Chapter 115 Treasure Hunt in the Secret Realm 4
As Qin Shang spoke, he took out a lot of Star Attribute resources, saying that he had just happened to come across them and was offering up all the commissions he was owed so far, asking the two young masters to accept them with a smile.
He explained in great detail, but he didn't list all the types of resources he acquired. However, he couldn't deceive the owner of the ancient city, so the total value of the resources was certain. The 30% of resources he provided were all estimated based on price.
Zhong Cai accepted them without hesitation.
·
Seventy percent of the materials Qin Shang provided were refining materials with Yin-Yang and Five Elements attributes, while the other thirty percent were obtained in this Meteorite Secret Realm.
There are many kinds of resources, but probably because Zhong Cai is an alchemist, most of the ones prepared are rare herbs with various attributes. However, most of them are actually of the Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin attributes. Stars may also carry the power of the sun and moon, and the Heavenly Yang and Earthly Yin energies come from the sun and moon. So it is not surprising that such rare herbs can grow in the Meteorite Secret Realm.
The number of plants Qin Shang could produce reached several hundred, indicating that they had been carefully searched and collected.
The purpose is self-evident; it's none other than to facilitate Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's cultivation.
For Zhong Cai's current alchemy cultivation, and for Wu Shaogan's current and Zhong Cai's future cultivation from the fourth level of enlightenment.
The rare herbs containing the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth are available at various levels, but Qin Shang only brought out level three rare herbs, which are perfect for refining level three pills.
However, it's not just rare herbs that can replenish the yin and yang energies of heaven and earth. The medicinal materials needed to refine these kinds of pills can also be these kinds of rare and precious herbs—Qin Shang certainly wouldn't miss out on that, and gave out the few he found.
When cultivators perform a ritual for consecration, if they can't find elixirs, they have to use rare medicines or rare materials directly... which is very inefficient.
·
Zhong Cai has already reached the ninth level of the Palace Opening Realm. After returning, he can try to refine a level three elixir. Once he succeeds, he can finally give it to his old man, Wu.
It's been so long, and if he can't personally feed Old Wu the pills soon, he'll be itching to do it and won't be able to hold back any longer!
·
Both sides were given the prize money, and they weren't actually very familiar with each other, having spent little time together.
For a moment, they seemed to run out of things to say.
Zhong Cai thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered Qin Shang's information and asked, "Senior Qin, it seems you were once a weapon maker?"
Qin Shang smiled gently and said, "In my lifetime, I was indeed a weapon master." He didn't wait for Zhong Cai to ask further and continued, "By the time of my death, I had barely reached the fifth level."
Zhong Cai nodded and then asked, "So, senior, have you adapted to the weapon-refining techniques here?"
Seeing that he had asked the right question, Qin Shang smiled and replied, "I have been studying it diligently lately and have a general idea of what it is, but I have not yet been able to restore my abilities from when I was alive. I am afraid it will take some time to get used to it."
Zhong Cai understood; this was all normal.
The skills in various fields of study are all very refined, and it is impossible to acquire high levels of ability casually.
Qin Shang now has a general impression that he is already very diligent.
Zhong Cai smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Senior Qin."
Qin Shang smiled and asked, "Master Zhong, is there anything you wish to instruct me?"
Zhong Cai shook her head and said, "It's not really about giving orders, it's just about knowing your current capabilities so you have a clear understanding."
Qin Shang replied sincerely, "If you two gentlemen have any orders, I will go through fire and water for you."
Zhong Cai: "..."
That's not necessarily true.
Wu Shaogan then changed the subject: "Have you seen the others?"
Qin Shang was quite frank: "I have never met them. When we parted ways, we went in different directions. To this day, I have not met any of my colleagues."
Wu Shaogan nodded slightly.
Zhong Cai didn't pay any attention to this.
Qin Shang said, "We should all be aware of the fact that the two young masters have entered the Azure Dragon Academy. The stone tablets in each city are very conspicuous, and we will see them whenever we pass through any city. I know from this that our other colleagues must be as well."
Zhong Cai thought it made sense, but still said, "If Senior Qin sees the others in the future, please tell them that Lao Wu and I have a small shop in the city, which is looked after by Xiang Lin. If they want to return the commission in the future, they can leave it with Xiang Lin and wait for him to hand it over."
As he spoke, he patted Wu Shaogan on the shoulder.
