Two days later, at noon.

The kitchen staff came and went quickly.

Two thousand five hundred blue carp and five hundred spirit sheep chickens were counted and bagged, and the entire transaction was completed in just one hour.

Chen Qing stood with his hands behind his back on the shore of Half Moon Lake, silently calculating the profits from this batch.

Two thousand five hundred blue carp, each worth three spirit stones, totaling 8250 spirit stones; five hundred spirit sheep chickens, each worth two spirit stones, totaling 1050 spirit stones; the two items together amount to 9300 spirit stones.

After deducting the cost of feed, transportation and other miscellaneous expenses for the year, the net profit is approximately 4100 yuan.

He received 60%, which was 2460 yuan.

Including his gains in the Lin Yuan Secret Realm, he now has around 4800 low-grade spirit stones and 10 mid-grade spirit stones.

now.

Xu Xian was sitting cross-legged on a blue stone by the lake, her face tense as she worked hard to circulate the first level of the "Canglan Technique".

Five-year-old Xu Xian's meridians were not yet fully developed, making it much more difficult for him to guide spiritual energy into his body than for an adult. However, he remained silent, biting his lip, and was very stubborn.

Chen Qing glanced at it and nodded slightly.

Xu Xian possessed the four spiritual roots of metal, water, fire, and earth, so Chen Qing taught him the "Canglan Technique" to lay a foundation. Unlike the "Flowing Wind Escape" and other techniques that Chen Qing had purchased from the Scripture Pavilion, the "Canglan Technique" was a common technique in the Canglan Domain, and the Lingyun Sect didn't care about it.

Xu Yueniang left yesterday, heading to the heart of the Wu Kingdom.

Xu Yueniang possesses five spiritual roots. Let alone Foundation Establishment, she doesn't know how many years it will take to even reach the mid-stage of Qi Refining. Therefore, her only thought is to continue the Xu family line and allow those clansmen without spiritual roots to live out their mortal lives peacefully in the heart of the Martial Kingdom.

"Uncle Chen, I've mastered it!"

Xu Xian sat cross-legged on a blue stone by the lake, his small face tense, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead; the faint spiritual energy in his dantian actually slowly circled around the route of the first level of the "Canglan Technique".

Chen Qing nodded slightly, preparing to offer a few words of encouragement.

however.

Just then.

A beam of light, reaching to the heavens and the earth, appeared without warning on the southwestern horizon!

The pillar of light was as red as blood, incredibly thick, shooting straight up from the ground into the sky, dyeing half the sky an eerie red. The top of the pillar of light spread outwards, like a giant blood-red flower blooming in the sky, and an indescribable surge of spiritual energy swept over it.

Chen Qing leaped into the air and gazed into the distance.

The crimson pillar of light hung in the southwest sky, with a huge crack in the middle, opening and closing, sometimes bright and sometimes dark, like the earth's open crimson eye, or a gateway to an unknown world.

"This is----"

Chen Qing's pupils suddenly contracted, a thought flashing through his mind, and he blurted out: "A fourth-tier secret realm!"

His voice trembled slightly.

A fourth-tier secret realm—that's a secret realm corresponding to the Nascent Soul stage!

Although the Canglan Domain is vast and has numerous cultivation sects, fourth-order secret realms do not appear very often.

Each occurrence is separated by hundreds or even thousands of years, and each appearance in the world means that the entire Canglan Domain's格局 (geju, a term referring to the overall situation or structure) will be shaken up.

This level of secret realm contains a large number of rare and precious natural treasures that are of great use to Nascent Soul cultivators, including ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs, otherworldly magical artifacts, rare spiritual materials, and life-extending treasures—and even heaven-defying opportunities that can help Nascent Soul cultivators break through the bottleneck of the Divine Transformation realm.

The value of the being who controls the core of the secret realm and possesses the fourth-order "Origin Core of All Things" is immeasurable!

"The Blood Soul Sect has suddenly mobilized a large force—" Chen Qing muttered to himself, "This is probably not just a simple border skirmish. Did the higher-ups of the Blood Soul Sect already know that this secret realm was about to appear?"

Chen Qing's eyes flickered as he quickly made a mental calculation.

wrong!

