Keqing, it’s just cultivating immortality, is it that difficult?

The view is full of lush greenery, with scattered light shining through the gaps between branches and leaves, falling on the hair and revealing mottled star-like dots.

As he walked, the rustling of dead leaves could be heard, and all kinds of tiny sounds could be heard from the dense forest.

Butterflies are dancing, birds are singing, branches and leaves are swaying in the wind, and there is the girl's soft sigh.

“I didn’t expect to be here.”

A relatively spacious open space came into view, and a familiar spiritual plant swayed in the wind and appeared before my eyes.

The spiritual plant is more than one foot tall, and is as thick as the roots of wheat. The rhizome is light purple, and is wrapped in layers of thin leaves as it goes up. The purple gradually turns into green, and the leaves extend upward. There are two palm-sized leaves on the top, which are slightly curved inward and hang down on both sides. From a distance, it looks like a green banana.

Wild grass.

That’s right, this is the secret product of the Yin Dynasty’s secret realm. Keqing had seen its appearance in the market town, but she didn’t expect to find so many clusters of it here.

There was no doubt that this was a secret realm, because she had never heard of the same Tianhuang grass appearing in other places outside.

The secret realm of the Yin Dynasty was not a local evolution or a creation of a powerful being, but rather a fragment of a small world attracted by the great universe.

That is why, when you look up, there is nothing at all. Although there is still light in the sky, you cannot see the sun, and of course there is no moon either.

However, the secret realm is connected to the big world, and the laws of the big world have a strong suppressive force on the secret realm itself, so even without the sun and the moon

There are day and night in the secret realm, and it is synchronized with the outside world, at least here.

So the question is, why would the mastermind behind this bring me to this secret realm?

Keqing thought to herself, so the other party should be in this secret realm? She interrupted the transmission wave in the middle of the transmission, so the transmission was a little off.

Keqing guessed and became more cautious.

"Anyway, it's better to be careful."

I had been planning to enter the secret realm to find out what was going on, but I didn’t expect to end up here by chance.

She was not worried about herself. After all, she had been here for three days and the mastermind had not found her and caused trouble for her yet. This meant that the other party had not fully mastered this secret realm, so there was no need to worry too much.

On the contrary, she was a little worried about how Xiyue was doing, as she had agreed to go back in the evening.

"Forget it, there's no point in thinking too much."

With Xiao Meiqiu here and Xiyue's ability, there is nothing to worry about.

But how do I get out of this secret realm?

This secret realm requires a key to enter, and the so-called secret realm key is actually the key to the formation set up by the Immortal Alliance, and the formation is set up in the weak point of the secret realm's wall.

Every three years, the boundary wall will become weaker. At this time, the formation can prop up the weak part of the secret realm and bring people in. According to her understanding, the secret realm will open in one month and can last for one month.

Thinking of this, Keqing calmed down. People from outside would come in in a month, and she could find out the entrance to the secret realm by asking around, so she didn't have to worry about not being able to get out.

The most important thing right now is to survive and explore the secret realm. Her intuition tells her that the secret realm is not as simple as outsiders think.

But before that, Keqing took out the Huiguang Sword and cut off the Tianhuang grass directly from the roots.

The medicinal effects of Tianhuangcao are basically in the green part above the purple rhizome and the leaves on the top, while the part below is not needed. Now that Keqing has encountered these clusters of Tianhuangcao, she will not waste them. Even if she does not use them herself, Xiyue might use them, or she can sell them to others to obtain spirit stones.

Whether you are a cultivator or a mortal, it is absolutely impossible to be without money. She is not the kind of person who has high aspirations but low skills.

She took out the prepared jade box and put the Tianhuangcao into it. Keqing thought for a moment, picked a piece, and chewed it gently in her mouth.

……

Well, it’s hard to say whether fresh grass leaves taste good or not. After all, they are just grass. Even if they have spiritual energy, they are just a little more tender.

The medicinal power of the herbs entered the body through the mouth and tongue, but was quickly destroyed by the lightning element with a crackling sound, and all the medicinal power was gone.

Keqing blinked. It seemed that she was not the kind that could be purified.

“Is this a good thing?”

