Chapter 28: Blood Cave

  Nothing to say, first update~~~

  "Zhang Chongge~~~" Chen Ling'er called out softly, "How did you come over today."

  Zhang Chong only remembered at this time that Chen Ling'er was the second miss of the Chen family, and she had been defeated in the elimination match and returned to Zhenling Pavilion.

  At this time, he also touched his head and smiled in his mouth.

  "Ah~ I was passing by anyway, so I came to see you."

  "Thank you, Brother Zhang, for your concern." As she said this, Chen Ling'er's tears began to flow. She had been holding in a lot of grievances in her heart lately, and there were some things that she couldn't say at home. At this moment, facing Zhang Chong, she couldn't help but be overcome with emotion.

  "I'm just passing by, don't be too sad." Zhang Chong didn't expect that his casual remark would make Chen Ling'er cry, and he was also somewhat at a loss for what to do.

  Chen Ling'er cried for a while before calming down and smiled as she said

  "Recently, our family has encountered a great misfortune, and for a moment, I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with emotion, which must have been laughable to Zhang."

  Her voice was crisp and clear, her words were like silver bells, which was extremely pleasant to listen to.

  But hearing her say this, Zhang Chong also remembered what had happened earlier and he too laughed and said.

  "Yes, it was indeed a big trouble, but fortunately, it has been solved."

  "It didn't actually solve anything," Chen Ling'er said lightly, biting her teeth.

  "The master of the Luo family, Luo Fei, is willing to help us Chen family because he has his own purpose. We also don't have a grasp on finding back this batch of spiritual treasures within half a year. If we can't find back the spiritual treasures, then we will have to fulfill the secret agreement with the Luo family."

  "Oh, what agreement." Zhang Chong curiously asked.

  "What Luo Fei said earlier was that he wanted the Chen family to transfer half of our shares to him, and from then on, the Chen family would receive a large sum of money and withdraw from the management of Lingbao. And this time, Luo Fei has set another condition, saying that as long as I agree to marry Luo Ding, he will step in and help us resolve this trouble."

  At this point, Chen Ling'er's cheeks also showed a faint flush of red.

  "Marry that dead fat man? No way." Zhang Dashuai exclaimed in surprise.

  "Yes, but in my heart, I am extremely unwilling. I think..." Chen Ling'er said this when she was already choked with sobs and couldn't continue speaking. She also didn't understand why she would share these unwilling thoughts with the person in front of her. Was it because the young man in front of her, who was not handsome, had already occupied a place in her heart?

  "Of course, she can't marry him." Zhang said resolutely. Since the elimination match, he and Luo Ding had become sworn enemies. And Chen Ling'er, in his eyes, was still considered a good friend of his, so how could he let them be together?

  However, facing this difficult problem in front of him, he was also unable to think of a solution.

  "It's really unexpected, not just me, a poor kid, would be worried about the crystal stone, but also the Chen family, with their large business, would also be worried about the crystal stone. Crystal stone, you are indeed overbearing in this world." Zhang Chong couldn't help but let out a long sigh in his heart.

  "Zhang, I'll head back first. This time you came over, my heart is very happy, thank you. We'll meet again." After Chen Ling'er said this, she glanced at Zhang Chong one more time before quietly stepping towards the door and walking in.

  "Chen Ling'er," Zhang Chong suddenly called out to her, Chen Ling'er stopped in her tracks, but her shoulders were slightly trembling. She was thinking about what Zhang Chong would say to her. Would he express his feelings or ask her to leave with him? How should she face this situation?

  The girl's chaotic thoughts made her face flush like she had been drinking.

  "Will this Zhenling Pavilion still open today?" She didn't expect that Zhang Chong would only ask this one sentence.

  "It shouldn't be." Chen Ling'er replied softly, and then walked into the room.

  The door slammed shut in front of Zhang Chong.

  Zhang Chong also stood for a long time before turning around and leaving.

  On this day, Feng Luojia summoned all the newly joined inner disciples to a place and said to them with a serious expression.

  "In three days' time, it will be the selection of the Demon Guard. Everyone, make your preparations and head to the Blood Cavern."

  The Blood Cavern is a place of great power, opened up by the strong in the Demon Clan. It is filled with endless dark energy and is an excellent place for the Demon Clan to cultivate. The Blood Cavern transcends all realms, but within each realm, there are entrances that connect to it.

  The choice of Mo Wei is also a very important thing for a demon cultivator. Demon cultivators are not like immortal cultivators, they can't refine and use various spiritual instruments, Mo Wei is the companion weapon that accompanies them throughout their lives, and has a great connection with their body, and can make Mo Wei and their own strength grow together in continuous cultivation.

  And Blood Caverns are where the Demon Clan gives talented disciples a place to refine their own demonic guardians.

  A good Mo Wei can undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of a cultivator, which is why Xun Feng attaches great importance to it.

  Of course, in the Blood Caverns, while it is possible to refine one's own demonic guardians, there are also some dangers. These dangers mainly include three aspects: Firstly, some demonic guardians may appear without warning, and if one is not careful, they may not only fail to capture the guardian that has come to find them but may even be killed by it. Secondly, some demonic guardians have extremely great power, and once in hand, one cannot control them, and instead, will become lost in mind and die. Thirdly, some demon cultivators who stay in the dark lands for too long will develop a murderous nature and suddenly launch an attack on you, resulting in death.

  Due to these three aspects, even with a powerful guardian like God's Power standing by, the mortality rate still remains around 10%.

  However, death is just a threshold that must be crossed on the long road of cultivation. This point, whether Zhang Chong agrees or not, is an important concept instilled in all Longshengmen disciples.

  Three days pass in the blink of an eye.

  Zhang Chong gazed at the huge turntable in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a sense of astonishment. The turntable was densely engraved with lines of symbols, and around it were several thick stone walls floating above the turntable at various angles.

  These stone walls also have dense patterns carved on them.

  Apart from the symbols, on the surface of the turntable and stone wall, there are countless recesses, with more than 10,000, and in each recess, a three-product crystal is placed.

  More than 10,000 pieces of crystal stone were needed to transport them to the Blood Cavern, and when Zhang Chong learned that these crystals were required for the energy needed for this trip, he was shocked by the exorbitant cost.

  More than 10,000 pieces of Three-Pattern Crystal Stone, heavens! How long will I have to refine the Fireball Symbol to be able to afford this? Only now did Zhang Chong finally realize that the meals he had eaten at the Water Cloud Pavilion, which he had risked his life for, were actually quite cheap.

  10,028 three-product crystal stones burst out with bright white light in an instant, making everyone's eyes shine brightly. After the light faded, they found themselves in a dark cave, where the wind was howling and whistling, producing a mournful sound. In the distance, the dark red stone wall made people's hearts tremble with fear.

  This escort team of a hundred people is led by Tubat with ten powerful warriors at the level of gods.

  He quickly told the crowd about the terrain, and then reconfirmed with everyone the scope of the Longevity Gate in this Blood Cave. After that, he said coldly:

  "All of you who are new to this Blood Cave, be sure not to mistakenly run into the trial grounds of other sects, lest you cause misunderstandings. But even more so, do not mistakenly enter the depths of the Blood Cave, otherwise, your life will be forfeit."

  After saying this sentence, it was only then that everyone dispersed in all directions.
