After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

The two girls then started playfully fighting, their pretty faces flushed red.

Amidst the laughter and playfulness, Su Zhenzhen's gaze involuntarily drifted back to the receding figure in the blue robe.

The morning light shone on him, gilding him with a faint golden edge.

He walked on calmly, followed by three burly men as tall as iron towers, their steps steady and their demeanor extraordinary.

Su Zhenzhen was engrossed in watching, a faint sense of anticipation and longing rising in her heart.

If we could truly become Daoist partners...

As she thought about it, her face turned red again.

"Oh dear, Zhenzhen, what are you thinking about!" she muttered to herself, but she couldn't take her eyes off her.

Although Tang Qian didn't show it on her face, her eyes secretly followed that figure.

The image of the boy shattering the shadow of the wild bear with a single punch lingered in her mind.

The grace of that punch, the composure...

She suddenly realized that her junior sister's judgment was indeed quite good.

---

Lin Fengmian was naturally unaware of what was happening behind him.

He led the three Xiong brothers deeper into the small world.

On the way, he finally figured out where these three people came from.

The Xiong family has three brothers: the eldest is called Xiong Da, the second is called Xiong Er, and the youngest is called Xiong San.

Their names are simple and straightforward, just like their straightforward thinking.

All three were originally independent cultivators who, by chance, obtained a body-refining technique called "Savage Bear Body Technique".

He cultivated all the way to the Foundation Establishment stage using this technique.

The purpose of entering this secret realm is to seek an opportunity to break through to the mid-stage of Foundation Establishment.

At this moment, he is directing the three newly recruited Xiong brothers toward the core area.

It must be said that Lin Fengmian's choice was absolutely correct.

These three are indeed body-refining cultivators; they are not only full of energy but also exceptionally capable.

Along the way, the task of collecting magic crystals naturally fell to them.

"Brother, there's one here!"

Xiong Er squatted on the ground, his large palms parting the rubble to reveal a fist-sized, lustrous crystal.

He came running over excitedly, holding the gift in both hands and handing it to Lin Fengmian.

"Big brother, here you go!"

Lin Fengmian took the Illusion Crystal, weighed it in his hand, and nodded in satisfaction.

Hmm, it's in good condition.

He casually put the illusion crystal into his storage bag, then continued walking leisurely behind.

At this moment, Lin Fengmian felt incredibly comfortable.

In his previous life, when he was a corporate slave, he was exploited by his boss to the point of working non-stop, and he didn't even get a kind word when he worked overtime until late at night.

What now?

Three burly men at the Foundation Establishment stage were working hard in front, while he only needed to walk around and collect the goods from behind.

This feeling is absolutely amazing!

Lin Fengmian's lips curled into a capitalist-style smile.

No wonder those bosses in my past life loved to exploit their employees; it turns out being a boss feels so good!

However, Lin Fengmian was not the kind of heartless boss.

Every time the three Xiong brothers handed over a batch of magic crystals, he would set aside a portion and hand it to the three of them.

"Here, this is for you."

Xiong Da stared at the illusion crystal handed to him, then quickly waved his hand:

"Brother, this is unacceptable! This is what we should do; how can we accept your gift?"

Xiong Er and Xiong San nodded in agreement, shaking their heads like rattles.

Lin Fengmian smiled and stuffed the Illusion Crystal directly into Xiong Da's hand:

"Here you go. You do the work, I pay you, it's only fair."

He paused, his tone becoming more serious:

"Since you all call me elder brother, then as your elder brother, I naturally cannot treat you unfairly."

Upon hearing this, the three Xiong brothers felt even greater admiration for him.

This guy is not only incredibly strong, but also so loyal and righteous!

The three exchanged a glance, then quickly cupped their hands and said in unison:

"Thank you, brother!"

The sound was so loud it could shake the birds off the mountain.

Lin Fengmian waved his hand, turned around and continued walking forward:

"Alright, let's go. We need to get down to business."

The three Xiong brothers quickly followed, their steps lighter than before.

Lin Fengmian walked ahead, but his mind was preoccupied with other matters.

In this small world, the place he most wanted to go was the deepest part.

There are stone walls there, and carved on them are postures and methods of dual cultivation...

If I can grasp the essence of it, I'll go back and "practice" it properly with Nangong Li and Chu Qingyi...

Isn't that wonderful?

Lin Fengmian grew more and more excited as he thought about it, unable to suppress the smile on his lips.

Nangong Li's cold yet alluring appearance, and Chu Qingyi's innocent yet naive demeanor...

If we were to apply the poses from those stone walls to them...

Tsk tsk.

Lin Fengmian was lost in his blissful reverie when suddenly—

A cold, sinister voice suddenly rang out, interrupting his thoughts.

"Lin Fengmian, we've finally waited for you!"

Lin Fengmian paused, then looked up.

On the only road leading to the core area, a gloomy-looking young man stood with his hands behind his back, coldly watching him.

That gaze was like a venomous snake eyeing its prey.

Lin Fengmian glanced at the other person and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Who is this person?

Am I that famous? How come every Tom, Dick, and Harry knows me?

Seeing Lin Fengmian's blank expression, the young man became even more smug.

He sneered, his voice filled with an arrogant confidence of victory:

"Lin Fengmian, let's see where you can run this time!"

This person was the undercover agent who tipped off Ye Fan that day!

The Xuan Tian Holy Land planted outer disciples in the Hehuan Sect!

Ever since he sent a message to Ye Fan in the secret realm, he had been keeping a close eye on Lin Fengmian's movements.

Today, he finally got his chance!

The young man thought to himself with delight—

Although he didn't know how this person was still alive, after all, he had clearly told Ye Fan and Lin Fengmian their location.

But I suppose it's because the Holy Son couldn't find the other party.

But it's okay.

Today I will personally kill this person, and when the Holy Son is pleased...

Why can't I find three beautiful junior sisters to be my Daoist partners?

Thinking of this, the murderous intent in the young man's eyes intensified.

He waved his hand—

"Let's do it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, nine figures suddenly flew out from around him!

The nine people had been lying in wait all around, and now they all appeared together, surrounding Lin Fengmian and his companions along with the young man!

Ten people, ten directions, perfectly aligned!

"Form ranks!"

The young man shouted, and all ten of them simultaneously formed hand seals!

Streams of spiritual light shot out from their palms, intertwining and swirling in the air, instantly transforming into a massive light screen that enveloped an area of ​​ten feet in radius!

"Heaven and Earth Spirit Locking Formation!"

The moment the light screen took shape, an invisible pressure spread out!

Lin Fengmian frowned.

He glanced down at the jade pendant at his waist, and sure enough—

The once lustrous luster on the jade pendant has now completely dimmed.

Spiritual energy was sealed off, and space was isolated.

This formation not only seals spiritual energy but also blocks teleportation.

Seeing Lin Fengmian examine the jade tablet, the young man laughed loudly.

"Stop making a fuss! You're not getting away!"
