The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

At a glance, there are over a thousand Fallen Glory flowers in the deep pool in front of me, crowded together, with the water droplets on them glistening and round as they flow on the petals.

Yun Yici originally thought that two or three flowers would be enough to make a bottle, but she didn't expect that even after collecting more than ten flowers, she only had half a bottle of Water Spirit Pearl Essence.

She was very cautious, quickly pressing down on each petal, and after collecting one, she decisively retreated to observe the movements in the pool.

Actually, Yun Yici also has a more convenient way to collect it, but such a big move would definitely alert the guardian beast in the pool.

Unsure of the strength of the guardian beast in the pool, in the long run, her current method of collection, though troublesome, ensures that she can collect more Water Spirit Orbs.

Yun Yici tirelessly gathered over a hundred Fallen Flower blossoms, finally collecting five bottles of pure Water Spirit Pearl essence.

During this time, the wooden plaque in her sleeve kept trembling.

They had only just entered the secret realm, and all the sect disciples combined were at full strength, totaling one hundred and twenty people.

Naturally, some unlucky ones will be teleported to the same place, so it's quite normal for them to start fighting as soon as they meet.

Soon, once the rankings stabilize, the wooden sign will fall silent.

Yun Yici casually pressed the porcelain bottle down on a fallen chrysanthemum.

The moment the water droplet rolled off the petal, she subconsciously looked down, and before she knew it, she met the eyes of a dead fish, as big as a fist, right under the flower.

The deep black water was almost impossible to see the bottom of, but Yun Yici's first thought was that it looked like a fish's eye.

Especially the whites of his eyes, which were surrounded by dark pupils, looked like they had been soaked in water and turned a deathly white, making people's scalps tingle.

Startled, Yun Yici cursed loudly and retreated rapidly, quickly forming hand seals. A sudden gust of wind swept across the calm lake, lifting all the water spirit beads from the fallen chrysanthemums on the surface of the pool.

The next moment, countless water spirit beads fell from the dark and gloomy sky.

She moved with lightning speed, first covering and storing the porcelain bottle she hadn't yet put away, then quickly tossing five bottles out of her storage bag to catch the water spirit beads that were falling from the air.

At the same time, the monster hidden in the pool finally could not bear it any longer and leaped out of the water!

Yun Yici then saw the full appearance of the monster. At a glance, it looked like a large, jet-black carp with a large, round, dead fish eye on each side of its smooth, dripping head.

The monster opened its mouth towards Yun Yici, revealing its sharp teeth.

In the instant the blue energy ball accumulated in its mouth, Yun Yici's mind raced like lightning, and Huai Chuan was drawn, shooting a sword straight into the beast's mouth.

The fish-shaped monster was instantly stuck in mid-air, its dead fish eyes twitching wildly.

The next second, Huai Chuan ripped open its belly and cut its tail along the fish bones.

Black, foul-smelling fish blood splattered everywhere, and the dismembered fish-shaped monster fell directly from the air into the swamp and lay motionless.

With the guardian beast of the pool dead, Yun Yici focused intently and quickly collected all the water spirit orbs that had been swept up in the air by the wind.

After filling them all, there were a total of fifty bottles of the Water Essence.

Luckily, she had considered synthesizing elixirs before, so she purchased a batch of elixir bottles; otherwise, she really wouldn't have had anything to store them in.

After finishing her work, Yun Yici didn't forget to give Huaichuan a cleaning spell.

Huai Chuan said, "These water spirit beads are formed from the essence of the cold pool. They can regenerate over time. The fins and tail of this fish beast are very hard, and its belly is extremely soft. They can be used as materials for refining weapons."

Under Huai Chuan's guidance, Yun Yici cut off and stored the materials from the fish-beast before turning around and retracing her steps.

On the way, she casually took out the wooden sign and looked at it. She noticed that there was an extra number after her name: 50.

This should be the reward points she received for killing the fish beast.

Those fifty bottles of water essence need to be evaluated for their value before being submitted for inclusion in her grades.

She also checked the leaderboard, and sure enough, Lu Yiguang was still in first place, with a terrifying 600 points.

Second place remains with Muyunjian, with 590 points.

His score was extremely close to Lu Yiguang's, with the two constantly fluctuating up and down.

Third is Qin Zhen, someone she doesn't know, with 550 points.

Of the top ten, besides Mu Yunjian, Xuanzhu is fourth and Ning Tinglan is fifth.

She didn't recognize the other people below her, so she just glanced at them briefly.

In the Rakshasa Illusionary Sea, there are only three ways to gain points: kill people, slay beasts, and seize treasures.

Although Yun Yici did not want to provoke trouble, she could not resist the temptation of points, since hunting down disciples of other sects could steal their points.

The more points she accumulates within the secret realm, the fewer treasures she will need to submit for those points once she leaves.

After all, calculating the score from the treasure is one thing, but it has to be submitted to the sect to be considered her actual achievement.

After Yun Yici emerged from the swamp, she found herself in front of a lush, green grassland.

She said to Huai Chuan, "Why is the terrain here so strange? Could this be the spacetime shift that Elder Yan mentioned?"

Yun Yici couldn't believe that the swamp and the grassland could be connected.

Huai Chuan said, "No, there are teleportation arrays everywhere in the Rakshasa Illusion Sea. You can't even imagine the teleportation locations, and they are extremely well hidden."

"Since you were planning to leave that place anyway, I didn't remind you."

When Yun Yici turned around again, the swamp behind her had indeed disappeared.

The inability to fly on a sword within the secret realm, coupled with the vast emptiness of this green space, was both a blessing and a curse for her.

The good thing is that the enemy monsters cannot hide, but the bad thing is that she cannot hide either.

Yun Yici dared not be careless. Holding his sword in one hand, he used the wind to sense the anomalies within this area.

The wind from afar carried an ominous scent of blood, dust kicked up by hurried running, and a smell that did not belong to humans.

It's a monster!

The monster was even injured and was fleeing in her direction!

Yun Yici had just earned 50 points and was eager to try her luck. Upon noticing the presence of the monster, she couldn't wait to go and meet it.

She was incredibly fast, and the monster opposite her was also rushing towards her.

In the short time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, Yun Yici saw the giant cat with a bell tied around its neck and bloodstains on its long white fur, rushing towards her.

The moment Yun Yici was stunned, the person on the giant cat's back became extremely anxious.

"Fellow Daoist Lingyue, is the path to survival you calculated truly here? My flying sword can barely move anymore."

The woman on the cat's back had innocent, droopy cat eyes that were lively and adorable. At this moment, her eyes were full of anxiety, both for her battle pet and for her own fate.

Ling Yue, standing behind her, affirmed, "To live in the face of death, there's no wrong way."

As soon as Ling Yue finished speaking, the woman heard the cat beneath her purr. She stood up with delight, but paused when she saw Yun Yici: "Is this our way out?"