"Old Wu, shall I give them a few of the tokens?"
Wu Shaogan said, "A-Cai can make the decision."
Zhong Cai then took out several pre-made tokens and handed them to Qin Shang, saying, "Give one to each of them when you meet them."
Qin Shang readily accepted, feeling even more pleased.
After this incident, he became even more useful to the two city lords, who were willing to entrust him with tasks.
I will no longer dwell on his life... This is good.
Thus, the explanation was completed.
Wu Shaogan said, "There are still outsiders waiting, so A Cai and I will take our leave first. Senior Qin, please make yourself at home."
Qin Shang then cupped his hands and said, "Please, gentlemen."
Zhong Cai waved to Qin Shang, and was then led away by Wu Shaogan.
Qin Shang watched them go with a smile in his eyes.
·
After Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan left the island, they saw the poisonous lizard again.
The Heavenly Poison Lizard perked up and looked over with great sincerity.
Zhong Cai used to think its appearance was somewhat ferocious, but now she feels it's kind of funny.
So he waved to the lizard in the sky.
The venomous lizard's tail swept slightly, the swaying motion gentle yet revealing a hint of joy.
Zhong Cai chuckled and waved again, saying, "See you another time!"
The Heavenly Poison Lizard watched the two leave.
·
Fan Jiming gathered resources near the island, and everything went smoothly, yielding a considerable harvest.
Besides a large amount of level 2 and 3 resources, he also surprisingly found some level 4 resources that suited him, which can be considered as making a small fortune.
At that moment, Fan Jiming heard a greeting.
"Brother Fan?"
Fan Jiming naturally recognized Zhong Cai's voice, immediately stood up, turned around and said, "Brother Zhong, Brother Wu."
Zhong Cai greeted him and joked, "Brother Fan, you've had a good haul!"
Fan Jiming knew a little about the two men's personalities, so he said, "Thanks to the two of you."
The reason things went so smoothly was mainly because of the poisonous lizard in the sky, and the reason the lizard didn't drive him away or attack him was, of course, because of Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan.
Zhong Cai casually said, "Brother Fan, you're too kind." Then he got down to business, "Senior Qin is very wealthy. We just asked him, and we've obtained the resources I need, so there's no need to try our luck in other places."
Fan Jiming quickly said, "That would be even better. Good luck to you both."
Zhong Cai, however, was not modest: "I also think we were lucky."
Fan Jiming opened his mouth, but for a moment he was at a loss for words, unsure how to respond.
Wu Shaogan then said, "In that case, we won't trouble Brother Fan any further."
Fan Jiming was a little disappointed, but since they weren't very familiar with each other, they naturally didn't want to act together unless absolutely necessary.
So he said goodbye to the two of them.
"I am deeply grateful to have met you two today and to have been saved by you. If you ever have the opportunity to come to E'shang City in the future, you must visit the Fan family. I will certainly welcome you with open arms."
Zhong Cai also had a good impression of this person, and followed Wu Shaogan to press his ear against hers, and Wu Shaogan rubbed against her slightly.
The two had exchanged their opinions.
So Zhong Cai said, "If Brother Fan comes to Canglong City in the future, just write to us and we can all get together."
Fan Jiming was waiting for these words, which meant that the two of them were willing to acknowledge him as a friend, and he was in a great mood.
Naturally, his smile became even more genuine: "Then we'll meet again another time. I'll treat you both to drinks then."
Zhong Cai laughed: "Then it must be the best wine."
Fan Jiming laughed heartily: "Don't worry, you two!"
Zhong Cai smiled and then bid farewell to Fan Jiming.
Fan Jiming also headed in another direction.
·
Fan Jiming was still somewhat curious about the Heavenly Poison Lizard and its master, but given Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan's status and abilities, it wasn't surprising that a powerful fusion expert would defect to them early.
After all, some resources that cannot be found elsewhere may be available at the Azure Dragon Academy.
These privileged individuals, backed by powerful forces, possess countless channels and resources, making them extremely attractive.
Although Fan Jiming is currently a member of a level-six family, he would not hesitate to follow Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan if given the opportunity.
Although friendships are based on equality, in reality, if you haven't shared life and death together, the relationship is uncertain and can break down at any time.
If they acquire high-quality resources that they don't need, would they give them to ordinary friends? No, they would most likely choose to cultivate trusted subordinates.
