Rebuild the Xiuxian Family

Of course, in addition to the large number of jade slips, they also took those spiritual items.

However, Fu Chenguang was unwilling to take away the considerable number of spirit stones. Firstly, he no longer valued spirit stones with such thin spiritual energy, and secondly, they took up too much space, requiring him to make room later.

"Fellow Daoist, you don't want it?"

Only after confirming that he didn't want the spirit stones did Li Zhirui collect them all.

He himself doesn't need it, but he can use it to nurture spiritual creatures in his space! It'll save him some precious spirit crystals.

After they had put away the jade slips and spiritual items from their storage magic treasure, they seemed to notice the earth immortal who was bound to the side, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the gift, sir. We like it very much."

He had already closed his eyes, as if trying to avoid seeing it, but his heaving chest still betrayed his very unsettled state of mind.

Neither of them took it seriously.

"In another quarter of an hour, the restrictions on your body will be lifted, and the magic power in the vines will be exhausted. At that time, you will regain your freedom."

After saying that, Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang flew away, leaving him lying on the ground alone, looking very miserable and pitiful.

After a while, he tentatively opened his eyes slightly, and only after confirming that the two people had left did he open them fully. His face was terribly gloomy, and he exuded a sense of frustration, anger, and rage. His face was ferocious, like a beast ready to devour its prey.

"Damn it! Damn it! You two bastards! You'd better..."

But halfway through his sentence, he suddenly remembered that the two men had neither taken advantage of him nor used any tricks or schemes; they had defeated him entirely through their own strength.

And it wasn't two people working together, it was just one person!

In other words, in a direct confrontation, he would also be no match for them.

No matter how vicious or ruthless he speaks now, when it comes to actually taking action, he will still be the one who suffers.

Thinking about all this, his anger grew even stronger, but he was even more angry at himself for his own lack of ambition.

Once the restrictions within his body dissipated, the first thing he did was not to leave immediately, but to frantically destroy the surrounding environment, as if this would erase the humiliating experience he had just had.

……

Li Zhirui and Fu Chenguang, who had already flown far away, were naturally unaware of his actions. If they had known, they would have simply scoffed and not taken him seriously.

The two continued to explore the secret realm, searching for spiritual items. However, perhaps because they had obtained a great deal of spiritual items earlier, which had depleted their luck, they did not make any significant gains for a period of time afterward.

During this time, they encountered quite a few cultivators from this realm, but due to the limited number of Earth Immortals in the secret realm, coupled with their own insufficient strength, they were unable to overcome the challenges.

Therefore, when others encountered the two, they did not dare to make a move and instead chose to avoid them.

As a result, their experience was quite uneventful, with neither gains nor battles.

"Anyone who didn't know better would think we were on a trip, not training." As time went on, even Fu Chenguang couldn't help but complain.

Li Zhirui adapted well, saying in a calm tone, "The secret realm hasn't been open for very long yet, and everyone is busy searching for spiritual items. After a while, the secret realm will become lively."

"Fellow Daoist, you said that cultivators from forces like the Three Profound Sect are currently rushing around trying to be the first to seize the precious spiritual items in the secret realm, right?"

"Definitely, after all, they cultivate most of the spiritual creatures and know the location of those precious ones."

However, the few Earth Immortal-level spiritual items they obtained before were most likely naturally formed, since both the Heavenly Spirit Wisdom Fruit and the Myriad Radiant Spirit Flower were extremely precious spiritual items.

If they were to obtain the spirit seed, they would most likely not allow it to grow wildly, but would instead plant it in specially cultivated spirit fields and nurture it carefully.

Several more days passed, and the two still hadn't made much progress.

"Fellow Daoist, why don't we stop for a while, rest, and then reconsider the direction of our subsequent exploration?"

On this day, Fu Chenguang suddenly made a suggestion.

Li Zhirui thought about it and nodded in agreement.

He knew what the other person was thinking; they simply hoped for more and better results in the future, and he certainly hoped so too.

