After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Chapter 197 Questioning Me? Where Do You Rank? 1
Since her master wasn't there, she returned to her own place.

Once the inner demon felt safe, it questioned, "In the secret realm, did you really intend to feed me to that black fox?"

"Yes," she answered frankly. Between her life and her inner demons, she would choose life without hesitation!

There's a saying that goes, "Where there's life, there's hope." But if she's dead, everything else is meaningless.

“I am heartbroken! I have decided to stop practicing for a few days to soothe my wounded heart.”

Lin Yan sighed and comforted her, "I know I hurt you with what I said, but think about it, if you cultivate diligently, and my cultivation level rises to the Nascent Soul stage or even higher, would I be afraid of that demonic beast?"

After listening, it pondered: What they said makes perfect sense! It couldn't refute it itself.

Seeing its speechless and deflated expression, Lin Yan continued, "That's why you need to cultivate diligently! Once you're strong enough to walk sideways, why would you be afraid of demonic beasts?"

"..."

The inner demon felt that she was deceiving him, but he still resigned himself to his fate and began to cultivate.

It wasn't that it was successfully fooled, but rather that the black fox's oppressive aura was too strong, filling it with fear. Unchanging strength will eventually make one someone else's prey!

Lin Yan glanced at the white crocodile lying on its back asleep and suddenly asked, "Are you very knowledgeable?"

The white crocodile rolled its eyes: "What do you think?"

The tone of voice clearly indicates a negative answer.

She was too eager to know what that black fox was. She took out the jade disc and searched the square; it contained black cats, black bears, black horses…

After going around once, everything that could be black had turned black, but there wasn't a single black fox.

That demonic beast could easily separate the inner demon from her sea of ​​consciousness; its ability was extraordinary!

She sent a message to her master, describing the fox she encountered in the secret realm.

Not long after, her master replied, saying that he had never heard of such a demonic beast, and told her to focus on her cultivation and not worry about anything else, lest she do something thankless.

She put away the jade plate, filled the three little ones' storage bags with food and spirit stones, and then sat down in front of the spirit-gathering array to cultivate.

As she activated her frenzied absorption mode, the surrounding spiritual energy surged in like a flood.

Only by fully immersing oneself in cultivation can one experience the double pleasure of cultivation. The slight pain brought on by the sudden surge of spiritual energy into the meridians is intoxicating.

It's like having a scab on your wound. You know it will hurt terribly to peel off the scab, but your hand always involuntarily wants to pick it off.

When she opened her eyes again, two days had passed.

She stood up, feeling completely refreshed. The spirit sword then appeared and disappeared into the bracelet.

Lin Yan also entered the space through the bracelet.

A new batch of mystical herbs has grown, and even the red fruit trees are thriving. It seems this compost is doing quite well.

She hopes to attract more of those who can't beat her but still come looking for trouble, so that her space becomes fertile and she can try to grow higher-quality spiritual plants, thus providing her with materials for alchemy in the future.

At a glance, the spirit sword had already reached the cactus sprite. However, the sprite hadn't emerged; its true form was still planted in the soil.

She took out 30,000 high-grade spirit stones from her storage bag and piled them in front of the giant spirit stone, feeling a pang of heartache.

Almost every time I come here, I lose tens of thousands of spirit stones. I haven't had any income from participating in the Immortal Sect Competition lately, and if this continues, I'll be starving!

Fortunately, she sold a batch of monster corpses before coming to participate in the Immortal Sect Competition, so she had spirit stones to back her up; otherwise, she would have had to ask her master for permission to mine spirit mines.

Illusion arrays, spatial manipulation, transformation, replenishing spiritual energy… spirit stones are needed for everything. Even if she doesn't buy anything, spirit stones flow out like water. Thinking about this, she felt a headache coming on. It's true what they say about cultivating immortality—besides talent, you also need the resources behind you.

When Binglian saw her come in, she snorted coldly and said arrogantly, "There are still too few spiritual plants here. Bring in more cacti to grow."

"A cactus?" Lin Yan glanced at the Pokémon that had buried itself in its body, and pointed with a questioning look: "Something like this?"

"Otherwise, why bring in something that hasn't developed intelligence? Just to get in the way?"

"..."

She now understands why it didn't want the fish she had promised to keep in the pond. It turns out that Binglian couldn't stand living creatures that she couldn't communicate with and that were an eyesore.

I really can't find any extra spirits to keep it company right now.

It's no longer the time when every place was rich in spiritual energy.

I read in ancient books that before the Canghai Continent developed to this state, every place had extremely rich spiritual energy. As long as you had a spiritual root, you didn't need to deliberately guide the spiritual energy into your body; it would automatically squeeze into your body.

There were many elves back then, and some of them could even grow spirit plants.

However, as their spiritual energy dissipated, the elves gradually died out, and now they can no longer be seen.

The cactus spirit I brought back went through many hardships before we formed a contract. It wasn't in very good condition, otherwise I wouldn't have kept it in my space.

Inside the space, the rate at which spirit stones are consumed increases significantly...

"I'd like to, but I don't have one," Lin Yan said, shrugging.

"Hmph! Then you'd better get out of here, I need to rest."

"..."

She went to harvest the Xuan grass and picked the ripe Crimson Spirit Fruit, without lingering for even a moment.

Strictly speaking, the space doesn't belong to her. She's already doing quite well to be able to compost and grow things in it; it's probably not good that Ice Lotus has a bad temper.

Anyway, he posed no threat to her and didn't harm her. He's better than those who seem gentle and warm but secretly plot against her.

After coming out, she stuffed some of the mystic herbs into the Red Enchantress's storage bag and took out the other spiritual fruits inside.

She's been quite busy lately, and it's not harvest time for the Mystic Grass yet, so she always lets it eat it with other spiritual fruits, which is already quite unfair to it.

We changed its food as soon as it was harvested.

With one day left until the end of the secret realm trial, she changed the rabbit's food and then flew on her sword to the light screen at the entrance to check her score.

When they arrived, they saw that there were quite a few disciples present, but their expressions were not good, and some even looked a bit disheveled.

Wenya's eyes lit up when she saw her, and she ran to her side: "You're out?"

"Yes, it came out a couple of days ago."

Wenya thought she had been eliminated voluntarily today, and was slightly surprised to hear that the other person had been eliminated a couple of days ago.

On second thought, it's not surprising at all. Lin Yan is very strong; achieving that score by herself is already quite impressive. Two fists can't fight four hands, so her elimination is normal.

"It's a good thing you left the secret realm a couple of days ago, otherwise it would have been very dangerous for you to stay inside alone."

"Has something happened?"

Wen Ya sighed and said, "For some reason, a monster rampage suddenly broke out in the secret realm. The high-level monsters inside went berserk and attacked cultivators indiscriminately. Many disciples came out with missing limbs. If it weren't for the ability to actively eliminate themselves, many disciples would have perished inside."
