After clearing the level, the fairies were reborn!

Fairy Qing Shuang never expected that even though she had been killing non-stop, she still couldn't catch up with Xu Ze's pace.

The gap is even widening.

She bit her lip lightly. It seemed that the first hurdle was that she couldn't get the other party to ask for her help.

……

"There are ten minutes left. I'll only keep thirty to take first place, and the rest are yours."

Xu Ze glanced at the light screen above his head, just about to divide the Earth Spirit Grass in the storage bag with Mu Qinghe.

Fairy Qing Shuang stopped at twenty-seven trees, keeping thirty for herself, which should be enough.

Give the remaining twenty trees to Mu Qinghe, so she can advance to the top ten.

Although I don't know what this so-called punishment of ten years as a 'handy disciple' really means.

But spending ten years in a place that was destroyed tens of thousands of years ago feels a bit creepy.

"Brother, you're so kind~"

Mu Qinghe became much more obedient at this point, choosing to cling to powerful figures.

There's nothing I can do; I'm destined to be just a decorative accessory.

She had just thought it through: Xu Ze was the one who killed these monsters, and if she angered him, what would happen if he left her here?!

"Hehe, weren't you very good at biting just now?"

Xu Ze continues to play out the scenario of the big bad wolf bullying the little lamb.

"Hehe~ Bro, if you like, I can let you have another bite..."

In a joke.

The light curtain above their heads shifted in a series of changes.

[Real-time Ranking of Earth Spirit Herbs]

[1. Song Yubai: 39]

[2. Xu Ze: 30]

【3. Frostbite: 27】

……

[Remaining trial time: 9 minutes.]

"Eek?!"

Mu Qinghe's delicate body trembled.

How come that brat surnamed Song suddenly has so many trees?!

"How about... I return it to you first?"

She glanced silently at the young man beside her, intending to hand over everything she owned.

Mu Qinghe wasn't that afraid of the so-called punishment.

Anyway, I should have already been discovered to have sneaked out.

The people who might arrest me are probably already on their way.

She didn't believe that this so-called secret realm could possibly stop her mother...

"Need not."

Xu Ze's gaze sharpened. He placed the little girl on the ground and began to silently recite the incantation of the Azure Cloud Sword Technique.

"I'll be right back."

As soon as he finished speaking, a streak of light shot straight into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

Mu Qinghe's eyes couldn't keep up.

After a long while, she murmured to herself:

"...Is this the speed that a Golden Core cultivator can achieve?"

Chapter 79 Victory is in Hand

Song Yubai was covered in blood.

That wasn't his blood, at least not most of it.

Blood splattered all over the front of his brocade robe; some of it had dried and turned black, while some was still slowly seeping through.

He also had a deep, bone-revealing wound on his arm, left from the battle just now, which was throbbing with pain, a reminder of everything that had just happened.

"I never expected Lin Jianshen to have so many treasures..."

Song Yubai leaned against a half-collapsed stone pillar, panting heavily, his voice hoarse.

Just over two hours ago, during the Chinese New Year, he couldn't find Xu Ze, but instead bumped into Lin Jianshen, who was in third place.

This person is an inner disciple of the Heavenly Palace, only one step away from becoming a direct disciple.

He is usually quiet and reserved, and prefers to keep to himself.

However, their strength should not be underestimated. They possessed late-stage Golden Core cultivation and had collected a full twenty Earth Spirit Grasses.

Song Yubai only had nineteen trees, which meant she didn't even make it into the top three.

But when he led eight people through the ruins in an attempt to find more spiritual herbs, he happened to encounter Lin Jianshen, who was alone.

At that time, Lin Jianshen had just dealt with a puppet and was putting the Earth Spirit Grass into his storage bag.

In that instant, countless thoughts flashed through Song Yubai's mind.

Reason told him that Lin Jianshen was from the Heavenly Palace, one of the four great immortal sects. Although he was only an inner disciple, he was about to be promoted to a personal disciple.

If we mess with Lin Jianshen, we'll probably be in trouble when we get out.

But in the end, desire and ambition prevailed over reason.

First place!

Become an inner disciple of an ancient sect!

There are also special rewards!

These words echoed wildly in his mind.

As long as he gets Lin Jianshen's Earth Spirit Grass, he can surpass Xu Ze and become number one!

As for the Heavenly Palace's revenge... as long as it's done cleanly, who can prove that it was Song Yu who did it?

In this eerie secret realm, it's perfectly normal for one or two people to die.

"Let's do it!"

Only two words remained in Song Yubai's mind.

The battle broke out suddenly and fiercely.

Lin Jianshen clearly did not expect Song Yubai to suddenly launch an attack, and to use a deadly move right from the start.

But he reacted extremely quickly, drawing his sword to block almost the instant Song Yubai made his move, while simultaneously retreating rapidly to create distance.

"Song Yubai, are you crazy?!" Lin Jianshen shouted, looking at the person who was attacking in disbelief.

He had long suspected that this kid had ulterior motives, but he never expected it to go this far!

The underlings beside him also looked at Song Yubai as if he were a ghost, and couldn't help but keep their distance.

"A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime... Brother Lin, blame yourself for having too many Earth Spirit Grasses on you!"

Song Yubai grinned maliciously, a dark red talisman already appearing in his hand.

The art of making talismans.

Lin Jianshen frowned deeply. The Song family patriarch made his fortune by making talismans!

The trump card handed over to this great-grandson should not be underestimated.

"As long as you can capture Lin Jianshen, each of you will receive 50,000 spirit stones after you leave. If you can form a Nascent Soul in the future, I guarantee that you will become guest elders of the Song family!"

In fact, Song Yubai could no longer mobilize much of the family's resources.

But in this time of crisis, who could have thought of these things?

His pancakes are very effective.

Among his henchmen, two others who were also at the Golden Core stage made a move.

One used a gun, the other a whip, attacking Lin Jianshen from both sides.

"Young Master Song, I'm here to help you!"

Under the reward, there must be a brave man.

Lin Jianshen is under increasing pressure.

Moreover, the aura that Song Yubai is currently unleashing is already close to the peak of the Golden Core stage!

Even though he also had treasures that could be exchanged within the sect.

But now, surrounded by multiple attackers and with Song Yubai having even more trump cards up his sleeve, there was no way to turn the tide.

As each talisman was activated by spiritual power, it transformed into beams of golden light, shooting towards Lin Jianshen like shooting stars.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, staggering as he cried out, "Song Yubai, I'll haunt you even as a ghost!!"

"But they'd have to know who did it first."

Song Yubai stepped forward, looking down at him without a trace of pity in his eyes, "Brother Lin, if you have to blame someone, blame your bad luck."

"Hmph, even if I die, you won't get away with it!"

Lin Jianshen crushed the jade pendant on his chest, which turned into a golden light.

It's a self-destruction!

Song Yubai's expression changed drastically. He tried to dodge, but a deafening explosion rang out rapidly.
