Aren't There Enough Spirit Stones?

"Senior brother, get out, quick!"

Yu Yu covered herself and threw a towel straight at him, but then she suddenly remembered it was the only thing she had in her hands. Now she had nothing to cover herself with, so she hurriedly shouted.

Lin Ye was dumbfounded too. He had set his location to the Black-Yellow Sect, so how had he ended up in his junior sister's room? And at this moment, she was actually...

What was going on?

"I'm leaving right now!"

Lin Ye immediately opened the door, went out, and shut it behind him.

A while later, Yu Yu came out fully dressed and glared at Lin Ye. "Senior brother, you actually..."

"Junior sister, this wasn't my fault." Lin Ye explained what had happened, telling her how he had seized a secret realm and had only landed in her room by coincidence. It was an accident.

Yu Yu thought about it. Her door seemed to have been locked, and her senior brother really had appeared out of nowhere. It must have been an accident.

To convince her, he opened the secret realm again and took her inside. This time, his junior sister was completely convinced.

"But you saw me!" Yu Yu was still furious, her cheeks puffed out.

Lin Ye had no defense, because he really had seen her. Though his junior sister was young, she was quite well endowed, but he couldn't say that, or she would fight him to the death!

After he comforted and persuaded her again and again, and promised to take her out to have fun and eat delicious food in the future, her anger finally eased somewhat.

"Senior brother, I want to enter the secret realm to train too."

"All right."

Lin Ye agreed.

Soon.

Lin Ye called several of his disciples over and told them that the sect now had a secret realm, which they could enter to train whenever they wished. The secret realm contained many Demon Beasts, spirit medicines, and other treasures.

"A secret realm!!!"

Ye Chen and the others were shocked. With a secret realm, wouldn't they have all the resources they needed? Each of them began preparing to enter it. The ordinary outer sect disciples' cultivation was too low, so Lin Ye didn't let them enter, but if any outer sect disciples broke through to the True Qi Realm in the future, they could enter as well.

Back in his room.

Lin Ye opened the system, and a notification appeared at once.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for successfully seizing a secret realm. The host is awarded 50,000 Devil Dao Points!"

The moment he saw the reward of 50,000 Devil Dao Points, Lin Ye grew excited. This haul far surpassed any he had made before. He could even buy a divine art or a Divine Ability, but he still didn't exchange his points for one. If he did so now, he would have to cultivate it himself, and he had no desire to do that.

I'll wait until my disciples grow stronger and let them cultivate it. Then I can just receive tenfold feedback. Lin Ye had thought it through. His disciples would have to break through to at least the Innate Realm before they were qualified to cultivate a divine art, wouldn't they?

So there was no need to rush now.

Two days later.

Ye Chen, Dongfang Rou, Yang Yang, Han Bing, and the sixth disciple, Chu He, entered the secret realm as well. Chu He's cultivation was somewhat lower, and he had yet to break through to the True Qi Realm, but he wasn't easy to kill. If anything, he was the safest of them all.

Lin Ye had also fully refined the secret realm stone and could use it to observe what was happening inside the secret realm. If a disciple really encountered danger, he could come to the rescue at once.

The Supreme Simplicity Sect.

The True Qi Realm disciple competition was still in full swing. Relying on his Supreme Simplicity Sword Technique at the perfected level, a move or two of Bixie Swordsmanship, and the Demonic Shadow Clone Technique, Dongfang Bai thoroughly trounced many of the sect's True Qi Realm disciples and gradually fought his way into the top hundred.

But his cultivation was low, after all. He was only at the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm, and defeating disciples at the Ninth Layer of the True Qi Realm was difficult. So when he reached sixtieth place, he was eliminated.

After his elimination, Li Xuansu came over to comfort him. "Not bad. You're only at the Second Layer of the True Qi Realm, yet you placed sixtieth in our Supreme Simplicity Sect's True Qi Realm disciple competition. Once your cultivation rises a few layers, you'll definitely be able to reach the top ten. Also, you've already perfected the Supreme Simplicity Sword Technique, so you need to switch to a good sword technique. Our Supreme Yin Peak's Twelve Swords of Supreme Yin is quite good, and your reward from this competition is enough to exchange for it."

"Yes, Elder!"

Dongfang Bai soon exchanged his reward for the Twelve Swords of Supreme Yin. It was a top-tier, high-grade profound-rank sword technique, much better than the mid-grade profound-rank Supreme Simplicity Sword Technique, though it still couldn't compare to Bixie Swordsmanship.

Of course, to serve as an inside agent, he still had to find time to cultivate the Twelve Swords of Supreme Yin. He could only use a move or two of Bixie Swordsmanship occasionally, and he could fool the Supreme Simplicity Sect by claiming they were sword moves from a fragment he had obtained by chance.

Several more days passed, and the Supreme Simplicity Sect's True Qi Realm disciple competition came to an end. The exact rankings of the top hundred had been decided, and those hundred would enter the Supreme Simplicity Sect's trial secret realm.

Soon afterward, Huang Qin, the Supreme Simplicity Sect's master, personally brought several elders and a hundred disciples to the trial secret realm.

"Has anything happened here at the trial secret realm?" Huang Qin asked.

"Sect Master, it's been very quiet here. Nothing has happened," an elder stationed there reported.

Among the crowd, Dongfang Bai heard that nothing had happened here and knew that his master probably had no designs on the place. That made sense: no matter how formidable his master was, he was an Innate Realm cultivator at most, and was unlikely to be a grandmaster. Even a grandmaster wouldn't dare make a move against the Supreme Simplicity Sect's trial secret realm, nor could one take possession of it!

"Put in the Spirit Stones and activate the secret realm gate."

Huang Qin gave the order.

"Yes!"

Several elders placed a large number of Spirit Stones on the secret realm gate and used them to activate it.

Boom!!!!

The secret realm gate shone as it attempted to open the spatial node, but apart from the gate glowing, the passage to the secret realm did not appear.

"Did we put in too few Spirit Stones?"

"Bullshit! Last time, just 300 Low-Grade Spirit Stones were enough. This time, we put in a full 500, so there should have been some left over. But look, all 500 Low-Grade Spirit Stones have been used up, and there's still no response."

The two elders began arguing.

Huang Qin walked over and frowned. "Perhaps the space in the secret realm has grown somewhat more stable. That can happen. Put in more Spirit Stones. This time, use 1,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones and activate the secret realm gate with all your strength."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The elders continued adding Spirit Stones, putting in 1,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones at once. The secret realm gate blazed with light, but it only glowed; nothing else changed.

"Sect Master, it still isn't working. Should we keep adding Spirit Stones?" an elder asked Huang Qin.

Huang Qin had mounted a tiger and couldn't get off. If they stopped now, the Spirit Stones they had already spent would have been wasted, and they would become a laughingstock before the disciples. So she gritted her teeth and said, "Keep adding Spirit Stones. This time, 5,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones."

But the elders looked embarrassed. "Sect Master, we don't have enough Spirit Stones. We didn't bring that many."

"I have some." Huang Qin took out all the Spirit Stones she had on her, and only then did they manage to gather 5,000 Low-Grade Spirit Stones. They put them all in and activated the secret realm gate.

Boom!!!!

The secret realm gate trembled, and everyone thought it was working, but it merely trembled once. Even after all the Spirit Stones in the gate were exhausted, the secret realm still hadn't opened.

This time, Huang Qin was so furious that she spat blood on the spot!
