Having learned from the previous experience, Qiu Xiu did not cause any more trouble in the days that followed.
Tianning was a homebody, and Shi Qinxin would occasionally drag her to the nearby streets to buy some interesting trinkets and snacks. The two of them waited like this until the day the secret realm opened.
The sect gave us jade tokens to enter the secret realm, which lasted about seven days. If we encountered any danger during this time, we could break the jade tokens to leave the secret realm.
As this was an unknown new secret realm, each of the six major sects sent an elder to prevent any unexpected events from occurring.
"Junior Sister, hold my hand tightly when we enter the secret realm," Shi Qinxin instructed.
If they don't hurry, the space that tears when they enter the secret realm will separate them.
Tianning obediently held onto her third senior sister, filled with curiosity about the secret realm they were about to enter.
According to the calculations made by the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion at the request of the elders of the six major sects, this secret realm is sparsely populated with demonic beasts and lacks any opportunities left behind by powerful figures, except for its abundant spiritual plants. It appears to be relatively safe and is the most suitable secret realm for alchemy cultivators.
Apart from the disciples of the Dan Ding Sect, most of the people here this time are disciples from various sects who are short of spirit stones and have come to dig for spirit plants. If they find high-grade spirit plants and resell them, becoming rich overnight is not a dream!
Tianning followed Shi Qinxin and showed her jade token, then lined up to enter the secret realm one by one.
When it was their turn, Tianning felt the scene before her begin to flip, and in a short while it transformed into a vibrant scene within the secret realm.
Just as the Heavenly Secrets Pavilion had said, upon entering the secret realm, the ground was covered with lush, weed-like second-tier spiritual plants, trees, and grasses.
Some people have already started digging. Such a large area of woods and grass is worth at least several low-grade spirit stones!
One of the disciples of the Dan Ding Sect thought to himself: "They've never seen anything like this before."
Second-tier spiritual plants like forest trees and grasses are nothing special in the secret realm. The real treasures are found further inside; they won't waste their time here.
Shi Qinxin saw some junior brothers and sisters dressed in the robes of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect diligently digging. Considering that sword cultivators were generally poor, she said, "Junior sister, how about I stay here with you and dig for a while?"
Tianning found the paper that recorded the tasks he had accepted, and looked it over but didn't find any tasks that required Lin Mucao.
"No need, Third Senior Sister, let's go find the Blazing Flame Fruit first." The main task of this trip is the Blazing Flame Fruit, Tian Ning said, "We can pick some spiritual plants that I need for the mission along the way."
Shi Qinxin nodded. Since her junior sister had said so, she wouldn't be coy.
Looking around, the entire secret realm is almost entirely filled with spiritual plants. Everyone who enters this time should be able to reap a bountiful harvest and stay until the secret realm closes.
The Blazing Fruit thrives in heat, so Shi Qinxin led Tianning towards a volcano in the east.
Along the way, they saw many disciples stopping to dig for spiritual plants. Further in, the disciples of the Dan Ding Sect were also digging. Except for Qiu Xiu and his group led by Helian Boda, who did not stop, they all had the same goal: the sixth-order Blazing Flame Fruit.
Helian Boda and his group walked ahead. When Tian Ning and Shi Qinxin caught up, Qiu Xiu, who had been holding back his anger for several days, started to speak sarcastically to them.
"Oh, Shi Qinxin, you haven't given up yet? You're an unorthodox alchemist who only knows how to refine poisons. So what if you actually get the Blazing Flame Fruit? Do you really think you're capable of refining the Pulse Restoration Pill?"
Qiu Xiu didn't care that no one paid attention to him. He continued, getting more and more excited: "Giving you the Blazing Flame Fruit would be a waste! I think you should give it up to our Pill Cauldron Sect as soon as possible. When my father refines the Pulse Restoration Pill, maybe you'll kneel down and beg me, and I'll take pity on you and give you one!"
Qin Xin completely ignored what he said.
Even if the sect leader of Dan Ding Sect personally refines a batch of Fu Mai Dan, under the best circumstances, a batch of pills can only produce a maximum of five pills.
Five pills... Over the years, many people in the cultivation world have damaged their meridians. Qiu Xiu's cousin, the nephew of the Dan Ding Sect leader, encountered an accident while traveling for training. The former genius fell into the abyss overnight and is now just waiting for a Meridian Restoration Pill to repair his meridians.
How rare are Blazing Flame Fruits? Many disciples from various sects still need them…
In order to consolidate its relationship with other sects, the Dan Ding Sect will inevitably sell itself to the outside world.
Thinking of this, Shi Qinxin unconsciously touched her shattered dantian.
If she were only unable to wield a sword due to broken meridians, Sect Leader Xiao might have gone to the Pill Cauldron Sect to request a Meridian Restoration Pill for her. But now she's just a useless person with her dantian completely destroyed. If she doesn't take a gamble to obtain the Blazing Flame Fruit, she'll probably never have the chance to obtain a Meridian Restoration Pill in her lifetime.
Shi Qinxin's eyes turned cold, and emotions that had not been rampant for a long time surged up: "Qiu Xiu, I don't mind fighting you here! Anyway, this is a secret realm, and as long as you are all dead, no one will know who did it."
Qiu Xiu was so angry he was about to jump up and down!
"Shi Qinxin, you crazy woman, how are you any different from the demons in your behavior? And you still say you don't have any lingering ties with the demons... Ugh!!"
Tianning, annoyed by his loud noise, took out a large steamed bun from her storage bag and stuffed it into his wide-open mouth.
The world is finally quiet.
Several Dan Ding Sect disciples silently gave Tian Ning a thumbs up in their hearts. Senior Brother Qiu had been too troublesome lately, throwing a tantrum at everyone he met.
Qiu Xiu was so startled by the unexpected steamed bun that he almost couldn't catch his breath!
He took out the damned steamed bun, just about to explode.
Tian Ning spoke first: "Senior Brother Helian, aren't you going to do anything about his rude remarks that are damaging the relationship between our two sects?"
"..."
Helian Boda regretted what he had said that day. It was clear that this junior sister held a grudge.
The Dan Ding Sect was in the wrong in this matter, and everyone saw that Qiu Xiu had spoken rudely first.
"Junior Brother Qiu, our main mission this time is to obtain the Blazing Flame Fruit. Behave yourself and don't cause any more trouble."
Qiu Xiu retorted angrily, "Helian Boda, stop lecturing me!"
“Junior Brother Qiu, if you hadn’t leaked the news about the Blazing Flame Fruit appearing in the secret realm without permission, there wouldn’t be so many people competing with the Pill Cauldron Sect for it! Master has already analyzed the pros and cons with you, don’t you know that?” Helian Boda frowned and said, “Don’t forget, Senior Brother Bai is still waiting for us to bring the Blazing Flame Fruit back.”
Qiu Xiu is the kind of person who will retort with ten sentences for every one thing you say to him!
But when Helian Boda mentioned his poor cousin, Qiu Xiu unusually refrained from targeting Shi Qinxin: "Alright, I know. They can't possibly compete with so many of us. Let's go!"
The people from Dan Ding Sect quickened their pace, far surpassing Tian Ning and her group.
"Third Senior Sister, should we hurry up too?"
Tianning remembered his senior brother saying that the Blazing Flame Fruit was extremely rare, with only one fruit tree bearing fruit in a hundred years.
