Chapter 288 Lin Family Secret Realm Trial

He said slowly: "There is a lead-washing pool in the ancestral land of my Lin family. As the name suggests, it is to wash away all the lead and regain new life. This lead-washing pool is the foundation and lifeblood of my Lin family." His voice was long and leisurely, like the gurgling water in the mountains, flowing softly and clearly in Shen Yun's ears. Lin Zhen's eyes were as deep as the sea, and there seemed to be endless past events hidden in them, as if he was trapped in distant memories. His voice carried the vicissitudes of time, slowly revealing the ancient secret, leading Shen Yun into that dusty history.

Shen Yun raised his head slightly, his eyes flashing with thought, like the twinkling stars in the night sky. After a moment, he clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully and asked: "Father-in-law, I wonder how the Lin family determined the three places to enter the lead washing pool?"

Lin Zhen put his hands behind his back and walked to the window, his brocade robe swaying slightly. He looked at the scenery in the courtyard outside the window and was silent for a moment. The breeze in the courtyard gently brushed his clothes. Then he said, "Secret Realm Trial." His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry a great force. It was clearly audible in this quiet room, like the sound of a bell.

"Oh? Please tell me in detail, father-in-law." Shen Yun took a step forward, his eyes revealing strong interest and concentration. His fiery gaze seemed to ignite the words that Lin Zhen was about to say.

Lin Zhen nodded and continued, "The so-called secret realms are some independent small spaces. These secret realms are mysterious and each contains unknown dangers and opportunities. The secret realm of this trial is even more dangerous." He withdrew his gaze from the window and fell on Shen Yun, with a more solemn look in his eyes.

"When you enter the secret realm, the first thing you have to face is the intricate array of formations. Those formations are either hidden among the bushes or suspended in the void. If you trigger them carelessly, countless rays of light will flash and trap people in them. Some formations have powerful strangling power and can release sharp sword energy to cut people into pieces in an instant; some formations will release psychedelic smoke, causing people to fall into endless illusions and lose themselves until their spiritual power is exhausted and they die." Lin Zhen's voice trembled slightly, as if those thrilling scenes were right in front of him.

"In addition to the formation, there are various powerful monsters living in the secret realm. Some are as huge as mountains and have infinite strength. With a casual wave of their claws, they can stir up strong winds and huge waves and beat people into meat paste. Some monsters are good at hiding their bodies, approaching silently and launching fatal attacks. Some monsters can spit fire, ice or venom, making it difficult for people to avoid. There are many monsters in it, even some third-level monsters. My Lin family has obtained the entrance to the secret realm for so many years, but we have only explored a small area." Lin Zhen paused and sighed.

"However, danger often coexists with opportunity. In this secret realm, there grow many rare natural treasures that are rare in the outside world. Perhaps in a quiet valley, you can find a community of thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, exuding rich spiritual energy. Taking one piece can greatly increase your spiritual power. On the cliffs, there may be ten-thousand-year-old red fruits growing, which contain tremendous energy and can help people break through the bottleneck of cultivation." A glimmer of longing flashed in Lin Zhen's eyes.

“Not only that, there may be long-lost elixirs in the secret realm. Some elixirs can reshape tendons and veins, greatly improving the talents of practitioners; some elixirs can cure most injuries and illnesses in the world, and are treasures that countless people dream of.” Lin Zhen’s voice rose slightly, revealing a hint of excitement.

“In addition, if you are lucky enough, you can also find ancient martial arts in the depths of the secret realm. These skills are either powerful attack methods or wonderful cultivation secrets, which can enable the obtainers to advance by leaps and bounds and become the best among their peers.” Lin Zhen’s eyes flickered, as if describing the most precious treasure in the world.

This secret realm is also one of the trump cards of our Lin family. In short, although this secret realm is full of dangers, for the children who enter it, as long as they have enough strength and luck, they can gain huge rewards. "Lin Zhen's voice echoed in the room, with a deep expectation.

Shen Yun's eyes lit up when he heard this. His eyes sparkled with excitement, and his thoughts surged like a tide. He seemed to see himself in that mysterious secret place, carefully moving through the ancient woods, and suddenly found a Ganoderma lucidum garden in front of him that was shining with strange light. Each Ganoderma lucidum was crystal clear and exuded an extremely rich spiritual energy. He carefully picked them and put them in his pocket. With the help of their power, his spiritual power increased rapidly.

Or in a deep cave, where there were ancient and powerful techniques engraved on the stone wall, he studied them carefully and understood the essence of them. His skills instantly improved by several levels and he became an impressive master.

Or maybe in a fierce fight with a ferocious monster, he successfully defeated it with his wit and courage, and thus obtained the precious treasure guarded by the monster, which could be a miraculous elixir that can transform a person, or it could be a magical weapon with infinite power.

Thinking of this, Shen Yun's heartbeat began to speed up, and his breathing became rapid. He unconsciously clenched his hands slightly, his eyes were full of desire and anticipation to enter the secret realm, and his cheeks were slightly flushed due to excitement.

"Hiss" Shen Yun couldn't help but take a breath of cold air when he heard Lin Zhen's description of the secret realm, and calmly wiped the non-existent saliva from the corner of his mouth. His eyes still had a longing and fantasy for those rich resources, and he seemed to be immersed in the upcoming treasure hunt, unable to extricate himself for a long time.

But soon, Shen Yun came back to his senses and realized his own gaffe. He coughed lightly and tried to calm himself down. Let's get back to the point.

"Father-in-law, if that's the case, I might be able to help a lot in this secret realm trial." Shen Yun said, cupping his hands. His face was filled with a confident smile, and his eyes revealed a firm determination.

"Oh?" Lin Zhen cast a slightly puzzled look, and that look was like a flash of lightning, instantly piercing Shen Yun's heart. Then he said: "Yun'er, don't be careless. There are many talented people in the Lin family. There are even geniuses at the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm in this trial." There was a hint of warning in Lin Zhen's voice.

"Father-in-law, you have misunderstood. What I meant is that in addition to my decent cultivation, I am also a second-level formation master." Shen Yun explained, his voice steady and firm, with a hint of pride.

"Oh, formation master, hello, formation master..." Lin Zhen nodded subconsciously, and then, as if realizing something, his pupils suddenly shrank.

"What? You...what do you say you are?" Lin Zhen's voice trembled, with an expression of disbelief on his face, staring straight at Shen Yun.
