Chongming Xianzong

Chapter 90: The Master's Secret Room
After Kang Dabao packed up all the treasures, especially the black bones, and hid them deep at the bottom of the storage bag, he called his two fellow apprentices and pretended that he had just discovered the cave.

After he said that, the two of them naturally believed it, so the three of them searched the tomb carefully for another two days.

Naturally, there were only a few artifacts in the main tomb, and in several secondary tombs, the three people only found a dozen spirit stones and a few bottles of elixirs suitable for the Qi training period.

This is because the jade bottles used to hold the elixirs are all ordinary stuff, and the elixirs inside have almost dissolved, so it is hard to say what benefits the monks will get from eating them.

However, adhering to the principle that spiritual objects picked up for free are still spiritual objects, Master Kang was still reluctant to throw it away and picked up the pill.

It didn’t matter that the monk couldn’t eat it, he planned to take it out and feed it to the old donkey to try.

"Master, your previous prediction was indeed correct. There are indeed lionworm eggs in this tomb, and there are quite a lot of them!"

Just when everyone was about to give up, Pei Yi excitedly walked out from an inconspicuous dark room, holding a dozen insect eggs with snow-like patterns on a soapy base, his face full of excitement.

Fortunately, this kind of insect eggs can survive for hundreds of years without dying, otherwise everyone would be happy for nothing if they were dug up.

This was their biggest gain after two days of staying here. Previously, Kang Dabao and his two fellow apprentices had searched all the stone slabs in the tomb, but they didn't find any other good things.

"Oh, that's good, it's almost done. We've been out for a while, let's go back now." Kang Dabao took it with great joy and put it in the spirit-gathering box he had prepared in advance.

Although the relics in the Gu Huntong coffin are extremely precious to the Chongming Sect, Master Kang still does not want to miss such a good thing as the lion worm eggs.

It should be noted that if the spiritual insect such as the lion worm is cultivated correctly, it will have the potential to grow into the lower grade of the second stage in a few decades, and it is normal for it to live for a hundred years.

If the top figures among the Qi training practitioners can master it, anyone who has established a common foundation can give it a try.

This is considered a treasure in the Chongming Sect today, and can even be used as a legacy, so it must be carefully kept. Unfortunately, although there are books on raising spirit insects in the sect today, the quality is too low, and there are not many predecessors who are good at this.

Most of them were just the records that the ancestors of the sect brought back from the outside world due to their own opportunities and confiscated items. They were in a mess. If one wanted to practice, it would probably take a lot of effort to send someone to sort them out carefully.

Kang Dabao decided to write a letter to He Dezong after he returned. He thought that his brother often traveled outside and could help Chongmingzong find information about this kind of classics.

You can also ask that annoying guy who just moved from Linghe Market to Chongming Market and ask him to get some information. At most, you can ask him to raise the rent less in the future.

"Then Senior Brother, can I go to Hong County first and then return to the sect?" Jiang Qing hadn't been out for a long time and was reluctant to go back.

He was a man with a somewhat chivalrous temperament. He had been detained in the sect by Kang Dabao for so many days and was really bored, so he mustered up the courage to speak in a weak voice.

"What's the point of going to Hong County? Be careful that the eldest brother of the He family might stuff a young lady from the He family into your room in the middle of the night. It will be hard to explain what happened then, and it will be difficult for you to come back." Kang Dabao glared at him unhappily.

Pei Yi also smiled when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Although what the head brother said was a bit humorous, it is not completely impossible. That He family elder brother is also not a simple person."

"How can there be such a ridiculous thing? Senior brother, please stop laughing." After hearing what Kang Dabao said, two red clouds appeared on Jiang Qing's thin face.

The young swordsman's mind was once again filled with the memory of several beautiful female cultivators who always passed by him during his previous visits to the He family. They were fair and somewhat alluring.

"Well, it would be strange if there weren't any." Kang Dabao snorted. Didn't the Taoist know the dirty tricks of these small immortal cultivation families? In order to trick talents into using them for their own benefit, the He family must have done a lot of dirty things.

