Chapter 5: From now on, it all depends on the two brothers and sisters. We can put our hopes on...
While thinking about how to get back at Luo Qingyao, Nan Si Ning fell asleep unknowingly.
When she was awakened by Zhou Lixing, she was still a little dazed: "Third... Third Brother?"
Zhou Lixing said, "Junior Sister, you've finally woken up. Senior Sister is already well, but her cultivation can no longer be suppressed. She's on the verge of breaking through to another realm. However, if she does, the secret realm will send her out."
Nan Sining didn't expect that there would be such a surprise later!
She quickly got up and came to Qin Sangyue. Qin Sangyue was still sitting cross-legged and floating in the air. Her body was still glowing with a faint fluorescence, and she was still so holy and beautiful.
Zhou Lixing lowered his voice and said, "Big Sister, Little Sister is awake."
Qin Sangyue's eyes were closed, but her eyeballs were obviously moving, and she looked like she was about to wake up.
Before she could open her mouth, a gentle voice spread throughout the cave: "Third Junior Brother, from now on, you must protect Xiaojiu and try your best to find the Dragon Head Blood Ginseng..."
The lingering sound of her words still echoed in the cave, but her body had already turned into a stream of light and quickly disappeared into the sky.
Nan Sining looked up for a while, then turned around and found a bag lying on the ground.
"This is?"
"The eldest sister was afraid that we wouldn't have enough elixirs and magic weapons, so she left her own mustard seed bag behind." Zhou Lixing said with a hint of bitterness.
The mustard bag has recognized its master, and if Qin Sangyue hadn't had any special thoughts, it would usually follow her out of the secret realm.
Nan Si Ning praised sincerely: "Big Sister is so kind!"
So we went to such great lengths to save the eldest senior sister's life, and it was a huge profit.
Seeing Zhou Lixing's embarrassed look, Nan Si Ning asked curiously, "Big Sister is not only completely recovered now, but has also advanced to a higher level. Why aren't you happy, Third Brother?"
Zhou Lixing held the mustard seed bag and said, "Of course I'm happy that Senior Sister is better, but the secret realm is so dangerous. I'm worried that I can't protect you, and I'm also worried that I won't be able to find the Dragon Head Blood Ginseng."
Originally, he followed the senior sister into the secret realm to help her and just follow her instructions. Now that he was suddenly asked to take charge, he felt a lot of pressure.
"If I had known it would be like this, I would have asked Fourth Junior Brother to come."
Mentioning this, Nan Si Ning felt a bit of a headache: "If it really was Fourth Senior Brother who came, he would probably just leave me behind and go hang out with that Luo Qingyao. Third Senior Brother, you're a better fighter than Fourth Senior Brother, and you care about me more than Fourth Senior Brother, so I'd rather have you here."
Zhou Lixing was caught off guard by the compliment and couldn't help but feel shy: "Junior sister, are you telling the truth?"
Nan Sining nodded vigorously.
In the novel, the fourth senior brother's ending was not very good, but the way he licked Luo Qingyao before his death made Nan Sining's hair stand on end when he thought about it.
"Since Junior Sister trusts me so much, I will protect you even if it means sacrificing my life!" Zhou Lixing promised solemnly.
Nan Si Ning stood on tiptoe, patted his shoulder and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother, with me here, we will not only be able to leave this secret realm safely, but also return with a full load!"
Zhou Lixing chuckled and said, "Of course I believe you, Junior Sister. By the way, Junior Sister, are you hungry? I've killed quite a few demon beasts and spirit beasts these past few days, so I can cook them for you."
After being reminded of this, Nan Si Ning realized that his stomach was already empty.
"I am indeed hungry, but Third Brother, don't we take the fasting pills?" The book says that people who practice Taoism usually take fasting pills.
"But Junior Sister, don't you dislike fasting pills? I'll make whatever you want!"
"Sure! I want braised spare ribs, braised pork elbow, jujube wood roast duck...fry, stir-fry, steam, stew, roast, braise, bake, deep-fry, and simmer. Give me everything!"
Here, Nan Si Ning discovered that although his third senior brother entered the culinary world, he could not cook many dishes. So he took out the knowledge he had accumulated over twenty years to open up a "track" for his third senior brother to practice.
On the other side, Qin Sangyue just appeared outside the secret realm and quickly found a place to meditate. Soon his aura surged and he easily broke through another small realm, from the second level of Jindan to the third level of Jindan.
After regulating her breathing, Qin Sangyue let her spiritual power circulate in her body for several cycles. She found that not only her Dantian was perfectly repaired, but even her originally broken tendons and veins were intact, and even wider and tougher than before. This made Qin Sangyue overjoyed and extremely grateful to Nan Sining.
I thought that after such a serious injury, I had no choice but to die, but I didn't expect there would be such a turn of events. Qin Sangyue's gratitude to Nan Sining was beyond words. Master was right, the junior sister was the most unique existence.
Just as Qin Sangyue was still immersed in her own thoughts, someone came running over, shouting, "Senior Sister! Senior Sister! It's really you! How did you come out so soon?!"