If the Blood Soul Sect had known about the appearance of a fourth-tier secret realm, then the people they gathered in large numbers should not have been the low-level cultivators of the Qian Kingdom's affiliated forces, but rather their own Nascent Soul ancestors and Golden Core True Monarchs!

"Unless—" Chen Qing's eyes narrowed, "What the Blood Soul Sect wants isn't this secret realm. They want to take advantage of the fact that the Nascent Soul elders of the Lingyun Sect are all drawn to the secret realm and have no time to attend to the border, to seize the Martial Kingdom in one fell swoop!"

The moment this thought crossed Chen Qing's mind, he felt a cold sweat run down his back.

This conjecture is completely untenable. How could the Blood Soul Sect know when a fourth-tier secret realm would appear if it appeared randomly? The strongest spiritual vein in the Martial Kingdom is only a second-tier high-grade one. What is there for them to covet?

But if that's really the case, then the situation in the three northern states of Wu Kingdom is a hundred times worse than Chen Qing had anticipated!

Chen Qing bit his tongue, forcing himself to calm down. He subconsciously looked towards the northwest, towards the Abyss Secret Realm, Lu Chen Star!

The reason why that Uncle Lu was stationed at the border was to obtain the Myriad Manifestations Source Core of the Lin Yuan Secret Realm, accumulate sect contributions, and exchange them for resources to break through to the Nascent Soul stage.

Now that a fourth-tier secret realm has appeared, it naturally contains many rare and precious materials that are of great benefit to Golden Core cultivators breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage.

A sense of foreboding welled up in Chen Qing's heart.

The next moment, the premonition came true!

In the northwest, a golden sun suddenly rose, its light shining brightly, and it streaked across the sky at an astonishing speed, rushing toward the scarlet pillar of blood in the southwest!

The momentum and speed were many times faster than when they came in April.

Lu Chenxing is gone.

Chen Qing's expression changed slightly.

With a peak Golden Core cultivator in charge, the safety of the three northern states of the Martial Kingdom was guaranteed, and the Qian Kingdom dared not act rashly.

But now Lu Chenxing is gone!

The Blood Soul Sect has gathered its cultivators and will attack Wu Kingdom within a month at the latest. This was said by Yao Qi herself half a month ago, and it completely matches the information Chen Qing obtained using the Soul-Seizing Technique.

In the past, with a Golden Core Peak cultivator in charge, as long as a Nascent Soul Ancestor didn't intervene, those demonic cultivators would have to think twice. But now that a fourth-tier secret realm has appeared, the Lingyun Sect's higher-ups will definitely shift their focus to competing for the secret realm, so they won't have time to worry about border skirmishes.

"Xu Xian!"

Chen Qing flew back to the ground and picked up the little guy who was still meditating cross-legged.

Xu Xian was startled by him, opened her eyes, and asked in a daze, "Uncle Chen, what's wrong?"

"There's no time to explain." Chen Qing put Xu Xian on the ground, patted the spirit beast bag, and began to fill it with things.

Fifty-seven blue carp breeding fish, not one missing; more than sixty spirit sheep chickens, caught and herded, not caring about the flying feathers, these were all excellent breeding stock he had painstakingly cultivated over the past three years, he would feel heartbroken to lose even one of them.

Silver Moon was crouching at the entrance of the small building, her eerie green eyes blinking as she uttered a soft, sweet voice: "Chen Qing, what's wrong?"

"Moving." Chen Qing said succinctly, waving his hand to put Silver Moon into his spirit beast pouch, and then called out to Dan Yu and Qing Tian, ​​"Let's go, don't dawdle."

Qingtian was squatting on a stone bench reading "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" when he heard this and was taken aback: "Where are you going?"

"Return to Lingyun Sect."

"Now?"

"Now! Master Xu is right. When it's time to make a decision, make a decision; when it's time to retreat, retreat. Don't let hesitation hold you back."

That's all.

Chen Qing scooped up Xu Xian and leaped onto the Azure Wind Boat. He activated his magic, preparing to head towards the Lingyun Sect. However, the next moment, Chen Qing stopped in mid-air, outside the Azure Water Ring Spirit Array—

someone!
