Mortals cultivate immortality, and their IQ is playing with their heartbeats

The Great Elder Ai He pointed to Fang Rui Chu and said to everyone, “You must all cooperate with her and listen to her command. Remember not to be reckless or think you know better, lest you ruin everything.

This time we enter the Ghost Valley Secret Ground to collect more spiritual herbs and materials.

Because the spatial barriers of the Ghost Valley Secret Realm have shown signs of instability, the next entry may not be in 10 years, but in 20 or even 100 years. This is extremely detrimental to the development of our five major sects.

Therefore, we must collect more spiritual herbs, especially those needed to refine Foundation Establishment Pills, to ensure that our sect can safely survive within the next century.

This news is not only known to our Puppet Sect, but also to the other sects. When the time comes, the Ghost Valley Secret Realm will be a battle of life and death. I hope you can unite and face the external enemies together.

This time you only have three months to enter the secret realm. Be sure to make full use of these three months and collect as many spiritual herbs as possible. If you can't get out in three months, you will have to wait for the next opening.

After collecting, you need to gather together and discuss how to safely bring the spiritual herbs out.

The more spiritual herbs you bring out, the more beneficial it will be to the future development of our Puppet Sect, and the more stable your backing will be.

I hope you will continue to work hard and live up to the sect's expectations of you.”

The disciples, upon hearing this, all showed determined expressions, deeply aware of the importance of this mission. This was not just an opportunity to collect spiritual herbs, but also a moment for them to contribute to the sect and demonstrate their abilities.

Under the Elder's gaze, the disciples expressed their determination to go all out and live up to the sect's trust. They were deeply aware of their responsibilities and understood that only through their own efforts and dedication could they bring a more glorious future to the sect.

After hearing the Elder's words, the disciples were filled with righteous indignation and murderous intent. Elder Ai He nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, signaling them to depart.

The disciples flew towards the huge flying ship one after another. The ten elite disciples walked in the forefront; they were the leaders of the team.

The other rogue cultivator disciples followed behind them, forming a large team.

Li Chengfeng slowly flew to a corner and sat down cross-legged.

He looked unapproachable, preoccupied with planning his next steps.

He knew that this mission was full of dangers and opportunities, and he had to carefully and cautiously face every challenge.

As the Elder flew to the front, the flying ship suddenly erupted with immense power, transforming into a streak of white light and disappearing into the heavens and earth.

The speed was so fast that every disciple felt their scalp tingle. This was the power of a Core Formation stage cultivator, terrifying to the extreme.

Faced with this impact, even well-trained disciples felt overwhelmed, and only those with powerful defensive magical artifacts could barely resist.

However, Li Chengfeng was not worried. He knew that the protective shield of Africa was strong enough to withstand this impact.

After traveling for a while, some rogue cultivator disciples began to look for partners. They understood that it would be difficult to achieve anything by fighting alone in the secret realm, and only by uniting could they achieve greater gains.

Thus, some familiar rogue cultivators gathered together, forming small groups.

However, Li Chengfeng remained motionless. He knew that after entering the Ghost Valley Secret Realm, his array talent would be his greatest reliance.

He didn't want to expose his strength at this time, lest he attract unnecessary trouble.

At this moment, Du Hai and Ma Zhen walked over and cupped their hands towards Li Chengfeng, saying, “Fellow Daoist Tianku, long time no see. I think the three of us should work together to face the challenges in the secret realm.”

Ma Zhen also echoed, “That's right, I didn't expect your array talent to be so good. I'm also willing to go in and take a chance.”

Li Chengfeng smiled and said, “Of course, I also came here to break through my cultivation. Otherwise, I believe you two also deeply understand the pain of having no hope of breaking through.”

Du Hai nodded in agreement. Although he was sophisticated and worldly, it was difficult for him to obtain sufficient resources in the Puppet Sect.

If he cultivated in a conventional manner, it would be difficult for him to make any breakthroughs. Therefore, he also planned to enter the secret realm to seek opportunities.

Ma Zhen was the same. She had average talent, came from a rogue cultivator background, and had learned a wide range of skills.

After entering the Puppet Sect, she encountered many difficulties. If Li Chengfeng hadn't given her some guidance, she probably wouldn't have been able to stay in the outer sect.

Now, she also decided to go to the secret realm to take a chance, which shows her firm determination.

However, Li Chengfeng would not wholeheartedly help them just because he had a nodding acquaintance with them.

After exchanging some polite pleasantries, he ignored them.

Du Hai and Ma Zhen were very familiar with his temperament, so they both sat down cross-legged next to Li Chengfeng.

The three of them formed a small group, preparing to face the upcoming challenges together.

Just then, a burly man with a stubbly face slowly walked over. His face was wretched, and his eyes revealed an evil and cunning light.

He had a malicious smile on his lips, making people feel a sense of oppression and unease. The existence of this burly man seemed to add a bit of restraint and anxiety to the surrounding air.

Behind him were five rogue cultivators, all outer sect disciples. They thought they were strong, but they were unaware of the impending danger.

The burly man's name was Ma Weiguang. He had reached the tenth level of Qi Refining, which was considered outstanding among rogue cultivators. Therefore, he was smug. When he looked at Ma Zhen, a hint of greed appeared in his eyes.

“Junior Sister, why are you getting involved with them? Why not join our team? I'll guarantee your safety.” Ma Weiguang prided himself on his strength and had designs on Ma Zhen, so he said this.

Ma Zhen was very clear about Ma Weiguang's character. She knew that he was perverse and domineering and had a notorious reputation among rogue cultivators, often bullying his fellow disciples.

She avoided Ma Weiguang like the plague, but she was helpless at this time.

Seeing this, Du Hai immediately stepped forward to smooth things over: “Haha, so it's Senior Brother Ma Weiguang. Since you've spoken, we will naturally comply.”

He winked at Li Chengfeng, signaling him not to act rashly.

Although Li Chengfeng disliked these messy small groups, he didn't want to be too unconventional, so he nodded in agreement.

However, he secretly became vigilant. People like this, who are ambitious and think they know better, are likely to become stumbling blocks once they enter the secret realm.

Ma Weiguang was overjoyed and became even more complacent: “See? Ma Zhen, your two friends agree. Why don't you join us?

I need to collect spirit stones from those two as protection fees, but not you. After we get out, you'll be my wife, what do you think?”

Ma Zhen's face stiffened, but she didn't dare to refuse directly. She could only say euphemistically, “Okay, I know that entering the secret realm this time is a narrow escape from death.

If you can come out alive, I might as well marry you. Then it depends on Senior Brother's ability.”

It is indeed difficult for female cultivators to survive in the cultivation world without relying on someone.

Ma Zhen had already resigned herself to her fate, while Du Hai was secretly happy that Ma Zhen had agreed to join Ma Weiguang's team, feeling that he could also benefit from it.
