Chapter 104: Entering Xi Yuan Secret Realm! (Minor Revision)

  "Really?" Leng Ruoxue was overjoyed, finally going to appear? For that quota, so many things have been triggered, hum! There must be something interesting there for her, otherwise, she would regret letting that secret realm appear.

  "Hmm, I've sensed it already." The butterfly said with a proud face, as the messenger of the secret realm, its feeling was never wrong.

  "What time will it appear?" Leng Ruo Xue continued to ask.

  "A week later," said the butterfly.

  "Where is the place?"

  "There is no fixed location, after the secret realm opens, anyone who has a quota can automatically teleport in." The butterfly explained, finally having its chance to shine after being suppressed for so long.

  "Girl! You'll need me a lot in the secret realm, so from now on you have to be nicer to me." The butterfly became somewhat complacent and showed off.

  "Get out! Go wherever you want!" Leng Ruoxue shouted, furious. This dead butterfly was really asking for trouble!

  "You're not gentle at all! You should learn from Ruohan, as a girl, you can't be like this." Hu Die said with some fear.

  Lengruo Xue's forehead was dripping with two drops of cold sweat, without hesitation, she cut off her connection with the butterfly and turned her gaze to the big bear.

  At this time, the big bear had already finished its promotion and was sitting on the ground in a daze. As for Ji Ri, due to his contract with it, he had gained many benefits, so he was currently in the midst of promoting...

  A moment later, Jugu completed his promotion and looked at his own rank with an incredulous expression. Oh my god! Is this real? He...he actually rose two ranks and is now at the peak of Ling Huang. This is a bit too easy, isn't it?!

  "Cough, cough!" Leng Ruo Xue deliberately coughed twice, waking up the person and beast who were in a daze.

  "Master." The Great Earth Demon Bear looked at Jiaran happily, it was a divine beast now, wow...it really wasn't easy.

  "Congratulations, Big Bear." said Guts with a happy tone.

  It wasn't until the host and the beast had finished their conversation that they finally remembered Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Really, thank you so much." Jūichi said with a grateful face.

  "Thank you." Big Bear said with some shyness, his fluffy big head was full of embarrassment.

  "No need to be polite, Big Bear, you have to take good care of Gu Da Ge in the future!" reminded Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Hmm." The big bear nodded its great head. It had to protect its master well! Otherwise, if something happened to the master, it wouldn't be able to live either.

  "Big Brother Ju, what's going on?" Leng Ruoxue looked around and saw Xiang Dong and others lying unconscious on the ground, and couldn't help but ask.

  "Alas! Let's not mention it." He let out a deep sigh, if it weren't for Youxue, this group of people would probably have become the sacrificial victims under the great bear's anger.

  "That woman disrupted my cultivation. I was just a little bit away from advancing to the next level, but because of her, all my previous efforts were wasted." The big bear still felt very angry thinking about it.

  "Brother Gu, let's rescue them and then we'll head back!" Leng Ruoxue said after some thought. The secret realm was about to open, so she had to make preparations early.

  "Good." With a nod of approval from the master, such a thing happened. Although it was said to be safe and sound, he didn't have the mood to continue protecting them, and they went down to practice.

  "Master, run quickly! There's a bear!" Dong Xiang woke up and his memory was still stuck before he fainted, so he shouted excitedly.

  "Calm down, it's okay." Jiarong patted his shoulder and comforted him.

  "Oh." Slowly, Dong's consciousness finally came back to him.

  And others aren't much better than Dong either...

  "Old Master Ma, let's go back!" After comforting the mercenaries, Jiu Ruo walked in front of Ma Zhongxian and said directly.

  "Alright, let's go back!" Ma Zhongxian replied somewhat helplessly. Something like this had happened, and he didn't have the face to ask them to continue protecting them anymore. After all, they had agreed on it from the start.

  "What? Go back! No way, Second Uncle, we can't go back, I haven't found the spirit beast I like yet!" Ma Yu Rong shouted in strong disapproval after hearing their conversation.

  "This is all because of you." Ma Zhongxian glared at his niece, his tone cold and detached. Because of her recklessness, they had almost lost their lives. Moreover, although the Hurricane Mercenary Group hadn't explicitly stated it, it was clear that if they wanted to stay here, no one would care about their well-being anymore. To risk everyone's life for such a reckless niece was truly unwise.

  "Second Uncle, have you forgotten what Father said before he left?" Ma Yu Rong saw that Second Uncle wasn't listening to her, so she immediately brought up her own father.

  "I will personally explain this matter to Big Brother." Ma Zhongxian said uncompromisingly.

