At the end of the secret passage in the Immortal Realm is a teleportation array that will take you to the backyard of your private residence in Wanfa City.

Before she left, Saliyah repeatedly told her to keep her location a secret and warned her to disguise herself as a traveling merchant, otherwise the big trumpet flower wouldn't let her pass.

Zhao Xi thought it would be easy for her to disguise herself as a traveling merchant, but she wondered how Tong Yue would manage.

The ancient trees reach for the sky, requiring one to crane their neck to see their crowns. When the wind blows, the branches sway like ghostly claws, and leaves gently fall from the heights.

Large trumpet-shaped vines clung to the branches and exposed roots, their tendrils intertwined. Inside the tangled nest, a trumpet-shaped flower, as large as Zhao Xixiang, lay with its bud closed, as if asleep.

A very light breeze was blowing in the air, rhythmically rustling back and forth across the leaves, which were about half an arm's length long.

Based on her experience dealing with the little flower fairies in the outer mountains, Zhao Xi figured that this must be the big flower fairy breathing.

Fairies don't need to sleep; they might just be pretending to be dead.

After all, she was just a mortal.

Zhao Xi hesitated for a moment about how to wake it up, and finally decided to bribe it by taking out the ointment from the ring.

The ointment was opened, releasing a slight scent of wood.

The flower bud trembled, as if it had been startled.

Zhao Xi tried to spread the ointment on the back of her hand, and a layer of green wood spirit energy spread out.

The petals of the trumpet flower unfolded instantly, revealing long anthers within the hollow flower, but each anther had a human head growing on it.

They looked down at him with disdain; not even a single hair on his head could escape their keen eyes.

Zhao Xi was so frightened that her heart skipped a beat. Holding the spirit stone lamp, she stood frozen in terror.
