God of Pets

Chapter 60: Not as Good as the Warring States Period
Chen Guan entered the Pingdu Mountain blessed land again. The light and shadow in front of him changed, and soon he appeared in a valley.

"No way, am I still on July 15th Island?" Chen Guan was a little surprised. The environment here was too similar to that of July 15th Island.

Soon Chen Guan discovered that this was not the July 15th Island. Although it was a remote mountainous area, he could still see many human practitioners walking in the mountains.

Some practitioners run on their legs, climbing over eaves and walls, and their lightness skills seem to be very amazing.

Some practitioners travel by riding mounts, and the types of mounts are mostly cows and horses, and the ghost-headed horses and ghost-headed cows are also the most common on the July 15th Island.

There are also some other types of pet mounts that all look eerie and not very sunny and beautiful.

As for the ghost-headed sheep and ghost-headed eagle, there was not a single one to be seen here.

Chen Guan knew that he had finally arrived at the ordinary area of ​​Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land. Many of the secret realms that had been developed for many years had a large population of practitioners, which was a very normal situation.

After the Ten Heavenly Kings reorganized the ancestral temple, the population has been growing explosively due to the resources in the secret realm.

Before the Emperor entered the Secret Realm of the Sky, the population of Shenzhou had reached nearly 100 billion. However, due to the subsequent chaos in the world, by the time the Ten Heavenly Kings rebuilt the ancestral court, the population had almost fallen below 10 billion. It can be said that in that dark and turbulent era, less than one in ten people survived.

Even though the population has exceeded 200 billion, the permanent population of China is actually only a few billion, and most people live in secret places all year round.

Many secret realms have developed into megacities, and major forces also have their own cities in the secret realms.

Chen Guan asked around and learned that the area he was currently in was called the Ghost King Mountains, which was within the sphere of influence of the "Samsara City".

Samsara City is the city of merchants among the ten major families, and the head of the merchant family is the King of Shang among the Ten Heavenly Kings.

Because Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land is not a private secret place of any one family, not only merchants, but also the top ten families have their own cities in Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land, and even some other small families have built cities here.

It can be said that most of the areas that have been explored in Pingdu Mountain Paradise are now owned by owners, and the territories between various forces are clearly divided.

The secret spirits in each area appear to be wild, but they actually have a home.

If Chen Guan wants to kill the secret spirit here, he can only join a certain force, or pay a certain entrance fee, or go to areas that have not yet been explored and developed.

Unexplored and undeveloped areas are places that even high-level practitioners cannot conquer. Going to those places now is tantamount to committing suicide, so Chen Guan can only choose to join a certain force or pay an entrance fee.

Now Chen Guan has begun to miss the July 15th Island. The secret spirits there can be killed at will, and there are so many high-quality secret spirits. It is not easy to find such a good place again.

Fortunately, those places with only level 1 and level 2 secret spirits are not surrounded by big forces, so you can go there without paying any fees.

Seeing that he was safe and would not be threatened by the secret spirit, Chen Guan went to find a deserted place and used the tomb owner's skull bracelet as quickly as possible.

The bracelet made of skulls broke into pieces, and the blood threads inside drilled into Chen Guan's arm like parasites, and then frantically devoured Chen Guan's body's vitality and some unknown substances.

Soon, the blood vessels had turned black, Chen Guan's level continued to decrease, and his vitality decreased accordingly.

Until the level returned to level 1, the blood vessels that had turned pitch black turned into black smoke and rose up and dissipated, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.

"My spiritual journey is about to truly begin." Chen Guan began to practice the secret method of one.

As the Secret Method of One was activated, the vital energy of heaven and earth surged into Chen Guan's body like a toilet with the flush button pressed. After just one cycle of the Secret Method of One, Chen Guan's level was unexpectedly promoted to Level 2.

Chen Guan was both surprised and delighted. This secret method was truly unexpected. He could actually be promoted to a higher level just by absorbing the free vital energy of heaven and earth in the secret realm.

However, although it is easy to advance in level, Chen Guan is worried that the growth rate may not be high.

After all, the Emperor created this secret method just to allow humans to practice on their own, and he did not specify that the growth rate must be a certain level.

If the growth rate of this secret technique cannot reach the level of the peerless secret technique, Chen Guan will have to look for another peerless secret technique.

He immediately looked inward at his own information to see what level this secret technique was.

Practitioner: Level 2.

Vitality: 2.

Innate talent: Soul of the Cheerleader (top secret).

Top secret file: The ultimate in infinity.

Secret Techniques: Nameless Secret Technique (Unknown), Immortal Stealing Killing Technique (Unique), Longevity Technique (Ordinary).

Secret skills: Blood Handprint (rare), Blood Sacrifice Magic (unique).

Secret Treasures: Shita Leather Boots (Common), Shita Half-Board (Rare).

Secret Spirits: Warring States (Ordinary), Bloody Evil Cute Rabbit (Unique), Mutated Tomb Master (Unique), Ming Fei (Unique).

Chen Guan was stunned. He was promoted to level 2, but his vitality was only 2 points. Level 1 already had 1 point. In other words, practicing the secret method of one only added 1 point of vitality to the next level, and the growth rate was only 1.0. This growth rate was lower than that of the Warring States Period and even worse than that of a dog.

"No way... the secret method created by the Emperor... can't be so rubbish..." Chen Guan didn't believe it at all, but he had to face the facts.

He looked at it countless times, and the result was always the same. The level 2 vitality was only 2, without even a decimal point, which meant it had increased by a whole point of vitality.

Chen Guan felt like his heart was about to explode. The secret method he had obtained with great difficulty turned out to be so rubbish.

Now he no longer has the secret treasure to rebuild his skills. If he wants to start over, he can only spend a lot of money to buy it. However, sometimes the precious secret treasure for rebuilding may not be available for purchase even with money.

"The secret method of Yi cannot be so rubbish. Could it be that Ming Fei deceived me? Did she give me a fake secret method?" Chen Guan thought about it and felt that it was impossible.

That massive work of hundreds of thousands of words could never have been created by a secret spirit. After all, many of the knowledge points and cultural heritage contained in it could only be written by human civilization, and it is impossible for a secret spirit to have created it.

What's more, one needs to understand the River Map, Luoshu and the Book of Changes in order to find the true set of exercises from the masterpiece, which is not something that the mysterious spirit can understand.

Chen Guan believes that the Secret Method of One should be true, but if it is not true, why is the growth rate of the Secret Method of One so low?
"Could it be that the growth rate of the Secret Method One is very low, but it has special effects?" Chen Guan stopped practicing and prepared to test what effect the Secret Method One had.

Walking out of the deserted place, Chen Guan came to the area of ​​lonely souls and wild ghosts. Lonely souls and wild ghosts are two kinds of secret spirits, and they are also the most common secret spirits in Pingdu Mountain Blessed Land. They are generally level 1 or 2, with low combat effectiveness, and can only attack by means such as biting. The more powerful ones will have the secret skill of screaming, which can enhance their own combat effectiveness and also scare the enemy. It can be regarded as an auxiliary secret skill, but the effect is very limited.
