As the sun rose, Xue Qingge, the sect leader of the Crimson Pill Sect, appeared with a group of elders.
Xue Qingge is a beautiful woman whose exact age is unknown, but judging from her appearance alone, she could easily be mistaken for being in her twenties.
"The secret realm is about to appear," Gu Junyu suddenly said.
Following the other person's gaze, Li Ze saw the glow of the sunset and a shimmering, transparent energy membrane that resembled the surface of water.
Through that membrane, he saw trees, mountains, rivers, and even monsters.
That should be the secret realm of the Crimson Pill Sect.
Xue Qingge gave a few instructions to Feng Wu and the other disciples of the Crimson Pill Sect, and then joined forces with several elders to open the gate to the secret realm.
The moment the gate opened, everyone rushed forward.
Lin Jingyuan held one of Li Ze's hands, and Liang Chen held the other. The two of them pulled Li Ze and rushed inside, while Gu Junyu led the way.
"Junyu, if you get lost, remember to look for your fellow disciples," Fengwu called out from the crowd.
"Understood, Senior Sister," Gu Junyu called out, pointing to Li Ze behind him. "Senior Sister, this younger brother named He Yu saved the lives of the three of us. If you see him, remember to bring him along."
Feng Wu glanced at Li Ze, but before she could say anything, she was pushed by the people behind her and stepped into the gate of the secret realm first.
The next moment, Li Ze was also led by Lin Jingyuan and Liang Chen into the gate of the secret realm.
hiss--
Space distorted, and Li Ze gasped. How much force had they used to grab his hand!
Li Ze felt like his hands were about to dislocate.
But he quickly forgot about the pain, because he was falling rapidly.
With the wind whistling in his ears and his eyes barely able to open, Li Ze simply released his divine sense. Just as he was about to fall to the ground, he immediately somersaulted in the air, crashing into a lush tree on the ground, then falling from the tree and onto the thick, soft lawn.
call!
A close call!
Li Ze got up from the lawn, shook his slightly dizzy head, and wondered if everyone fell from the sky, would anyone die?
The spiritual energy in the secret realm was indeed extremely dense, almost three or four times that of the outside world. Even if one didn't gather any spiritual herbs or fruits upon entering the secret realm, just cultivating here for a few months would be worthwhile.
However, this spiritual energy was of no use to Li Ze.
Li Ze had no intention of sitting down to cultivate; he cautiously released his divine sense to investigate the surrounding area.
"There's a fourth-tier demonic beast to my left," Li Ze murmured. After a moment's hesitation, he decided to avoid it.
He might be able to kill the monster with a full-force attack, but he would also be paralyzed for two days. Losing his fighting ability in such a dangerous place is tantamount to suicide.
Li Ze turned and walked to the right.
As expected of the Crimson Pill Sect's secret realm, there are far more spiritual herbs and fruits than in other places. You can find a spiritual herb almost every few steps, sometimes even a small patch!
Li Ze picked the older fruits and left the younger ones behind.
He also encountered several spiritual herbs guarded by demonic beasts, but they were all low-level demonic beasts. Li Ze collected both the spiritual herbs and the demonic beasts.
After walking for a whole day, Li Ze hadn't encountered a single cultivator. "Could it be that everyone went straight to the center of the secret realm?"
Lin Jingyuan had told him that the center of the secret realm was the place with the highest concentration of spiritual energy, and also the place with the most high-grade spiritual herbs and fruits. At the same time, the monsters there were also the strongest.
Li Ze's current cultivation level is only at the Qi Refining stage, so he has no intention of joining in the fun.
As the sky darkened, Li Ze found a cave to spend the night.
He wanted to eat again.
"I wonder if lighting a fire at night will attract something?" Li Ze muttered to himself.
He hunted several low-level demonic beasts today, and judging from their appearance, their meat should be of good quality.
I'm tired today, I'll do it tomorrow morning. I'll pick one to bake when I get up tomorrow morning.
Li Ze sat cross-legged in the cave. In the middle of the night, the roar of a monster came from afar.
Before even opening his eyes, Li Ze's consciousness had already set off, flying towards the source of the sound.
"Damn it, all we took was a single spiritual fruit, is it really necessary for them to relentlessly pursue us like this?"
"I'm exhausted from day to night. Should I return the spirit fruit to it?"
"Bullshit! Give it back the spirit fruit, and all my suffering will have been for nothing! If you don't give it back, keep running."
"There's a fire over there, go that way."
......
Nearly a quarter of an hour later, a joyful voice rang out throughout the forest, "Senior Brother Mo, it's Senior Brother Mo! Senior Brother Mo, save me!"
Mo Xingjue, standing by the fire, raised his eyes to look at the people rushing towards him. His sharp eyes narrowed slightly. When those people were less than fifty meters away from him, he leaped up, gripped his long sword, and thrust it straight at the charging fourth-tier demonic beast.
With just one move, the head of the fourth-tier demon beast fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and rolled into the grass nearby.
Mo Xingjue ignored the head and only collected the body of the fourth-tier demon beast. After putting the body into his storage bag, he frowned and suddenly looked in the direction of Li Ze.
Li Ze was startled and quickly withdrew his divine sense.
Is that perceptive?
"Senior Brother Mo, what are you looking at?" asked the cultivator who had just cried for help.
Mo Xingjue shook his head. "It's nothing."
"Senior Brother Mo, thank you so much for saving my life. I have no way to repay you, so please accept this spiritual fruit." The cultivator held up the spiritual fruit, his tone sincere.
"No need," Mo Xingjue refused, then returned to the fire, sat cross-legged by the fire, and quickly entered a meditative state.
The rescued cultivators exchanged glances, but instead of going to Mo Xingjue's side, they started another fire. After the fire was lit, they also seized the time to cultivate.
The next day, as soon as it was light, Li Ze got up and left the cave to gather firewood, start a fire, and roast meat. After eating his fill, he chose a direction and continued on his way.
He didn't have a map of the secret realm, so he didn't know that the direction he had chosen was unfortunately heading towards the center of the secret realm.
Along the way, he encountered more spiritual herbs and fruits, as well as more and more demonic beasts, and the level of the demonic beasts was also higher. After avoiding two fourth-tier demonic beasts in succession, Li Ze also sensed that something was wrong. Could it be that he had already left the outer edge of the secret realm and was approaching the central area?
With this guess in mind, Li Ze decided to change direction.
This time, however, he encountered not demonic beasts, but human cultivators.
Li Ze looked at the three people opposite him. They were not wearing sect robes or insignia, so they were rogue cultivators.
"Hey, we've run into a little white lamb," one of them said.
“He’s a fair-skinned, tender, and very beautiful little lamb,” another person chimed in, a lewd expression on their face. “You can keep his valuables, and I’ll keep him. How about it?”
"Not so great. What treasures could a Qi Refining stage cultivator possibly have? He's much more appealing as a person."
"Then let's all attack together?"
That's exactly what I was thinking.
"Be gentle. It's boring in the secret realm. I plan to keep him around for a few more days. Don't kill him."
