Chapter 21 Shangyuan Secret Realm
"Hey, your name is Lu Xihan, right?"
While tidying up the bed, Xiao Yiyi casually asked Lu Xihan.
The three roommates had all gone out, leaving only the two of them in the room.
Lu Xihan was lost in thought when she realized that someone had actually spoken to her.
"Yes."
"This time, everyone inside the sect is talking about you. Don't let me down with your performance in this secret realm."
Xiao Yiyi gave Lu Xihan a haughty look before leaving, leaving Lu Xihan alone.
Lu Xihan was a little confused by this seemingly random statement, but didn't pay much attention to it afterwards.
After finishing her meal, Liu Xingxing went out for a stroll with great enthusiasm.
"Hey, this talisman is good, I'll buy it."
"This weapon has a really unique design, I'll buy it!"
"This jerky is delicious, I'll buy some!"
Whenever she arrives in a new place, the novel things always make Liu Xingxing's desire to buy things surge. She wants to sweep everything up from one end of the street to the other to be satisfied. However, most of the time, reason prevails, and she stops buying a few useless things in time.
After a simple and uneventful day, the day of the opening of the Shangyuan Secret Realm finally arrived.
Outside the secret realm, people from various sects and factions were lined up, along with some independent cultivators. Magical artifacts and airships, shimmering with various magical halos, were scattered in every corner. There were all kinds of creatures, flying in the sky and crawling on the ground, making for a truly spectacular scene.
Sitting on a leaf-shaped magical artifact, Liu Xingxing, who was among the rogue cultivators, looked rather pathetic. Other rogue cultivators had high-quality mounts, while she was sitting on a tattered leaf.
However, that guy who tried to chat me up during the day hasn't made a move since last night. Could it be that he's planning to make a move in the secret realm?
No wonder, the situation in the secret realm is complicated, and a number of people are lost every time. Besides, she is a "rogue cultivator". Even if she dies, no one will know. At most, they will assume that she was killed by some monster. How would they know that it was done by human hands?
This also turned the secret realm into a large-scale private arena, where anyone with a grudge would inevitably meet their match and one of them would die.
However, the places they are teleported to are random. Could it be that the golden thread works even in the secret realm?
Liu Xingxing gave a sinister smile. If that were really the case, then she would have to change her return gift. So you like big monsters, huh? I'll grant your wish.
Although there were several thousand people present, there was not much noise. Everyone used magic to block out the sound, and they could not let outsiders know about their instructions to their own people.
Liu Xingxing endured a slightly boring period of time before finally hearing a loud "boom," followed by a "crack."
In a flash, the Shangyuan Secret Realm opened.
Disciples from each family rushed to leap into the secret realm.
Qian Cheng gave his final instructions: "Be careful in everything, and remember not to be greedy. Go now."
The ten people responded in unison with "Yes" and then leaped away.
Liu Xingxing seized the opportunity to quickly pass by Lu Xihan, and swiftly made a spell before entering the teleportation portal.
Because Liu Xingxing moved so fast, Lu Xihan didn't notice her at all, and didn't even see who she was.
……
After a brief period of discomfort and dizziness, Liu Xingxing slowly opened her eyes, only to be completely dumbfounded.
The secret realm is completely different from the Cloud Sea and the Sky Beyond the Head. Here, mountains, rivers, lakes, and seas, blue seas and blue skies, clear skies and white clouds, wind, frost, rain and snow are all present.
Liu Xingxing was in the middle of a woodland under a bright sun and with a gentle breeze, but it would have been better if there hadn't been a large pack of jackals and tigers nearby.
Why teleport to a bunch of fourth-tier demonic beasts' territory? It's a terrible choice.
That's right, the group of monsters in front of her were feasting on the remains of an unknown animal, and she just happened to be standing on that remains!
Both sides were a little confused by Liu Xingxing's appearance, and Liu Xingxing gave a slightly awkward smile.
"Roar!!!"
The monsters reacted quickly and attacked in a swarm, but Liu Xingxing leaped a short distance away and calmly released the little snake.
After half an incense stick
The corpses of monsters littered the ground, and all the monsters within a half-mile radius vanished upon seeing this scene.
"That's terrifying! That's terrifying!"
That guy is terrifying (T?T)!
The little snake hadn't had any meat in a long time, and now it had a full meal and was incredibly happy.
Liu Xingxing released her divine sense to sense where Lu Xihan was. She sensed a faint response coming from the southeast, and only then did Liu Xingxing feel relieved.
The secret realm will take about a month to open. In the novel, Lu Xihan only arrived at the northern snow mountain in the last few days, so there's no rush now.
