After disappearing for ten years, the junior sister made the entire sect kneel down to welcome her.

After Su Mingyue finished speaking, she made a great effort to stand up.

Since she couldn't continue resting, she would continue to demonstrate her resilience and tenacity. Lei Ziyue would surely feel even more sorry for her, and once they reached Mount Ling, he would bring her all the opportunities she desired.

Lei Zi felt heartbroken, but there was nothing he could do.

He simply said to the crowd behind him with a displeased expression, "As disciples of the Xuantian Sect, when our fellow disciples are bullied by disciples of other sects, we must unite against them and uphold the dignity of our own sect."

The Xuan Tian Sect disciples murmured, "...Yes."

But she secretly pursed her lips.

Although Lei Ziyue said he would explain the various phenomena that would occur during the rest period, in reality, since the group stopped, he had been either comforting Su Mingyue or directing disciples skilled in ice-attribute techniques to make ice blocks to apply to Su Mingyue's feet.

There was absolutely no mention of any opportunities related to the Ling Shan Secret Realm.

Now, after being ridiculed by Xiao Fenglan, Su Mingyue, this pampered junior sister, is actually willing to walk!

Forget about uniting against external forces and upholding the dignity of their own sect. They were too grateful to even think about Xiao Fenglan; in fact, they secretly wished they could tie her up and chain her to the front of the group, begging her to say a few more words so that Su Mingyue would run faster!

How could I possibly have any opinions about her?

With Lei Ziyue's encouragement and encouragement, the Xuantian Sect disciples followed the large group for another four miles.

There were no other sect teams to be seen on the mountain path.

Some disciples began to regret not traveling with Luo Huanzhen and the others, as they had not yet covered the short ten-mile mountain path after an hour and a half.

Lei Ziyue also had some reservations about Luo Zhenzhen's disobedience in leaving first and his shameless claim that he would be the team leader.

He then gave a cold laugh and casually reassured everyone, "Don't worry, even if they get up the mountain ahead of us, the opportunities and treasures they obtain will definitely not be more than ours."

"Because of the opportunities in the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm, besides those hidden in the seventy-two palaces, some treasures will also appear before us in the form of ordinary living creatures, such as sparrows, fish, tigers, rabbits, and so on. Their true forms are actually spirit stones, precious minerals, or immortal herbs and elixirs."

Upon hearing this, the disciples asked in confusion, "Then how can we distinguish between an ordinary living creature and a treasure?"

Hunting and killing them one by one would be far too inefficient.

Lei Ziyue smiled slightly, "You'll be glad you chose to stay and keep me and Junior Sister Mingyue company. Because what I'm going to teach you next is how to distinguish them."

"When treasures transform into living beings, whether they are birds, beasts, insects, or plants, the surrounding spiritual energy will subtly fluctuate and become slightly more concentrated than before."

Not many people know about this.

Lei Ziyue only fully understood this pattern after he had the opportunity to come to this secret realm three times because of his high status in the sect.

This is one of the reasons why Lei Ziyue is confident in protecting Su Mingyue.

"By the way, have you guys noticed a slight fluctuation in the spiritual energy around us lately?"

"It seems a bit stronger than before."

Amidst the murmurs, a rustling sound came from the bushes beside the mountain path. All the disciples immediately held their breath and looked in the direction of the sound—

A rabbit, about half a person's height, emerged from the bushes.

With the appearance of the rabbit, the previously fluctuating spiritual energy indeed became noticeably denser. It seemed startled, and with a kick of its legs, it darted away into the distance.

"This is... a treasure that has come to life...?"

"Chase!!!"

"You guys go west, you guys go east, let's work together to catch it!"

Under Lei Ziyue's command, the disciples scattered and ran with all their might to chase the rabbit.

"Mingyue, your feet hurt. Let's walk slowly, there's no rush," Lei Ziyue said, supporting Su Mingyue. "Once we catch that rabbit, your second senior brother will give it to you as a good omen for your first time leaving the secret realm."

Su Mingyue said obediently, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother."

In the dense forests of the mountains, the disciples scattered and then regrouped, forming an encirclement, and soon cornered the rabbit beneath a cliff.

There were no roads left.

The disciples rushed forward and bound the large rabbit tightly.

"Coo coo! Coo coo!"

The rabbit screamed in terror, and then in a flash, it transformed into a huge, crystal-clear spirit stone that emitted multicolored light.

A dense crowd of cultivators dressed in the robes of the Xuantian Sect crowded around the cliff, their faces filled with excitement.

"It really is a living treasure! Its true form is such a large, high-grade spirit stone that it has come to possess a spirit!"

"The tenth one! The tenth one! I'm so excited!"

"What are you talking about? What, the tenth one?"

"Wait? The numbers are wrong. How come we have more people?"

The Xuan Tian Sect disciples, who were initially excited, were suddenly stunned.

They looked at each other, staring at each other for a long time before suddenly realizing what was happening:

Whoa! All those disciples who left with Luo Zhenhuan earlier have reappeared!

Before they could even ask what was going on, Su Mingyue and Lei Ziyue arrived late.

Su Mingyue's eyes lit up when she saw the rabbit spirit stone.

She lifted her skirt and ran quickly to the rabbit spirit stone that was tied up with rope, covering her mouth and screaming excitedly, "My God, what a huge spirit stone!"

Lei Ziyue laughed heartily as he walked up to Su Mingyue, flicked her nose, and said, "I told you so, didn't I?"

Su Mingyue looked up sweetly and said, "Thank you, Second Senior Brother. You're the best to Mingyue!"

The disciples, already confused, were even more bewildered.

The disciples: ? ? Why are you thanking me?

Faced with everyone's doubts, Lei Ziyue announced, "Mingyue really likes this spirit stone. It's her first time participating in the secret realm, and she even got blisters on her feet trying to keep up with everyone's progress. To encourage and take care of her, I, as the team leader, have decided to allocate this spirit stone to Mingyue. I think everyone has no objections, right?"

A breeze blew through the mountains, and the valley fell silent.

Then, the disciple standing next to the rabbit spirit stone, holding the demon-binding rope in one hand, asked curiously, "Why?"

Another disciple standing next to him nodded in agreement: "She wore those shoes to the secret realm trial herself, and her feet got blistered."

Seeing that some people were actually objecting, Lei Ziyue hardened his face and said, "I was the one who told you how to identify living treasures. I could have kept quiet and taken Mingyue to capture this rabbit. But for the sake of the sect's interests, I chose to tell everyone so we could seek opportunities together. Now you disagree with such a small request?"

The two tilted their heads, then looked at the two senior and junior siblings simultaneously, rolled their eyes, and said speechlessly:

"Senior Brother Lei, what did you tell us?"

"It was clearly Junior Uncle Zhenzhen who led us to capture them."

Zhenzhen... Junior Uncle?

Lei Ziyue's expression changed. He looked up and glanced around. How did the number of disciples, which was originally over seven hundred, suddenly become nearly a thousand again!

At the same time, a clear, childlike voice came from the woods:

"Did you catch him?! Did you catch him?! I'm coming for you—"
