Bodhi Falling Lotus

In the Azure Tide Secret Realm, the most precious spiritual items are the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch and the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid.

However, not all monks were eager to acquire them.

Some cultivators who considered themselves weak, knowing the dangers involved, would not venture into the underground world of the mountains, but instead would search for spirit medicine on the mountains.

These people often end their journey to the secret realm early and leave.

The secret realm has been open for more than twenty days, and so far only Song Wen and three others have survived and emerged alive.

This inevitably aroused suspicion among Yan Yuyan and the others who were waiting outside.

The Blissful Union Sect and the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect are on good terms. Mu Yunxin recognized Yan Yuyan and took the initiative to speak, replying.

"Disciple Mu Yunxin greets Senior Sword Sect Master Yan."

"Reporting to Senior, the third-tier Demon Beast, the Twin-Winged White Tiger, blocked the exit of the secret realm. The four of us worked together and devised a plan to lure the White Tiger away, which allowed us to escape the secret realm."

Mu Yunxin didn't mention a word about Xue Gu's death in the mouth of the White Tiger.

Yan Yuyan didn't suspect anything further and asked.

Have you ever seen a disciple of my Sword Sect?

"Reporting to Senior, in the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid Hall, I joined forces with Senior Brother Xue Gu and Ji Ruxue to compete for the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid. After that, we parted ways and never saw each other again."

Mu Yunxin said respectfully, her expression showing no sign of abnormality.

Her answer was not intended to exonerate Song Wen.

Even if she told the truth, with Tu Lian present, Yan Yuyan would have no chance of killing Song Wen.

On the contrary, her schemes against Xue Gu and Jie Ku will be exposed.

This caused some people within the Mysterious Heaven Sword Sect who were close to Xue Gu to harbor hatred towards her.

Song Wen and Rong Jingyun definitely wouldn't expose her.

As for Jie Ku, he had no relationship with Xue Gu. Without any benefit to him, he wouldn't expose her and truthfully tell Yan Yuyan about Xue Gu's death.

Having spent countless years in the Blissful Union Spring Night Tower, Mu Yunxin possessed an extraordinary understanding of human nature.

Upon hearing this, Yan Yuyan's expression turned icy, and she flew back to her own spaceship.

Once she left, the others also dispersed.

Hui Ming, carrying Jie Ku, flew towards the airship of Primordial Unity Temple, when suddenly the voice of Shu Qing from the Blissful Union Sect came from behind him.

"Master Hui Ming, please don't break your promise like you did yesterday. I'll be waiting for you in my room. Remember to come! Your teachings on Blissful Buddha Method are truly exquisite, and I find them incredibly delightful."

As she spoke, Shu Qing's eyes shone with a hint of unfulfilled desire.

Upon hearing this, Hui Ming's Rong Yi stiffened, and he touched his slightly weak lower back.

After fighting continuously for more than twenty days, even as a Golden Core cultivator, he was finding it difficult to withstand the other party's insatiable demands.

The Blissful Union Sect's Cultivation Method are not some kind of dual cultivation secret art; they are simply an evil art of absorbing yang energy to replenish yin.

However, the Blissful Buddha Method of Primordial Unity Temple is not weak either. Its exquisite method of absorbing yin to replenish yang is in no way inferior to the dual cultivation secrets of the Blissful Union Sect.

However, the opponent was a seasoned veteran, a master of all trades, and possessed a wealth of knowledge.

Hui Ming spent his days chanting sutras and reciting Buddhist prayers in the temple; how could he be a match for Shu Qing?

"Nephew Jie Ku, I have just returned from the secret realm. This humble monk has some questions to ask you. I will come to seek your guidance another day."

After saying that, Hui Ming fled straight towards his own spaceship.

Upon seeing this, Shu Qing's eyes showed a hint of disappointment and contempt.

On the Beast Taming Sect's spaceship.

Tu Lian asked Song Wen and Rong Jingyun.

"How did you two fare on this trip?"