Moreover, once you follow them, you will not only receive good treatment, but you will also have the opportunity to improve your strength through their channels. When the Azure Dragon Academy recruits disciples again, you can try to take the exam.
Fan Jiming is very self-aware.
Admittedly, he didn't know about the recruitment beforehand, which is why he didn't participate in the Azure Dragon assessment. But even if he had known and rushed there, with his current abilities, he still wouldn't have been able to pass the exam.
Fan Jiming, also aware of his own limitations, did not volunteer himself.
He's just a nobody, and he'll be surpassed by Wu Shaogan in a few years. He has no reason to follow him.
If he could inspire the entire Fan family to follow Wu Shaogan, that would be fine, but unfortunately he couldn't even influence the wishes of his own branch, the seventh branch.
Therefore, Fan Jiming was already quite satisfied with having achieved his goal of making friends.
·
On the other side.
Wu Shaogan smiled slightly and said confidently, "A-Cai, you have a good impression of Fan Jiming."
Zhong Cai honestly replied, "I do have a good impression."
Wu Shaogan smiled again.
Zhong Cai continued, "He has such a pleasant voice."
Wu Shaogan was taken aback by this reason.
He thought about it for a moment, then pondered it, and nodded knowingly.
Whenever Fan Jiming took the initiative to speak, he would try to include the two of them in the conversation. And even if A Cai asked a question, Fan Jiming would include him whenever he could.
Fan Jiming's every word implied that he considered the two of them as one.
No wonder A-Cai thought it sounded good.
It really sounds good.
Originally, Wu Shaogan didn't have any particular opinion of Fan Jiming; he just chatted with him and made contact with him whenever he wanted.
But now, Wu Shaogan's impression of Fan Jiming is still acceptable.
·
Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan traveled together again.
Along the way, the two successfully collected a lot of star resources, especially on a broken meteorite that was only half left, where they saw dense clusters of Starlight Grass!
Zhong Cai naturally accepted them all, instantly adding seven hundred plants to her collection.
...He even felt that when he came back to refine the Meteorite Pill, he wouldn't need to go to the academy to buy medicinal herbs anymore.
But this is not their largest source of income.
The two actually found a small vein of pyroxene.
This seems a bit outrageous, but upon closer inspection, it's not really that outrageous.
It makes perfect sense that meteorites have veins of pyrite.
When a meteorite falls and breaks into many pieces, some mineral veins are always hidden deep inside. As the meteorite's outer shell peels away, the mineral veins themselves can still remain.
Of course, neither of them were mining themselves.
Wu Shaogan simply carried Zhong Cai on his back and stood guard to the side, while the two puppets swiftly swept away the remaining meteorite fragments, ultimately leaving behind a large amount of Xuan Stone.
Zhong Cai's eyes gleamed as she quickly cleaned and counted.
Finally, he said with great delight, "Eighty thousand low-grade mystic stones!"
Wu Shaogan's eyes softened: "Congratulations, A-Cai."
Zhong Cai corrected him: "Congratulations to us both."
Wu Shao chuckled dryly, "Yes, congratulations to both of us."
Zhong Cai then said with satisfaction, "Our savings are even greater now." He exclaimed excitedly, "Let's look again! Let's look even more!"
Wu Shaogan had no objection; since A Cai said she wanted to go find her, then she would go find her.
However, although the two said they were going to search, they didn't frantically search; in fact, they continued at the same pace as before.
If you encounter any resources along the way, scavenge them first.
It's just a matter of observing whether there are any signs or traces of black stone veins during the search.
·
During their resource gathering, the two also encountered some familiar faces.
With their excellent memory, they quickly recalled that they had met before at the Azure Dragon Academy.
Some inner court disciples of Azure Dragon Academy.
This is not surprising. If Master Sang could get this information, others in the academy might as well.
Moreover, these people are very cautious. The vast majority are at the Suspended Illumination Realm, with only a small number at the Enlightenment Realm. They should all be carrying defensive items.
However, Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan did not go over to say hello.
We weren't familiar with each other to begin with.
And then...
The two then encountered a young man who looked somewhat familiar, dressed in flowing white robes.
Xuan Bing?
Zhong Cai patted Wu Shaogan's shoulder.
Wu Shaogan understood and did not approach.
At this moment, Xuan Bing is in a standoff with someone.
