Chapter 115 The Genius of the Immortal Cultivation World 22

Rong Xiuzhu was searching for everyone. When he reached a forest, he saw a figure gracefully leaping down from a tree. He looked closely and saw it was his master.

Rong Xiuzhu walked forward quickly and asked doubtfully, "Master, why are you here?"

Lingjiu said solemnly, "An extremely powerful demonic beast has appeared in the secret realm. Not only me, but the leaders of other sects have also entered the secret realm. To ensure the smooth progress of this competition, we will be on guard from now on."

Rong Xiuzhu nodded slowly and replied, "So that's how it is."

Then, the two of them walked towards the depths of the forest together.

Lingjiu turned to look at the silent Rong Xiuzhu and asked, "Are you nervous?"

Rong Xiuzhu immediately retorted: "No."

Lingjiu smiled slightly and said, "I heard your heartbeat, it's very fast."

Rong Xiuzhu stopped, his expression somewhat unnatural. His voice was low, and he tried his best to suppress his emotions, and he only called out, "Master."

Lingjiu raised his eyebrows slightly: "Why? Do you have something to say?"

"By the way, have you thought about the gift you mentioned before?"

Rong Xiuzhu closed his eyes, his brow furrowed, his mind in turmoil. He knew full well that the man before him wasn't his true master, but only in this secret realm could he reveal his secrets. He told himself this was the only time.

After a moment, he opened his eyes, stared at the person in front of him, and slowly said, "Master, I am attracted to you."

Lingjiu's smile reached his eyes, but he said, "We are a master-disciple relationship. What you are doing is against human ethics."

Rong Xiuzhu said anxiously: "I don't care about those worldly opinions, I only know that my heart beats for you."

Lingjiu was silent for a moment and said, "You know, this road is not easy to walk on."

Rong Xiuzhu answered firmly: "I'm not afraid, as long as you are by my side."

Even though he knew this wasn't what Lingjiu had actually said, Rong Xiuzhu still felt a pang of pain in his heart. He suppressed the bitterness in his heart and said with a smile, "If I wanted to go against human ethics, would you be willing to accompany me?"

Lingjiu stepped forward and leaned close to him, saying softly, "I do."

That's enough. Rong Xiuzhu took a step back and drew his sword: "Thank you, you can leave now."

Lingjiu's smile deepened as he asked, "You want to kill me? Am I not the one you love? You actually want to kill me."

Rong Xiuzhu slowly put down the sword in his hand: Master, I have disappointed you again. I can't break the illusion.

He took out the pill from his ring and swallowed it. The person in front of him gradually disappeared. He looked up and took a deep breath: "I won't attack you, ever."

Outside the projection, everyone saw him standing there for a long time, motionless, like a statue. Until someone said, "I think he must have fallen into an illusion."

"This is not good. The illusion shows the deepest desires in people's hearts, which are rarely overcome by ordinary people." Another person said worriedly.

"This situation is indeed a major test of his willpower. I hope he can get through this smoothly." Someone sighed.

A quarter of an hour passed slowly, and everyone saw him set off again. Everyone couldn't help but exclaim in amazement at his determination. He was able to break the illusion in such a short time.

They turned around and looked at Ling Jiu, who was still closing his eyes in the distance, and sighed, "Sect Master Ling really has confidence in his disciples!"

而零玖呢，则是全程静静地观赏着他如何对着那假人深情告白。那画面，让零玖的心中涌起复杂的情绪。难道对着她本人告白她还会揍他不成？

Rong Xiuzhu continued to look for everyone. Not long after walking, he noticed the sound of fighting coming from the front. He quietly concealed his presence and jumped onto the treetop to observe the situation below.

Beneath the tree, several groups of men were engaged in a fierce battle. One of them instantly caught his eye: it was Wang Qun, the duplicitous senior brother. Rong Xiuzhu made no rash moves, but quietly observed the battle below.

Only after Wang Qun had taken all their crystal balls did Rong Xiuzhu finally leap down from the tree. Wang Qun was startled at first, a moment of panic showing before him, but he quickly recovered and walked over to greet him, "Junior Brother Xiuzhu, it's been a while!"

Rong Xiuzhu looked calm as he stared at him and said, "I thought that Senior Brother was a forgetful person and had long forgotten the existence of Junior Brother."

