Chapter 1214 The Shortest Distance
As soon as Lin Fan came back to his senses, he felt several familiar auras around him.

She blinked her dry eyes and felt her body become a little cold and stiff. She exerted force and stood up.

Mu Jingjing supported her from the side: "Are you okay?"

Lin Fan shook her head, but found that her neck could not move. The unusual light on her face made her quickly notice her hands - the gold was gradually fading to her cuffs.

She finally understood why her body was so inflexible. If it weren't for the wrong color, she would have thought she had appeared in the form of a star.

"Dangdang" sounds were heard twice, and the hands knocking against each other made a crisp metallic knocking sound.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Fan asked puzzledly.

Shen Xiuyuan had already supported Lin Fan's other arm: "Sit down first, sit down first. You must have been exhausted, can your body still bear it?"

While supporting him, one hand was already on Lin Fan's wrist.

"Yes, yes, yes, sit down and talk." Mu Jingjing said with a smile, "Senior Brother Yu said that it was a protective layer of golden spiritual energy that appeared when your body was unconscious for self-protection, similar to the golden bell cover. It will automatically retreat when you wake up. I was worried when you didn't wake up before, but now I am finally relieved."

"I'm sorry to have worried everyone." Lin Fan turned his head again and found that his neck could move and his fingertips had regained elasticity.

"Huh!" Du Xingyu waved his hands slightly stiffly, "What are you talking about? Is it abnormal to worry? I just hope you're safe."

"How dare you say that?" Shen Xiuyuan rolled his eyes at Du Xingyu, and only after Lin Fan sat down did he start to settle accounts with the two of them.

"You two! Each one is more daring than the other!" Shen Xiuyuan paced back and forth with his arms folded across his chest, completely losing his previous slow-tempered and nice persona. "What realm are you two at? How dare you use your spirit to explore the way?! You are lucky to have returned intact. If you were unlucky... how would you let me explain to your master? I, the team leader..."

"Brother, I was wrong!" Du Xingyu didn't like to hear Shen Xiuyuan's nagging, so he twisted his butt and hugged Shen Xiuyuan's legs directly, "I was wrong, I didn't think it through, I won't dare to do it again! Please forgive me this time, Brother~"

The macho man acted like a spoiled child, and Shen Xiuyuan got goosebumps all over his body, and he quickly pushed Du Xingyu away.

Lin Fan then realized what Du Xingyu had done, and how dangerous his previous behavior was.

"It's my fault." Lin Fan admitted his mistake sincerely.

Shen Xiuyuan was being amused by Du Xingyu and had no time to teach him a lesson. Suddenly, he heard Lin Fan's serious words. He turned around, looked at her face, and could not bring himself to say any words of blame.

"Forget it," Shen Xiuyuan sighed, "I just hope that you will think twice before doing anything in the future, put your own safety first, and don't act impulsively for the sake of momentary loyalty. Don't forget, we are a team!"

Du Xingyu stopped joking and nodded his head with Lin Fan.

Although Shen Xiuyuan could not feel any problem with Lin Fan's pulse, considering how long she had been kneeling and how stiff she was when she got up, he guessed that she must have consumed a lot of energy. After scolding her, he quickly handed Lin Fan the food that had been warmed by the fire.

Lin Fan's skin looked normal. But it was the first time that he had consumed so much energy without using a mecha, so he felt a lingering chill in his body. After the hot food entered his mouth, his body was warmed up little by little, and he felt comfortable.

During this period, Jintong had been taking good care of her and never mentioned anything about what had happened before.

"I found the secret realm." Lin Fan opened his mouth and immediately delivered a critical hit.

"Where, where?" Du Xingyu's eyes lit up and he rushed forward. "Is it far? Is it easy to walk?"

"Not close." Lin Fan replied, "It's below the gap where the Taixu Palace is stationed. If you calculate the straight-line distance, there are about three stone wall entrances as far as here."

"Wow~" Du Xingyu exclaimed, "It doesn't sound that far..."

"She's talking about the straight-line distance," Yu Sinian reminded him, "If the roads here are all like the ones we've walked, it would probably take more than a month to get there."

"So what?" Du Xingyu rolled his eyes. "Looking for something with a purpose is no different from running around like a headless fly. If you really can't talk, you can just shut up. Why do you like to pour cold water on others so much?"

"You actually went that far down?" Mu Jingjing turned to look at Du Xingyu who was bickering with Yu Sinian. "Senior Brother Du also had his spirit leave his body, but he was not as good as you. He didn't find any clues..."

