Heidan shook twice and then fell silent. Now it would be a long time before he could go out. Alas.

Looking at the motionless black egg, Yun Dandan felt a toothache. It had been nurtured for such a long time and finally broke out of the shell, but now it was patched up again. What was going on? My spiritual power is free, right?

…

Soon, the day of opening the sect's secret realm arrived. Early in the morning, someone was dragged to the square and listened to the sect master's nagging.

"All disciples must not harm the lives of other disciples within the sect once you enter. The tokens in your hands will shatter if you are fatally injured, and you will then be taken out of the secret realm."

"The secret realm is divided into three areas: the low-level Qi Refining area, the middle-high-level Qi Refining area, and the Foundation Establishment area. They are not connected."

"The secret realm will be open for half a month. When the time comes, it will be automatically cleared. Now everyone, please enter."

Where everyone's eyes were focused, a light blue vortex was slowly spinning.

Some brave ones had already rushed in quickly, and those who were looking around hesitated for a moment and then went in as well.

"Junior sister, protect yourself after you go in and don't get seriously injured. But you can rest assured, if anyone hurts you inside, come out and tell your brother, and wait for him outside the sect."

"Thank you, Second Brother. You should be careful too."

"Well, don't worry, we're all here together, there won't be any problems. Let's go."

Yue Yang greeted his three fellow apprentices and disappeared from the sight of outsiders.

"Jiji, if I go in there, can I still enter your secret realm?"

"No, but it can be used as storage space."

"oh."

Seeing that most people had left, Yun Dandan stepped into the secret realm.

His body floated down to the ground, and after looking around, he chose the direction of the dense forest. "Where is this? The spiritual energy seems to be very rich."

Jiji came out from her chest, sniffed and said, "Mountains and canyons, similar to where I met you, Master."

"Can you smell this?"

"Of course, this is a secret realm. I am a realm spirit, so naturally I can understand it."

Yun Dandan's eyes lit up, "Then do you know where the inheritance and treasures of this secret realm are?"

"I can sense the approximate location, but I can't control it. You need to find it yourself, Master."

"Okay, okay, just tell me where it is and I'll take care of the rest."

Jiji landed on my shoulder and stretched out his little paw, "Let's go south."

…

"Jiji, you're good at this. What kind of fruit is on this tree?"

"Lingyun Fruit, eating it increases spiritual power, and has no side effects."

"Dig it up."

"ah?"

Jiji opened his eyes wide, "Master, are you trying to pluck the feathers of a passing goose?"

"What do you mean by plucking? I'm doing this to prevent it from dying here. Then it won't be able to bear fruit."

"……", this reason is really far-fetched.

"Start digging."

Yun Dandan walked to the tree with a sword in her hand and started digging, really intending to dig it away.

Jiji covered his face with his little paws. Not only did his owner not give him a good name, but why did he seem so unintelligent in doing things?

"Master, let me do it. No need to dig."

"What?"

Yun turned her head lightly, "How can we do it if we don't dig?"

Jiji waved his hand, and after a series of earthquakes, he successfully dug a big hole in the ground in front of his owner's shocked gaze, and the tree was directly taken into his own secret realm.

"Where did you go?"

"I've planted it in my secret space, so you can eat it as you please from now on."

"How come you're so awesome?"

"Hehe, if the master wants to dig up trees in the future, I can help."

Jiji's eyes were full of pride, "This is a piece of cake."

"Okay, let's go and continue treasure hunting."

One man and one spirit, they just kept picking fruits and fleecing the sheep along the way. Except for grass and trees, which were worthless, there was basically nothing else left.

…

"Jiji, why can't I get through here? It seems like there's glass."

Yun Dandan's face was covered in the empty space in front of her, and it could be seen from her cheeks being pushed that there was indeed something blocking it.

Jiji also climbed on it and licked it, "Master, this is a spiritual barrier, used to block it."

"It's used to block it? Could it be that there are some rare treasures inside?"

As she thought about this, she completely forgot what her senior brother had said about the area.

"Can we go in? This barrier is so strong, there must be something good inside."

Jiji rolled his round eyes when he heard this and said, "Master, I have a solution."

"What method?"

"Generally, spiritual energy barriers only block things with spiritual energy. Master, would you like to waste your Dantian?"

"What!? What did you say?"

Yun Dandan widened her eyes as she looked at Jiji, who was licking the screen beside her. "You are my contracted spirit, yet you want me, your master, to destroy my own Dantian? You've eaten all the bamboo shoots on the bamboo mountain."

"Bamboo shoots? Are they delicious?" Jiji turned around and looked at his owner.

“……”, if anyone stops me, I want to beat it to death.

“It’s not tasty!”

Yun Dandan sat on the ground, thinking about what Jiji had just said, and reached out to touch the jade pendant around her neck.

"Please bless me to go in!"

After a while, she stood up and walked towards the barrier, closing her eyes as she walked, and she also pulled her pet Jiji who was still licking the screen.

"Oh! Master, I haven't licked enough yet. This is all power."

"Shut up."

A flash of light passed by, and a man and a spirit walked through the barrier, opening their eyes only when they felt it was almost time.

"Huh? Master, how did you do that?"

Yun Dandan smiled complacently, "Hehe, there is nothing your master can't do, but why is there no cave here?"

Looking at the wilderness around them and the endless horizon ahead, the man and the spirit fell into silence.

"Oh no! Could this be the area for foundation-building cultivators?"

"Master, are you crossing the line?"

"Aren't you talking nonsense? Go, go, go, turn back quickly, ah ah..., my life is about to die!"

Jiji looked at the deserted wilderness around him, shrank his neck... uh, body, turned around and flew away quickly.

"Master, hurry up, I'll be waiting for you in front!"

"Don't run so fast, you coward."

"I'm not a coward, I'm just trying to protect myself..."

Yun Dandan: “…”, is this how this word is used?

Soon, a man and a spirit arrived at the barrier. She once again tightly grasped the jade pendant, silently prayed for blessings, and passed through.

"Master, I'd better go back. It's too dangerous outside."

Jiji didn't care whether there was a response or not, and went straight back to the contract space, leaving only one person staring.

"You have somewhere to go back to, but where should I go back to?"

"Let's go back to the low-level area. Now that I'm in the contract space, I can't help my master hide from others. Be careful."

"Don't be a coward, I don't want to run into anyone else, just come out."

"No, ah, I'm going to hibernate."

Hibernation? Yun Dandan was slightly shocked. What the hell, hibernation? He really thinks he is a bear.

"well."

He sighed softly, took out his sword and released his spiritual sense to explore the surroundings. He continued to move forward only after he was sure there was no danger.

…

"Lin Dazhu, let go of what you're holding."