The opponent was also a young man, wearing a yellow shirt, with a rather malicious look on his face.
To the right of the two, there was a tube of smooth, snow-white bamboo milk that shimmered with starlight.
Yes, bamboo milk.
It looks like a bamboo carved from jade, but it is actually a special natural treasure called Starlight Fire Bamboo.
The top section was cut off, revealing its bamboo shoots.
Judging from its condition, it's at level three.
Neither Xuan Bing nor the young man in yellow robes were cultivators of the Suspended Illumination Realm, so neither of them needed this kind of bamboo milk.
Xuan Bing was determined to win, while the young man in yellow robes had a rather frivolous demeanor, clearly not genuinely wanting it, but rather only targeting Xuan Bing.
·
Wu Shaogan set up a soundproof array.
Zhong Caicai frowned and said, "Senior Brother Xuan is planning to get this for the kid, isn't he?"
Wu Shaogan nodded and said, "Most likely."
When Starshine Bamboo Milk is soaked in water, it becomes a treasure that can nourish the body. It can be used for both consecration and spiritual enlightenment. Simply dilute it with water according to the appropriate ratio.
However, if taken directly, it can reduce the pain experienced by cultivators when condensing their primordial spirit.
This bamboo milk is also the main ingredient in some soul-soul elixirs.
Currently, the only people Xuan Bing can rely on or are close to are Wu Dongxiao.
·
Zhong Cai glanced at the young man in yellow again, finding him unfamiliar, and asked, "Old Wu, do you recognize that person? Is he from our Azure Dragon Academy?"
Wu Shaogan examined him carefully and shook his head, saying, "I don't recognize him." After a moment's thought, he added, "He's probably not a disciple of the Azure Dragon Sect. Those who participate in the Azure Dragon Sect's assessment must comprehend that kind of combat technique and will carry a special aura. I didn't sense any of that aura, so he's most likely from another faction."
Zhong Cai pouted: "Then I have no idea which godforsaken place they came from."
Upon hearing this, Wu Shaogan almost burst out laughing.
His Ah Cai is just that clear about right and wrong; the faction that opposes the Canglong disciples is a hellish place.
Zhong Cai added, "I wonder who is more powerful, Senior Brother Xuan or that person."
Wu Shaogan pondered for a moment and said, "They should be evenly matched, or perhaps Senior Brother Xuan has a slight edge."
Zhong Cai pondered for a moment: "The reason why Senior Brother Xuan didn't make a move is because he was afraid of accidentally destroying the Starshine Fire Bamboo Milk, right? And if the opponent is stronger than Senior Brother Xuan, he can just make a move directly. There's no need to go through all this trouble to mess with Senior Brother Xuan's mindset."
Wu Shaogan smiled and said, "A-Cai is right."
Zhong Cai said with a grin, "Since it's such a kind gesture from Senior Brother Zaizi, we can't let it go to waste. How about this, we take out an array plate and have the puppet throw it over to protect the resources first."
Wu Shaogan naturally agreed.
Then, a level six puppet appeared silently, enveloping the starlight fire bamboo without a sound, before flashing away.
At that moment, both Xuan Bing and the young man in yellow noticed the power of the formation and immediately looked over.
Just then, a glimmer of light from the array disappeared, a sign that it had been successfully activated and was taking effect.
Xuan Bing's expression changed slightly.
The young man in the yellow shirt was about to make a sarcastic remark when he was interrupted by a voice.
A clear, youthful voice rang out: "Hey!"
Both of them looked in that direction.
Two people suddenly appeared from a bend in the rocks on the side.
The handsome, tall young man stood quietly, while a dashing young cultivator with a youthful face peeked out from behind him, waving.
Xuan Bing was taken aback when he saw this, and then a smile appeared on his face.
The young man in the yellow shirt sensed something was wrong and immediately felt a sense of unease.
Xuan Bing sneered, stretched out his long arm, and attacked the young man in yellow!
The young man in the yellow shirt seemed to have anticipated this, and reacted almost immediately.
The two engaged in combat swiftly, their weapons clashing fiercely.
As expected, Xuan Bing had the upper hand.
Without needing to deliberately protect resources, the young man in yellow was no match for Xuan Bing. After only a few rounds, Xuan Bing was already on the offensive.
