MEIWITA Chapter 727: Secret Masters

An hour later, Lou Mu Yan returned to the Mercenary Union with Hall Master Rong.

“Hall Master, are the tokens needed to enter Cang’lan Secret Realm auctioned?” She felt a little strange when she heard the Ancestor of the Mercenary Union say this, but she didn’t ask at the time.

Rong Liao explained with a smile: “There are countless secret realms in the Four Realms on Guang’ling World, but many of them could only be exploration places for advanced-level powerhouses to seek fortuitous opportunities. Very few of the large secret realms would be used as trial grounds for pupils of major forces. The Cang’lan Secret Realm is considered one of them.

“People under Unification Realm could all enter, but they need to hold tokens of the five attributes of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth to enter. Each token could bring six people in.

“The tokens of Cang’lan Secret Realm are randomly generated and would be scattered in different places. Occasionally, it’d even be scattered in the lower interfaces, but most of them would be collected by the Hidden City, then auctioned at an auction held by the Hidden City.”

“Then what if you can’t collect some?” Lou Mu Yan continued to ask.

“Under normal circumstances, more than two-thirds of the tokens could be collected. The means of the Hidden City are extraordinary.”

Rong Liao paused, then said: “The other tokens that haven’t been collected generally fall into the hands of people who don’t know the purpose and are wasted, or people who obtained the tokens but don’t want to trade them and eventually bring six people in to seek opportunities.”

“I see.” Lou Mu Yan nodded.

“Sword Masters at Unification Realm can’t enter Cang’lan Secret Realm, but there are many dangers lurking. Many people at Heaven Elemental Realm still enter and perish, so you must be careful after entering.”

Rong Liao changed the topic and said with a smile: “However, danger also represents opportunity. Although Cang’lan Secret Realm has opened hundreds of times, but there are still quite a lot of treasures inside.”

“Then there should be very few good things on the periphery right.” Lou Mu Yan raised an eyebrow and said with a smile.

“That’s natural, and it’s unavoidable.” Rong Liao said: “But don’t worry, the Cang’lan Secret Realm only opens once every millennium, and there will be many spiritual items or treasures birthed in the periphery again. If you are fated, then it’ll still be a bountiful harvest.”

“Is the centre of Cang’lan Secret Realm very dangerous?” Lou Mu Yan’s eyes radiated a bright light.

Rong Liao replied: “Very dangerous. Even Unification Realm powerhouses might not be able to pass through the central area safely and smoothly.

“Of course, there are also many lucky people who will go deep into the central area by mistake and obtain a lot of treasures, but such examples are very rare.” He added.

“Mm, I understand.”

After returning to the Mercenary Union, Lou Mu Yan didn’t go into seclusion immediately. An Yu Qian and the other two took her to familiarise herself with the Mercenary Union, and she researched Cang’lan Secret Realm in the encrypted library of the Mercenary Union.

Three days later, the payment from the four major forces for the Spirit Gathering Array was sent over and Lou Mu Yan shut the palace tightly and began seclusion.

This time, she mainly refined talismans and array balls. Cang’lan Secret Realm was very dangerous, and Sword Masters from various forces in the Human Realm often fought over a spiritual item after entering.

It’d be better for her to refine more things for self-defence.

After refining a large number of talismans and array balls, she refined a batch of grade 8 pills for consumption by her spirit pets.

Time passed by and a month later, Lou Mu Yan received a summons from Hall Master Rong.

When she reached the third floor, there were also five others standing inside, including An Yu Qian and Xia Xuan Ye, and one woman and two men that she had never seen before.

“Lou girl is here.” Hall Master Rong’s attitude towards Lou Mu Yan was rather amiable, and he said with a smile: “This time, the six of you will enter Cang’lan Secret Realm from the Mercenary Union. Come meet the Senior Brothers and Senior Sister.”

“Yes.”

“This is Senior Brother Yan Jing, this is Senior Sister Lu Li, this is Senior Brother Tang Guang.” An Yu Qian introduced the three people around Lou Mu Yan with a look from Hall Master Rong.

Lou Mu Yan greeted with a gentle smile: “Senior Brother Yan, Senior Sister Lu, Senior Brother Tang, greetings.”

“Junior Sister, greetings.” The three of them gave her a friendly smile.

“You are all six key pupils trained by our Mercenary Union. You must unite as one this time, and you will need to fight side by side in the future too.” Hall Master Rong said earnestly.

“Pupil will definitely not disappoint Hall Master Rong’s expectations.” The several people said in unison.

Xia Ye Xuan looked around and asked curiously: “Hall Master, didn’t you say that there will be another group of pupils from the Mercenary Union entering Cang’lan Secret Realm together, where are they?”

Hall Master Rong sighed helplessly: “We don’t know why this time, but the tokens collected by the Hidden City are only slightly more than half of usual, and there aren’t enough. Our five major forces could only win one each.”

It wasn’t that they couldn’t afford the auction price, but that Central State had a rule that each time the Cang’lan Secret Realm opened, people from top forces and first-class clans must enter, so they couldn’t snatch the opportunities of the large clans.

A single token could only bring six people in, so only the six most important people could be selected.

“So that’s how it is.” Xia Ye Xuan pursed his lips and said: “Then wouldn’t there be many unfamiliar faces appearing this time.”

The tokens that weren’t collected by the Hidden City were usually hidden by people. If it wasn’t a force of Central State, then they must be unfamiliar people.

“That’s why you have to be more careful this time. There are countless geniuses who fall in the Cang’lan Secret Realm each time.” Hall Master Rong said.

“We will be careful.”

“This time, Hall Master Wan will take you there to meet up and leave tomorrow.”

Hall Master Rong thought for a while and reminded: “The Cang’lan Secret Realm belongs in the category of secret realms controlled by the Human Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. Therefore, each time pupils enter, many powerful Celestial Unification Realm powerhouses of the Human Realm’s various major forces would gather together to project the situation within using a secret skill to watch your performance in the secret realm.

“Only if you enter certain areas can you block their prying eyes. If you have no secrets, then show your strength and perform well. If it’s inconvenient, then find a special area to act.

“If you encounter someone who takes the initiative to kill you, you don’t need to worry, just kill if necessary, and we, the Mercenary Union, will take care of it when the time comes.

“Of course, you can’t take the initiative to provoke and kill others. Although cultivators are sometimes not bound by secular rules, they still must be worthy of their own heart. Otherwise, killing too much will result in karma, which will have a negative impact when advancing to Unification Realm in the future.” He reminded.

“Pupil understands.”

None of them were cruel people who took pleasure in killing. As long as others didn’t take the initiative to provoke them, then it was impossible for them to cause trouble.

“Alright, you can all leave.” Hall Master Rong waved his hand and said.

After the several people left, the figure of Union Leader Wu appeared in the room.

“Union Leader.” Rong Liao looked at the red-haired man respectfully and addressed.

“Has everyone been arranged?” Union Leader Wu said with deep eyes.

“They’ve been arranged, but I didn’t tell them that the Mercenary Union has planted several masters in several clans to protect them secretly.” Rong Liao said.

“What you did is correct. There’s no need to let them know about such things, otherwise it’s not good for them to feel that they’re lucky and become dependent on it.” Union Leader Wu said.

Besides Lou Mu Yan, the other five were masters who had been secretly raised by the Mercenary Union for many years. They had their own secret methods and abilities, but it wasn’t time to expose them.
