Chapter 150: Strange Objects From the Underworld Sea
"Old Liu, how do we open up this dark sea?" Song Changming asked the key point.
"Some people are born with the dark sea, and they are talented, but most people have their dark sea blocked and their spirits scattered. If they want to open the dark sea after birth, they can only rely on some strange things to achieve it." Liu Dingsheng said.
"Strange things?" Song Changming was stunned.
"Yes, this is the first difficulty in practicing martial arts!" Liu Dingsheng shook his head.
When Song Changming heard this, he knew that the strange things that could open the dark sea were mostly hard to come by and extremely difficult to obtain.
He couldn't help but look at Liu Dingsheng, waiting for his next words.
"Do you know why those hidden sects are so prosperous and the masters in the sects have been passed down?" Liu Dingsheng asked.
Song Changming's eyes flashed, and he thought, "Could it be related to the strange thing that opened the Nether Sea?"
"Well, this is one of the main reasons." Liu Dingsheng stroked his beard and nodded, "You should have seen that young man surnamed Li before."
"Is it outrageous?" Song Changming quickly realized who Liu Dingsheng was referring to and nodded.
"It's Li Pu." Liu Ziwen, who was sweating on his forehead, corrected him.
Liu Dingsheng smiled and said, "The Fengxue Villa behind it stands in the Great Snow Valley in the north. There is a ten-thousand-year-old ice soul flower in the villa, which can produce three to nine ice soul seeds every year.
Just swallowing one can have a high chance of opening the Nether Sea, and these ice soul seeds are usually used by Fengxue Villa for itself and rarely given to outsiders."
"In the entire Dahan Dynasty, there are only a few dozen such strange objects known to the outside world. Basically, they are occupied and maintained by the hidden sects and the court. It is quite difficult for others to obtain a piece of strange objects from these hidden sects to open the Nether Sea."
When Song Changming heard this, he instantly understood some of the meaning.
The number of common strange objects that can open the Nether Sea is limited, and they are basically controlled by these top forces and giants, and they are almost completely monopolized.
Even if outsiders have a way to get a piece from these top forces, they will definitely have to pay a lot of price.
After all, there are only so many rare objects produced each year, and rare objects are valuable.
"Is there no other way?" Song Changming frowned and asked.
He had no way to find those hidden sects, and he thought he didn't have any treasures that the other party would like to exchange for equivalent value.
"You can also go to the wild to explore on your own. Those hidden sects are occupied by rare flowers and precious trees that can sustainably produce such rare objects, and such rare objects will also be born randomly in the wild. If you are lucky, you can encounter them." Liu Dingsheng said.
"Betting on luck." Song Changming thought that his luck was not very good. Such aimless exploration was really tiring.
Moreover, there are many dangers in the wild. If he is not careful, even if he is a warrior in the extreme realm, he dare not say that he is 100% safe.
Seeing Song Changming's dilemma, Liu Dingsheng sipped the tea leisurely, moistened his throat, and continued.
"If you don't want to look for it, then you can only fight for it."
"How to fight?" Song Changming thought to himself that there are indeed other ways.
"In the past, those hidden sects would hold a martial arts conference every three or two years, inviting powerful warriors from all over the country to participate.
Every time, they would take out extra Nether Sea treasures as rewards for the winners of the conference." Liu Dingsheng said directly without keeping the secret.
"Old Liu, do you want me to participate in the martial arts conferences held by these hidden sects?" Song Changming immediately understood what Liu Dingsheng meant by "fighting".
"Well, but it is worth mentioning that the number of such conferences held by those hidden sects has become less and less. At present, the only stable one is the Peach Festival held every three years in Yuxu Cave.
If you want to go then, I can take you there." Liu Dingsheng said, with a little more nostalgia in his expression.
He also participated in this Peach Festival in the past.
It's a pity that the event was full of heroes, and powerful people from all over the world flocked to it. In the end, although he performed well, he was not the final winner.
Naturally, he was unable to obtain the peaches of Yuxu Cave and open the Underworld Sea.
This was also a big regret in his heart.
Liu Dingsheng told Song Changming about his personal experience in the past for reference.
When he failed, Liu Dingsheng was already a martial artist at the extreme level, which shows how fierce the competition for such rare items is.
There are many talented people from all over the world. They all gathered together in order to enter a new realm of martial arts and qi training after refining their bodies to the extreme level.
It is not an exaggeration to say that this is a martial arts event.
If it were any other occasion, it would be extremely difficult to invite so many talented masters and geniuses.
