Oh my god! I've become the vicious female supporting character's brother.

Yu Xiangwan: “…” The fire spirit root really makes everything convenient.

The two men cleared the ground of all traces that might have led to their discovery.

He vaguely heard the sound of imperceptible footsteps in the distance, so Yu Xiangwan put his arm around Ye Zhenan's waist and quickly used the Stepping Wind Technique to fly to the other side.

A moment later, a man in an indigo-purple jade robe with brocade patterns appeared in the wind and snow, looking at the mess on the snow in front of him with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

After a stick of incense, Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhen'an finally walked out of the vast snowfield.

Yu Xiangwan held Ye Zhen'an's waist and flew into a lush forest. Then he let go of Ye Zhen'an, used his spiritual power to investigate, and after making sure that there was nothing unusual around, he said to Ye Zhen'an.

"It's safe here for now. Let's stay here for one night and go out tomorrow to look for other opportunities."

The secret realm will be open for one year, which is plenty of time.

Moreover, when he was fighting with that man just now, he felt that his cultivation was loosening slightly, as if there was a sign of a breakthrough.

Yu Xiangwan found a cave that was mostly covered by grass and trees. It was filled with dust and there was no trace of any monsters.

Ye Zhen'an inspected the area and found nothing unusual, so he took out a defensive array and a concealment array from his storage ring and placed them at the entrance of the cave.

Then he took out the four petals of the thousand-year-old lotus that he had picked earlier and handed them to Yu Xiangwan.

Yu Xiangwan took out two petals and put them into the jade box, and returned the rest to Ye Zhenan.

"Brother, we both obtained this Millennium Mystical Lotus together, so you should have half."

Ye Zhen'an was silent for a moment before he said, "I don't know how to make pills."

Yu Xiangwan was also silenced by Ye Zhen'an's words. After all, to refine the Nine Lives Revitalizing Pill, one must be at least a seventh-rank alchemist.

Over the past hundreds of years, Danfeng has lost its talent. Except for Yu Lin, the peak master of Danfeng, who is an eighth-level alchemist, the highest alchemist among the others is only a sixth-level alchemist.

Yu Lin went into seclusion a year ago, and no one knows when he will come out again.

It is indeed a tricky problem.

Yu Xiangwan was unsure of Ye Zhenan's intention and tried to probe.

"Then I'll keep them all for now. When I find an opportunity, I'll refine them into the Nine Lives Revitalizing Pill and give them to you."

Ye Zhen'an nodded slightly when he heard this. After the two of them wiped off the spiritual marks on the three storage bags they had picked up, they took out all the contents and divided them equally.

There are 700 top-grade spirit stones, 6,000 mid-grade spirit stones, 22,000 low-grade spirit stones, and the rest are some low-level elixirs and talismans, mixed with a few low-level formation plates.

After the two divided the loot, Ye Zhen'an sat in a corner of the cave and continued to practice.

Yu Xiangwan felt embarrassed to sleep when he saw Ye Zhen'an working so hard against time.

Besides, it’s better not to sleep, as it will allow me to break through the sixth level of foundation building in one fell swoop.

So he sat down cross-legged next to Ye Zhen'an, calmed his mind and began to practice.

However, after this training is over, there will be another sect competition in two years.

This time, it is the Fuyao Sect's turn to host the sect competition. At that time, each sect will select the top 200 disciples in the Foundation Establishment Stage and Golden Core Stage to come to the Fuyao Sect to participate in the competition.

The top 100 disciples will receive points rewards within the sect in turn.

In addition to a reward of 20,000 points each, the top three disciples will also receive Earth-level prizes jointly offered by various sects. As for what the prizes are, no one knows except the five sect masters. The prizes for each sect competition are different.

next day

When Yu Xiangwan opened his eyes, his cultivation had already stabilized at the sixth level of Foundation Establishment, while Ye Zhenan was still immersed in cultivation.

Although the spiritual energy in the secret realm is indeed more concentrated and conducive to cultivation, it does not make much difference to Yu Xiangwan, except that he absorbs spiritual power faster.

It was not until the end of the Mao hour that Ye Zhen'an opened his eyes when he felt the burning gaze on him. He looked at Yu Xiang'an and asked,

"What's wrong?"

