Looking at Wei Zishu and the others, she couldn't help but ask curiously, "Are you the only four coming up? Where are Xiao Chenchen and Senior Brother Gu?"
"Junior Brother Chen and Uncle Gu are right behind us. They should be coming up soon." Wei Zishu said.
"Oh, so! Are you and Xiaoyu okay?" Xiao Liyue continued to ask.
Nangong Yu shook his head and said, "Sister Liyue, we are fine. We just suffered some minor injuries. We are not as seriously injured as You and the others."
"We are fine, Sister Liyue, but Mo and the others were injured by the giant fish's tail. It's my fault." Wei Zishu said with a look of self-blame. As a senior brother, he failed to protect them.
Xiao Liyue looked at the frustrated Wei Zishu and comforted him, "Zishu, you don't have to feel guilty. After all, with your strength, entering the Netherworld Secret Realm is a cross-level challenge. The fact that you are fine has already proved that you are very powerful."
Wei Zishu smiled and said, "Thank you, Sister Liyue. If it weren't for you, we would never have the chance to enter this secret realm of the underworld in our lifetime. After entering, I realized that we are still too weak."
Xiao Liyue put her arms around Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu's shoulders and said, "We are indeed very weak now, but I believe that you will accompany me on the road to becoming a strong man in the future, so let's work hard together to become stronger, and then experience different scenery that belongs to the strong. Don't you want to stay in Xianyou Continent? Don't you want to visit other continents?"
"Another continent? Is it the fairyland? Can we really ascend to heaven?" Nangong Yu murmured to himself.
"Nonsense... Of course you can! Our ancestors were able to ascend, so why can't we? Are our qualifications worse than theirs?" Xiao Liyue said.
Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu's eyes lit up. Thousands of years ago, their ancestors had the same qualifications as them and were able to ascend to heaven, so why couldn't they break the shackles of thousands of years of no one ascending to heaven.
"We understand. We will work harder in our cultivation and will always follow Sister Liyue." The two said with determination.
Xiao Liyue laughed and said, "Perhaps you will become an existence that surpasses me? Don't forget me when that time comes."
"Impossible..." they said in unison.
Gu Qinghan, Yu Fengchen and the other two who had just come up heard them saying something impossible. Also, Xiao Liyue was hugging their shoulders intimately, so the three of them looked at them with confusion.
Gu Qinghan was even more puzzled and asked: "What's impossible? What are you doing?"
When Wei Zishu saw them coming up, he came to his senses and found that Xiao Liyue was hugging his shoulders. His handsome face turned red instantly.
"Sister Liyue...your hand..."
After hearing this, Nangong Yu turned his head to look at Xiao Liyue's hand on his shoulder. Seeing her face so close, he could clearly smell the fragrance of her hair.
Nangong Yu, who had never had any contact with a woman, saw her hugging his shoulders. His handsome face immediately turned red and he froze in place.
Yu Fengchen looked at his friends' shy expressions, and quickly stepped forward to pull Xiao Liyue's hand off, then supported her and said, "Master is feeling uncomfortable, let me help you!"
"Ah! I'm okay! Actually, it's not that uncomfortable." Xiao Liyue was a little overwhelmed and blurted out.
Wei Zishu and Nangong Yu looked at Xiao Liyue being helped away, and they suddenly felt a little lost. They suddenly envied Yu Fengchen because he was Sister Liyue's apprentice, so he and Sister Liyue could have such close contact.
When Gu Qinghan learned that she was feeling uncomfortable and needed Wei Zishu and others to support her, he didn't think much about it.
After Chu Mingyou and Situ Mo woke up, Xiao Liyue took out twenty-one red blood spirit fruits. "There are twenty-one red blood spirit fruits here, and I have five left. Since the remaining two are difficult to distribute, I plan to keep them and auction them back, and then everyone will share the spirit stones."
"It's called Red Blood Spirit Fruit? I've never seen this name before." Wei Zishu asked puzzledly.
"Yes! It is a very precious spiritual fruit. For cultivators below the Tribulation Crossing Stage, eating one can advance one level."
Gu Qinghan and his companions were shocked when they heard this. They could each get a few of these precious spiritual fruits. If this were to get out, they might be hunted down by strong men below the level of the Tribulation Crossing! After all, eating one would advance one level!
Gu Qinghan said, "Junior Sister Xiao, you'd better not auction them. Once the spiritual fruit comes out, I'm afraid some strong men will come to trouble you. Besides, if it weren't for Ziqing, we wouldn't know there was this treasure at the bottom of the lake, so I'll leave these two to you!"
Jiang He, who was standing by, learned about the preciousness of the spiritual fruit and nodded quickly, saying, "Ninth Elder, please accept it! We have no complaints."
"Okay! Then each of you will get three. I will protect you tonight. You can take one first to advance. Only when you become stronger, the next adventure will be easier." Xiao Liyue said.
"Okay." Several people happily took the Red Blood Spirit Fruit.
Under Ziqing's leadership, they found a secret cave. Yu Fengchen and others sat cross-legged on the ground, took out a red blood spirit fruit and started eating it.
Soon they felt a powerful spiritual energy forming in their bodies, and they quickly began to practice absorbing and refining the spiritual energy.
And it took them five days to absorb it.
The first one to finish absorbing the energy was Yu Fengchen. Because he absorbed the energy very well, he actually broke through the enlightenment period and advanced to the late fusion period.
Then Wei Zishu advanced to the middle stage of heart-beating, Nangong Yu advanced to the middle stage of heart-beating, Chu Mingyou advanced to the peak stage of fusion, Situ Mo advanced to the peak stage of fusion, and Jiang He advanced to the late stage of heart-beating.
The last one came was Gu Qinghan. There was a powerful aura lingering around him, which was intimidating. The beam of light became thicker and thicker, rushing up to the sky, bursting out with dazzling light.
Then he quickly stood up and flew out of the cave. He saw a golden light in the sky shining on him, and then three heavenly thunders struck him. Gu Qinghan sat cross-legged on the snow to resist the thunder tribulation. After an hour, he successfully formed a golden elixir and became a golden elixir cultivator.
Jiang He stepped forward with an excited look on his face and said, "Congratulations to Uncle Qinghan for becoming a Jindan cultivator. The Sect Master will definitely be very happy when he finds out."
"Congratulations, Senior Brother Gu, on becoming a Jindan cultivator." Xiao Liyue also congratulated him.
Wei Zishu and others also congratulated him. Although Yu Fengchen didn't like him, he also congratulated him sincerely.
Gu Qinghan said happily: "Thank you, Junior Sister Xiao, and thank you everyone as well."
Xiao Liyue was happy for everyone seeing that they had gained a lot, but considering that they had advanced too quickly, she asked them to continue practicing to consolidate their cultivation.
In the following three days, Xiao Liyue and his party, under the leadership of Ziqing, found many spiritual herbs along the way. When they encountered the spiritual beast Yu Fengchen, they were able to deal with it. They could not only find treasures, but also gain experience, which was very helpful for improving their cultivation.
And after this period of rest, Xiao Liyue obviously felt that her body had almost recovered. She should be able to use her spiritual power after another day or two of rest.
