Are you crazy? Who asked you to hunt for treasures in the emperor's harem?

the next day,

"Sister Ah Xia, oh, no, it should be Sister Ah Xin, or Sister Ru Xin, let's go shopping together!"

After finishing breakfast, Liu Mengying spoke excitedly to the girl with disheveled hair wrapped in black satin. According to Ye Fan, Ah Xia was the daughter of General Nian Jian of Hengyuan, and her name was Nian Ruxin.

"me…….."

Although Ye Fan's words were very sincere, and he even had the talisman he got from Su Qingying in the cold palace, Ah Xin felt a sense of peace in her heart about this sudden explosive news, but she found it difficult to accept Liu Mengying's invitation...

After all, she used to stay away from people and hide her whereabouts, but now Liu Mengying actually invited her to go shopping... This is something she has never done since she left Su Qingying more than ten years ago...

"Let's go, let's go, Sister Xin, there are many interesting things in Qinhuai City, and there are also many delicious foods and drinks!"

At this time, Liu Mengying's excited voice sounded again.

"This... Qinhuai City..."

Ah Xin turned to face Ye Fan, "By the way, Ye Fan mentioned this Qinhuai City. I just happen to know some news. I wonder if it will be useful to you!"

"What news?"

Ye Fan looked at A Xin with great curiosity.

"When I was avoiding assassins a few days ago, I hid in a music studio, where I accidentally heard a piece of news. That is, many masters from various sects came to Qinhuai City this time, not to participate in the vocal competition, but because of the news of the ancient secret realm!"

Ah Xin quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"Ancient secret realm?"

Ye Fan frowned slightly.

"Yes!"

Ah Xin nodded. "According to what the two people in the private room said at the time, the news about the ancient secret realm was the real reason why there were so many more people coming to the Qinhuai City Vocal Competition than usual... Many elders, sect masters and even seniors who had not been involved in worldly affairs for a long time came out this time, just for the news about the ancient secret realm!"

"What is this ancient secret realm?"

Ye Fan had only heard some of what Liu Ran said before and didn't know exactly what was going on.

“This… how should I put it… the ancient secret realm seems to be a cave where some extremely powerful Xuan practitioners once practiced Xuan Qi… because it is too far away from the present, and the place where it is located is a place that has not been visited for who knows how long, so it has this name…”

"Not to mention the various priceless treasures in the ancient secret realm... there are also the mysterious cultivation techniques and skills that make countless mysterious practitioners fight like crazy... and there are also elixirs that help mysterious practitioners break through the shackles of cultivation... It is no exaggeration to say that if you enter the ancient secret realm and come out alive, your strength will improve by leaps and bounds to some extent..."

"Ye Fan, you should have heard of 'One Emperor, Two Supremes, Three Sects, Four Marquises, Five Schools, Six Killers, Seven Groups, Twelve Evils', right? The 'Three Sects' and 'Five Schools' here refer to the strongest sects of Xuan practitioners on Piaomiao Continent..."

"It is said that the founders of the Three Sects and Five Schools were all people who had explored the ancient secret realms... and the reason why the Three Sects were far superior to the Five Schools was that when they explored the ancient secret realms, the people of the Three Sects took away more treasures or more powerful profound cultivation techniques and skills..."

Ah Xin quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"This ancient secret realm sounds like a great place... Senior Liu also mentioned it before..."

As Ye Fan muttered, a light flashed in his hand, and a rather rough iron rod appeared in his hand. It was made from the iron ball that Lin He got from the ancient secret realm...

"By the way, Ye Fan, there is another very important thing in the ancient secret realm, and that is the mysterious weapon!"

After a pause, Axin spoke again.

"Mysterious weapon?"

Ye Fan was a little puzzled, "What is that?"

"It is a rather special weapon... Ordinary Xuan cultivators attach the Xuan Qi they cultivate to weapons such as swords and knives to fight. Although its power is amazing, the most important thing is the Xuan Qi cultivation of the Xuan cultivator. Weapons such as swords and knives are not that important, especially after the cultivation reaches the Marquis level..."

"And Xuanqi is something that allows ordinary people to unleash Xuanqi to attack...Xuanqi, like the cultivation of Xuan practitioners, has levels, but there are only major levels...that is, the level of scholar, general, marquis, king, and honorable...and even the legendary monarch level..."

"A scholar-level Xuan weapon can bring out the strength of a Xuan practitioner at the Xuan scholar level, a general-level Xuan weapon is for a general-level Xuan practitioner, and so on... This is why there have been rumors in the martial arts world that a famous Xuan practitioner was suddenly killed by an ordinary person..."

Ah Xin quickly explained to Ye Fan.

"That's it..."

Hearing this, Ye Fan's consciousness could not help but scan the Xuanhuo Gun lying quietly in the Naxuan Ring. That Xuanhuo Gun was something that ordinary people could use directly... It was just that when they were in Jiangzhou City, Li Mingyang said it was an "evil weapon"...

“Although this mysterious weapon is extremely powerful, it has side effects. If the difference between the user’s Xuan Qi cultivation and the level of the mysterious weapon is too great, after using it, one may die instantly!”

"Moreover, the number of times a mysterious weapon can be used is limited. Basically, it can only be used once... So even if a mysterious cultivator obtains a powerful mysterious weapon in the ancient secret realm, he will not use it easily unless it is absolutely necessary..."

"Mysterious weapons and talismans are somewhat similar, but the activation of talismans requires the cultivation of profound energy, while the activation of mysterious weapons does not require it at all..."

While Ye Fan was thinking, Ah Xin's voice sounded again, "This is also the reason why Xuanqi rarely appears, and even fewer people have heard of it..."

Hearing this, an idea emerged in Ye Fan's mind, that is, the Xuanhuoqiang in his Naxuan Ring is most likely a Xuan weapon...but it doesn't seem to be...

"Big brother, Sister Xin, let's talk while we're walking on the street~"

At this time, Liu Mengying's voice rang out. Apparently, she couldn't wait to go shopping...

"Okay!~"

.......

In the next few days, Ye Fan, Liu Mengying and A Xin walked and ate all the way in Qinhuai City.

Ah Xin was quite reserved at first, but under Liu Mengying's guidance, she gradually relaxed and enjoyed shopping, which was a luxury for her...

During this period, Liu Mengying took Axin to buy a lot of new clothes and even combed her hair...

But a few days later, the only people who went shopping were Liu Mengying and A Xin, because Ye Fan became an apprentice to a foundry master...

According to the notice, Ye Fan came to a place called the Casting Hall. It belonged to the City Lord's Mansion and was a place dedicated to casting Naxuan Rings. Although it was only an apprentice area, it was still heavily guarded. No one was allowed to enter or leave without a token. Even the apprentice of the casting master would be strictly checked every time he entered or left...