Having finally made it to the secret realm, who wouldn't want to obtain a large number of spiritual items?
However, this kind of thing is actually very simple in some ways, and very difficult in others.

The reason is simple: with their strength, as long as they don't provoke a large number of cultivators in this realm, other cultivator teams are no match for them. They can enrich and fill their storage treasures by plundering other cultivators.

The challenge is to remain unchanged, move randomly within the secret realm, and whatever you gain depends entirely on luck.

Li Zhirui personally prefers the latter, so there's no need to rush. However, it seems that Fu Chenguang is planning to change direction.

To be honest, if that were the case, he wouldn't feel any aversion. After all, he had experienced countless battles and killings in his life. Although he didn't like it, he didn't reject it either.

Moreover, since the two are currently in another world, in order to avoid getting too entangled in karma or being rejected by the Heavenly Dao, they are unlikely to kill cultivators from their own world.

Li Zhirui's attitude was one of indifference, but Fu Chenguang was caught in a dilemma. In his heart, he didn't really want to change anything.

However, considering that they have come to another world and are subject to the suppression and rejection of the Heavenly Dao of this world, there is always the risk of being exposed and falling into danger.

Moreover, although they entered the secret realm very easily, it was not actually that simple. It was because Li Zhirui had made a lot of efforts beforehand that they achieved their current result.

And barring any unforeseen circumstances, this will most likely be their first and last time entering the secret realm in the Myriad Rivers Realm.

Therefore, he still hopes to gain more so that their efforts and contributions won't be in vain.

Therefore, while Li Zhirui leisurely flipped through the jade slip he had obtained from the earth immortal, Fu Chenguang was filled with anxiety and hesitation, unable to make up his mind about what to do next.

When he looked up and saw the other person's relaxed and carefree appearance, he suddenly put aside all the chaotic thoughts in his mind.

Since his companion isn't dissatisfied with the status quo, why should he try to change it? Isn't it fine as it is?
Moreover, they are not in a hurry to leave the Myriad Rivers Realm. Even if they don't gain much in the secret realm, they may still obtain more spiritual items in the outside world in the future.

After figuring things out, Fu Chenguang stopped dwelling on these gains and losses, regained his former composure, and was no longer as anxious as before.

"Fellow Daoist, have you put aside those anxious thoughts in your heart?"

After Li Zhirui finished reading the jade slip in his hand, he looked up and saw that Fu Chenguang was exuding a calm aura. He immediately understood the other party's decision and said with a smile.

"I'm sorry to have made you laugh these past few days, fellow Daoist." He was somewhat embarrassed that, given his level of cultivation and temperament, he had hesitated for so many days over such a trivial matter.

"Fellow Daoist is thinking of both of us, there's no need to feel ashamed."

Although Li Zhirui has been immersed in ancient texts and jade slips these past few days, he actually knows everything; he just hasn't said anything. After all, some things must be figured out by oneself, and the persuasion of others is not necessarily very effective.

"It's fine if everything stays the same. Besides, we'll be staying in Wanhe Boundary for a long time, so there's no need to ruin our future operations because of this."

This is the main reason why Fu Chenguang has not changed his way of doing things.

They weren't robbers who came to pull off a quick heist and leave. Although they were called intruders, they were actually more like auditors who had come to study at another academy.

In that case, we should be even more careful about our behavior, lest we be disliked and hated by the Heavenly Way, and ultimately have to leave.

In the following days, the two did not rush to set off again to explore the secret realm, but instead used these days to rest and recuperate.

Only after their energy and spirit have fully recovered will they set off again.

This time, however, they were more at ease and their moods were no longer affected by trivial matters.

……

In a corner of the secret realm, a group of cultivators cautiously made their way towards a valley shrouded in mist.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, are there really any very precious spiritual items inside?" a cultivator asked somewhat uneasily.

“Look at the surrounding environment. This mist is all condensed spiritual energy. With such rich spiritual energy, how could there not be any precious spiritual items?” Wu Qing was also a little scared, but when he thought of spiritual items, he immediately calmed down.

