"I was careless." Gu Cheng thought to himself, "Catch the thief and seize the stolen goods. I will keep an eye on you. I don't believe that you stole a small ginseng fruit tree just to cause damage to Zixiao Sect. This kind of behavior that harms others and does not benefit yourself is definitely not something a cultivator can do!"

Gu Cheng believed that the small ginseng fruit tree that Xu Feng had stolen must have been planted somewhere in this secret realm, waiting to be used to obtain the small ginseng fruit next time he entered the secret realm. Therefore, he was certain that Xu Feng would go to the place where the small ginseng fruit tree was planted to check it out before leaving the secret realm, otherwise, he would never feel at ease to leave the secret realm like this.

At this moment, although Xu Feng didn't know where Gu Cheng had gone, he also understood that he would definitely not go far. This was a small ginseng fruit tree, which was a very important resource for any cultivator, no, for any sect.

"Haha, he probably could never have imagined that I planted it in the secret realm and could provide enough chaotic aura to allow the small ginseng fruit tree to survive the transplant period, when its roots were unable to penetrate the void and absorb the chaotic aura during its weak time!" Xu Feng said in his heart as he looked at the bonfire in front of him.

This is something that no sect in the entire upper realm can resolve. Therefore, even if someone, like Xu Feng, can obtain the small ginseng fruit tree, they can only plant it in this semi-open secret realm. They even divide the sphere of influence of each other's sects for this purpose, just to ensure the safety of their own sect's planting of the small ginseng fruit tree.

Xu Feng waited until the late night before he finally saw Senior Brother Bian Ye and the other three. However, they looked a little disheveled at this time, as if they had just experienced a battle and had not yet cleaned up the blood on their bodies. Even Long Xuejun was injured and looked ugly, with some blood at the corners of his mouth that had not been cleaned up.

"Greetings, three senior brothers and sisters!" Xu Feng quickly stood up and greeted them. He did not mention the fact that they did not keep their appointment and were late for most of the day.

“Junior brother!” Bian Ye showed a trace of shame on his face when he saw Xu Feng, but he quickly concealed it and explained: “I was careless this time. I didn’t expect to meet disciples from the Netherworld Pavilion. They…”

Having said this, Bian Ye paused, shook his head and did not continue.

"What's there to hide?" Cheng Jun's face turned pale. He snorted coldly, and bowed to Xu Feng and said, "Junior Brother Xu, we, the senior brothers and sisters, were not kind this time..."

"Senior Brother Cheng, this matter has nothing to do with Junior Brother Xu!" Bian Ye's face was gloomy and he spoke out to stop Cheng Jun.

"So let's just let it go?" Cheng Jun glanced at Bian Ye, then turned his head to look at Long Xueyi and Long Xuejun, and continued, "Those are eighteen small ginseng fruits, which can be used to refine at least ten Qinglian Pills. Are you willing to let those people from the Netherworld Pavilion take them away like this?"

"It's not just as simple as eighteen small ginseng fruits!" Long Xueyi suddenly said, "Those people in the Netherworld Pavilion already know the approximate area where we harvested the small ginseng fruits. If they have time, they will definitely send disciples to search the entire area. The place where we planted the small ginseng fruit trees will not be hidden for long!"

Hearing what Long Xueyi said, the faces of the other people changed drastically. They all looked at Xu Feng, and then their eyes all focused on Bian Ye.

"Junior Brother Xu..." Bian Ye hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Junior Brother Xu, we actually entered this secret realm more than ten years ago, and since then, we have entered it again almost every year when the secret realm opens..."

"In fact, we have obtained three small ginseng fruit trees in this secret place. Over the years, we have transplanted them in a secret place and cultivated them secretly!" Bian Ye explained: "Although we have to hand over a portion of the small ginseng fruit to the local land god every time we harvest it, the remaining ones are enough for us to use!"

"The reason why we separated to enter the secret realm this time is for one of the small ginseng fruit trees. The fruit will be ripe this year..." Bian Ye sighed and said, "The four of us have already reached the peak of the fifth level of the Green Lotus Heart Sutra. If we have these small ginseng fruits, we can prepare to break through to the sixth level of the Heart Sutra this year. There is a great chance that we can break through and become a king-level powerhouse! That's why..."

Xu Feng finally understood why they needed a few days of private time after entering the secret realm. It turned out to be for the small ginseng fruit trees they had planted privately before. "Haha, Senior Brother, no need to say more, I understand!" Xu Feng immediately laughed and waved his hand, saying, "Senior Brother, the three small ginseng fruit trees you planted were obtained by all the senior brothers and sisters with great efforts. I didn't contribute even a little bit, so naturally I shouldn't expect to get a share of it."

Hearing that Xu Feng didn't mind, Bian Ye and the others finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiles reappeared on their faces.

“Junior brother, this time we collected the small ginseng fruits, and after offering twelve to the local land, the four of us got the remaining eighteen small ginseng fruits. Unexpectedly, as soon as we entered the secret realm, we were targeted by several people from the Netherworld Pavilion. After we finished offering, they suddenly made a move and snatched all our eighteen small ginseng fruits away…” Bian Ye explained: “Those are eighteen small ginseng fruits, and the most important thing is that the three fruit trees we planted may also be targeted by them. If they find them, then all our hard work over the past ten years will be wasted on the Netherworld Pavilion…”

"Brother, after I entered the secret realm, the first place I saw was a Taoist temple called Sanqing Temple. That is the sphere of influence of Zixiao Sect..." Xu Feng couldn't help but ask the question in his mind, and continued: "Since Zixiao Sect has its own sphere of influence in this secret realm, then Qinglian Sect, which is also a Hundred Veins Immortal Sect, doesn't it have its own sphere of influence?"

"Brother, now that we are being bullied by the Netherworld Pavilion, why don't we ask for support from the sect? Does that mean that we in the Qinglian Sect are afraid of the Netherworld Pavilion?" Xu Feng asked.

"It's not that the Qinglian Sect is afraid of the Netherworld Pavilion, but..." Bian Ye was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "These three small ginseng fruit trees are not owned by the sect, but, they are the private property of a few of us..."

"Private property?" Xu Feng showed a look of realization on his face. Isn't this the same as what he did before? If there was no secret realm, Xu Feng's approach would probably be no different from that of Bian Ye and the others. He would just find a secret place and plant the small ginseng fruit tree. Anyway, there is no lack of chaotic aura in this secret realm, so it would be very convenient to transplant or plant the small ginseng fruit tree.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

"Haha, senior brother, so what do you want to do now?" Xu Feng asked with a half-smile on his face.
