Chapter 238: Drinking Tea

Qin Ming sat cross-legged on the cushion with peace of mind and began his Cultivation for the day.

He had originally been worried about not having a safe place to Cultivate during this period and feared his cultivation level would fall behind. He hadn't expected that the Qixin Sect would have already built such a large area of housing within this Secret Realm.

The Qixin Sect was truly clever. If they had asked these Disciples to help the Sect collect spirit plants for free, the Sect Disciples would certainly have been unwilling.

But now, by linking spirit plants to contribution points, these Disciples were searching for spirit plants with all their might for the sake of their own interests.

The Qixin Sect only needed to provide some food, resources, and housing.

At the appointed time, Qin Ming ended his Cultivation and came down to the inn.

Song Zhou was already waiting for everyone at the inn. Seeing Qin Ming approach, he immediately said happily:

"Song Qing, you're up so early?"

Qin Ming smiled and said, "I'm not used to sleeping without a night, so I got up early."

"Isn't that the truth? Everything about this Secret Realm is good, except there's no night!" Song Zhou greeted him, "Come, brother, they haven't come out yet. Let's have some tea first. Once everyone arrives, we'll head out to find spirit plants."

"Alright!" Qin Ming said happily. There were many Disciples in the inn right now, so he was naturally happy to stay longer to gather information.

"Did you hear? The Zhengqi Sect has already gathered at Qixin City and wants to attack our Qixin Sect. I wonder if our Sect can hold them off?"

A Disciple with fiery red hair said nearby.

"Of course we can hold them off. Our Sect Master is in the Martial King Realm and is already guarding the Sect. With the Sect Master presiding, no matter how many Zhengqi Sect small fry come, it'll be easy."

"But, it seems the Zhengqi Sect's Martial King has also come!"

Hearing this, all the Disciples began to discuss it.

When had they ever seen a Martial King take action? Now that the Zhengqi Sect's Martial King and their Sect Master might fight, they all suddenly developed a strong interest.

"If only I could become a Martial King." Song Zhou took a sip of tea, thought about it, and felt that this dream was too distant. He changed his tune, "Sigh… forget about a Martial King, even if I could become a Martial Spirit, it would be enough for this lifetime!"

Qin Ming said, "Better not think about the Martial King business. We can't intervene in their struggle at all. Let's just pray the Sect Master wins. If our Sect Master loses…"

"The Zhengqi Sect definitely won't let us Disciples off!"

Song Zhou shook his head, sighed, and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about that. Better to pick more spirit plants. This opening of the Secret Realm is a once-in-a-century opportunity."

"If I can accumulate enough contribution points this time, I can exchange for resources and promote to the Grand Martial Master Realm."

Qin Ming nodded and said nothing more, listening to the loud talk of the surrounding Disciples.

Based on Qin Ming's indirect inquiries during this time, he had already gained a rough understanding of the Qixin Sect's information.

The Qixin Sect had about twenty thousand Disciples. Most of them had entered the Secret Realm, and their main job was picking spirit plants.

The Secret Realm had been open for over a month, and it would close in another month. Now the entire Sect was stepping up the collection of resources within the Secret Realm.

As for the qixin grass that Qin Ming cared about most, he hadn't managed to find any information at all.

Perhaps it was because these Disciples' status was too low. They only knew the Secret Realm had qixin grass, but they had no idea what qixin grass was, let alone where it was located.

At the same time, Qin Ming also learned the true purpose of the Zhengqi Sect: they wanted to seize the Secret Realm. That was why Qin Ming had encountered so many Zhengqi Sect Disciples gathering information in Qixin City. He just didn't know when the Zhengqi Sect would begin their attack.
