Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 25 Returning with a Full Load
Yun Yi finally breathed a sigh of relief. The creatures in the Feitian Secret Realm were all nice to him, and he really didn't want to do evil with them.

He asked curiously, "What if I had really wanted to kill him and crushed those two beads? Would I have died?"

The monkey boss shook his head: "No, you and the girl in red will be teleported out directly."

"You'll actually spare my life?"

"Nangong Feitian once said that cultivators are born greedy, otherwise they wouldn't embark on the path of cultivation. Therefore, greed is not a sin, and it is human nature to be unable to control desires. If you are too greedy, it is not a capital crime, so I will not kill you, but you can forget about gaining more benefits from the secret realm."

Yun Yi got a little excited when he heard this, "Senior, are you saying that there are other benefits for me if I pass the trial?"

The monkey boss looked a little reluctant: "It's hard to say whether it's a blessing or a curse. Your cultivation is too low now. I'm really a little worried."

Zhi Lao Er was nonchalant: "Just give it to him. I'll wait until he gets out and see if he lives or dies."

Tao Sanniang excitedly moved closer to Zhuque. She was so fond of the scattered decorations on the woman in red that she couldn't help but fiddle with them. She couldn't wait to say, "The best thing is that I will leave with you, and you have to take good care of me."

Monkey Boss glanced at Tao Sanniang with dissatisfaction and explained, "What I told you before wasn't entirely false. This Feitian Secret Realm was indeed built by Nangong Feitian. He committed suicide because he felt life was meaningless. The avenue he cultivated was originally 'natural,' so he ultimately decided to disperse all his cultivation and return it to nature."

"I was originally an ordinary monkey in the mountains. I got a benefit and learned his sword skills. Zhi Lao Er is a nine-treasure Ganoderma lucidum. I got a benefit and became the master of all herbs in the medicine garden.

"As for Tao Sanniang's background, I didn't lie to you. She is indeed Nangong's daughter, although she only has one soul and one spirit... Her real name is Nangong Zhuozhuo. She has long been tired of staying here. I want you to take her away and take good care of her for us."

It was rare to hear Monkey Boss speak so many words in one breath, and Yun Yi suddenly understood. He asked, "So you set up this trap to test my character, and also to see if I can take good care of Tao Sanniang... Miss Zhuozhuo?"

"That's right. She's a thousand-year-old peach blossom spirit with a pure and innocent nature. I'm worried about her wandering around alone."

"You feel relieved to entrust me with a Qi Refining Realm?"

"You are very cunning, but your cultivation is a little low. But Sanniang is in the Spiritual Transformation Realm. As long as you keep an eye on her and prevent her from being deceived, she will always be able to protect herself."

Nangong Zhuozhuo said dissatisfiedly: "Don't make me sound like a fool!"

Yun Yi laughed and said, "Why do I feel that this is not a benefit, but a big trouble?"

The monkey boss agreed and said, "I will also give you Fang Yuan. This is Nangong Feitian's favorite magic weapon. I hope you won't let it get into obscurity."

After saying that, Monkey threw the Fangyuan Sword to Yun Yi, who barely caught it.

Yun Yi said, "If I wasn't at the Qi Refining stage, I would have been crushed to death."

The monkey boss really enjoyed the pleasure of torturing his apprentice and chuckled, "That's why I want you to carry it on your back. It's like you're using the Stone Steps to practice cultivation every moment. It's a hundred benefits with no harm at all."

Yun Yi followed his instructions and put the extremely heavy Fangyuan Sword on his back. "Thank you, Monkey Sword Immortal."

After that, Zhi Lao Er threw another ring over. Yun Yi took it and knew what it was without even looking.

It is a must-have treasure for those who practice cultivation, the Sumeru Ring that can accommodate all things.

Zhuque looked at it with envy. As a person in the Spirit Transformation Realm, she still didn't have a Sumeru Ring of her own. This showed the value of this kind of space magic weapon in the world of cultivation.

