So what if I'm useless? I'll become a saint!

Lei Tingyi keenly caught what she was thinking.

At this moment, the white-haired old man on the stage spoke again, his voice loud and majestic.

"Enter the secret realm!"

Ling Jiuan took a deep breath and glanced at Lei Ting indifferently.

"Take care of yourself."

There is no longer the encyclopedia Lei Tingyi in the secret realm, so she has to go on her own.

Lei Tingyi nodded.

"Take care of yourself."

Following the old man's order, many disciples stood up and walked into the magic circle.

Ling Jiuan no longer hesitated. She stood up and resolutely walked into the vortex of the magic circle that was flashing with mysterious light.

After her, others also entered the secret realm.

Stepping out of that mysterious whirlpool, Jiuan was somewhat shocked.

The environment here is not much different from the outside world, but the spiritual power in the air makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The exotic flowers and plants all over the ground sparkled with the nourishment of spiritual power, as if endless treasures were hidden everywhere.

As soon as he stepped into the secret realm, Ling Jiuan's eyes were attracted by a magical herb with small white flowers.

That's hemostatic grass!

She had read in the book given to her by Lei Tingyi that hemostatic grass was an essential ingredient for refining healing pills and could even be taken directly.

Outside, ten spirit stones are needed to exchange for one!

Ling Jiuan was delighted and walked forward quickly, picked it carefully and put it into his storage bag.

This secret place is really nice!

Afterwards, other people also passed through the whirlpool and entered the secret realm.

Ling Jiuan looked around and found that apart from the Ling family members, she only knew Chen Yan.

He stood not far away, looking at her thoughtfully.

Just then, someone in the crowd raised a question.

"The spirit beasts in this secret realm are quite powerful. The number of people from our major families coming in is limited. Why don't we unite and move forward together?"

Then, the leader of a small family looked at Ling Jiuze.

"Second Master Ling, can we follow you?"

Ling Jiuze smiled as gentle as jade.

"Of course it's possible."

However, at this moment, a female cultivator stood up, with a hint of sarcasm in her words.

"But this secret realm is not safe after all. Bringing some burdens with you would probably be a burden to all of us, right?"

As she spoke, she glanced at Ling Jiuan intentionally or unintentionally.

"After all, a physical cultivator without spiritual roots is useless when facing a spiritual beast."

Ling Jiuan frowned slightly.

Good guy!

This wave is coming for her!

When Ling Jiuxi heard this, a sneer suddenly appeared on his face.

She walked out of the crowd slowly, with a hint of disdain in her tone.

"Miss Zhou's words really hit the nail on the head. Some people, who clearly have no spiritual roots and cannot use spiritual power, still want to fish in troubled waters here by relying on crooked ways and brute force."

As long as Ling Jiuan is left alone, she doesn't believe that Ling Jiuan can get out of the secret realm alive!

As she spoke, she turned her gaze to Ling Jiuan, with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

"Ling Jiuan, I think you'd better be sensible and act alone, so as not to implicate us all. After all, when you encounter a spirit beast, you will just be a burden."

Seeing this, Ling Jiuze hurried forward and pretended to pull Ling Jiuxi's hand, with a hypocritical smile on his face.

"Jiuxi, don't be like this! We are all family. After all, Jiuan is our sister. We should unite as one. How can we let Jiuan act alone?"

Although his words sounded high-sounding, the indifference and alienation in his eyes betrayed him.

It’s a pity that only Ling Jiuan could see through Ling Jiuze’s hypocrisy.

The people around also echoed Ling Jiuze, and in the midst of all the discussions, they all praised Ling Jiuze's "benevolence and righteousness".

However, to Ling Jiuan, these voices only sounded ridiculous and ironic.

She stood there quietly, with no expression on her face.

She was already accustomed to the hypocrisy and affectation of these people.

But if Ling Jiuze wanted a good reputation, she was not willing to fulfill his wish!

"Since Second Brother is so considerate, Jiuan would like to thank you here."

She spoke calmly, without any emotion in her voice.

"I am a physical cultivator and I don't have much spiritual power. My second brother has excellent abilities and talents, so I'll trouble you to protect me."

She certainly wouldn't join them.

However, before parting ways, she was still happy to make Jiuze feel disgusted.

When Ling Jiuze heard Ling Jiuan's light but firm words, the smile on his face shrank and solidified in an instant, like a flower hit by autumn frost.

He originally wanted to show magnanimity as an elder brother, but he didn't expect that Ling Jiuan would outwit him.

He cleared his throat awkwardly, trying to regain his composure.

"As a brother, I naturally hope to protect you, but this..."

Before Ling Jiuze could finish his words, Ling Jiuxi had already squeezed in between the two of them with an angry look on his face, staring at Ling Jiuan with flaming eyes.

"Brother, what do you care about her?"

Ling Jiuxi interrupted Ling Jiuze rudely, his voice full of disdain.

"I used some tricks to get in, do I want to implicate you? Besides, there are so many of us, we can't be dragged down by such a useless person without spiritual roots!"

She sneered in her heart.

Spiritual beasts are rampant in this secret realm, especially in the legendary Spirit Valley Abyss, which is said to hide a magical beast with the strength of a golden elixir.

Ling Jiuan was alone, like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth, and he was doomed to die!
