Li, who was leading the way, begin to speak up again:

“Alright…”

“We are almost there, let’s land here; we’ll walk the remaining way.”

“Okay…”

Then everyone responded in unison.

Throughout the journey, Elder Master Li had constantly emanated his cultivation aura, and no Demonic Beasts dared to attack them.

Thus…

their journey was extremely smooth.

And up ahead…

was the entrance to the Demon Race Secret Realm.

Members from the three major sects were guarding there.

Continuing to fly openly would be somewhat inappropriate.

It was precisely because of this reason.

Elder Master Li then spoke up, asking them to walk over together.

A few people descended from the sky and followed Elder Master Li towards the entrance of the Demon Race Secret Realm.

About half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the Demon Race Secret Realm.

This place was a valley.

Inside the valley, trees were lush, and strange rocks stood tall. At the far end of the valley, there was a smooth stone wall.

It was on this stone wall that a light screen was emitting bursts of light.

Around the light screen, a Defensive Array had already isolated it.

Moreover, at the entrance of the array, personnel from the three major sects were standing guard.

And not far from the entrance,

The people from the three major sects had also built a complex of buildings.

Presumably, this would be where those guarding the entrance stayed.

Today, it was not just them who had come to this place but also some other individuals.

They were all queuing in front of the entrance of the formation, walking into the light screen one by one.

Lin Jing even saw Liu Yiyuan and Yun Long at the very front of the queue.

Unexpectedly, both of them had come as well.

Leading the two of them was a Golden Core Cultivator Lin Jing had never seen before,

At the moment, this Golden Core Cultivator was standing close to Yun Long, evidently conversing about something. It seemed that the Golden Core Cultivator was likely a member of the Yun Family.

Now that the Li Family had fallen, the Liu Clan had become involved with the Yun Family.

A few of them arrived, and they were also noticed by Liu Yiyuan and the others.

However, given the current situation, Liu Yiyuan just glanced over here and then turned his head away, no longer paying attention.

“You all wait here…”

Upon reaching the entrance, Elder Master Li said this to them

After that,

He walked towards an elder of the Qingyuan Sword Sect who was standing by the entrance.

After a brief conversation,

It wasn’t long before Elder Master Li returned.

“Let’s go…”

“That entrance to the secret realm is a Teleportation Array; when we enter, it will separate us.”

“Don’t worry, the distance we’ll be separated by won’t be too far.”

“Once inside, do not run around; I will find you very quickly. Once we’ve all regrouped, I will then take you to the Cleansing Spirit Pool.”

“And also…”

“Right after entering, remember to be very cautious; under no circumstances should you let your guard down, lest you be ambushed by the Demonic Beasts inside.”

After Elder Master Li finished speaking, everyone quickly nodded in response.

“Understood…”

Subsequently,

Elder Master Li then led them towards the entrance of the Secret Realm.

At this moment,

Those who had been ahead in line had already gone inside.

The group passed through the formation and approached the entrance to the Secret Realm.

First was Elder Master Li, who stepped forward and entered the light screen, vanishing within.

Immediately afterward,

Li Tan also followed closely behind, stepping into the light screen as well.

Subsequently,

One after the other, they all went in.

Lin Jing was the second to last to enter.

This was because Huang Qingling, seeing that Lin Jing had never been to the Secret Realm before, insisted on covering his rear.

Even though Lin Jing had said there was no need, Huang Qingling still insisted.

This left Lin Jing somewhat amused and exasperated.

Before long,

It was Lin Jing’s turn.

Lin Jing also took a step forward and then disappeared into the light screen.

Passing through the light screen, the intense brightness forced Lin Jing to squint, barely able to keep his eyes open.

Reluctantly…

Lin Jing had no choice but to close his eyes.

A few moments later, Jing clearly felt the change in the Spiritual Energy around him, markedly different from the outside world.

It was as if he was in another world entirely.

It was only then

That Lin Jing opened his eyes, finally seeing his surroundings clearly.

The place where Lin Jing found himself was lush with trees, which almost obscured the sky above.

Just as Lin Jing was about to turn and look behind him,

Suddenly,

A chilling coldness struck…

At the same time,

The system warning sounded at that moment.

“Warning!”

“Within the alert range, a living creature has launched a stealth attack on the host. Please respond in time.”