Yu Xiangwan came back to his senses after hearing Ye Zhen'an's question. Having just seen Ye Zhen'an practicing so seriously, he wanted to see how he could practice for twelve hours a day without a single break.

Wouldn't you feel tired? Although cultivators can go without food and sleep after building their foundation, wouldn't the mind be tired even if the body isn't tired from practicing day and night?

Yu Xiangwan didn't understand and was shocked.

He really admired Ye Zhen'an. No wonder he became the villain in the original book. His perseverance alone was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

"Nothing much, since Brother has finished his training, let's set off."

Yu Xiangwan didn't figure out what was going on and was caught red-handed by the real culprit, so he said embarrassedly.

The two men put away the formation plate at the entrance of the cave. Yu Xiangwan walked while collecting spiritual plants he encountered along the way. He did not miss any of the low-level spiritual plants that he had planted in his space.

Wherever he and Ye Zhen'an passed, they were like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind.

The two of them picked spiritual plants during the day and practiced at night, and their time was arranged perfectly.

During this period, when they met some disciples from other sects, they both took detours and kept their distance.

It was not until half a year later, when Yu Xiangwan was squatting on the ground picking a second-level ginseng grass and Ye Zhenan was handing him a storage jade box, that a loud noise suddenly came from the distance.

Yu Xiangwan was so frightened that his hands trembled, and the roots of the ginseng grass were directly broken.

Yu Xiangwan was speechless and choked. He put the ginseng grass in his hand into the jade box before standing up and looking towards the source of the sound.

"Why is there such a sudden commotion?"

Ye Zhen'an's eyes moved slightly, and he followed Yu Xiang'an's gaze and said, "It should be that a rare treasure is about to be born."

Yu Xiangwan looked at Ye Zhen'an and knew that he was moved.

He calmed his mind and concentrated his spiritual power in his palms, placed his hands on the big tree in front of him, and closed his eyes slightly.

This was a wonderful use of the wood spirit body that he discovered accidentally. As long as he covered the grass and trees with spiritual power, he could understand the intentions of the grass and trees and observe all the movements around him from the perspective of the grass and trees.

After a long while, Yu Xiangwan opened his crystal clear eyes and said softly,

"Most people in the secret realm are heading there."

"Brother, let's go and take a look too."

After spending these days together, Yu Xiangwan finally understood.

Although Ye Zhen'an usually seems to not care about anything except cultivation, he actually has an inexplicable obsession with spirit stones.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have accompanied him to pick spiritual plants for more than half a year.

It’s because you can earn spirit stones.

When Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhen'an arrived, people from the five major sects and a group of independent cultivators had already gathered at the scene.

The two did not show up, but secretly covered themselves with grass and trees and hid behind the scenes.

I don’t know what came out this time, attracting so many people to wait here.

The road ahead was flat and Yu Xiangwan and Ye Zhen'an could see everything.

When Yu Xiangwan saw the familiar figure below, he dug out the relevant plot from the original book deep in his memory.

One of the protagonist's rare treasures was discovered in a secret realm.

The original text only briefly mentioned the origin of the rare treasure. Could it be that it was discovered in this secret realm?

The five major sects and a group of independent cultivators were all looking at the place where the unusual movement had just occurred, ready to take action.

Among them was a person with a gentle temperament. He was dressed in an indigo-purple gauze dress, his long hair tied back with a purple jade hairpin, like a noble young man from a noble family. He just stood in the crowd, casting a nonchalant glance, his dignity and aloofness naturally flowing through him...

That indifferent glance happened to meet Yu Xiangwan's.

Yu Xiangwan, who was hiding behind a tree, unexpectedly met his eyes.

Yu Xiangwan: “…”

This person is too sharp, I can't even take a look at him.

The man seemed to just glance at her casually and left in a moment.

Yu Xiangwan was curious and sent a message to Ye Zhen'an beside him.

"Brother, do you know who that person wearing an indigo-purple gauze robe standing in the Chengfeng Sect is?"

Ye Zhenan glanced towards Chengfeng Sect with his clear eyes after hearing this, and then said

"Xu Qingran."
