Junior sister took first place again

Ning Jiasheng was like a ghost in the chaos. She was extremely fast. After running out of the nest, she left the eight people far behind in a few blinks of an eye.

But she knew that these disciples from aristocratic families would not give up, and she had to clear herself of suspicion as soon as possible.

Ning Jiasheng ran in the shadows of the valley and found a hidden crack. She quickly got in and cast a small illusion array to completely conceal her breath.

She held her breath and listened to the noise outside.

Soon, the sounds of pursuers gradually approached, and Ning Jiasheng heard their impatient shouts and curses.

It was the Wei family member who was holding the spiritual pearl just now, and the Xue family member who was one of the talisman cultivators, who were chasing in the right direction.

The two searched around in this direction, their spiritual sense passing over Ning Jiasheng like a shadow, but they still could not find any trace of Ning Jiasheng.

Their anger and disappointment filled the air, but Ning Jiasheng remained calm.

On the other hand, Ji Tang, a member of the Ji family, saw the whole process. She did not remind the younger generations and kept observing secretly behind Ning Jiasheng.

Ji Tang has a strong interest in this sword immortal disciple.

She did not take action immediately, but chose to wait and see. She wanted to see what Ning Jiasheng would do next.

Ning Jiasheng waited in the crack for a long time, until they had walked far away and the noise outside had completely disappeared, then she slowly walked out.

After making sure that the surroundings were safe, she quietly left her hiding place.

Instead of moving forward, she returned the same way and headed towards the rhinoceros's nest.

When hiding in the nest just now, Ning Jiasheng discovered that there was something wrong with the stone wall. There must be something else hidden in the nest.

When he returned to the nest again, the stones that fell on the ground from the previous battle had been cleared away. Rhinohorn Fang was seriously injured by those people. After cleaning up, he went to sleep in the nest to recuperate.

Ning Jiasheng carefully flew to the unusual stone wall, studying it while being alert to possible traps and mechanisms.

After a moment, she stretched out her hand and gently touched the stone wall, feeling a faint spiritual power coming towards her.

Ning Jiasheng continued to input spiritual power into the place where his spiritual power was broken. The spiritual power fluctuations on the stone wall gradually became obvious. Finally, a hidden stone door slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to the depths.

Ning Jiasheng did not hesitate. She quickly walked into the passage and the stone door closed behind her.

The rhinoceros horn beast, who was woken up, raised his head and looked over here lazily, then closed his eyes and went back to sleep.

It's just a human being. Wait until it has rested before eating it.

Ning Jiasheng walked along this endless passage and found a small secret room at the end of it.

She stood at the entrance of the secret room, glanced around, and after confirming that there were no traps, she walked in with her sword in hand.

This secret room is not big. There are several luminous pearls inlaid on the walls around it, emitting a faint light, illuminating the entire space.

The room is decorated with simple stone tables and stone benches, giving it a plain and mysterious appearance. The most striking feature is a stone platform in the center of the chamber, on which are placed several wooden boxes and some miscellaneous items.

Ning Jiasheng walked forward, and her eyes were first attracted by the wooden boxes.

These wooden boxes were all sealed, and it was obvious that they contained some precious things.

She carefully opened a wooden box, which contained some precious elixirs and spiritual herbs. There were three of each type of elixir needed for the location marked on the map. These were extremely useful resources for her now.

Ning Jiasheng put the pills and spiritual herbs into the storage bag, and then opened the other wooden boxes.

In these wooden boxes, she also found some rare minerals and some exquisite magical tools.

Although these magical weapons are not top-level treasures, each one is well-made and has considerable power.

In a corner of the stone platform, Ning Jiasheng also found an ancient book.

This ancient book looked quite old, with a few ancient seal characters written on the cover. Ning Jiasheng took a while to identify it before realizing that it was a secret book on cultivation methods.

She opened the ancient book and saw some advanced spells and cultivation experiences recorded in it, which were extremely valuable knowledge to her.

