A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

After the spiritual root test, Uncle Chu left, leaving the family to slowly digest the news. Originally, everyone had some guesses about their spiritual root attributes and levels, but the specifics were unclear. After the test, they had a more accurate understanding of their own situation.

However, the most surprising result was Jinxiu's spiritual root test results. If she could successfully activate her hidden spiritual roots, she would undoubtedly become another genius. Du Shuangshuang secretly resolved that if the sect could not help, she would do everything she could to help Jinxiu safely activate her spiritual roots. "Jinxiu, don't worry. I'm here with you. I will help you safely activate your hidden spiritual roots no matter what. But it will take some time, please trust me."

"Well, miss, I believe you, but don't worry about me. Jinxiu doesn't have to practice cultivation. As long as I can accompany you for the rest of my life, I will be satisfied." The little girl looked at Du Shuangshuang with eyes full of dependence. It was just that winter that Du Wushuang gave her a bite of food, and she wanted to repay him. She voluntarily sold herself to the general's mansion and stayed by Du Wushuang's side. She even died for Du Wushuang in her previous life.

Du Shuangshuang looked at the little girl tenderly, her eyes full of doting. She gently stroked the little girl's furry head, feeling the soft touch.

Jinxiu raised her head, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "Miss, I know you are good to me, but I really don't want to cause you any trouble. The path of cultivation is difficult and dangerous, and I don't want to be a burden to you. As long as I can be by your side, I will be satisfied."

Du Shuangshuang nodded with emotion, a warm feeling welling up in her heart. She knew Jinxiu's feelings well, but she also understood the significance of cultivation for a person. If Jinxiu could cultivate, it would open up a whole new journey in her life. Furthermore, she had a single spiritual root. Although her spiritual root value was not high, her aptitude should not be bad. She saw Uncle Chu's mouth curl slightly, clearly satisfied.

"Silly girl, there's a huge difference between practicing and not practicing. If you can practice, I'll definitely let you do it," Du Shuangshuang said softly, her tone filled with determination. She was determined to help Jinxiu embark on the path of cultivation, and she wouldn't give up no matter how great the difficulties.

Jinxiu looked at Du Shuangshuang gratefully, tears glistening in her eyes. She knew that Du Shuangshuang sincerely hoped that she could become strong and protect herself. She secretly made up her mind that if she could cultivate, she would work hard to live up to Du Shuangshuang's expectations. In the future, when she became stronger, she would be able to better protect the young lady.

Then Du Shuangshuang looked at everyone in the Du family and said, "I plan to follow you into this secret realm. What about you?"

Du Zhengze quickly said, "Sister, I want to go too!"

Du Shuangshuang was surprised that the first one to express his intention to go was his youngest cousin. However, he was met with fierce opposition!

"You are different from Grandpa. Grandpa has no other requirements. He must leave incense for our Du family." Before Uncle Du and Aunt Du could intercept him, Grandpa Du spoke first.

"Yes, Zhengze is the heir of our family, he must stay. Let me go this time! I will find a way to get resources for you and make money to support you. You are still just a child, how can it be your turn to earn money to support the family! Yueshuang and Yunyan, just wait for me here. Your cultivation is too low. If you go in, you may die. We can't let you take risks. Shuang'er, why don't you not go too? If you need anything, your second uncle will do his best to get it for you. Your eldest brother left you as his only child. If something happens to you, how can I explain to your eldest brother when he comes back?" said the second uncle.

"Yes, Shuang'er, don't go either. You're all still young, just let your second uncle go." Second Aunt looked at Second Uncle, her eyes filled with reluctance. Tears welled up in her eyes, and after she finished speaking, they flowed down like beads from a broken string. "Wow, can't we just not go? We've just arrived in the world of cultivation, and everything is unknown. I want to go with you, even if we have to die together."

"Miss, don't go. I'm not in a hurry. You don't have to take risks for me. If anything happens to you, I will be responsible for it!" Jinxiu grabbed Du Shuangshuang's sleeves tightly, as if she felt that this way she could hold her tightly and prevent her from taking risks for herself.

"Don't forget our situation. We don't have time to waste. We must become stronger as soon as possible. In addition to resources, we also need training and actual combat. Otherwise, when will we be able to grow up? When we encounter danger, who will we ask for time to strengthen ourselves? We are not just doing this for someone. We want to make ourselves stronger as soon as possible so that we have enough strength to protect ourselves and the people we care about. I must go. You don't need to consider whether I stay or go. Just consider your own. Make a decision as soon as possible and give them a reply." Du Shuangshuang said,

"Yes, Shuang'er is right, I must go." Uncle Du said firmly. He was supposed to be the pillar of the family and there was no reason for him to shrink back. Anyone could retreat, but as a man, he absolutely could not retreat!

While a few people were discussing this, Chu Yue had already taken the test results back to report to Master Xuancheng.

