Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

Ji Zhaojun was stunned for a moment, then realized that this meant the other party agreed to be friends with her, and she responded immediately.

"I wonder what the fairy has, do you need Zhaojun's help?"

……

……

After a brief exchange, Keqing accepted the map of Thunder Realm with satisfaction and digested the information given by the other party.

Then he politely escorted the other person out the door.

It can be regarded as a simple way of acknowledging this friend.

"Master, is it necessary? Do we have to be involved with this family?"

"If it's news about the Thunder Realm, you can get it through other means. There's no need to get involved with these noble families for nothing."

A little coal ball at the side suddenly popped up and asked in confusion.

Chapter 156: The Path of Cultivation is Complicated

"It's just to be involved..."

Keqing shrugged instead.

"Huh? Why?"

"To cultivate the true self, one must be free from desires and requests, and be free from cause and effect. Ultimately, one can reach the spiritual and martial path and transcend the ordinary world to become an immortal."

"Well, that's what the introductory manual to cultivation sent by Master said..."

Stroking the ends of her hair and looking in the direction where Ji Zhaojun left, Keqing pondered.

"However, how can a person live in this world without any attachments and dust in his heart? Family members, friends, and trivial matters in life, I have seen a lot of these when I was Yuheng... well, when I was in my hometown."

"Even if they are immortals, can they be absolutely free from karma? That may not be the case... I see that those cultivators are busy and obsessed with spiritual stones, families, and advancement, and are caught up in all kinds of desires."

"So I think I can't avoid it..."

"Why? Isn't this good? Can you always do this?"

Seeing that Little Coal Ball didn't understand, Keqing explained reluctantly.

"Ever since I came to this world, I have inevitably been involved with the people of this world, Wanran, Xiyue, and Master."

"They are my friends and elders. As we spend more time together, our feelings and ties will only grow deeper."

"Since it cannot be avoided, then don't avoid it. Instead, grasp it. This way, you will have the initiative."

Keqing sighed.

"Ji Zhaojun is interested in my talent, so why should I not value her status?"

"Master, are you also the kind of person who likes to cling to others?"

The little coal ball widened his eyes.

"What nonsense! I am attracted by the Ji family behind her and the connections of the young master of the Ji family."

Keqing raised her hand and flicked her index finger, and the small coal ball flew far away.

"Ah! Master, you are bullying me."

"I don't need fools around me. You said I'm a genius. As a genius, do you think your master needs to rely on someone, or am I not a big shot?"

"I just want their information channels and their connections. With connections, I can explore secret places and get other information in the future.

It will be much easier to obtain.”

"Just like there is no news about Wanran this time, if I have any connection with the Ji family, I can ask them to help me find out. I believe that as the party A who invested in me, they should not be unwilling to help with such a small matter?"

Keqing put her hands on her hips and stared at the little coal ball.

"So, do you understand?"

"I understand, I understand! Master, I understand. You are so smart!"

Little Coal Ball suddenly understood, and looked as if he understood, but he was mumbling in his heart.

In fact, I’m worried about your Xiao Wanwan!

Alas, when you see beauty, you forget about coal balls.

You are worried about that guy, but you don't know that he has already regarded you as his meal and is waiting to enjoy you.

Oh, that’s not right. Given the owner’s personality, it’s not certain who will enjoy it.

Little Coal Ball unconsciously fell into a strange fantasy.

Although this woman is not as scheming as Xiyue, but boiling a frog in warm water is not bad, maybe...

No, no, you can tell from the first glance that the master is not the shy type of person. Maybe he’ll discover the other person’s little thoughts and even push him against the wall.

Maybe he would even lift the other person's chin and smile evilly.

Said: ...

"Speaking of what?!"

Seeing a big face suddenly appear in front of him, Little Coal Ball was startled!

"No, I didn't say anything!"

It hurriedly covered up!

It turns out that I accidentally said what was in my heart just now!

But fortunately, it only said the latter part and did not reveal the former part. So looking at Keqing's suspicious eyes, the little coal ball tensed its face and turned away guiltily.

"Forget it. Since you are so free, why don't you help me farm. It just so happens that my master gave me a lot of spiritual plants, and there is spiritual energy in the Chen Ge pot. Maybe I can grow some of them."

The little coal ball looked bitter.

"Master, I'm still a child..."

"A thousand-year-old child?"

Faced with the look from his master, the little coal ball had to give in.

Ying Ying Ying.

The next day finally arrived after Xiao Meiqiu's physical labor.

This day was the day when the secret realm was opened. Keqing had already packed the necessary things, told the housekeeper, asked him to bring a message to Wanran, and then went to the Jiang family.

Chapter 157 Betting (Two in One)

In theory, as long as you get the key to the secret realm, you can enter the secret realm directly when it opens.

The rules of each secret realm and the rules of the big world are mutually inclusive and exclusive. The gap between the two spaces is even more chaotic, and is mixed with the void storm.

The key acts as a mediator. Having the key means not being afraid of the chaos and being summoned directly into the secret realm.

This is the case for most secret realms, but there are a few special ones where the key to the secret realm is not just a key, but also has other functions.

For example, screening, or some kind of test, or summoning secret devices, of course, I won’t go into details about these.

In short, although the Thunder Realm was once the realm of gods, it has been ownerless for millions of years and has become a small world of its own. Therefore, the function of the secret realm key is no different from that of most secret realms. It is just a tool for opening doors, and it is a one-time identity key.

