C2080 Match Start
"Young master, thank you for saving me." Seeing Lin Long, he was so happy.
Seeing Grand Elder Zhou Tong Sheng also obediently stay at the side, he naturally saw that Lin Long had already captured the Zhou Family and let out a sigh of relief.
"Zhou Han, let me ask you, did someone really steal the pill formula for the Tranquil Spirit Pill?" Lin Long immediately asked.
"Young master, the pill formula for the Tranquil Spirit Pill was indeed stolen by someone. That day, I took the Space Ring off my finger and put it on my person. I don't know who stole it, but that person was extremely skilled and took it without my knowledge." Zhou Han said gloomily.
"From what you're saying, it must be someone from the Zhou family who can come to your side and take it away. Do you have anyone you doubt?" Lin Long said.
"The person I suspect is an elder of our Zhou family. His name is Zhou Qi." Zhou Han said.
"Zhou Qi?" Zhou Tong Sheng exclaimed.
"Then have you asked that Zhou Qi?" Lin Long asked.
"I've asked, but he denied it. I also used my father to make my move, but he didn't even wait for us to make a move before coming out with the excuse of taking us down. Of course, I didn't tell the Supreme Elder about this, so he doesn't know about it." Zhou Han said while looking at Zhou Tong Sheng.
"So it's like that? If that Zhou Qi really did steal it, then who would he give it to? Why is it that no one has been able to refine a Tranquil Spirit Pill for so long?" Lin Long asked doubtfully.
"I don't know." Zhou Han shook his head.
Lin Long then looked at Zhou Tong Sheng and asked, "Zhou Tong Sheng, did that Zhou Qi reveal anything to you?"
"Nope." Zhou Tong Sheng shook his head.
"Then, Zhou Tong, go and find Zhou Qi. Elder Liang, you will go with him." Lin Long immediately replied.
The reason why he allowed these two people to head over personally was naturally because he was afraid that Zhou Qi would run away upon hearing the news.
Elder Liang immediately followed Zhou Tong Sheng out. Not long after, they brought back an old man dressed in the attire of an elder.
"Young Master, this is Elder Zhou Qi." Zhou Tong Sheng said respectfully to Lin Long.
"Yes." Lin Long nodded, then looked at Zhou Qi and asked: "Zhou Qi, did you steal the pill formula for the Tranquil Spirit Pill from Zhou Han?"
Zhou Qi was naturally surprised at this moment, and what surprised him was how could Lin Long, the young man, let the Great Clan Elder and the rest listen to him.
Who was he? This question hovered in his mind.
In this confusion, he shook his head and said, "Sir, I did not steal young master Zhou Han's Tranquil Spirit Pill formula."
When he was speaking, his eyes were obviously averted a little. Although it disappeared in a flash, it did not escape Lin Long's eyes.
Looks like it was really stolen by this person, Lin Long thought.
He did not bother to waste time talking to the other party and directly walked to the other party's side and placed a restriction on his body.
With the activation of the restriction, Zhou Qi naturally began to roll on the ground.
This kind of pain caused everyone to sweat for him.
"Please spare me, young master. I will say ?" Zhou Qi rolled as he spoke.
At this time, he no longer wanted to hide anything. The only thought in his mind was to make the pain in his body quickly disappear. He would rather be beaten to death than to endure such pain.
Seeing that he was unable to endure it any longer, Lin Long removed the restrictions and coldly said, "Tell me the truth, or I will make you endure this pain again."
How could Zhou Qi still be dishonest? After taking a breath of air, he said with a bitter face, "I did indeed steal the Tranquil Spirit Pill that young master Zhou Han had!"
"Elder Zhou Qi, why did you do this?" Zhou Han couldn't help but say.
One had to know that his father valued Zhou Qi immensely, and it was also because of this that Zhou Qi was able to get close to him.
"The reason I secretly gave the Tranquil Spirit Pill formula was because the second prince of Bingfeng Kingdom sent someone to look for me and told me to do so." Zhou Qi said with a bitter face.
The second prince of the Ice Peak Kingdom! Hearing his words, Everyone at the scene couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
They didn't expect the second prince of the Ice Peak Kingdom to be involved in this matter.
However, thinking about it, they understood. After all, something like the Tranquil Spirit Pill formula could change the strength of a country. Once the Second Prince obtained it, he could even snatch the throne that should have belonged to the First Prince.