Upon hearing this, the others suppressed their fear due to their longing for the spirit.

For rogue cultivators like them who come from humble backgrounds, opportunities are extremely important, and they will not easily back down even if they encounter dangers along the way.

After all, how could they possibly obtain enough cultivation resources to advance their cultivation if they didn't give it their all?
However, the situation they feared did not occur. The valley was quiet, but the fog became thicker the further they went, to the point where they could not see their own hands in front of their faces.

No one knows how far they have walked; they just feel like they are walking nonstop, as if they will never stop.

As for time, they seem to have lost all sense of it.

After an unknown amount of time, they finally passed through the thick fog and arrived at a clear, flat area in the valley.

In the middle of the flat land, there is a clear spring, and all around it grow a large number of precious spiritual creatures!

"Rehmannia fruit, Changrong root, Qingwei fruit..."

With each name uttered, the crowd's breathing quickened, their greed intensified, and their eyes glowed with a reddish light.

The reason for this phenomenon is that these spiritual objects are extremely precious and rare. If any one of them is taken out, it will be snatched up by everyone, and even celestial beings will get involved!

If a single spiritual plant is so precious, imagine how valuable it is to have dozens of spiritual plants of similar value right in front of them!
However, at this moment, they had been blinded by greed and completely forgot that the growth conditions for these precious spiritual creatures were extremely harsh.

Moreover, how could a seemingly ordinary flat area in a valley possibly nurture so many spiritual creatures?!

Not to mention that many of them are mutually exclusive and mutually restraining spirits.

puff-

Suddenly, a sword pierced flesh, and the sound of blood spurting out rang out.

"These spirit creatures are all mine!"

One of the cultivators had a crazed look on his face, and the large sword in his hand was dripping blood. The gushing blood splattered onto his body, making him look even more ferocious and terrifying.

The strong stench of blood filled the air, like a spark that instantly ignited everyone.

The next instant, several more cultivators suddenly collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

"You all deserve to die!"

"The spirit creatures are mine! They're all mine! You can't take them from me!"

"Die! Die!"

The remaining cultivators roared loudly, their eyes bloodshot, and attacked like wild beasts, completely forgetting that as cultivators, they could use supernatural powers and spells.

"Hahaha, they're all dead! All of them are dead! The spirit is mine!"

In a short while, all of the dozen or so cultivators fell to the ground and lost their lives, with only one lucky survivor.

But just as he lifted his foot to walk towards those spiritual objects, intending to take them into his possession, a tree root suddenly emerged from the ground.

Pfft!

The tree root pierced through his entire body from bottom to top.

"No! I can't die! I haven't obtained these spiritual treasures yet..."

This man never forgot those spirits until his death.

But after he fell to the ground, a mysterious wave swept by, and all the thriving and flourishing spiritual creatures disappeared.

It turns out that all of this was an illusion!
The culprit that wove these illusions and caused these cultivators to kill each other was none other than the inconspicuous little tree next to the clear spring.

At this moment, the illusion dissipated, and the ground suddenly trembled. Tiny vines broke through the soil, carrying the corpses of these cultivators to the clear spring.

In a short while, the once clear spring water was stained crimson with blood.

But soon, the bloodstains faded, and it returned to its original state.

At the same time, the sapling became even more lush and vibrant, as it absorbed all the essence of the flesh and blood, which became its nutrients.

If you walk a few more steps forward and come to the spring, you will be surprised to find that there are mountains of white bones in the spring. Countless cultivators have been bewitched by the illusion and lost their lives here!

The sapling grew quietly by the spring, looking quite ordinary and harmless like any other creature. However, the rapidly thickening fog in the valley indicated that it had not stopped its hunting.

A unique medicinal fragrance wafted from the valley, signaling the start of a new round of hunting!
Several cultivators who happened to be passing by noticed the peculiar fragrance as a gentle breeze blew in their faces.

"There is a high-level spiritual creature nearby!"

Everyone had the same thought, a hint of joy rising in their hearts, and they immediately began searching for the source of the fragrance. (End of Chapter)
