I started by controlling his master, and the protagonist begged me to slow down my kicking.

As the name suggests, the Nascent Soul Pill is one of the main materials for cultivators who want to enter the Nascent Soul realm.

How rare is this thing?

In the Holy Land, to obtain this thing, having spirit stones alone is not enough; one must also have status.

You are not a personal disciple of any elder or peak master...

Then don't even think about it!

but......

Even such rare items are classified into different grades.

The stronger the medicinal catalyst used in the refining process, the greater the boost it will provide to a cultivator after breaking through to the Nascent Soul Realm!

And these two Nascent Soul Pills right in front of us!

With such cool special effects, it's clearly not an ordinary Nascent Soul Pill!

Cheng Ran conservatively estimated that it would be at least a top-grade Nascent Soul Pill...

This Nascent Soul Pill can make the Nascent Soul stronger from birth, communicate more smoothly with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and may even contain a trace of the laws of heaven and earth!

That's incredibly awesome!

only......

Cheng Ran couldn't understand why there would be Nascent Soul Pills here.

No matter how generous the rewards in the sacred realm, there will never be any readily available Nascent Soul Pills...

Mu Yunxi was also slightly stunned when she saw this.

She looked at Cheng Ran and asked, "What's the deal with these two Nascent Soul Pills... Were they here before?"

"no."

Cheng Ran shook his head.

He was certain that the thing wasn't there.

After all, if he had been here before, he would have picked it up by pressing E long ago.

"Why is that...?"

Mu Yunxi lowered her peach blossom eyes, pondered for a moment, and then whispered:

"Could it be from these demons...?"

However, before Mu Yunxi could finish speaking...

Cheng Ran suddenly patted her buttocks and made a "shh" gesture.

Then, with a flicker of his figure, he appeared in front of the two Nascent Soul Pills.

Who cares whose it is!

This awesome thing is right in front of us, and nobody claims it...

That's mine!

Amidst the slightly puzzled gazes of Mu Yunxi and the others, Cheng Ran waved his sleeve, causing the two pills to transform into streams of light and steadily fall into his storage ring.

He then cleared his throat, looked around, and said with a stern expression:

"Cough cough..."

"Everyone, Senior Sister Mu said that these two items, which are suspected to be Nascent Soul Pills, are suspicious and might cause some kind of trouble if they are left outside."

"Therefore, to ensure everyone's safety, I will temporarily keep these two items."

......

......

at the same time.

Outside the ancient temple, on a cliff.

The little human emperor rested her chin on her hand, dangling her short legs, her big eyes gazing at the ancient temple below the mountain.

But her little mouth was muttering to herself:

"What a despicable villain!"

"Lustful, wicked, and shameless!"

"Even if you beat my ass to a pulp next time, I still won't guard your door for you!"

The more she talked, the redder her face became.

In the end, she became so famous that she almost caught up with the time when she secretly watched Cheng Ran and Mu Yunxi cultivate together!

but.

Just then.

A clear, elegant, mature female voice suddenly came from behind:

"I have already dispelled the formation... These young men will be teleported out of the secret realm shortly."

"Okay, that's good."

The loli queen glanced back at her oversized version of herself, then said angrily:

"These demonic beasts dare to bully the weak and attack the young of our holy land! They are utterly shameless!"

The mature and elegant immortal walked indifferently to her side:

"At least, the young man you mentioned managed to deal with all those demons... that's already a stroke of luck."

"Hmph, it would be best if he got taken care of too."

The loli human emperor tossed her long hair unhappily and bounced to her feet.

Her bright, sparkling eyes flickered for a moment, and then a misty, ethereal fog appeared before her.

She glanced one last time at the ancient temple below the mountain, then raised her head and said:

"Let's go, let's go back to the Upper Realm."

"When I get back, I'll tell her that if anything happens in the mortal realm from now on, you'll be in charge of handling it."

"I'm definitely not coming back!"

The mature and elegant immortal showed no change in expression upon hearing this, only nodding slightly:

"It's alright, we are one."

However, just as the two were about to enter the celestial mist...

She suddenly asked another question:

"When I went to break the formation just now... you seemed to have gone into that temple."

"What did you do?"

"I..."

The loli human emperor froze in place for a moment.

After stammering for a long time, he suddenly accelerated and rushed into the celestial mist:

"Mind your own business!"

......

......

The Primordial Holy Land, the Trial Square.

attic.

The elders and peak masters of the holy land gathered here, all with solemn expressions.

In the plaza, hundreds of cultivators skilled in formations sat around the crimson teleportation gate, their eyes closed, attempting to break through the several golden dragon formations.

Of course, failure was inevitable.

The ancient demon lord's formation left even Lu Shixue and Gong Yueli helpless.

What tricks can these little Karamis possibly have up their sleeves?

"Palace Master."

A cultivator from a holy land approached Lu Shixue, bowed deeply, and said:

"Still no progress..."

"Yes, you may leave."

Lu Shixue nodded slightly, but her expression behind the veil was extremely solemn.

