Chapter 33

Chapter 33

The forest was unusually lush, with even the grass reaching up to their knees in height.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

When Li Ming and Chen Qingke arrived at the edge of the spiritual land, they fell like two streams of light. Their high-speed movement directly drew two deep trails in the grass.

Although was unable to ride a flying sword in this area, as a cultivator, his speed on the ground was not slow.

The two of them, one in front and one behind, moved equally as fast.

Of course, Li Ming was currently not using the Wind Lightning Steps.

Even then, Chen Qingke thought to herself that her senior brother was quite fast for his level.

The two of them rushed straight into the spiritual land. As soon as they entered the spiritual land, they found two groups of disciples confronting each other.

The two groups of disciples were teams that had numerous members, and they had the advantage in numbers.

The two sides released their auras, and both of them had great power.

After that… Li Ming and Chen Qingke arrived!

The sudden arrival of uninvited guests stunned the disciples that had already been there.

It seemed that they still had to snatch the resources.

Li Ming pondered whether he should take action directly or save his strength first.

After all, he had to deal with so many people at once. It would probably take some effort.

After Li Ming and Chen Qingke’s arrival, the aura of the two groups of disciples suddenly changed.

From confronting one another to a united front against the newcomers, they were now facing the two of them.

After all, an external threat possessed far greater danger than an internal threat.

“It’s Chen Qingke!”

The group of disciples’ expressions changed slightly when they saw Chen Qingke.

All of them revealed fearful expressions on their faces.

One group of people looked at Chen Qingke, waiting for their senior brother to make a decision on what they should do. The leading disciple looked at Chen Qingke and then at the spiritual land. Then, he gritted his teeth and said, “Let’s go!”

The senior brother’s mind was clear as he led the group to retreat slowly.

He was also at the ninth level of the qi refinement stage, but he knew the huge gap between him and those at the perfected level of the qi refinement stage. At this moment, preserving their strength was more important than anything else.

The secret realm was so huge and it did not lack resources, so why would they risk so much here when the benefits to gain did not match the risks?

Not long after, this group of disciples directly took the initiative to retreat and quickly disappeared from this place.

It was better to seize every second to collect resources than to go head-to-head with such a tough opponent. That was the wisest choice.

When the other group of disciples saw this, they immediately understood and without saying a word, they also ran away.

The two groups of people actually retreated without even trying to put up a fight?

Li Ming was shocked to see this.

Before those people left, they looked at Li Ming with envy.

It was as if they were saying, “You really have some bullsh*t luck.”

This left Li Ming with a rather strange expression on his face.

He did not expect that his junior sister’s reputation was so illustrious that she could make the sect’s disciples retreat without a fight. He began to wonder what brilliant achievements she had in the sect.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Chen Qingke was an inner disciple who had reached the perfected level of the qi reifnement stage very quickly.

Additionally, it was even declared by the elders that it was only a matter of time before she reached the foundation establishment stage, so it was clear for all to see just how excellent her talent was.

This time, she had scared off two groups of disciples with just her presence, and he had gotten himself a chance to hug someone’s thigh.

This made Li Ming feel a little strange. After all, he could have shown his strength, but he did not have the chance.

Li Ming naturally would not deliberately put on airs for some unnecessary things.

However, it had been a long time since he last fought against fellow disciples. He would occasionally want to test his combat strength and see how far it had gone and how it fared against his fellow disciples.

Seeing so many people scared away by her, Chen Qingke remained expressionless. She rolled up her sleeves and began plundering the spiritual land like crazy.

It was as if the spiritual plants in this spiritual land were more precious than anything else.

“Whoosh…”

Chen Qingke moved quickly. She used a small sword the size of a palm in her hand and was unparalleled in collecting the herbs.

Pieces of spiritual herbs fell down and were quickly kept into her storage bag.

Li Ming also started to move.

With the two of them working together.

Very quickly, this spiritual land was completely ransacked.

However, Li Ming was just half a step slower, and his gains were only about 70-80% of hers.

The efficiency that his junior sister displayed in collecting resources made Li Ming feel a little ashamed.

After harvesting the resources of this spiritual land, the two of them stood at the side, feeling very happy.

“Senior brother, here you go.”

Chen Qingke walked to Li Ming’s side and casually shared half of the spiritual herbs she had collected with him.

Li Ming blinked and Chen Qingke filled his storage bag with a lot of spiritual herbs.

Chen Qingke looked around. She had already finished harvesting the spiritual land here.

She pointed in the direction that led further to the center.

“Senior brother, let’s head in that direction.”

As if noticing Li Ming’s silence, she added, “I’m here to protect you. You don’t need to be afraid.”

Li Ming thought to himself, am I afraid?

He knew that his junior sister was not looking down on him when she gave him the spiritual herbs.

It was simply that, after forming a team, she did not see any distinction between him and herself, and they would go through thick and thin together.

This was actually a form of trust, so he accepted it without any embarrassment.

If he had extra resources, he would give them to her because they were teammates.

After clearing the place, Li Ming did not object to his junior sister’s decision to go wherever she wanted to go.

Anyway, he would just follow.

Harvesting spiritual herbs was a rather pleasant experience in this secret realm.

Very quickly, the two of them rushed to the second spiritual land in the forest.

From a distance, it was a verdant land with three to four-meter-tall sprouts with spirit fruits.

The spirit fruits were all yellow-like gemstones, glowing with light and color. One look and one could tell they were delicious.

“Senior brother, there’s no one here.”

Chen Qingke was very happy and was about to go forward to harvest the spiritual fruits.

This secret realm had not been open for long, and most of the disciples were racing against time.

This was because they did not know when their elite senior brother would remind them that the secret realm would soon close. As such, the best strategy was to simply obtain as many resources as quickly as possible.

At this time, Li Ming gently pulled Chen Qingke’s arm, indicating for her not to act rashly.

Chen Qingke looked at him in confusion.

Li Ming pressed his palms together, indicating that there was an ambush lying in hiding.

Just now, when they were rushing to this spiritual land, Li Ming had spread out his divine sense and covered the land inch by inch.

With his powerful divine sense, he discovered that there were people hiding in the grass near the spiritual land.

They had also made it seem as if no one had discovered this patch of spiritual land yet.

This kind of behavior could only be said to be sinister, but it was not against the rules.

However, under Li Ming’s powerful divine sense, their plan was completely exposed.

And because his divine soul was as strong as those of foundation establishment cultivators, Li Ming’s divine sense swept over and found them first.

Not only could he discover the other party, but the other party would not even sense it.

They were still patiently lying in ambush, not knowing that their position had been exposed to Li Ming.

This was the terrifying part of having a powerful divine sense. It was basically a dimension-reduction attack.

Chen Qingke was startled when Li Ming stopped her.

She had always been smart, even though she did not detect the Ambusher.

However, after thinking about it carefully, she realized that it was impossible for no one to have discovered such a large patch of spiritual land.

However, what she was really surprised about was how Senior Brother Li had noticed this so quickly.

Under Li Ming’s guidance, she and Li Ming retreated to the grass outside the spiritual land and also went into hiding.

“Senior brother, how did you know?” Chen Qingke asked curiously.

Li Ming just pointed at a few places near the spiritual land.

“There, there, and there. That’s where the ambushers are hiding.”

“Perhaps they have set up some kind of formation and are just waiting for someone to fall into it.”
