Su Bai perked her ears and listened carefully.
"Have you investigated any information about this Secret Realm?"
Regarding this Secret Realm, Su Bai certainly wouldn't go explore it.
But this Secret Realm was not far from her doorstep.
It would definitely bring some tremors to Xingluo Market.
So Su Bai wanted to inquire clearly.
To prepare for what was to come.
When Gao Fei spoke of that Secret Realm, his eyes lit up.
"That Secret Realm is surrounded by second-tier Yao Beasts. We couldn't get in, only look from afar."
"But it seems to be an Immortal Island. Unfortunately, there are Yao Beasts blocking the sea, and Restrictions covering the island, full of mist making it hard to see clearly."
"When the sea breeze blows, the mist outside the Immortal Island is shallower, and occasionally a few trees can be seen. Judging by their thickness, they are as thick as ten people embracing, at least three thousand years old."
"This is just the periphery! Who knows what other Opportunities are waiting on that Immortal Island."
"Moreover, the Immortal Island's Restrictions are damaged, and the Formation's spiritual power protecting the island is rapidly leaking."
"As long as we can find the damaged spot, we can get there first!"
The more Gao Fei spoke, the brighter his eyes became.
He seemed to have already seen countless Opportunities flying towards him.
Seeing this, Su Bai secretly shook her head.
This guy was so insatiable.
His teammates were injured last time he was with him, and it was the same this time.
Regardless of whether it was Gao Fei's good sense of precaution or some other reason.
He couldn't turn danger into safety every time.
If you walk by the river often, how can your shoes not get wet?
"Senior, what do you think? Would you like to explore the Secret Realm with me?"
"After it's done, we can split it two-eight, I'll take two, and Senior will take eight!"
Gao Fei looked at Su Bai.
He couldn't sense Su Bai's Cultivation, which meant she was higher than him!
Exploring a Secret Realm with a Cultivator whose Cultivation is higher than one's own provides a certain guarantee of survival.
That Secret Realm looked like it hadn't appeared for a long time.
If they could get the first claim...
"..."
"Going rashly would be a bit dangerous. It would be best to first look for clues about that Secret Realm, and then go. That's the best strategy."
"Senior, the matter of the Secret Realm can't be hidden for long. Delay will lead to changes!"
Gao Fei was worried that others would get there first.
Su Bai just shook her head at this.
She didn't agree.
"This..."
Su Bai's direct refusal made Gao Fei a bit upset.
As a Loose Cultivator, facing such a rare Opportunity, he naturally had to seize it firmly.
Seeing Gao Fei's expression, Su Bai spoke to comfort him:
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone about this. If you want to explore the Secret Realm, you'd best gather your fellow Daoists as soon as possible and then go."
"According to what you said, you discovered that Secret Realm by chance, so naturally, others will also discover it."
After Su Bai finished talking with Gao Fei, she turned and left.
She still wouldn't participate in this Secret Realm matter.
But she needed to inquire about the Secret Realm.
First, she went to find Xu Changge.
Now Xu Changge was already the Deacon of Green Bamboo Sword Sect in Xingluo Market.
She had the authority to consult the ancient texts of Green Bamboo Sword Sect.
Su Bai wanted to entrust Xu Changge with investigating this matter.
At this time, Xu Changge was no longer in Xingluo Mountain.
But on Green Bamboo Sword Sect Peak.
As a Deacon, Xu Changge also had her own Immortal Cave, so Su Bai only needed to inform a Disciple of Green Bamboo Sword Sect when entering the mountain.
When Su Bai found Xu Changge, she was in seclusion Cultivating.
After learning of this, she initially thought not to disturb her.
Just as Su Bai was about to leave.
Xu Changge's voice transmission came through.
"Is younger sister in such a hurry to leave?"
After hearing the voice.
Su Bai's turning steps paused.
She stopped in place, waiting for Xu Changge.
It didn't take long.
