Chapter 223: Now That I'm Here, Why Leave?
The clouds are vast and the water is boundless.
The water and the sky are so seamlessly integrated that it is hard to tell whether you are in the sky or on the water.
Xue Zun did say that after the secret realm is opened, one will be teleported to different places, but he never said that one will be teleported to an array within an array.
It was an illusion that the sky and water were one color. Youhuang had already traveled for half an hour without meeting anyone, seeing any spiritual herbs, or encountering any monsters. If he continued to waste time, nothing would be left.
He took out the Wuji Sword and slashed it into the air with all his strength.
The illusion before my eyes shattered like a mirror in an instant, and before my eyes there was a field of jade trees and flowers that looked like tassels, very much like snow in April.
“It would be very spectacular if Wangshu Tower had one.” With an impulsive move, Youhuang put away the Wuji Sword and picked a tree from a cluster of jade trees. It was not too big but the tree was growing very well. He put it into the ring together with the roots and mud.
"It's better to pick a few more and give them away later. They are better than those vulgar things."
Youhuang carefully selected a few similar trees and put them into the ring before leaving Ban Yushulin with satisfaction.
Shortly after she left, two graceful figures landed in the jade forest.
The two female cultivators searched the Jade Forest for a while, and one of them said unwillingly, "It was clearly the aura of the Wuji Sword just now, how come it disappeared in the blink of an eye? Is he hiding from us on purpose?"
"He is hiding from you, Fairy Yuanxiang." Fairy Changle said coldly: "Every time you see him, he pretends to be weak and pitiful, making people feel that he has let you down."
"It's better than you yelling at him as soon as we meet. He just doesn't like you and he doesn't owe you anything." Fairy Yuanxiang also sarcastically said, "He deserves to be scolded, so of course he will hide when he sees you. You and I should go our separate ways. Without you around, maybe he will be willing to see me."
"Stop putting money on yourself."
Fairy Changle snorted coldly and flew away from the jade forest on her sword.
Before leaving, he thought to himself, "Why did he dig up a few jade trees for no reason? Is he using them to attract monsters?"
Youhuang followed Xue Zun's instructions and walked towards the direction with rich spiritual energy. Any good things he came across would be put into his ring.
Now that he has reached the Xudan stage, he naturally will not win by quantity like he did last time in the ancient tomb and pick low-level spiritual herbs and fruits in Dali. Instead, he will only take away the good stuff when he comes across it.
She had just harvested a ripe mid-grade spiritual fruit and was about to leave when she heard the sound of fighting. Following the principle of less trouble is worse than more, You Huang was about to fly away when a gust of wind blew and forced her back to where she was.
Roar……
With a deafening roar, a monster larger than an adult elephant appeared before their eyes.
When You Huang saw the appearance of the monster clearly, her face immediately looked very ugly. Why the hell did it run into this playground? She didn't have time to waste on it.
Gu Zheng looks like a red leopard, but it has horns on its head.
As for the level of the monster, looking at how many tails it has behind it, Youhuang counted them and the situation became even more pessimistic.
It has five tails, one of which is only two-thirds the length of the other three, indicating that it is a fifth-order early stage demon beast, with the strength equivalent to that of a cultivator in the Jindan stage.
It would be too tiring to fight it, but if I don't fight it, it might be guarding some high-grade magical herbs and fruits. There are also a large number of immortal cultivators and demon cultivators nearby. If they notice me, wouldn't I be making wedding clothes for others in vain, and giving an advantage to the immortal cultivators and demon cultivators hiding in the dark.
There was no scent of spiritual herbs or fruits in the air. Could it be the mid-grade spiritual fruit that he had just collected?
But the one in front of him was a fifth-level monster, and the spiritual fruit he had collected was of little use to it. It was estimated that its target was not him, but the things that were being snatched over there.
“Just passing by, just passing by…” You Huang said as he stepped back: “I will leave right away and will definitely not touch your things.”
"Roar……"
The fifth-level monster roared, and sand and gravel flew everywhere.
Youhuang didn't care about anything else and turned around and ran as fast as he could, trying to keep as much distance as possible from the beast monster.
As for why he didn't enjoy flying with a sword, all I can say is that flying with a sword at high altitudes in the secret realm would make him a moving target like a conspicuous bag, and he would be besieged by flying monsters at any moment.
The immortal cultivators and demon cultivators who were originally fighting over a spiritual root suddenly glimpsed a figure passing by. Before they could figure out what was going on, they saw a fifth-level monster running towards them. They were so scared that they immediately stopped fighting and drew their swords at the monster.
As a result, the monster didn't even pause for a moment, let alone glance at them, and continued to run forward.
"Fuck, a fifth-level monster." Someone screamed, "Luckily it didn't notice us."
"It's not that it didn't notice us, but it just disdained to pay attention to us." Another immortal cultivator said thoughtfully: "I feel like I'm being despised by the monster."
"Is it because the person who just ran over is carrying a rare treasure that the fifth-level monster beast is too lazy to pay attention to us." The one who spoke was a casual cultivator in the foundation-building period. When the other cultivators heard this, their eyes lit up. Something that can attract a fifth-level monster beast must not be of extremely high quality.
Looking back at the spiritual root behind him, it was a medium-quality large cypress tree with many spiritual fruits on it, but unfortunately only a few of them were fully mature.
"That person must have some rare treasure on him. Let's go."
Several casual cultivators exchanged glances, immediately gave up the spiritual roots that were about to be obtained, and chased in the direction the monster ran.
The leader of the magic cultivator team secretly winked at a small leader, who immediately followed with several magic cultivators. Of course, the rare treasures could not be given to those independent cultivators.
Youhuang never dreamed that just because he was too lazy to fight, he would attract a group of monks to covet him.
With Nan Shiji's ten years of experience as a errand runner and his cultivation level at the Xudan stage, it was not known whether he failed to catch up with the fifth-order monster or he did not continue to chase it after it left its territory.
Holding onto a big tree, You Huang took deep breaths and thought to herself, "You bastard monster, if it weren't for my lack of strength, I would have drained your blood, peeled off your skin, dug out your monster core, and used your bones to make soup to strengthen my body."
Without a topographic map of the secret realm, Youhuang could only look at the surrounding environment while resting.
The branches are covered with green grass, and the red petals hang down.
Looking at the strangely red buds blooming on the hanging tentacles.
Youhuang cried out inwardly that something was wrong and quickly withdrew his hand from the tree. He didn't expect that there would be such a large number of blood-red beauties in the secret realm.
No wonder the beast demon didn’t dare to chase in, it turned out that they had come to this fun’s territory.
Looking up at the setting sun in the sky, Youhuang didn't think much and just lifted her skirt and ran quickly.
You must find an open place to spend the night before the sun sets, otherwise when the blood-red flowers bloom at night, you will become fertilizer for them.
Youhuang observed the ground while running and found many traces of people's footprints. Without thinking too much, he followed the footsteps of his predecessors and finally came to an open place when the sun set.
"Xue Zun dotes on that little girl so much, could she be his little lover?"
Just as You Huang was about to step forward, he heard a familiar voice. He immediately retracted his steps, turned around and started running, but bumped into a strong chest.
"Since you're already here, why leave?"
"It's over."
After hearing this voice, You Huang regretted not fighting with the fifth-level monster.
