Lin Daozi secretly decided that when he encountered the elders of the Divine Cauldron Sect later, he would definitely have a good discussion with them. Their management of their own disciples was really too lax. How could they spoil their young disciples so much!
Shi Xuan emerged from her master's place with a broad smile. Outside, a group of Lianfeng Seven were eagerly waiting for her, probably afraid that she would take the blame again like last time.
"Let's go!" Shi Xuan waved his hand. "Today we'll all learn how to refine the Heart-Clearing Pill. It'll be good if we learn it so we won't be like the people from the Divine Cauldron Sect, always so hot-tempered!"

The Silverfrost Secret Realm will be open for a total of twenty-eight days. Many cultivators wait at the entrance several days in advance, trying to find the last chance to obtain the token.
The tokens for disciples of the six major sects are issued by the sects on a fixed quota basis. This is why cultivators are so eager to enter the major sects, as the opportunities they receive are incomparable to those of independent cultivators.
When the appointed time arrived, the entrance to the Silver Frost Secret Realm slowly opened, gradually growing from a small white dot. Before long, a huge vortex appeared out of thin air, even distorting the surrounding spacetime.
Once the entrance was fully open, the cultivators waiting outside filed in, vying to enter. Some rogue cultivators without tokens also tried to sneak in, but they were all mercilessly thrown out by the vortex, no matter how many times they tried.
In less than a quarter of an hour, as all ninety-nine people with tokens entered the secret realm, the entrance vanished instantly.
The scattered cultivators who were thrown out could only sigh in despair and look for the next opportunity. Some, however, stubbornly waited at the door, hoping to gain some benefits when these people came out.
After entering through the entrance, your landing location is random.
Shi Xuan stood on a hill and looked around, but he didn't see a single person.
"The Soul Gathering Stone is located in the far northeast, at the foot of the highest mountain," Lu Shenzhi said.
"Alright, then take your stone first."
Shi Xuan prioritized his senior brother's matter above all else, and headed straight for the northeast. He quickly dealt with the monsters that tried to stop him, and didn't bother to explore other buildings, focusing solely on obtaining the Soul Gathering Stone.
Each disciple has a map of the Silverfrost Secret Realm, but the scene they see will be different each time the realm is reopened.
Lu Shenzhi said, "No matter where it lands, most people are probably looking for the location of the medicine garden and the central hall right now."
Based on past experience, these two locations offer the most and best opportunities. However, these locations are not fixed; some people are lucky enough to land nearby, while others need to search for a long time.
"Then how did you find the Soul Gathering Stone? Why didn't you take it?" Shi Xuan asked.
“At that time, I didn’t want to go to crowded places to join the fun,” Lu Shenzhi replied. “There was only one mountain on the map, which was said to have been explored countless times, all to no avail. Nobody went up the mountain, but I was a little curious.”
"So there are still treasures on the mountain, but no one else has discovered them?"
"There are things, but they are protected by a sophisticated formation. How could ordinary Qi Refining disciples possibly break through it? As for why I didn't take them, there were too many things, and I only selected a few that I could use."
He really wasn't greedy. Shi Xuan laughed twice and said, "I have to admit that I am inferior to Senior Brother's self-proclaimed skill."
Lu Shenzhi didn't stand on ceremony either, "Your senior brother here has some talent in the art of formations."
"Why didn't you choose the Hidden Sect when you entered the sect? You could have gotten the same treatment as the chief disciple."
Lu Shenzhi laughed and said, "It's all because Senior Brother's talent is too versatile. Besides, you can learn talisman arrays anywhere, but you can't learn swordsmanship." He paused for a moment and continued, "Besides, you didn't go to the Divine Cauldron Sect, did you?"
Shi Xuanxin asked, "Can you be like me?" If it weren't for the blood feud with the Divine Cauldron Sect, she might have actually gone.
We've already run quite a distance, passing through a dense forest, and the high mountain in the northeast corner is faintly visible.
Just then, Shi Xuan released his divine sense and sensed someone ahead.
She made a quick decision and jumped up to the nearest big tree.
Upon closer inspection, the person who arrived was none other than Fan Mingzhu! What a small world!
She hurried along alone, seemingly very anxious to find traces of her clansmen.
As she approached, Shi Xuan faintly smelled a familiar, pungent odor, both familiar and irritating. No wonder Fan Mingzhu looked unwell.
However, when she was still some distance away from Shi Xuan, she stopped, looked around, hesitated for a moment, and then turned and walked to the other side.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, she will likely miss out on meeting Shi Xuan.
If Shi Xuan encounters Fan Mingzhu alone, will he let this opportunity pass?
The answer is definitely no.
Shi Xuan observed that there was no one else around him. He jumped down from the tree and ran two steps toward Fan Mingzhu. He took out a small jade sword from his storage bracelet. Driven by his spiritual power, a metallic sword aura belonging to his master roared out and headed straight for Fan Mingzhu!
Shi Xuan attacked without the slightest hesitation, his clean and decisive move aimed at killing the target with a single blow!
Seeing Shi Xuan's murderous intent at the slightest provocation, Lu Shenzhi clicked his tongue and gained a new understanding of how dangerous his junior sister was. He couldn't believe that his usually amiable junior sister was such a ruthless person!
Fan Mingzhu felt a terrifying danger she had never experienced before approaching, and the terrifying pressure felt like it could crush her into dust in an instant.
Although she didn't know where the danger came from, she reflexively gripped the golden bell she had been holding tightly in her hand—a life-saving artifact given to her by her father.
In an instant, as the golden sword energy arrived, a golden protective shield rose up, encasing Fan Mingzhu inside.
The two golden lights suddenly collided with a loud bang. The sword energy, which was blocked by the golden light of the golden bell, split into two halves and rushed to both sides. Trees and flowers were destroyed wherever they passed, and even the ground was carved into two deep pits.
Despite being protected by a defensive artifact, Fan Mingzhu was still thrown back twenty or thirty steps by the shock, and blood trickled from the corner of her mouth.
She looked up from her fear and shock, and saw Shi Xuan about to move again. Her eyes widened in fury as she shouted, "Shi Xuan, how dare you!"
Since Shi Xuan was thrown down the mountain after his spiritual root was replaced, although the few times I saw Shi Xuan were unpleasant and I suffered losses, I was never in danger.
Taking verbal advantage, swindling spirit stones, and releasing foul pills are all minor squabbles. The most serious incident was just stealing her Fiery Red Star. There has never been a moment so full of murderous intent.
Perhaps it was the many minor skirmishes that made Fan Mingzhu lower her guard, and she almost forgot that she and Shi Xuan had a blood feud.
As for Shi Xuan, there was never a suitable time to seek revenge when he saw Fan Mingzhu, whether it was during the Alchemy Competition or before entering the Silver Frost Secret Realm.
But now, in a secret place that no one else can enter, facing a lone Fan Mingzhu, there couldn't be a better opportunity.
