After 100 years of leatherworking, I have become a giant in the magic sect.

Chapter 88 87. Abnormalities, Secret Land (4.1K words - please subscribe)
Since the "loose cultivators" were coming, Song Yan had nothing much to say. He immediately ran to the "Taoyuan Restaurant" to notify them and asked them to prepare some elegant dishes. Then he started to prepare "spicy pork skin and roasted pork neck".

Spicy pork skin is a cold dish, but it is prepared in advance.

The pork neck is placed in a sealed wooden box, topped with vanilla and sprinkled with caramel, and then slowly cooked in the residual heat.
Both dishes were secret recipes, so he opened the gate only after he finished cooking them.

When he looked outside, he saw his two beautiful concubines looking at him eagerly.

When they saw him come out, one of them asked, "Master, is a fairy coming? I have never seen a fairy before." Another said, "Master, let me and my sister bring the dishes over later so we can take a look at the fairy's demeanor."

Song Yan knew what the two women were thinking, so he asked directly, "Are you asking for some elixir?"

Lin Xianxing asked happily, "Did the master make arrangements in advance?"

The other concubine, usually called Pei'er, also looked at him with surprise and said, "Master, it's hard to meet a fairy, but since we have this opportunity today, don't let it go.

I have heard that the Xuanqi Pill is extremely miraculous and people in the martial arts world are flocking to it, wanting to get one but unable to do so. But this cultivator is probably just giving it away casually.

If the monk gave it to us today, even if we don't use it or not, it will be a savings for our children and grandchildren. In the future, our Taoyuan Meat Shop Li family will also be famous in the martial arts world. This is a move to prosper the family."

Song Yan was quite speechless and said: "You are better at talking than Xing'er in terms of reading this book."

Lin Xianxing said softly, "I'm not as cunning as my sister. I'm afraid I'll be bullied. Huh, hhh."

Pei'er said, "Master, should we practice it first?"

"What are you practicing?"

Song Yan was really confused.

Pei Er said, "We will definitely kneel down and beg the gods for the elixir in a while. The master will definitely kneel in the middle, and Sister Xing Er and I will decide who is on the left and who is on the right."

Lin Xianxing said: "I will enter first, so of course I will be on the right."

Pei Er smiled and said, "That should be the case, but if the immortal takes a look, he will look to the right first. If he asks some questions, will you be able to answer them as fluently as I do? If I make a mistake, can you take the blame?"

Lin Xianxing hesitated immediately.

She didn't have much education, and indeed wasn't as talkative as Pei'er, but if she really had to give up the kneeling position on the right, wouldn't she have to be the younger one in this family from now on?

Song Yan turned away.

The two girls were startled, and hurriedly caught up, pulling at each other's sleeves, twisting their hips and saying coquettishly: "Master, Master, which one is left and which one is right?"

Song Yan said: "Everyone stay at home, don't go!"

After saying that, he walked directly out of the inner courtyard door.

The two girls looked annoyed, snorted softly, raised their chests to each other, turned their bodies, and then walked back to their own rooms.

As soon as Song Yancai went out, he saw a fierce man "laughing" standing outside the door. Who else could it be but Protector Du?
When Guardian Du saw Song Yan coming out, he hurried forward, pulled his sleeve, and said, "Brother Li, have you arranged the dishes?"

Song Yan said: "It's settled."

Du Hufa looked around and said mysteriously, "It's a rare opportunity for an immortal to come here. After three rounds of wine, the leader will come to meet the immortal in person and kneel down to beg for some elixirs.

At that time, the deputy gang leader will kneel on the right, and I will kneel on the left. But since you are the one who made the dish, you will kneel next to me, and the four of us will pray to the immortals and ask for the elixir together, how about that? "

After saying this, his face was full of anticipation and excitement, and then he said: "This is a great opportunity."

Song Yan looked at the usually fierce Du Hufa, not knowing what to say, and just said, "My position in the gang is not high, so forget it."

Du Hufa said, "That won't work! That monk must have come here because he heard about Brother Song's skills! Our Flying Knife Gang is blessed by you, brother. If we don't give you a place to kneel, I, Old Du, will be the first to disagree!"

The two of them pushed each other away for a while. Seeing that Song Yan really had no intention of enjoying this opportunity, Protector Du secretly admired Brother Li's kindness and thought about reporting to the gang leader later to ask for more compensation.

About an hour later.

Six monks came to the private room of Taoyuan Restaurant.

There were three male and three female monks, and Madam Ling sat in the center.

She was a female cultivator wearing a black ghost mask and a black robe, carrying a sword. If it weren't for her graceful figure and long tangled hair, it would be hard to tell whether she was a man or a woman.

