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

Luo Huanzhen's eyes reddened as soon as he rushed into Yun Yao's arms.

Seeing this, Yun Yao rubbed her little head and asked, "What's wrong? Did you get bullied in the secret realm?"

Logically, it shouldn't be like this.

Who can bully Zhenzhen?

She had no injuries whatsoever and appeared to be in excellent condition.

Feeling the warm touch from the palm of his hand on his head, Luo Huanzhen finally felt a sense of reality.

Her master is still perfectly fine.

The scene in the mirror of the secret realm, where the dantian is destroyed and the person is barely clinging to life, is all an illusion.

With her there, she would never let her Master Yun Yao suffer such a tragic end.

Luo Zhen rubbed his red eyes, held back his tears, and then hurriedly released the severely injured and dying Xuanlin Python from his spirit pet space.

"Master, please save Xiao Hei quickly."

The giant black-scaled python, its body covered in herbs yet still bleeding profusely, appeared before Yun Yao, barely clinging to life.

Yun Yao's gaze fell on the Xuanlin Python. "Zhenzhen has made friends with demonic beasts in the secret realm."

In the cultivation world, most cultivators contract with demonic beasts as their spirit pets.

It not only adds assistance to one's spiritual practice, but also makes the monotonous life less lonely.

He thought Luo was crying because the newly contracted monster was injured.

So he gently comforted her, "It's alright, Master will take a look."

Yun Yao primarily cultivates magical arts, but as a powerful cultivator in the Tribulation Transcending stage, he naturally has a general understanding of everything.

He walked up to the Xuanlin Python, raised his hand, and a gentle spiritual light fell on the python.

The herbs were gently brushed away, revealing horrifying wounds underneath—scales rolled up, flesh turned inside out, and in some places, even bare bones could be seen.

Yun Yao condensed a wisp of azure life force at his fingertips, which slowly traveled along the wound on the python's body.

Wherever that breath passed, the bleeding stopped, the rotten flesh began to fall off, and new tender flesh slowly grew out.

It just seems to hurt a lot.

The enormous body of the Xuanlin Python trembled and writhed on the deck.

Luo Huanzhen stood on tiptoe and stroked the Xuanlin Python's head, gently soothing it with his breath: "Little Black, it doesn't hurt. With Master here, Little Black won't die..."

The other Xuantian Sect disciples around them also felt itchy all over and couldn't bear to watch.

After a short while, Yun Yao stopped and turned to look at Luo Huanzhen.

"Its injuries were too severe. It was just a hair's breadth away from giving up. Thanks to the herbal poultices, it was kept alive. But it will take at least two more months to fully recover."

Luo Huanzhen nodded and spoke to the Xuanlin Python, "Did you hear that? Master said you'll be better in two months. However, your body is too big, so I'll put you back into my spirit pet space first. Once we return to the sect, you won't have to stay cooped up in the space anymore, okay?"

The contract was merely a means to take Xiao Hei away.

Luo Huanzhen never treated it as a spirit pet and made decisions for the Xuanlin Python on his own initiative. Instead, he consulted with it.

Only after receiving a weak response from the Xuanlin Python did he use his mind to put it away.

Back in the spirit boat.

Yun Yao lazily opened her eyes and smiled lightly, "Alright, what happened that everyone suddenly came out? Tell me."

The disciples who had just looked miserable and miserable outside finally dropped their pretense and revealed expressions of excitement and joy.

"I never thought the secret realm was so simple!"

"Junior Uncle is simply a lucky charm. Seven days! We actually cleared out the secret realm in just seven days!"

"If the other disciples in the sect found out, wouldn't they be filled with regret and jealousy over our generation's access to the Spirit Mountain Secret Realm?!"

"Towards the end, I felt a little embarrassed and guilty about taking them."

"Yes. In order to ensure that other sects wouldn't even get a taste of the soup, we ended up taking only a tiny bit of food."

"So kind, so incredibly kind!"

"The main problem is that we don't have enough storage bags. Cough cough..."

Amidst the clamor of the crowd, piles of rare and precious materials began to accumulate in front of Yun Yao.

Immortal herbs and spiritual plants, metal materials, finished magical artifacts, and even a few rare and precious spiritual beasts were all sorted out and categorized.

"Junior Uncle is amazing!"

"Following Junior Uncle means you'll get to eat meat!"

The disciples were all eloquent in their praise, while Luo Zhenhuan looked at Yun Yao with expectant eyes.

Yun Yao understood immediately.

Then he laughed and said, "Wow. You're really that amazing."

Luo Zhenzhu tried his best to remain modest and said, "Since I'm the team leader, of course I'm responsible. I'm just average-level."

But the corners of his mouth turned up uncontrollably, and his little body straightened up more and more.

Like a little peacock.

Extremely proud.

There were so many rare and precious treasures that the Xuan Tian Sect disciples spent three whole days distributing them, and they still hadn't finished.

The disciples each received a generous share, as if they had been hit by a huge pie falling from the sky, and were completely bewildered.

"How can there be so many treasures? I can't hold them all, I really can't hold them all, I don't want them anymore!"

"I don't want it anymore."

"As expected, even as a low-level henchman, you have to follow the right person..."

"On the importance of choice. I've never fought such a rich battle in my life."

Lei Ziyue, who was sitting listlessly next to him, felt even worse after hearing these words. Every word these disciples said was like a knife to his heart.

Just then.

A series of light footsteps entered the spirit ship.

The spirit ship is protected by a sect's barrier, preventing disciples from outside the sect from entering. Therefore, the only person who could be here is—

At the same time, a name popped into the minds of all the disciples, and they all turned to look at it.

Sure enough, a graceful figure in white entered the spirit ship.

Su Mingyue lifted the gauze curtain and stepped into the spirit ship. Her expression was not good, and she carried an undisguised disappointment and loneliness.

She had assumed there wouldn't be many people on the hearse.

Unexpectedly, he was immediately stared at by nearly a thousand pairs of eyes as soon as he entered, and his steps froze.

Her gaze then fell upon the pile of treasures in the very center of the spirit ship, which hadn't yet been divided. Immortal herbs, spirit ores, magical artifacts, spirit beasts…

They were piled up like a small mountain, shiny and dazzling, so bright it hurt your eyes.

Su Mingyue was stunned.

During her stay in the secret realm, she followed the people from Medicine King Valley.

After running around for several days, although she found some treasures, there weren't enough for even the disciples of Medicine King Valley to go around. What could an outsider like her possibly get?

Finally, when the disciples of Medicine King Valley had nothing left to look for, Liu Ruoci simply led them out of the secret realm ahead of time.

She had no choice but to follow them out.

Unexpectedly, upon returning to the spirit ship of the Xuantian Sect, I was immediately struck by such a huge pile of treasures.

"You..." Su Mingyue's voice was filled with shock and astonishment, "You actually found so many treasures?"

Everyone still remembers the incident where Su Mingyue stole their Blue Jade Grass.

Although they acquired many treasures later on, that's a different matter.

Upon hearing Su Mingyue ask this question, the disciples tacitly and deliberately provoked her.

"Yes, there are too many. We can't fit them all in, so we don't want any of them."

"It's so frustrating, how come I've gained so much?"

"Wow, did Junior Sister Su find nothing in the secret realm?"

"No way. Isn't the secret realm supposed to be full of treasures?"

Su Mingyue: "..."

Su Mingyue forced a fake smile.

She didn't answer her disciple's question about Yin and Yang, but instead took two steps forward, staring at the treasures on the ground, and said, "You have so many treasures, you can't possibly divide them all up..."
