Harvest Your Own Leeks

Last night's beast tide claimed countless lives.

Although a person dies, their soul dissipates.

But those lights don't stay in one place; they often remain there.

Even those who receive no light can become a ray of light after they die.

These lights can be attracted and made your own simply by bringing your own imprint close to the past.

In this way, you can obtain the light simply by walking around and searching.

Saves time and effort.

Nothing makes you happier than finding something for free.

If it exists, it can only be a freebie.

In the city.

"Has it gotten so late again without me realizing it?"

After dismantling the formation, Lu Changzhi glanced at the sky.

It was now nearly noon.

To be honest, my sleep quality is actually quite good.

Sensing the presence of Gu Chen and his group, it was discovered that they weren't in the city, but rather on the ground not far away, where a line of text had been left behind.

"Master, we've gone out to search for spirit beasts."

Lu Changzhi smiled slightly at this.

He's truly my disciple; he understands me perfectly.

As my thoughts spread outwards, I could sense that there were arrays left around. Judging from the aura, they were clearly illusion arrays, combined with defensive arrays, temporarily isolating this place from the surrounding area.

"System."

Lu Changzhi called out.

"Displays the locations of the disciples."

As the sound faded, a beam of light pointed into the distance.

It's not too far.

Lu Changzhi thought for a moment, then sat down again.

I won't go there myself; they can come to me if they encounter any problems.

As for the present, let's continue to collect the opportunities that we didn't finish collecting yesterday.

Just as Lu Changzhi was about to shift his attention there, he heard a system notification:

"Random quests are available for purchase. Do you want to purchase?"

"Yes."

Lu Changzhi spoke up.

This is my first random quest since entering the secret realm.

I wonder what will randomly appear.

If I were to go back to the Five Symbols Sect to chat...

That's probably unlikely.

The sound faded, then a flash of light appeared, and relevant information popped up.

[Harvest Your Own Leeks Yourself]

[Mission Objective: To ascertain the specific circumstances of Qin Jiuxiao's impending doom and prevent him from dying at the hands of others.]

[Task Restriction: Completed by the main character or External Avatar.]

[Task deadline: Within one day.]

"Um?"

Lu Changzhi raised an eyebrow.

"The system's started using the term 'leek' now."

To be honest, the name of this mission is quite fitting.

Thinking about it, I did indeed see a bloody disaster on Qin Jiuxiao before I came to the secret realm.

Check the time limit given by the system for the task.

"Only within one day?"

Lu Changzhi's gaze narrowed slightly.

In that sense, Qin Jiuxiao's time is almost up.

"System, give me Qin Jiuxiao's location."

Lu Changzhi called out.

As the voice faded, the system voice sounded:

"Involves random task objectives, currently being displayed."

Brush.

A ray of light appeared, extending into the distance.

"That's actually possible."

Lu Changzhi said softly.

This saves me a lot of time.

Adhering to the principle of using it as much as possible, Lu Changzhi asked again:

"System, between me and my External Avatar, who is closer to him?"

This time, the system responded immediately:

"Reporting to Master, the External Avatar is closer to the target."

Lu Changzhi nodded, not intending to ask any more questions, but the system took the initiative to speak:

"Integrating information on the External Avatar, Qin Jiuxiao, and opportunities to plan the path, please wait..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Changzhi smiled like a loving father.

The system is getting more and more sensible.

Soon after, the route was planned out.

Attention shifts to the External Avatar.

Start!

A hidden realm, nestled in the jungle.

"We need a place to stay, otherwise, even we wouldn't be able to survive a few more nights."

A group of twelve people gathered together, their expressions very somber.

Although most of them were still a little weak, they have now recovered to about 70-80%.

"I think that city is the best place to go," a young man said.

This immediately drew rebuttals from the crowd:

"Yesterday, in that very city, we suffered the heaviest casualties. Going back into the city would be suicide!"

"Exactly! Those spirit beasts that attacked us had such strong auras, and there was more than one of them. Should we go and fight them for territory?"

Faced with the rebuttal, the boy remained quite calm and analyzed:

"There are spirit beasts, but the spirit beasts in the city aren't as rampant as those outside. If we hadn't barged in, they definitely wouldn't have made a move."

"Furthermore, those frenzied spirit beasts outside didn't break in; the light must be preventing them from entering."

The boy paused, then said:

"Moreover, the spiritual energy in the city is much denser than outside. If it weren't for the spirit beasts, it would definitely be the best place for us."

"Otherwise, how long can we hold out if we're just kept at this stalemate?"

Faced with the boy's question, everyone fell silent.

We really can't afford to wait any longer.

If one were to maintain the position at such a high altitude on their own, the energy expenditure would be enormous. If they persisted for an entire night, they would not only be physically and mentally exhausted, but their resources would also be significantly depleted.

However, putting them together and using flying boats in turn to consume them is also no small burden.

Although they were unwilling to admit it, everyone knew the truth at that moment.

Going to the city is indeed the best choice.

At this moment, the boy continued:

"Although there are spirit beasts, we are not without options. As long as we gather the disciples of our holy land, clearing out a city should not be difficult."

"With Senior Brother Luo's influence, achieving this shouldn't be difficult."

After speaking, the boy looked at Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen seemed somewhat distracted. Facing the gazes of the crowd, he nodded and said to the young man:

"Let's do it your way."

I don't know why, perhaps it's because they got off to a bad start.

That morning, he felt uneasy, as if something bad was about to happen.

But the bad things I've just experienced are what I'm about to face.

Could it be that my senses are playing tricks on me?

In another part of the secret realm, within a city.

The city is not very large.

The city looked somewhat chaotic, but it wasn't occupied by demonic beasts.

On the contrary, several large banners were erected on the edge of the city.

The emblem on the flag clearly reads "Cloud Heaven Holy Land".

At this time, groups of cultivators would occasionally arrive, their faces beaming with joy, wanting to enter the city and find a safe place.

They were told that they would have to pay a price to stay in the city.

Either sufficient resources, or sufficient brilliance.

In the city, Qin Jiuxiao stood atop the tallest building, watching the people who came from time to time. He took a deep breath, looking refreshed.

After all this time, my luck has finally turned around.

Yesterday, he discovered the city and, together with the other disciples of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, cleared it out.

Although nothing of value was found at the time.

But last night's events left those with nowhere to go with heavy casualties, while those who relied on the city to hunt the beast tide reaped considerable rewards.

Fate seems to be smiling upon me again.

At this moment, Qin Jiuxiao's expression suddenly changed.

He took out a piece of jade used for communication and infused it with spiritual power.

A moment later, a cold glint flashed in Qin Jiuxiao's eyes.

"Did you suffer heavy losses from the beast tide?"

"Luo Zhen, it's time to settle things between us!"