  "Brother Gu, I don't want to leave here." Ma Yu Rong gazed at Gu Ri Dao with tear-filled eyes, attempting to move him with her tears.

  "Then you can stay here yourself!" Ji Rong said coldly, and turned to leave, too lazy to even bother with her anymore.

  "Let's gather and get ready to leave." Ma Zhongxian glanced at his niece lightly, instructing the other members of the Ma family.

  Everyone sat on the flying spirit beast, but Ma Yu Rong remained motionless.

  "Yu Rong, if you don't want to come up, we'll leave." Ma Zhongxian said impatiently, issuing his final ultimatum.

  Ma Yu Rong reluctantly sat on the back of the Ling Beast, but in her heart she was secretly resentful.

  At night, everyone rode on the spirit beast and returned to Fengdu.

  "Let's part ways here, Brother Gu!" said Leng Ruoxue after entering Fengdu.

  "Good." Only after sending off Rong Ruoyan and leaving did he turn around and leave with his team.

  Back at the General's Mansion, Leng Ruoxue directly entered the courtyard.

  "Butterfly." Standing in space, Leng Ruoxue called out softly.

  "Girl, I'm here. Have you been thinking of me?" A purple butterfly flapped its wings and appeared in front of Leng Ruoxue.

  "Can you be serious for once? I have something to ask you." Leng Ruoxue wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, feeling utterly helpless in front of this butterfly.

  "Girl, ask away! I'll definitely tell you everything, without holding anything back." The butterfly circled around, guaranteeing.

  "Alright, you tell me about the secret realm first! What's inside?" asked Leng Ruoxue with some curiosity.

  "Haha, you've asked the right person! No one is more familiar with that place than me. Inside, there are all sorts of rare treasures and spiritual beasts galore! Moreover, even the lowest level ones are sacred beasts. However, whether or not you can form a contract with them depends on your abilities..."

  "In there, luck is very important. If you're lucky, you might be able to get all the treasures, but if you're unlucky, many people will fight with you for them. So... it's also very dangerous in there, and fights often break out. Therefore, when entering the secret realm, you must be extremely careful, or else your life will be gone in an instant." The butterfly reminded him kindly.

  "But with me as your guide, the danger that was originally 100% is now only about 10%, so I'm quite important." As he said this, Butterfly's true nature was revealed once again.

  "Butterfly, isn't it only allowed for 200 people to enter? How can there be any danger?" Leng Ruoxue ignored Butterfly's complacency, and wondered with some confusion that with their strength, others shouldn't be their match.

  "How is that possible? The Secret Realm appears only once in a thousand years!" Butterfly shouted loudly.

  "Speak more clearly." Leng Ruoxue commanded, holding the butterfly in her hand.

  "Girl, let go, I can't breathe! Do you want to kill me? Waaaah..." Butterfly struggled and tearfully complained with a wronged expression.

  "Ah, sorry, you go ahead!" Leng Ruo Xue hastily let go of his hand, but in her heart, she couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Does a spirit need to breathe?"

  "Girl, in the vast universe, there isn't only one plane of existence like Lingfeng Continent. Lingfeng Continent is the lowest level of plane, but it's not the only low-level plane. There are thousands and millions, or even more planes at this level. And our Xi Yuan Secret Realm, as a spiritual treasure space born from the universe, naturally can't just appear on one plane. So, other low-level planes can also obtain the quota for the secret realm." Butterfly explained in great detail.

  "So, after we enter the secret realm, it's possible that we'll encounter people from lower-level planes?" asked Leng Ruoxue.

  "It's possible, but the secret realm is vast and you won't encounter many, so don't worry." The butterfly thought that Leng Ruo Xue was scared, and hurriedly comforted her.

  Leng Ruo Xue nodded thoughtfully and continued, "Hudie, I remember you said that following me would bring benefits. Now, can you tell me what those benefits are?"

  "With me as your guide, isn't that enough?" The butterfly's eyes widened in disbelief, asking, while muttering to herself, "This chick's appetite is really big!"

  "What about you?" Leng Ruoxue asked back, her eyes scanning Butterfly with a hint of malice.

  "What's that, girl? I'll let you bring a few more people in, is that okay?" Butterfly asked cautiously, her shiny black eyes blinking constantly.

  "This is about right." Cold-as-snow nodded in satisfaction, if they could get a few more people in, then just in case they encountered some herbs or something, they would be able to help pick them.

  "Girl, how many people are you planning to let in?" Butterfly asked curiously.

  "What do you think?" said Leng Ruoxue with a very evil smile.

  "Uh... you wouldn't want to bring everyone in, would you?" Butterfly couldn't help but speculate, her heart trembling with fear, hoping not to, otherwise the boss won't let it off.

