I imitate others' cultivation, and I will never reason with you.

Chapter 221 The Scam of the Longevity Pill
But this step will by no means be in vain.

This is a scam that has spanned thousands of years.

If it was just to earn spirit stones, why would Xie Yao bear the pain of giving up so many vines?

She must have other purposes, but Ruan Xing doesn't know it for the time being.

However, Wanbao Tower was her main channel for selling longevity pills. How could she suspect that someone from the Hidden Sect was in Wanbao Tower?

Ruan Xing immediately asked this question.

Xie Yao sneered, "Hidden Sect, that sounds good."

"The dragon is hard to find. The Immortal Sect calls the Hidden Sect one of the three major sects, but does the Hidden Sect admit it? Do you think that under the Heavenly Dao, only immortal cultivators are allowed to exist? Then how can we, the demon cultivators, who have cultivated the great way, ascend to the spirit world!?"

Ruan Xing was startled. "You mean, the Hidden Sect is not completely on the side of the Immortal Cultivator?"

"The Hidden Sect doesn't stand on either side, they only listen to the way of heaven." Xie Yao said, "If they want to support the immortals, the Hidden Sect can have more and better ways. Why would they self-destruct in the battle between immortals and demons? Self-destruction doesn't distinguish between friend and foe. In addition to the Saint Demon Lord and a bunch of demons at that time, many immortals died. But I saw their true purpose. The Hidden Sect is not for the so-called fairness and justice of the way of heaven, but just to reshuffle the cards!"

Every time the Hidden Sect appears, both the immortal and demonic cultivators on the Xianyuan Continent will suffer serious trauma and losses, and will be sluggish for many years.

This is the true purpose of the Hidden Sect.

This is also one of the reasons why Xie Yao wanted to communicate and negotiate with Tiandao.

Xie Yao believed that the people from the Hidden Sect hid in the Wanbao Tower to help him sell the longevity pills. Their intention was to give the demon cultivators a chance to catch their breath. They would not let the demon cultivators be completely annihilated by the immortal cultivators.

Ups and downs, rise and fall, cause and effect, reincarnation, this is what Heaven wants to see.

Upon hearing this, Ruan Xing lowered his eyes and thought, although the Netherworld Ghost Record was passed on to Cui Yurong by the Xiantai Tree, the will of heaven might be at work in it.

In other words, the immortals have been revived for thousands of years, and the next step is for the demons to follow.

"So that's how it is. What you said makes sense if you think about it carefully." Ruan Xing murmured.

Xie Yao snorted, and the vines dispersed and reassembled, turning into a green soft couch again. She let go, letting the gauze flutter, and lay down again.

"Xizui is in charge of all matters concerning the small world. You can discuss this with him. I am tired and need to rest."

Ruan Xing had basically asked all the questions he wanted to ask, so he nodded and said yes, then left with Xie Feng.

When he got to the door, he said to Shui Linglong, "The Holy Demon Lord asked us to find the Sin-Washing Elder."

"Come with me." Shui Linglong said.

In a cave separated by a dozen winding passages.

Xie Huai was sitting at the table in a daze. The old man in gray walked in, looked at him and said, "Give me the Sui Lingzhu."

Xie Huai took out a round bead the size of an egg and asked, "Can I go with you?"

"What do you think?" Xizui asked back, "Don't disobey the Holy Demon Lord, and don't make things difficult for me."

"I'm already in the Nascent Soul stage, but I can't leave the underground palace? This is very different from what I imagined before I came here." Xie Huai said angrily.

He is like a porcelain doll held in the palm of one's hand.

If this was how he was going to be treated when he came to the North, why did he have to face so many setbacks and difficulties in the South Province?
Xixin could only convey Xie Yao's meaning, "You have suffered outside, and when you come back, you will cherish a peaceful life and will not think about suffering outside again."

Xie Yao's thoughts and requests to Xie Huai are very simple.

Since his mother was deceived because she had never seen the outside world's curiosity.

Then she would let Xie Huaixian experience the dangers of the outside world.

"Be obedient, kid. The Saint Demon Lord has been good enough to you. You should be content." Xizui patted his shoulder.

"My life has been planned by you step by step. You have never given me the power to choose. What's the point of living like this?" Xie Huai said with a wry smile.

Xizui was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "Saint Demon Lord has her own difficulties. You just need to believe that there will never be another person in this world who will care about you unconditionally, protect you, and keep your safety in mind."

