Blocking the Way

Lin Xiao followed his gaze and saw the jade pendant at his waist, which was engraved with the two characters 'Tianxuan'.

So he reached out and took off the jade pendant, then nodded to him and said:

"We will find your fellow disciples as soon as possible. Hang in there."

Sun Yigao took out all the dry rations he had, broke them into small pieces, and placed them near these people with a cloth. He also opened his water bag and placed it next to the man.

Lin Xiao glanced at Venerable Pantu, said nothing, and turned to leave with Sun Yigao.

On the way, Lin Xiao asked Sun Yigao:

Do you regret taking this path?

Sun Yigao shook his head.

"I think I'm glad I chose this path."

Lin Xiao smiled and said nothing more; the two then left the valley.

Now that Lin Xiao has the Heart of the Secret Realm in his hands, finding someone within this secret realm is a piece of cake.

After thinking for a moment, he used the Heart of the Secret Realm to locate Yuan Qing and Xu Juan.

After all, he didn't know anyone else, and it seemed that the two of them were generally reliable people.

Having grasped the Heart of the Secret Realm, Lin Xiao finally realized just how vast this Green Field Mystic Realm truly was.

The entire secret realm is diamond-shaped, narrow at both ends and wide in the middle.

The Spirit Heart Valley they had just emerged from was the very center of the entire secret realm.

Lin Xiao didn't have time to carefully observe the situation in the secret realm. He only glanced at the direction where Yuan Qing and the other person were before rushing over there.

Although he felt that Venerable Pantu wouldn't do anything more to those people.

But his gut feeling was that it was better to go back sooner.

Thanks to the Heart of the Secret Realm, the two encountered no obstacles along the way.

All the Demon Beast beasts that encountered them gave way.

Lin Xiao's initial idea of gaining experience for himself and Sun Yigao when he first entered this place was immediately thwarted.

However, he tried to console himself, thinking that experiencing these hardships on the path of cultivation was a kind of training, wasn't it?

With a clear direction and no obstacles in sight, Lin Xiao and his companion moved forward at a rapid pace.

I thought we'd find the person and get back soon, but we still ran into an obstacle.

Lin Xiao and Sun Yigao were stopped by two men who were resting by a stream in a small forest.

The two men were dressed in dark yellow robes, appeared to be around twenty years old, and both had the cultivation level of the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer Refining.

One of them said:

"Oh, you guys aren't even wearing sect uniforms? You must be a bunch of idiots from the Heavenly Profound Sect."

The other man sized up Lin Xiao and his companion with a greedy look in his eyes. He first shouted to Sun Yigao:

"You kid, you look only fifteen or sixteen years old, yet you already have the cultivation level of the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer Refining. Do you perhaps possess some cultivation secrets? Or some Law Treasure?"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted and he fixed his eyes on Lin Xiao, then smiled arrogantly:

"Mortals? Impossible. This secret realm can only be entered by those at the Qi Refining. You must have some kind of magical Law Treasure that can conceal your cultivation level. Haha! I'm truly blessed by the heavens to have encountered two fat sheep like you here!"

Sun Yigao remained silent.

Why do all the outside cultivators he's encountered so far seem a bit abnormal?

Is everyone in the Immortal Cultivation Realm like this? Instead of focusing on cultivation, they spend their days doing things completely unrelated to the path of cultivation...

This is quite different from the image of an immortal he has always held in his mind.

Lin Xiao, on the other hand, was somewhat excited.

The test has begun!

Start gaining fighting experience by farming these experience packs!

So he winked at Sun Yigao:

"Yigao, the one on the right is yours!"

As he spoke, he leaped and pounced on the person on his left.

Law Technique - Mount Tai Presses Down!

With a loud 'bang,' the man on the left was tackled to the ground, his mouth full of dry leaves and mud.

Fortunately, this person was already at the Qi Refinement Seventh Layer Refining, so he didn't completely faint from the blow. The moment Lin Xiao got up, he used Minor Rejuvenation Technique on himself, preparing to stand up and fight Lin Xiao, but found that he couldn't move.

He quickly channeled his Spiritual Power to break through Lin Xiao's Body Immobilization Technique. Then, in the short time that he was delayed, Lin Xiao unleashed another Mount Tai Presses Down on him!

Bang--!

Sun Yigao, standing to the side, watched Lin Xiao playing with great enthusiasm, then glanced at his opponent on the right.

The opponent was stunned for a moment when he saw Lin Xiao's attack. He then turned to run, only to find that his whole body was locked up by a bunch of Spiritual Power threads!

Sun Yigao followed Lin Xiao's example, giving no one a chance to open up, and used Hypnosis Technique on the person the moment he locked them in place.

Of all the Law Technique Lin Xiao created, he believed that Hypnosis Technique was the one he used with the lowest probability.

This trick is ineffective for people who are mentally focused.

However, the cultivator Sun Yigao was dealing with clearly did not expect that he would have such a hypnotic method. The moment he was locked by the Spiritual Power threads, his mind went blank, and before he could react, he fell asleep.

Clearly, Sun Yigao was still not used to hitting people, so he chose this relatively mild method.

But it wasn't the case for Lin Xiao.

The other person was knocked unconscious by Lin Xiao.

Seeing the two lying on the ground, Sun Yigao was worried that they might be carried away by some wild beast, so he moved them to a tree, sprinkled some realgar powder around them, and even cast a Eye-Obscuring Law.

Then the two of them, feeling refreshed, continued their journey.

As he traveled, Lin Xiao pondered the battle he had just fought.

Okay, that doesn't count as a fight, that's called a one-sided beating.

Lin Xiao wondered, "I'm only slightly stronger than my opponent, so why is it so easy for me to beat him like cutting vegetables?"

Even if you don't look at him, the same goes for Sun Yigao.

They were both at the same level of Qi Refinement Seventh Layer.

To say they acted out of surprise wouldn't be entirely true.

Given the same cultivation level, even if someone gains an unexpected advantage, the situation shouldn't be such a one-sided and overwhelming defeat.

Moreover, he had just sensed that these Qi Refining cultivators had relatively simple attack methods.

Lin Xiao wondered, could it be that they are indeed stronger than these cultivators of the same level?

Not only in Law Technique, but perhaps in mental cultivation as well.

If you have the chance, you must try to get some cultivation methods from other sects.

Let's see what level of mental techniques they mainly use.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiao suddenly remembered that the Venerable Pantu had mentioned that he would teach Sun Yigao his own unique cultivation method or something?

It seems to be some kind of Earth Rank Low Grade...

After traveling all night, Lin Xiao and his companions finally found Yuan Qing and his companion.

They are picking purple berries from a tree.

Seeing the two of them, Yuan Qing was very puzzled:

"May I ask what brings you two to us?"

Xu Juan, standing beside him, gripped his sword more tightly, looking somewhat wary.

Lin Xiao asked directly:

"You two are both from the Heavenly Profound Sect, right? I wonder if your sect always loses one or two people who enter this secret realm each year and don't come out?"
