She's already at the Foundation Establishment stage at her age, and she'll likely maintain this youthful and beautiful appearance forever. It's a bit enviable.
The senior sister thought of herself; she entered the sect at the age of nine, and even with a Heavenly Spiritual Root, it took her thirteen years to reach the Foundation Establishment stage. Yet, she looked remarkably young despite being only in her twenties.
Knowing that Wan Ge was the genius who had achieved Foundation Establishment in three years, the Ni Chang Pavilion specially gifted Wan Ge a set of headdresses in the same light blue color.
Senior Sister even called the elders of the Rainbow Pavilion, asking why they hadn't sent her off when she was establishing her foundation.
The elder knew the other party was joking with him but was not angry. He also gave his senior sister a bracelet.
Senior Sister happily brought Wan Ge back to the sect. Although the bracelet given by Ni Chang Pavilion was not a precious magic artifact, it was particularly beautiful. Even though she had become a cultivator, she had not completely transcended the state of being without desires, and she still had a love for beauty.
"Alright, the clothes have been chosen. Senior Sister, go back and prepare some more pills."
"See you tomorrow, senior sister." Wan Ge nodded obediently and watched her senior sister leave.
Her senior sister's residence was also very close to hers, but her senior sister was passionate about alchemy and would stay in the alchemy room on the back mountain when she was practicing alchemy.
The sect had assembled early the next morning.
Besides the two inner disciples, Shuyu Peak also has three outer disciples.
Although they became disciples early, they were not inner disciples, so they still politely called the two senior sisters.
Looking at his junior disciple from the outer sect who appeared to be around forty years old, Wan Ge guessed that the other party might have only reached the Foundation Establishment stage at the age of sixty or seventy.
The sect has a youth-preserving pill that can be taken after the age of twenty-five. Taking it will slow down the aging process.
The person in front of me looks to be forty years old, but he is definitely more than forty.
The anti-aging pills are not expensive, so both inner and outer disciples can afford them. They are especially affordable for the elders' disciples.
Wan Ge asked her senior sister, "Isn't senior brother coming with us to the secret realm?"
Senior sister shook her head: "Senior brother has made great progress in his cultivation recently, and he is currently in a critical period of breakthrough, so he will not be coming with us this time. Once senior brother breaks through, he probably won't be able to accompany you either, unless junior sister reaches the Nascent Soul stage as soon as possible."
"Is Senior Sister about to break through as well?"
"It's still early. Although my senior sister reached the Nascent Soul stage twenty years ago, she has never found a breakthrough opportunity. However, this secret realm might hold something that can help me break through."
"Then we must search carefully this time. It would be great if there was anything that could help Senior Sister break through."
"Uh-huh."
Before the secret realm began, Sister Zhi took out another map, which was the map of this secret realm.
Once inside the secret realm, everyone may end up in different places, so they need to find a point of convergence.
"The Divine Tree of Yunlin is visible from the outer edges of the map, and it's safer than the Demon-Trapping Tower. Once inside, try to gather under the Divine Tree before dark. Understand?"
The other four nodded in unison.
The senior sister was very satisfied and had everyone take out their tokens, on which she added the incantation given by her master.
"If you really can't find our location, just inject spiritual energy, and you'll be able to find the person closest to you. However, this requires continuously injecting spiritual energy, and although the consumption is not high, it still depletes your spiritual energy. It's best not to use it unless absolutely necessary."
"Understood, Senior Sister."
After listening, the senior sister gave some pills to her fellow disciples, telling them to protect themselves. Then it was time for the secret realm to open.
One by one, the disciples entered, and soon Wan Ge also ushered in her second secret realm experience.
I had only recently established my foundation and had the opportunity to enter the secret realm, but I died there for that man.
Over the course of thirty years, the other person had clearly become exceptionally strong, yet he still watched helplessly as she sacrificed herself for him, forcing her to prove just how much she loved him.
The more Wan Ge thought about it, the more indignant she felt for her past life. So she kept reminding herself not to get close to the man named Yue Chen, because it would lead to unhappiness.
…
When Wan Ge opened her eyes, she found herself in a misty forest.
However, Wan Ge discovered that she seemed to be able to resonate with the trees in the forest because of her wood-type spiritual root.
So she sensed the surroundings with them and found that there was no danger. Only when Wan Ge reached the top of the tree did she see the Cloud Forest Divine Tree that her senior sister had mentioned in the distance.
The misty forest beneath my feet must be the Cloud Forest, and at its end lies the Divine Tree on the map.
I woke up in the Cloud Forest, and I don’t know if I will be the first person to go to the Divine Tree.
Just as she resonated with the trees, Wan Ge discovered that there were also many spiritual herbs in the forest. Her secret realm was for collecting rare and precious treasures, and spiritual herbs were one of them.
Therefore, she did not plan to fly there on her sword now, but after confirming her destination, she planned to dig for herbs on her way there.
Anyway, it can resonate with the trees and sense the danger around it, so it can just run away when there is real danger.
However, the spiritual herbs I'm sensing now, though precious outside, are not uncommon in the secret realm, so they shouldn't be protected by any special guardian beasts.
…
As the sun was about to set, Wan Ge finally arrived at the foot of the sacred tree.
Her senior sister and three junior brothers were already there; she was the last to arrive.
"Junior sister, why are you only arriving now? Are you alright?"
"No, Senior Sister, I saw so many spiritual herbs and medicines that I lost track of time while picking them."
