C161 Joining Hands(part Ii)
Initially, he thought that if his performance was outstanding enough, he would be able to join the Unification Sect as an alchemist. He might even be valued by the Unification Sect. But now, it seemed like... The Unification Sect had only recruited them as cannon fodder.
In the eyes of the cultivator, they were all alchemists below the Core Sea Stage. It was afraid that no one could be related to the word 'outstanding'. Therefore... That was why the Unification Sect didn't hesitate to let these alchemists assist the Cultivating Warrior and enter the secret realm with an unimportant identity.
One could imagine that after they entered the secret realm, they would hand the pill over to those Cultivating Warrior. After that, those Cultivating Warriors would definitely be sent to explore the secret realm. Then, these alchemists would no longer have anyone to protect them.
Compared to the simple cultivation of the Cultivating Warrior, the strength of most alchemists would be slightly lower. The secret realm was obviously very dangerous. Without the protection of the Cultivating Warrior, who knew what kind of danger they would encounter? Who knew how many people would die?
However, in the eyes of the cultivator of Unification Sect, this was completely within their expectations. Perhaps they had already predicted that a certain number of people would die in the secret realm, or perhaps even... Even if all of them died in there, it would be fine as long as the Cultivating Warrior could return.
What the Unification Sect wanted was probably only a map of the secret realm, as well as some other details. As for alchemists, they were merely tools that could help the Cultivating Warrior increase their chances of survival after entering the secret realm.
This discovery made Lin Cheng somewhat disheartened.
In the eyes of the cultivator, their lives were not worth mentioning at all.
However, although Lin Cheng was disappointed, he didn't plan to leave. He didn't even feel depressed after thinking it through.
Because Lin Cheng knew very well that this was reality. It was very cruel, but it was fair to anyone.
Strength was everything!
Only with sufficient strength could one have the right to speak.
However, those with insufficient strength and skill in alchemy might not even be able to pass the initial test. Even if they wanted to be cannon fodder, they might not have the chance!
Furthermore, to be able to enter the secret realm, this was an opportunity that many people would risk their lives for. It might even be a great opportunity, a great opportunity. Lin Cheng was no exception. He was disappointed. It was just that the Unification Sect's way of doing things seemed to be a little too cruel. As for entering the secret realm... However, he had great expectations instead of rejecting it.
However, Lin Cheng soon shook his head and laughed in his heart. He knew that he was a little naive. The way the Unification Sect did things was not cruel. If he was Sect Master of the Unification Sect, perhaps he would have made the same decision.
Different people would naturally have different thoughts when standing in different positions. Lin Cheng, who had lived two lives, had a slight emotional fluctuation at the beginning, but he quickly regained his calm.
There was one more thing that prompted Lin Cheng to stay, and that was Zhu Ziqiao.
Although the actions of the Unification Sect were somewhat heartless, it didn't prevent the Unification Sect from being the most powerful and influential sect in the North of Dongzhou, the Cultivation Realm. If Zhu Ziqiao was able to join the Unification Sect and find a master teacher with her talent, her future would be limitless.
Lin Cheng would not waste Zhu Ziqiao's talent for his own personal gain!
Therefore, he was willing to hear what Zhou Chuan wanted to say next. After all, Zhou Chuan knew more information than him.
"Brother Lin, coming to Jiangzhou this time doesn't mean that everything will be fine. We still have to take the examination next. You should have guessed it, right?" Zhou Chuan asked.
Seeing Lin Cheng nod his head, Zhou Chuan said, "That Brother Lin should know that it is a rare opportunity to enter the secret realm. It can even be said that it will be a great opportunity!"
Lin Cheng nodded his head once more. Indeed, a secret realm was enough to cause a war between sects. The chance to enter the secret realm would also cause a storm of blood.
This opportunity could be considered a great fortune!
"Of course, entering the secret realm also means that you will face a great danger. One might even lose their life at any time." Zhou Chuan said, "But compared to this huge risk, there is a possibility that you will gain something. What? "
"Oh?"
Lin Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "I wonder what Elder Brother Zhou meant by 'harvest'?"
Zhou Chuan said in a low voice, "Brother Lin, I heard the news that Unification Sect allowed us to enter the secret realm. They didn't order us around for no reason. They planned to reward us handsomely. In exchange for our mission to explore the secret realm. "
Zhou Chuan lowered his voice even more when he said this. Only the three of them could hear him. "It is said that the rewards given by the Unification Sect are divided into two types. The first type is to reward us handsomely before entering the secret realm, so that we don't have to worry about anything. "
Lin Cheng wasn't surprised when he heard this. This should be the compensation for the safety of the men of sacrifice. What he was more curious about was the second type of reward, "Then what is the second type of reward?"
Zhou Chuan said, "The second way. Brother Lin must be interested in it. It's said that the Unification Sect intends to give anyone who can come out of the secret realm alive one of their treasures."
