Liang Yi, who stepped out of that mysterious space together with Zhou Zuixi and Grandpa Ju, looked down and saw a halo of light. He quickly put it into his backpack with a flick of his hand.
This item, apart from recording coordinates, also served as an identity authentication badge. Without it, he might not even be allowed to enter when the time came.
"Now that's taken care of. I wonder how the junior sister is doing," Liang Yi thought, gazing in the direction of the herb shop from his memory. Ordinary players weren't allowed in there; it was only open to players with a status of Inner Sect Disciple or higher within a Super Force.
But the quality of the Elixirs sold inside was excellent, their effects at least ten to twenty percent better than those obtained through other channels. Buying in bulk made for an amazing deal.
Moreover, the Elixir and Spiritual Medicine varieties inside were incredibly comprehensive, even the Golden Level Immortal Pills were pinned at the top of the store display. Although the players couldn't afford them, that didn't stop them from feasting their eyes.
Take the "Peace Eternal Secret Spirit Pill" for example, a Second Grade Golden Level pill, its effect was to forcefully lock one's health for thirty seconds! During this period, no matter what damage was taken, it would not cause any health loss.
If used in a player PVP duel, it would be equivalent to thirty seconds of invincibility.
However, the potency of this Elixir also had its limits. A Cultivator from the Ninth Realm could forcibly break through the sliver of the Power of Laws contained within the Elixir.
"Let's go, to the East Gate," Zhou Zuixi pointed towards the east and said to Liang Yi.
Previously, in that mysterious space, Little Bamboo House had actually invited Liang Yi to visit their enigmatic sect, which surprised Zhou Zuixi somewhat.
To his knowledge, aside from certain individuals in Little Bamboo House, it was rare to invite disciples from other sects to visit. In fact, even people from Little Bamboo House seldom returned to their sect; they primarily recruited disciples from various places.
"Meow... I actually forgot to ask the old man if there were any bamboo shoots of the Eight Desolate Spirit Realm Bamboo," Grandpa Ju belatedly realized his primary objective had been forgotten, which frustrated him.
However, the thought of visiting Little Bamboo House later on rekindled his interest.
"Forget it, I'll have to go to his headquarters anyway, the origin must have some, meow!"
But when Liang Yi and his party arrived at the East Gate to meet up with Su Youyi and the others, Liang Yi suddenly froze.
Was it his illusion? Why did a very familiar little fox appear here?
"Brother!" The moment Yue Bai saw Liang Yi, she had already pounced on him, her light body hanging on Liang Yi.
Idly pinching Yue Bai's ears, Liang Yi nodded his head in satisfaction, the feel was unmistakably the same!
"How does it feel like you've grown a lot?" Liang Yi looked down at the little fox hanging on him and curiously asked.
When he and Grandpa Ju left Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, the little fox seemed to be only eight or nine years old, about the same as Liu Rouxin looked then, but now upon reunion, she appeared to be thirteen or fourteen.
"Girls can't stay little kids forever!" Yue Bai pouted and acted coquettishly, a touch of dissatisfaction in her eyes, upon hearing Liang Yi's remark.
"That's also true."
Liang Yi nodded, the growth rate of the Demon Clan was far quicker than the Human Race, especially for a demon recently awakening their bloodline, whose growth speed was astonishing.
"You're already in the Sixth Realm, not bad, not bad!" Liang Yi felt the fluctuations of Spiritual Power within the little fox and could not help but be surprised, pinching Yue Bai's ears with a gratified tone.
"You've endured quite a bit of hardship, haven't you?"
"It wasn't that bad. Master has always taken good care of me, working hard to unearth the potential of my bloodline. During the initial activation of my bloodline, my realm's advancement was naturally boosted, as if aided by the heavens. Plus, every day Master had various precious treasures from heaven and earth sent over. After extensive cultivation, my progress was able to be this rapid."
Yue Bai shook his head, just as he had understated his own sweat and hardship in front of Sister Youyi, skimming over it lightly.
Liang Yi watched Yue Bai's indifferent expression and gently ruffled Yue Bai's small head. Liang Yi was well aware for whom Yue Bai was striving and persisting so determinedly in his practice.
But Liang Yi was never one just to express gratitude with words, saying too much would also be a kind of harm to Yue Bai.
The little fox was showing off his cultivation achievements to him, aiming to be able to help him. The more he could help, the more content and happy the little fox would actually feel.
Even though Liang Yi would still not let the little fox do anything dangerous, instead he would be even more conscientious in protecting her, there were indeed some things that he could now confidently leave to the little fox.
"By the way, how come you are here?" He had been thinking of dealing with the matters here and then taking Mr. Ju back to the Ten Thousand Miles Mountain, but before he could do so, Yue Bai had already found his way here first.
"Master said that there might be a secret realm related to Qingqiu here, so I came over to have a look. I didn't expect to run into Sister Youyi's barrier, and it happens to be the same secret realm you guys were heading to." Yue Bai briefly explained the situation, which made Liang Yi click his tongue in wonder.
"Alright, alright, we can talk about anything else later. Get off your brother first, careful not to tire him out." Su Youyi, who seemed to have been standing next to Liang Yi at some point, although her words were directed at Yue Bai, her eyes held a reproachful yet deeply meaningful gaze fixed on Liang Yi.
Really, senior brother, Yue Bai has grown so much and you still don't pay attention. And, she could get jealous, you know?
"Ha ha..." Liang Yi gave a dry laugh. Not to mention holding Yue Bai for a little while, even holding him for ten days and a half-month would go unnoticed with his current level of cultivation. But sensing his junior sister's gaze, Liang Yi quickly picked up a somewhat reluctant Yue Bai off himself and placed him beside his junior sister.
"Am I that heavy?" The little fox looked down at her slender jade legs and her arms white as frosty snow, muttering softly to herself.
"Hmph." Su Youyi softly snorted, with the jealousy in her eyes instantly turning into a smile.
However, she didn't pay attention to her senior brother's embarrassed smile, but instead took Yue Bai's hand and turned to walk back.
"Tsk tsk, young lad, your thoughts are a bit dangerous, meow." Mr. Ju had been propping up his fat and round face with one claw, while tapping Liang Yi's shoulder with the other in a meaningful gesture.
"What's dangerous about me?" Liang Yi was baffled by Mr. Ju's words, feeling rather bewildered.
Mr. Ju didn't respond, just serenely closed his eyes, too lazy to pay attention to the youngster.
Liang Yi, none the wiser, scratched his head and could only follow his junior sister's lead and walk over.
"According to information from Little Bamboo House, currently, there should only be the Devouring Spirit Sect occupying the secret realm. Oh, and add Yu Wei..." Liang Yi shared the information he and Zhou Zuixi had obtained from Little Bamboo House with everyone briefly.
"I remember that cloak; it is indeed an item of the Devouring Spirit Sect. It seems beyond doubt that the White Tiger Envoy is leading the team." Zhou Yuqing confirmed with a nod.
"No time to lose, let's set out now. After ascertaining the situation in the secret realm, we'll take the Devouring Spirit Sect by surprise." Liang Yi's gaze hardened.
Little Bamboo House had already shared the map of the secret realm's periphery with him, much more detailed than what players had explored in his previous life. He wasn't very concerned about the Blood Demon in the secret realm; normally, that creature, which looked like a Slime, was too lazy to even move.
But since the only entrance to the secret realm where the Blood Demon sleeps, it's unclear whether the Devouring Spirit Sect has forced their way through or used some other means to enter, or if they are still stuck at the gateway.