"Younger sister, come in."
Only then did Su Bai walk into the Immortal Cave.
She saw Xu Changge, dressed in white, sitting cross-legged on a Warm Jade bed.
Her expression was serene, and the spiritual power on her body was slowly retracting.
Clearly, she had just been operating her Cultivation Technique.
"I thought you were in seclusion, so I didn't want to disturb you."
"Hehe, older sister isn't in deathly seclusion. I can naturally hear the movements outside the door. Speaking of which, Xiaobai, what brings you to older sister?"
"It seems a Secret Realm is about to appear recently."
"..."
Su Bai told Xu Changge about the Secret Realm she heard about.
And stated her intention to ask her for help with the investigation.
Xu Changge lowered her head in thought.
"A Secret Realm, huh..."
This Southwest Sea had never heard of any organizations here before.
Whether Family or Sect.
"I know, I'll investigate."
Seeing Xu Changge agree, Su Bai nodded.
"In that case, I shall return."
Su Bai came here for only this one matter; she was ready to leave after speaking.
However, Xu Changge rose at this moment and came directly before Su Bai.
Judging by her movement technique, her Cultivation had improved significantly.
Currently, Xu Changge's Cultivation, her spiritual liquid, should have accumulated around three hundred and forty drops.
She was close to the limit for ordinary Cultivators.
If one didn't Cultivate any auxiliary Cultivation Techniques that increased spiritual power, three hundred and forty drops of spiritual liquid were enough to attempt Core Formation.
At this time, Xu Changge had already become an Outer Gate Deacon of the Sect.
Performing Sect missions.
Accumulating merits to exchange for Core Formation treasures within the Sect.
Besides this, she also mobilized her Family's power to search for treasures that could aid in Core Formation.
As soon as she found the treasure, Xu Changge would undergo Core Formation.
At this moment, Xu Changge stopped Su Bai.
She wanted to invite her to go see the Secret Realm together.
"Xiaobai, I will investigate the matter of that Secret Realm. Afterward, older sister wants to invite you to seek Opportunity together. I wonder if you can accompany me?"
Facing the temptation of potential Core Formation.
Xu Changge would definitely try it.
Of course, she understood Su Bai's temperament.
Indeed, Su Bai shook her head.
"Inside a Secret Realm, there are mostly mechanisms, Yao Beasts, and one must also guard against fellow Daoists around. Even if one obtains a treasure, what are the chances of successfully getting it back alive? It's better to wait in the Market. Perhaps in a few years, it can be seen at an auction."
Su Bai's answer also held some truth.
Xu Changge shook her head helplessly.
"Alright, older sister will first look for news about that Secret Realm. You can wait here first, to save older sister from having to go to the Market to find you later."
Xu Changge failed to invite Su Bai to go to the Secret Realm together.
She took a direct step back.
Inviting Su Bai to stay in her Immortal Cave for a short period.
While she went to find information about that Secret Realm.
Although Su Bai wouldn't go to the Secret Realm.
Su Bai still accepted Xu Changge's invitation to stay for a few days.
"Alright, that can save some trouble. Then you go and come back quickly."
Su Bai nodded and casually found a chair to sit down.
Xu Changge covered her mouth with her long sleeve, letting out giggling laughter.
"If younger sister is idle, you can go to older sister's Warm Jade bed to Cultivate. That is a hundred-year Warm Jade. It can reduce a Cultivator's cluttered thoughts and accelerate the flow of spiritual power. It's a good treasure."
"Okay, I'll try it."
Su Bai was naturally willing to try taking advantage of such a good thing.
So, at Xu Changge's suggestion.
She took off her cloth shoes, revealing her white silk socks.
And sat cross-legged on the hundred-year Warm Jade.
Seeing Su Bai begin to Cultivate, Xu Changge's lips curved, and she waved her sleeve.
Heading towards the Green Bamboo Sword Sect's scripture pavilion.
