After leaving Shuiyun Tower, Lu Ren did not go home, but found an inn in the city to stay.

In the room, Lu Ren took out the second-level spiritual crystal obtained from selling the secret book, and the first-level spiritual crystal collected from Zhang Chong.

This second-level spiritual crystal is the same size as the first-level spiritual crystal, but the spiritual energy contained within is ten times that of the first-level spiritual crystal.

Without hesitation, Lu Ren directly grabbed the spirit crystal.

[Discovering the second-level spiritual crystal, is it absorbed and refined?]

Lu Ren directly pointed out that.

After a while, sixty second-level spiritual crystals and the spiritual energy inside the first-level spiritual crystals were all sucked away by the Creation Furnace.

Click the Properties panel.

【Name: Lu Ren】

【Cultivation level: Sixth level of ordinary

[Cultivation method: The sixth level of Red Flame Kung Fu]

【Cultivating martial arts: Chiyan Sword Technique (Xiaocheng)】

Looking at the plus signs behind Chi Yan Gong and Chi Yan Sword Technique, this time Lu Ren still chose to improve Chi Yan Gong.

Although he has not improved the Red Flame Sword Technique, as long as the cultivation level increases, the power of the Red Flame Sword Technique exerts in his hands will become stronger.

Just like the same knife, the lethality of adults and children is completely different.

The former can kill all directions, while the latter will only be snatched by people with empty hands.

Simply put, improving the level of cultivation means reducing ten levels with one force.

With the realm of losing the ninth level of ordinary people, even if it is just a small success in the Red Flame Sword Technique, the power it exerts in Lu Ren's hands is comparable to mastery and great success.

Besides, he will be able to enter the Aoki Secret Realm tomorrow.

If you want to improve the realm of the Red Flame Sword Technique, just refine the heavenly and earth treasures obtained in the secret realm and convert energy.

If the heavenly and earth treasures are abundant, it is not impossible to upgrade the level of martial arts and swordsmanship to the yellow-level super-grade ones.

Immediately, Lu Ren directly clicked the plus sign behind the Red Flame Practice twice, and upgraded the Red Flame Practice from the sixth level to the eighth level.

boom!

As the momentum swells, the air waves blow up dust on the ground.

At this moment, Lu Ren's cultivation level broke through to the eighth level of the mortal world.

【Name: Lu Ren】

【Cultivation level: Eighth level of ordinary people】

[Cultivation method: The eighth level of Red Flame Kung Fu]

【Cultivating martial arts: Chiyan Sword Technique (Xiaocheng)】

On the panel, there is no plus sign behind Chiyan Gong.

This is not that the energy in the Creation Furnace has been consumed, but that the energy remaining in the Creation Furnace is not enough to allow Lu Ren to break through the ninth level of the mortal world.

But it is still possible to improve the level of Red Flame Sword Technique.

However, Lu Ren did not do that, but chose to save the energy and prepare to use it tomorrow.

...

The next morning, it was bright.

Lu Ren washed up briefly in the inn, then had breakfast, and went out to head towards the city lord's mansion.

Today is the day when the secret realm is opened.

The city lord's mansion is located in the center of Jiangning City, and there is a square in front of the mansion.

When Lu Ren came to the square, he saw the people who were selected by the Zhang family and the Xu family who were preparing to enter the secret realm with him were already waiting here.

As for the people from the City Lord’s Mansion, they have not come out yet.

After all, big guys often appear in the end.

People from the Zhang family also saw Lu Ren, but they all looked dull.

Because Zhang Chong robbed Lu Ren's secret realm quota was conspired by himself, and the others were not aware of it.

So no one knows that he has been killed by Lu Ren.

"Lu Ren!"

At this time, Lu Ren heard someone calling his name.

He followed the sound and turned to look, and happened to see a familiar face.

The person who came was seventeen or eighteen years old, with a slightly fat body, and half a jade pendant hanging around his neck, which looked a bit gratifying.

"Xu Ming?!"

Lu Ren frowned.

From the memories of my predecessor, I learned that this little fat man was named Xu Ming.

His mother was a child of the Xu family's neighborhood branch. He passed away when he was ten years old, and his father, who married into the family, was indestructible when he was born.

Such a background has led to Xu Ming being bullied by some Xu family members since he was a child.

Lu Ren's predecessor saw him pitiful, so he had helped him many times.

Xu Ming remembers kindness, so although he is older than Lu Ren, he always follows Lu Ren's lead.

"Lu Ren, I knew you would definitely come."

Xu Ming came to Lu Ren with a smile on his face.

"Why are you here?"

Lu Ren asked in confusion.

He remembered that Xu Ming’s talent for cultivation was not good, and he has only lost the fourth level of ordinary people and has no chance of being in the secret realm.

"I'll give you equipment."

Xu Ming explained with a smile, then took out a soft armor from his arms.

"Lu Ren, this soft armor is woven from thousands of silk gold, which can withstand the full-strength attack of the sixth level of ordinary people. You can put it on quickly."

Looking at the soft armor in Xu Ming's hand, Lu Ren frowned and said, "Where did you get the money?"

He didn't know Xu Ming's situation. He had little monthly salary in the Xu family under his cultivation level.

Although this soft armor woven with thousands of silk gold is just a yellow-grade lower-grade armor, it is also worth dozens of first-level spiritual crystals.

Where did he get the money to buy this thing?

Xu Ming said: "Don't worry about these things, put them on quickly."

Lu Ren's eyes froze and said, "Answer me!"

As Lu Ren looked at him with his eyes, Xu Ming lowered his head, timidly for a while, and said, "I, I'll sell my mother's belongings."

"You're confused!"

Hearing this, Lu Ren immediately cursed.

"I'm not confused!"

Xu Ming looked up and retorted: "Although the Qingmu Secret Realm has opportunities, it is more of a crisis, and no one has died before.

There was even one time when the people went there almost wiped out the army!

I don't want your only friend to die in it."

As he said that, Xu Ming stuffed the soft armor directly into Lu Ren's hand.

"Promise me, I must come out alive!"

Xu Ming didn't know that Lu Ren was not Lu Ren, but his friendship with friends moved Xu Renting.

He patted the other person's shoulder and said, "Okay, I promise you that I will come out alive!"

"That's right." Xu Ming punched him in the chest and said, "By the way, you must be careful that person."

Xu Ming pointed to a young man in the Zhang family camp and said.

"who is he?"

Lu Ren turned around and found that it was a strange face.

"That guy's name is Zhang Yunhe. I heard that he came from the Zhang family's sect in Pingjiang City. He has lost his ninth level of cultivation and is amazing.

After entering the secret realm, be careful, don’t offend him!”

Xu Ming reminded.

"The person from Pingjiang City?"
