The Shen family is temporarily residing in a small house in the west of Canghai City.

Shen Zhang rushed back to the residence with a worried expression. "What should we do? Qingqing has been captured by that old bastard, the sect leader of the Qingyun Sect. They suspect Qingqing of colluding with the demons..."

Inside the Shen family residence lived a man completely shrouded in black robes, who was currently looking at the Grand Competition's memorial stone, his face grim: "This Yun hope? Just what is her background?"

"I heard it was brought back by Cheng Jiangui."

Shen Zhang was so anxious he was wringing his hands. At this moment, he didn't care about Yun Xi anymore. "Several powerful families are contacting me to cancel the deposit for the prosthetic leg. If this matter escalates further, I'm afraid the Shen family will be in danger!"

Shen Zhang bowed and scraped before the man in black robes, pleading, "Master, you are more capable and experienced, could you please help us?"

The man in black robes was the artifact cultivator that Shen Qingqing had brought home.

Shen Zhang had never seen his true face, nor did he even know the other's cultivation level. He only knew that this person was mysterious and unpredictable, and indeed possessed great abilities.

The man in black robes held a string of prayer beads made of bone.

He gently turned the prayer beads, and after a long while, he slowly spoke, saying, "Return all the deposits."

"But..." Shen Zhang hesitated.

The man in black robes continued, "Furthermore, news has spread that, starting today, the Shen family can make prosthetics for all the major families and sects free of charge."

"???"

Shen Zhang was already reluctant to give up those benefits, and now, upon hearing this strange order, he was even more confused and bewildered.

"Free? But what's the point of that?"

The man in black robes stood up, and the prayer beads in his hand made a strange sound.

His voice was somewhat ethereal, yet resolute: "Just do as I say."

Suddenly, Shen Zhang's eyes darkened.

After several seconds, Shen Zhang bowed respectfully, his voice devoid of emotion: "Yes!"

The man in black robes looked towards the door.

The night is cool, but the common people are shrouded in dust.

……

……

"I heard that the second competition has an additional test of character compared to the previous ones."

This decision was made jointly by the Fenglei Sect Master, who stayed behind to oversee the overall situation, and several other sect elders. Everyone shared the same sentiment: they didn't want a second Shen Qingqing to appear among these participating disciples.

When the news was received, the first competition had already ended. Those Yuntian Sect sword cultivators who had entered the inheritance were instantly cleared out after leaving the inheritance, and the points were still given to Song Heming.

Based on the points everyone had before leaving and their performance in the secret realm, the sects were ranked in a simple way.

First place: Wind and Thunder Sect.

Second place: Lingxiao Sect.

Third place: Yuntian Sect.

Fourth place: Qingyun Sect.

……

Yunxi sprawled out on the floor of the room, her body spread out in a starfish shape, with a few books scattered around her.

The girl, clearly somewhat resigned, slowly remarked, "We're second!"

Qi Jue, lying beside him, sighed with a hint of regret: "If I had known that sending me out would get me all the points, I would have killed myself."

The little stone monster nudged him, bewildered.

Suddenly, the boy mysteriously summoned everyone over and whispered, "I've made a pact with the little stone monster, so I can still go into that secret realm."

However, there are limitations. With the little stone monster's current abilities, he can only go in once every six months at most, and right now the stone monster can only bring Qi Jue in.

The rare and precious materials in the secret realm, as well as the remaining inheritance, naturally belong to Qi Jue personally.

Yunxi's forehead lit up with excitement, and she exclaimed, "That's a pretty good skill!"

"From now on, whenever your third senior brother kicks you, you can just hide in the secret realm!"

Nightfall: "???"

Of course, this skill is definitely not used when he is kicked by Nightshade, but when the boy is in danger, he can hide in the secret realm, which is equivalent to saving his life once every six months.

After forming a contract with Tun Tun, Yun hope also gained a divine beast space, but only her consciousness could enter; she couldn't physically enter.

In comparison, although Qi Jue's secret realm does not have as abundant spiritual energy as the divine beast space, it is much more practical.

Qi Jue stroked his chin, quite pleased, and excitedly said, "Once I break through to the Nascent Soul stage, the little stone monster can send in a few more people. Then I'll take you all in to scavenge for junk!"

The little girl rolled chubby to his side and gave him a high five: "It's settled then!"

Although they didn't get first place in the grand competition, Lingxiao Sect's gains were definitely better than those of the other sects.

Ye Jin, expressionless, tapped Qi Jue on the forehead, trying to turn the already dim-witted boy into a little idiot.

Xie Mo sat quietly to the side, and upon seeing this, she smiled lightly.

The token suddenly began to vibrate wildly at that moment.

Several people looked over at the same time, only to see him click on the message at the top.

It was issued by the Second Elder who stayed behind at the sect.

The Second Elder asked: "Many prominent families are now coming to cancel their deposits for prosthetic limbs. What should we do?"

"???"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment.

The second elder shared the information he had gathered with them.

The Shen family not only offered to make the prosthesis for free, but also shortened the production time to just seven days.

There's a sudden surge in demand for prosthetics on the market, and many people are coming to us for help.

"What kind of prosthetic limb? It can be made in seven days?" Yunxi asked curiously, nudging closer.

There is no successful case yet, and they don't know what happened.

Xie Mo summarized the information and asked, "The Second Elder asked if we should get our deposit refunded for the prosthetics?"

"Just return it~" the girl said indifferently.

She stretched and said, "I didn't really want to do so much anyway~"

The girl's initial goal was simply to help Su Yuanshuang cover up the popularity of the Witch Spirit Clan.

Now that the Witch Spirit Clan has been exonerated, there's no point in her continuing to cover it up. Yunxi felt it was good that someone came out to help her reduce her workload.

Su Yuanshuang raised her head slightly.

A child rolling around on the ground rolled from Xie Mo's side to her feet and happily hugged her leg.

She was momentarily dazed, then quietly reached out and pinched the little green sprout on the top of her head.

So cute~

Xie Mo replied to the Second Elder.

A brief silence fell over the room.

Shen Qingqing had just been suspected of being a demon, and then the Shen family released this news. Something felt off, but she didn't know how to put it.

Yunxi touched her chin and said, "Making a prosthesis isn't actually that easy..."

She was quite curious and wanted to steal the Shen family's prosthetic limb to study it.

The silly Qi Jue immediately dropped a bombshell: "Why steal it? They're making it for free, aren't they? Let's go find them and make one!"

Ye Jin pursed his lips and calmly stated the truth: "The Shen family probably won't make us prosthetics, will they?"

"We're not disabled!"

No disability!

Disability!

The little girl's mind lit up, and she instantly looked pitiful, giving a starry-eyed look to a Sherming.

Xie Mo: "..."
