"Okay. Then, the first thing is, as Jin Yu said, after today's meeting is over, I will make some preparations and arrange the follow-up matters and set off immediately."

In the central hall, Lu Lingqiu's voice was clear and calm.

"Eh?! Master, are you really going to the 'Land of the Far West'?"

"Yes, Master. Isn't it a little too far there?"

Xi Feiniao and Mu Qing asked one after another.

In their hearts, what they are most worried about is not whether the trip is dangerous or whether they can return home as fruitful as they imagined, but that this round trip will take several months at least... if they really can't see the owner for that long.

, everyone will inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

After all, the feeling of not being able to see the person you like for a long time is really difficult for children.

Lu Lingqiu pondered for a moment and sighed softly:

"I also know that it is a long way there, even more so than the Snowy Mountains and the Western Sea. But you should know more or less that the internal intelligence network of Zhongzhou and the Seven Kingdoms has already been laid out due to Xiaoye's hard work. But the current mainland

Internally, I can’t find any information related to the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Treasure, so I came to ask you today with the intention of giving it a try.”

He paused:

"Although it is a bit abrupt, going to the extreme north may be the most likely way to find a breakthrough at the moment.

Based on Jin Yu’s description, I think that place is probably something like a ‘secret realm’. If we really find it, many problems may be solved——

For example, Shui Lian's physical recovery progress, Xiao Ling's longevity problem, and the sequelae caused by the use of holy magic on Jin Yu and Xiao Ye."

He looked around and his voice was extremely firm:

"So this time, no matter whether I gain something or not, I don't plan to waste any more time and just give up without even trying."

"This, this is it..."

The spirit envoys looked at each other and finally understood the starting point of their master's consideration.

At this moment, Xia Lianxing, who was sitting obediently in her seat, felt thoughtful.

She had just accompanied Mu Qing to experience the outside environment not long ago, so she was deeply touched by her master's words. She knew that in the seven countries and one state, there were no "spiritual treasures of heaven and earth", not to mention souls that were more than a thousand years old.

Whether Hualingcao can continue to survive is a question.

And if there are no rare plants and trees with sufficient age and strong spirituality as materials for refining spiritual food or elixir, then the nourishing food prepared for Sister Shuilian will not have the corresponding effect due to insufficient grade. Under such premise

, "Secret Realm" or "Great Secret Realm", there is a high probability of solving this problem.

She has been fond of reading books since she was a child, and once accidentally saw a concept in some ancient books——

That is, all special spaces independent of the world are collectively called "secret realms".

They are similar to Fenghua Mountain Jinghua Palace, which is not affected by external factors. Of course, they will not be polluted by the increasingly harsh environment, causing the spiritual objects to wither and wither.

At the same time, this also means that there is the possibility of obtaining treasures in the secret realm.

However, the world is so vast that there are endless monks and monsters. Since ancient times, all "secret realms" that have been discovered have been regarded as supreme intelligence by those who have discovered them, and they are either sold at sky-high prices or monopolized... They have long been looted by others.

.

That's why Lu Lingqiu paid so much attention to the clues given by Jin Yu half-jokingly, just like he did when he got the relevant information about "Tianye Guanghan Palace".

"Oh, it would be great if I could know such a secret location like Sister Jin Yu..."

Maomao had a sad face, envious of the blond lolita's perfect plan that she had formulated based on her master's situation under the right time, place and right people.

Therefore, under the various looks of the spirit envoys, Lu Lingqiu finally finalized the first issue.

At this time, only Yan Ye from one side could be heard asking:

"Master, do you need me to escort you there?"

"No need. I have another important task for you later. This time I will just take Jin Yu out."

Lu Lingqiu turned his gaze from the blond Loli, who was ecstatic but had no emotion on her face, to the Ji-haired girl, and said softly.

"Huh?...Okay."

After hearing that there was an "important task" to be done, Yan Ye's initially uneasy mood suddenly improved.

In her heart, even if she can't travel with her master, as long as she can receive the tasks assigned to her by him personally and be able to reflect her own value, she won't have any complaints.

Lu Lingqiu thought for a while and said in a deep voice:

"Well, it's actually about things in the far north."

"The Far North?"

"Yes. Although Shuilian and I successfully brought the birds back last time, the remaining problems there have not been solved."

