Junior sister took first place again

After Ning Jiasheng asked this question, the secret room fell silent for a moment. After a while, a voice rang out in the air, tinged with doubt: "Why is it that you have no desires or fears in your heart?"

The spirit was quite puzzled. According to common sense, she should not have been able to break through the first two illusions so quickly. In this case, the third illusion she had carefully prepared might be useless to Ning Jiasheng.

Therefore, it couldn't help but ask.

Ning Jiasheng raised the corner of his mouth and sneered: "If I get it, I'm lucky, if I lose it, I'm dead. This is all nonsense! What I seek is what I have worked hard to obtain, and if I lose it, it's because I gave it up."

"As for fear, when I was alone, I didn't fear anything. Now I have the love and care of my elders and the company of my close friends. What in this world do I have to fear?"

Ning Jiasheng's words echoed in the secret room. Her voice was calm and firm, revealing a sense of detachment and confidence.

Her attitude surprised the owner of the voice, because few people could see the truth so quickly and keep such a clear mind in an illusion.

The guardian spirit in the dark was silent for a while, as if thinking about Ning Jiasheng's words.

After a moment, the voice spoke again, this time with a hint of appreciation: "Your answer... makes a lot of sense."

"It seems I haven't thought highly enough of you. You have a strong heart and are not moved by external things. This is a rare quality in a cultivator."

"Since you have passed the test, according to the rules, the treasures here belong to you."

Ning Jiasheng smiled slightly to express his gratitude.

She knew that the owner of this voice might be the guardian spirit of this secret place, or the host of some kind of test.

Therefore, she replied neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Thank you for the compliment. Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go to the next place first."

"Next place?"

The voice said puzzledly: "This place is desolate. All the treasures are here. There is nothing in the outside world. There is no need to waste time."

"?"

A question mark slowly appeared on Ning Jiasheng's forehead.

"Isn't this the Cangwu Secret Realm? You even drew a map, so how could there be no treasures? Even the elixirs on the table are the ones needed to enter this secret realm."

This time, the silence lasted even longer. After a while, he sighed softly and spoke in a complicated tone, "So that's how it is! This place has actually become the Cangwu Trial Ground."

Ning Jiasheng's heart skipped a beat, and he couldn't help but ask, "Did I fall out of the secret realm?"

"No, you are still in the secret realm. But the formation you are in now was left here many years ago. Aside from the demon pill, all other items were dropped nearby from the secret realm and then moved here by the formation."

After a few simple explanations, before Ning Jiasheng could ask any more questions, the voice suddenly turned melancholic. "I know you're a disciple of the Xuanling Sect. I have an unfulfilled wish, and I hope you can help me fulfill it."

Ning Jiasheng raised an eyebrow. She was curious about this sudden request, but she didn't rush to answer. Instead, she asked, "What is your wish?"

The guardian spirit's voice carried a hint of loneliness and expectation:

"A great battle once took place here, and my master fell in this battle long ago."

"You have awakened me and taken the demon pill left by my master. Cause and effect are cyclical, and everything has its destiny. Therefore, one day in the future, if you have mastered your studies, you must avenge my master."

Ah... suddenly I have a new enemy.

Ning Jiasheng, burdened with KPIs, weighed the pros and cons for a moment before asking weakly, "Can I ask first who your master's enemy is?"

The spirit in the dark shook its head, "I can't tell you. You took the master's things, and you will find out one day."

What if I tell her now and she gets scared away?

It was about to disappear, and it was too late for others to come and find it.

Moreover, such an outstanding seedling is hard to come by, and he is a disciple of Xuanling Sect. All of this is God's will and must be seized.

Ning Jiasheng couldn't help but take out the jade box containing the demon pill. "You are dishonest. I can't promise you rashly. I will keep the things. You can find someone who is willing to help."

As he said this, he put the things back on the stone platform, then turned and walked towards the stone gate.