Even if Xiao Sanzi wants to get married, he has to sell her for a good price and find a good match!

If he waits until he has established his foundation before getting married, maybe he can marry someone who has also established her foundation?

By then, the Chongming Sect will have two foundation-building masters in one sect. Wouldn’t the Taoist be able to walk around Pingrong County with impunity?! Then I will be the ancestor of the revival of the Zhongming Sect! How can I avoid this?!
“I even spent so many spirit stones to bring the second brother back from Xuanwei City. Can’t you see how short-handed the sect is now? What can you achieve by running around outside? Just stay in the sect for the next few years and don’t go anywhere. If you want to go out and act wild, wait until the younger generations are able to shoulder some responsibilities.” Sect Master Kang made the decision without thinking.

Jiang Qing did not dare to talk back. His handsome face flushed with sulking. He ignored everything Kang Dabao said along the way.

Only when Pei Yi looked for him would he respond with a few casual words.

Fortunately, on the way back, Kang Dabao's mind was completely occupied by the treasures stuffed in his storage bag, and he was in no mood to talk to his two junior brothers.

Pei Yi, who was caught in the middle, mistakenly thought that the two brothers were angry with each other, which put him in a very difficult position.

After practicing a few conversations and no one responded, Pei Yi gave up the idea of ​​reconciliation, rode on the black-blooded horse, and turned to think seriously about his own path.

He has been stuck at the bottleneck of the sixth level of Qi training for several years. Now that even Kang Dabao has caught up, he is still making no progress.

It should be noted that the longer a cultivator's bottleneck lasts, the lower the hope of breaking through. How can Pei Yi not be anxious?

"How about I learn from Junior Brother Yuan and get married? See if I can adjust my mood? Well, which female cultivator should I marry?"

Jiang Qing was sulking, Pei Yi was thinking seriously, and Kang Dabao was full of thoughts. Unlike the talkative and cheerful atmosphere before they came, they were almost silent on the way back.

Thinking that the things in the storage bag were too important, Master Kang had no choice but to take his two junior brothers with him to travel early in the morning and stay overnight. In this way, it only took half the time to go there, and Master Kang saw the archway of Chongming Sect.

As soon as the three of them arrived at the central hall, Kang Dabao sent away the younger generations who had come to greet them after hearing the news, and told them to go back and practice well.

Jiang Qing and Pei Yi also had their own concerns and returned to their respective courtyards. Kang Dabao also wanted to go back to the Yunfang to rest for a while.

But Yuan Jin came running over angrily, telling Kang Dabao all the big and small things that happened during his absence, and then went back to the weapon refining room to refine magic tools angrily. Kang Dabao didn't pay much attention to him, and after listening to him, he felt that they were all trivial matters that were not worth mentioning, so he went back to the headmaster's cloud room.

I saw a red array plate arranged in the corner of the Yun room next to the bed.

There is a small animal with a carapace on its back in the array, wrapped in a protective shield made of the scorching sun spiritual energy. The life energy of the small animal inside is very rich, and it is constantly absorbing nutrients from the spiritual energy and growing healthily.

If one wants to carefully cultivate this little wonder sent by the monkey master in order to have a chance to break through to the second level, the cost will certainly not be less than cultivating a core disciple.

Just to consume this small spirit-nourishing array, Master Kang needs to spend about thirty spirit stones every year.

This is not to mention that during Xiaoqi's growth process, he will need to be fed with a lot of various spiritual meats and herbs.

However, the spiritual beasts belonging to "Zang Liu" generally have little output.

If he just kept eating without vomiting, it would become a huge expense for Chongming Emperor over the course of dozens or hundreds of years.

Let’s leave Xiaoqi alone for now. Anyway, seeing how comfortable it looks, it doesn’t really look like a “wild old man”.

