Returning with a Full Load

This scene completely startled Xue Fuyao.

Aside from shock, she also felt some pleasant surprise-was this the cultivation speed of a top-tier talent and top-tier constitution?

No wonder everyone envied the Heavenly Pride; such a cultivation speed truly made people envious.

Xue Fuyao did not cultivate for too long, stopping only after she raised her cultivation to the Qi Refining, Fifth Layer.

With the memories of her past life, she knew better than anyone that a solid foundation determined an upper limit for a cultivator.

Xue Fuyao had cultivated from an ordinary person with no cultivation to the Qi Refining, Fifth Layer in a short period of time, and she needed a period of time to properly consolidate it. Otherwise, an unstable foundation would undoubtedly be self-destruction.

Of course, it was also because her current cultivation speed was truly too fast, making her feel somewhat dazed and unable to believe it to this day.

After she stopped cultivating, she was not idle either, starting to collect the cultivation resources in the Moonview Mountain Secret Realm-spirit grasses, spirit fruits, and spirit medicines, she let none of them go.

She had no way to take the Secret Realm away, and if she left it here, it would be discovered sooner or later. Even without that Pioneer Squad, the Moonview Mountain Secret Realm would sooner or later manifest on its own.

Xue Fuyao was just like a swarm of locusts passing through, not letting go of even a sliver of opportunity. After all, besides using these things herself, she also had to give them to Shadow One and the others.

Although she had already decided to let Shadow One and the others go free after leaving the Secret Realm, letting them venture out into the world and improve their strength.

This sounded somewhat cruel, but in the Cultivation Realm, compared to those rogue cultivators who truly had nothing at all, this was already very good. At least they still had companions, and Xue Fuyao would not truly leave them to fend for themselves.

On the contrary, continuing to stay by her side would not only be of no help, but might also drag her down.

As for fearing that Shadow One and the others would betray her after obtaining powerful strength, Xue Fuyao was not worried about this matter.

Not to mention that Shadow One and the others were loyal retainers raised by Imperial Father, and would absolutely have no problems regarding loyalty, let alone that in her past life, these people had all died to save her.

Even though the future of this lifetime had already changed, Xue Fuyao was not worried that they would turn traitor, because...

That token from back then had appeared in her hands.

At first she only thought this was an ordinary token, but after fusing with the Heavenly Eye, she discovered that this token was not ordinary; the auras of Shadow One through Shadow Fifty were fused upon it.

Back then when she used her blood to prove her identity, this token had already bound itself to her.

Without the slightest exaggeration, relying on this token, Xue Fuyao could freely decide the life and death of those fifty people, Shadow One and the others.

As long as Shadow One and the others did not betray her, this token would not cause any restrictions on them, but if they betrayed her, what consequences would follow was something she did not know.

Half a month later, Xue Fuyao arrived inside a valley, and she instinctively activated the Heavenly Eye to take a look inside.

Through this period of refinement, the Heavenly Eye had completely fused with her. When using it, the Heavenly Eye on her forehead would not manifest; instead, a trace of subtle golden light would flash extremely quickly across her eyes.

"So it's here."

When she saw the situation inside the valley clearly, Xue Fuyao could not help murmuring out loud.

This valley was precisely the valley that possessed the Immortal Spring, and at this moment inside the valley, Shadow One and the others were soaking their bodies within it, their eyes tightly closed, while the surrounding spiritual Qi continually poured into their bodies, remaking their physiques.

Seeing this, Xue Fuyao did not go in to disturb them, instead turning around and walking toward another direction.

The Moonview Mountain Secret Realm was a natural secret realm, and there were no inheritances left behind by an Ancient Great Power inside it. The most plentiful things here were various high-aged spirit medicines.

Aside from this, she had also found a Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure, but it was merely a semi-finished product, which fell far short of being compared with the Heavenly Eye.

Even so, if this Water Silk were placed outside, it would still absolutely be an existence that everyone fought over head and tail.

The Water Silk was a defensive Heaven-and-Earth Spirit Treasure that would automatically form a shield around the master when they were attacked.

Water was the softest yet strongest thing in this world, and in terms of defensive power, it completely crushed those defensive-type Dharma Treasures she had previously obtained.

Spending another half a month to refine the Water Silk, Shadow One and the others finally walked out from the valley at this moment.

Although they did not have overly large changes in their appearance from the outside at this time, on the inside they had already undergone a complete rebirth, and even their facial features had undergone subtle changes. The marks left on their bodies during past training and when executing missions had all vanished, and even the thin calluses on their fingers had disappeared.

Most importantly, they had all drawn Qi into their bodies.

Xue Fuyao looked at the changes in Shadow One and the others, and a satisfied smile appeared on her face. "Not bad."

luego She then handed the storage spaces she had prepared long ago to each person.

Fortunately that Great Power had a hobby of collecting, otherwise this storage space truly could not have achieved one for each person.

"Inside here are the things I have prepared for you."

They had known Xue Fuyao's intentions early on, and now seeing these items, a group of grown men were all teary-eyed with emotion.

"Your Highness, we will definitely not live up to your expectations." The one who took the lead in expressing his stance was Ying Qi.

The others also nodded continuously. "We will definitely cultivate well, and then protect Your Highness's safety."

"I am waiting for you to fulfill your promises of today. There are quite a few sects in the Cultivation Realm; you may choose to join them, but you must remember to always leave yourselves a way out, and do not trust any one person too much. The Cultivation Realm is far more dangerous than the Mortal Realm."

Xue Fuyao did not wish to lose these Shadow Guards once again, and thus she instinctively exhorted them.

In the time that followed, Shadow One and the others began to scour the cultivation resources in the Secret Realm together with Xue Fuyao.

In the words of Your Highness, these resources were all their backing for walking about in the Cultivation Realm in the future.

By the time they finished scouring the entire Moonview Mountain Secret Realm from top to bottom, a full month had already passed.

The party returning with a full load finally chose to leave the Secret Realm.

At this time, Xue Fuyao's cultivation had already reached the Qi Refining Stage, Sixth Layer, and the cultivation of Shadow One and the others had also reached around the Qi Refining Stage, Third Layer.

Re-entering Moonview Mountain, they no longer possessed the kind of tension they had at the very beginning. Because they had cultivation, they finally also possessed the courage to contend with the demonic beasts here.

Xue Fuyao still took that strangely shaped tree away, considering it as a keepsake.

During the excavation process, Shadow Eleven once again accidentally shoveled onto the root system, but this time nothing happened at all.

Through the observation of the Heavenly Eye, the entrance to the Moonview Mountain Secret Realm was no longer here at this time.

After descending the mountain, Shadow One and the others discussed it, and Shadow One, Shadow Two, Shadow Three, Ying Si, and Shadow Five-five people-were responsible for escorting Xue Fuyao to Cloud City, while the remaining people split up and acted on the spot.
