Mortal Seeking Immortal

Outside the secret realm, the elders leading the four sects and three schools were sitting cross-legged beside a lake covered by white mist, resting with their eyes closed.

In the air above the lake in front of them, seven Jindan-level magic weapons emitting dazzling light were parked around the thick white mist on the lake, and were in a stalemate with the colorful light around them, forming a huge circular passage on the lake.

There was silence all around, and suddenly the seven elders leading the team opened their eyes at the same time, raised their eyes and looked back, and soon saw three small spiritual lights appearing in the sky, as if a cultivator was flying towards this side.

The seven elders looked solemn at the same time, stood up and faced the direction where the three spiritual lights were coming from.

Ning Yuwan, the leader of the Qingsha Sect, frowned and said, "Everyone in this Linghuan Continent knows that the foundation-building disciples of our four sects and three schools have to enter the secret realm to pick spiritual plants every twenty years. In order to avoid misunderstandings, ordinary cultivators will stay away from this place. I wonder what the three people who came here mean?"

The fourth elder of the Lingshou Sect, Mo Heng, looked at the sky and guessed, "Seeing that the five-day deadline is approaching, these three people will not take the opportunity to snatch the spiritual plants?"

As soon as Mo Heng said this, the atmosphere at the scene immediately became solemn. The seven people looked at the three spiritual lights vigilantly. The elder of the Wanjian Sect had already firmly grasped a broken sword in his hand.

Chixia Sect elder Zhou Qi said: "In recent years, evil cultivators have been rampant in the Linghuan Continent. Could it be that these three are demon cultivators?"

As soon as Zhou Qi finished speaking, the leader of the Feiyun Sect, who had the highest cultivation level, slowly said: "Don't be surprised, everyone. These three are three Jindan-level disciples of the Supreme Elder of my Feiyun Sect. They are not demon cultivators."

Hearing this, everyone felt relieved, and the elder of the Wanjian Sect put away the broken sword in his hand.

Qingsha Sect elder Ning Yuwan asked curiously: "Grand Elder? I wonder which of the three Grand Elders of your Feiyun Sect is it?"

As soon as Ning Yuwan said this, the others turned their heads to look at the elders of the Feiyun Sect at the same time. The elder of the Feiyun Sect said: "Elder Xingyuan."

Qingsha Sect Ning Yuwan said: "I heard that Elder Xingyuan has three Jindan-level disciples serving him, namely Lingxuan, Lingtong, and Lingfa. I wonder if they are the three who came this time?"

The elder of the Feiyun Sect nodded slightly.

Ning Yuwan said: "If I remember correctly, Xing Yu, the only descendant of Elder Xing Yuan, also participated in this trip to the secret realm."

"I heard that Ling Xuan and the other two would never leave the sect unless there was something important. Could it be that they came here for Xing Yu's matter? Could it be that Xing Yu had an accident in the secret realm?"

The elder of Feiyun Sect looked at Ning Yuwan meaningfully, and said with some admiration in his tone: "Fellow Daoist Ning is really smart, but I don't know why the three of them came this time. I didn't receive any notification from the sect."

Although the elder of Feiyun Sect did not admit that Xing Yu had an accident in the secret realm, the other six elders had already thought about it.

In a short while, Ling Xuan and the other two had already arrived at the lake on their swords. After exchanging greetings with the elders of the four sects and three sects, they sat cross-legged on the side without saying a word, waiting for the disciples of the four sects and three sects who entered the lake to come out.

The six elders, except the elder of Feiyun Sect, looked at each other and sat back in their original places.

After more than half an hour, the white mist on the lake surface was seen surging, and the colorful light blocked by the seven Jindan magic weapons had a tendency to gather in the middle, forcing the seven magic weapons suspended in the air to tremble slightly.

The seven elders looked condensed, and they all entered the magic formula into their respective magic weapons. The magic weapons suddenly shone brightly, and continued to stalemate with the colorful light.

The elder of Feiyun Sect said seriously: "The time has come, the exit of the secret realm has been opened, and you must protect the passage."

The other six people said yes in unison.

As soon as the voice fell, a white mist rolled in the passage surrounded by seven magic weapons, and a middle-aged male cultivator escaped from the passage in a mess.

The eyes of the seven people fell on this person at the same time. This person was wearing the clothes of the Spirit Beast Sect. Except for a little mess, there was no blood stain on his clothes. It seemed that he was not injured.

As soon as the middle-aged male cultivator came out, he walked straight behind the elder of the Spirit Beast Sect, Mo Heng. Mo Heng looked at him expectantly and said, "It's good that you're out. Take out the spiritual plants you picked."

The middle-aged male cultivator heard this and took out a few spiritual plants from the storage bag on his waist with stiff movements and placed them in front of Mo Heng.

Mo Heng glanced at these spiritual plants with dissatisfaction and found that these spiritual plants were all low-year spiritual plants without exception, and there was not a single high-year spiritual plant.

Seeing this, Mo Heng's face darkened instantly. He looked at the middle-aged male cultivator coldly. The middle-aged male cultivator hurriedly lowered his head and dared not look at Mo Heng.

The middle-aged male cultivator did not take the initiative to sign up for the secret realm trip, but was forced to participate by the people above, so after entering the secret realm, he had been hiding in the safest outer area of ​​the secret realm until he saw that the time to leave the secret realm was approaching, and he hurriedly picked these low-year spiritual plants to report.

Zhou Qi, the elder of Chixia Sect, who was sitting cross-legged beside him, saw this and laughed, "Mo Heng, in my opinion, the disciples of your Spirit Beast Sect are just so-so. With such a level, they dare to covet my Ice Purple Jade Marrow. I think you should prepare your Golden Marrow Jade obediently."

Low-year spiritual plants are useless to the sect, and the middle-aged male cultivator took back the spiritual plants he had taken out at Mo Heng's signal.

Mo Heng whispered to the middle-aged male cultivator and sent him away. He glanced at Zhou Qi and said lightly, "It's just the beginning now, and it's still unknown who will win or lose."

As soon as Mo Heng finished speaking, he saw another wave of white mist rolling in the passage, and disciples from various sects came out of the passage one after another.

An hour later, more than a thousand disciples from various sects who participated in the trip to the secret realm came out. In front of the six elders except the elder of Miaodan Sect, there were already piles of spiritual plants as high as a hill.

Judging from the spiritual plants collected so far, the Feiyun Sect has the most, followed by the Chixia Sect, the Lingshou Sect and the Wanyun Sect are tied, and the Qingsha Sect and the Wanjian Sect are at the bottom. As for the disciples of Miaodan Sect, none of them came out.

It should be noted that Miaodan Sect ranked fifth in the last spiritual plant picking. How could it be possible that not even a single spiritual plant was picked this time? This is very abnormal.

The elders of Miaodan Sect also asked the disciples of various sects who came out, but no one knew what happened to the Miaodan Sect disciples in the secret realm.

Although most of the disciples of Lingshou Sect knew that the Miaodan Sect cultivators who entered the secret realm were demon cultivators, they did not dare to speak out because they had no evidence at hand.

Another half hour passed, and the colorful light covering the lake became more and more dazzling, gradually forcing the magic weapons of the seven elders to move closer to the center.
