"Disciple, the broken formation is gone, but the gate recognizes people; only those with the right destiny can enter. Why don't you come and try?"
After angering Sect Leader Wen in Wanyue City that day, Lu Li returned to Liuyue Sect and continued his lazy, laid-back life.
As for his claim that he had reached the threshold of breakthrough that day, it was nothing more than words to deceive the other party.
He crossed that threshold eight hundred years ago. It's just a simple transition from the mid-stage to the late-stage Golden Core realm. There's no need to make a fuss about it.
He just needs to stay out of the public eye for a while, and then adjust his publicly displayed cultivation level to the late Golden Core stage.
So, Lu Li, who had returned to the Liuyue Sect, resumed his early retirement life.
Every morning when Shushu started practicing swordsmanship, he would move a deck chair next to him, watching Shushu practice while basking in the sun. In the afternoon, when Shushu studied magic, he would still bask in the sun next to him.
Shushu was extremely envious of these comfortable days, but after comparing his own strength with Shushu's, he quickly came to terms with reality.
No matter how much Lu Li slacked off, she persisted in cultivating and improving herself, determined not to let herself become lazy.
On this day, as the senior and junior disciples began their daily routine of one practicing swordsmanship and the other sunbathing, the communication jade tablet that Lu Li had placed in his spatial storage activated.
Upon taking it out, they saw it was their long-absent master, who had sent them to Xianglai Forest.
"Disciple, come to the main hall and help lead some disciples to Xianglai Forest."
Just as Lu Li was about to ask his master when he had gotten rid of that persistent Sect Leader Wen, another message came in through the communication jade tablet. This time, it was from his master's wife, Liu Ying.
These two had obviously planned this together; they probably couldn't stand Lu Li living such a carefree life and had to find him something to do.
The distance from Liuyue Sect to Xianglai Forest was too short for him to escort them. His master's wife wanted to kick him out of the sect just like she kicked Xu Ruoyun.
Compared to Xu Ruoyun, who was kicked out of the sect for being too noisy, his situation was purely due to his master's wife being busy and unable to bear seeing him idle. Sigh~
Thinking of Xu Ruoyun, Lu Li remembered that Xu Ruoyun hadn't sent a telepathic message to Shushu for some time.
When Xu Ruoyun first went to Xianglai Forest, she wanted to send eight hundred telepathic messages to Shushu every day, trying to fool him.
Because Shushu never hid her voice transmissions from him, Lu Li naturally knew what she was saying.
He remembered that the last time Xu Ruoyun sent a message, she seemed to say that her fifth uncle had broken the broken formation and she was going to go in to take a look. He hadn't received any messages from her since then.
Considering what Master and Mistress just said, Xu Ruoyun is probably one of the first people to be recognized and admitted.
So, Xu Ruoyun has been inside for almost half a month now. It seems that his master and mistress are planning to send someone else in, so there shouldn't be any danger inside.
Then, Lu Li turned his gaze to Shushu: "Junior Sister, Master asked me to go to the secret realm of Xianglai Forest. Do you want to come with me?"
Yes, they have confirmed that a secret realm is hidden beneath the ruined formation.
Originally, considering that the broken formation carried the aura of antiquity, the secret realm should at least have been passed down from ancient times.
Shushu's cultivation level is not high enough yet, and her ability to protect herself is not strong enough, so Lu Li did not initially plan to take her with him.
But now, he changed his mind. Since Xu Ruoyun had been in the secret realm for half a month without any problems, his master and uncle were planning to send someone else in.
Given the restriction that only those below the Nascent Soul stage could enter, Lu Li felt it wouldn't hurt to let Shushu give it a try.
Anyway, Shushu will definitely need to train in various secret realms in the future, so why not start from this time? At least he'll be going in with us this time, and we can keep an eye on him.
"The secret realm of Xianglai Forest? I want to go too."
Shushu had no idea that Lu Li had so many thoughts in his mind. She had already taken out her little wooden sword and was wielding it quite skillfully.
Upon hearing Lu Li speak to her, she immediately stopped practicing her swordplay and, almost without thinking, agreed.
She also wanted to visit the secret realm, especially since Wen Jianxi had contributed to it.
"Alright, let's go to Master's wife's place on the main peak first."
Lu Li heard her reply, but this time he didn't try to catch her. He first jumped onto his flying sword by himself, and then turned to look at Shushu.
Shushu quickly summoned his flying artifact, stuffed spirit stones into it, and propelled it to Lu Li's side: "Senior Brother, let's go."
It turns out that ever since Lu Li crafted the flying artifact for Shushu, he usually lets Shushu operate it herself within the sect, so that she can become familiar with flying.
This way, even if Shushu leaves the sect later, he can still fly flexibly on his own.
Shushu naturally had no objection to this; she had to learn to grow on her own.
Whether it's Lu Li or Immortal Boss, one is her senior brother and the other is her fellow disciple. They can't always be by her side. She still needs to learn how to use the flying artifact on her own.
Back to the present, with Lu Li's deliberate cooperation, the senior and junior brothers and sisters entered the main hall one after the other.
"Bunny, bunny."
As soon as they entered the hall, they found that there were already quite a few figures standing inside. Among them, Shushu spotted Rabbit and quickly put away his flying artifact, rushing to its side.
Lu Li, who came in with her, watched as Shushu suddenly went to Tutu's side, his eyes flashing with doting affection.
Then they walked to the head of the table, where Liu Ying was talking to several of her senior uncles and hadn't noticed their arrival. She remained silent.
He stood there quietly, his attention focused on the millet and potatoes.
At this moment, Shushu started chatting with Tutu: "Tutu, are you also going to the secret realm of Xianglai Forest?"
"Yes, that's right, Shushu, you're coming too!"
"Yes, yes, Senior Brother is going too. Third Senior Sister should already be inside. This is my first time going to the secret realm, I don't know what it's like."
"Don't worry, don't worry. This time, the secret realm we're going to is only for disciples from our sect. Everyone is fine, so don't be afraid. Oh, and I've prepared a lot of food. I'll give you some. We don't know if it will be easy to find food once we're inside."
“Great! I have some jade fruits and these spirit fruits here. I’ll share some with you.”
"Mmm, thank you, sweet potato."
"Haha, thank you too, Bunny. I didn't even have time to prepare any other food."
...
Hearing the two soft, sweet voices talking beside him, one of whom was his favorite junior sister, Lu Li's gentle expression softened even more. He didn't pay attention until Liu Ying finished her business and called him back, waiting for Liu Ying's instructions.
The reason Lu Li was chosen to lead the team this time was because he knew the exact location of the remnant formation, making it easier to guide them. Therefore, there were no other instructions given. Liu Ying only told him to keep an eye on the people before they set off.
Soon, led by Lu Li, the group left the sect and headed towards Xianglai Forest.
Sweet Potato also sat on the flying artifact, flying in the middle of the group, about to begin her first secret realm journey in her rat life.
