"Master, there's a Thunder Leopard ahead. Find a safe place to stay, and my junior brother and I will take care of it!"
The Wind and Thunder Leopard is a common ferocious beast on the market. Its body contains many materials for alchemy and weapon crafting, and its fur and bones can be used to make leather armor.
In short, the entire Wind and Thunder Leopard is a treasure, useful for both alchemy and weapon crafting.
Zhao Yunting led his junior brother and rushed over.
The little fox stayed behind to protect Lin Xue's safety.
The two quickly dealt with the Wind and Thunder Leopard blocking their path, and as they continued forward, they came across a valley filled with spiritual herbs.
"When I saw that Wind and Thunder Leopard, I knew there must be some high-grade spiritual herbs nearby!"
"Master, look! Taking out so many spiritual herbs should be enough to exchange for quite a few spirit stones!"
“Junior brother, let’s go and gather all these spiritual herbs. Master, you can find a place to rest. Junior brother and I can handle this work.”
Zhao Yunting, along with his junior brother, quickly rushed to the herb room and dug up and collected all the herbs on the ground as fast as they could.
"Host, this system has detected something strange about that cliff!"
"After they finish digging up the medicinal herbs, we can go and take a look!"
629 has already searched the entire valley as quickly as possible.
Finally, their gaze settled on the cliff covered with green vines.
These green vines covered the cliff in layers, almost completely hiding its original appearance.
"There is definitely a slightly different feeling. Let's go and investigate, 629, and find the entrance!"
While her two apprentices were still busy working among the medicinal herbs, she took her own system to the bottom of the cliff and began a thorough inspection.
Lin Xue probed the cliff with her spiritual power inch by inch, but she found that when her spiritual power touched this cliff, it was as if it was blocked by something, and she could not see the specific situation inside the vines at all.
"Host, something's not right here!"
"It seems to be protected by some powerful hidden formation, but this system has still managed to find the entrance."
"This is it! There should be a cave inside. All we need to do is figure out how to get rid of the vines outside!"
After saying that, 629 even extended its claws and waved them a few times on the vines.
The outer vines were easily severed by her sharp claws, but the ones inside were not so easy to cut.
It seems that the vines inside are the thickest, oldest, and most resilient.
Its claws scratched at the vine several times, but it couldn't break it.
"Just use weapons!"
After Lin Xue's reminder, 629 took out a high-tech laser sword from the system space and slashed at the vines.
The vines were quickly severed by the powerful laser sword, slowly revealing the covered cave inside.
After clearing the entrance to the cave, the two waited for their two apprentices to finish their work.
But after watching their two apprentices busy for a while, they turned back and found that the cave entrance that had been opened earlier was covered by vines again.
What's going on?
629 checked and found that the vines that had just been cut had disappeared. The ones that reappeared were just like the first time they were seen, with the layers of holes covered tightly.
"It seems these vines are strange too!"
"Let's wait until they're done with their work before opening it, otherwise it'll heal on its own again!"
Zhao Yunting had never felt that training was such a joyful thing; it was like picking up treasures wherever he went.
First, I picked up a Wind and Cloud Lion, then I killed a Wind and Thunder Leopard, and then this whole patch of spiritual herbs.
No wonder everyone loves venturing into secret realms for training; there are treasures everywhere in the realm of emotions.
"Senior Brother, we've collected so many things along the way. I wonder if other cultivators have done the same?"
"If everyone is at the same level, we should speed things up. If we're too slow, all the good stuff will probably be snatched up by others!"
Perhaps it was just bad luck that led the two brothers to misunderstand the secret realm.
Others don't have their luck; they fight to the death in the secret realm, and even then, they might not get the treasure.
"Junior brother, you're right. All the spiritual herbs here have been dug up. Let's hurry and find Master!"
"We need to hurry and find other treasures elsewhere, or the good stuff will probably all be taken by someone else!"
If outsiders knew that the secret realm was actually for finding treasures, rather than seeking a glimmer of opportunity, it would be a terrible surprise.
That's enough to make anyone green with envy.
"Is it all dug up?"
Seeing her two excited apprentices run back, Lin Xue handed them two jugs of water.
"All the spiritual herbs have been dug up, and we didn't even let the seedlings go. We can transplant them into our sect. If they survive, we won't lack these spiritual herbs in the future!"
Zhao Yunting happily reported on their achievements, imagining the future when the sect would be filled with medicinal herbs, and he couldn't help but feel happy.
He unscrewed the kettle spout and gulped down two large mouthfuls.
Zhao Yunting's cultivation had reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, so he didn't feel particularly tired doing such a small amount of work.
It's tough on the junior brother; he's only at the third level of Qi Refining and already has to work alongside him.
However, if an apprentice is not diligent, he will probably be disliked by his master.
He was doing it for his junior brother's own good.
"Master, let's hurry and check other places! If we're too slow, the good stuff will probably be snatched up by someone else!"
"Senior Brother is still in the mood to chat with Master," Li Zichen urged anxiously.
"You think you can find treasures in secret realms by just picking them up? Only the two of you would dare say something like that!"
After listening to 629 for a long time, I couldn't help but shake my head.
He had already overheard their conversation.
But they didn't correct them. Anyway, once they left this area, the two of them would realize that the treasures in the secret realm were not so easy to obtain.
"Master, open the passage!"
Lin Xue ignored her little apprentice's innocent words and instead had 629 reopen the hole that had just healed.
"Master, why is there a cave behind these vines?"
Li Zichen peeked inside and found it to be pitch black; he couldn't see anything clearly.
He shrank back in fear and stood behind his senior brother.
"Let's go in, or the opening will close again!"
Lin Xue said something and then led the way inside.
The little fox darted in front of Lin Xue immediately. It had to clear the way for its host, who was quite vulnerable at the moment.
"Junior Brother, you go in the middle, I'll cover the rear!"
Zhao Yunting had already seen the broken vines wriggling and healing. He pushed Li Zichen forward and quickly followed him inside.