Qin Sangyue opened her eyes and saw that it was her seventh junior sister Hua Shengqing in pink clothes.
Qin Sangyue stood up and used a cleansing spell on herself while responding, "Seventh Junior Sister, you're here."
Hua Shengqing looked her up and down and said in surprise, "Big Sister, have you made some progress again?"
Qin Sangyue nodded and said, "I encountered a good opportunity and broke through a small realm."
Hua Shengqing burst into laughter, jumping up and down like a monkey: "That's great! Big Sister, you're amazing!"
As for why Qin Sangyue didn't explain what the opportunity was, Hua Shengqing didn't ask much. For cultivators, if they don't want to share the opportunity, they don't have to say it.
When they returned to the rented small courtyard, their second junior brother Yuan Qing'an and fourth junior brother Liang Xiao were both there. Needless to say, the four of them met again and it was lively again.
After Hua Shengqing and Liang Xiao left, Qin Sangyue said to his second junior brother Yuan Qingan with a rather apologetic look, "My luck wasn't very good on this trip to the secret realm, so I didn't get any blood ginseng. But I've already asked my third junior brother and little sister to do their best to find it."
Yuan Qing'an curled his lips and said weakly, "It's okay. I'm already very grateful to Senior Sister for running so hard for me. If I didn't find it, it was my fate."
As he spoke, he started coughing again.
Qin Sangyue hurriedly pulled his hand and began to sort out the violent spiritual power for him.
After a while, Yuan Qing'an's complexion gradually recovered and his breathing was not as heavy.
After Yuan Qing'an felt a little better, Qin Sangyue sent him a voice message, "Don't worry, Fourth Junior Brother. Junior Sister has regained her consciousness and is quite clever. I was able to step into the gates of hell this time, but I was able to come out intact and break through a realm, all thanks to Junior Sister. I think Junior Sister is a person with good fortune. Maybe Junior Sister can handle your problem."
Yuan Qingan was extremely surprised: "Junior Sister?!"
Seeing Qin Sangyue nod solemnly, Yuan Qing'an didn't feel much of a ripple in his heart. He knew that the senior sister was steady and wouldn't just talk nonsense, but he still didn't dare to hold out too much hope.

In the secret realm, Nan Si Ning ate the beast meat prepared by Zhou Lixing while curiously asking, "Third Brother, since you entered the Dao through cooking, why do you only know so few dishes?"
Zhou Lixing smiled innocently, not shying away from the past: "I was born in poverty. Being able to work as a cook in town was a huge investment by my family. You can't just learn to cook if you want to. It's a skill that you need to make a living. How could anyone teach you so easily? If you teach your apprentice, you'll starve yourself to death."
Nan Si Ning understood and said, "Don't worry, Third Brother, I will teach you how to cook more dishes in the future!"
"Yeah! Okay!" Zhou Lixing said happily.
He entered the Tao through cooking. The more dishes and foods he could cook, the more helpful it would be for his practice. Naturally, he was very happy about it.
It was at this time that Nan Si Ning realized that Zhou Lixing's most common magical instrument was a large soup ladle. Nan Si Ning felt that he should at least have a large iron pot, and also some tools for cutting vegetables.
But there's no need to rush now, take it slow.
After eating, Zhou Lixing packed up everything quickly without Nan Sining having to do anything.
"Junior Sister, there are still more than ten days left. How about we stay here and pick some spiritual plants nearby? Then we can go out when the time is up?"
Zhou Lixing still wanted to play it safe. The hope of finding the Dragon Head Blood Ginseng was too slim, so it would be better to protect his junior sister first.
Nan Si Ning didn't answer him directly, but instead asked, "Third Senior Brother, you haven't encountered the Dragon Head Blood Ginseng either?"
With the spiritual plant information given by the system in his mind, Nan Sining felt that there should be more than one or two blood ginsengs in this secret realm. Could it be that the three of them in his sect were so unlucky that they had never encountered one?
Speaking of this, Zhou Lixing looked unhappy: "I have encountered it, but I have never robbed others."
Zhou Lixing briefly recounted his experiences. Although only those in the Foundation Establishment or Qi Refining stages could enter this secret realm, Qin Sangyue had deliberately lowered her cultivation level to gain entry. However, two fists were no match for four hands. Zhou Lixing encountered the Dragon Head Blood Ginseng twice and the Dragon Spine Blood Ginseng three times, but each time was snatched away.
Hearing Zhou Lixing mention those people's names, Nan Si Ning couldn't help but interrupt, "Isn't this too coincidental? How come all the people surrounding Luo Qingyao snatched it from you?"
Zhou Lixing himself hadn't noticed it, but when he heard Nan Sining say this, he realized, "It seems to be true?"
Nan Si Ning snorted and said, "It's not that you can't beat them, it's that they are targeting you to snatch the things. Of course you can't snatch them away because of their deliberate actions."
Zhou Lixing couldn't understand: "They don't need the blood ginseng like Second Brother does, so why do they have to take mine?"
Nan Si Ning thought for a moment and asked, "Third Senior Brother, what do you think of Luo Qingyao?"
