Immortals of the Mortal World Gather at the Inn!

"Phantom Leaf Fruit".

Xiao Yu spoke first.

Relying on the records in the Sword Sect's library, Li Daoxuan said, "The main function of the Illusion Leaf Fruit is to poison. It will cause hallucinations and block the flow of spiritual energy in the body, making it the perfect choice for poisoning and sneak attacks."

Upon closer inspection, Li Daoxuan discovered that this Illusion Leaf Fruit was of a high level, capable of causing even low-level Tribulation Transcending cultivators to fall victim to it unintentionally.

Although he wanted it, he wouldn't go back on his word to Xiao Yu, so he said to Xiao Yu, "Go over there, I'm looking for the next one."

Xiao Yu didn't hesitate and immediately put the Illusion Leaf Fruit into his storage ring.

"East—two kilometers."

After Li Daoxuan finished speaking, he glanced at Xiao Yu and then flew directly eastward.

Xiao Yu watched as Li Daoxuan took off, and after hesitating for a moment, he still had no intention of flying.

He ran off in the direction Li Daoxuan had indicated.

"Wow, flying in the secret realm consumes so much spiritual energy."

Feeling his spiritual energy being consumed more and more rapidly, Li Daoxuan regretted flying.

But since we've already taken off, we have to grit our teeth and persevere for the sake of our pride.

"You little brat, you knew all along but didn't tell me."

Li Daoxuan looked down at Xiao Yu, who was running at the same speed, and said some harsh words, but he wasn't really angry.

On the contrary, I felt somewhat relieved; this kid had finally learned how to scam people.

Li Daoxuan was very fast, and he flew to his destination with only 10% of his spiritual energy.

Xiao Yu arrived a step after Li Daoxuan.

"Sect Master Li, the spiritual energy consumed in this secret realm is extremely difficult to recover, and takes a very long time."

Xiao Yu looked at Li Daoxuan and said calmly.

Li Daoxuan's face twitched beneath his mask, but he maintained his suave demeanor to the end, saying in a hoarse voice, "This is not a problem for me."

As he spoke, Li Daoxuan began to absorb the spiritual energy of the secret realm.

Instantly, spiritual energy from within a mile radius surged rapidly toward Li Daoxuan's body.

The ten percent of spiritual energy consumed during flight was immediately restored.

"Master Li is indeed incredibly capable; I am truly impressed!"

Even Xiao Yu, with his wooden face, was somewhat shocked and praised him.

Although Li Daoxuan was somewhat surprised that he could actually absorb spiritual energy normally, he still calmly said, "This sect master's true nature is not something you can understand."

Xiao Yu looked at the incredibly mysterious Li Daoxuan, his curiosity about the power he spoke of growing even stronger.

However, Xiao Yu did not ask the question rashly.

Li Daoxuan sighed at Xiao Yu's reaction and said, "Alright, this is where the treasure is located."

Li Daoxuan pointed to a bamboo grove in front of him.

"Millennial spirit bamboo is a good material for refining weapons."

Xiao Yu said,

Li Daoxuan nodded and said, "We'll each take half of this."

Xiao Yu nodded, offering no objections, since the man in black robes had brought him here.

Subsequently, Li Daoxuan and Xiao Yu cut down the entire thousand-year-old bamboo forest at an unimaginable speed.

There was only one spirit bamboo that hadn't been cut down.

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "Sect Leader Li, please take it. This ten-thousand-year-old spirit bamboo is nothing to my Sword Sect!"

Although the words were somewhat domineering, they were indeed the truth.

For the Sword Sect, the Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Bamboo is nothing; there's another whole patch of it inside the inner sect!

As the junior uncle of the Sword Sect, Li Daoxuan naturally knew this, nodded, and put it away.

The current Treasure Pavilion is indeed lacking in materials for crafting low- to mid-level magical artifacts.

The two then swept through several locations where treasures were found.

Li Daoxuan had a deeper understanding of how to use the Treasure Pavilion, and Xiao Yu had a general understanding of Li Daoxuan's background.

Both sides, each with their own thoughts, headed towards their next destination.

"roar--"

"hiss--"

On their journey to find the treasure, the two encountered a bear and a snake facing off.

"Holy Son, please stop and watch!"

Li Daoxuan looked at Xiao Yu beside him.

Xiao Yu nodded and said, "Alright, I can also recover the spiritual energy I've consumed."

After glancing at Xiao Yu, Li Daoxuan said, "Holy Son, you should be more vigilant."

After speaking, Li Daoxuan went to a high place where he could watch the battle between the two beasts.

Xiao Yu was somewhat puzzled as to why Li Daoxuan would say such things, but despite his doubts, he still wanted to watch the battle between the Tribulation Transcending stage demonic beasts in the distance.

The moment he made the discovery, Xiao Yu realized that both the bear and the snake were demonic beasts at the Tribulation Transcending stage.

He also knew about the Mountain and River Secret Realm, which could only be entered by cultivators at or below the Integration stage.

On the contrary, the monsters and other life forms in the secret realm are at least at the Integration stage.

It can be said that the Secret Realm of Mountains and Rivers offers opportunities to defy fate, but it also carries immense danger.

Thinking about it, Xiao Yu also sat down next to Li Daoxuan.

For some reason, after spending a long time with the man in black robes in front of me, I felt a familiar sense of warmth.

"Would you like to drink?"

Li Daoxuan took out a wine gourd from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Junior Uncle won't let me drink."

"Hahaha!"

Li Daoxuan laughed after hearing this.

He knew, of course, that Xiao Yu didn't drink, but he didn't expect the kid to say it so directly.

Li Daoxuan uncorked the wine gourd, and a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

"Your junior uncle is right, don't drink this stuff, it's addictive!"

As he spoke, Li Daoxuan took a sip.

"I didn't like drinking alcohol before, but I don't know when I developed the habit."

Li Daoxuan watched the two beasts clash and took another sip of wine.

Because Li Daoxuan was wearing the Asura Mask, which had a function that allowed him to eat and drink normally while wearing the mask.

Xiao Yu had originally wanted to see the true face of the man in black robes, but now he had no choice.

However, after hearing what Li Daoxuan said, Xiao Yu also fell into deep thought.

Seeing Xiao Yu's expression, Li Daoxuan asked with some curiosity, "Holy Son, do you also have something troubling you?"

Xiao Yu shook his head and said, "Sect Leader Li, you remind me of an old friend of mine."

Upon hearing Xiao Yu's words, Li Daoxuan was startled: "Really? You don't even know what I look like, how can you know I resemble him?"

Xiao Yu thought for a moment and said, "He also likes to drink. I remember one day I asked him why he liked to drink, and he said it was very cool."

Upon hearing this, Li Daoxuan immediately realized that Xiao Yu was referring to him.

However, he is now the Pavilion Master Li of Jubaoge Pavilion and a friend of Li Daoxuan, the Junior Uncle of the Sword Sect.

Li Daoxuan pretended not to know and guessed: "Li Daoxuan, your Sword Sect's junior uncle."

Xiao Yu nodded, trusting the man in black robes before him even more that he was Li Daoxuan's friend.

After all, if he didn't know his junior uncle well, how could he guess who it was from just a few words?

Just as Xiao Yu was about to continue speaking, the two beasts below had already decided the winner.

The bear demon wins, the snake demon dies.

After the snake demon died, the bear demon took the snake gall from the snake demon's body and walked to a large mountain.

The bear demon threw the snake gall towards the mountain.

Surprisingly, the snake gall did not hit the mountain, but instead created a cave.

After the bear demon quickly entered, the cave disappeared again, returning to its original state.
