Cultivation Begins with Daily Intelligence Reports

205: Must not fightThis place is definitely extraordinary!

Lin Xuan made a judgment in his heart.

At the same time, he felt a little nervous.

Perhaps the Opportunity for the Lin Family’s rise lies here!

He motioned for Lin Lingbao and Lin Lingyue to stay outside on guard, while he carefully squeezed in sideways.

Behind the crevice was a small natural grotto. In the center of the grotto was a water pool the size of a washbasin. The pool water was clear, emitting a misty Spiritual Qi and a faint chill.

Some moss emitting a faint blue light grew by the pool, which was the only light source in the entire grotto.

The Spiritual Qi concentration here had reached an extremely high level!

However, Lin Xuan carefully sensed it and always felt that this Spiritual Qi seemed a bit... sluggish? It wasn’t as lively and agile as the outside Spiritual Qi, but rather carried a heavy feeling.

He circulated his Cultivation Technique and tried to absorb a trace, his brows furrowing even tighter.

After this Spiritual Qi entered his body, it was exceptionally difficult to refine, and it faintly carried a cold, Cold aura. If his cultivation hadn’t been solid, it might have even caused some burden to his Meridians.

”This place... is strange,” Lin Xuan thought to himself. He scanned the grotto with his gaze, and besides the pool and moss, it seemed empty.

But he always felt that the source of the purest Spiritual Qi didn’t seem to be in the pool, but rather came from... deeper within?

”Brother Xuan, the Spiritual Qi inside is very difficult to absorb. Brother Bao ventured deep inside to Cultivate before and directly fainted.

We only dared to Cultivate near the edge.

You must be careful.”

Lin Lingyue’s reminder came from outside.

Lin Xuan slowly walked forward until he reached the innermost part of the grotto, where there was a seemingly seamless rock wall.

On the rock wall, there was a clearly visible handprint.

He couldn’t help but slowly reach out his hand and press it against the cold rock surface, while carefully probing a wisp of pure spiritual power into it, trying to sense what was behind the rock wall.

However, the moment his spiritual power touched the rock wall, an anomaly suddenly occurred!

The seemingly indestructible rock wall’s surface suddenly rippled with tiny, almost imperceptible waves, like water into which a stone had been thrown.

Immediately after, countless complex, profound, and ancient runes, so ancient they made one’s mind tremble, suddenly flickered into existence on the rock wall’s surface, like awakened fireflies.

A vast, boundless, and indescribable suction force suddenly emanated from within the rock wall.

It was as if an invisible large hand was trying to pull his entire being into the rock wall.

A series of images rose in his mind.

It seemed to be the space he was about to enter.

Lin Xuan was greatly alarmed. His spiritual power erupted wildly, and he violently pulled back.

”Pfft!”

As if breaking free from some sticky restraint, he staggered back several steps, his back instantly drenched in cold sweat.

When he looked at the rock wall again, the runes had already disappeared, and the rock wall had returned to its ordinary appearance, as if everything just now was merely an illusion.

But the lingering trace of strange spatial fluctuations and the heart-palpitating sense of suction in the air clearly told him that it was definitely not an illusion.

Lin Xuan’s expression was extremely grave, and his heart pounded. He dared not try again easily and immediately retreated from the grotto, re-blocking the crevice with a large stone.

”Brother Xuan, what’s wrong?” Lin Lingbao and Lin Lingyue, who were outside, asked nervously when they saw his changed expression.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart, and said in a deep voice:

”This place is no small matter, definitely not a simple spiritual land. The two of you immediately return with me to the clan territory and report this matter to the Clan Chief and Young Clan Leader, without any delay!”

He realized that the secret hidden deep within this mine might far exceed their imagination.

It was very likely the legendary Secret Realm.

This was simply an immense Opportunity.

Even obtaining one layer of it could allow the Lin Family to achieve a Rank leap.

Lin Xuan dared not delay and immediately took the frightened but faintly hopeful Lin Lingbao and Lin Lingyue back to Lin Family Village, heading straight for the ancestral hall... In the side hall of the ancestral hall, Lin Jingyu and Lin Lingshan had just seen off Zhong Yue and were discussing how to allocate and use this batch of compensation resources, as well as the future development plans for the Family.

A faint scent of sandalwood and a hint of festive atmosphere still lingered in the hall.

”Jingyu, these resources came at the perfect time! Especially these Medicinal Pills and Ores, they are enough to raise the Family’s strength by a notch in a short period!”

Lin Lingshan’s face glowed with excitement as he pointed at the opened boxes on the ground.

Lin Jingyu nodded, about to speak, when he suddenly heard Lin Xuan’s urgent voice from outside the hall:

”Clan Chief! Young Clan Leader! Lin Xuan has an important matter to report!”

”Come in,” Lin Lingshan composed himself.

Lin Xuan entered the hall quickly with Lin Lingbao and Lin Lingyue. All three had tense and solemn expressions.

”Why are you so flustered?” Lin Lingshan asked.

Lin Xuan took a deep breath and thoroughly and detailedly recounted his discovery deep within the mine, as well as the situation of that strange rock wall, including the anomaly triggered when his spiritual power probed it and the terrifying suction force.

Lin Jingyu’s eyes grew brighter and more solemn as he listened to Lin Xuan’s narration.

When he heard about the ”runes appearing on the rock wall,” ”powerful suction force,” and ”scenes appearing in his mind,” he was basically certain that Lin Xuan’s guess was correct!

The inside of the rock wall was very likely a Secret Realm.

Connecting this to the ”Secret Realm” mentioned in yesterday’s intelligence, a startling conjecture surfaced in his mind.

Could it be that the dangerous Secret Realm Xu Li and others entered had another entrance, located deep within the Black Gravel Mine controlled by the Lin Family?

After all, the probability of two Secret Realms appearing near Black Mountain at the same time was virtually zero.

If this were true, then hidden beneath this immense Opportunity was likely an even more terrifying bottomless abyss!

However, this was also an Opportunity!

A huge Opportunity was right before them!

An undeveloped Secret Realm meant potentially ancient Legacies, rare Spirit Medicine, top-grade Ore... Unlike the Taihao Elixir Canon.

These things could increase a Family’s foundation.

And also allow him to soar to great heights.

Lin Jingyu’s breathing involuntarily quickened a little, and his heart pounded faster.

But danger! It was also unparalleled danger!

The intelligence clearly showed that there were demonic Cultivators ambushing inside, colluding with the Liu Family. Even a Qinglan Sect Prodigy like Xu Li fell into their trap and almost died.

With the Lin Family’s current strength, rashly entering would be like a lamb entering a tiger’s den.

They might instantly be dragged into an abyss of eternal damnation by this sudden ”Opportunity.”

Thoughts of ice and fire fiercely clashed in his mind, causing him to fall silent for a moment, unconsciously tapping the table with his fingers.

The soft tapping sound echoed particularly clearly in the silent side hall.

However, if he entered the Secret Realm, he would not only gain the things within the Secret Realm.

He would also receive Xu Li’s life-saving grace.

This person had appeared in the intelligence System a long time ago.

It was highly likely that he was a Cultivator with protagonist Luck.

His future achievements would be limitless.

This matter requires careful consideration. The Secret Realm, one must contend for it!
