After changing her master, she turned to the ruthless way, and the whole sect knelt down

The apology given by Lingji City was quite good, consisting of two magical instruments of high quality, some spiritual stones and spiritual medicines, and a spiritual seed.

The most valuable of them is the spirit seed.

Lingji City is the only place in the world of cultivation that can cultivate demon spirits. Demon spirits are extremely beautiful and small in size. They are a special kind of spiritual pet.

Although its combat power is not strong, it is loved by many monks because of its rarity and extreme difficulty in cultivating.

Lingji City earns a large amount of spirit stones every year by selling demon spirits to the outside world, and is considered a wealthy city that ranks high among the major cities.

In order to ensure the uniqueness of their own demon spirits, every demon spirit sold by Lingji City is very expensive, and those demon spirits can only live for a hundred years at most and are unable to produce offspring.

In this way, the demon spirit is completely controlled by Lingji City. Anyone who wants this thing has to go to Lingji City to buy it.

And that spirit seed is a disguised demon spirit egg. As long as the spirit seed is planted in suitable soil, a flower will grow within a month, and then the demon spirit will be born.

The spirit is born from the flower, grows as the flower blooms, and dies as the flower withers.

It can be said that it is precisely because of the demon spirits' special fate of living together with flowers that they are controlled by Lingji City.

After seeing the spirit seed in Hua Lingxue's hand, everyone who gathered around couldn't help but sigh.

"Lingji City has really invested a lot this time. I heard that spirit seeds of this color are very valuable. We, the direct disciples, probably wouldn't be able to sell one even if we saved them for decades." Pointing to the red spirit seed in Hua Lingxue's hand, an elder explained.

The more colorful the spirit seed, the more beautiful the resulting demon spirit will be. Correspondingly, the more expensive the demon spirit will be.

The red one is the most expensive one. Above red is purple. However, purple cannot be bought with spirit stones. You need to have a certain status to get it.

Hua Lingxue was a little nervous when she heard this. She wanted to give the spirit seed to her master Feng Hongqiu, but was rejected: "I have no interest in this little thing. I'm afraid it will die. You should keep it for yourself."

Feng Hongqiu doesn't like to bother with these things. With so much free time, she would rather use it to dress herself up.

Since the master said so, Hua Lingxue said nothing more and kept the spirit seed.

It is said that demon spirits need to be grown in fertile soil with spiritual power. Now that they are about to enter the secret realm, it is really inconvenient to do this outside. Hua Lingxue carefully put away the spirit seeds and planned to do it again after they come out of the secret realm.

Fortunately, demon spirits were quite resilient, and their spirit seeds could remain active even in extreme environments. Therefore, Hua Lingxue only needed to ensure that the spirit seeds were not damaged, and she could plant demon spirits at any time in the future.

Lingji City’s apology was so grand that it alarmed almost half of the people in Fuyun City.

Even those who were unaware of the matter knew that the young city lord of Lingji City had offended a female disciple of Qingxiao Sect and then personally went to apologize.

For a while, the reputation of the young city lord Lingzhu actually improved a lot.

Only the disciples of Qingxiao Sect who knew the truth almost vomited out of disgust when they heard the group of people praising Lingzhu.

Xie Liuyin had also heard words like, "Young City Lord Lingzhu admitted his mistake and corrected it, and even humbled himself to apologize to an ordinary female disciple. He is really polite and decent."

She frowned as she heard this, even though she knew in her heart that this was a ploy by Floating Cloud City to make their young city lord's reputation sound better.

But when Xie Liuyin thought that this was done by stepping on the reputation earned by their Qingxiao Sect, he was filled with displeasure.

The day before entering the Nanshan Secret Realm, Xie Liuyin found Hua Lingxue and warned her, "That Lingzhu isn't a good person. When he came to offer us apology earlier, he unconsciously emanated a murderous aura."

"I guess, after we go to the secret realm this time, he will definitely find a way to target us. He might even want to kill us to wash away his shame."

Hua Lingxue was furious when she heard this: "What's there for him to do to clean up his act? I should be the one to clean up after being kidnapped by such a bastard!"

She now regrets so much that she couldn't be more powerful.

If her cultivation level was higher, she wouldn't have been captured by Lingzhu and involved in so many things.

"Don't worry about this. I'm confident I can handle him. It's not you who's at fault. It's all Lingzhu and his parents' fault. If it weren't for Lingzhu's sinister mind and his parents spoiling their child, this wouldn't have happened."

Seeing Hua Lingxue's self-loathing, Xie Liuyin spoke to comfort her at the right time.

She didn't think there was anything wrong with Hua Lingxue. She practiced diligently in the sect and never slacked off.

At Hua Lingxue's age, there are very few people who have the cultivation level she has now. It is not her fault that she cannot defeat Lingzhu's guards, and it is not her fault that she is targeted by Lingzhu because she is beautiful.

Lingzhu did something bad, so the retribution should naturally fall on him.

After hearing Xie Liuyin's words, Hua Lingxue felt a little better.

"Anyway, you should be prepared in advance. Don't separate from our team after entering the secret realm. If you are accidentally left alone, remember to act cautiously and don't trust anyone easily." Xie Liuyin continued to remind.

There are many good things in the Nanshan Secret Realm, but that also means there are many dangers.

Xie Liuyin even agreed on a secret code with Hua Lingxue and others to recognize each other. If they separated halfway, they had to use the same secret code when they met each other again, otherwise the other person would definitely not be themselves and could not be trusted at all.

Hua Lingxue and Princess Luo memorized the secret code and said they would be careful.

With everyone's careful preparation, the secret realm of Nanshan was finally opened.

The secret realm of Nanshan is hidden in the mountains. On the day the secret realm was opened, the entire Nanshan was split apart, and the entrance to the secret realm hidden in the mountain appeared before everyone.

The monks who had been waiting for a long time rushed into the secret realm teleportation array as quickly as possible, hoping to find the treasures in the secret realm faster than others.

Xie Liuyin and others were naturally no exception. Their Qingxiao Sect team was the third to enter.

The Beast King Clan was ahead of them and probably squeezed them out and took their place.

When the Qingxiao Sect disciples saw this, their dissatisfaction with the Beast King Sect intensified.

"They did it on purpose. I just saw a female cultivator wearing a veil looking back at us provocatively." Hua Lingxue leaned close to Xie Liuyin's ear and complained to her in a low voice.

Xie Liuyin's eyes were dim: "I guess you don't know that the veiled female cultivator just now was Xie Mingzhu."

"What, it's her? That's not surprising!" Hua Lingxue and Xie Mingzhu had not been together for a long time. When they were in the secret realm, they didn't observe each other much, so they couldn't recognize her at first glance.

Now that Xie Liuyin said this, she immediately realized that the female cultivator's eyebrows and eyes were indeed very familiar.

"Hmph, she's here just in time. We let her escape punishment so easily back then. We absolutely can't let her off so easily this time!"
