Within the Xunfeng Secret Realm, on a grassy field beside a scenic pool, Lu Li was skillfully using a grill to roast a low-level carnivorous spirit chicken called Xuetong Chicken, turning it over every now and then.

"Splash."

Suddenly, a lively fish, as if caught by something, was thrown out of the lake and landed with a splash at Lu Li's feet.

Lu Li looked at the fish that was thrown ashore but still tried to jump back into the water. Without the slightest hesitation, he flicked it on the head.

Once he was sure the fish was unconscious, he gently called out to the lake, "Junior Sister, the chicken leg is cooked. Come up and eat it first before catching more."

After saying that, he deliberately wafted the aroma of the roasted meat towards the lake, clearly trying to entice the meat.

Sure enough, the next moment, a childish voice came from the lake: "Okay, I'm coming back."

Then, Shushu emerged from the middle of the lake. After emerging, Shushu first waved its paws at Lu Li, and then used its four little paws to swim quickly.

She swam very fast and soon reached the shore, where she climbed ashore.

The moment it got ashore, it used a drying technique on itself, drying its fur, clothes, and hat before happily heading towards Lu Li and the barbecue stall.

Seeing the Ling chicken meat, which had been roasted to a glossy color and had an enticing aroma, he first took a deep breath of the fragrance and revealed a slightly intoxicated expression.

Then he took out a storage ring and showed it to Lu Li like a treasure, his eyes sparkling.

"Senior Brother, I caught so many fish again."

Seeing this, Lu Li naturally took the storage ring from her hand, gently patted her head, and placed the sweet potato on the small table and chair specially prepared for her.

She tore off a chicken leg, cast a spell to bring it to the perfect temperature, and placed it in the bowl in front of Shushu: "Okay, Junior Sister is great, eat the chicken leg first."

Faced with the delicious-looking and fragrant roasted chicken leg, Shushu didn't bother to say anything and started eating it with gusto, occasionally squinting his eyes to savor the taste, thoroughly enjoying himself.

Seeing her blissful expression, Lu Li's expression softened even more. He tore off another chicken leg and two wings for her, while he quickly devoured the rest.

As for why a phoenix, a mythical beast, would eat chicken, that's a trivial matter. Anyway, it will never admit that it and the Snow Tong Chicken are in the same class.

He is a divine beast, the Phoenix. How can the Snow Tong Chicken, a low-level spirit beast that can never gain intelligence and cultivate, be compared to him?

As Lu Li ate, he comforted himself and quickly convinced himself, and he ate with even more gusto. He had never realized before that this roasted snow vine chicken was actually quite delicious.

Soon, with the combined efforts of the two students, a roast chicken was eaten down to a pile of bones.

After the millet was eaten, Lu Li didn't need to help. With a single cleaning spell, everything was cleaned up perfectly, without even a trace of oil.

Indeed, cultivating immortality is a great thing that frees up your hands; these little spells are simply a blessing for mankind.

Then, Shushu jumped into the lake and caught a lot of fish. After Lu Li told her that Wen Jianxi had already set off, she nimbly went ashore, snuggled into Lu Li's clothes, and continued to follow.

While walking, he kept in touch with Xu Ruoyun from another team, as well as Tutu.

Yes, once you enter the Xunfeng Secret Realm, as long as the distance isn't too far, you can still contact others through the communication jade tablet.

Shortly after they entered, they each went in different directions to find Dark Flame Leaf. Lu Li took Shushu, Gu Borong and Xu Ruoyun took Tutu, and Fu Ziang teamed up with Hu Hong.

Whether it was too much of a coincidence or not, not long after Lu Li set off with Shushu, he spotted Wen Jianxi traveling alone ahead.

Remembering that it was Wen Jianxi who found the Dark Flame Leaf in their previous life, the senior and junior disciples hit it off and decided to secretly follow Wen Jianxi until she found the Dark Flame Leaf.

Of course, following Wen Jianxi doesn't mean they won't get anything.

The senior and junior disciples are all more cunning than the last, and with Gu Borong and Fu Ziang offering advice from afar, every time Wen Jianxi discovers something good, they manage to swindle it away.

Moreover, because of Lu Li, a powerful figure, everything was done quietly and without fanfare.

Having been in the secret realm for over half a month, Wen Jianxi hadn't gained anything at all. Instead, she was constantly being chased by various spirit beasts in the secret realm for no apparent reason, which was truly a miserable experience.

During this time, Wen Jianxi even suspected that she had been drugged with beast-attracting powder again, and that she had been completely changed from head to toe, and her hair was almost washed bald.

Unfortunately, all her efforts were in vain. She kept encountering spirit beasts and was constantly chased around by all sorts of them.

Unfortunately, the spirit of the artifact had not yet awakened, so she couldn't even hide inside. She could only flee for her life with a mournful face.

He even began to regret why he hadn't stayed in his own sect, but instead asked Hua Roumiao to find a way to bring her in.

Coming here is purely for suffering; there's not a shred of opportunity to be had!

The more Wen Jianxi thought about it, the more she regretted it. But in order to survive, she had to force herself to stay strong. She truly experienced what despair meant.

If it weren't for the various sects and factions that came in, Wen Jianxi would have wanted to confront the Tianyan Sect directly and ask them to protect her.

Unfortunately, remembering the fear of being scanned by the divine sense of a Nascent Soul cultivator before, and the danger of being assassinated, she ultimately suppressed the thought and dared not show her face again.

This made Shushu, who was secretly following behind her, even more enthusiastic. He even gave a live broadcast to his senior brothers and sisters, as well as Tutu.

This amused Xu Ruoyun so much that if it weren't for the distance and her mission, she would have wanted to come along and join in the fun and watch the show.

Seeing how much fun Shushu was having, Lu Li played along even more, stirring up trouble out of nothing, which made Wen Jianxi's life even more miserable.

As Wen Jianxi suffered a series of misfortunes, the luck she had absorbed was rapidly returning to its original owner.

The shackles on Xiaotiandao's other hand also quietly broke.

The immortal in the upper realm felt a momentary tremor when the shackles broke. He rushed to the mirror and examined it carefully for a long time, but could not find any clues.

She wanted to go down to the mortal realm to take a look herself, but she was held back by her opponent.

Furthermore, since the palpitations had disappeared and she couldn't recall anything she had overlooked when recalling her plans, she simply assumed it was an illusion.

After all, she would have to pay a price for going down to the mortal realm. With rivals watching her closely, she dared not take any more risks, for fear that her schemes and plans would be discovered.

Meanwhile, Shushu, who was following behind Wen Jianxi, finally sensed her rushing towards a canyon.
