"Tangyuan, give it to me!"

"I haven’t had enough yet!"

"How can you eat so fast!"

"Who are you blaming for eating slow?"

...

Tao Tao and Tangyuan were grabbing food on the table while arguing, which made Lin Feng feel amused watching from the side. This is what life should be like. He couldn’t help but think of the mischievous Ye Xiaoyu in the Cave Heaven Mansion. If Ye Xiaoyu were here, she would probably join Tao Tao and Tangyuan in the ruckus.

Before long, all the dishes on the table were snatched by Tangyuan and Tao Tao, while Lin Feng only had a grilled jade heart dragon, not touching anything else.

"It’s so delicious! What do I do if I haven’t had enough?" Tangyuan lay in a plate without any image, its little tongue flicking around its mouth, looking particularly cute!

"Not enough, you ate more than half of the table’s dishes, and it’s not enough?" Tao Tao rolled his eyes at Tangyuan and then took another bite of the grilled jade heart dragon in his hand.

"That’s because you eat slow, okay?" Tangyuan replied bluntly, making Tao Tao roll his eyes. With Tangyuan’s eating speed, who could compete?

"Alright, we should get going." Lin Feng said with a smile as he glanced at the bickering Tao Tao and Tangyuan. He then stood up, ready to leave. They had already spent too much time here, and he didn’t want to stay in Ning City too long.

Seeing Lin Feng stand up, Tangyuan and Tao Tao stopped arguing. Tangyuan jumped back onto Lin Feng’s shoulder, immediately hiding its form, while Tao Tao went to wash his hands and face, carefully checking for any issues before leaving with Lin Feng.

Outside the restaurant, the two walked on the street heading out of the city. Perhaps due to the shocking appearance of Qianye Ancestor, everyone on the road kept a distance from Lin Feng and Tao Tao, avoiding them like the plague, leaving Lin Feng and Tao Tao slightly speechless.

After exiting Ning City, under the lead of Tangyuan, who knew the area well, the two of them and the beast traveled west towards Ning King Valley.

By now, Lin Feng and Tao Tao were no longer who they used to be, so along the way, they didn’t shy away from other demon beasts. Typically, when ordinary demon beasts saw them, they would dodge immediately. However, many still dared to cause trouble. In such situations, Lin Feng didn’t step in and let Tao Tao handle it. Throughout the journey, they encountered dozens of Great Demons, all of which Tao Tao successfully defeated, greatly enhancing Tao Tao’s combat ability.

Tao Tao’s progress left Lin Feng very satisfied. Although Tao Tao suffered minor injuries initially while fighting demon beasts, later on, he faced some tricky Great Demons without fear, instead brimming with fighting spirit. This was especially important. Cultivation is the path against the heavens; without the spirit to struggle against adversity, progress is impossible. Furthermore, Tao Tao’s cultivation talent was genuinely remarkable.

On this day, while Lin Feng and Tao Tao were on their way, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, causing Tao Tao to become curious.

"Brother Lin, what’s wrong?" Tao Tao asked, puzzled by Lin Feng’s sudden halt.

"Someone’s injured, three hundred miles away!" Lin Feng said calmly, then immediately added, "Let’s go check it out!"

After speaking, Lin Feng moved, instantly using the Thousand Miles in One Step technique to cover the three hundred miles instantaneously, arriving beside two severely injured individuals. Tao Tao also locked onto the location and used the Thousand Miles in One Step technique taught by Lin Feng to catch up quickly.

They saw two severely injured men on the ground. One had a terrifying gash almost splitting his body, while the other’s left shoulder was missing, leaving a massive wound. Their breaths were incredibly weak, almost at death’s door.

Lin Feng’s brow slightly furrowed. He could tell these wounds weren’t inflicted by demon beasts, but by humans. In this area teeming with demon beasts, such severe injuries usually meant a death sentence. What kind of grudge led to them being hurt so gravely?

Stepping forward, Lin Feng first fed one of them an elixir, then slightly moved his fingers, instantly sending strands of Gang Qi into the body, making this person open his eyes shortly after.

Upon waking up, this person saw Lin Feng and Tao Tao appear, and was temporarily stunned. Regaining his senses, he immediately tried to get up, but his injuries were too severe, leaving him without strength to rise. Helplessly, he could only lie down and smile apologetically at Lin Feng and Tao Tao, saying, "Thank you for saving me, friend. I... I am deeply grateful, Dong Datian!"

"It’s nothing. What happened to you?" Seeing this person awake, Lin Feng asked calmly.