Six hours have passed since the portal first appeared, yet the outside world still cannot see what is happening inside the secret realm.

Therefore, they had no way of knowing what was happening in the secret realm.

In many ways, the Golden Dragon Formation is difficult to break through from the outside but easy to break through from the inside. If the formation's core is found in the secret realm, the restrictions can be lifted.

But to put it bluntly...

Several of the inner disciples of this generation of the Holy Land possess exceptional talent.

Especially Mu Yunxi...

And that beast...

Lu Shixue lowered her beautiful eyes, her chest tight with emotion.

After pondering for a while, he turned his gaze to Gong Yueli and calmly said:

"Yue Li, after some time, I will go to the Northern Border with you."

"No need, Sister Lu can stay in the Holy Land."

Gong Yueli's voice was icy cold, as cold as the Zhen Tian Sword in her arms, which was filled with murderous intent.

She leaned against the railing, gazing intently northward.

"I alone am enough."

Both of them knew perfectly well who was responsible for sealing off this secret realm.

They were the demons of the northern border.

Or rather, it is that being who is suspected to be the supreme being among the demon race.

But it doesn't matter...

Whether it's the demon race or the Yin-Yang Sect, they are humiliating these two peak Mahayana realm cultivators in this way.

This is the second time we've met.

Both of them have made their decisions.

Looking at this unbreakable Golden Dragon Formation today, I felt utterly helpless...

We must make that demon supreme pay a hundredfold!

The long silence passed.

Gong Yueli remained expressionless, flicked her sleeve, and stood up:

"I will go first..."

However, the sentence was only half-finished.

Suddenly, a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanated from the distant trial plaza.

This is......

Gong Yueli suddenly realized something was wrong.

After exchanging a glance with Lu Shixue for a moment.

The two turned around at the same time and looked down at the square below the stage.

The blood-red portal turned back to azure blue.

Meanwhile.

Countless figures emerged from the teleportation portal.

Some were helping each other up, some were still in shock, and oh, there was even a man in black robes with his bare buttocks exposed...

Without exception!

They are all inner disciples who have entered the sacred secret realm!

Gong Yueli's gaze trembled.

For a moment, I could hardly believe what I was seeing.

This unusual movement was also noticed by the other elders and peak masters within the pavilion.

They were even more astonished upon seeing this group of disciples from the holy land:

"What?!"

"They're back?"

The elders and peak masters were completely dumbfounded.

They all believed that this incident in the Holy Land would cause a great disaster to the Holy Land!

But now it seems that it was a close call.

only......

After a brief respite.

Everyone thought of the same question.

There is no doubt that the Golden Dragon Formation was breached from the inside.

In other words, someone among the disciples of the Holy Land who entered the secret realm thwarted the demon race's conspiracy!

"Who is that person?!"

Immediately, the crowd began to discuss the matter.

The peak masters guessed it was their own disciples, some elders guessed it was Mu Yunxi, who was ranked first on the Azure Cloud Ranking, and some elders believed that it was the work of disciples in the secret realm.

Just now.

"Yue Li, look."

"Um."

The two beauties' faces changed color.

Suddenly, several lines of large characters appeared in the air above the square.

That's the ranking for this trial!

Everyone looked up from below.

But when they saw the name of the first place winner, everyone present had their pupils shrink in shock!

"Xu Kun, ranked 100th, scored 4396 points."

"Ninth place: Shenhe, 4889 points"

......

"Second place: Mu Yunxi, 18931 points"

"First place: Cheng Ran, 50000 points"

Yes.

The winner is none other than...

It was that Sword Inquiry Peak disciple who had recently gained fame in the Holy Land—

Cheng Ran.

This is him at this moment.

He's definitely the most handsome guy in the holy land!

......

......

The next day, at Wenjian Peak, in Cheng Ran's cave.

Stretching, Cheng Ran got out of bed. He had been resting and recuperating since returning to the Holy Land yesterday.

After all, he had consumed a lot of his essence during this sacred realm.

Thinking back carefully, he hadn't rested for a single moment.

They're basically all practicing dual cultivation!

ahem...

In conclusion, this mission to intercept the bid was successfully completed.

Upon opening the system panel, a continuous stream of prompts appears.

[Ding! The host has successfully prevented Ye Chen from obtaining the Demon Orb!]

[Ye Chen's luck value decreased by 50, the host gained 50 villain points, and was rewarded with the "Divine Power: Concealment".]

[Divine Ability - Concealment: Allows temporary concealment of one's form, making one undetectable by cultivators below the Nascent Soul stage.]

[Ding! The host has used the demon race to change Ye Chen's sexual orientation!]

[Ye Chen's luck value decreased by 50, and the host gained 50 villain points.]

[Ding! Mu Yunxi's submission level +20%, current submission level 30%, unlocking the third stage of submission level rewards.]

[The host and Mu Yunxi will share destiny!]

[Reward Received: Tiaodan]

[Tiao Dan: Using this item during dual cultivation can increase the submission level gained by the Lady of Destiny.]