And the reason the First Prince wanted to obtain this pill recipe was naturally to consolidate his own position.
"So according to you, the Spirit Calming Pill formula has already been given to the Second Prince?" Lin Long frowned.
If that was the case, he would not be able to understand it. After the Second Prince obtained the pill formula, he should be able to quickly refine a Tranquil Spirit Pill to win the emperor's favor.
"I've already given the Tranquil Spirit Pill formula to Senior Luo Yi, who contacted me about it." Zhou Qi said.
"Luo Yi is indeed one of the Second Prince's subordinates." The eunuch said at this time.
In this period of time, Lin Long had already given him a Ten Day Heart Attacking Pill, so he would naturally speak whatever he knew.
As for Zhou Tong Sheng, Lin Long did not allow him to consume the Life Listening Pill. This was because of the limited number of such pills, so Lin Long thought that he should use them in an even more important manner.
After all, with Zhou Tong's current status, he could easily be replaced by Zhou Han. As for this eunuch, he was different.
The eunuch's name was Liu Xi, and everyone called him Eunuch Xi.
"Eunuch Xi, you should investigate Luo Yi when you get back. Then, you should also check on why the Second Prince hasn't refined a Tranquil Spirit Pill for so long." Lin Long said directly.
He did not intend to bother with this matter any longer. After all, even if the other party were to refine a Tranquil Spirit Pill, it would not be able to affect him in any way.
"Yes." Eunuch Xi said respectfully.
After thinking about it, Lin Long continued, "There's one more thing. Tell me about the secret realm's situation that you know."
Lin Long did not understand much about the secret realms in the imperial palace. It was obvious that Eunuch Xi knew more than others, so he would naturally ask the other party about it.
"Young master, are you going to enter the secret realm?" Eunuch Xi asked with doubt.
"Not only do I want to enter the secret realm, I also want to enter the secret realm where the altar is located. Tell me what you know." Lin Long said.
Eunuch Xi immediately said, "It's like this, the secret realm is divided into four layers. The first layer has one or two berserk beasts, so there's a certain probability of third level beasts appearing, and the second layer has third level beasts, which also have a certain probability of fourth level beasts appearing. The third layer has fourth level beasts, which also have a certain probability of fifth level berserk beasts appearing, and the last layer is where the altar is, and there's a fifth level berserk beast inside."
"Each floor is not directly connected, and only by finding the entrance can one enter. Usually, the entrances to the next floor of the first three floors will be very obvious, and there will be blue light at the entrance. However, the entrance to the third floor will not be obvious, and there will not be blue light at all."
"Young master, it's very difficult for you to enter the fourth floor, because it is clearly stated that no one can enter the secret realm while activating the level 5 Ice Talisman. Even if young master can enter, you will be detected by the rune array when you enter the fourth floor.
"It shouldn't be a problem for me to sneak into the secret realm." Lin Long said.
He, the Dantian recording, could similarly conceal his strength on the Cold Talisman Paper, so he was not worried about this.
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "If I enter that entrance and the rune array senses me, then there's nothing I can do about it. In short, no matter what, I have to enter the last level."
Even if there was a danger, he would still try it out. Only by entering that place would he have a high chance of leaving this cold world.
Hearing Lin Long's words, Eunuch Xi could only say, "Then Young Master, you must be careful at that time."
"Actually, this is all I know about the fifth floor. If young master enters, you might encounter even more trouble."
"Since we aren't letting anyone who can activate the rank 5 Ice Talisman paper enter, then won't we be unable to follow them in?" Feng Tian couldn't help but say.
Eunuch Xi could not help but smile when he heard his words, "Actually, not only is there a limit, there is also a limit to the age of the bones. At your age, those people from the palace do not even need to look at your strength to directly exclude you."
"Is that so?" Feng Tian couldn't help but feel awkward.
He didn't understand the rules for entering the secret realm, so he said these words.
"Young master, do you still want to refine the Tranquil Spirit Pill?" Zhou Han asked.
Although the Tranquil Spirit Pill formula was stolen, Lin Long could give as many pill formulas as he wanted here.
"There's no need for now. Let's wait for Eunuch Xi to understand the situation over there." Lin Long said.
