Regarding the words of the Red Cloud Fairy, Su Wan wasn't surprised.

In the past, when the Black Valley Secret Realm opened, the Three Great Sects would also send a Martial Arts Grandmaster to oversee it.

After all, there were simply too many Innate Realm cultivators gathered, including those at the Innate Ninth Layer.

Aside from a Martial Arts Grandmaster, even an Innate Ninth Layer couldn't command the scene.

Looking at the Red Cloud Fairy as if she walked out of the Moon Palace, Su Wan felt a sense of admiration in her heart.

Under a hundred years old, her cultivation had already surpassed the Supreme Elders of the sect and reached the Seventh Layer of the Grandmaster Realm!

The talent of her master was truly terrifying in her generation!

...

After Lu Ye finished explaining to Qing Yu, he returned to Tian Qing's courtyard and saw Tian Qing pulling out two silver tokens.

Seeing a trace of confusion on Lu Ye's face, Tian Qing explained, "These are the credentials to enter the Black Valley Secret Realm; each major Innate Clan and registered Innate in the Northern Territory has a quota."

"However, many ancestors of the Innate Realm, to be safe, choose not to enter."

"So naturally, Secret Realm Tokens end up being sold to others."

Lu Ye slightly frowned, "Aren't these tokens expensive?"

Tian Qing smiled, "There are quite a few people selling tokens, and most of the Northern Territory Innate Realm are recorded within the Three Great Sects, so they all receive a token."

"A reclusive Innate like yourself is rare, so the buyers are few, and a token only symbolically costs a few hundred taels."

Hearing this, Lu Ye nodded.

The reason for coming early is that the Black Valley Secret Realm is very far from Cloud Leaf City, over ten thousand miles away.

One needs to travel early to avoid missing the opening opportunity.

After a while, Tian Qing instructed some Tian family side branches and then left Cloud Leaf City with Lu Ye.

When Jiang Lingyue, unable to suppress her longing, came again to Lu Ye's small courtyard outside the city, Qing Yu informed her that her husband had left.

"Ah, he's no longer in the city?"

Jiang Lingyue was immediately bewildered, wondering where he had gone this time.

"By the way, your husband said if you came, he left something for you, Second Miss. Please wait, I'll go get it." Qing Yu hurriedly went to fetch the item.

Moments later, Qing Yu handed a small package to Jiang Lingyue.

Jiang Lingyue was quite curious about what Lu Ye had left for her.

Fearing it was some strange item, Jiang Lingyue waited until she was in the room to open it.

Inside was a small jade bottle and a note.

"This is an Upper Grade Postnatal Pill, it can help you break through to the Ninth Layer of Condensing Origin and advance to the Postnatal Realm, consider it your purchase for twenty thousand taels of silver."

After reading the note, Jiang Lingyue held the jade bottle in her hand and couldn't help but giggle.

"Hehehe..."

Lu Ye specifically left her an elixir for breakthrough!

As for Lu Ye jokingly suggesting it was bought with silver... well, the silver notes were actually her... dowry.

Jiang Lingyue's face flushed slightly, feeling in good spirits.

...

A few days later, after continuous travel, Lu Ye and Tian Qing finally arrived at a small town closest to the Black Valley Secret Realm, Black Valley Town.

At this time, the usually quiet town had become bustling like never before.

When the two arrived in town, they only found two low-grade guest rooms at the town's end.

The Northern Territory naturally doesn't have this many Innate Realms because many have come from Xuanzhou as well.

Besides, many Innate Realm brought attendants to manage their living arrangements, and martial artists from various places came to watch the commotion.

Combined, this led to the sudden increase in numbers.

"Luckily, we made it; three days from now is when the Black Valley Secret Realm opens," said Tian Qing.

Looking at the town scenes, Tian Qing couldn't help but be amazed.

On such a small town, about a hundred Innates have gathered now!

Moreover, most are above the Innate Third Layer.

In previous years, when the Black Valley Secret Realm opened, it was the same; those of Innate First or Second Layer mostly came to try their luck.

Those who truly manage to seize the opportunities in the Black Valley Secret Realm and undergo Black Valley Spirit Pool Body Tempering are, at minimum, at the Innate Seventh Layer!

Tian Qing was always curious about what level of Innate Young Master Chen actually was.

Based on that night's duel, he must be at least Innate Sixth Layer.

"I wonder if Young Master Chen will secure an opportunity for Black Valley Spirit Pool Body Tempering this time."

In the adjacent room, Lu Ye was also deep in thought.

According to Tian Qing, besides many spirit grasses and medicines, the most important opportunity in the Black Valley Secret Realm is in the core area on the Black Valley Holy Mountain.

There, the Black Valley Spirit Pool has ten regions for Innate Realm to undergo Body Tempering.

If one can seize one of those, one can enjoy Body Tempering, which not only refines Innate True Qi within but also absorbs the pool's energy, providing a chance for breakthrough.

"I hear that experiencing the Spirit Pool Body Tempering slightly increases the chance of breaking through to Martial Arts Grandmaster."

Thinking of this rumor, Lu Ye slightly nodded; indeed, the Black Valley Holy Mountain Spirit Pool is a treasureland.

He had the Golden Finger, rendering seemingly insurmountable barriers easy to overcome with enough energy replenishment.

For other Innates, gaining a slight chance of breaking through to Martial Arts Grandmaster is undoubtedly the top opportunity!

No wonder even Innates from other three regions of Xuanzhou found it enticing.

That night, the town witnessed two conflicts, both involving Innate Realm powerhouses clashing fiercely, neither willing to back down.

Lu Ye, dressed in black, stood among the crowd, watching the scene with interest.

Just then, a daunting aura suddenly spread from somewhere, sending chills down the spines of hundreds of Innate Realm present...

This aura surprised even the ordinarily aloof Innate powerhouses, causing them to change their expressions in horror.

The two Innates on the verge of conflict felt as if a giant invisible hand was pressing down on them, leaving them in shock.

"This is not a place for fighting. If you wish to fight, take it outside the town. Whatever the outcome, it's your wish," came a voice moments later.

In the night sky, a woman dressed in an exquisite palace gown suddenly appeared, with perfect features that seemed unearthly.

Her long black hair was tied up with a hairpin, her face was cold, and even the moon behind her seemed dimmed.

"It's... a Martial Arts Grandmaster!"

"No wonder, what a terrifying aura; I feel like an egg, ready to break at a touch..."

"Is this the Grandmaster Realm? She's so beautiful; if only I could..."

"Shut up, do you want to die?!" A nearby Innate looked terrified, quickly distancing himself from his companion.

Daring to be so bold with your lust could get you killed.

From within the crowd, watching the effortlessly overwhelming figure in the sky, Lu Ye's eyes glimmered faintly.

Red Cloud Sect Leader... never expected she'd be here too.
