Meanwhile, Li Zhirui, who had been yearning for Da Qing, had already followed the crowd and left the Secret Realm. As for the green turtle, it naturally entered the Spirit Plant Jade Token. He would release her after reaching a safe place. During his time in the Secret Realm, Da Qing never left the Spirit Pond and spent all day being intimate with the green turtle. Thus, their relationship rapidly progressed, and when the time came, everything that should happen happened naturally. For this reason, Da Qing racked his brains and specifically named the green turtle Mu Ling'er, which sounded much nicer than his own name. Worried about being exposed, Da Qing carefully chose a time when people were many and it was easy to slip away unnoticed to leave the Secret Realm. The moment he stepped out of the Secret Realm, a refreshing fragrance of medicine wafted into his nose, which made him instantly addicted. By the time he returned to his senses, he was surprised to find that his Spiritual Soul had strengthened a bit! "What grade of Spiritual Medicine could this be, that merely a whiff of its scent could enhance one's Spiritual Soul?" Although Da Qing was envious, he had no thoughts of snatching it. This was his nature. Moreover, he was alone and no match for others. Besides, he didn't even know who had the Spiritual Medicine, so how could he possibly rob it? What Da Qing didn't know was that the cultivators and the Devil Race had been fighting over this strand of Spiritual Medicine to the point of near insanity. The Devil Race, knowing the cultivators were pursuing a precious treasure, would not stand idly by. A portion of the Devil Beasts, tasked with a hidden mission, began searching for the cultivators upon entering the Secret Realm and stealthily followed them while hiding their presence. They were quite lucky, as they followed a cultivator to a secluded location and saw the soon-to-bloom Six Yang Flower. Then both sides began to gather reinforcements. A large number of cultivators and Devil Beasts converged on the spot, initiating a brutal and bloody conflict. In the end, the cultivators, with their superior skills and several fourth-order Talismans, successfully seized the Six Yang Flower. Unfortunately, the Six Yang Flower they captured was not whole! Given the situation at that time, it was simply not possible for the cultivators to dig it out carefully. Therefore, once gaining an advantage, a cultivator abruptly pulled out the Spiritual Medicine, resulting in the loss of some of the Six Yang Flower's roots and bulbs. These parts, naturally, fell into the hands of the Devil Race. When Da Qing left the Secret Realm, the Devil Beasts he encountered were precisely the team that had snatched a part of the Six Yang Flower. They immediately reported to several fourth-order Great Devils. "Six Yang Flower?!" "The Six Yang Flower that can induce Soul Sunification!" The appearance of the Six Yang Flower instantly changed the expressions of the Great Devils. If the Profound Ice Sect were to produce a Nascent Soul Cultivator because of this, then they, as Devil Beasts, knew all too well what fate awaited them. Fortunately for them, the cultivators had not obtained the complete Six Yang Flower. With its defects, it shouldn't be easy to make a breakthrough. "Damn it, those Secret Realm Devil Beasts hid such vital information!" roared a Great Devil in anger. Actually, this was not hard to understand. After all, with a Spiritual Object so precious, no one would likely share that information with others; they would want to keep it for themselves. As for the third-order Devil Beast that knew about the Six Yang Flower, it had long since died within the Secret Realm. With such an important event occurring, how could the fourth-order Great Devils stay put? They immediately set off towards the Great Snow Mountain to report this crucial message to their king. With the fourth-order Great Devil gone, the Devil Beasts quickly dispersed, providing Da Qing with the opportunity to escape. Without alarming a single Devil Beast, Da Qing successfully broke free from the pack. Just as he was preparing to soar into the sky and hasten back to Wanxian Island, a noise suddenly erupted from behind him. He turned his head and saw a very beautiful second-order flying creature trailing him in flight. "This is a White Feather Swan, isn't it?" A third-order aquatic Devil Beast, thought to possess a trace of the Honghu Bloodline. "Since you're following me, that's a kind of fate. Come back with me to Wanxian Island." Before he had finished speaking, Da Qing made his move to capture it, sealed its Mana, and then knocked it out, before placing it inside the Spirit Plant Jade Token. After warning Mu Ling'er not to eat the White Feather Swan, Da Qing began his journey toward Wanxian Island. He did not choose to fly over land as it was too easy to be detected; instead, Da Qing first detoured to the east, entered the Boundless Sea, and then dived directly into the water. Once he was far enough away, he released Mu Ling'er, and the two swam back to Wanxian Island together. In the coastal waters, the strength of the Water Devils was not very strong, so with Da Qing's third-order power, there were no difficulties encountered on the way, and they returned to Wanxian Island very smoothly. Throughout the journey, Mu Ling'er was full of curiosity about the sea, approaching some peculiar things she saw, which caused the two to spend a bit more time on the road. As the only third-order Spirit Beast of the Li family, Da Qing had a Jade Token just like the members of the Li family, and most people recognized him. Da Qing took Mu Ling'er towards Li Zhirui's cave dwelling. When they arrived at the entrance, he suddenly felt a sense of trepidation, as if reluctant to move forward. Creak— Li Zhirui, who had been cultivating, noticed that the entrance to his cave dwelling had been opened, and couldn't help frowning. However, he quickly realized what was happening, stopped his cultivation, and rushed out. "You're finally back!" Seeing that Da Qing was unharmed, Li Zhirui breathed a sigh of relief, but still asked with concern, "You're not hurt, are you?" He knew Da Qing had entered a Secret Realm, but he wasn't concerned about his gains; instead, he was worried about whether he had been injured. "I'm fine," Da Qing replied, quickly releasing Mu Ling'er and the Spirit Bird, saying, "Jiu, Mu Ling'er is my companion, and this silly bird is something I encountered on the way back, and I just grabbed it." Hearing this, Li Zhirui forgot about his emotions for the moment and seriously sized up Mu Ling'er. He quickly realized her identity and said in surprise, "A fourth-grade Qinggui? Not bad, lad, you've got a good eye!" Not only had he returned unharmed from his trip, but he had also brought back a companion. Although she was only at the second order now, with enough Spirit Pills, she would soon be able to reach Core Formation and take on human form. As for the White Feather Swan, it might have been significant to Li Zhirui at another time, but now he merely glanced at it before looking away again. "By the way, Jiu, take a look at this. All of these were found where Mu Ling'er grew up," said Da Qing, passing the Spirit Plant Jade Token to him. "Enlightenment Green Lotus of the fourth grade, Profound Ice Spirit Water of the fourth order..." Upon seeing these two precious Spiritual Objects, Li Zhirui couldn't help but feel that there was indeed a huge difference between people! When he had gone out for his own training, he never had as much luck as Da Qing, who not only found a partner but also obtained such precious treasures. "You can transplant the Green Lotus into your cave dwelling, and the Profound Ice Spirit Water can be kept aside," Li Zhirui suggested, with envy.
