Chapter 155: Mu Qiu Secret Realm Reacts
Mortals have Spirit Stones because Spirit Stones are a universal currency that both mortals and cultivators can use.
However, mortals themselves cannot use Spiritual Energy.
Even though Spirit Stones are condensed from Spiritual Energy, they cannot be used without the proper method.
Any Magic Treasures or Items require Spiritual Energy to activate, and mortals are completely helpless in this regard.
Only healing potions, because they are ingested, can have an effect on mortals.
Thunder Stone Ore perfectly compensates for the inability of mortals to use Spiritual Energy.
Imagine if Players could stabilize the elemental components of Thunder Stone Ore and utilize its characteristic of automatically overflowing with Spiritual Energy to activate some Magic Treasures and Items. Would mortals then be able to use them?
If mortals can also use Magic Treasures and Items, then the future of the Longevity Sect is truly bright!
Of course, they wouldn’t be able to do it as freely as cultivators, at least not with a mere thought.
For example, this aerial walkway is one of the city roads envisioned by the Players.
They want to build this for no other reason than to construct aerial buildings like those in Liuxian City.
Throughout history, people of Huaxia have always had a special obsession with flight, and living in a Heavenly Palace is also a concept inherent in mythology.
As for the previously envisioned trains, they can be temporarily set aside. If Thunder Stone Ore can be transformed into a stable energy source, they could even build a flying train that travels automatically.
The biggest problem now is stabilizing the Spiritual Energy from Thunder Stone Ore.
Otherwise, it’s an unstable bomb.
Song Jiulai received the message when Chen Miaomiao asked her to return to sign the contract.
Because the cooperative cultivation of Spirit Herbs is a major undertaking, it is about jointly pursuing development.
And it is also to shut the Flying Sparrow Sect up.
The ability to transform First Order Spirit Herbs into Tier 2 Spirit Herbs is a core secret no matter where it is. Small Sects must keep their mouths shut tightly to protect it.
Therefore, signing a contract is very necessary.
As the Sect Master of the Longevity Sect, Song Jiulai naturally took on the responsibility of signing the contract.
And from the Flying Sparrow Sect, Dong Yulan would sign.
Because she agreed to it, she had to bear the responsibility.
After Song Jiulai returned from Liuxian City, she headed to the Flying Sparrow Sect.
This was her first time visiting the Flying Sparrow Sect.
When she had gone to the Flying Sparrow Sect before, she had only asked people at the entrance to call Su Huanli. This was her first time entering the interior of the Flying Sparrow Sect.
The architectural style of the Flying Sparrow Sect was actually similar, with a few houses built on the mountain top, but it looked much better than the Longevity Sect had initially.
At least it looked like it had been carefully polished, possessing its own style and grandeur.
There was a grand hall on the mountain top, which was the main Sect of the Flying Sparrow Sect.
When Dong Yulan saw Song Jiulai, her expression was slightly surprised.
Because she sensed the aura of an Early Qi Condensation Stage cultivator on Song Jiulai.
How could this be?
Her disciples were all in the Late Stage, so how could the Sect Master still be in the Early Stage? Was this acceptable?
Song Jiulai, upon seeing Dong Yulan, enthusiastically stepped forward and offered her hand for a handshake, “Elder Dong, hello, hello.”
She looked as if she were meeting a client on a business trip.
However, under Dong Yulan’s bewildered gaze, Song Jiulai sheepishly retracted her hand, “This is a way our Sect expresses respect.”
Su Huanli also explained to Dong Yulan, “Elder, the disciples of their Longevity Sect do indeed like to do this.”
Sometimes when she went down the mountain, she would encounter some disciples who also liked to shake hands with other cultivators.
They seemed very enthusiastic.
In any case, it didn’t seem malicious.
If others didn’t engage, it would turn into a strange-looking cupped-hand salute, and they would all look unskillful.
This handshake should indeed be their Sect’s etiquette.
“Oh…”
Although her cultivation was higher than Song Jiulai’s, considering the cooperation between the two Sects and the great benefits offered by the Longevity Sect, it didn’t seem appropriate to maintain her pride as a Senior.
Dong Yulan hesitated for a moment, then extended her hand towards Song Jiulai and said, “Hello?”
“Hello, hello!”
Song Jiulai clasped Dong Yulan’s palm.
The first meeting between the leaders of two major Sects in history was thus achieved.
“I am here to represent the Longevity Sect in signing the cooperation contract with the Flying Sparrow Sect. If there are no other conditions, shall we proceed as my disciple said?”
Dong Yulan frowned slightly, “Isn’t this something you decide?”
A dignified Sect Master actually listened to her disciple.
Song Jiulai immediately explained, “No, I often go out, and my disciples manage these Sect affairs.”
Dong Yulan’s expression was a little subtle, “Oh…”
This was normal.
As the Sect Master, cultivation was the priority.
These worldly matters were indeed not something she would do.
The contract was signed, stipulating that all Spirit Herbs on the mountains within the Flying Sparrow Sect would henceforth be guided by Longevity Sect disciples, while the original Flying Sparrow Sect disciples would continue to do what they were doing.
As for below the mountain, there were still many Rogue Cultivators, and with many eyes and ears, it was not suitable for large-scale cultivation.
What the Longevity Sect wanted was to occupy the entire mountain.
This mountain was not small. Behind the Flying Sparrow Sect were several large mountain peaks connected together, only slightly shorter than Fei Que Mountain. That large area was uninhabited, and usually only the disciples of the Flying Sparrow Sect would occasionally go there.
Outsiders were not allowed in, ensuring high security. Leaving it unused was a waste.
The Players were already short of places.
Since Spirit Herbs were the main source of income, the more the better, naturally.
Moreover, the Thunder Stone Ore was also in the back mountain of the Flying Sparrow Sect.
The Players were definitely eyeing this Thunder Stone Ore.
Once the Flying Sparrow Sect signed this contract, this territory would completely belong to the Longevity Sect.
After signing the contract, Song Jiulai followed her original plan to visit the Liuyun Sect and other Sects.
She saw in the Sect Channel that Han Tian and the others would continue to visit other Sects after handling the matters in Wang’an County.
After all, now that the Flying Sparrow Sect had agreed to cooperate, the Spirit Herb market would be huge, and Wang’an County alone couldn’t accommodate so many Goods.
The situation in Liuxian City was that it was difficult to garrison there long-term, and Tier 2 Spirit Herbs were not rare. Major cities would offer lower prices, so it was better to focus on other nearby Sects.
Suddenly, the System alerted Song Jiulai, “Mu Qiu’s Secret Realm is reacting. Based on the energy fluctuations, it will open within a day at the latest.”
Song Jiulai immediately became excited, “Can I enter?”
System: “Yes… but this Secret Realm…”
The System seemed to have calculated something and suddenly said, “It’s a Random Secret Realm.”
A Random Secret Realm is an unstable Secret Realm that exists within the Yunzhou Continent itself. Even Major Sects cannot grasp its entirety. It is different from the previous Liu Yao Secret Realm; this is something completely random.
It could be very dangerous, or it could be very ordinary.
Song Jiulai: “Can you bring me and a few others in?”
“It’s hard to say, the Secret Realm hasn’t opened yet.”
Song Jiulai pondered for a moment, “Then I’ll have the Players prepare. I’ll craft a few new Puppets, ten to be safe. You go ask those who are currently at the forefront in terms of combat power. Don’t mention the Secret Realm, just say there’s a dangerous Task with a possibility of death and unstable rewards, and ask who is willing to go.”