But Song Yan could not only see that she was a woman, but also that she was a very beautiful woman.

Because Song Yan was too familiar with the woman with whom he had had an intimate relationship.

This Madam Ling is actually Hua Linglong!

After not seeing her for several years, she actually became a monk.

Song Yan recalled what he had told her when he left that "there are opportunities for Xuan Roots in the Snake Corpse Market and the Demon Swamp Secret Realm." It was obvious that Hua Linglong had already ventured into the Demon Swamp Secret Realm, obtained Xuan Roots from it, and then began to practice.

But this matter was outrageous for Song Yan.

How could it be so easy to obtain Xuan Gen?
Besides, he was now in the Crimson Palace Realm, which was a much higher level. So when he looked at Hua Linglong, he could naturally tell at a glance that Hua Linglong's level should be around the third level of Lian Xuan. After all, Hua Linglong didn't seem to have learned any magic such as the Qi Gathering Technique.

However, in just over five years, he had already acquired the Xuan root and entered the third level of Xuan training. This speed of progress was somewhat unusual.

In fact, when Song Yan thought back to the "Snake Corpse Market" and the moving "Demon Swamp Secret Realm", he also felt that they were unusual.

As for the other five people, they seemed to be at the third to fifth level of Xuan practice.

As he thought about it, he briefly introduced the dishes.

The monks were very impatient with this, and soon an old man waved his hand, signaling him to go down quickly.

Madam Ling said calmly: "Let the servants outside go down as well."

The basis of her voice is still Hua Linglong, but it is obviously disguised.

This is not a magical disguise, but a deliberate change of voice caused by "hurting the throat".

At this moment, she was sitting in the center of the six monks, clearly the backbone.
However, she did not recognize Song Yan.

Song Yan bowed hastily and hurried out. Seeing the maids waiting to serve him outside the door, he said, "Stay away." The maids immediately dispersed and ran out of the gate.

Outside the gate, the leader and deputy leader of the Flying Knife Gang, Du Hufa and a group of people were already waiting anxiously. When they saw Song Yan go out, they asked about the situation and drove people out while waiting, saying, "Don't eavesdrop on the conversation between the immortals."

Song Yan simply released his spiritual sense.

Divine consciousness is exclusive to the Crimson Palace Realm. For those at the Lianxuan level, it is a "dimensionality reduction attack" and there is no need to worry.

Although the mysterious energy here is extremely rare, Song Yan did not investigate the situation several miles away.

It's such a close distance, just separated by a wall and a door, so it's still okay.

The sound of conversation in the room came clearly into his ears.

"Mrs. Ling, are you sure?"

"The surrounding area is barren of profound energy, how could there be a secret realm?"

A monk asked.

Madam Ling replied, "I went in there once by accident. There are only some low-level monsters there, so there is nothing to be afraid of. If you are worried, I and Zhu'er will go in front, and you can follow behind."

Beside her, another petite female cultivator with a somewhat dull face nodded her head vigorously. Madam Ling said calmly, "Zhu'er is mute, she can't speak, but her strength is slightly higher than that of my younger sister."

The other four cultivators looked at each other, and one of them said, "We naturally believe Madam Ling, but this Xuan Xiu world is dangerous, so we asked more questions."

Another person suddenly said, "There is no need for Madam Ling to explore the way. We can ask the local gang to mobilize more than ten good fighters to help us explore the way. If we encounter danger, we can see what's going on first and then decide whether to take action."

Afterwards, several people discussed the details of the secret realm.

Most of the words were spoken by Madam Ling, and the four people nearby were listening attentively.

of course
Song Yan was listening too.

He was also extremely curious about this "secret realm". He was very curious about its origin and the monsters in it.

In fact, he had explored the area near Chaoli County before he became Master Li, but he did not find any trace of the "secret place". However, he did not know how Hua Linglong knew about it and how she accidentally entered it.

During the conversation, he also learned that the secret place was named "Candle Land" because the monster in it was a low-level monster called "Night Candle Bug".

This kind of evil insect hibernates during the day and wakes up at night. Even if it wakes up, it will be safe as long as it is protected by some mysterious tools such as the covering tripod. It can be said that it is very easy to deal with.

This kind of secret realm is simply a paradise for casual cultivators. After all, one can often find treasures and even skills in the secret realm.

Just as I was thinking about it, the monk inside had finished his conversation and the dishes on the table were almost finished.

A monk shouted, "Clean it up."

After these four words were heard, the long-awaited chief and deputy chief of the Flying Knife Gang, Protector Du, hurried in. After entering the door, he knelt down and tried to please, then began to ask for an opportunity.

A monk looked at the three people and suddenly said, "Boss, please stand up. We have something to ask of you."