  "Really clever, you're absolutely right." Leng Ruo Xue praised, looking at Butterfly's suddenly mournful face, she almost laughed out loud.

  "Hey, let's talk about this, can you please not let so many people in?" Butterfly pleaded pitifully, as if she was on the verge of tears.

  "Give me a reason." Leng Ruoxue said in an unyielding tone.

  "If you bring too many people in, our old master will kill me..." Butterfly said, and then burst into tears.

  "So how many people can I bring in?" asked Leng Ruo Xue with a gentle tone.

  "This... 1 thousand... at most 1 thousand people, really can't be more than that." Butterfly hastily said as soon as she saw the door.

  "Alright, just 1,000 people then!" Cold-as-Snow said with a very understanding tone. In fact, she hadn't planned on bringing too many people in anyway, and was just teasing it.

  "Ah! Girl, you're really great!" The butterfly happily circled around Leng Ruoxue, dancing and sprinkling light golden powder everywhere, showing off its good mood. Who would have thought that the girl was so easy to talk to? Hehe, it couldn't help but sneak a smile in its heart.

  "Green Vine." Having asked clearly what she wanted to know, Leng Ruo Xue softly called out towards the empty space.

  "Sister." Qing Jue suddenly appeared in front of Leng Ruo Xue.

  "Qing Jue, help me wake up Grandfather and the others!" Leng Ruo Xue said after a moment of thought.

  "Alright, sister." Qing Jue replied and immediately awakened Leng Qian Tian and others who were in meditation through his senses.

  "Xue Er, what are you looking for Grandfather about?" Not long after, Leng Qing Tian walked out of the bamboo house and said.

  "What brings you here, Xue Yaotou?" Lin Liang followed closely behind and also walked out.

  Two old men looked at each other in dismay, both somewhat puzzled as they gazed at Leng Ruoxue.

  More than ten minutes later, the people Leng Ruo Xue was looking for arrived one after another. Only then did she explain what had happened to them.

  "It's really great!" Leng Qing Tian said with a smile, "Xi Yuan Secret Realm! A treasure land that many spiritual lords dream of, but the quota for entry is only 200, so every time the secret realm appears, various forces will use all means to grab it."

  "Who would have thought that in my lifetime, I'd still be able to enter the secret realm for a visit? Alas!" The old man sighed with emotion.

  "That year, my master was able to obtain the elixir of promotion to Spiritual God by entering the secret realm, and became a Spiritual God. Then he went to the Upper Realm, but I don't know how he's doing now." Lin Liang also sighed.

  "Xue Er, how many people are you planning to bring in?" Leng Qing Tian asked curiously again, really not expecting that the little butterfly actually had such great power.

  "Except for the mercenaries, and you guys, I don't plan on bringing anyone else in." Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment, the others' strength wasn't high, going in would be useless, and they'd have to divide their attention to take care of them. It's better to let them stay in the seal and cultivate properly.

  "Hmm, we have enough people." Leng Qingtian nodded in agreement.

  "Girl, after we go in, we need to collect more materials for refining equipment. I heard there are a lot of them inside." Old Man Zao reminded, with so many equipment refiners in their team, they wouldn't have enough materials otherwise!

  "It's not just materials for refining equipment, we should also gather more herbs." Cold Snow added, she had already thought of this, these were absolutely things that couldn't be let go.

  "Right, right! The girl and Liu Xiazi are still Dan masters!" Old man Zao extremely agreed, no matter which realm, the status of Dan masters, instrument masters and beast tamers were very high, so these things were very important to them.

  "Grandpa, let's make good preparations for the next few days!" Ling Ruo Xue reminded.

  "Hmm, we should bring some food." said Leng Qingtian.

  It's about food again! Leng Ruo Xue has several black lines on her forehead, no matter where Grandpa goes, he can't forget to prepare food.

  "Girl, food is important, there's nothing good to eat over there." Butterfly saw through Leng Ruo Xue's thoughts and reminded her.

  "Grandpa, let's split up and go shopping for food separately." Leng Ruoxue said with a slightly embarrassed tone. Hmm! Grandpa is indeed more experienced, old ginger is still spicy after all!

  "Alright, let's prepare more of all kinds of daily necessities. Anyway, the space is very large and we don't have to worry about not having enough room." Leng Qingtian said confidently.

  "Grandpa, it's late today, let's go buy it tomorrow!" suggested Leng Ruo Xue.

  Leng Qingtian and others nodded, discussed for a while, then went back to their rooms to sleep.

  Five days later, Tingxue Xuan.