Moreover, Xuan Bing committed murder.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the young man in yellow quickly threw out his magical weapon to defend himself, and took the opportunity to escape at high speed.
Xuan Bing wanted to give chase, but after glancing at the bamboo stump, he gave up.
Then he walked toward where the bamboo milk was.
At that moment, Wu Shaogan was standing in front of the Starshine Fire Bamboo and reached out to remove the array plate.
Xuan Bing was about to exchange a few more pleasantries with them when he saw Zhong Cai wave at him again.
Wu Shaogan nodded slightly to him and then walked away without touching the ground.
Xuan Bing couldn't help but laugh.
These two junior brothers are truly as swift as the wind.
Xuanbing was, after all, a Xuanzhao. Even if he really wanted to catch up with them, he still couldn't.
Since we're not going to travel together anyway, there's no need to exchange a few words.
They were both very clear about each other's intentions.
Xuan Bing thought that his two junior brothers must have figured out who the bamboo milk was going to be given to, which was why they stepped in to help...
As he thought about it, he half-squatted down and collected all the bamboo milk.
As for the young man in yellow, Xuan Bing made a note of it.
That old hag from Fengwu Academy is always targeting Master. Sooner or later, he'll take her head off and present it to Master as a gift!
·
Wu Shaogan carried Zhong Cai away and fled.
They genuinely felt there was no need to get together and say a few pointless words; they figured it out as long as everyone understood.
Another reason is to wait for the results.
The two arrived at a place with many meteorites, which was relatively secluded but also safe.
They had just released a puppet, which quietly blocked the path of the young man in yellow.
At this moment, the two are waiting for the puppet to return.
·
The young man in the yellow shirt fled quickly with a gloomy expression, feeling very unhappy.
He was clearly humiliating Xuan Bing just now, but the other party was so lucky to have an acquaintance helping him!
At the same time, the young man in the yellow shirt felt even more resentful.
He has always understood his master, because that's how he felt about Xuanbing.
·
Back then, his master met Wan Tianfeng in a secret realm and also met a powerful figure. However, that powerful figure disregarded his master and instead treated Wan Tianfeng differently.
Even though his master set aside his pride to please the other party, and was even willing to offer himself as a concubine, the other party only responded coldly to him and continued to praise Wan Tianfeng.
After the three of them traveled together for a while, the powerful man only gave Wan Tianfeng a way to contact him, but treated her indifferently.
Even after that powerful figure died unexpectedly, Wan Tianfeng actually inherited a portion of his estate!
Her master would naturally be jealous.
If it were him, he would definitely be jealous too!
Later, Wan Tianfeng accepted Xuan Bing as his disciple, and his master accepted him as his disciple.
He knew from a young age that his master had a mortal enemy he hated. When he grew up and learned about Xuan Bing, he also hated Xuan Bing very much.
If his initial trouble with Xuan Bing was merely due to obeying his master's orders, then his subsequent actions against Xuan Bing stemmed from his own actions.
His master understood him and from then on treated him as his own son.
Even after his master had his own child, whom he doted on, he was still very good to him.
He even knew that his master intended for his junior sister to get engaged to him.
From then on, they were even more of a family.
·
Neither the young man in yellow nor his master, Li Diancui, had ever considered why that powerful figure had admired Wan Tianfeng back then.
Although that expert was considered powerful by the two of them back then, in reality, Li Diancui and Wan Tianfeng were only at the Suspended Illumination Realm at that time, while the expert was only at the initial stage of the Palace Building Realm.
The strong one was an extremely hardworking ascetic who had experienced great suffering. His potential had long been exhausted, and his lifespan was about to end.
He was much older than both women, and although he still looked like he was in his middle age, he regarded them as his juniors.
As for Li Diancui's delicate beauty and Wan Tianfeng's ordinary appearance... in his eyes, they were no different.
At first, this powerful figure protected the two of them and treated them in a similar manner.
But after traveling together for a while, the strongman discovered that Wan Tianfeng's personality was very similar to his when he was young, while Li Diancui was a bit too scheming.
Naturally, the stronger person would prefer Wan Tianfeng, but he still did his best to protect Li Diancui and did not treat her coldly.
As a result, Li Diancui actually seduced him.
The strong man was almost furious—it turned out that his advice to the two of them, which was like that of an elder, was actually seen by Li Diancui as a lecherous man.