The leader of the Flying Knife Gang did not stand up, but smiled flatteringly and said respectfully, "Master, please speak."

The monk said, "Three days from now, at noon, gather the best fighters in the gang and follow us to a nearby place. We will leave early and return late, and it won't take too long. When the time comes, you will have your own benefits."

After that, he took out a small bottle from his arms and threw it out, saying: "Give me three Xuanqi Pills first."

The leader of the Flying Knife Gang took the bottle, but he trembled and said in a trembling voice: "Master, I don't know what it means to go there?"

The monk circled his fingers and the flying sword behind him came out of its sheath with a clang, whistling and dancing in the air for two circles, shining with a cold light and exuding an chilling aura.

laugh!
The flying sword returns to its sheath.

The leader of the Flying Knife Gang and three others knelt on the ground, their Adam's apples rolling, not daring to breathe.

The monk said, "We just need some manpower. With us here, what do you have to worry about?"

"Yes, yes, yes." The leader of the Flying Knife Gang felt cold sweat on his back.

Another monk said leisurely: "We need good hands, don't be perfunctory with us."

As he was talking, he narrowed his eyes and thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Boss, when the time comes, you lead the team. Only if you lead the team, can we ensure that you really bring good people with you.

By the way, all three of you must go, and any cadres in the gang who hold positions must also go."

"This"

The leader of the Flying Knife Gang regretted it so much that his intestines turned green.

If you had known this, why would you have come in?
However, even if he did not come here, if these monks really decided on something, they would not allow him to resist.

The leader of the Flying Knife Gang raised his head and forced a smile on his fleshy face.

"It's really a blessing to be able to follow the Immortal and gain some knowledge. It's really a blessing."

On that day, the six monks stayed temporarily in Chaoli County.

The leader of the Flying Knife Gang began to gather good men.

The chief and deputy chief, the two guardians, and the six hall masters are all unable to escape.
In order to increase the chances of survival, the leader of the Flying Knife Gang gritted his teeth and began to gather more people, saying things like following the immortal to find opportunities and that there would be no danger.

As an old hand at this, although he was not sure, the leader of the Flying Knife Gang felt that he and his gang might become cannon fodder for the monks, so he wanted to find more people to serve as their cannon fodder.

If there is real danger, even if one level after another dies, it won’t be his turn.

If all the people in front of him really die and it is his turn, that is fate and there is no escape.

Because the "hall master" was appointed by the emperor, Song Yan could not escape.

He never expected that he could be shot like this.

But it doesn't matter.

He was not nervous.

The team of monks led by "Hua Linglong" dared to enter the secret realm. If he didn't dare to enter, he might as well just kill himself with a piece of tofu.

Moreover, he has never entered the secret realm, so this time is a good opportunity.

that night
The two beautiful concubines of Master Li knew that the master was going to go somewhere with the monk. That night, the two women showed off their magical powers and performed all the magic tricks they had learned on the master.

Until they both fell limp, they snuggled in Master Li's arms, hooking their long legs around his legs and supporting his body with their soft hands, and they started talking to each other, saying things like "Master, the key to the family's treasury has to be kept by someone for the time being."

The two women were both very smart and knew that anything related to monks would be dangerous. If the master didn't come back, what would follow would be a "battle for the family inheritance."

At this moment, the sound of a sobbing flute was heard in the night.

Song Yan swept his spiritual sense and saw Hua Linglong sitting on a bridge in the county, playing the flute to the moon, with her eyes slightly lowered, and it was unknown what she was thinking about.

Obviously, Hua Linglong's life has been colorful in recent years. Ever since she "defied the will of heaven" and developed the "Xuan Gen", and ever since she was affected by herself, her life was destined to be no longer ordinary.

Song Yan was helpless about this unintentional burden.

When he entered the secret realm this time, he also had the thought of "protecting it if he can".

The sound of the flute gradually slowed down.
The black-robed female cultivator turned over and her cold, pure and beautiful face was sealed behind the ghost mask.

"Have you ever heard of creating a mysterious root out of nothing?" Song Yanmo asked.

The voice was transmitted into Grandma Fox's soul, and Grandma Fox said, "Yes."

Immediately, it sorted itself out and said, "I have heard of two kinds."

"One method is to use innate spiritual objects to refine elixirs to nourish the body, but this method is too expensive, and the effort and reward are completely disproportionate."

"Another method is that some special monster fetuses or monster insect eggs are hidden in the human body and can absorb the profound energy, thus creating the illusion of the emergence of profound roots."

Song Yan narrowed his eyes.

Then he put the soul of Fox Grandma into the black spot.

Not to mention, it’s quite convenient to have such a “portable old fox demon”.