  Leng Ruo Xue was comfortably lying in bed, hugging Xiao Diao in her arms, and couldn't help but sigh with emotion. It really wasn't easy! After spending five days shopping, they had finally bought everything they needed. But the purchasing power of these people was truly astonishing - just thinking about the piles of stuff in the spatial warehouse made her scalp tingle.

  "Miss, Master Huo has arrived." Qingtao said softly outside the door.

  "What is he doing here?" The silver fox let out a low growl, his face filled with displeasure as soon as he sensed the fire.

  "Hehe, it's been so long, why are you still holding a grudge?" Leng Ruoxue said with a smile as she gently stroked the smooth fur of the little fox.

  "Hmph! Who told him to send his own spirit beast after me?" The silver little fox said resentfully.

  "Haha! I think it's really funny, such a loving scene!" Just thinking about that day's scene makes Leng Ruo Xue unable to help but laugh.

  "Xue Er, you're not allowed to mention this again, wu..." The little silver fox choked back a sob, it was truly too humiliating.

  "Alright then!" Leng Ruo Xue said somewhat helplessly, holding Xiao Duan in front of her.

  "Xu'er, I don't like this pose, people will see through it, wu..." The little silver fox cried shyly.

  "It's not all gone, the fur is all blocked, I swear, I really didn't see anything." Leng Ruoxue raised one hand with a black line on her forehead, making a swearing gesture, feeling extremely helpless in her heart. What was this little fox thinking?

  "Ugggh..." The little silver fox cried even louder.

  "Hmm! Don't cry anymore, let's go see Huo Qing!" Leng Ruoxue coaxed, this little fox was simply a replica of the demon, it was too similar.

  Leng Ruo Xue's forehead was beaded with cold sweat as she carried Xiao Diao out of Ting Xue Xuan and into the reception hall, where Huo Qing was already seated waiting for her.

  "How did you come? Aren't you in seclusion?" After walking into the living room, Leng Ruoxue asked directly and sat down on the main seat.

  "I just came out of seclusion, and I heard that you've bought a lot of things recently. Are you going on a long trip?" Huo Qing asked with some confusion. After receiving the Tianyuan Dan from You Xue, he didn't have any worries and successfully advanced to the Spirit Venerable realm. After advancing, he chose to go into seclusion to consolidate his cultivation. When he came out of seclusion, his father mentioned this matter, so he immediately rushed over.

  "It's not, Xi Yuan Secret Realm is about to appear." Leng Ruoxue said honestly, she didn't plan to hide it from Huo Qing, but neither would she take the initiative to tell him.

  "Really?" Huo Qing's face was full of surprise, and he stood up directly from his seat.

  "That butterfly told me, could it be fake?" said Leng Ruoxue calmly.

  "What did you buy to eat?" The fire king's face was full of question marks. What does the opening of the secret realm have to do with those things to eat?

  "The butterfly said there's nothing good to eat in the secret realm, so we prepared a bit more," explained Leng Ruoxue.

  "Oh, when will the secret realm of Xi Yuan be opened?" Huo Qing asked again, his face full of expectation.

  "It's less than two days." Leng Ruoxue said after calculating the time.

  "You still have time to prepare now." Leng Ruo Xue added.

  "En, Ruoxue, I won't chat with you much today, I'll go back and prepare first." Huoqing said, then hastily got up and bid farewell.

  "Hmph! How realistic, after inquiring about the news, you're leaving so quickly." Xiaotiao said with disdain as she watched Huoqing's departing back.

  "Hehe, isn't this very normal? The allure of the secret realm to them is something that you little fox can't even imagine." Cold Snow smiled indifferently.

  "Xu'er, let's go to sleep." The little silver fox yawned.

  "Isn't he going to have dinner?" asked Leng Ruoxue, but she was puzzled in her heart. This little guy is thinking of sleeping so early today!

  "I'm full, I want to sleep." The silver fox said, recently he had been sleeping with Xue Er every day, it was truly blissful.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruo Xue hugged Xiao Duan and walked towards her own room.

  Two more days passed, and Leng Ruo Xue and others slowly felt the call of the secret realm...

  In the living room, everyone is gathering together.

  "Girl, let them into your space quickly." The butterfly suddenly shouted with some urgency.

  "Good." Leng Ruoxue didn't suspect anything and put everyone along with the beasts into the ring.

  "Butterfly, why is that?" At this time, only Leng Ruo Xue and the butterfly were left in the living room.

  "The teleportation in the Creek Boundary Secret Realm is all random, I was afraid you would disperse!" The butterfly's black and shiny eyes blinked, explaining.