That being the case...
"Treasures, I'm here, haha!"
Liu Xingxing's eyes lit up.
The little snake's hairs (scales) stood on end, and a chill ran down its spine; it seemed the plants and animals inside were about to suffer.
For the next two weeks, Liu Xingxing carried out a thorough search, heading north from the teleportation point, killing gods and catching ghosts wherever she went, plundering every passing goose, and even the small monsters that passed by had to be slapped twice before she would let them go, she was almost ready to roll up the ground and scrape it away.
The ring's space was suddenly filled with all sorts of random things.
Now, when Liu Xingxing walks down the main road, he doesn't see a single living creature. When the monsters see the two of them, one human and one snake, they all run as far away as possible, afraid that they might not even be able to keep their fur.
Liu Xingxing walked ahead listlessly, chewing on a blade of grass and resting her hands on her head. Her ordinary appearance made her look increasingly like a loser.
The little snake, now the size of a tree trunk, followed behind, its horns growing longer than before it entered the secret realm.
"Little snake, where are we going next?"
There are still several days left, and the sensations emanating from Lu Xihan are getting stronger and stronger. She will probably run into her soon, and then she will have to find a reason to follow her, but Liu Xingxing hasn't thought of a reason yet.
They've taken all the treasures they could from the secret realm and taught the people a lesson. A few days ago, Liu Xingxing threw He Zhang's golden thread into a lake inhabited by a group of man-eating sharks.
In the middle of the lake grows an Ice Lotus, a valuable treasure. If he's lucky, he might get his hands on it; if he's unlucky, he'll only be able to use it to heal his injuries. In that case, he'll lose both his money and his life and will just be standing in the middle of the lake waiting to be rescued.
Liu Xingxing was never one to be soft-hearted, and Liu Jun was even less so. Her style was to fight fire with fire. How could she let that boy get away with such a treasure as the Frost Lotus? The Frost Lotus in the lake was just an ordinary lotus flower created by magic.
Given Liu Xingxing's previous behavior, the little snake cautiously replied, "How about we go to the northwest? It's not too remote there."
The little snake also knew that Liu Xingxing was going north.
"also."
Liu Xingxing didn't have any specific purpose in mind. Anyway, there were still a few days left, so going there to loot again wouldn't take much time at all.
Without hesitation, Liu Xingxing headed towards the northwest of the secret realm, but she was forced to stop again before she had gone very far.
This time, by sheer coincidence, they stumbled upon a group of people hunting a fifth-tier demonic beast, the Flame Tiger.
These tiger-like monsters, covered in flames, generally do not attack humans unless they enter their territory or someone touches their things.
Sure enough, Liu Xingxing, hiding far away, saw from a distance a person holding what appeared to be a newborn Flame Tiger cub.
The giant fire tiger relentlessly attacked the man, but the surrounding people protected him, preventing the tiger from gaining any advantage. Judging from its wounds, it probably wouldn't be able to struggle for much longer.
The outcome of the hunt was already quite clear. Although those few had been injured, they still had the strength to fight. Yan Hu's situation was not so optimistic. Liu Xingxing squatted behind the bushes, watching the show while considering whether to take a different route or wait until they were finished before continuing.
After thinking it over, Liu Xingxing decided to squat down and rest for a while longer. For the past half month, she had been working day and night for the treasure and had hardly rested. Although she didn't need to rest, she was still feeling very uncomfortable after a while, just like someone who had stopped eating but still kept thinking about what to eat.
Liu Xingxing sat down cross-legged to regulate her internal energy. Seeing this, the little snake quietly coiled up beside her and continued watching the show.
Although Yanhu is currently at a disadvantage, its strength should not be underestimated, and the spiritual power of the Yuling Sect members has been greatly depleted.
Yu Jiaojiao, who was carrying Yan Hu's cub, was protected by several people and was not injured.
Adult fire tigers are hard to tame, and she finally caught a cub, so how could she give it up so easily? In the past, her fellow disciples in the sect doted on her the most, so it's nothing to suffer a little injury this time.
Seeing that two of them were about to give up, Yu Jiaojiao immediately said in a sweet voice, "Senior Brother Pang and Senior Brother Li, look, this beast is about to die. If we all go together, we can definitely take it down. We can't give up now. Senior brothers are so powerful, we can definitely do it."
Since their junior sister has spoken, they have no choice but to comply. There's nothing they can't get if their junior sister wants it.
The group charged forward, unleashing a barrage of magical weapons. The Flame Tiger managed to block several attacks but ultimately succumbed to its power. In the end, Li Sheng swiftly struck down the Flame Tiger with his blade, thus concluding the duel.
