Cold Clouds

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what was happening outside and still thought that no one cared about her, so she carried a basket and a hat, let Xuanming lie on her shoulder, and then walked into the secret realm of the competition.

Why do you need to bring a basket when you have a mustard bag? Because the second-hand goods sent by the auction house have been filled with the pills refined by Lin Xiaoxiao. Most alchemists may not have enough medicinal materials for alchemy, and their proficiency is not high, but Lin Xiaoxiao has no such worries at all. She is so arrogant with the plug-in.

Lin Xiaoxiao walked in the secret realm of the competition step by step, humming "Dang Ge Li Ge Lang" in her mouth. She thought no one would notice her, but in fact, people outside were watching her, and she was the only one who was completely unaware.

"Ahem," Qin Feng cleared his throat to draw the attention of the people watching the live broadcast back here, "The competition begins."

Song Hanyun dragged Lu Renjia and his second senior brother Qi Ren into the secret realm. Tang Lan followed closely behind, and the remaining five sects' disciples also entered one after another.

"The sect master has ordered that we must disgust the Lingxia Sect if we can," Ning Xing, the eldest disciple of Fengyu Tower, said to the remaining two people, "so we must protect Lin Xiaoxiao and drive the people of Lingxia Sect as far away as possible. Do you understand?"

"I understand." The brothers Li Jin and Li Yu responded.

"Okay, let's go!" Ning Xing flew up on his sword and headed in the opposite direction of Lin Xiaoxiao's destination.

......

"Shouldn't we go down and rescue them?" Lu Yiyi asked Tang Lan with some concern as he looked at the three people from Hongyan Pavilion who were trapped in the nest of a three-tailed giant scorpion in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul at the foot of the mountain.

Tang Lan smiled disdainfully: "What do you know? We have to make them owe us a favor. Now is not the time to go down. We have to go down when they are really in danger. They can still resist now, right?"

"Is that so..." Lu Yiyi did not refute, after all, he couldn't beat the other person.

The stone slab only plays the captain's perspective, which not only has images but can also transmit sound. So in order to avoid trouble, Tang Lan gave the captain's position to Shi Ping, who has the lowest cultivation level.

And now Shi Ping was crying and lost, dragging his 2.1-meter-tall, muscular body.

Shi Ping is only a twelve-year-old child!

Lin Xiaoxiao picked some red grass on the roadside and chewed it. From a distance, she saw two guys in bright purple clothes hiding on the hill.

Are you from Lingxia Sect? What kind of person would not notice you wearing such eye-catching sect uniforms? Most people in Lingxia Sect are not very smart.

It's better not to go over there now. After all, people from Lingxia Sect are there. God knows if they have anything that can help me. Lin Xiaoxiao looked over there and thought to herself, there are colorful spiritual fruits growing over there. I remember that it was the nest of three three-tailed giant scorpions.

Eh? Is there a small black dot crawling up the hill towards the two purple guys? Never mind, it's just someone from Lingxia Sect.

Then Tang Lan and Lu Yiyi were driven to the side of the three people from Hongyan Pavilion.

"Two!? Are you kidding me!" Tang Lan was shocked, and pulled Lu Yiyi away with the magic weapon, "Let's go, let's go!"

The audience outside the stone slab saw the two people from Lingxia Sect escape decisively through the perspective of Hongyan Pavilion, and then looked at Tang Zhen silently. Tang Zhen's mouth twitched, but he ignored them.

Tang Lan and Lu Miyi turned into a stream of light and disappeared, while a figure quickly came here. The Yunjian Sect was allied with the Hongyan Pavilion, so after receiving the request for help from the Hongyan Pavilion, they sent Song Hanyun, who seemed to not care about winning or losing the game at all, and who started looking for Lin Xiaoxiao and the people from the Lingxia Sect as soon as he entered the secret realm.

Then Song Hanyun found out as soon as he landed that something was wrong. Didn't the news say there was only one? Well... if there were two, maybe they could fight each other...

Where did the third one come from?! Song Hanyun raised his eyebrows as he looked at the third giant scorpion that appeared in front of him. He decided to break out and escape first. If that didn't work, he could only crush the jade token and teleport out.

"Ah, how did Song Hanyun get surrounded?" Lin Xiaoxiao chewed something that was probably Red Flame Grass, frowning slightly, "Well, after all, the Five-Colored Spiritual Fruit is over there, so we might as well save him."

This is double standards.

Lingxia Sect? Not familiar. Song Hanyun? Okay.

Lin Xiaoxiao yawned after she finished speaking, and Xuanming on her shoulder quickly crawled down. The three three-tailed giant scorpions that had just crawled over and grown larger collapsed to the ground trembling.

