The "NTR" Secret Realm!

The next day!

The morning sunlight filtered through the bamboo leaves, casting its rays onto the bluestone slabs of the Hengyang Sect.

Ye Jing got up early and began his new day of cultivation.

He knew that if he wanted to become stronger, he had to put in more effort than others.

However, cultivation is not always smooth sailing.

Ye Jing tried countless times, but he still couldn't sense the presence of Spiritual Qi.

He was filled with frustration and disappointment; even his tutor had given up on him and skipped over him during instruction!

Just then, Lin Xuan walked over and, seeing Ye Jing's dejected look, smiled slightly and said, "Ye Jing, it's alright. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me!"

Ye Jing raised his head, a glimmer of hope flashing in his eyes. "Really? Lin Xuan, can you teach me cultivation?"

Lin Xuan nodded, his eyes shining with determination. "Of course, I will do my best to help you. Cultivation is not something that can be achieved overnight; it requires patience and perseverance. You must believe in yourself and believe in the possibilities of the future."

"Lin Xuan, what are you doing? Come here! Don't waste your time on useless people!" the instructor suddenly shouted from afar.

Ye Jing's heart sank again!

"I'm not wasting time, I'm talking to my best friend, I'll be right there!" Lin Xuan turned and replied.

"Friends?" Ye Jing's heart stirred, and a warmth rose within him!

He sensed Lin Xuan's sincerity!

Yes, everyone else hasn't given up, so how could he?

Ye Jing's frustration gradually dissipated, replaced by a new hope and motivation.

"Don't rush your cultivation, take it slow. Don't treat Spiritual Qi as just Spiritual Qi; try treating it like a friend, be natural..."

Under Lin Xuan's guidance, Ye Jing began to re-examine his cultivation methods.

Several more days passed!

A small wisp of Spiritual Qi finally appeared in Ye Jing's Dantian!

This Spiritual Qi was like a thin thread, weak and fragile, but in Ye Jing's perception, it was like a dazzling star, full of endless hope and possibilities.

He was so excited he could hardly contain himself; this was the first time he had truly felt the existence of Spiritual Qi since he began cultivating.

He knew that this was the result of his persistence and hard work, and also a reward for Lin Xuan's selfless help.

Ye Jing clenched his fists tightly, his eyes shining with determination. He knew this was just the beginning, and he still had a long way to go, but he could already see the light at the end of the tunnel, which would be the driving force for him to keep going.

"Lin Xuan, I did it! I can feel the presence of Spiritual Qi!" Ye Jing excitedly found Lin Xuan!

His voice was filled with excitement and pride.

Lin Xuan smiled at Ye Jing, his eyes full of admiration and encouragement. "Congratulations, Ye Jing, this is an important milestone on your cultivation path. But remember, this is just the beginning. You must continue to work hard and not become arrogant or complacent."

"I see!"

Ye Jing nodded heavily; he knew Lin Xuan was right.

He sensed the presence of Spiritual Qi, but this did not mean that he had become a true cultivator.

He still has much to learn and improve upon; he must remain humble and work hard to go further on this path.

In the days that followed, Ye Jing seemed like a completely different person.

Time flew by unnoticed, and in the blink of an eye, Ye Jing had been cultivating at the Hengyang Sect for a year.

His strength level has risen to the Eighth Heaven of Qi Refining. Although his fellow disciples at the same level have already entered the Innate Realm, Lin Xuan has even entered the Grandmaster Realm!

But he wasn't discouraged!

As long as one can cultivate, it doesn't matter how poor one's talent is!

One day, he will catch up!

Throughout the year, he experienced countless difficulties and setbacks, but he never gave up.

He firmly believes that as long as he works hard, he will definitely succeed.

All of this is thanks to Lin Xuan's help and support.

Lin Xuan stayed by his side, offering encouragement and guidance, which kept him from giving up.

Therefore, Ye Jing felt immense gratitude and admiration for Lin Xuan.

One day!

Ye Jing and Lin Xuan walked together on the road of the Hengyang Sect, discussing their cultivation insights and experiences.

Suddenly, a group of young people dressed in fancy clothes walked over, their eyes filled with arrogance and disdain.

"Lin Xuan, is this the good-for-nothing you've been following along with?" one of them mocked. "It's laughable that you actually consider him a friend. Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"

"He's not your friend, he's your son, right?"

"I think so, otherwise why would she be willing to be with a good-for-nothing!"

Ye Jing's face immediately darkened; he knew these people were deliberately provoking and insulting him.

But he didn't react; instead, he stood silently beside Lin Xuan, not wanting to cause him any trouble!

Lin Xuan looked at the group of people, a cold glint in his eyes. "He is my friend, and I am willing to be with him. Moreover, don't underestimate him; he is also working hard in his cultivation, and one day he will surpass you all."

"Surpass us?" The group burst into laughter. "What a joke! A piece of trash who can't even reach the Innate Realm wants to surpass us? What a pipe dream!"

A flash of anger crossed Ye Jing's eyes, but he managed to suppress it.

The group of elegantly dressed people laughed for a while and then left.

"Alright, Ye Jing, let's go. Don't worry about it!" Lin Xuan said.

Ye Jing clenched his fists tightly, a resolute glint in his eyes!

"Lin Xuan, I want to leave the sect. I'm going to seek fortuitous opportunity. I've heard that there are spirit medicine in the Blessed Land outside that can change one's Root Bone. I'm going to go find them. I don't want to be a burden to you anymore. You should focus wholeheartedly on cultivation. You should have left here long ago and gone to a wider world!"

Ye Jing said very seriously.

Lin Xuan was taken aback, then laughed with relief, "You brat, what's this about being a burden? Aren't we friends? Friends shouldn't talk like that!"

"But I support you, I support you in finding your own fortuitous opportunity."

"See you at the summit!"

Lin Xuan extended his hand!

"Alright, see you at the summit!"

Ye Jing gripped Lin Xuan's hand tightly, his eyes shining with determination. He knew this was a promise he made to himself, and also a promise he made to Lin Xuan.

The next day!

He then left the Hengyang Sect!

I embarked on a solo journey.

Within three months, he had gained nothing!

However, his perseverance paid off, and he finally stumbled upon a peerless Secret Realm where he encountered a stone statue!

It says that as long as he kowtows three times and becomes his disciple, he will receive a heaven-defying fortune and an unparalleled divine weapon!

But suddenly, just as he was about to kowtow...

A hand pierced his heart, and his face was filled with despair. But when he saw the owner of the hand, his blood turned cold faster!

"It's you? Lin Xuan?"

"Why can't it be me? Why do you think I'd be friends with someone as lowly as you? Do you really think I'm that kind? I'm the young master of the wealthy Lin Clan!" Lin Xuan shook the blood off his hands.

"That's because a powerful being in our clan foresaw that you would have a great fortuitous opportunity, so they befriended you. What an amazing divine weapon! It's even more powerful than our clan's guardian weapon!"

"It's mine now! All that pretense wasn't for nothing!"

Lin Xuan knelt down in front of Ye Jing!

Snap!

Dream shattered!

Ye Jing slowly opened his eyes and couldn't help but curse!

What the hell is this Minotaur dream?
