On this day, the guards of the Sui family had no idea what had happened, but in any case, their young master was in an excellent mood.
Even though he still wore a cold face whenever he looked at them!
Wen Jingshu chatted with Sui Qi for a long time. When the topic turned to the Immortal-Summoning Formation, Wen Jingshu drew it out for him on the spot.
Looking at the formation, Sui Qi had a sudden stroke of inspiration. He combined and bound it with an Immortal Realm transmission stone, tinkering with it for a while before handing her a stone with a lustrous texture.
“Once you go back, try channeling your wood immortal root and see if you can send me a voice transmission.”
If they could converse across realms, that would be absolutely wonderful!
That way, he could secretly find someone to chat with to relieve his boredom!
Wen Jingshu also thought it was a great idea. She wanted to build a good relationship with Sui Qi before her ascension; he would be her primary connection in the Immortal Realm in the future!
For a moment, both of them desperately hoped this modified transmission stone would work...
Sui Qi had busied himself for so long preparing all those fruits for Wen Jingshu, but when it was time for her to leave, how to give them to her became a major problem.
She was a living soul, he couldn't see her, and she couldn't take anything from the Immortal Realm with her...
After a brief silence between the two, Wen Jingshu simply leaned in and took a bite out of one.
To her surprise, she actually managed to bite off a piece.
As the immortal fruit entered her mouth, Wen Jingshu clearly felt her soul grow a bit more solid.
As a talisman cultivator, Wen Jingshu knew all too well how important soul strength was to a cultivator. Her eyes lit up as she took bite after bite.
“Seventh Brother, this fruit is delicious!”
Sui Qi could only hold the fruit up, watching it vanish bit by bit right before his eyes.
A bright smile curled up on the youth's lips as he said with a hint of doting warmth:
“If it's delicious, eat more. Eat everything you can't take back with you!”
She was so cute! How could she be so adorable? He absolutely adored such a well-behaved and cute little sister.
No wonder one of his friends doted on pets as if they were his life, while another treasured his sister above all else. Now that he thought about it, she really was lovable!
He unilaterally decided that Wen Jingshu would be his beloved sister from now on!
Wen Jingshu: I treat you as eye candy, but you treat me like a little sister? Is that polite?
After Wen Jingshu returned, she rubbed her stomach, still wanting more.
Thanks to him, Wen Jingshu's soul was now even more resilient than it had been at the peak of her previous life as a talisman cultivator.
She peeked inside the Shengsheng Bead at the Hunyuan Bead, which was focusing on shedding its bones and transforming its immortal root. Sure enough, it had also become slightly more solid.
It was just a pity that she couldn't bring down the transmission stone Sui Qi had experimented on, which might have allowed them to communicate across realms.
But overall, this trip had been incredibly fruitful.
Both times she met Sui Qi, her strength had increased. He truly was her great opportunity!
Wen Jingshu memorized this landmark and made her way back to the surface with ease.
Just as she reached the surface, the transmission stone in her hand began to grow hot.
It was a standard-issue transmission stone given by the sect to all disciples entering the secret realm. Wen Jingshu picked it up and heard Xu Haoguang's voice:
“Shushu, a beast tide has occurred in the secret realm. Be careful.”
Wen Jingshu gave a brief acknowledgment and then continued her search for opportunities.
However, no matter how much Wen Jingshu wandered, she could no longer find any treasures as rare as the Supreme Spirit-Transforming Grass or the Ten-Thousand-Year Cold Rhythm Stone.
Sensing that her destiny with this secret realm had run its course, she did not force it. Since the spiritual energy here was extremely dense, she simply sat cross-legged and began to cultivate.
On the other side, Bai Han was currently in the very center of the beast tide's storm.
In her previous life, Wen Jingshu had braved the pressure of the beast tide in this secret realm to rescue countless fellow disciples, thereby earning the recognition of the sect and becoming the undisputed Little Senior Sister of the sect.