Swoosh!
Lin Cheng's eyes lit up when he heard this.
He could take any treasure he brought back from the secret realm!
This was a great temptation to anyone, it was simply irresistible!
However, Lin Cheng's calm disposition didn't make him too excited. Instead, he asked, "Then what would happen if he returned empty handed from the secret realm?"
Zhou Chuan was startled. Then, he smiled bitterly and said, "The secret realm has only been born less than a year since the Ancient Times. It could be imagined that even a weed in the secret realm had a certain degree of intelligence. Even if it can't obtain any treasures, it can only bring back some medicinal ingredients. It is sufficient for us to enjoy it for the rest of our lives. "
Lin Cheng could not help but nod and laugh. "That's true!"
Indeed, the reason why the mystic realm was so crazy was because... There were even... It was said that the rules of heaven and earth were extremely beneficial to many powerful beings. As long as one did not die in the mystic realm, the benefits they could obtain would far exceed their imagination!
"Does Brother Lin think that the second method is much more worthwhile than the first one?" Zhou Chuan asked.
"You have to come out of the secret realm alive. If you die in there, what can you do even if all the treasures in the secret realm are given to you?"
Lin Cheng shook his head. Although he was tempted, he did not lose his mind. The dangers in the secret realm had forced the Unification Sect to recruit people from the outside world to explore it. One could imagine that it must be the outer circle disciples and servants sent by the Unification Sect. The heavy casualties in the secret realm could be imagined how dangerous it was.
Zhou Chuan said, "This is the reason why I wanted to find Brother Lin and join forces with him!"
Seeing Lin Cheng's questioning look, Zhou Chuan said, "Does Brother Lin know why Deacon Chen asked every alchemist to only bring two Cultivating Warrior when he was in Star Luo City? That was because the Unification Sect also made such a rule. Alchemists who are qualified to enter the secret realm can also bring two Cultivating Warrior with them!"
"Oh?"
Lin Cheng was taken aback, "Alchemists can also bring people? Anyone can bring anyone?"
"Of course I can't bring people from other sects, and I can't bring people from the evil path either. Besides that, I should be able to bring anyone with me."
Zhou Chuan said, "Actually, this is also a way for the sect to protect the alchemists. Otherwise, when we enter the secret realm... Those Cultivating Warrior have gone to explore the secret realm after obtaining the pill, and we alchemists are in danger. Who will protect us? "
Lin Cheng suddenly understood. "So that's how it is!"
No wonder Zhou Chuan said that he would change his mind after he finished speaking. It turned out that Unification Sect had considered this point.

"Then what is the meaning of Elder Brother Zhou's idea of joining forces?" Lin Cheng asked.
"Brother Lin, look at Mingsheng and the other two. None of them are very strong. Right?" Zhou Chuan said, "But if the three of them join forces, even if it's a Ninth Level of Chakra Stage warrior... They may not even be their match! Because the three of them are practicing the joint attack technique! "
" The joint attack technique? "
Lin Cheng was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that Su Mingsheng and the other two practiced a technique similar to a battle formation. This technique, when used by a single Cultivating Warrior, might not be very powerful. However, if two or a few people formed a battle formation, the power would be doubled. Extremely powerful.
At this moment, Lin Cheng also knew why Zhou Chuan knew about this long ago. However, he still brought Su Mingsheng and the other two to Star Luo City instead of sending one or two of them to Jiangzhou in advance. In fact, when these three men were together, they were equivalent to a top expert. If they separated, they would be greatly discounted, and they wouldn't be able to guarantee Zhou Chuan's absolute safety.
"Brother Lin, we are still the same as when we were in Star Luo City. Help me bring Mingsheng into the secret realm. Go in. After that... If the two of us work together, not only will we be able to survive in the secret realm as much as possible... Furthermore, we will also obtain great benefits!" Zhou Chuan said.
Lin Cheng shook his head and smiled. "The final test hasn't even started yet. Is Elder Brother Zhou so sure that I can pass the test?"
Zhou Chuan smiled and said, "I'm afraid Brother Lin doesn't know yet. I don't know about other places. However, among the alchemists who passed the test in Star Luo City, you are the only one who didn't use any unorthodox methods. You didn't use any nepotism either. You passed the examination with your true ability. So, do you think you will fail the examination in the end? "
Lin Cheng was startled, and then he thought of Yan Wuqing. This man's younger brother was an outer circle disciple of Unification Sect, and this Zhou Chuan in front of him... His sister was an inner circle disciple of the Unification Sect. Judging from Zhou Chuan's tone, I'm afraid the others are more or less the same.
Lin Cheng suddenly remembered that when he participated in the assessment in the Unification Hall in Star Luo City... Deacon Chen's indifferent expression turned out that it wasn't that Deacon Chen didn't take the test seriously. It was because he thought that he had also relied on his nepotism to come here. It was just a formality...