[Reward Received: Gangshen]

[罡簺: Using this item during dual cultivation can increase the submission level gained by the Lady of Fortune.]

Mmm...that feels good!

All I can say is that I deserve to have worked so hard.

They reaped a huge harvest!

Besides his favorite little props, he even enjoyed Mu Yunxi's luck.

"To be honest, my senior sisters and master..."

"In a way, he's quite like the protagonist of this world; his luck is definitely not low."

"Being able to share in their fortune would definitely be helpful on my path of cultivation..."

Cheng Ran muttered to himself.

After all, he gained a full 50,000 points in this Holy Land Secret Realm.

Such deeds must have been heard not only in the Holy Land, but throughout the entire Kyushu.

In this way, besides showing off,

There's also the possibility that the Yin-Yang Sect and the demon race might have their eyes on him.

Although Ye Chen, the victim, still has some luck points, he can continue to be used as a meat shield in front.

But Ye Chen still had to...

In order to take care of his favorite senior sister, master, palace master and others after his death.

I must practice diligently!

As for the means of improvement...

Cheng Ran's lips curled into a wicked smile.

He took out a Palace Master's Token and a Sword Inquiry Peak Transmission Talisman, and placed them on the table.

"Well, my senior sister has done her best these past few days, let's give her a break for now."

"Whoever the little rooster points to, that's who I'll choose..."

"Alright, Master is the one."

Put away the two tokens.

Cheng Ran got up with great interest.

He walked towards the direction of Biluo Palace, swinging his master's favorite little prop in his hand.

......

......

Biluo Palace.

Gong Yueli sat upright in the main seat, quietly sipping her tea while reading Mu Yunxi's message.

"Master, Yunxi has some questions for you today."

She wasn't surprised by this.

After all, Cheng Ran surpassed Mu Yunxi in this sacred realm...

More than 30,000 points.

For the proud Mu Yunxi, this would inevitably make her feel somewhat complicated.

just.

Speaking of that wicked disciple...

Yesterday at the trial square, when the elders of the Holy Land saw that the winner was Cheng Ran.

Everyone came to congratulate her.

Saying things like "the way of the sword has a successor" or "the Sword Immortal Gong's teaching is excellent"...

She didn't seem to care much about it.

But the achievements of that wicked disciple were simply too outrageous.

Although it involved slaying the snake and a trip to the sacred Yaochi.

This way, she had already made this wayward disciple hold a place in her heart.

However, this time they won the secret realm.

Her disobedient disciple's performance far exceeded her expectations!

That wicked disciple not only scored 50,000 points, but was also the number one contributor to thwarting the demon clan's conspiracy!

Absolutely outrageous...

However, when she thought of this, Gong Yueli's expression became somewhat disappointed.

Gazing at her reflection in the teacup, she murmured:

"Perhaps I am not a qualified master..."

"If he hadn't forced himself on me that day, his talent would probably have been buried..."

"I owe him something."

This is also why Gong Yueli did not immediately summon Cheng Ran to explain the ins and outs of the secret realm.

After all, what if she had actually put Cheng Ran in solitary confinement that day...?

The series of events that followed...

Oh, it's unimaginable.

In short, she is now thinking about how to reward, or rather compensate, this wicked disciple.

I'll give him a fine sword...

Take him out to gain experience...

still......

dong dong dong-

"Master, your disciple requests an audience."

At that moment, Cheng Ran's respectful voice came from outside the door.

Gong Yueli immediately shrank back, her mind subconsciously recalling the scene of debating swords on the flying boat until her legs cramped up.

But then she immediately felt something was wrong. What was she afraid of?

We have just experienced the sacred and mysterious realm.

This wicked disciple has come to visit me; clearly, he wants to discuss matters related to the secret realm.

How could it be that she's greedy for Xiao Gong...?

Thinking this, she sat up straight again and said coldly:

"Enter."

The door was pushed open.

Cheng Ran, still smiling with that same suave air, swaggered into the hall.

The only odd thing was that one hand was hidden behind his back:

"Greetings, Master."

Gong Yueli looked him over indifferently.

For some reason, I found this wicked disciple slightly more pleasing to the eye.

So I didn't think much of it:

"What do you want with me?"

"I need to discuss something with my master."

Cheng Ran tugged at his collar and sat down in the main seat without a word.

Gong Yueli did not resist.

She shifted half her body away, then crossed her plump, beautiful legs:

"Is it related to the secret realm?"

"Um."

Cheng Ran nodded and said in a serious tone:

"Master, many things have happened in the secret realm, and it is difficult to explain them to you in a short time."

"But in short, I have realized that I have many shortcomings that need to be improved."

"You've made progress."

Gong Yueli nodded slightly, paused for a moment, and then looked at Cheng Ran:

"No need to beat around the bush, just say it directly."

"hey-hey."

At this moment, Cheng Ran revealed a sly smile.

He pulled out his hidden hand from behind his back.

The scene depicted above was exactly where he and Gong Yueli had played on the flying boat last time...

He said softly:

"Master, your disciple wishes to engage in a sword duel."