There is no need to purify one's own spiritual power, which should be considered a good thing.

But it is also true that his own strange thunder needs to devour and fuse with other divine thunders in order to grow. The thunder itself is extremely pure and does not need to be purified. The power he uses has been tempered by thunder. He does not directly use external spiritual power. Naturally, there is no so-called impurity purification.

After learning that it had no effect, Keqing's interest in Tianhuangcao decreased a little.

She put the jade box into the space, then picked a few pieces of Tianhuang grass, pulled them up by the roots, and planted them in the Chen Ge pot.

Gradually, spiritual energy filled the Chen Ge pot. Although it was a little thin, maybe it could be grown. Keqing planted it with the attitude of giving it a try.

Although it’s not that no one has ever grown it, others have discovered that Tianhuangcai cannot survive outside, so Tianhuangcao can only become a specialty of the secret realm.

After leaving behind a portion of Tianhuang Grass, Keqing walked towards the depths of the interior.

Now that we have come to the secret realm, we cannot return empty-handed. Let's explore and see what good things there are! After all, our family wealth is not abundant, and we need to replenish it.

Chapter 103: Tempering, Exploration, and the White-haired Character (Part 3)

Walking in the woods was not a difficult task for Keqing, but the journey was intermittent, and she often had to restrain her spiritual energy and hide during the exploration.

Because she found that there seemed to be a kind of gaze searching for her, so every time that dark gaze seemed to fall on her, in order not to be discovered, she would concentrate and hide herself strongly.

Completely restrain the aura on your body and disguise yourself as a person without spiritual energy.

If she doesn't reveal herself, outsiders won't be able to tell that she is a monk, so this method is very effective.

After a few scans, the glances became less and less frequent until they no longer appeared.

"Is that the mastermind behind this?"

Keqing frowned secretly and had to be extra careful.

Afterwards, she began to explore this secret realm. The secret realm was not big, but not small either. The strongest monster here was only at the great perfection of foundation building, which was the fourth level.

It can be said that Keqing’s existence is a dimensionality reduction and crushing force, and there is no need to fear the attacks of these monsters at all.

However, in order not to cause too much noise, Keqing did not use her spiritual power, but simply used her swordsmanship and physical fitness to deal with those monsters, which can also be regarded as a kind of tempering and training.

After all, even in Liyue, she often used pure strength rather than using the Eye of God to solve everything.

This can reduce your excessive reliance on external things and also serve as a tempering tool.

The deep jungle of the secret realm is not like the jungle outside.

There are countless wild beasts here, and each of them has divided out its own territory and acts according to its strength.

Along the way, Keqing encountered attacks from several monsters, most of which were at an advanced level of foundation building or even at the great perfection stage.

These beings all have a good tempering effect. Although their strength is not strong, Keqing has learned a lot of attack methods and coping methods from them.

There are towering trees that look like dryads, with waists that two people can hug together and heights of fifty or six feet. There are dense vines on the bodies, all of which are its means of attack.

When Keqing approached, she was quickly wrapped up by the hesitant vines because of the tree demon's hidden means. The branches and leaves with psychedelic and corrosive properties spread like green mist, quickly filling the entire space.

If Keqing hadn't acted decisively, she would have almost fallen for it. Although the so-called hallucination had no effect on her, each branch was as hard as iron. Waving them was like facing an army of thousands of white horses, which was hard to resist and her body would feel pain from the blows.

Moreover, those vines can be deformed at will, and even have clear division of labor. Some attack with their own bodies, some spray juice remotely, and some will use some magical weapons of monks obtained from unknown places to attack, making Keqing flustered for a while, and it took her a long time to kill the tree monster.

There is also a drug that is like a wild bear, with a huge body. A slap from it can deliver a force as strong as a thousand pounds. Although its speed is not fast, because of its thick skin and flesh, a casual blow will cause a strong whistling wind. If you are accidentally hit by it, your skin will immediately turn red and your arm will feel numb.

In the end, it was Keqing who used the sharpness and extreme speed of the Echo Sword to cut through the thick skin of the monster, weakening the giant bear, and then killed it.

Keqing continued to do the same thing and harvested many corpses of monsters.