"Wait!" The voice called Ning Jiasheng anxiously.

Ning Jiasheng turned a deaf ear and continued forward.

"You found this thing, and from the beginning you intended to keep it for yourself. Even if you return it now..."

The voice paused, then continued with a hint of coldness: "The cause and effect have been established. You can no longer refuse."

Ning Jiasheng paused. She knew that what the spirit said made sense, but knowing was one thing and doing it was another.

She just didn't like this slightly forced tone.

Ning Jiasheng stopped, but did not turn back. He turned his back to it and said in a deep voice:

"I won't deny that I do intend to take this demon pill for myself. I also understand that this means I will have to bear the corresponding responsibilities. However, I cannot rashly agree to your request based solely on your one-sided statement."

The guardian spirit's voice sounded somewhat anxious. It knew it didn't have much time left and had to convince Ning Jiasheng as soon as possible, so it slowed down its tone and said:

"You have no need to be afraid. My master's revenge does not require you to seek immediate revenge. You only need to remember what I said today when you are able to do so. That will be sufficient."

He clenched his fists and then quickly unclenched them, a trace of helplessness flashing through Ning Jiasheng's mind.

She slowly turned around, facing the guardian spirit in the air, her tone calm and firm: "I understand what you mean. Since I'm already involved in this cause and effect, running away is not an option. I am willing to take this responsibility, but I also have one condition."

The person on the other end seemed relieved, and there was a hint of anticipation in his voice: "What are the conditions?"

Ning Jiasheng stared in that direction and said calmly, "I want to know information about your master, the ins and outs of the matter, and the possible opponents and dangers he may face."

The guardian spirit refused without a second thought, his voice firm, "I cannot reveal the master's specific information. I can only tell you that when you are ready and strong enough, the truth will naturally be revealed to you."

Ning Jiasheng: “…

She smiled kindly: "Can you say that again?"

The incorporeal guardian spirit seemed to shudder.

Ning Jiasheng's smile grew brighter, but there was no smile in his eyes. "Either give me the information I want, or I'll leave now. You choose one."

The guardian spirit said helplessly, "I really cannot disobey my master's orders. However, I can give you some hints. The demon pill in your hand contains great power, and it may be able to help you at a critical moment. Also, the road to finding the truth will not be smooth sailing, so you need to be careful."

Ning Jiasheng stood there in silence, wondering whether what the other party said was true, but he felt that there didn't seem to be much substantive content.

However, at this moment, the voice came again, becoming weaker and weaker. "I believe that the disciples of Xuanling Sect are definitely not the kind of people who are afraid of death and do not keep their promises. The road of cultivation is full of dangers. I wish you a safe journey."

As he spoke, he seemed to have used up every last bit of his strength.

As the words fell, his figure gradually disappeared into the air.

Before disappearing, he did not forget to put Ning Jiasheng on the moral high ground, putting her in a dilemma.

Ning Jiasheng returned to his original place and picked up the jade box. He couldn't help but snorted softly and muttered to himself:

"Hmph! I really don't understand who could have left behind such a cunning and difficult guardian spirit, spouting nonsense and useless words."

Even though she knew that there might be some kind of cause and effect relationship involved, if she really had no intention of taking the demon pill away, she would naturally not be afraid of bearing any consequences caused by it.

As for threatening herself with the moral character of the disciples of Xuanling Sect, it was really a wrong idea. She didn't care about other people's strange looks and opinions at all.

What's more, if she needs to do evil things in the future, she can temporarily stop being a disciple of Xuanling Sect.

Ning Jiasheng has a clear understanding of herself. In fact, she is not a very moral person at all.

But on the surface, she is still very polite, courteous and friendly, and very sincere to her own people; but to outsiders, she is more of a perfunctory person.

This is also because of her past work. After all, for the sake of money, she has long been accustomed to this way of dealing with things. It can reduce the vigilance of others and make it easier to obtain the information she wants.
