When the blue lotus lantern is raised.

The Azure Emperor's Secret Realm is teeming with life.

Caixia followed Qin Luo barefoot, dressed in a colorful outfit, with two buns on her head.

A fiery red ahoge (cowlick) emerged from Qin Luo's pocket.

The little girl, carrying the spirit fruit, perched on Qin Luo's shoulder. Her face was rosy and she looked full of energy. "Boss, are the spirit fruit in your pocket for me?"

"Give some to Caixia."

Qin Luo looked at the little girl at his feet.

The little dumpling looked at Caixia with her bun hairstyle and thought she was very cute. She divided the spirit fruit in half and said, "The newcomer will be following Sister Dumpling from now on. You'll have a good time."

"Thank you, Sister Tuanzi."

Caixia caught the spirit fruit that the little dumpling threw to her.

The little dumpling finished half of the spirit fruit in two or three bites. She sat on Qin Luo's shoulder, swinging her short legs and singing, "Chirp chirp chirp chirp..."

Qin Luo was too lazy to talk to her anymore.

Caixia quietly ate the spirit fruit, thinking to herself that this was what the spirit fruit everyone was fighting over tasted like.

Qin Luo looked at the delighted little girl and asked, "Caixia, when does the secret realm end?"

"Big brother, the secret realm will end soon. At that time, there will be energy to teleport the cultivators out. I wonder if I can go out with you." Caixia was a little worried. After all, the restriction left by the Azure Emperor did not allow her to leave unless the Azure Emperor's secret realm collapsed.

Qin Luo smiled slightly and said seriously, "Don't worry, I will take you away."

Caixia nodded heavily. Qin Luo had given her a new life, and the feeling he gave her was completely different from that of Qingdi. To her, Qingdi was her master, while Qin Luo was more like an older brother.

As they walked, a soft blue light appeared in the secret realm, and the cultivators were successively teleported to the mountain peak outside the secret realm.

Caixia remained standing beside Qin Luo, the bright sunlight shining on her, making her feel particularly comfortable. In the distance was the bustling city of Jiangling, with boats coming and going on the river.

"The world is so lively!"

"Qinghelou is located in the bustling city center."

Qin Luo pointed to Jiangling City in the distance.

The number of cultivators leaving the secret realm was significantly less. Many cultivators remained in the secret realm forever, while many who had gained great fortune left immediately.

The longer you stay, the more likely you are to get into trouble.

With many senior experts providing support, the number of cultivators on the mountaintop quickly dwindled to less than half.

Guan Yuqing asked with a smile, "Junior Brother Chu, would you like to come back to the capital with us?"

Chu Peiran smiled and shook her head, "Senior sister, I'm going to the north to visit a senior from the academy."

"Junior Brother Chu, please take care."

"Senior sister, if you have feelings for this fellow Daoist, I can put in a good word for you."

"roll!"

Guan Yuqing was so angry with him that she left.

Meng Qingyun and the others left with smiles.

Chu Peiran came to Qin Luo's side, looked at the little dumpling and Caixia, and raised an eyebrow, "Brother Dao, how did you end up with two chubby little girls?"

"You're the fat one."

The little dumpling stood up with its tuft of hair sticking up.

At this moment, Gui Chen walked over, and a pig's head emerged from the golden bowl in his hand. "What a beautiful spring day..."

Bang!

The pig demon was knocked unconscious again.

Qin Luo said with a smile, "She is Little Dumpling, a little sparrow living near Dragon Tiger Temple, and she is Caixia, originally a lamp spirit in the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm."

"I am the Great Protector of Longhu Temple!"

The little dumpling stood on Qin Luo's shoulder, hands on her hips, as if she had trampled all the heavens and the world under her feet.

Wow, that's amazing!

Chu Peiran gave a thumbs up.

The little dumpling proudly raised its tuft of hair.

Qin Luo shook his head and asked with a smile, "Brother Chu, did you gain anything from this secret realm?"

Chu Peiran did not hide anything and said with a smile, "Many of the books we obtained from the Azure Emperor's collection are classics passed down through generations, and there is even an Imperial Scripture."

Chu Peiran looked at the tall monk and asked, "Master Guichen, have you received any good fortune?"

"The Azure Emperor's Secret Realm gifted me a leaf, from which this humble monk has benefited greatly," Gui Chen said with gratitude.

When Shen Jian found Qin Luo, he bowed and said earnestly, "Brother Qin, if you ever need me, I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation."

"Brother Shen, I hope you can cultivate diligently and one day become the number one swordsman." Qin Luo said earnestly with a smile on his face.

Shen Jian nodded heavily, his eyes rippled. He had never been emotional when facing death, but now he was almost in tears because of Qin Luo's blessing.

"Brother Qin, until we meet again!"

Chen Jianyi bowed and took his leave of Qin Luo.

Qin Luo returned the greeting with a cupped hand, saying, "Have a safe journey."

Shen Jianyi led the Lingjian Sect disciples onto the immortal ship. He kept this kindness in his heart and vowed to repay it if Qin Luo ever needed him in the future.

Luo Xiao watched as Chen Jianyi left. He had been severely injured by Chen Jianyi's sword, but he recovered so quickly and his strength had even increased to a higher level. Even Luo Xiao felt threatened by Chen Jianyi.

He knew it must be related to Qin Luo.

After leaving the Azure Emperor's Secret Realm, Jin Tianshen slunk away, too ashamed to linger on the mountaintop.

Jiang Qingxue approached Qin Luo, smiled gently, and handed him a snow-white jade pendant. "Brother Qin, you have helped me a lot. I hope this jade pendant will be of use to you."

Qin Luo did not refuse.

He accepted the snow-white jade pendant.

Chu Peiran chuckled and joked, "This isn't some kind of love token, is it?"

I believe in you!

Little Tuanzi likes Jiang Qingxue.

Because Jiang Qingxue saved her in the secret realm.

Jiang Qingxue smiled and said softly, "Brother Qin, if you encounter any trouble in the Immortal Realm in the future, you can take out the jade pendant, which may save you some trouble."

Chu Peiran said in a deep voice: "Ordinary cultivators who ascend to immortality through tribulation are regarded as wild cultivators by the forces of the immortal realm. Without a background, they will indeed have a lot of trouble in the immortal realm."