The corpses of these monsters are also good materials for humans to refine medicine and weapons. Although they do not have demon pills like the Jindan demon cultivators, it is also a way for cultivators to obtain resources. Therefore, Keqing did not waste them and collected them all. After all, they were also her trophies.

"As expected, only through hard work can one become stronger."

At this time, Keqing had just experienced a battle and was washing herself by the river, she couldn't help but sigh.

Zheng——

The Huiguang Sword on the side also responded, seeming to agree.

Keqing picked up the sword, plunged it into the stream, and simply rinsed it. In the sparkling stream, the sword was shiny and flashing with an icy luster.

As for the strange purple color on the side of the hilt, it remained unchanged after experiencing the Nascent Soul cultivator of the Yan family, as if the previous devouring was just a dream.

"What is the reason... What is the trigger for the devouring?"

Keqing stroked the sword with her fingertips and whispered softly. The cold sharpness penetrated her skin with a biting chill, bringing a moment of chill.

To be honest, it is good but also bad that my sword has such uncontrollable abilities. Any unexpected factors that are not under my control will bring unpredictable consequences.

Therefore, Keqing has been trying to explore how this devouring power is produced and what consequences it will have, but to no avail. This feeling of being out of control always brings a little anxiety, making people want to explore.

"Forget it, maybe we'll know in the future..."

He put away the sword and made a sword flower, splashing waves of water.

After all, it is your own sword, so you just need to pay more attention to it.

"squeak--!"

It seemed that her movements had disturbed something. Keqing looked in the direction of the sound and saw a furry ball poking its head out from the bushes. It seemed to be startled when it saw Keqing.

The fur ball is just as you can see, a fur ball, just like a round fat cat, but unlike the slender shape of a cat, this fur ball is as round as a dumpling.

Its whole body was snow-white, just like the hair of a snow fox, and under its feet were four short legs a few centimeters in size, which at a rough glance were only the size of a thumb. Its two small eyes the size of black beans were wide open, and when it saw Keqing looking at it, it ran away!

"Squeak!"

It was so fast that it disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"so cute……"

Keqing was eager to try, but when she remembered that her goal was to get out of the forest and investigate the abnormalities in the secret realm, she suppressed her urge, acted as if nothing had happened, and walked in the predetermined direction.

"squeak?"

Watching Keqing's back as she left, the white-haired ball sneaked out.

It looked at Keqing and found that she was gone, then quietly came to the stream and licked it with its pink little tongue.

But at this moment, a figure enveloped it!

The white fur ball was startled, and before it could react, a pair of slender five fingers grabbed it.

"Caught you..."

"Ah, it's just as soft as I imagined."

He hugged her tightly and squeezed her.

How can a girl resist such a cute creature? Even Keqing couldn't help wanting to come back to satisfy her desire. It was soft and warm, and more comfortable than a cat's rub.

Keqing is addicted to it and can't extricate herself!

This is not confusion, but following your heart! Yes, it is following your heart!

Keqing personally thinks this is the case.

"Squeak!"

The little white-haired ball struggled at first, but when he found that this strange monster had no ill intentions, his struggle slowed down and then slowly stopped.

She stopped struggling and began to enjoy the intimate massage from the strange monster.

After rubbing it for a long time, Keqing looked at the little white fur ball reluctantly and put it on the ground.

"Okay, I should go..."

Now that the rua is over, it's time to get down to business.

But just as she was about to leave, the white-haired ball suddenly bit her socks.

"what happened?"

"Squeak!"

Keqing blinked.

"You want me to go with you?"

"Squeak!"

Chapter 104: Like Animal Husbandry (Part 4)

After Xiaotuanzi demonstrated, Keqing roughly understood what it meant.

Anyway, just take her to see something.

Keqing didn't know what the little guy was going to take her to see, but since she had plenty of time and was curious, she followed him.

The white ball's movements were very agile. Although it had short legs, it ran faster than a rabbit. It ran out in a whoosh, and then stopped to see if Keqing had caught up, as if asking why it was so slow and to hurry up.

Keqing found it a little funny, but had no choice but to quicken her pace. She didn't know how long she had been walking, but the trees around her became increasingly sparse, and the soil became drier.
