Shen Yuan Ring

Ji Daoyi did not immediately respond to Yao Yuyao's question, but instead turned his gaze to Ji Xiaolan and said slowly, "We can only know the truth after Xiaolan wakes up. Perhaps there are some unknown secrets hidden in it."

"That's good. We can rest here for a while and then make our next plan after Xiaolan wakes up."

The members of the Medicine Clan nodded in agreement. They had been traveling for several days and needed a good rest.

Moreover, they realized that their leader had no intention of parting ways with the Ji family, so they naturally wouldn't do something thankless at this moment.

Whether it succeeds or not, it will offend two parties: one is the eldest princess of their family, the hope for the future of the family, and the other is an untouchable figure in the current secret realm, who is also the young master of the Ji family!

A day later, Ji Daoyi did not do nothing; he went to the Ascending Heaven Platform to investigate the situation.

Before this, Ji Daoyi had arranged for the Yao family and Ji Fan to dispose of the 'trash' he had killed. Everyone was initially unwilling, but because he was the leader of the entire team, they had no choice but to obey his orders.

After giving his instructions, Ji Daoyi suddenly stopped in his tracks as he turned around and said, "By the way, I didn't take their storage bags. Consider these storage bags your reward!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed. Ji Daoyi's words were like a shot of adrenaline, greatly boosting their morale. They began searching through the corpses they had been assigned, all regretting that they hadn't taken more.

Of course, the happiest person was Ji Fan. He was originally a member of the Ji family, so he moved the most corpses and therefore obtained the most storage bags.

……

Seeing that Ji Xiaolan had finished treating her injuries, Ji Daoyi asked, "Xiaolan, how are you feeling?"

"It's alright, everything's back to normal, it won't affect my future cultivation! I wonder how the Iron-Eating Beast is doing, it's more seriously injured than me." Ji Xiaolan said, then looked at the Iron-Eating Beast that should have been sitting, and exclaimed in surprise, "Hey, where's the Iron-Eating Beast? Where did it go?"

"It's all better now. It went out hunting with Crescent Moon and should be back soon. Look, they're back!"

As soon as Ji Daoyi finished speaking, they saw the Iron-Eating Beast paw at the corpse of a demon beast, and Crescent Moon carrying a sizable tiger in its mouth as it ran towards their camp.

After throwing down the monster's corpse, the Iron-Eating Beast ran to Ji Xiaolan's side and touched her with its paw as a greeting. Ji Xiaolan also indicated that she was fine.

"This haul is good; enough for everyone to have a good meal," Ji Daoyi said.

The group then began preparing the barbecue, and the aroma filled the air.

"Xiaolan, you're only at the first stage of the Internal Organ Refinement Realm right now. Why don't you try the Ascending Heaven Platform? It will give you unexpected results, and Wang Dan and the others have benefited a lot from it. I also want you to give it a try."

Ji Daoyi still shared his thoughts with Ji Xiaolan. After all, there was no danger, and it could even enhance her knowledge and skills, so it was a win-win situation.

Of course, the final decision rests with her, and Ji Daoyi cannot force her if she is unwilling.

"Didn't the inheritance assessment already end? Is the Ascension Platform still usable now?" Ji Xiaolan asked doubtfully, and the others also looked at Ji Daoyi with puzzled expressions.

"This Ascension Platform is merely something that Qi Wei borrowed. The platform itself has little to do with him, so you don't need to worry. Moreover, I've also found out that as long as you don't reach the top, it will still be useful to you."

"Moreover, Ji Xiaohu and the others are about to clear the level. The one who gained the most this time is Wang Dan. He is breaking through to the Tendon Refining Realm!" Ji Daoyi couldn't help but envy Wang Dan's luck. Even he didn't expect that Wang Dan would have such an opportunity to break through to the Tendon Refining Realm in the secret realm.

After this secret realm ends, he won't need to return to the outer academy; he'll directly become an inner academy disciple.

Ji Daoyi then said to the Yao family, "If you wish, you can continue climbing the Ascending Heaven Platform. I plan not to explore any other places before the secret realm opens. Of course, if you want to explore other places, feel free to do so."

"Ah~"

The members of the Yao family looked at each other, unsure of what to say. Finally, they all looked at Yao Yuyao, wanting to see what she thought.

Seeing that everyone was waiting for her opinion, Yao Yuyao said after a moment, "My opinion is the same as Ji Daoyi's. Of course, if you want to explore the secret realm on your own, I won't stop you."

Time flies like an arrow; in the blink of an eye, a month has quietly passed.

During this period, Ji Daoyi was extremely leisurely. He 'lured' the others back to the rooftop, letting them enjoy the 'fun' of the test to the fullest, while he leisurely tallied up his gains.

His trip to the secret realm was incredibly fruitful; everything Qi Wei owned came into his possession.

Cultivation techniques and Yuan skills piled up like small mountains, so that he no longer needed to worry about not having any Yuan skills to use when he was in the Nascent Yuan Realm; he also had several alchemy furnaces, but his best alchemy furnace was the eight-aperture exquisite furnace that his master had given him.

Of course, what excited him the most was the storage ring Qi Wei left him. It was the first storage ring he had ever received, and its storage space was a full fifty cubic meters, which was incomparable to all the storage bags he had on him combined.

When Ji Daoyi found a piece of old red wood while organizing his storage ring, the dormant Green Wood Yang Fire within him suddenly burst forth with the urge to devour it, like seedlings that had been parched for a long time and then received sweet rain.

Ji Daoyi exclaimed in surprise, "What kind of wood is this that even the Heavenly Fire wants to devour it?"

He knew that the Green Wood Yang Fire had no intelligence; it was clearly instinctively believing that red wood was beneficial to it.

He suppressed the raging fire of the green wood and kept examining the red wood. In the end, he found that even with his strength, he could not leave a mark on the wood, let alone crush it.

He discovered that the red wood was only incredibly hard and had no other use. Perhaps it was because of his low cultivation level and limited experience that he didn't know if the red wood had any other function!

Ji Daoyi scanned the still-pulsating heavenly fire with his spiritual power once more. After some deliberation, he decided to give the piece of wood to the heavenly fire to devour.

After all, it would be beneficial for him if the Azure Wood Yang Fire could grow stronger in a short period of time! Compared to a piece of wood whose purpose was unknown, he would naturally choose to let the Heavenly Fire within his body grow stronger!

Whether it's alchemy or cultivating fire-related elemental techniques, he can achieve twice the result with half the effort!

He stored the red wood in his dantian, and the Green Wood Yang Fire Monkey eagerly attached itself to it!

The originally weak source of heavenly fire has visibly increased!

Ji Daoyi knew that the spring of Qingmu Yanghuo had arrived!