Lin Xiaoxiao herself might not be able to defeat it, but as for Xuanming... the number of people who can deal with it in this secret realm can probably be counted on one hand.

Xuan Ming flicked his tail, and the three three-tailed giant scorpions ran away as if they had been pardoned. Then Xuan Ming climbed to the five-colored spiritual fruit with a haughty look on his face, threw it out carefully, and returned to Lin Xiaoxiao's side. The five-colored spiritual fruit bears one fruit every hundred years, and a plant can bear up to five fruits, each corresponding to one of the five elements. Lin Xiaoxiao took the five-colored spiritual fruit, which only had three fruits: gold, wood, and water. The fourth one was still growing.

Lin Xiaoxiao was about to put it away when she looked up and saw Song Hanyun and others staring at her. She felt a little scared for no reason. After a moment of silence, she said, "Do you want it?"

"No, no need." Song Hanyun and the people from Hongyan Pavilion shook their heads.

"Then I'll be leaving." Lin Xiaoxiao turned around and was about to leave with some surprise, but Song Hanyun suddenly spoke.

"Wait," Song Hanyun saw Lin Xiaoxiao turn around and suddenly forgot what he was going to say. He was stunned for a moment before continuing, "Can I go with you?"

Lin Xiaoxiao frowned and was about to speak when Song Hanyun said hastily, "I know where there are rare medicinal herbs."

"Okay." Lin Xiaoxiao felt that she was pretty good at changing her face.

The petite short-haired girl in Hongyan Pavilion was about to say something when she was covered by the one who looked the most mature.

After Song Hanyun and Lin Xiaoxiao walked away, the short-haired woman became a little angry and said, "Yunluo, what are you doing? Do you still want to give me, your senior sister, face?"

"Senior sister," Yunluo said innocently, "I just think we should give them some private space... They must have something to talk about, it's not good for us to follow them..."

"Is that so?" The short-haired woman thought about it and felt that it sounded reasonable, so she took the two of them in another direction.

But in fact, Song Hanyun followed Lin Xiaoxiao for half an hour without saying a word. However, he did gain a lot of points. After all, the monsters in this secret realm are mostly in the Multi-Infant stage. Xuanming's entry is a dimensionality reduction attack. Song Hanyun, who followed Xuanming, only needed to pick up the leaks.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t know why Song Hanyun followed her, but there was no harm in it. He could also help her find medicinal herbs, which was a huge profit.

Seeing that her basket was almost full, Lin Xiaoxiao immediately decided to go back home. When Song Hanyun was about to take Lin Xiaoxiao to the next place, he saw Lin Xiaoxiao's basket was full.

"Or...I'll give you a mustard seed bag?" Song Hanyun said.

"No need. I'll go back directly." Lin Xiaoxiao shook her head. She did have a mustard bag, but the second-hand gift patch looked a bit cheap, so Lin Xiaoxiao hung it on her chest and stuffed it into her lapel.

"Wait a moment," Lin Xiaoxiao counted the things in the basket, and seemed to have thought of something. She reached into her clothes and took out a jade bottle. "Here, this is for you. This is my reward for you."

Song Hanyun's eyes widened, his face slightly reddened, and he stretched out his hand and took the jade bottle tremblingly, which was still a little hot...

The heat was actually because the level of the thunder-attributed elixir inside was a little higher than the level of the jade bottles that Lin Xiaoxiao bought wholesale, and the energy was leaking a little.

Lin Xiaoxiao just took it out of the mustard bag, but Song Hanyun and the people outside didn't know what was going on.

The audience outside suddenly became excited.

"I want it too... the original jade bottle of the beautiful girl..."

"Fellow Daoist, please calm down. Lin Xiaoxiao should be only fourteen years old now."

"I'm fourteen, I'll go first!"

"I'm thirteen! I'll go first!" Miss Ye Lan, who did not want to reveal her name, who had just squeezed into the crowd, slapped the disciple from Hongyan Pavilion away, "Sister Xiaoxiao!"

Ye Lan's shout also inspired some people, and for a while the audience seats were filled with shouts one after another.

Tang Zhen's expression had reached a new level of ugliness.

Lin Xiaoxiao didn't know what was happening outside. She returned to the secret realm and planted the medicinal herbs she had looted. Then she sat in a chair, basking in the sun and drinking tea.

On the other side, Song Hanyun's heart was beating faster as he held the jade bottle. This was the first time he had experienced this in sixteen years. It was a bit exciting... Song Hanyun swallowed his saliva and silently put away the jade bottle.

Keep this thing!