Yes, Li Diancui's behavior wasn't very obvious, but this powerful person had lived for so many years and was not a fool. Couldn't the powerful person see through Li Diancui's affected manner and her subtle provocations of Wan Tianfeng?
On the contrary, Wan Tianfeng had no ulterior motives towards the strongman. He only wanted to learn more from him and respected him greatly. When it was time to lend a hand, he would not hesitate to help, no matter how troublesome it was.
Given this stark contrast, even though the powerful figure had only held Wan Tianfeng in high regard before, he began to treat her as half a daughter after being spurred on by Li Diancui.
That's why, after leaving the secret realm for a period of time, the powerful figure died and entrusted his confidant to give Wan Tianfeng a portion of his inheritance.
Later, out of gratitude, Wan Tianfeng personally went to the city where the powerful figure was located to pay his respects, and invited the powerful figure's memorial tablet back to be worshipped as a true elder. He even maintained contact with the powerful figure's descendants.
As Wan Tianfeng's strength continued to improve, she now far surpassed the strength of the powerful figure in his prime, while none of the powerful figure's descendants produced any outstanding talents... Wan Tianfeng still protected them, and although their relationship was not very close, no one dared to bully the powerful figure's descendants.
All of this proves that the strong never misjudge people.
The strong one simply admired Wan Tianfeng and encouraged and guided her, never expecting anything in return from Wan Tianfeng, nor entrusting his descendants to Wan Tianfeng. Wan Tianfeng, however, truly appreciated this friendship and did what she wanted to do.
Even if the powerful figure didn't give Wan Tianfeng any inheritance, given Wan Tianfeng's personality, she would still worship and protect him.
After all, the powerful figures had already helped her a lot in the secret realm, and the protection from her companions was enough to make her grateful.
Li Diancui only remembered that she had failed to seduce the powerful man and was criticized by him. She only remembered that she was not treated differently, but she did not remember the help the powerful man had given her in the secret realm. Instead, she was full of hatred for Wan Tianfeng and felt that she had lost to this "ugly woman".
...In fact, she understood it deep down.
Although Li Diancui was beautiful and had an excellent temperament, whenever she stood with Wan Tianfeng, the first thing people noticed was Wan Tianfeng's demeanor.
Her beauty paled in comparison to Wan Tianfeng's aura.
When powerful individuals associate with her, they are often more attracted to her appearance than to her strength or inner character, and they certainly won't accompany her on training missions. They might offer her resources and engage in ambiguous and intimate interactions with her, but they would never invite her to join them on any truly dangerous or momentous adventures.
But they treated Wan Tianfeng differently.
Li Diancui had once seen a cultivator who had flirted with her, but when he saw Wan Tianfeng, he immediately straightened his expression, took the initiative to invite Wan Tianfeng to spar, and invited Wan Tianfeng to a banquet. His eyes were full of respect, and his interactions with her were open and aboveboard, without the slightest hint of romance.
She even overheard that the men didn't flirt with Wan Tianfeng, not because they thought she was plain-looking, but because they knew they were no match for her in strength or magnanimity. They feared she wouldn't be willing to become their Daoist partner.
Especially those she had casual relationships with, who would make excuses to refuse when she mentioned wanting to travel together, but then take the initiative to invite Wan Tianfeng to explore some dangerous place with her.
The moment Li Diancui found out, she was furious.
·
At first, Wan Tianfeng didn't take Li Diancui's attitude to heart, and he simply cut off all contact with her.
even……
Wan Tianfeng's eventual falling out with Li Diancui was not only due to Li Diancui's increasingly frequent harassment of her, but also largely because Li Diancui had spoken rudely to that powerful figure during one of their confrontations.
Wan Tianfeng and Li Diancui became enemies because she genuinely looked down on people like Li Diancui.
Deep down, Li Diancui also felt that Wan Tianfeng was open-minded, loyal, and righteous, someone she could never compare to.
Otherwise, Li Diancui wouldn't have been so jealous for so many years.
·
That being said...
Li Diancui took in several apprentices, but those who were not strong enough were quickly expelled from her sect.
Only this young man in the yellow shirt had good aptitude and made good progress, and his temperament was similar to hers, so she liked him very much.
When her daughter was actually less talented than the young man in the yellow shirt, but was a beauty in the making, Li Diancui wanted to marry her daughter to him.
