Ji Jiuying gave Lan Zhao a meaningful look. Now you know how to call her "good sister"? You were just hoping she would leave back in the square. Lan Zhao blushed immediately upon seeing this.

Ji Jiuying released her hand and said coldly, "Don't worry, she won't die, but it might be difficult for her to stay in this secret realm..."

After saying that, he turned and left. Lan Zhao stood there stunned. If he went out now, Xin'er would definitely be sad. Feng Yu was nowhere to be seen at the moment. Soon his gaze fell on Ji Jiuying again.

"Good sister, you must have a way to save Xin'er, right?"

"So what if it is? But why should I save them?"

Ji Jiuying didn't turn her head and continued walking forward.

Seeing her leave, Lan Zhao couldn't help but feel anxious. If she left, Xin'er would really miss this opportunity!

"Wait, wait a minute, little sister, I'll do anything you say as long as you're willing to save Xin'er!"

Lan Zhao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, he's gambling!"

Sure enough, she stopped walking. Lan Zhao was overjoyed, but Ji Jiuying's next words were like a bucket of cold water poured over him.

"Fine, I'll save her, but you'll have to be my slave."

Ji Jiuying turned around, her soul power condensing in her hand to form a golden, mysterious rune. That's right, this was the first time she had used soul magic to form a hand seal.

Lan Zhao stood there, stunned. A slave? He, the second young master of the Lan family, had actually been reduced to a slave! If his father and elder brother found out, they would beat him to death.

But the situation was urgent, giving him no chance to refuse. His fists were clenched, as if he were struggling with something.

"What? You were willing to risk your life for her just now, and now you're hesitating over a mere slave?"

Ji Jiuying came up to him, her tone filled with undisguised sarcasm.

"Okay, I promise you."

Lan Zhao hardened her heart, as if she had made up her mind. What did it matter if she became Xin'er's slave for her sake! Besides, she was the master of the divine beast, so even becoming her slave would be an honor!

Ji Jiuying's lips curled slightly, and the soul imprint in her hand instantly sank into Lan Zhao's forehead. A sharp pain from his soul came, and Lan Zhao couldn't help but frown.

"Remember this: if you dare disobey me... your soul will suffer the pain of being pierced by a thousand arrows. The first thing you need to do now is to keep your mouth shut."

As she spoke, Ji Jiuying took out a pill from her spatial storage and put it into Jiang Xin's mouth. A rich fragrance of the pill wafted towards her, but it quickly disappeared into the forest. Then, she used the healing light of the Wood Origin to treat her. She silently recited an incantation, and a continuous stream of green energy spread from her palm.

Ji Jiuying glanced at the unconscious Jiang Xin. She was really lucky. All this green energy came from her space. In this purple forest, there was only poison, so there was no ordinary green energy.

Jiang Xin's complexion turned rosy, and her injuries healed at a visible speed. Lan Zhao looked at Ji Jiuying with surprise in his eyes, thinking of his younger sister's illness... perhaps she was a glimmer of hope. Lan Zhao secretly began to have designs on Ji Jiuying.

At this moment, Ji Jiuying stopped transmitting green energy, quietly checked her pulse again, then clapped her hands and stood up.

"Good sister, when will Xin'er wake up?" Lan Zhao asked with a worried expression as he looked at the girl in his arms.

"Don't worry, she'll wake up in less than half an hour. If you're really in a hurry, you can slap her now and she'll wake up immediately. If you're too scared to do it, I can do it for you."

Lan Zhao choked and could only obediently shut his mouth.

"Since there's nothing else, I'll leave now. Remember what I just said..."

Ji Jiuying gave Lan Zhao a meaningful look before disappearing into the purple forest.

Sure enough, not long after Ji Jiuying left, Jiang Xin woke up. When she saw herself in Lan Zhao's arms, a look of disgust flashed across her eyes.

Lan Zhao asked somewhat nervously, "Xin'er, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere right now?"

After Lan Zhao reminded her, Jiang Xin remembered what had just happened. She quickly used her spiritual energy to check her body and was surprised to find that all her injuries had healed, her body was no longer in pain, and even the wounds were gone!

How could this be? Although she fainted in the end, she still vividly remembered the pain of being knocked away by the phantom beast's palm with terrifying power, the pain of broken bones and shattered meridians. How could she be completely unharmed now?

Seeing that Jiang Xin didn't speak, Lan Zhao became extremely anxious: "Xin'er? What's wrong?"

"Lan Zhao, where are those two phantom beasts? Was someone just here?"

Jiang Xin looked around in confusion.

Lan Zhao lowered his eyes, recalling what Ji Jiuying had just said.

"Indeed, people from the Dan Sect came here."

The Pill Sect? Although she wasn't an alchemist, she had been by Feng Yu's side since childhood, and her understanding of pills was no less than that of alchemists. Therefore, the injuries she had just sustained could not possibly have been healed by pills alone.

Who healed my wounds?

"Yes, it's Senior Sister." Knowing she couldn't hide it from her, Lan Zhao had no choice but to bring up Senior Sister. Only then did Jiang Xin stop pressing the matter, and Lan Zhao breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

"I knew it. Who else but my senior sister could have such great abilities? I must thank her properly when I see her."

Lan Zhao's heart leaped into his throat again upon hearing this; he knew he would have no choice but to ask his senior sister for help.

——

On the way, Ji Jiuying quickly treated the wound on her arm and continued hunting spirit beasts. She glanced at the number of words on her learning card, which was more than 3,400 points, more than double the number Xiao Yichen had mentioned. But what did it matter? She could gain experience, and the spiritual energy she obtained from hunting spirit beasts was also hers. In addition, she could exchange it for spirit treasures. It was a win-win-win situation.

While others were searching for so-called spiritual treasures and inheritances, Ji Jiuying was still hunting spirit beasts in the Purple Forest, seemingly in no hurry at all.

Bang!

Another unlucky spirit beast died under Ji Jiuying's sword, and the points on her learning card became 4,200. At this time, Ji Jiuying's spiritual energy was obviously about to overflow, and the barrier of the peak of the Nascent Soul stage was also showing signs of loosening. However, Ji Jiuying knew that this was not a good place to advance, so she forcibly suppressed that power in her dantian.

"Mother, it seems we've reached the end of the Purple Forest; there's no road ahead."

Little Phoenix observed for a while in mid-air before landing on Ji Jiuying's shoulder.

The end? No way out?

She hadn't seen the end of the secret realm yet, and curiosity drove her forward.

"Let's go take a look ahead!"

Xiao Huang'er stood there, looking at Ji Jiuying with a puzzled expression. What was so interesting about a wall?

Soon, they arrived at the end that Xiao Huang'er had mentioned. Before them was a white wall. Although it was right next to the Purple Forest, the white wall was completely free of any impurities. Ji Jiuying couldn't help but curiously step forward and touch it.
