Senior brothers, please stop abusing me. I'm going to change my ways to be merciless.

Gold, wood, water, fire and earth correspond to the five elements of spiritual roots.

The five elements are mutually generated and restrained, but Fan Li's ice spirit root is not among the five elements, which means that no one can restrain her.

Anyone who has fought against Fan Li knows how abnormal her ice spiritual roots are. Therefore, even if her cultivation level is not very high, it is quite troublesome to deal with her.

This disciple told everyone that Fan Li had been severely injured in his foundation by Ouyang Jin half a year ago, and everyone was shocked when they heard it.

"The Tianji Sect is so foolish! Talents like Fan Li are hard to come by, and they didn't protect him well. What a shame!"

Lu Xingran also felt it was a pity. If a talent like Fan Li were placed in the Jianmen Sect, he would definitely be treated like a treasure.

The Tianji Sect is really wasting talent.

Just now they noticed that Fan Li was walking at the end, not with Su Muqing and others. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that they had a conflict.

Thinking of Junior Sister Song, who had a close relationship with Su Muqing, Lu Xingran immediately understood the problem and couldn't help but sneer.

"Senior Sister Lu, what are you laughing at?" someone asked curiously.

Lu Xingran waved her hand: "Nothing, I just laughed at how some people are blind and mistake stones for pearls."

The junior brother scratched his head, confused.

Fan Li was excluded by them.

Lu Xingran stopped chatting and, after discussing the tactics, said to everyone, "Let's go, get on the road."

......

the other side.

Su Muqing, Fan Li and others came to a valley where the secret realm was opened.

Looking around, there were crowds of people, at least nearly a thousand monks, and the scene was quite spectacular.

Not every cultivator can enter the secret realm at will. In order to ensure that the secret realm does not collapse, each secret realm has a cultivation limit.

The Lingyu Secret Realm only allows cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm to enter, which means that the highest level of opponents they encounter after entering the secret realm is only the late Golden Core Realm.

The five major sects have a profound foundation, and there must be at least one late Jindan cultivator in the training teams they send out.

Fan Li looked up and saw a huge and deep cave. The entrance of the cave was extremely dark and eerie, as if a sleeping giant beast was about to wake up.

Fan Li could sense an invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave and thought that this must be the entrance to the secret realm.

The monks who come here will unconsciously keep quiet and no one will chat.

There was not a trace of wind in the valley, like the calm before the storm.

Fan Li looked around anxiously. She looked up at the sky and inexplicably felt as if they were in a huge eggshell.

She glanced at Song Xixi calmly.

Song Xixi sat on a rock, looking excited and expectant, with an unusual blush on her cheeks, and she had no fear of the unknown at all.

Song Xixi really knows something, Fan Li thought.

Retracting his gaze, Fan Li looked around, searching for the Beastmaster Sect.

The Beast Taming Sect is one of the five major sects, and it is easy to identify just by looking at its appearance.

Soon, her eyes fell on the group of monks near the cave entrance.

They did not have uniform clothing, but everyone had colorful patterns painted on their faces, like some kind of ancient written symbols, faintly revealing a sense of divinity.

Fan Li keenly noticed that the expressions of these Beast Taming Sect disciples were very serious and solemn, and they had no anticipation of participating in the treasure hunt at all.

A man who looked like an elder of the Beast Taming Sect was sitting cross-legged on an elephant, with his eyes closed, as if waiting for something.

This person had a bald head, with intricate and bizarre patterns stretching from the top of his head to the back. In the Beastmaster Sect, the more patterns one had on their body, the higher their status.

In the previous life, people from the Beast Taming Sect also entered the secret realm, but no one knew what they did in the secret realm. All they knew was that after the secret realm ended, some people from the Beast Taming Sect were injured.

But they were all minor injuries, unlike the heavy casualties suffered by other sects.

Inexplicably, Fan Li vaguely smelled a conspiracy.

She silently withdrew her gaze, and when she raised it, she was suddenly met with Xiao Yan's inquiring gaze, and was slightly stunned.

Xiao Yan looked at her with interest.

Fan Li frowned.

Are you staring at her like this because you're afraid she'll do something to hurt Song Xixi?

Fan Li looked straight into his eyes and thought to himself, this man has eyes as big as copper bells and hasn't blinked for such a long time, don't his eyes feel dry?

Just as he was thinking this, Xiao Yan winked at her.

Blink? Was that a warning to her?