Li Diancui had given prior instructions before coming to the Meteorite Secret Realm.
If the young man in the yellow shirt ever runs into Xuan Bing, he should find an opportunity to kill Xuan Bing!
Unfortunately, the young man in the yellow shirt did encounter the opportunity, but he was unable to do so.
After a period of helpless rage, he managed to suppress his jealousy.
At the same time, he thought that he must not tell his master about this.
When he got back, he told his master that he hadn't met Xuanbing...
·
However, the young man in the yellow shirt can never go back.
As he was wandering through the road, lost in thought, a powerful puppet with an obscured face suddenly appeared on the path ahead.
The puppet gently reached out its hand.
The young man in the yellow shirt's pupils dilated suddenly, his heart filled with fear!
He desperately wanted to escape!
But the terrifying pressure had already enveloped him from all directions, and he felt as if he were stuck in a quagmire, unable to control his movements at all.
The hand seemed to reach out quickly, yet it also seemed to move very slowly.
The young man in the yellow shirt didn't even have time to react before he collapsed to the ground.
In the last instant before his consciousness faded, he seemed to see that hand pull something out of his body.
It was crushed again with a "snap".
·
The puppet man expressionlessly ripped out the heart of the young man in the yellow shirt, looted all his possessions, and casually pushed his body into the nearby dangerous starlight.
To destroy the evidence and cover up the crime.
Then, he ran back without any expression on his face.
·
Zhong Cai lay on Wu Shaogan's back, looking around at the scenery.
Before long, he saw the returning puppet and smiled with satisfaction.
"Old Wu, you're back!"
Wu Shaogan naturally noticed it as well.
The puppet man quickly took out a mustard seed ring and several mustard seed pouches and handed them to Zhong Cai.
Zhong Cai happily put it away.
As for what's inside? We'll have to wait and see.
Just like the mustard seed utensils that were put down before and after, let's take stock of them all together later.
·
Dealing with the young man in the yellow shirt was not a big deal for the two of them.
After all, that guy didn't forget to give them a vicious look before he left, so they naturally felt that he was a potential threat. They figured they should just kill him while no one knew about him in this secret realm.
Sure enough, they killed it.
And no one will know that it was the two of them who did it.
After all, given their strength, they should be more than capable of self-defense but lack offensive power.
·
After that, the two continued to search for celestial treasures, and everything went relatively smoothly.
Whenever they encountered someone who looked somewhat familiar, they would always keep their distance.
Before they knew it, half a month had passed since they entered this Meteorite Secret Realm.
During the day, the two searched for treasures. When it was time to rest in the evening, they did not enter the ancient city. Instead, they took out the flying boat given to them by their master and went inside to rest.
They were having a very pleasant time.
On this day, the two were resting together.
Suddenly, Wu Shaogan's expression changed slightly.
Startled by his reaction, Zhong Cai immediately asked, "Old Wu, what's wrong?"
Wu Shaogan transferred Zhong Cai from his arms to his back and quickly took to the air.
At the same time, he said, "There's movement."
Zhong Cai didn't say much, afraid that if she talked too much, she would distract Lao Wu.
At this moment, Wu Shaogan was speeding towards the outside of the secret realm.
After flying for a while, he released the flying boat again and jumped on with Zhong Cai.
The flying boat sped directly out of the secret realm at top speed.
Almost at the same moment, a majestic voice rang out in the air.
"The secret realm is about to be thrown into turmoil. Any cultivators still within it should flee immediately—"
·
In fact, it wasn't just Wu Shaogan who noticed something was wrong. Those with higher cultivation levels, as long as they weren't engrossed in treasure hunting or entangled with starlight, quickly sensed it and left.
Countless figures emerged rapidly from the mountain range, seemingly transforming into countless bursts of starlight.
Even more terrifying is the "starlight bloom" inside the secret realm.
Every time it blooms, it takes many lives.
The once stable and safe secret realm is no longer safe.
Some meteorite disturbances caused overall turmoil, making many dangers more dangerous, and causing many less dangerous things to collide with each other, turning into an extremely terrifying crisis.
·
The powerful figures high in the sky waved their sleeves, rescuing some cultivators who were unable to escape in time.
Later, several other powerful individuals arrived and used the same technique.
However, the death toll was still higher.
Because they failed to detect the danger in time, they could only lose their lives...