Wang Qun's expression turned slightly grim: "How could this be? After all, you and I are from the same school, so there must be some friendship between us."

Rong Xiuzhu snorted coldly, "Friendship? Senior Brother, do you still remember the oath you and I made when we first joined? We should help each other and make progress together. But what about you? You're doing this for your own selfish reasons, using any means necessary."

"Oh, oath? In this world where the strong prey on the weak, what's the use of oaths? Only strength is king." Wang Qun retorted.

"Strength is not gained through conspiracy and intrigue. Senior brother, you will suffer the consequences of your actions sooner or later." Rong Xiuzhu said in a deep voice.

"So what? I am obviously the eldest senior brother, why do they favor you? What a young genius, but I kicked him out of the sect anyway." Wang Qun looked resentful.

Seeing Wang Qun's admission, Rong Xiuzhu stopped talking. He stepped forward and forcefully fed Wang Qun a pill. Wang Qun desperately scratched his throat, trying to spit the pill out, but found his spiritual power gradually dissipating. With a distorted expression, he shouted, "What did you give me to eat?"

Rong Xiuzhu straightened his clothes and said, "I'm just giving him a taste of his own medicine. Brother, I want you to have a taste of what it's like to be a useless person."

Wang Qun's eyes widened in anger: "Rong Xiuzhu, how dare you treat me like this? I won't let you go."

"Senior brother, those who do evil will eventually destroy themselves." After Rong Xiuzhu said this, he put all the crystal balls on Wang Qun into his ring and turned to leave.

In an inadvertent moment, Bai Yun was surprised to find Ye Shu's figure. The two were reunited and their joy was beyond words. After a short reunion, Bai Yun and Ye Shu decided without hesitation to continue their journey to find other people.

During their search, fate seemed to be on their side. Bai Yun and Ye Shu unexpectedly ran into Rong Xiuzhu and Lin Jue. Seeing familiar faces again brought a warm feeling to everyone's hearts. The only other person missing was Dongfang Yi.

Time was running out, with only half an hour remaining. Every second seemed precious. Knowing they couldn't waste any more time, they decisively quickened their pace and expanded their search area. They traversed the secret realm, searching for every crystal ball, finding and beating people along the way.

Finally, they spotted a familiar figure on a meadow. Dongfang Yi lay quietly asleep, as if nothing around him had anything to do with him. Crystals scattered around him, gleaming in the sunlight, and Xiaobai stood guard beside him. Seeing this, Baiyun finally felt relieved.

They walked over quickly and gently woke Dongfang Yi. Dongfang Yi opened his sleepy eyes and smiled the moment he saw his companions: "Why are you here so late?" He stood up and looked around and exclaimed: "Why are there so many crystal balls!"

Bai Yun raised her hand lightly, slapped Dongfang Yi on the head, and said angrily: "Xiaobai is more capable than you." Then, she seemed to have suddenly discovered something strange, and quickly squatted down and examined it carefully.

"Oh! This is actually Tianxiu Grass!" Bai Yun exclaimed in surprise, with excitement flashing in her eyes.

"With so many Heavenly Repair Grasses, we're definitely going to win this time." She carefully plucked a single one, stood up, and displayed it to everyone. The Heavenly Repair Grass glowed with a unique light under the sunlight.

Several people gathered around after hearing the noise. After getting a clear look at the Heavenly Repairing Grass, they immediately began to gather it. Before long, all the Heavenly Repairing Grass in this patch had been picked and stored in their storage rings.

Dongfang Yi crossed his arms, raised his chin high, and said proudly: "You still say I'm not as good as Xiaobai? This is all thanks to me choosing such a good place."

Bai Yun was in a good mood and praised with a smile: "Yes, yes, you are the best!"

Seeing that the time was almost up, several people stopped rushing on their journey and sat down to tell each other about their experiences along the way. When it was Rong Xiuzhu's turn, he just said that he had encountered nothing.

The sect leaders and elders outside the country felt very distressed when they saw that several people had picked all the Tianxiu grass.

One of them sighed, "It's rare to find herbs on this day, but he actually found such a large area. His luck is incredible!"

Another person sighed and said, "In this competition, the Tianjing Sect stole the show."

"The first place this time should have gone to the Tianjing Sect without any suspense."

The third elder of Poyun Sect stared at Dongfang Yi closely and sighed in his heart: He is worthy of being the person I have chosen.