Fan Li looked away indifferently and didn't look at him.

Xiao Yan was still looking at Fan Li. He was thinking, Brother Nianzhi's sister doesn't look like him at all. They must be half-sisters.

At this moment, a strong wind suddenly blew in the valley.

The elephant swung its thick trunk and let out a neighing sound that echoed throughout the valley.

The monks present were shocked. Those who were sitting or lying down all stood up and looked towards the entrance to the secret realm.

The bald elder opened his eyes and finally spoke.

"My fellow Taoists, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting. Before we enter the secret realm, please allow me to emphasize two things."

The old and deep voice resounded throughout the valley, and the pressure of the Nascent Soul Realm was unconsciously emanated. The cultivators became alert instinctively, their eyes slightly fixed.

The bald elder said slowly, "First, everyone must hold onto the feather. This item is not only the pass to enter the secret realm, but also the pass to exit after the secret realm ends."

As soon as the bald elder finished speaking, Song Xixi whispered to Su Muqing.

"Big Brother, let me keep your feather."

Su Muqing heard this and although he was a little confused, he still did as he was told.

Song Xixi only cared about Su Muqing asking for the feathers, and she had no intention of helping to keep the feathers of her fourth and fifth senior brothers.

The other two didn't notice her little action.

The bald elder continued, "Secondly, everyone, please remember that you must never contract with the spirit beasts in the secret realm."

As if seeing the crowd's confusion, the bald elder explained solemnly, "The spirit beasts in the secret realm are all transformed from demon beasts. Some demon beasts are extremely cunning and insidious. They will transform into high-level spirit beasts to lure cultivators to open their sea of ​​consciousness and then devour their souls!"

There was a cry of surprise from below.

There is such a strange monster!

The bald elder glanced at the crowd and said earnestly, "That's why I want to remind you not to try to contract any spirit beasts in the secret realm."

Everyone believed what the elder said without a doubt.

After all, this is the territory of the Beast Taming Sect. No one knows the situation of the secret realm better than the people of the Beast Taming Sect. It is always better to be cautious.

Doubt flashed in Fan Li's eyes.

In her previous life, Song Xixi had contracted the Phoenix Black Bird in the secret realm. This bird was undoubtedly a rare spiritual beast. There was probably only one in the sky and on earth, so it could not be a demon beast.

This shows that what the elder said was not entirely true.

The bald elder stroked his beard as he spoke, "This secret realm trial is open to all cultivators. After the secret realm ends, the top ten cultivators with the most demon cores can choose a spiritual-level pet beast or a pet cultivation manual from the Beastmaster Sect."

"Besides that, any treasures you obtain in the secret realm will belong to you personally, and we, the Beast Taming Sect, will not interfere."

As soon as these words were spoken, the cultivators were collectively excited, and they sighed at the Beast Taming Sect's magnanimity and generosity!

The bald elder smiled and said, "These are just a small token of our gratitude from the Beast Taming Sect. Well, the entrance to the secret realm has been opened, so I won't waste any more of your time."

The bald elder gave his disciples a look, and the leading disciple understood. Then he led his fellow disciples into the secret realm in full view of everyone.

After seeing the Beast Taming Sect disciples disappear into the barrier, the monks felt much more relieved.

Once someone takes the lead, the people behind him can't wait to rush in, fearing that they will be snatched away if they are a step late.

In contrast, people from the five major sects are relatively calm and steady, neither anxious nor impatient.

Su Muqing's expression was unusually serious. "You must remember one thing: life is the most important thing, treasure is second. You must not forget the worry about your life because of greed for treasure. If you abandon your life for treasure, you are actually putting the cart before the horse. Do you understand?"

The disciples responded in unison.

Su Muqing's right eyelid twitched, and he gave another long-winded instruction: "Don't go too far away. If you encounter danger in the secret realm, remember not to act arrogantly. If you encounter trouble that you can't solve, you can contact me through the sound transmission jade slip."

When Su Muqing said this, his eyes were clearly fixed on Fan Li.

He knew that after entering the secret realm, Fan Li would not go with them.

In the past, she had always been by his side during training, and this was the first time they were apart, so he was very worried.

Fan Li was indifferent to Su Muqing's concerned look.

Seeing that she showed no sign of wavering, Su Muqing sighed silently.

Lin Zichen was thinking: It would be best if Fan Li didn't bother them, so that they wouldn't have to be distracted to protect her.