Then, he looked towards the Supreme Elder and said, "Zhou Tong Sheng, you should sit outside of the Clan Head first. However, you have to listen to Zhou Han's orders, I'll let him have the Ten Day Heart Attacking Pill's antidote ?" If anything happens, the next time I will not just let you take the Ten Day Heart Attacking Pill. "
The reason why he did not directly make Zhou Han Patriarch was because he did not want the First Prince, Second Prince and the others to know that the Zhou family was already under his control.
Zhou Tong Sheng replied respectfully, "Young master, I will do as you say."
Right now, he wholeheartedly wanted to submit to Lin Long, so, even if Lin Long did not let him consume the Ten Day Heart Attacking Pill, he would not think of disobeying Lin Long.
After that, Lin Long brought the group of people and left the Zhou household, out of the Eternal River City.
After returning to the Imperial City, he would begin to wait for the opening of the mystic realm.
After returning to the last two days, Eunuch Xi came to find him.
"Eunuch Xi, do you have anything to say about this matter?" Lin Long immediately asked.
"I seriously investigated and discovered one thing, and that is that Luo Yi has been missing for quite a few days. The Second Prince is obviously secretly investigating this matter, but he hasn't been able to find anything. From what I've heard, the Tranquil Spirit Pill formula Luo Yi obtained has yet to reach the Second Prince." Eunuch Xi said.
"It looks like one possibility is that something happened to Luo Yi, and the other is that someone else got hold of the Tranquil Spirit Pill recipe." Lin Long analyzed.
After all, there were definitely not only those two powers in Yongjiang City, and there were even other princes who joined.
"Then Young Noble, do you still want to continue pursuing the matter?" Eunuch Xi asked.
"Forget it, there's no need for now." Lin Long immediately waved his hand.
He no longer wanted to pursue this matter. More importantly, no one was refining the Tranquil Spirit Pill right now.
"You can go back first. Tell me if you have any news." Lin Long said.
"Yes." Eunuch Xi acknowledged respectfully and left immediately.
Unknowingly, many days had passed before the day of the competition finally arrived.
Not all of the young talents registered for the competition. The only reason why neither the rank 3 nor the rank 4 paper were used was because they could directly enter the secret realm.
It wasn't like this before. I heard that the Emperor was generous and allowed the entry, which was why such a situation occurred.
The competition was held in the training grounds of the Royal Palace. The Emperor, the Prince and the others hadn't appeared in this competition. The reason was simple. The people who came to compete were too weak.
As Qian Jiayi's personal guard, Lin Long was able to follow her into the palace.
Each registrant could only bring two guards, and the guards' skeletal age had to be within a set range. It was impossible for them to exceed the minimum age of two guards.
The ones participating in the competition weren't the guards, but Qian Jiayi and the other young talents with status and position.
When he arrived at the training grounds, Lin Long realized that there were around three hundred people participating in the competition.
When everyone had gathered, one of the eunuchs walked up to the stage and said, "In this competition, only half of you will be able to enter the secret realm with those who already have the qualifications to enter."
After pausing for a moment, he continued, "Because your strengths are equal, there is no need to go through so much trouble in the competition. We will directly draw lots and let you two fight to the death so that whoever wins can enter the secret realm, and whoever loses will be eliminated!"
Clearly, these people in the palace didn't want to waste their time on weak people like them.
When these words came out, it naturally caused Everyone at the scene to be shocked.
However, none of them dared to object.
At this point, the eunuch continued, "However, in order to increase the interest, we will first draw out three people. These three people have the right to choose their opponents."
"In that case, wouldn't the person selected be able to choose the weakest person?" Someone could not help but ask.
"That's right, that's right. If you can get it, then you have a 90% chance of entering the mystic realm." The eunuch said.
Hearing him say this, the people below the arena naturally prayed in their hearts for him to be selected. This way, they could completely avoid those who were stronger than him.
"This is probably for someone else, right?"
"Why are people preparing?"
"They must be prepared to be on good terms with the princes. If you don't believe me, you'll see that the people you pick are definitely on good terms with them."
Lin Long heard the people beside him discussing softly. Their voices were soft, but how could they hide from the powerful Lin Long?
This kind of thing was common, so Lin Long was too lazy to bother with it. Qian Jiayi would definitely be able to beat her opponent, so he was not worried about her.
Qian Jiayi's strength was already enough to trigger the level three Ice Talisman Paper. The reason for the competition was naturally because she was only able to activate the level two Ice Talisman Paper when she registered.
"Alright, let's begin the drawing of lots." After a moment, the eunuch on the stage spoke.