Ning Jiasheng put away the ancient books and began to check other miscellaneous items on the stone platform.

Among these miscellaneous items, she found a strange jade pendant. The jade pendant was crystal clear, emitting a faint light, and engraved with some complex runes.

Ning Jiasheng studied it carefully for a while and found that it was a defensive magic weapon, and of a high grade.

Ning Jiasheng put the jade pendant into the space ring, and then began to look for other possible secrets in the secret room.

She found some hidden mechanisms on the walls of the secret room. These mechanisms were designed very cleverly and it was difficult to detect their existence without careful observation.

Ning Jiasheng operated these mechanisms carefully. As she operated, a wall of the secret room slowly opened, revealing a hidden compartment.

There is a jade box in the secret compartment with a sealing talisman on it, which looks very mysterious.

Ning Jiasheng walked forward and she could feel the powerful spiritual power fluctuations emanating from the jade box.

She gently peeled off the sealing talisman and opened the jade box, only to see a crystal clear attributeless demon pill inside.

This demon pill emits a faint light and contains extremely powerful spiritual power. It is obviously the inner pill of a demon with considerable cultivation.

Ning Jiasheng took it out, and she could feel the spiritual power contained in the spirit pearl resonating with the spiritual power in her body.

Ning Jiasheng suddenly felt hungry, and a desire arose in her stomach, and she wanted to swallow the magic pill immediately.

If she swallows it directly, it will be of great help to her cultivation.

But of course she couldn't do that!

Because only the demon race can directly cultivate and advance by swallowing the demon pills of their own kind. If humans want to utilize the spiritual power in them, they have to process them first.

Ning Jiasheng immediately put it back into the jade box and prepared to leave the secret room.

But at this moment, pictures suddenly appeared on the walls of the secret room, the stone door just now disappeared, and this place immediately became a prison space.

Ning Jiasheng stood there calmly, waiting for it to finish transforming. After all, it was a trial, and she wouldn't let her take things away so easily. She had already prepared herself mentally.

After a moment, Ning Jiasheng looked around and sighed softly, "Another illusion."

She stood in the center of the secret room, facing the illusion test that appeared on the stone wall.

These tests are not simple choices, but require her to go deep into the illusion and face her inner fears and desires.

Ning Jiasheng sighed and without further delay, walked towards the first illusion ahead.

Ripples appeared in the air. Ning Jiasheng was now in endless darkness. There was no sound or light around her, only loneliness and despair surging like a tide.

In the first illusion, Ning Jiasheng has to find the direction to move forward from this absolutely dark place.

She closed her eyes and began to meditate, trying to calm her mind.

Fear comes from within. Only when your heart is calm can you see the road ahead clearly.

As she meditated, after an unknown amount of time, a ray of light gradually appeared in the darkness.

Ning Jiasheng followed the light and slowly walked out of the darkness. She passed the first test.

In the second illusion, Ning Jiasheng faced betrayal from the people closest to him.

In this world, her master, senior brothers, friends, and fellow disciples all became strangers and indifferent. They turned their backs on her, leaving Ning Jiasheng alone to face all the difficulties and challenges.

Ning Jiasheng's heart was filled with pain and confusion, but she knew that this was just an illusion. She felt as if she was split apart, with the other half looking at herself expressionlessly as she was trapped in the illusion.

Ning Jiasheng knew that he couldn't let the emotions in the illusion influence his judgment.

After seeing enough, she slowly raised her arm, poured spiritual power into the sword, and aimed the red flame at everyone in the illusion.

"It's time for all this to end."

She murmured, and resolutely swung the sword forward with great force.

The sword energy was rampant, and the sword intent was surging. Everything was annihilated wherever it passed, and the surroundings shattered like ice.

The second illusion was lifted and Ning Jiasheng returned to the secret room.

This time, there was no movement in the secret room for a long time.

Ning Jiasheng waited for a while, then stroked his sword and said calmly, "If there's nothing else, I'll leave."