  "Why didn't you say so earlier? What if it's too late?" Cold Snow was somewhat annoyed, grasping the butterfly in her hand and shouting loudly.

  "Oh no! You're being rough again, waaah... The butterfly's tears flowed out like rain from its small black shiny eyes."

  Suddenly, a strong light shone on Leng Ruoxue's body. After the strong light disappeared, Leng Ruoxue and Butterfly vanished from the living room without a trace.

  "Here?" Leng Ruoxue looked at the scenery in front of her, pondering in her heart, could this be the Xi Yuan Secret Realm? However, this place was also a bit too disappointing.

  Leng Ruo Xue was currently standing in the middle of an empty space, with a forest not far ahead that didn't seem particularly impressive. From her line of sight, the forest wasn't very large either. Behind her was a river, and beyond it was a vast expanse of white fog that obscured everything from view. The same fog also filled both sides, stretching out endlessly in all directions.

  "Hey, this is my home, isn't it great?" The butterfly stopped in front of Leng Ruoxue's eyes, speaking with a proud face, and the dark shiny pupils no longer showed any signs of having cried.

  "What a terrible place this is!" Cold Snow's forehead dripped with cold sweat, her heart burning with anger. This place was truly depressing, with nothing but the small forest in front of her and the river behind it. Moreover, the spiritual energy in the air here was not dense enough. In short, it did not live up to its reputation.

  "Girl, don't get angry first, actually, this place is really good, it's just that you need to take the risk yourself, your first stop is the forest in front of you, only after passing through that forest can you be transported to other places, and this first level is also the safest."

  "Girl, you're really lucky! In this secret realm, the forest has the most good things." The butterfly said with a hint of excitement.

  "Where else would I be sent to?" Leng Ruoxue asked curiously after hearing the butterfly's words, but her suspicions in her heart did not decrease at all. It was because this forest was too small and too miniature, and she could see it all at a glance.

  "Deserts, oceans, canyons, mountains and so on are all possible, but being transported to a forest is the best for you," Butterfly explained.

  "Alright then, I'll believe you for now!" Leng Ruoxue said after a moment's thought, and immediately let everyone out.

  After everyone came out, their mood had already calmed down a lot, because they all heard the conversation between that butterfly and Leng Ruo Xue just now.

  "Xu'er, since we can only go to other places after crossing the forest, let's set off!" Leng Qingtian clenched his fists and rubbed his palms together, with a somewhat eager tone. He was really curious about this legendary Xi Yuan secret realm.

  "Let's go!" Leng Ruo Xue said, seeing that everyone was eager to see the legendary secret realm.

  "Go, go!"

  Everyone was excited and walked into the forest together.

  After entering the forest, Leng Ruo Xue realized that she was wrong. She shouldn't have judged Lin by his appearance because the forest was filled with medicinal herbs, so many that they covered the entire path, and some of them were extremely precious. Moreover, the interior of this forest wasn't small at all...

  "Don't move, don't pick any herbs!" Liu Yan, as a Dan master, excitedly shouted, startling everyone.

  "You little stinker, why are you yelling so loudly? We're not deaf." The old man gave Liu Yan a slap on the head, scolding him intentionally.

  "Hehe, hehe!" Liu Yan couldn't help but smile foolishly!

  "Liu Yan is right, everyone be careful where you step, don't trample the herbs." Leng Ruoxue said with a hint of amusement, sigh! Liu Yan's love for the herbs is even more crazy than hers.

  "Xue Er, what should we do now?" asked Leng Ruo Han, who didn't dare move at all.

  "Pick them! So many herbs can't be wasted." Leng Ruoxue said with a matter-of-fact expression.

  Uh, everyone's forehead was covered with a few drops of cold sweat. With so much grass, when would they be able to finish weeding?

  "Hehe, I have some good news to tell you all. The herbs here haven't been completely picked, and you won't be able to leave this area." The butterfly fluttered excitedly in front of everyone, saying with a cheerful tone.

  No way! What good news is this to everyone? Isn't it just bad news? However, soon they resigned themselves to their fate. Who let that butterfly be the local snake? Other people's words, they can choose not to believe, but this local snake's words, cannot be disbelieved! And besides, why was that butterfly so excited?!

  Leng Ruo Xue gave the butterfly a look of appreciation, haha, for the first time, she found that this butterfly was still somewhat useful, otherwise, if they really let them pick all these herbs, she would have felt a bit unbearable.

  After everyone resigned themselves to their fate, they each squatted down and started picking up things in the nearest place to them.

  "Ah! What's this?" Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out!

  Digression

  Thank you dear 15597175688 and yq9589 for the flowers.

  Thank you, dear Li Chenxiu, for the diamond.
