Shi Xuan had already begun collecting the corpse of the Purple Flame Demon Lion. He could only collect the demon cores of low-level demon beasts, but this level eight demon beast was a treasure trove; its entire body was valuable, containing pills, artifacts, talismans, and arrays—truly a rare and precious find.
"Does anyone need any materials from this corpse?" Shi Xuan turned to the disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect and asked.
"No need!" everyone replied in unison. Most of them were focused on practicing swordsmanship, and even the few from Hundred Herbs Peak didn't need such high-grade materials.
Besides, everyone knows that Shi Xuan was responsible for most of the damage in killing the Purple Flame Demon Lion. They played a very small role, so it's only right that the Purple Flame Demon Lion should go to Shi Xuan.
"Alright, I'll keep the corpse of the Purple Flame Demon Lion. Let's convert it into spirit stones, say two thousand high-grade spirit stones. There are twenty of us, so we'll each get one hundred."
After she finished speaking, she took out a pile of spirit stones and gave each person a hundred.
For an ordinary disciple of a sect, one hundred high-grade spirit stones would be a huge sum of money, but for the people of the Lianfeng Sword Sect, who had just made a fortune from Shi Xuan's victory in the individual competition, one hundred high-grade spirit stones didn't seem like much.
Lu Wenxing patted his belly exaggeratedly and said, "Junior Sister can keep it for herself. Your second senior brother is rich now, hahaha!"
Lu Shan, who was standing to the side, put away the spirit stones and said, "Senior Brother Lu Wenxing, do you know about the incident a couple of days ago when someone invited people from the Langya Sect to dinner and wouldn't let them order the last page of the menu? I vaguely remember something like that. Could that person be you, Senior Brother?"
"Hahahaha," Lu Shan said, and the entire Lianfeng Sword Sect burst into laughter. Many of these people were present at the time, and only two days had passed since then, yet Lu Wenxing had already become arrogant.
Lu Wenxing stared wide-eyed and said, "Times have changed. Even if I invite them to dinner again, I still won't let them order the last page!"
The audience outside was also quite surprised by their conversation.
"No way, is the Lianfeng Sword Sect really that poor? They can only afford to spend a few spirit stones to treat someone to a meal? And they can't even order whatever they want."
"I heard that the Lianfeng Sword Sect used to be the poorest of the six sects, and their disciples were very... uh... frugal when they went out."
"Everyone says that was in the past. This time, they've already made a fortune betting on the time to win. Things are completely different now."
"I also want to fight monsters with Shi Xuan, and I can get a hundred high-grade spirit stones! A hundred high-grade spirit stones is enough to buy the magic robe I've got my eye on, and there will still be some left over..."
"Then let's go back and have our sects try their best to recruit Shi Xuan. In any case, given her skills, she would be a core disciple in any sect."
...
After distributing the spirit stones in the secret realm, Shi Xuan used a cleaning spell to clean up the Purple Flame Demon Lion and then threw it into Silver Frost for Zeng Mo and Li Jun to handle.
At the very moment the spell was cast, Shi Xuan seemed to sense something.
She immediately stopped making hand seals and walked closer to examine the Purple Flame Demon Lion. There seemed to be a substance stuck to its fur, not very obvious, and easy to miss if you didn't look closely.
Shi Xuan paused for a moment, then stepped forward to examine it closely.
It really is snow essence powder!
Snow Essence Powder is an auxiliary material, mainly used for setting up the Soul Separation Array.
This purple flame demon lion, when connected to the Soul Separation Array, reminded her of the silver wolf she encountered in the Silver Frost Secret Realm.
So, is it another "newcomer" organization?
Last time in the Silver Frost Secret Realm, Shi Xuan suspected that it was caused by a finished formation brought in by a disciple of the Hidden Sect. However, the peak where the Hidden Sect had a problem has disappeared, and the entire mountain has been razed to the ground. Could it be that there are still remnants that have not been eliminated?
Of course, it doesn't necessarily have to be from the Hidden Sect. For example, her senior brother, although not from the Hidden Sect, is also proficient in formations, so that's also a possibility.
After collecting several clumps of fur containing snow essence powder, Shi Xuan then cast a cleansing spell on the corpse of the Purple Flame Demon Lion and stored it in Silver Frost.
Zeng Mo and Li Jun were both very happy in the Silver Frost, as the corpse of an eighth-level demon beast was not something that could be obtained so easily. Given Shi Xuan's personality, he would usually let them take whatever they wanted.
The two had a clear division of labor and quickly dealt with the mountain of purple flame demonic lions. All the useful materials were sorted and disposed of, awaiting Shi Xuan's instructions; they were quite useful tools.
"Where are we going now?" Gu Liangce asked Shi Xuan. The battle had been thrilling but ultimately safe. He wondered if there were any more level-eight demonic beasts like this in the secret realm.
Shi Xuan first distributed some pills to replenish their spiritual energy, then sighed and said seriously, "It seems that this secret realm is not safe either. We need to find a way to save our fellow Daoists from other sects. Why don't we go and find those fellow Daoists who may be in danger and safely send them out of the secret realm?"
Gu Liangce stared at Shi Xuan for a while, seemingly stunned, before finally understanding what Shi Xuan was saying.
"Hitting someone is fine, but what a refreshing way to put it. Sending other fellow cultivators out of the secret realm for their safety, she's so kind... I wonder if fellow cultivators from other sects would think the same way."
I initially thought she was going to offer some serious suggestions based on her serious expression, but who would have thought...
The disciples of the Lianfeng Sword Sect fell silent for a moment, then gave Shi Xuan a thumbs-up and praised him in a pretentious manner, saying, "Fellow Daoist Shi Xuan is so righteous! So righteous!"
Shi Xuan cupped his hands in greeting to them and said modestly, "Of course, of course!"
The audience outside was speechless. The skin of the Lianfeng Sword Sect was getting thicker and thicker. Did they expect that if they eliminated others, those others would sincerely thank them for saving their lives?
And then there's Xuan, spouting utter nonsense with a straight face, yet people actually listen to him! What has blinded them, making them so utterly ignorant!
With the aid of top-grade elixirs, the people of the Lianfeng Sword Sect had rested and recuperated in no time.
Shi Xuan waved his hand and led the group forward.
Having learned from his previous experience, Shi Xuan made more thorough preparations, constantly guarding against attacks from high-level demonic beasts. He also kept his divine sense fully activated throughout the journey, constantly monitoring the surrounding situation.
After walking for about fifteen minutes, they did not encounter any demonic beasts, probably because the Purple Flame Demon Lion had accumulated great power.
"Wait," Shi Xuan suddenly stopped. She stood still, extending her divine sense in one direction. After a moment, she smiled and said, "There are fellow Daoists ahead who need help. Let's go."
"Let's go, let's go help our fellow Daoists from other sects!" The group from the Lianfeng Sword Sect followed Shi Xuan excitedly, looking as if they were going to rescue their fellow Daoists from dire straits!
Their enthusiasm sparked another round of discussion among the spectators outside.
"I'm a little curious, which sect they've targeted? That's a bit unfortunate."
"I want to see if the disciples of the sects they sent away will be grateful to them."
"How about we wait at the exit of the secret realm and see if the disciples who come out later are happy or unhappy?"
...
