Almost the instant Tianchen took to the air, the five people still lying on the ground simultaneously realized something was wrong and got up. Dong Hongxuan asked in confusion, "What's going on?"

The next moment, her eyes widened as she looked at the end of her line of sight, at a small group of people rapidly approaching, and a large herd of beasts chasing after them.

Someone shouted "Run!" and the five of them snapped back to reality, turned around, and took off running.

People in the distance had already noticed the commotion and, regardless of who it was, rushed over and chased after them relentlessly.

As they chased, someone shouted, "Fellow Daoists ahead, wait! Save us!"

The voice was very familiar to all five of them; it was clearly the same person who had tried to steal their Dream Grass by relying on their superior numbers.

Upon hearing this, Shushu and the others were far from willing to stop and help them.

Thus, this scene unfolded in the secret realm: a dozen people were chasing after five people and a fox, while a group of spirit beasts were chasing after the dozen or so people, like dog skin plasters, with no one able to shake off the others.

They ran for half a day, taking pills as they went, but the people behind them were fixated on them and couldn't shake them off no matter what.

In the end, Tianchen couldn't stand it anymore, so he grabbed Shushu and the others and dashed away, finally shaking off the group of people and spirit beasts behind them.

They carefully chose a cave, set up layers of protective formations, and agreed to take turns keeping watch before they could finally catch their breath.

Once they had all recovered their strength and felt refreshed, the five of them removed the barrier formation and prepared to continue searching for the remaining six Dream Grasses.

Unexpectedly, as soon as they stepped out of the cave, they discovered that something was wrong outside. The surroundings were eerily quiet, with a sense of calm before a storm.

Just when they thought something terrible had happened, they heard various noises coming from afar, accompanied by different colored lights.

Without any discussion, everyone spontaneously put invisibility and concealment talismans on themselves, silently huddled in the corner, not daring to make a sound, waiting for the commotion to approach.

They didn't have to wait long. Soon, they clearly saw a small group of people being chased by a group of spirit beasts.

The first group had barely gotten close when a second group of identical beasts, also a group of spirit beasts, charged in from the other side, chasing after the cultivators. Then came the third and fourth groups.

Upon meeting, the cultivators' eyes welled with tears, while the spirit beasts roared with excitement.

The spirit beasts didn't care which cultivator they attacked; they attacked anyone they saw.

It was as if people had dug up their ancestral graves and stolen their homes, but they couldn't kill the people, so they could only chase after them.

Most importantly, these spirit beasts had clear eyes, without any trace of Chinese medicine, as if they simply disliked humans.

The five exchanged glances, then secretly looked at Tianchen, whose expression was unreadable. Remembering the madman who had sprinkled the powder earlier, they all silently shut their mouths.

Then, having figured out the situation, the five of them remained completely hidden, keeping themselves invisible at all times. While everyone else was being chased by the spirit beasts, they quietly collected enough Dream Grass.

The completion of the Dream Grass mission means that they can leave at any time by tearing open the teleportation array in their storage ring.

Following this, Tianchen, having learned that they were free to leave the small secret realm and were preparing to go with them, led everyone back to its territory.

They threw the three men into a small cave, then took the glutinous rice ball to its real den, making disparaging remarks about it as they walked along the road.

It was only intended to take Shushu with it, but Lu Li was worried and refused to let Shushu go with it alone.

Having no other choice, Tianchen, who needed Shushu's help, had to reluctantly agree in the end.

Then, after many twists and turns, Tianchen returned to the cave and began his treasure-hunting journey.

Just as a broken home is worth a fortune, they wouldn't let Shushu Luli help them.

Tianchen rummaged around here and there, scratching at the cave ceiling and digging at the cave floor, occasionally crawling into the network of passageways.

Before long, it produced a large pile of spiritual plants and fruits covered in soil, of various attributes, and piled them all in front of the millet.

Seeing how busy it was after it returned, Shushu didn't presume to think that these were all gifts from Tianchen.

Therefore, she did not reach out and touch the pile of things in front of her, but just looked at them curiously.

Finally, when the spiritual plants had almost filled the entire cave, Tianchen brought a bright green plant to the yam.

"I've heard that your clan's space is dynamic and can be used to grow spiritual plants. Could you help me plant these?"

At this point, perhaps worried that the yam would refuse, it added, "Don't worry, you won't have planted them for nothing. After the spirit plants and spirit fruit trees mature, we'll split them 30/70, you get 70% and I get 30%."

After speaking, Tianchen stared longingly at Shushu with his fox-like eyes.

When Shushu met those fox-like eyes that were deliberately acting cute and coquettish, and considering that the other party's profit sharing was truly generous, he couldn't bring himself to refuse. The deal was struck.

With a wave of her hand, Shushu collected all the spiritual plants that covered the cave and asked her friends in the space to help plant them.

Afterwards, in order to make it easier to leave the small secret realm, and also for the sake of that transaction, Tianchen signed an equal contract with Shushu, and Shushu also briefly introduced his friends to Tianchen.

Of course, this also includes the few on Lu Li's side who love to join in the fun.

Tianchen also realized once again that the bond between Shushu and Luli was really deep, and his attitude towards Luli became a little better.
