Quick Travel: Destiny for Thirty Lifetimes

The tracking talisman is very useful. All disciples of Guiyuan Sect are equipped with a personal positioning talisman. After burning, the tracking talisman will turn into wisps of smoke to guide them to find other disciples.

After all the disciples had gathered, Senior Brother Qin breathed a sigh of relief. He could then lead everyone in their search for resources. Secret realms didn't contain everything. The first small secret realms opened mostly contained rare herbs and small monsters, primarily for the disciples to gain experience. As for opportunities, it all depended on luck.

Although they listened to the outer disciple's mumbling about the terrible demon king for a long time, the other disciples did not feel afraid at all. Not to mention that the demon king had been dragged into the Soul-Breaking Abyss by their sect's ancestor and perished together with him hundreds of years ago, and he didn't even have a soul. Their senior brother Qin was at a higher level than this secret realm, so there would be no big problem after all.

Du Xiaochen was originally following the main group, but he paused when passing by an inconspicuous place. He looked up at the back of Senior Brother Qin, and then he flicked his hand in the sleeve into the air, and Xiaojiu jumped off his shoulder, shouting and running in the opposite direction.

Brother Qin turned around when he heard the voice. Du Xiaochen looked anxious and wanted to turn around and chase after him: "Brother, I'm going to go find Xiaojiu. You guys go ahead."

"Can you do it by yourself? Otherwise, let them wait here first, and I will go with you?" This is the junior brother that the master asked to take good care of. Senior Brother Qin is worried about him being alone.

Du Xiaochen shook his head, his expression becoming increasingly anxious. "It's okay, Senior Brother. You can lead the team first. The road we've walked before won't be too dangerous. I'll go find Xiaojiu first."

After saying this, without even looking at Senior Brother Qin's reaction, Du Xiaochen turned around and walked back.

Senior Brother Qin watched Du Xiaochen disappear from his sight, and after a while he spoke, "Alright, let's keep going forward. There should be monsters ahead, so everyone, be on guard and don't underestimate the enemy."

The outer disciple's eyes rolled, and he suddenly walked over to Senior Brother Qin and said, "Senior Brother, why don't I go meet up with Junior Brother Du? After all, I'm at a higher level and can take care of him."

In reality, outer and inner disciples are not as good as direct disciples. They generally receive the full support of their master, and the things they learn are very different. Therefore, even at the same realm, a direct disciple in the early stages is not necessarily inferior to an outer disciple in the middle stages. Especially since Junior Brother Du is the only disciple of Qingli Divine Monarch, who is the most favored among his fellow disciples, Junior Brother Du's resources are naturally not lacking.

Senior Brother Qin was speechless, glanced at his confident look, and nodded in agreement.

"Don't worry, senior brother, I will definitely bring Junior Brother Du back safely." The outer disciple turned around and walked past the other disciples with his head held high, then chased in the direction Du Xiaochen left.

The other disciples didn't understand what he was trying to do. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say, and simply followed Senior Brother Qin and continued forward.

After Du Xiaochen disappeared from everyone's sight, he first found a nearby cave and threw a concealment talisman into the cave entrance. Xiaojiu suddenly rushed in, crouched down and meowed at him.

He couldn't help but laugh. It looked like Xiaojiu's scolding must have been very unpleasant.

Lian Qingyang had originally wanted to visit his apprentice, but couldn't leave because the day of his senior brother's bond was approaching. Xiaojiu's extremely angry voice echoed in his mind: "Your apprentice abused me! He cast a spell to make me leave the team and then found a cave to hide in! Why did he hurt me when he did such a bad thing! That just now was as uncomfortable as if my butt was on fire."

Knowing that his apprentice was safe, Lian Qingyang felt relieved and said comfortingly, "Then let him grill you some meat to make up for it. Eat whatever you need to replenish your body. Just eat a few more chicken butts and you'll be fine."

"Do you know what a metaphor is? I didn't get my butt burned!!"

Du Xiaochen ignored Xiaojiu's continued shouting and waited quietly for a while before slipping out of the cave. When he returned to his original position, the others had already left and there were no other sect disciples nearby. As soon as he approached here, the inexplicable palpitations appeared again.

He frowned and looked around, but there was nothing unusual. He simply walked around and finally stopped at an ordinary piece of ground.

Xiaojiu, who followed, seemed to sense something unusual as well. He circled around Du Xiaochen's feet, barking from time to time.

Du Xiaochen could feel a fluctuation of energy here, but he couldn't find out what it was. He took out a talisman from his storage ring, and the burnt black ashes fell to his feet, but nothing happened in front of him.

Seeing that this method had no effect, he simply raised his hand towards the ground and tried to mobilize his spiritual power.

As the spiritual power was output, the ground in front of him indeed changed. A circular vortex gradually appeared on the originally flat ground. Du Xiaochen could feel that the inexplicable energy became stronger, which aroused his strong desire to explore. Is this the opportunity?

He put down his hand and stepped forward to go in and take a look, but suddenly heard a voice behind him.

"Junior Brother Du, so you're here! I had such a hard time finding you!"

Du Xiaochen looked back upon hearing the voice and saw the outer disciple running towards him hurriedly with a look of joy on his face, completely devoid of the contempt he had shown him before.

He turned back to the man and said modestly, "Brother, thank you for taking the trouble to find me."

"It's okay, it's okay. After all, I'm your senior brother, and my realm is higher than yours. It's not good for me to leave the team without someone else." The outer disciple stopped half a step away, speaking some high-sounding words, his eyes already glancing behind Du Xiaochen, and asked knowingly, "What are you doing...?"

He didn't have the time to look for Du Xiaochen. He just stayed away from the team's sight and returned to his original place to wait. He wanted to see what Du Xiaochen had done when he left alone. Sure enough, this kid came back to cause trouble. There must be good things in that vortex. Seeing that Du Xiaochen was about to go in, he hurried out to stop him, thinking of getting a piece of the pie. If this was an opportunity, he would make a fortune!

Du Xiaochen glanced sideways at the vortex behind him, pondering to himself, "I'm not too sure either. This is my first time entering a secret realm, and I've just reached the Nascent Soul stage. I'm afraid I can't handle it. Brother, can you come in with me?"

The outer disciple's eyes lit up, and even though he tried hard to control his emotions, a hint of excitement remained on his face. He took a step forward, pretending to be concerned. "Junior Brother Du, what are you talking about? As your senior brother, I will naturally protect you... Then let's go in now, so as not to run into people from other sects and be overtaken by them."

Du Xiaochen nodded obediently, paused for a moment, and followed the man. They entered the vortex one after another. Seeing this, Xiaojiu also jumped in.

The vortex slowly shrank and returned to flat ground, as if nothing unusual had ever happened here.
