Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

In fact, Ju Yunxiu strongly opposed repeated participation. The reason was not about the length of the tao conference that she said. The chess fanatic could even play a chess game with someone for sixty years. Why would they care about time?

It was not to maintain the rules either. The real reason was that she didn't want Zheng Yunyi to participate in this fighting competition.

Zheng Yunyi was at the peak of the Piano Heart Stage, and he had many methods, which was considered 'unfathomable' for Qin Yi. Last time, Qin Yi used the unexpected chip to spy on Zheng Yunyi's items and the Yin Yang Puzzle to win the match. Although Qin Yi showed some quick wits, he must admit that luck was involved.

If there was a rematch, the outcome would be uncertain, not to mention the fact that the other party was determined to trick Qin Yi. God knows how many tricks they had prepared.

Of course, switching Zheng Yunyi to anyone else would be better.

Before going out this morning, Qin Yi and Ju Yunxiu had discussed a lot. By the way, Ju Yunxiu also appraised the see-through chip. It was not very practical. It could only work when the opponent was caught off guard. Once the opponent was prepared or the opponent reached the Cloud Riding Stage, this chip would be discovered when he used it. He would only be asking for trouble.

After all, it was just a low-level dungeon item, so he couldn't place too high hopes on it. For example, in this competition, most of the opponents were already prepared for this aspect, so he could no longer peek at the others.

Qin Yi still remembered the looks of Ju Yunxiu and Qing Cha when he took out the chip in the morning. It was like looking at a pervert.

Ju Yunxiu's first words while holding the chip were. "Junior Qin, you are living in this sect with this thing, Who do you want to spy on?"

"No, no, Senior Ju has great cultivation. If I spied on you, you would have known about it immediately, right?"

"Who knows, maybe you've spied on Qing Cha."

Qing Cha hid behind Ju Yunxiu.

Qin Yi said angrily, "Who will watch a little girl like you who has no pubic hair?"

Qing Cha poked her head out from behind Ju Yunxiu, "Have you seen it? Otherwise, how else would you know that I don't have pubic hair... "

Qin Yi was dumbstruck.

Ju Yunxiu tossed the chip back and forth and said indifferently, "I thought Elder Wu didn't find this thing because you secretly destroyed it. It turned out to be hidden in your palm... Why did you still want to bring it back?"

The evidence was clear. He was a pervert.

Qin Yi swore that he would destroy these things immediately in the future. It was so shameful... He had not even made the oath in his heart for half a second, then he thought this was a good thing. Otherwise, he would have been tricked.

So the thing itself was not evil. It just depended on how one used it.

So the chip was still put into Qin Yi's ring under Qing Cha's watchful eyes.

"Hi, Junior Qin. I'm Zhou Yuncheng."

Qin Yi turned his head with a smile, "Oh hi, Senior Zhou, I'm Qin Yi."

Zhou Yuncheng smiled heartily, "Who in the Immortal Palace doesn't know Junior Qin now!"

Qin Yi bowed humbly and looked around. A sleepy young drunkard, a dull craftsman, Zhou Yuncheng, and himself; the four of them were at the entrance of a valley. There was an array that blocked the entrance.

The four of them were in the final round. The drunkard and the craftsman both looked a little wary and didn't talk to him. Such people had no ill intentions while this one who chatted with him had unpredictable intentions.

People of the medicine, divination, scheming, and planning sect always give a friendly impression, but in reality they are all old foxes.

Having said that, Ju Yunxiu, Zheng Yunyi, and Zhou Yuncheng all have the word 'yun' in their names. Is it a coincidence or does it mean that apart from the tao name, they belong to the generation of 'yun'?

Logically speaking, I’m of the same generation, so should I change my name in the sect. Maybe not. I might as well make up a tao name called Stick Wielder.

Seeing that the four contestants had nothing to say, Elder Wu spoke, "The four sect masters must have given everyone the map."

All four nodded.

"Strictly speaking, this valley is the original ecology of our mountain range. It is a blessed land that existed before Palace Master came to build the sect. The natural treasures grow naturally inside, and there are also many native beastkin species. They either occupy an area or protect the exotic fruits." Elder Wu said, "Palace Master believed that this was the most natural resource and should not be destroyed, so he sealed it."

Qin Yi said, "Every once in a while, when something is ripe, he will go in and harvest it?"

"It's almost the same concept." Elder Wu said, "Under normal circumstances, the elites of the Immortal Palace will work together, but it is still a little early to harvest the ripe products. Only the celestial fruits ripe every sixty years, which is now. Besides, your current cultivation level can handle the harvest. Remembe, go for the celestial fruit only. Don’t set foot in the danger area.”n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Qin Yi asked, "What if the beastkin wanders into the safe area?"

Elder Wu stepped forward and distributed four pieces of jade, "If you encounter an unexpected danger, just crush the jade and someone will naturally rescue you instantly. But as I say, luck is also a part of strength. If you encounter such an unexpected danger and fail, you will be considered losing.”

Qin Yi took the jade stone and sighed, "If we can do this earlier, the tao conference before would have been worthless."

Elder Wu shook his head, "Nephew Disciple Qin, you are wrong. Since this place is sealed, others cannot see the situation inside. Probably only Palace Master can. This means that no one knows what methods you use. Strictly speaking, it is contrary to the objective of the tao conference. Palace Master chose this method because he thought it was necessary to train the disciples.”

"I see." Qin Yi put away the jade and said with a smile, "I'm ready now. Elder Wu, please open the array."

The other three people also said, "We are ready too."

In fact, these three people, who had lived in the Immortal Palace for a long time, had already entered this place. At most, they only entered a certain area and did not know the whole area. The only real newcomer was Qin Yi.

Elder Wu stepped forward and opened the array. A visible sky curtain slowly dispersed, and the air in the valley hit his nostrils.

Qin Yi's heart moved, and he narrowed his eyes.

He thought the mountain he stayed in was already filled with pristine air. But when he felt the air of the valley, he discovered that there was another kind of primal ecology, called the breath of beasts.

It was the breath that their immortal mountains lacked.

But Qin Yi was very familiar with this kind of breath. He had stayed in a similar place for a long time.

Because in this specific place with a strong aura, the so-called primal beast was actually beastkin.

This is a sealed secret realm with natural treasures that are guarded by various beastkin beasts. The natural treasures will be harvested every once in a while... If the entire Rift Valley is regarded as 'sealed land', then isn't the 'danger zone' around Beastkin City entrenched with vicious primal beastkins?

According to Han Men, Cheng Cheng entered Kunpeng Purple Mansion to practice. If she can break through, she will first destroy the Kingdoms of Guo and Xiao. After that, she will open up these areas...

Surprisingly, I'm doing similar things right now.

Could those places be a 'secret realm' of a certain powerhouse...

As he thought so, the other three people disappeared in different directions.

Everyone had a map given by their sect. The locations of celestial fruits and the safe paths were clearly marked. They were racing against time to pick the fruits.

Qin Yi smiled and walked slowly toward the east valley.

The others only got the topographic maps, but what he had the mini version of the real map drawn by Ju Yunxiu herself. Every path, plant, and nest was clearly shown.

He was confident with the real navigation tool, so he didn't need to race against the time.
