Zhou Zhuqing was a little stunned, looking at the two bottles of elixirs he handed over, her expression mirroring Zhou Lianxiang's.

Seeing this, Lin Chen laughed, "What? Don't tell me you don't recognize these elixirs?"

"I naturally recognize them, but these elixirs are rare. Are you just casually giving them to me?" Zhou Zhuqing held the bottle, her face slightly blushing.

Lin Chen didn't feel comfortable saying that these things could now be used freely at home.

He just smiled and said softly, "Aren't you in a hurry to break through to Gold Core and reach Nascent Soul?"

"But I'm only at Foundation Building stage now." Zhou Zhuqing felt even more discouraged.

If she could reach Gold Core before the age of twenty, she wouldn't have to be an outer disciple. She would have become an inner disciple long ago.

People like them, no matter how hard they worked, couldn't cross the class divide due to their lack of talent.

"Even if it's the Return to Void realm, don't you still have to start from Qi Refining? No one is born a deity. We are born with immortal bones, which is already rare. We are much better off than ordinary people." Lin Chen smiled.

They were all children of immortal sect families, so they were born with immortal bones, taking a step ahead of children from ordinary families. Those children would waste many years trying to cultivate immortal bones.

Although Lin Chen had never had spiritual roots, he still had immortal bones, which was an advantage.

After hearing this, Zhou Zhuqing felt a little relieved and nodded, "I will definitely cultivate diligently."

"Of course, we all have to cultivate diligently. I didn't know much about the outside world when I was in the Eternal Immortal Sect. Tell me, what is the situation in the Demon Realm?" Lin Chen sat in the carriage, looking at her curiously.

Zhou Zhuqing sighed, "The immortal sects and the Demon Realm were originally incompatible, but a hundred thousand years ago, during the war between gods and demons, both sides suffered heavy losses. So they signed an agreement to govern themselves separately without interfering with each other. The Forgotten River is the boundary line that cannot be crossed."

"With many gods returning to the Void, the Demon Realm, relying on the high cultivation of the new Demon Lord Lu Hai, began to stir, wanting to swallow our immortal sects and unify the world. Hmph, it's just wishful thinking!" Zhou Zhuqing said indignantly.

Lin Chen looked at her, "So, in recent years, there have been small-scale battles. Lu Qiu lost his spiritual roots and spiritual veins in such a battle and fell into the demonic path?"

"The cultivation in the Demon Realm doesn't require spiritual energy, so naturally it doesn't require spiritual roots. It only needs demonic energy. But if one cultivates demonic energy for a long time, it will damage one's temperament, making people become irritable and bloodthirsty. Their Demon Lord is like that." Zhou Zhuqing sighed helplessly. "In recent years, many people in the immortal sects are not willing to cultivate diligently and just want to take shortcuts. The power of the Demon Realm is growing, but the major immortal sects are gradually declining. I really don't know what will happen in the future."

So, the current situation of the immortal sects is so bad?

"Luo Yunli is no match for Lu Hai, right?" Lin Chen suddenly thought of that cold and elegant woman.

Zhou Zhuqing rolled her eyes, "Although the Sect Master has a high cultivation level, she is still young after all, so naturally she is no match for the Demon Lord. I heard that even the elders of the Eternal Immortal Sect are not a match for the Demon Lord. But..."

When she said this, Zhou Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, thought about it, and continued, "But it seems that the Demon Lord is not particularly interested in seizing our territory. He prefers... eating. I heard that the reason he wants to attack the immortal sects is purely because the things in the Demon Realm are too tasteless."

Perhaps because this statement was too outrageous, even Zhou Zhuqing couldn't help but laugh.

Lin Chen laughed, "If you say so, I'm really curious. What kind of person is this Demon Lord?"

"I heard that she is a stunning beauty, enchanting and captivating, captivating people's hearts." Zhou Zhuqing hinted.

Huh?

Lin Chen never expected that after Zhou Zhuqing talked for so long, the Demon Lord turned out to be a woman?

Seeing his disbelief, Zhou Zhuqing snorted, "Why are you looking at me like that? Don't tell me you think women can't rule a domain?"

"It's not what you think, just a little unexpected." Lin Chen smiled.

There is no such thing as favoring males over females here, everything is based on strength.

If you have strong enough power, even if you are a dog, you will be respected.

Just like the spirit pets of many gods, they are more noble than ordinary people, it's the same principle.

The boundary between gods and demons is not too far from Maple City, only three to five days away.

Just as they entered the boundary, Lin Chen clearly felt the True Qi in his body trembling.

It was obvious that he was also sensitive to demonic energy.

"Focus!" Zhou Zhuqing held his hand, "From now on, you will be accompanied by demonic energy. You must stabilize your mind, understand?"

"I understand." Lin Chen said seriously, starting to suppress the turbulent True Qi in his body.

When they got off the carriage, all they saw was desolation.

They didn't see the River of Forgetfulness, only the vast wilderness.

He frowned, "Why is it so desolate here?"

"The demonic energy here is too heavy, ordinary people can't bear it. Only cultivators like us can freely walk here." Zhou Zhuqing jumped off the carriage and glanced at Lin Chen, "Our Zhou family is an outer sect of the Eternal Immortal Sect, so naturally we have to assist the Eternal Immortal Sect."

"This time, besides the people from the Eternal Immortal Sect, there are also people from the Jade Immortal Sect and the Lu Xian Sect. These three major sects are the largest sects in the immortal sects, but their relationships with each other are average. It's best for you not to get involved, understand?" Zhou Zhuqing was afraid that Lin Chen's big mouth would cause trouble.

She wanted to make things clear right now.

Lin Chen nodded.

Where there are people, there will be struggles. Even in the immortal sects, they can't truly be free from desires.

Following Zhou Zhuqing, they found the residence of the Eternal Immortal Sect along the way.

The Eternal Immortal Sect is known for being wealthy, so naturally their living conditions are better. The tents are all marked with the symbol of the Eternal Immortal Sect, large peony flowers.

Luo Yunli personally led the team, and the people below were some disciples who had just entered the Foundation Building stage. This time, they came out to gain experience.

When she heard that someone had arrived, Luo Yunli came out of the tent and immediately saw Lin Chen in the crowd.

She actually felt a bit of joy as if they were long-lost friends.

She remained calm and nodded towards this side.

Zhou Zhuqing stepped forward and saluted, "Leader, the Zhou family is here to assist."

"Well, it's just a little troublesome. There's no need to make such a big fuss, right?" Luo Yunli nodded, showing no expression, unable to discern her emotions at the moment.

Zhou Zhuqing respectfully spoke, "Apologies, Leader. The disciples just thought it was a rare opportunity, so they brought the disciples from our family out to gain experience."

"That's fine, gaining experience is always good." Luo Yunli nodded and waved her hand, "Settle down first."

As soon as she finished speaking, an annoying voice sounded, "Eternal Immortal Sect is really timid like a mouse. Just a few demon beasts, and you even called the outer sect disciples? Are you using them as bait to die?"