As for the title of Eldest Senior Sister, it was reserved for the successor to the Sect Master.
This matter had even reached the ears of the Qingyun Sect's patriarchs. Even if those patriarchs did not express anything openly, it had laid a solid foundation for when Wen Jingshu sought another master later on.
Now that it was his turn, he naturally would not let this opportunity to make a name for himself slip by.
Holding his longsword, Bai Han gritted his teeth and channeled his spiritual energy, slaying another demon beast.
His spiritual energy was running low, but for this chance at fame, he gritted his teeth and swallowed another bottle of pills.
By now, his obsession had consumed his rationality. He didn't care about pill toxicity at all; he only wanted to save more people. He had to seize this opportunity!
Bai Han lost track of how many demon beasts he had killed. Seeing him fight so desperately, a group of disciples was inspired to join the ranks of those rescuing their fellow sect members.
This battle lasted for three days and three nights. Once it was over, Bai Han collapsed and slept for another three days and three nights.
Before losing consciousness, Bai Han was still dreaming of being revered by thousands.
The time for exploring the secret realm flashed by. Wen Jingshu felt her cultivation level loosen; with just one more opportunity, she would be able to break through to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Stage.
She exited the secret realm in a good mood, but the moment her feet touched the ground, a wave of killing intent surged straight toward her vitals.
“Wen Jingshu, give me your life!”
Wen Jingshu's reactions were lightning-fast. Evading the strike, she immediately drew her sword to engage the attacker.
After trading a few blows, Wen Jingshu clearly saw who it was.
It was none other than her second senior brother, Fu Sinian, whom she had not seen in a long time.
Thinking of his relationship with Yun Xiange, Wen Jingshu instantly understood where Fu Sinian's hostility came from.
While Fu Sinian was out capturing spirit beasts for Yun Xiange, he had stumbled upon an opportunity and broken through in one fell swoop.
He was now a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Although Wen Jingshu could slay Golden Core Stage demon beasts, when facing a cultivator, she had no way of completely defeating him without relying on her strongest magic treasures.
By the same token, Fu Sinian could not harm her anytime soon either.
Having already formed her Sword Heart, Wen Jingshu skillfully utilized her sword arts to counter him. Back and forth they went, and Wen Jingshu actually traded over a hundred blows under Fu Sinian's offensive.
The bewildered disciples nearby felt the terrifying aura and said with trembling voices:
“Are these two personal disciples of Hidden Star Peak? Why did they suddenly start fighting? Has Senior Brother Fu broken through to the Golden Core Stage?”
“Brother, your focus is totally off. Shouldn't you be shocked that Little Senior Sister Wen can actually trade blows with a Golden Core cultivator?”
“Holy crap, isn't Little Senior Sister Wen only at the Qi Refining Stage? How can she fight back and forth with a Golden Core cultivator?”
“Holy crap, Little Senior Sister Wen is only at the Qi Refining Stage? I don't believe it! Twist my head off and I still wouldn't believe it!”
If it were a peak Foundation Establishment cultivator trading blows with a newly promoted Golden Core Stage cultivator, they could barely accept it.
But this was a clash between the Qi Refining Stage and the Golden Core Stage!
There was an entire major realm between them!
No matter how monstrously talented someone was, it was impossible to fight across an entire major realm!
Xu Haoguang only found out later about the injuries Yun Xiange had sustained in the secret realm. Her injuries seemed to be related to Wen Jingshu. She also knew that Yun Xiange was deeply cherished by the master and disciples of Hidden Star Peak. By the time she rushed over, the fight between the senior brother and junior sister had already reached a fever pitch.
Fu Sinian was annoyed that he hadn't been able to injure Wen Jingshu yet. Seeing the killing intent in Fu Sinian's eyes grow stronger, Wen Jingshu's anger also began to rise.
For Beili's sake, she had let Yun Xiange off time and time again, yet these people were so ungrateful that they actually wanted to cause trouble for her.
It was truly annoying. Could she just kill him directly?
