Chapter 245 Qian Family's Scheming and Oath on Jade Slip (Two in One)
Qingxuan Sect, Qingxuan City.
At this time, because the Profound Grade Secret Realm was opening, it had once again become bustling.
Streaks of Escape Light landed all around the city, and the occupants proceeded to enter on foot.
Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi were no exception; they descended two miles outside the city gates. With the impending opening of the Qingxuan Sect's Profound Grade Secret Realm, there were simply too many Spirit Boats and Escape Lights flying in from everywhere.
The two of them even saw quite a few cultivators riding flying Spirit Beasts, as well as others commanding demon banners and massive Flying Swords.
Clearly, cultivators from the Wanjian Sect, Spirit Beast Sect, Heavenly Demon Sect, Corpse Refining Sect, and Spirit Talisman Sect had also all rushed over.
Among them, there were no shortage of loose cultivators and affiliated families within these sects, especially the demon cultivators and Corpse Refining Sect cultivators; from a distance, one could only feel emanating from them a sense of ferocity and malevolence.
If it weren't for the fact that Qingxuan Sect had long issued a ban, forbidding competition within a thousand miles of the sect, they might have encountered the demon cultivators' acts of murder and robbery!
Lin Shiming did not understand what benefits the higher-ups had negotiated, but it must have been substantial, perhaps related to the previous wars, or to the strategies of Qingxuan Sect's high-level Golden Core experts.
But he knew that this trip to the Profound Grade Secret Realm would undoubtedly be even more difficult for them!
As the two of them descended, a Spirit Boat landed not far away, revealing three figures.
They were cultivators from the Qian Family of Hetian County, including their old acquaintance Qian Bosheng. They had also flown here in their company.
However, unlike before, where Qian Bosheng took the lead, now he was followed by an elder in a white Taoist robe, Qian Yongfu.
He appeared as if he was above worldly concerns, exuding an imposing aura without anger.
His cultivation level was at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment, and the feeling he gave to both Lin Shiming and Lin Xianzhi was somewhat different.
The pinnacle of Foundation Establishment is also known as half-step Purple Mansion, a realm that Xie An also belonged to. However, unlike Xie An and Lin Xianzhi who seemed to carry the air of twilight, Qian Yongfu was brimming with vitality.
This state was incredibly strange.
"Of course there's something off about him, their Qian Family should have a thousand-year-old Stalactite Cave!" Lin Xianzhi's eyes also flashed with a hint of envy.
His own True Yuan vitality was derived from the essence of a Wood Demon's Spirit Grass, which had only a lifespan of about ten years, whereas the other party was evidently benefiting from plentiful thousand-year-old Spirit Milk and even had some preserved within his body.
If it were any ordinary cultivator, they would truly believe that Qian Yongfu was a practitioner of Body Refinement with a cultivation level at the pinnacle of Foundation Establishment.
"In the Secret Realm, it would be best not to clash with the Qian Family!" Lin Xianzhi spoke again.
Even though his Sword Dao had improved considerably and Lin Shiming had definitely gained as well, the other side had thousands of years of Spirit Milk that could restore True Yuan at any time.
If they had a powerful magic artifact, they wouldn't lose even when facing a Purple Mansion Great Demon.
Lin Shiming nodded, and then the two of them headed towards Laiyue Tower.
Encountering the Qian Family was just a small interlude, but it also added to the immense pressure they felt.
This trip to the Profound Grade Secret Realm, it was uncertain how many old monsters there would be.

The two had barely reached the ground when a Sound Transmission Talisman appeared before them.
Lin Xianzhi picked up the Sound Transmission Talisman, then after a moment of silence, handed it to Lin Shiming.
The Sound Transmission Talisman was sent by Xiao Chen from Duobao Tower.
Xiao Chen, as it happened, had been introduced to Lin Xianzhi by Lin Shiming.
The former, like Lin Xianzhi, was nearing the end of his lifespan and wanted to make a gambit in the Secret Realm.
Back then, they had also agreed to act together this time.
Since both Duobao Tower and Laiyue Tower were Qingxuan Sect's properties, they had obviously been noticed by the latter upon entering Laiyue Tower.