"Friend, please look at my brother Dong Dadi, I don’t want him to die..." Dong Datian did not answer Lin Feng’s question but pleaded for Lin Feng to save his brother, his eyes filled with hope. He knew that in this forest, if Lin Feng did not save his brother, the two of them could not survive.

Upon hearing this, Lin Feng nodded and said nothing further, using the same method to treat the heavily injured Dong Dadi. Soon, Dong Dadi also opened his eyes, looking at Lin Feng with the same confusion, wondering if he was already dead and had encountered ghosts.

"Brother!" Dong Datian saw Dong Dadi wake up and immediately exclaimed joyfully, tears flowing from his eyes. The two brothers had escaped this catastrophe, a great chance, bringing him tears of joy.

"Brother!" Hearing Dong Datian’s voice, Dong Dadi immediately turned his gaze over, also extremely happy. He now realized he wasn’t dead but had been saved. Thinking of surviving, he was so pleased that he did not know what to say.

But at this moment, Lin Feng’s calm voice was heard.

"Now can you tell me what happened?" Lin Feng asked the two brothers calmly, feeling genuinely puzzled. From his Divine Sense search, there was no one within hundreds of miles around except these two heavily injured people, whose injuries were not accidental, indicating someone else had attacked them. Lin Feng wanted to figure out what was truly the matter.

The Dong brothers glanced at each other, and then Dong Datian sighed, saying to Lin Feng and Tao Tao, "My brother and I are rootless loose cultivators, living by hunting demon beasts in the forest. Half a month ago, we discovered a very precious demon beast, the Purple Qilin Jade Horse. This demon beast is an excellent mount, capturing it could fetch a good price, so the two of us started setting traps and ambushes, and finally, we caught the Purple Qilin Jade Horse."

"But just as we were joyously preparing to lead the Purple Qilin Jade Horse to Ning King Valley for sale, we encountered a young man on the road wearing a blue robe and carrying a red longsword on his back. Upon seeing the Purple Qilin Jade Horse, without saying a word, he immediately attacked us. His power was truly too strong; within moments, he defeated us and left us severely wounded like this. I suspect he must be from Ning King Valley; no one not from there could possess such exaggerated strength."

What Dong Datian said was clear and Lin Feng easily understood the situation. It was simply a robbery. In this realm where strength is revered, such occurrences were common. However, Lin Feng was quite curious about the young man with the red longsword; although neither of these two were Divine Origin Realm powerhouses, their strength was not low, both at the Opening Epoch Realm Peak!

So, he found it strange that someone with such powers could almost instantly defeat these two and yet come to this forest for what purpose? The most powerful demon beast here was equivalent to Divine Origin Realm Middle Stage. If it’s for honing skills, coming here would be a waste of time.

While Lin Feng pondered these matters, Dong Dadi suddenly remembered something and hurriedly said to Lin Feng, "By the way, before I fainted, I vaguely heard that guy say something about being lucky, about reaching somewhere near a Secret Realm soon and having such a harvest..."

Secret Realm?

Upon hearing Dong Dadi’s words, Lin Feng’s eyes lit up immediately. Sure enough, something was amiss. Not only Lin Feng, but even Tao Tao beside him showed a bright expression; she had never seen a Secret Realm, only heard Lin Feng talk about it. If they were fortunate enough to explore a Secret Realm, it would indeed broaden their horizons.

Taking a look at the Dong brothers lying on the ground, Lin Feng said no more, took out two ordinary healing pills, gave them to the two, and then left with Tao Tao.

After the two had walked a few miles, Lin Feng suddenly stopped, shrugged his shoulders to wake up the sleeping Tangyuan, and asked, "Is there a Secret Realm around here?"

"Secret Realm? What Secret Realm?" Tangyuan, who had just revealed its form, was still groggy. Hearing Lin Feng say this all of a sudden, it asked blankly, puzzled by Lin Feng’s words, thinking whether the boss was crazy to suddenly utter such a sentence.

"Tangyuan, have a good look around this area, see if there might be a Secret Realm!" At this moment, Tao Tao, without any politeness, grabbed Tangyuan’s ear, and tossed it into the sky. The round Tangyuan instantly flew up like a ball, reaching hundreds of feet high in a blink.

Tossed by Tao Tao, the still dazed Tangyuan snapped awake, eyes bulging, quickly releasing its demon energy to stabilize its form, almost scared to death by Tao Tao’s action. If it couldn’t fly, dropping would turn it into a meat pancake!

Fully awake, Tangyuan finally responded to Lin Feng and Tao Tao’s remarks, not daring to delay, and instantly began inspecting the surrounding terrain, pondering how it could be unaware if a Secret Realm were here...