"Hmm, not bad." The person on the couch nodded in satisfaction. It was truly unexpected. Yunshang had truly amassed a treasure trove of gems this time. Not only were there two single water spiritual roots, but there was also a hidden single fire spiritual root, and even a dual spiritual root with full fire and wood spiritual roots. No matter where they were, as long as they were properly nurtured, there would be no worries about not having more talented individuals in the future. Looking at this group of people, they all had good character. Even the middle-aged man, despite his bloodlust, had a faint aura of virtue. The old man's aura of virtue was even stronger, but it was a pity that he had no spiritual roots.

The water spiritual root alone was certainly attractive, but Ling Xiao Zhenren, standing by, was even more shocked by the full spiritual root value of the fire and wood dual spiritual roots. However, he quickly realized that the dual spiritual roots of fire and wood were born for alchemy, weren't they? Ling Xiao Zhenren's mind began to become active.

"Don't forget the sect's rules!" True Lord Xuancheng knew what he was thinking. However, for these new disciples, especially those entering the secret realm, the sect had explicitly prohibited anyone from making advances against them. This meant they would be tested upon their return to the sect to prevent those with ill intentions from infiltrating. This also provided a fair competition opportunity for all those seeking to become disciples, and served as a form of protection for these newcomers. No one was allowed to over-expose the newcomers, and unnecessary contact was to be avoided.

"Oh, Uncle Master, I know, I know. How could I not know the rules of our sect? You know my character, I've never been punished for breaking the rules!" He always managed to skirt the rules, find loopholes, and have the support of his backers. It's not that he's a bad person; he never bullies the weak, but when he does get something, he's really good at it. He's calculating and never loses out, and those he punishes aren't necessarily good people. He's also quite loyal, so he's quite popular. But he's also offended quite a few people. If it weren't for his impressive alchemy talent, even the most powerful backers wouldn't be able to withstand his troublemaking nature.

Du Shuangshuang and the others briefly discussed the matter, but a final conclusion was still undecided. However, since they had come to the world of immortal cultivation, they always wanted to learn more about the outside world. While they were discussing, the others had already set out to gather information, and now they had returned one after another, summarizing the good news and reporting it to them.

"Reporting to the Patriarch, we have heard that the six top sects in the Tianyuan Continent's cultivation world are the main participants in this secret realm:

Yunlang Pavilion is the largest sect in the southeast of Tianyuan Continent. Its weapon refining is the most powerful in the entire Tianyuan Continent. It also has the only fifth-level alchemy grandmaster in the entire Tianyuan Continent, the Grand Elder of Yunlang Pavilion, Dao Bai Zhenzun.

Qianji Pavilion is located in the central part of Tianyuan Continent. Their specialty is Tianyanshu, which allows them to peek into the secrets of the heavens. Their formations are also very powerful. Of course, many ingenious items also come from Qianji Pavilion, such as mechanical puppetry.

Dao Zong, located in the northern part of Tianyuan Continent, has no special skills, but has the strongest overall strength;

The Kunlun Sect is located in the western part of the Tianyuan Continent. It is mainly composed of sword cultivators. Almost all of the sect members are sword cultivators.

The Demon Sect is located in the extremely desolate northern part of the Tianyuan Continent. The spiritual energy there is very thin. However, the cultivators of the Demon Sect do not rely on spiritual energy for cultivation. They have many branches, some cultivate corpses, some cultivate souls, some cultivate dead energy, some cultivate resentment, and some even cultivate by absorbing blood energy.

The Buddhist sect is located in the eastern part of the Tianyuan Continent. They rely on merits for their cultivation, but their disciples will also enter the world and spread across the world of immortal cultivation and even the mortal world.

This time, the secret realm appeared in the territory of Kunlun Sect. Although it is called the territory of Kunlun Sect, it is actually a gathering place for mortals in the world of immortal cultivation. The spiritual energy here is thin, and it is also known as the exile place of the world of immortal cultivation. No one could have imagined that a secret realm would appear here.

However, the excitement surrounding this new secret realm was so great that it attracted the attention of all the major sects. Besides the six major sects, there were also second-rate sects like the Hehuan Sect. Located in the southern part of the Tianyuan Continent, the Hehuan Sect was both righteous and evil, and specialized in the practice of the Double Rest technique.

The Ba Ti Sect mainly cultivates the art of body building. The sect's members are mainly composed of a group of big and strong men. There are also women, but very few, and they also have big and strong bodies.

There were also some large families, independent cultivators, and small families and sects in the western region who had received the news. Independent cultivators and small families in other areas were too far away, lacking large flying boats, and it was unknown how long it would take to bring people here. They hadn't had time to arrive yet. It was confirmed that only those in the Qi Refining Stage could enter this secret realm, but we hadn't learned the specific details.

A temporary market has also formed outside, much like the markets we have here, with many stalls selling things and a large shop called Duobao Pavilion. No other information has been gathered yet."

Du Shuangshuang thought they were very good for being able to collect so much information in such a short time.

"Let's go, let's go to the market. I haven't seen a market in the world of immortal cultivation yet. If there is anything suitable, let's buy something." He was determined to enter the secret realm. He should have a lot of self-defense items and various things he needed. Besides, he had no shortage of spirit stones. The secret realm would definitely be dangerous. If possible, of course he wanted to arm himself to the teeth.