After listening to this, Song Changming also fell into thought.
Either travel around to find it yourself, or show your strength to compete with others.
There are only these two ways in front of him.
"If I participate in the martial arts conference, what do you think my current strength will allow me to get the rare item?" Song Changming suddenly asked.
"Not 100%, but there is a good chance." Liu Dingsheng estimated.
Although he was optimistic about Song Changming's strength, he did not say anything definite.
He knew very well that there were many martial artists in the Dahan Dynasty, and there were countless people with outstanding qualifications. Even if the disciples of those hidden sects would not participate, it would still be difficult for Song Changming to win in the end.
Even though Song Changming also practiced other physical training skills, he was not the only extreme martial artist who practiced multiple physical training skills in this martial arts event!
Song Changming's advantage was actually not as obvious as usual there.
Liu Dingsheng knew this very well.
"I'm not in a hurry to decide whether to participate. If I remember correctly, the Peach Festival will be held next year. It's still early." Seeing Song Changming fall silent, Liu Dingsheng couldn't help but say.
"Thank you, Mr. Liu. If I haven't opened the Nether Sea next year, I can only ask you to take me there." Song Changming nodded.
Although it was a bit troublesome to rush to participate in this martial arts event, he was even more unwilling to continue to procrastinate and waste too much time on opening the Nether Sea.
It would be best if the Nether Sea could be opened this year. If not, he would have to participate in this event next year.
He comforted himself in his heart that there was nothing wrong with competing with the world's geniuses and heroes. He could just consider it as a way to broaden his horizons and gain more knowledge.
Staying in Donglai County without going out was somewhat like sitting in a well and looking at the world.
"It's a small matter, don't worry." Liu Dingsheng waved his hand.
The two talked about many things while playing chess.
Unknowingly, Song Changming lost several games on the chessboard.
At this time, Liu Ziwen suddenly came with a letter in his hand.
"Sir, there is a visiting card sent by the young master of the Li family, and a letter inviting a fight. Let us pass it to Changming."
"Huh?" Song Changming was stunned when he heard it.
What else does he have to do with this.
"What a coincidence, there is no need to send it again specially." Liu Dingsheng looked at the letter inviting a fight and smiled lightly.
Probably because Song Changming was close to him, the other party passed the letter of challenge to him after knowing it, and then he delivered it.
Liu Ziwen immediately handed the letter of challenge to Song Changming.
A day later, the young master of the Li family from the north received a verbal response from Song Changming from Liu's house.
As in the past, he did not intend to fight this meaningless war.
In the past, facing those who did not know what was good for them, Song Changming even replied a word.
That is, the identity and background of the young master of the Li family were really deep and rich. In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Song Changming asked Liu Ziwen to help him decline.
It's not that he didn't consider Liu Ziwen's original suggestion to make people shine by fighting and make friends with the young master of the Li family.
Maybe he would have a chance to get the strange objects that Fengxue Mountain Villa opened the sea of the underworld through him.
But Liu Dingsheng said frankly that the ownership of the strange objects in Fengxue Mountain Villa every year had been booked early.
Even if the other party was the eldest young master of the villa, he could not make the decision on the strange objects.
Not to mention that the other party would not fight for anything for a casual acquaintance like Song Changming.
Liu Dingsheng's words also completely eliminated his remaining interest.
"Hmph, what dragon sword? If you shirk like this, you are probably just a person with a false reputation, boring, that's all!" Li Pu heard this, curled his lips and snorted, waved his hand, and didn't intend to continue to pester Song Changming.
In fact, he himself didn't think that Song Changming, who had the name of Dragon Sword, was really as powerful as the rumors said.
It was probably an ordinary guy who exaggerated, which made him quite disdainful.
"Master, you have been in Donglai County for a few days. Do you want to set off again to change places?" The old servant beside asked respectfully.
"Well, after you have traveled through the seven southern counties, you can go back. This experience is very boring." Li Pu shook his head.
He longed to meet some exciting and fun people or things, but along the way, there was only war and war, and he didn't encounter anything new. That's why he felt bored and wanted to end the experience as soon as possible and go home.
"I heard that there is a river in Donglai County that stretches for thousands of kilometers. Legend has it that a dragon fell into this river in the past, hence the name. You might as well go and take a look before you leave." Li Pu suddenly mentioned.
The old servant opened his mouth when he heard it, but in the end he didn't say much, just agreed.
He thought in his heart that the young master would probably be disappointed again.
How could this Luolong River really have a dragon fall here? It's just an ordinary river.
