Chapter 300 Gentle Senior Brother 8 Unlike the young cultivators, Zi Xi seemed oblivious to all the discussions and gazes around her, like an old monk in meditation, her aura calm and serene.

Her mind was completely absorbed in adjusting herself, recalling the secret map that her master had personally drawn for her.

The map marks several areas where Frostweed and Sunflower might grow.

These two spiritual herbs are helpful to her senior brothers, as well as to her current efforts to consolidate her foundation and harmonize the slight stagnation caused by the incomplete cultivation technique within her body.

She had already chosen a relatively secluded path in her mind, a path said to have traces of frost-covered grass.

Just then, a deliberately raised, coquettish laugh came from the direction of the Hidden Sword Peak team ahead.

"Oh my, Senior Brother Wang, your newly acquired Heart-Protecting Mirror is so radiant, it's probably close to the level of a spiritual artifact! Master really dotes on you!"

"Senior Sister Li, the patterns on this bottle of Rejuvenation Pills are clear, and the aroma is rich. It must have been made by Elder Dan Ding, right? I'm truly envious!"

Lin Wanwan was surrounded by several inner disciples of the Tianyan Sect, her voice clear and exaggerated.

She had dressed up specially for today, wearing a brand-new snow-white sword robe adorned with exquisite silver patterns, and a shimmering defensive jade hairpin in her hair.

She wore a tinkling Qingxin Bell on her wrist, and she was like a peacock spreading its tail feathers, showing off her superior treatment as the personal disciple of the Sword Master.

As she spoke, her gaze would occasionally drift towards the blue figure resting with its eyes closed on the rock.

Seeing that Zi Xi had no reaction, Lin Wanwan's jealousy and hatred intensified.

"Hey, look, isn't that Sister Liu from Hidden Peak? Why is she sleeping alone there?"

"This secret realm is fraught with danger, sister, you must be very careful. If you are not well prepared, it is still not too late to retreat now, after all, safety is the most important thing."

She deliberately raised her voice, her tone feigning concern.

What he said sounded like concern, but was actually full of ridicule and curses.

The Tianyan Sect disciples around her also let out low sneers in agreement, their gazes towards Zixi clearly mocking her overestimation of her abilities.

However, Zi Xi's eyelashes didn't even tremble.

She seemed to be enveloped in an invisible protective shield, keeping out all malice.

That complete disregard made Lin Wanwan and her group feel more frustrated and angry than any sharp counterattack.

It was like punching cotton; instead, they looked like clowns.

"Keep up the act, let's see how long you can be so smug! Once you're inside the secret realm, see how I deal with you!"

Lin Wanwan's smile almost vanished as she cursed viciously in her heart.

Meanwhile, in the center of the arena, Mu Yuan was mingling with the leaders and disciples of several other major sects.

Today he changed into a more formal moon-white robe with cloud patterns. Tall and elegant, he smiled and spoke with grace, his every move exuding charm.

He maintained the dignified demeanor of the senior disciple of the Tianyan Sect while appearing approachable, easily becoming the focus of everyone's attention.

He discussed formations with the disciples of Liuli Island, exchanged body-refining experiences with the warriors of the Vajra Sect, and identified spiritual herbs with the disciples of Baicao Valley.

However, in his seemingly casual gaze, there would always be a subtle, natural sweep over that most secluded corner.

When he saw a female disciple flaunting herself around Zi Xi like a butterfly, while Little Ice Cube remained unmoved, closing his eyes to rest, the formulaic smile on his lips deepened, taking on a touch of authenticity.

That little ice cube never disappointed him.

At that moment, the energy in the world suddenly fluctuated violently.

The spatial rift shone brightly, and the distorted halo gradually stabilized to form a light gate that could be passed through, exuding a vast and ancient aura.

"The secret realm has opened!"

Someone shouted.

The crowd instantly became restless.

"Disciples of the Tianyan Sect, follow me inside."