He glanced at the girl with long black hair and a straight face who looked aggrieved as if she had done something wrong. He comforted her with a gentle look that said, "I don't blame you." Then he turned around and continued to tell Yan Ye:

"According to a series of clues inadvertently provided by 'Demon God' Lorraine, it seems that there is facing the risk of being invaded by the 'ghost army'.

Although I can’t analyze anything from just a few words, the existence of ‘ghosts’ is of great importance and cannot be a fictitious thing. If left unchecked, it is likely to turn into the next ‘evil’ level disaster.”

"Ah? This..."

After hearing this, the spirit envoys were all shocked in their hearts.

Among the children present, Mu Qing possesses evil powers and has interacted with Lu Lingqiu several times, so he is very sensitive to the existence of "evils";

Xia Lianxing once witnessed the scene where Sister Jin Yu was eroded by "evil power", causing the color of her spiritual power to change from gold to black and cannot be restored, so she was also very concerned about this;

Not to mention Xi Feiniao, she was rescued by her master personally. Although she has a deep understanding of demons and gods, the "ghost spirit" that can make a sacred beast like Lorraine so fearful is obviously not something that is easy to deal with.

.

As for Bai Xue and Cang Lan, even if they didn't say a word, it could be seen that they looked a little nervous and they were listening to their master's words carefully.

Lu Lingqiu took a deep breath and said solemnly to Yan Ye, who had already initially understood the situation:

"So Xiaoye, this time, I may have to take the trouble of you to go to the far north to collect some intelligence related to ghosts for me to ensure that we can be prepared when we actually face them."

"Yes, Master."

"In addition, I will satisfy your previous reward request before leaving."

Lu Lingqiu said this sentence through audio transmission.

"!!!"

When the girl who had just been ordered to sit down heard this, she swayed violently and almost failed to sit still.

Soon, the sisters’ exclamations and doubts came from beside them——

"Wow! Why is it so hot all of a sudden!"

"Sayako, I just accepted a mission, why are you blushing??"

Mu Qing, who is in the position of the wood spirit, is closest to Yan Ye. She is naturally afraid of fire, and without the use of body protection techniques, she will become sluggish even in the face of high temperatures;

Jin Yu, who was further to the right, captured the details of Yan Ye's facial expression. She knew her best friend very well and could figure out the general outline of the matter with just a little thought.

"Ah...sorry."

Realizing his gaffe, Yan Ye immediately took a deep breath and tried to calm down his excitement under the curious eyes of his sisters and juniors. However, this promise was still...

It’s so exciting!

If you want to be calm and calm...it's impossible.

The hot night was a bit difficult.

Of course, the considerate Lu Lingqiu would not let the shy girl fall into a difficult dilemma. He cleared his throat and turned his eyes to the other side of the long table, obviously intending to continue the meeting. This

This move immediately drew everyone's attention back——

"Ahem, then the third thing is about the recent mission arrangements of the third and fourth generations."

"!"

When they heard that it was about them, Mu Qing, Xia Lianxing, Xi Feiniao, Bai Xue and Cang Lan perked up and began to listen attentively.

"First of all, Lian Xing."

"Eh?!"

The girl stood up nervously, standing up quickly, waiting for her master to speak.

"Well, before that, I would like to tell you some basic information."

Under everyone's gaze, Lu Lingqiu paused and said calmly:

"Currently, the news about the rebirth of Jinghua Palace has spread throughout the seven countries and one state. And all the high-level monks in the six hidden sects and their related sects were also killed by your sister Hualing in the previous battle.

…Kill them all.”

As soon as these words came out, there was a commotion in the hall——

"??!"

"No, it can't be!"

"I heard that the leaders of the Hidden Sect are all above the stage of transformation into gods, and may even reach the stage of transcending tribulation... Sister Hualing, is she..."

"Don't make such a fuss. The second-generation seniors are already very powerful, right? As the first-generation spiritual envoys, they are naturally capable of doing things of this level."

"But this... these are all hidden doors! Wouldn't doing this mean that the world of human cultivation will be..."

"..."

Amidst the children's extremely exciting expressions and shocked whispers, Lu Lingqiu confirmed again:

"Yes. Due to various reasons, I have not been able to tell everyone about this before. But now, in order for the mission to proceed smoothly, I need to make it clear in advance——

In the current world of human immortality, except for some unborn hidden powers, the number of high-level monks has been reduced to the point where they are almost extinct.

Especially in an environment where spiritual veins are getting thinner and thinner, it can be said to be as difficult as climbing to the sky if you want to successfully break through or take a step further."
