The sky within the Secret Realm appeared particularly clear, with even the clouds being unusually sparse.

A vast expanse of green pine forest spread across the plain.

At this moment, a tall and slender figure dressed in a black Spirit-Blocking Robe, holding a Six-Color Bee, raced past.

However, halfway through, the figure descended toward the pine forest.

In front of him, a Treasure-Seeking Rat suddenly appeared.

The Treasure-Seeking Rat squeaked continuously.

It seemed extremely excited.

The figure immediately followed the direction of the Treasure-Seeking Rat's gaze and peered into the jungle.

"Jade Vermilion Fruit Vine?" The figure was Ye Xingliu, who had changed his form after taking the Bone Transformation Pill.

He murmured in surprise, and then released the Jade-eyed Golden-eyed Tiger, which flew toward the Jade Vermilion Fruit Vine.

However, halfway through the pine forest, countless vines sprang up, wrapping around the Jade-eyed Golden-eyed Tiger.

All these vines were jade-colored.

The Jade Vermilion Fruit Vine was also known as the Bloodthirsty Vine.

Under its beautiful appearance was a natural jungle predator. Any creature ensnared by it would be poisoned to death by the jade poison juice it exuded.

It would then root into that creature, drawing its blood, and produce the crimson Vermilion Fruit.

Thus, this Jade Vermilion Fruit was also called the Blood Fruit.

Nonetheless, even so, many cultivators were drawn to it.

Although this spirit fruit was only a Tier Two Middle spirit fruit, a single one could match ten years of arduous cultivation for a body cultivator of the same tier.

Such a spirit fruit had already vanished in the outside world. The Cultivation Realm's spirit medicines were divided into two kinds: seedless and seeded.

The Jade Vermilion Fruit belonged to the former.

Hence, cultivators wanting to cultivate it found it impossible.

"Roar!" Faced with the extensive jade vines, the Jade-eyed Golden-eyed Tiger leaped high up, evading the entanglement.

Moreover, with a few swings of its claws, it severed many surrounding pines at the roots.

This Jade Vermilion Fruit Vine was extremely formidable in the forest, and Ye Xingliu's first task was to destroy the wooded area.

Otherwise, he and the injured Golden-eyed Tiger might not be able to slay the Jade Vermilion Fruit Vine.

However, the vines and pine trees were simply too numerous, and the jade vines were everywhere, so he released the injured Lizard Lord once again.

In addition, two Tier Two Middle Flying Swords were sent out together.

In an instant, jade juice splattered all around, corroding many of the pines through and through, enough to showcase the toxicity of the jade vines.

As the pine trees were cleared and turned into an open space, a massive vine entangled with the largest pine tree was revealed.

The color of the vine matched the pine, making it indistinguishable in size and shape; without clearing the forest, it was truly hard to spot.

Ye Xingliu's eyes flashed with spiritual aura, and a Spirit Talisman appeared in his hand, which he cast at the root of the jade vine.

With the Cold Crystal Talisman falling, a patch instantly froze, the terrifying frost significantly slowing down the Jade Vermilion Fruit Vine, producing a crisp cracking sound.

At that precise moment, a Flying Sword flew over, severing the jade vine at the root.

Even though the stem was severed, those jade vines still surged in the air, their strong life force allowing them a final flair of energy.

Only ten breaths later, they all gradually went limp.

"It's a pity this fruit hasn't fully matured!" Ye Xingliu stored away the Vermilion Fruit, secretly lamenting.

The Vermilion Fruit could still be cultivated with Spirit Beast Flesh, but currently, Ye Xingliu had no spare time.

After collecting the Vermilion Fruit, he gathered all the jade vines; their juice was a good choice for refining some poison powder to be placed on Silver Needles.

After tidying up, Ye Xingliu took out the Six-Color Bee again, letting it lead the way.

This insect had a Soul Contract with Ye Jingcheng and could generally sense Ye Jingcheng's location.

This was something they had decided upon early on.

They might not accompany the fake Ye Jingyu, but teaming up with Ye Jingcheng was a premeditated choice.

After all, Ye Jingcheng could also heal the wounds of two spirit beasts.

At the same time, only with both working together could they unleash the power of the Talisman Treasure.

...

In a mountain valley within the Secret Realm, the Fire Attribute Spiritual Energy was abundant, with countless Three-Color Flowers growing.

In front of the Three-Color Flowers, countless thumb-sized Three-Colored Spirit-Devouring Peaks formed a cloud of insects.

However, the insect cloud faced a blue Sword Embryo.

As the Sword Embryo slashed through, the insect cloud was instantly cut down by the surging Sword Qi.

The rest were quickly slashed down by the Sword Embryo.

The cultivator collected all the spirit insect corpses and then gathered the Three-Color Flowers.

Afterward, he took out a Spirit Diagram, though its indication wasn't toward the central Spirit Medicine Garden but to a side hall.

This was an assignment given to him by an uncle-master.

It was said to be another garden within the Secret Realm, with spirit medicine for Gold Condensing Pills.

...

On the grassland, several cultivators dressed in Kong Family attire appeared.

Before them lay over a dozen fallen Gale Wolves.

The lead cultivator was indeed Kong Guangyun.

"This Unity Jade is truly useful!"

"It gives us the advantage!" Kong Guangyun held a piece of Spirit Jade, glanced at the other family members, his eyes full of pride.

"Brother Yun, Ye Xingliu of the Ye Family used Sword Qi, about eight hundred miles to the north," said a thin cultivator with delight while holding a compass in his hand.

On this compass, two sword qi were shown.

One was red-blue, the other red.

"Should we wait for a few more, or pursue them?"

"Follow them directly. They are only three, and they will definitely head for treasures right away. If discovered, we can kill them first. They must have a Spirit Diagram."

...

Amidst a barren desert, a woman with an icy cold demeanor and dressed in a Spirit-Blocking Robe swiftly skimmed across.

In front of her, a Tier Two Late Celestial Patterned Red Lion turned into an ice sculpture, then fell heavily, shattering into pieces of ice.

The woman picked up a Tier Two Celestial Spirit Treasure Crystal from the swamp, casually tossing it into her Storage Bag.

She then looked up at the sky and strode toward the mountains.

...

In an endless bamboo forest, a figure appeared within.

If Ye Jingcheng were here, he would recognize this figure as Ye Jingyu.

His body flexed again, transforming into the appearance of a Taiyi Sect cultivator. He pressed against his thumb and then broke it as if snapping a stick.

Blood instantly flowed, but behind the blood slowly appeared a Bone Ring with a single eye.

Once the Bone Ring was removed, it ignited with an eerie green flame.

This green flame immediately flew up and landed between his brows, forming a single-eyed black Demon Pattern.

And the Bone Ring was worn on the remaining finger.

In that instant, his gaze began to grow unfocused, as if black demonic pupils overlapped, making his entire face become sinisterly cold, unusually eerie.

He continued to pull down the Spirit-Blocking Robe, murmuring in a voice barely audible.

"Such a poor wretch."

"However, with so much blood food, it should be enough for a hearty feast!"
