Liu Zixiao not only didn’t dare to speak, but she was also very afraid Qin Yu might say something.

Luckily...

Qin Yu was fully focused on healing her.

This made her breathe a sigh of relief...

What a joke!

This was the main reason she couldn’t speak!

"Something’s not right, Zixiao, what’s that sound over there..."

The Sect Leader might be overly concerned about her condition, he actually heard some very strange noises.

Very faint.

If you didn’t listen carefully, you wouldn’t hear it, but upon listening intently, you realized Liu Zixiao’s breathing was a bit off.

Very heavy.

Just like when she was heavily injured.

"Zixiao, has your injury worsened?!"

The Sect Leader’s heart immediately surged, "I’ll send a message to Qin Yu, he clearly knows you used a Forbidden Technique, yet he left you alone in the room..."

"Don’t!"

Liu Zixiao wanted to stop him but was too late, she could only watch helplessly as Qin Yu took out the Sound Transmission Stone.

"Master."

"You better go check on your Master Liu, she seems seriously injured..."

"Understood, I’ll go right away."

Qin Yu handled it with ease, but Liu Zixiao clearly felt his speed increased.

Luckily.

Qin Yu didn’t reveal any flaw.

This was the only thing that could bring her some comfort.

As long as it’s not discovered, things can be as if they never happened!

However, in the days that followed, Liu Zixiao realized just how absurdly wrong she was.

After realizing the various benefits brought by that special energy, she actually had a huge question in her heart.

Why would Su Xiyue agree to share this... opportunity with Leng Ruyu.

At this moment, Liu Zixiao could almost confirm that the Black Qi Leng Ruyu was contaminated with could have been completely expelled long ago, yet Su Xiyue clearly knew this but did not expose it, and even allowed the Demoness of the Demon Sect to stay.

It turned out...

One person really couldn’t handle it alone!

As a master, she could only plead with her disciple!

Feeling ashamed, Liu Zixiao also contemplated whether she should find someone to share the burden!

But, before Su Xiyue, she was an elder.

She was an Elder after all, she couldn’t just shamelessly move into the Saintess Cave Mansion, could she?!

That would look so wrong!

No, absolutely not.

However... apart from staying at the Saintess Cave Mansion, Qin Yu spent half of his time each day cultivating with the Sect Leader.

If she could rope her good sister into this, there would be someone to share the pressure, and it wouldn’t raise suspicion among the people of the Immortal Sect.

Wouldn’t it be killing two birds with one stone?!

If things develop this way, it would naturally be great.

But Liu Zixiao knew her sister’s temperament, getting her agreement wouldn’t be easy.

Obviously, the Sect Leader might have already guessed some things, but even after being injured twice, she was still keeping a distance from Qin Yu.

That sense of alienation was evident even to her.

At that time, Liu Zixiao didn’t understand, but now she knows the real reason.

It looks like this is a long and difficult path.

Need to use other methods...

Soon, Liu Zixiao’s eyes brightened.

The next day.

After regaining some strength, she sent a sound transmission to the Sect Leader, claiming to have stumbled upon some fascinating stories at the Cyan Mist Hall, piquing the Sect Leader’s interest.

...

And so, about half a month went by.

For a whole half month, master and disciple almost didn’t leave the room.

Half a month.

A whole half month.

Liu Zixiao didn’t even know how she survived.

But, in just half a month, her injuries from using the Forbidden Technique had completely healed, and her Realm recovery was only a matter of time.

The benefits she gained were far beyond just that.

With the accumulating Warm Current within her body, the speed of her Root Bone’s enhancement was rapidly increasing, she believed that soon it would undergo a transformation.

Top Grade Spirit Bone!

And that wasn’t even the end, she believed the Dao Bone was just around the corner!

All of this made Liu Zixiao feel unreal, yet the benefits she gained were undeniably real.

At this moment, she had completely forgotten how she confidently spoke to Qin Yu half a month ago.

Just once?!

"Dong dong dong!..."

The resounding sound of a bell echoed across the mountains, Qin Yu opened his eyes and looked outside.

"What happened?"

Snuggled in his embrace, Liu Zixiao groggily opened her eyes, clearly still very tired.

Just then, a voice came, "Everyone, the Secret Realm is about to open, please follow us."

It seemed they were about to set off.

"Master, you should rest well."

Qin Yu stopped Liu Zixiao from getting up, smiled confidently at her, and after tidying up his attire, stepped out the door.

A bustling crowd, looking out, there seemed to be dozens of people.

How many?!

Actually not many, Cyan Mist Hall governs the Ten Domains, the number of cultivators was countless, yet there were merely a few dozen here.

"Luo Palace Envoy."

Qin Yu spotted Luo Lizhu’s figure and immediately stepped forward to greet her respectfully.

He knew clearly in his heart that the position of Palace Envoy was high and influential, even the Lords of various Immortal Sects needed to show respect.

Staying close would undoubtedly save him from many unnecessary disputes and troubles.

"Later, you will accompany me."

Luo Lizhu was clearly aware of Qin Yu’s little thoughts, but she didn’t expose them, instead nodding gently to grant permission.

Because she had investigated Qin Yu, although among the dozens this time there were quite a few who had entered Refining at Qin Yu’s age, she still favored Qin Yu!

The reason lies in Qin Yu’s rapid advancement in Spiritual Power!

And what is needed to advance Spiritual Power quickly?

Naturally... comprehension!

And comprehension of the Ancient Array requires precisely that comprehension!

After paying his respects again, Qin Yu then followed behind Luo Lizhu, which immediately drew numerous gazes.

Yet no one dared to imitate him.

They were not familiar with this Palace Envoy, naturally unable to strike up a conversation.

Secret Realm.

Not located within the Cyan Mist Hall’s region, but at the junction of several major domains.

It takes three days to reach it.

During this time, Qin Yu remained behind Luo Lizhu, and certainly learned some information about the Secret Realm from this Palace Envoy.

This so-called Secret Realm is a relic left behind by an ancient great force, it doesn’t belong to the current era, but exists within a small world opened by an ancient power.

According to the terminology of that period, it is called... Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

However, for unknown reasons, that great force was erased overnight by an unknown presence, and even the Spirit Vein within that Grotto Heaven Blessed Land was extracted.

Which led to the depletion of Spiritual Qi within, now it can no longer be considered a Grotto Heaven Blessed Land.

However, though it doesn’t qualify as a Blessed Land, it still retains some remnants of that great force within.

Such as the Ancient Array located there.

There might even be other things.
