Qiu Zhengping was somewhat troubled by Liu Yunqing's question.

He thought for a while before carefully saying:

"It should be in the center of the secret realm."

"should?"

Liu Yunqing found it unbelievable, and Qiu Zhengping quickly explained:

"I've been there twice, and I always felt that the location was a little different each time, but I always felt that it should be in the center of the secret realm, a particularly scorching place."

Liu Yunqing's heart skipped a beat, and he grasped the key point, saying:

"The locations are different each time? What time did you enter the ruins each time?"

"I didn't enter the ruins, I only went into that area of ​​water, and each time I came out I disappeared."

Qiu Zhengping first corrected Liu Yunqing's statement, then carefully recalled:

"However, both times I saw that ruined mansion, it seemed to be when the moon was high in the sky?"

Liu Yunqing had a general idea in mind, and took out the secret realm map given to him by Chunyu Changfeng to examine it.

"Here, here, and here are all locations where fire elemental energy is more active, so they should meet your requirements."

"Senior Qiu, take a look and see which place is the closest. Let's head straight there."

Qiu Zhengping looked at the locations on the map, pointing at them with his finger for a long time, but in the end he still couldn't find a similar place.

"It's strange. Every part seems a bit like it, but every part seems different."

"Where exactly is it?"

Liu Yunqing suddenly regretted it. He had agreed to the treasure hunt in the Fusang Secret Realm without being persuaded, and now he was in a dilemma.

She needs to make the most of her time to cultivate!

The only saving grace is that no matter which location on the map, it's in an area where fire elemental energy is active, so taking time to cultivate shouldn't interfere with anything.

Thinking this through, Liu Yunqing closed the map, stopped asking Qiu Zhengping, and made a decision directly:

"In that case, let's search each place one by one."

Qiu Zhengping had no better option than to agree and follow behind Liu Yunqing.

Looking at the figure in front of him, dressed in a narrow-sleeved red robe, holding a precious bow, always on guard, and moving swiftly and nimbly, Qiu Zhengping felt for the first time that he was being crushed.

Back when he was in the sect, no matter how his fellow disciples called him stupid or dull, he didn't take it to heart, nor did he think his fellow disciples were particularly capable.

Because he was very confident in his cultivation, even though for some reason no elder was willing to take him as a disciple, his cultivation speed was no slower than that of those direct disciples.

Now, in front of Liu Yunqing, the other party has never belittled him once. Even if he doesn't understand him, compared to other fellow disciples, he is the most patient person with him.

It was precisely because of this that Qiu Zhengping realized for the first time that he was truly stupid and mediocre, and understood more clearly what a genius should be like.

Liu Yunqing, who was walking ahead, had no idea that this seemingly silly, big guy who seemed to know nothing but cultivation was actually feeling a little inferior.

She was focused on getting ahead, using her powerful divine sense to avoid the monster's lair as much as possible.

"Senior Qiu, it seems we've arrived at the first location."

Liu Yunqing looked at the map and gazed at the lush greenery before her, her voice tinged with confusion.

Shouldn't this place be filled with fire-attribute things, all red?

What does it mean that it's all so green?

Qiu Zhengping snapped out of his slump and walked over to Liu Yunqing's side, saying:

"Is something wrong? Let me see—what the hell is this!"

Before Qiu Zhengping could finish speaking, he suddenly leaped into the air, letting out a painful scream.

Liu Yunqing looked up and saw that one of his trouser legs was torn, and his bare calf was covered in a bright red burn.

At the same time, Liu Yunqing sensed something unusual beside her. She turned her head and came face to face with a huge, open, fiery red mouth.

"Waaah—"

"Bang—"

Liu Yunqing didn't even see what it was before she took advantage of the moment when the fiery red mouth opened to bite her and threw a large fireball into its mouth.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Liu Yunqing retreated and simultaneously made a hand seal. As the fireball exploded, the fiery red mouth that had swallowed the large fireball was also blasted into pieces.

Liu Yunqing landed and looked at the exploded fragments, piecing together the true form of the fiery red maw, which turned out to be just a random flower bud in the lush greenery before her.

As the fiery red maw was blasted open, the entire impenetrable green world seemed to be awakened by some kind of aura and began to rustle.

It sounded like the wind blowing through the forest, but upon closer inspection, it turned out that the surrounding trees and flowers were actually moving.

With this movement, cracks appeared in the original lush greenery, revealing the color of fire within the green, and the fire elemental energy in the air gradually became more active and concentrated.

"So this is the true nature of this place! So this is where the fire elemental energy comes from!"

After Qiu Zhengping finished applying medicine to his injured calf, he walked up to Liu Yunqing and looked at the scene before him with a sense of wonder and amazement.

Liu Yunqing twirled the Purple Spirit Bow in his hand, eager to try it out:

"Since we're already here, let's have a fight before we leave!"

Judging from Qiu Zhengping's performance, this place is clearly not where the ruins of the mansion appeared. But since we need to train anyway, let her go in and see if she can gain anything.

Seeing Liu Yunqing charge into the red and green woods without warning, Qiu Zhengping quickly followed.

He may not be good at using his brain, but he's definitely not lagging behind when it comes to fighting!

His idea was quickly proven wrong once again.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

"Bang bang bang—"

Liu Yunqing kept drawing his bow, and explosions echoed through the forest. Looking down at the ground, he saw the gaping maws of man-eating plants piled up like small mountains.

Qiu Zhengping looked at his own mangled, bloody, and pathetic state, and then compared it to Liu Yunqing's.

Yes, she does seem to dislike bloody scenes.

But that doesn't diminish her ferocity at all!

The thought that his cultivation level was a whole grade higher than his opponent's made Qiu Zhengping swing his two hammers even faster.

The next moment, Liu Yunqing suddenly stopped, and he couldn't help but turn his head and ask:

"What's wrong, Fellow Daoist Zhenru? Are you tired of fighting?"

Liu Yunqing glared at him, frantically absorbing spiritual energy while keeping a wary eye on what lay ahead, and said:

"The younger one was beaten, and the older one has finally come out."

"Hmph! Greedy humans! Who gave you permission to slaughter so many of my descendants!"

Liu Yunqing turned his longbow around, placed it to his side, looked up at the tree branches hanging from the sky, and said:

"Why bother with all this high-sounding talk? Aren't most of the humans buried in this region also people you lured here into?"

The drooping branch snorted coldly, somewhat annoyed and angry, and said:

"So what? Neither of you are leaving here today!"

As he spoke, the branch suddenly appeared like a wing hanging from the sky, pressing down on Liu Yunqing and the other person. The originally emerald green branch instantly revealed its fiery red interior after unfolding and pressing down.

The two people standing nearby, Liu Yunqing and Liu Yunqing, felt the entire sky darken and an endless pressure descend from above.

The two men's expressions changed instantly, and they immediately activated their defensive magic items, launching an attack on the tree branch at the same time.

Upon seeing their actions, the mocking sound of the tree branch echoed in their ears:

"Hmph! You overconfident little brats, today I'll show you whether you can afford to offend me!"

Before the words were even finished, the entire tree branch glowed brightly red, instantly illuminating the entire area.
