Chapter 17 Waiting for a Rabbit to Run into a Tree Stump
Beyond the simulation, Zhou Qing was invigorated.
Before the second simulation, Zhou Qing had made a complete plan based on the information and intelligence obtained from the first simulation.
This secret realm is an important part of the plan.
This secret realm will not only allow Zhou Qing to gain benefits in this simulation.
If the plan goes smoothly.
From now on, we can come and harvest once during each simulation.
It's equivalent to a hen that lays golden eggs.
"The Secret Realm of the Sea of Clouds..."
Detailed information about this secret realm surfaced in Zhou Qing's mind.
This information naturally came from the first simulation, decades after the secret realm was created.
Detailed information about the Cloud Sea Secret Realm was considered top secret during the years following its emergence, possessing extremely high value, and no cultivator was willing to reveal it.
After all, having detailed intelligence could lead to significant gains within the secret realm.
However, as time passed, the Cloud Sea Secret Realm was gradually hollowed out, and fewer and fewer cultivators entered the secret realm to explore it. Only then did the top-secret information about this secret realm begin to circulate.
That's the magic of time.
Some valuable information may become common knowledge after decades or centuries.
......
The so-called secret realm is a space that is independent of heaven and earth. These spaces are isolated from the outside world. After being discovered by cultivators or forces, they are utilized and transformed, and are operated as their own lair.
The Cloud Sea Secret Realm is a secret realm operated by a force called the "Cloud Sea Sect".
According to the information Zhou Qing gleaned from his first simulation, the Cloud Sea Sect is a powerful force at the Core Formation level with profound foundations.
However, two or three hundred years ago, for some unknown reason, it suddenly disappeared. Most of the disciples in the sect went missing, and those who survived have basically all died after two or three hundred years.
Even for Foundation Establishment stage cultivators, the maximum lifespan is only two hundred years.
Most Foundation Establishment cultivators do not live for more than two hundred years; they often pass away in their 190s.
A lifespan of two hundred years is the ideal state, requiring that the Foundation Establishment cultivator's physical body be free from any hidden injuries or hidden dangers.
However, the world of cultivation is ever-changing. Which Foundation Establishment cultivator can guarantee that they will not be injured? Even without fighting with cultivators of the same realm, it is easy to leave hidden dangers during the cultivation breakthrough process.
"So, in the first simulation, the cultivators who entered this secret realm weren't just at the Qi Refining stage..."
"After all, it's a secret realm left behind by a Core Formation level power, so there will definitely be Foundation Establishment stage cultivators interested in it."
Zhou Qing thought to himself.
In the first simulation, his level was too low; when the secret realm was created, he was only at the second level of Qi Refining.
Even after decades, when information about many secret realms becomes less hidden, it is still difficult to obtain information that far surpasses one's own level.
"Never mind all that. In this simulation, I don't intend to completely seize all the resources within the Cloud Sea Secret Realm. I just need to keep an eye on Ye Feng."
Zhou Qing thought to herself silently.
They can't deal with those late-stage Qi Refining cultivators or Foundation Establishment cultivators.
They can't even handle Ye Feng, who's only at the early stage of Qi Refining?
Zhou Qing also plans to gather more information and intelligence related to the Cloud Sea Secret Realm during this simulation.
During the last simulation, his highest achievement was only the fifth level of Qi Refining, a mid-grade alchemist.
This simulation guarantees at least late-stage Qi Refining and high-grade alchemy mastery, a level far exceeding that of the first simulation.
If one is willing to inquire, one will surely be able to obtain more detailed information.
The news of the emergence of the secret realm quickly spread to Wushan Market, causing a great stir among the many cultivators there.
[Especially for many cultivators who are stuck at a bottleneck, the secret realm is their hope for breaking through.]
In an instant, a large number of cultivators rushed towards the Cloud Sea Secret Realm.
You quietly observe the unfolding situation; everything is exactly the same as during the first simulation.
[At the Yun Clan's Pill Workshop, Ye Feng knelt on the ground, pleading in a low voice, "Master Yun, with my spiritual root aptitude, I may never reach the late stage of Qi Refining in my entire life. Now that a secret realm has appeared, I beg Master Yun to grant my wish..."]
A cultivator with a mid-grade spiritual root has a chance to advance to the late stage of Qi Refining and then attempt to break through to Foundation Establishment.
But that's based on the premise of focusing all efforts on cultivation.
As Master Yun's apprentice, Ye Feng spent most of his time working for Master Yun, leaving him with very little time for his own cultivation.
"You're only at the third level of Qi Refining, and you want to explore the secret realm? Do you know how many cultivators stronger than you have died trying to explore such secret realms?"
[Master Yun sat in the main seat, frowning as he looked at Ye Feng]
[Master Yun was truly thinking of Ye Feng's best interests. He had seen too many people like Ye Feng, full of ambition but dying quietly.]
"If I truly die while exploring this hidden realm, then so be it."
Ye Feng continued to plead.
Master Yun remained silent, clearly considering the matter.
You sit beside him, quietly watching Ye Feng kneeling on the ground.
"Brother Yun, everyone has their own ambitions."
You spoke first.
"Fine."
Master Yun Dan nodded.
He also wanted to help Ye Feng achieve his goal.
After all, if Yun Danshi rejected Ye Feng, and the latter harbored resentment, he would have a headache.
"Thank you very much, Master Yun. Thank you very much, Master Wang."
Ye Feng kowtowed in gratitude.
"Don't thank me yet."
[Master Yun Dan remained expressionless. "If you want me to break the spirit contract, you'll need to give me one hundred spirit stones."]
【"good."】
Ye Feng immediately agreed.
At Master Yun's wave, Ye Feng hurriedly went down to collect spirit stones.
You then took the opportunity to say goodbye.
On your way out of the Pill Workshop, you intentionally passed by Ye Feng.
"I have met Master Wang Dan."
Ye Feng immediately bowed, after all, you had just spoken up for him.
【"Um."】
You patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, "Get out of the secret realm alive."
Ye Feng was flattered and immediately said, "Thank you very much, Alchemist Wang."
[Unbeknownst to you, the moment you patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, you had already planted three tracking spells on him.]
Over the past twenty years, you have mastered three tracking spells, and several years ago, you achieved mastery over these three spells.
Over the next few days, you continued to observe Ye Feng.
[You're worried that without you, Ye Feng might not be able to gather the hundred spirit stones.]
Unexpectedly, after Ye Feng's persistent pleading, several apprentices actually lent him some spirit stones.
[Having read this far, are you ready to start preparing?]
You first announced to the public that you would be going into seclusion.
Then, concealing his aura, he left the cave, disguising himself as a burly man wearing a bamboo hat.
[Hiding in a corner near the market exit]
Half a day later, you saw Ye Feng leaving the market.
Ye Feng had also gone through a disguise, but naturally, he couldn't hide it from you.
After leaving the market, Ye Feng headed towards the Cloud Sea Secret Realm.
You, on the other hand, followed behind Ye Feng, intending to wait and ambush him.