“Ahem…” Du Xingyu immediately left Yu Sinian behind and defended himself, “Jingjing, don’t be so mean! How can I compare with Lin Fan? Lin Fan is…”

As soon as Shen Xiuyuan cleared his throat, Du Xingyu immediately changed his words. "...Lin Fan is recognized as having good luck. How can I compare with her? I was looking in the wrong direction from the beginning. Jingjing, please give me some face."

When Mu Jingjing saw Jin Tong's expression of sudden realization, she finally remembered that she still had to be on guard against this guy, and she felt tired.

But soon, he cheered up again.

"What's in that secret realm?" Mu Jingjing asked curiously.

"It's not clear yet." Lin Fan roughly recounted what he saw. "There was a formation blocking the way, so I could only detect a large space at the back. It looked to be of a high level, stronger than the Crystal Palace. I didn't dare to go deeper. So I don't know what's inside."

"You are right." Shen Xiuyuan affirmed, "It is too risky to rashly explore the formation with your spirit. Now that we have found the location, it is safer to go there with your body. There is no need to rush."

Lin Fan nodded: "The only place I can find that seems to be a secret place is that one, and the earth spirit energy is going to the formation. Should we go there?"

"Let's go!" Du Xingyu jumped up from his seat, "Of course we'll go! Didn't we come here just for that secret place? Now that we've found it, why not go?"

"Is it too far? Is it difficult to walk?" Shen Xiuyuan asked.

"The corridors in the mountains are too dense. If we follow the corridors..." Lin Fan thought of the densely packed and confusing routes, shook his head, and directly rejected this idea, "Let's take the shortest way and go directly."

"The shortest way?" Mu Jingjing's eyes flickered in disbelief. "You haven't memorized all the ways you've seen, have you?"

"Pretty much." Lin Fan nodded. "But the path I'm talking about is not this kind of corridor, but..."

"You want to find a way out of the secret realm." Yu Sinian continued.

"Can it work?" Mu Jingjing asked, "It's not that I don't believe you, it's just that this mountain wall is too hard. I tried several times but couldn't get hurt at all."

"Let's give it a try." Lin Fan stood up. "Since there are these tunnels and cracks can form outside, it means that this rock is not unbreakable."

Lin Fan walked to a nearby place, holding the Qingyin Sword, and mobilized his spiritual power to activate the sword technique and strike downward.

The hard rock splashed up a lot of gravel, forming a small hole the size of a fist on the ground.

"Sure!" Mu Jingjing clapped her hands excitedly, but then became a little discouraged, "So it's because I'm not strong enough, or my kung fu isn't good enough?"

"Although," Du Xingyu walked over with his chin lowered, "This pit is too small. With this method of opening it, it will be difficult to reach the next passage, let alone the secret realm, right?"

"Junior sister, try to wrap the sword with wood spirit power," Yu Sinian also came to Lin Fan and reminded him, "Wood overcomes earth."

Lin Fan followed his instructions and poked it, and a huge hole one person deep appeared.

"Okay!" Mu Jingjing applauded.

"It's still the same question," Du Xingyu sighed, "Can Lin Fan's spiritual energy last until all the channels are opened? Or even if they are opened, she won't have much spiritual energy left, so it's not worth it."

The words were rough but the truth was true. Lin Fan must have consumed a lot of her soul exploring the way before, and she hadn't replenished it yet. If she used up all of it to open up a path for them, then she would definitely be at a disadvantage when entering the secret realm!

Before they could come up with a solution, they saw Lin Fan put away the Qingyin Sword and replaced it with a weapon of a strange shape.

It didn't look like a sword, as the blade was not strip-shaped but a sharp triangle, wider, thicker, and shorter than an ordinary sword. There were obvious straight line marks on the blade, and the hilt was longer than an ordinary handle, almost as long as Lin Fan's entire arm.

"This is..." Before Du Xingyu could even say "what weapon?", he saw Lin Fan lower the big end of the weapon and gently put it on the ground without using any strength.

The hard rock seemed to suddenly turn into tofu, and the tip of the strange weapon silently sank into it with more than a palm's length.

Lin Fan suddenly pressed down the long sword in her hand, and the blade easily pierced into the soft ground. She quickly twisted the hilt of the sword, turned her wrist, and suddenly lifted it up.

In an instant, flying sand and rocks swirled around her, dust flew, and gravel splashed everywhere. As a result of her actions, a deep hole was actually dug out on the hard corridor surface, blocking the road ahead.
