Chapter 400: He didn't even know how he died.

Ling Yi shook his head: "There is an array set up over there in Lei Ze. The spiritual energy is used by the array and no thunder spirit source has been born."

"I see..." Ye Qingshuang sighed, "It's a bit of a pity."

"It's alright," Ling Yi said. "We've already found three kinds this time, that's enough."

"That's true," Ye Qingshuang said with a smile, but then she realized something was wrong: "Three kinds? Aren't there only two?"

One is the water spirit root that Ling Yi obtained before she returned, and the other is the ice spirit root that they obtained this time. Where did the third one come from?

Seeing Ye Qingshuang's blank expression, Ling Yi said, "There is also the Earth Fire Spirit Source."

Earth Fire Spiritual Source?

Ye Qingshuang was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then clapped her hands and looked at Ling Yi with surprise: "You got it from him?"

Ling nodded: "Mm."

"Not bad, not bad." Ye Qingshuang was very satisfied with this.

After they finished talking, neither of them spoke again; one cultivated, and the other read.

...

The carriage left the snow-capped mountains and headed eastward towards the towering forest.

The Towering Forest is the largest forest in the Taiyuan Secret Realm. Because the spirits of its plants are gentle and unlike those in other places, many beasts live here.

The originally relatively mild area has become dangerous due to the large number of beasts living there. However, compared to the distinctive Fire Phoenix Valley and Snow Mountain, the Towering Forest is indeed more suitable for the growth of plants and trees, and therefore has many medicinal herbs.

More than half a year has passed since the opening of the Taiyuan Secret Realm. Many cultivators who entered the secret realm have come here, either to cultivate or to search for rare spiritual herbs.

With more people, the animals became more active, so when the carriage arrived at the Towering Forest, it felt a liveliness different from other places.

Ye Qingshuang lifted the curtain and looked outside. A fresh and gentle aura of wood spirit wafted towards her. Ye Qingshuang herself was a spirit and especially loved the gentle aura of wood spirit. She immediately took a deep breath, and after exhaling, she turned her head to look at Ling Yi, who had stopped cultivating: "Ling Yi, this place is nice. After finding the earth wood spirit source, shall we go to other places?"

If she wasn't going, she wanted to cultivate here for a while.

Ling Yi shook his head: "There are only three places. We don't need to leave immediately after finding the items."

"Okay." Ye Qingshuang responded and had the carriage stop near the forest.

After the carriage stopped, Ye Qingshuang looked at Bai Qingjue and said, "It's the same as before."

"Okay." Bai Qingjue responded, looking at the two of them, "You can go without worry."

"Okay." Ling Yi responded, then, remembering what Ye Qingshuang had just said, said, "We don't need to go anywhere else. We probably won't be back for a while after we get what we need. You can continue your cultivation as usual."

Bai Qingjue asked, "Are you looking for something inside?"

Ling nodded: "Since we're here, we can't leave empty-handed."

"Okay." Bai Qingjue nodded, indicating that she understood: "You can go without worry. I'll take care of things here."

"it is good."

After giving their instructions, Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang put on their masks and got off the carriage.

After getting off the carriage, the two headed into the forest, sensing the spiritual energy of the wood as they walked.

Upon entering the forest, some light can still be seen, but as you go deeper, the trees block out the sun, and sunlight can only filter through the gaps in the branches and leaves. Visibility in the forest becomes dim, and the temperature also decreases as you go deeper.

Not long after entering the forest, Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang encountered a group of people. However, the group looked extremely disheveled, with several of them bearing injuries, and the most seriously injured of them having lost both hands.

Seeing their dire situation, Ye Qingshuang couldn't help but glance at them a few more times. The group of people, noticing Ye Qingshuang staring in their direction, said unhappily, "What are you looking at?"

Ye Qingshuang merely glanced at him, without any other intention. Seeing that the other party was displeased, she withdrew her gaze and did not take it to heart.

Ye Qingshuang didn't mind, but the group didn't know when to stop. Seeing that Ye Qingshuang and Ling Yi were alone, the leader gave a wink to the people around him, who immediately ordered, "Stop them."

Upon hearing this, the uninjured people immediately stepped forward and surrounded Ling Yi and Ye Qingshuang.

Both Ye Qingshuang and Ling Yi were wearing masks, so the group of people couldn't see their faces, and naturally, they couldn't see Ye Qingshuang's mocking expression.

They've surrounded Ling Yi for no reason; he might not even know how he died.

Ye Qingshuang never showed pity for those who deliberately provoked trouble. She stepped back and stood behind Ling Yi, saying, "It's up to you now."

Ling Yi looked coldly at the group of people in front of him: "What do you want?"

Upon hearing Ling Yi's question, the leader of the group smiled and said, "It's been more than half a year since the secret realm opened. You two must have found quite a few good things in this secret realm, right?"

"It's fate that we've met. Why don't you two give us, the ones who are destined to meet, a little something?" the leader said. "It would also comfort us who haven't received anything."

After listening to what the leader said, Ye Qingshuang smiled sarcastically: "This is the first time I've seen someone act so shamelessly when robbing someone."

As soon as Ye Qingshuang finished speaking, the man standing next to the leader immediately spoke up: "How dare you speak to our boss like that?"

"Our boss is doing you a favor by asking for your things. Don't be stubborn and refuse to listen to reason!"

“That’s right.” The person in charge of the encirclement added, “If you don’t want to die, hand over the item, or don’t blame us for being impolite.”

"Idiot," Ye Qingshuang cursed, then said no more.

"Hey, why do you have such a foul mouth, girl?" the man next to the leader said unhappily. "Since you don't know what's good for you, then don't blame us."

"Arrest him!"

Upon hearing this, the people responsible for the encirclement were about to make their move, but just as they approached, Ling Yi said calmly, "Wait."

Upon hearing Ling Yi speak, the leader glanced at the others, and those who had been attacking immediately stopped. The leader looked at Ling Yi and asked, "Are you willing to hand over?"

"Of course I'm willing." Ling Yi looked at them, a half-smile on his face, and said, "But I've gotten quite a few good things since I came in. I don't know which kind you want, so how about I take them all out for you to see? After you look at them, whatever you like, I'll give it to you, how about that?"

The leader nodded in satisfaction upon hearing this: "You're quite sensible. Take them all out."

"Okay." Ling Yi responded, then opened his hand, and a pool of clear water appeared in his palm. The next moment, Ling Yi raised his hand and waved, and the clear water in his palm flew out, suddenly becoming stronger under everyone's gaze.

Before the other side could react, the clear water flew out and quickly wrapped around the man next to the leader, enveloping him within it.

"Old Li!"

"Brother Li!"

Seeing that Lao Li had been captured, the leader and the others were shocked. The leader was the fastest and immediately tried to save him, but his force landed on the water sphere and he was swallowed up by it.

The water sphere, having absorbed the leader's power, grew larger and rose, floating in mid-air.

"Ugh..." Old Li, who had been captured, struggled in the water balloon: "Help me..."