Song Wen knew that she was asking if he and Rong Jingyun had found the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

According to the rules set by the Beast Taming Sect, apart from the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch, everything obtained within the secret realm belongs to the individual.

Song Wen raised his hand and flipped it over, taking out a jade box.

"I was fortunate enough to obtain one, but it's not very old."

As he spoke, he opened the jade box in his hand, revealing a four-leafed Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

Having previously entered the Withered Blood Secret Realm from the Corpse Demon Sect, he had already prepared a plan to avoid unnecessary trouble after leaving the secret realm.

Three ancient Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch; six portions of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid; Spirit Artifact and Cultivation Method obtained from killing—everything whose original owner could be identified was placed separately into a storage ring.

He used the same trick again, sealing the storage ring inside his heart.

In the storage ring he carried on his hand, there was only this four-leaf Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch and a bottle of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Liquid.

However, Song Wen's actions were unnecessary.

Tu Lian did not check his storage ring.

With a thought, Tu Lian unleashed a burst of spiritual energy, snatching the jade box from Song Wen's hand.

"Obtaining even a four-leafed Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch is extremely rare. Bring it back to your sect and cultivate it carefully for twenty years, and it can be used to refine Golden Core Pill. If the Alchemy is successful, you will receive a Golden Core Pill. With this core, one day you might even advance to the Golden Core stage."

Song Wen, his face flushed with excitement, cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your kind words, Senior Tu."

Tu Lian put away the jade box and turned to look at Rong Jingyun.

Rong Jingyun also held a jade box in her hand, which she respectfully handed to Tu Lian.

Tu Lian took the jade box, opened it, and saw a two-hundred-year-old Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

She nodded in satisfaction. "You did a good job."

After saying that, she turned and left.

From beginning to end, she showed no intention of checking Song Wen and Rong Jingyun's storage rings.

The sect will arrange for a third-tier Alchemist to refine the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch that have been handed over to them into Golden Core Pill.

Moreover, all the auxiliary medicines needed for Alchemy are provided by the sect.

Once successfully refined, the sect will allocate 40% to the person who finds the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

Under such conditions, normally no one would secretly possess the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

After all, those who enter the secret realm are all Foundation Establishment cultivators, and their Alchemy skills cannot possibly surpass those of a third-tier Alchemist.

The safest course of action is to hand over the Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch to the sect.

The spaceships of the four major sects and the Lei Clan hovered above the lake, waiting for the cultivators from each sect to return.

It wasn't until five days later that nine cultivators emerged from the secret realm hand in hand.

Of these nine people, two came from each of the four major sects, and one from the Lei Clan.

According to the nine people, they also encountered White Tiger.

They tried several times to lure the White Tiger away, but the White Tiger wouldn't fall for it and remained guarding the stone hall.

Later, another group of people got into a fight on the mountainside.

The lingering effects of the battle startled the White Tiger, which led to its White Tiger, allowing the nine people to escape.

After that, until the exit of the secret realm was closed, no cultivator ever left the secret realm alive.

This made the Golden Core cultivators from all the different factions look rather grim.

When the secret realm opens again, I'm afraid few cultivators will dare to enter the Azure Tide Secret Realm.

Tu Lian was in a pretty good mood.

Although only four members of the Beast Taming Sect survived and left the secret realm, this was nearly half the number of previous years.

However, it has the largest number of members among the five major forces.

Moreover, each of the three brought back a Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

Of the two who later emerged from the secret realm, one obtained a three-hundred-year-old Yin-Yang Blood-Weeping Branch.

This has already met the sect's expectations.

With a command from Tu Lian, the spaceship set off, returning to the Beast Taming Sect.

May all my fellow Daoists, in the year of Jia Chen, be able to maneuver freely, without any taboos, and do as you please, and may your fortunes prosper.

Dear Daoist masters, may your kidneys be healthy, your waist strong, and your physique robust, and may you possess the vigor of a dragon and the strength of a tiger.

Ladies, with fair skin and beautiful faces like delicate flowers, may your beauty last forever.