"No, the Holy Demon Lord has conditions." Xie Huai said.

"...You should wait for a while. Maybe in a few years, when Saint Demon Lord and I are both dead, you will be free. Now, you should practice hard and strive to have enough strength to protect yourself before that day comes."

Xie Huai asked anxiously, "What about you? Is everything you did for me also conditional?"

Xizui looked at the familiar features on his face, lowered his head, did not answer, and turned away.

He is a sinner who has survived until now just to atone for his sins.

Before that incident happened, Xie Yao was not so cruel. There were many demon kings, big and small, in the northern border. No matter whether they were Nascent Soul or God Transformation, they could all carve out an area for themselves and become the king of their own mountain. They ruled over many small demon cultivators and mortals, and they only needed to pay tribute to the Saint Demon King and obey his orders on a regular basis.

At that time, it was not called "washing away sins". He had just become a god, but he was still unwilling to leave the underground palace and was only willing to do what the Saint Demon Lord told him to do.

The task given to him by the Holy Demon Lord was simple: to protect His Highness and make Him happy.

But he didn't even complete such a simple task. Not only did he fail to protect Her Highness, allowing her to be deceived and taken to Nanzhou, even when he finally found out her location, he rushed there in a hurry but still failed to rescue her in time.

She could only watch him weeping and losing his soul in her arms. She grabbed his collar and begged him, "Find my child."

He still hasn't done this well.

Several years had passed when he found the little prince born to His Highness. The little prince was dirty and was driven away and despised by a group of mortal children. His pair of similar black pupils were full of strangeness and vigilance.

After he passed the good news to Xie Yao, he received a one-sentence reply.

"Xie Huai." The gray-clothed old man looked at the thin boy in front of him, "This will be your name from now on."

After Xizui returned with Sui Lingzhu, he met Shui Linglong.

Ruan Xing looked at the spiritual weapon in his hand curiously and asked, "What is this?"

"Sui Lingzhu." Xizui said calmly, "The bright pearl was covered in dust. It was previously used as a magic weapon. It has only come into our hands in recent years and is now able to play its original role."

The spiritual weapon Sui Lingzhu of the Qintai family in Xizhou...

I didn't expect to see you so soon.

A flash of surprise flashed across Ruan Xing's eyes.

"So what does it do?"

Xizui introduced: "This item can be combined with any item in the secret realm to open the door to the secret realm anywhere, without any conditions, and can be used to escape from the secret realm at any time. Even if you encounter irresistible danger, I can use Suilingzhu to bring everyone out together. Is the envoy relieved by such a precious and safe treasure?"

"If there is such a miracle, then of course we are not worried. Let's set off now and go to the secret realm." Ruan Xing exclaimed and said with a smile. Xi Zui was surprised and said, "The envoy didn't make any preparations?"

Ruan Xing waved his hands, "There's nothing to prepare. Since we know nothing about the situation inside, what targeted preparations can we make? Let's just go. The sooner we set out, the sooner we can get the Hongmeng Purple Qi. Time waits for no one!"

Since Ruan Xing asked, Xizui no longer refused. He stretched out his hand, raised the Sui Lingzhu, and used his spiritual power to slowly activate it. Streams of mist quickly flew out of the Sui Lingzhu. Xizui clasped his hands together, and the mist condensed into a halo more than one person tall in front of the people.

Xizuin was the first to walk into the aperture.

Ruan Xing pulled Xie Feng in, but before entering, to be on the safe side, she grabbed a handful of air and put the sword hidden beside her into the storage bag.

So that he wouldn't be able to pass through the aperture.

Although the facts proved that Ruan Xing was overthinking.

After experiencing that familiar feeling of spatial squeezing, when Ruan Xing opened his eyes again, he found himself in an unfamiliar space.

With the precautions given by Xie Yao in advance, Ruan Xing was already prepared mentally. This place should be quite dangerous, so after entering, he immediately took the Sumeru Mirror in his hand and put on an extra layer of protective shield maintained by spiritual power.

However, everything she saw was somewhat beyond her expectations.

In the quaint town, monks and mortals come and go living in harmony, waiters holding signs in front of shops are trying hard to attract customers, street vendors are shouting loudly with smiles on their faces, some children are lively playing and fighting in the crowd, and the sounds of prosperity and noise reach the ears.

A monk squeezed through the three people and said, "Make way, make way, excuse me, please let me pass."

He had a smile on his face, radiating joy, and left in a hurry very politely.

