I didn't expect that I was the heartthrob.

Gu Lan was familiar with the secret realm of Shahu.

While reading the book, I was stunned by the spiritual beasts in the secret realm.

Most spiritual beasts don't have much intelligence, but the spiritual beasts in the Shahu Secret Realm all have intelligence, and their intelligence is not low.

The male protagonist Long Aotian and the female protagonist Wanwanmei, both of whom are in the Jindan stage at this time, met in the secret realm of Shahu and fell in love at first sight. In order to obtain the black phoenix egg, the female protagonist cooperated with the male protagonist to use a group of casual cultivators as bait and stepped on the corpses of those casual cultivators to obtain the black phoenix egg.

Their behavior is extremely despicable and shameless.

However, although it is dangerous, there are ways to resolve it. The reason why Gu Lan agreed to let her master take her fellow disciples to the Shahu Secret Realm is mainly because she knows that in addition to the black phoenix eggs, there are also many spiritual herbs in the Shahu Secret Realm. If they can avoid the disputes, they can pick some spiritual herbs and maybe even pick up some animal bones or something.

If they are lucky and kill a few mid-level spirit beasts, they may be able to gain some experience for future sect competitions.

After that, quickly find a safe place to hide. As long as you stay away from the male and female protagonists, you will be able to escape safely.

The words are divided into two parts.

Lingyao of Tianyan Sect is not having a good time. Ever since she saw Gu Lan in the spiritual herb garden last time, she felt that something seemed different.

Let’s not talk about this for now. What happened is that I called her “senior sister” that day, and the inner sect disciples heard it, so gossip reached her ears.

Lingyao is a proud woman. Qianjimen is a past that she cannot bear to look back on, so naturally she does not want to be talked about behind her back.

This caused her spiritual heart to become unstable, and during this period of time, she was in the late foundation-building stage and had not been able to break through to the golden elixir stage.

She was about to reach the lower secret realm, and her master asked her to bring back the black phoenix egg, but with her current ability, it was impossible to do it. Seeing that the deadline was approaching, she had not made any progress, so she was even more anxious. She practiced on the trial platform every day, but the more she practiced, the worse it got.

"Junior sister."

Lin Qingyu, the second disciple of the Tianyan Sect's leader, entered the sect only a few days earlier than Lingyao. The two had similar progress, but the Tianyan Sect seemed to value Lingyao more, so some tasks and benefits were tilted towards Lingyao.

Lingyao was a little surprised to see her second senior brother on the trial stage at this time.

"Second senior brother?"

"Well, I see you've been under a lot of pressure lately, spending all day on the trial platform, but that's not good. The Sand Lake Secret Realm is just a small secret realm this time. The elder who did the deduction said there might be black phoenix eggs, but it's just a possibility. Master didn't say you have to bring them back, so just go and train without worrying about it."

Lin Qingyu developed a feeling of pity for Junior Sister Lingyao, who came in a few days later than himself. Seeing how hard she was training these days, he wanted to come over and comfort her.

After hearing what Second Senior Brother Lin Qingyu said, Lingyao was not grateful at all. Instead, she thought with some contempt: It is because of you that Master gave all the good things to Senior Brother. In Master's eyes, if you cannot prove the value of your existence, you are equivalent to trash.

She couldn't do this. She had finally arrived at the Tianyan Sect and became the sect master's personal disciple. She also had a top-grade water spiritual root. How could she remain unknown?

Lingyao suppressed the contempt in her heart and nodded. Not wanting to get entangled with him any more, she said perfunctorily: "Brother, you are right. I am just a little excited because I am going to the secret realm soon."

Lingyao was in no mood now. She looked down on her second brother who came in at about the same time as her. She had a strong admiration for the strong, and she didn't want to pay attention to anyone who was weaker than her.

So I just said it perfunctorily and didn't want to continue talking.

Lin Qingyu didn't care about her perfunctory attitude. Seeing Lingyao's pitiful eyes flushed with tiredness, he felt even more pity for her. He took out a bottle of pills and said, "This is a Qi-boosting pill. It is very helpful for realm breakthrough. I see that Junior Sister is working so hard, and she will break through in the next few days."

Lingyao accepted it without hesitation, "Thank you, Senior Brother."

She forced a bright smile, and after Lin Qingyu left happily, Lingyao's face turned cold and she felt even more upset.

They soon arrived at Shahu Lake. Several disciples of Qianji Sect found a cheap inn, washed off the dust, and followed a large group of monks to wait at the place where the secret realm was to open.

Before the secret realm began, the familiar casual cultivators automatically formed teams, and Gu Lan's team all wore Qianjimen's clothes.

Although Qianjimen has been the last in the list for thousands of years, it is still a sect after all and has some fame in the world of cultivation, but it receives little praise and much ridicule.

"Look at how shabby the Qianji Sect is. Can that be called sect uniform? It's so gray, the clothes have turned white from washing."

"Didn't their sect go to the last sect trial? Guess what happened? One of them was in the Qi Refining Stage. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, why hasn't a sect like this disbanded yet? How shameless!"

"I went to that game, too, and was eliminated right after the start. It was so embarrassing."

Everyone was talking at the same time, and although their voices were not loud, they were loud enough for Gu Lan and the others to hear.

This part of the content is only briefly described in the book. It was because of this trial that Lingyao made up her mind to leave.

Gu Lan felt a little uneasy when he saw his fellow apprentices’ faces blushing with shame. They were indeed inferior to others now, and it was normal for others to talk about it. However, Gu Lan’s mentality was still stable, while his fellow apprentices’ mentality would definitely be affected.

This will be very detrimental to their future cultivation.

Gu Lan gathered his fellow apprentices together, thinking about how to organize his words.

It is a fact that the sect is weak, but it cannot become a thorn in their heart. If their Taoism is damaged, it will be difficult to improve their cultivation in the future.

"It's not our fault that Qianjimen has become what it is now. You don't have to feel ashamed of it. That's the first point. Second, you have to understand that when you are still weak, anyone can step on you, but you can't just lie down when someone steps on you. Instead, you have to find the right path and move forward bravely. I believe that as long as the path is right, you don't have to worry about the distance.

"The future of Qianjimen depends on us. If we become discouraged because of other people's comments, we don't need to practice anymore in the future and we can disband."

After Gu Lan finished speaking, he looked at his three fellow apprentices and saw that they had raised their heads, which had been lowered.

Xu Fengxi was a smart man. He understood it after a little guidance, and his eyes were full of heroism.

Xue Hao was calm. Although he didn't show anything on his face, his eyes changed.

Meng Xin was a taciturn person. Although he didn't say anything, he held his chest high.

The changes in the expressions and mental temperaments of the three junior brothers made Gu Lan realize that her words had taken effect on them.

The world of cultivation is indeed simpler. Cultivators who are devoted to cultivation always tend to dwell on trivial matters and their thinking is not flexible and broad enough.

It seems that the spark of hope has struck.

As long as I can bring them hope, I can definitely change the status quo.

I don't want you to be as utterly destroyed as in the original novel. I want you to become stronger!

Gu Lan said silently in his heart.

"Do you have any confidence?"

"Yes!" The three junior brothers clenched their fists.

That’s right, let’s shout the slogan.

Their howling was so loud that it shook the earth and frightened the monks who had just laughed at them.

"are you crazy!"

"That's right." The monks looked at them with dissatisfaction, and then seeing how they didn't care in the face of everyone's contemptuous eyes, they were completely speechless.

There's no way to save these Qianjimen idiots!