If it is sold at Tianyuan Chamber of Commerce, it will cost at least 10,000 spirit stones, and there is no demand for it.

More importantly, when Yun Yi took the ring and looked at it, he found that there was quite a lot of space inside, and it was already filled with many medicinal herbs, which were extremely old. It was obvious that they were the good things that Zhi Lao Er had carefully cultivated over the years.

Yun Yi was inexplicably moved and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Zhi Lao Er.

It said, "Just consider it a favor for you helping to take care of Sanniang. It's a pity that I don't know how to make pills, otherwise the treasures inside would be more useful to you. Please don't waste them all on me." Yun Yi clasped his fists and saluted, "I will definitely cherish them."

After saying that, he put the purple gold gourd and the bamboo tube containing the Heart-Shaping Gu into the Xumi Ring. In the world of cultivation, one should not show off one's wealth. If one carries a magic weapon on his body every day, it may attract the covetousness of others.

Yun Yi put the Sumeru Ring on the index finger of his left hand and used his mind to transform it into an inconspicuous silver ring.

Seeing this, the Monkey Boss said, "Well, this is all I can give you. It's a pity that you are not destined to be with Nangong's Dao and cannot comprehend his 'natural' Dao. Otherwise, you could get more benefits."

"I am already satisfied with these."

"You haven't yet fully mastered the Fangyuan Sword Intentions and the White Ape Sword Technique, so you must not slack off in your sword training. Furthermore, the Fangyuan Sword in your hand isn't its original form. Whether you can bring its true form back to light depends on your own luck."

"I remember."

After that, Monkey Boss and Zhi Lao Er looked depressed. He then reminded Nangong Zhuozhuo: "When you get tired of playing, remember to come back and visit."

The two stone lions echoed, "Yes, you must come back to see us."

Nangong Zhuozhuo also rarely put away his playful temper, with a sad face: "Or I'd better not go out and stay here with you."

Zhi Lao Er's face turned serious: "Nonsense, do you think this is a place where you can leave or stay as you please?"

"You're scolding me again!"

"Hmph, hurry up and leave, or you'll stop clamoring to go out every day."

Zhi Lao Er puffed his beard and glared, but was secretly wiping away tears when he turned and left.

The monkey boss couldn't help but take a sip of wine and sighed, "Go, go, our fate here is over, what's the point of staying here?"

The next moment, although the Monkey Sword Immortal had no sword in his hand, his fingertips contained terrifying sword intent, and with a casual stroke of his hand, he created a space crack.

Yun Yi felt a little sad when he left, and finally bowed respectfully.

The monkey boss said casually: "Remember to find some good wine when you go out, and treat me well next time we meet!"

Yun Yi promised: "Definitely!"

The man and the monkey smiled at each other, and finally the sadness of parting was diluted.

Zhuque and Nangong Zhuozhuo followed closely behind Yun Yi and left together. As for his good brother Baishatuo, he was left in the secret realm by Yun Yi. Now that he was in the Qi Refining Realm, walking in the desert was not a problem. Moreover, he had the Xumi Ring on his way back, so he didn't need a spirit beast to pull him.

Yun Yi gently stroked the ring on his finger, feeling a sense of unreality. In his previous life, Gong Che had taken advantage of the Feitian Secret Realm, but it was unknown whether he had obtained this Xumi Ring.

Moreover, there has never been a stunning girl like Nangong Zhuozhuo by his side, otherwise he would not have returned to Crescent City and participated in the martial arts competition for the city lord's daughter.

From this, it seems that Gong Che may not have passed the second test, so Boss Monkey did not want to entrust Nangong Zhuozhuo to him, and many opportunities were missed.

Thinking of Nangong Zhuozhuo, Yun Yi actually had a headache. He always felt that his "romantic luck" was particularly strong after his rebirth. Song Xinci, that rotten peach blossom, was not worth mentioning. How come Zhuque also had a close relationship with him? Now there was another peach blossom spirit, Nangong Zhuozhuo.

Please, having too many women will hinder your practice.