However, Ruan Xing smelled a bloodthirsty scent from him.

There was a hideous scar on his face.

That person should be a demon cultivator who practices the way of killing.

"What's going on?" Ruan Xing was confused. Even in the outside world, she had never seen such a harmonious scene between mortals and monks.

"I don't understand." Xie Feng curled his lips.

Xizui glanced at the two of them and said, "It doesn't look like an illusion. They can see us and communicate with us. They should be living people. Since they are living people, why not ask them?"

Ruan Xing's spiritual consciousness spread out, extending to a distance of several hundred miles.

The scope of this secret realm is quite large. According to a rough estimate, there are about five to six thousand monks and mortals together. I don’t know where the secret realm got so many living people. Could they have entered by mistake?
In addition to the small town in the middle, there are mountains, rivers, towering mountains and steep cliffs outside the town, and there are many monsters.

There are all kinds of people in the town, and it seems that everyone of them fits in perfectly, with their own missions and duties.

"Do you remember what the person sent in before looked like?" Ruan Xing asked.

"Remember, I sent those people out personally." Xizui said, stretching out his hand to open a screen in front of her, on which were several slightly blurry faces.

Ruan Xing used his spiritual sense to search for these people.

They soon found one of the female cultivators. Coincidentally, the demon cultivator they had just borrowed was at her location, not far from them.

The image quickly disappeared, and Xizui frowned in surprise.

Ruan Xing withdrew his consciousness and said to Xizui, "We found one. Let's go ask her first. She has been here longer than us. Maybe she has some clues."

Several people rushed in the direction found by Ruan Xing.

The people they met on the road didn't find them strange at all.

Some people even greeted them warmly.

Out of caution, no one responded.

When they arrived at the alley, Scar Demon Cultivator was surprised to see them and asked, "Hey, why are you here?"

Ruan Xing slowly typed a question mark.

?

She turned around and whispered to Xizui, "Did I forget what happened just now? Why does he seem to know us?"

Xizui said seriously: "It never happened, I don't know."

Scar Demon Cultivator had already enthusiastically pulled them into the house. "Thank you so much for what happened just now. My wife suddenly wanted to eat peach preserves and apricot cake, so I hurried to buy it for her, fearing that if I came back too late she would not want to eat it. I didn't expect it to be such a coincidence. Are you here to visit my wife as well?"

"Also?" Ruan Xing grasped the word sharply, "Has anyone come to visit her before?"

"Yes, it seemed that they were relatives from her hometown. They knew she was about to give birth, so they came to see her. However, they were in a hurry to leave, so they left after just one day." Scar Demon Cultivator laughed.

Ruan Xing turned to look at Xizui, who nodded slightly and said, "This female cultivator was one of the first to come in, sixteen days ago."

Those who came to see her might be the second batch of demon cultivators who came in and found her to ask about the situation.

"She's about to give birth, yet you still send her in?" Ruan Xing condemned, "You demon cultivators are truly inhumane."

Xizui said speechlessly: "She is not married, has no male lover, and is not pregnant. I can't send a subordinate with limited mobility to complete such a difficult task."

"...Oh, right." Ruan Xing suddenly realized and felt horrified again, "She got pregnant after coming here? She's going to give birth in sixteen days. The speed of time in the secret realm is different from that in the outside world!?"

What she was most worried about was not that the battle between immortals and demons would be over after she got out.

It’s points!!
When the simulator calculates the time of a day, does it follow the outside world or the secret realm?
If the speed of time really was different, and sixteen days outside was equivalent to more than a year inside the secret realm, then her remaining three million points would only be enough for a few days...

Ruan Xing felt like the sky was falling.

His face turned embarrassed.

Xie Feng stepped forward and asked, "How long have those people been gone? What a pity, we missed them. We were planning to get together!"

His face was full of regret.

Scar Demon Xiu laughed and said, "It hasn't been long, maybe four or five days. If you run faster, we can still catch up."

Xie Feng turned around and asked Xizui, "How many days have the second group of people come in?"

"Seven days." Xizui replied.

Xie Feng immediately rolled his eyes at Ruan Xing, "The flow rate is the same, the time is right. I feel like you've been affected by something in the secret realm. You've only been here for half a day, and you've become a lot dumber."

"You are the one who has been influenced!" Ruan Xing retorted angrily, "Before you came in, you were like a gourd that sticks to its mouth. How come you have become so talkative after coming in for such a long time?"