Originally, after obtaining the key, Keqing could go directly to the Thunder Realm.

Ahem, but she didn’t know where the Thunder Realm was.

Yes, she doesn't know.

It’s not that Keqing didn’t inquire and make preparations. After all, the secret realm was located near Lingshan, which she knew a little about.

It was just because when Keqing got the key, she also heard the message from Senior Jiang.

"The ninth day, the hour of Chen, no one will wait after that time."

The meaning is clear as soon as you hear it.

The other party asked him to come to Jiang Mansion at seven in the morning on the ninth day of the first lunar month.

Therefore, Keqing did not delay at this point, but arrived at the gate of Jiang Mansion half an hour in advance.

The guards still remembered her face. After all, this female monk was a rare person who even their young master Jiang Zizheng cared about. That day at the gate of Jiang's mansion, there was no cover, and everyone could see that the other party looked moved.

It was truly unprecedented. I never thought that the dull-witted Young Master Zi Zheng would actually like this type of female cultivator. The news spread throughout the Jiang family in no time. Now everyone was discussing who the female cultivator in front of them was and why she was favored by Young Master Zi Zheng.

Of course, it is undeniable that the female cultivator in front of him is indeed outstanding. Not to mention her appearance, her temperament alone is extremely rare.

Obviously, the guards had been given instructions long ago, and when they saw it was Keqing, they quickly ordered them to wait for a while and then went to the mansion to notify her.

After a while, a young woman with a steady temperament came out.

"Is it Fairy Ke? I am the housekeeper of Lanting Garden. Elder Jiang has already instructed me to take you to the competition arena if you come."

"The competition arena? Senior Jiang...do you have any other instructions?"

Keqing couldn't help but ask.

The housekeeper in front of him said nothing, just smiled slightly and did not answer directly.

"The elder didn't give any other instructions, he just said to lead you to the competition arena..."

Keqing nodded slightly.

"I see... Thank you for your help then."

With the housekeeper leading the way, Keqing followed the housekeeper into the gate of Jiang Mansion.

Following the butler's winding paths, we passed by the surrounding pavilions and towers, and the unique layout of the ancient style.

After a while, Keqing arrived at a huge square.

That is the Jiang family’s fighting arena.

At this time, there were already a bunch of people waiting in the arena to communicate with each other. When they saw Keqing coming, they all stole their eyes.

Among these gazes, there was indifference, curiosity, scrutiny, and some disdain.

Keqing took a quick glance.

There were actually over a hundred people in Norda's arena.

There were three small groups in total, standing in twos and threes. In the end, the largest group was nearly half of the people. They were wearing silver and gold, and had a noble temperament. The utensils they wore were all silk and satin, gorgeous and at a glance, they were all spiritual weapons.

You can tell where they are from at a glance. Who else could they be besides the Jiang family?

The distinction between the remaining two was also very obvious, most of them were in twos and threes, wearing the clothes of their own sects, with ethereal air floating in the air when waving their sleeves, looking outstanding in temperament and with a serious expression, it was obvious that they were members of the sect.

Among them, there seemed to be a group of people wearing purple-blue sect uniforms with stars embroidered on their bodies. It was obvious that they were the disciples of Meteor Mansion.

The sect should also have quotas. Are these people here because their quotas come from the Jiang family?

Seeing that there were less than ten people in Meteor Mansion, Keqing felt that her guess was probably correct.

As for the rest, there is no need to mention them. Just looking at their patchy clothes and magical instruments, as well as their inconsistent images, they must be independent cultivators without a doubt.

However, Keqing will not underestimate them. The independent cultivators who can obtain a place in the secret realm are not ordinary independent cultivators. In terms of talent and skills, they cannot compare with the other two groups, but in terms of combat experience, independent cultivators are much stronger than the disciples of the sect.

Of course, the premise is that ordinary sect disciples, and those who are taught by the true disciples, not to mention the many trump cards and various resources on their bodies, the skills they have learned are very different. If a casual cultivator wants to win by relying on combat experience, it is like an ant trying to shake an elephant.

"I'll take you here. Elder Jiang will be here soon."

Keqing nodded slightly, and waited until the housekeeper left. She had no intention of looking for an organization to join, but just found a corner and closed her eyes to rest.

In fact, it is the practice of the Seven Changes of Star Shining.

The starlight is dim during the day, but that does not mean it does not exist. You can still practice it.

Moreover, sunlight mixed with starlight is absorbed into the body. Others may not be able to consume the power in it, but because Keqing has the Great Sun Divine Thunder, not only can the starlight be used to reflect the stars and practice martial arts, but even the sunlight can be consumed very well and turned into nutrients for the divine thunder.

There are many people like her who like to be alone, so Keqing's actions did not attract the attention of most people.

However, his own temperament could not be concealed, not to mention that the one who came was such a beautiful girl, which still attracted the attention of others.

Whether it is someone from Meteor Mansion or someone from the Jiang family.

It was just that the people in Meteor Mansion only vaguely sensed something when Keqing was practicing, and they looked over.

"Brother? What's wrong? Is there something wrong with that female cultivator?"

A young boy with a fresh face couldn't help but ask when he saw his indifferent senior brother actually glanced at a female cultivator for the first time.

"Nothing... I just vaguely felt a familiar presence. It must be an illusion."