Kang Dabao took out the master token, and the big bed in the middle of the cloud room split in half, revealing an extremely narrow passage. He had to turn sideways with his fat body to walk down with difficulty.

Fortunately, the passage was not long. After only half a pack of cigarettes, Master Kang reached the end of the passage and came to the door of a secret room.

The existence of this secret room can be regarded as one of the few things that can be called a "secret" in the Chongming Sect today.

The Chongming Sect has been passed down for nearly two hundred years, and the few important things that are still left were hidden here by Master Kang Dabao before his death.

For example, the "Detailed Explanation of the Seven Columns of the Golden Eyes to Break Delusion" written by Patriarch Zhang himself and the original genealogy he brought from the Zhang family's original sect, the two fundamental collections of the Chongming Sect, are all placed here.

Lian Kang Dabao only knew about the existence of this secret room when his master was on his deathbed. The latter had said that if he made a mistake in building his foundation, he would not be able to find the secret room. Even if he found it, he would not be able to open it for the time being.

When those uncles split up the clan, they thought they had wiped out the Chongming Sect, but in fact, they did not find this core place.

However, even if they were found, it wouldn't be a big problem, because the secret room only contained the two basic collections mentioned earlier.

Master Kang stood at the door of the secret room, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and thought about finding a time to make the passage wider later.

Then he pushed open a stone door that was one meter high. The secret room was not big, only two meters in diameter, and the ceiling was less than ten meters high.

Even though it was so small, the secret room still looked empty. There were only two emerald jade slips leaning against a black wooden shelf, hugging each other for warmth and relying on each other for survival.

"Except for the founder of the sect, my master and me, these head masters are more wasteful than the other."

Kang Dabao couldn't remember how many times he had complained in his heart, he only remembered that he would complain every time he came here.

"Hey, if you didn't accept me, the founder of the revival of the Chinese nation, as your leader, how could you, the unworthy disciples, be worthy of Grandmaster Zhang? Look, I will fill this place up today!"

Master Kang took out the treasures from the storage bag one by one, checked them one by one, and placed them on the corresponding wooden shelves.

"It seems that the prototype of a magic weapon, it seems that the third-level talisman, the low-grade Zhou-level skill "Water Moon Dividing Light Jue" can be cultivated to the early stage of the golden elixir, two foundation-building pills, one inch of purple Chen wood, the high-grade Hong-level skill "Yi Mu Changqing Jue" can be cultivated to the perfection of the golden elixir, the low-grade Hong-level skill "Purple Dragon Leaving Fire Jue" can be cultivated to the perfection of the foundation, one bucket of flowing light sand, and one Liuhe Zhengyang date."

The seemingly inconspicuous black wooden frame in this secret room is actually a magical tool.

As long as someone puts an object there and pronounces the name of the object clearly, the green nameplate under the position will automatically change the name into cloud seal characters.

How should I put it, it is a bit useless, but after all, it can still reflect some of the heritage of the former great sect that established its foundation.

After the final inventory, Master Kang discovered that there were still many spiritual materials and objects that he did not recognize. It was hard to say whether there was anything better than the prototype of a magic weapon among them.

This put him in a dilemma. The sect's expenses were quite high, and the spiritual fields had just been opened up, so the output was not high. It would be good enough if he could just break even.

The only thing that can be considered an industry, the Chongming Building, can only make a little money now, not to mention that so much capital was invested in it before. It can only barely make back the money after a few years. It has been extremely difficult to provide blood transfusion to the Chongming Sect in recent years.

Therefore, according to the original intention of Master Kang, he wanted to pick out some unused spiritual objects from the gains this time and take them to the auction in Hancheng to exchange them for some spiritual stones.

But the spiritual materials I know are all rare and good things. They are easy to sell but hard to buy.

If you sell a spiritual material you don't recognize, you're afraid of being cheated and selling it at a low price.

"Hey, it seems that I still need to find time to hand in the heads of the four ghosts of the Liu family in exchange for spirit stones. I also want to keep them as reserves first."
