Chapter 124: The Master of the Secret Realm
Next, Song Jiulai’s performance was as the Tai Xuan Sect expected.
And it directly made everyone outside the Water Mirror, including Yin Yunze, greatly surprised.
According to Yi Tianhe’s account, Song Jiulai had consumed nearly ten Pills at least.
But after she started fighting Yin Yunze, things became strange.
Yin Yunze’s own Strength was not necessarily greater than Song Jiulai’s; he was purely suppressing her with Magic Treasures.
Song Jiulai’s Palm Thunder was even more powerful, and she didn’t fear wasting it, continuously unleashing it.
As long as Yin Yunze paused, Song Jiulai could seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Since the Magic Treasure couldn’t instantly kill Song Jiulai, Yin Yunze himself couldn’t sustain it.
As Song Jiulai, enduring his attacks, pressed closer and closer to him, Yin Yunze, clearly feeling exhausted, could only take Pills.
But he didn’t have many Pills left, and he still needed to save some for **snatching things** tomorrow!
Meanwhile, Song Jiulai had already unhesitatingly taken Pills twice.
She even took Qi Replenishing Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills together, showing no fear of waste, lest her condition falter even slightly.
Yin Yunze, who initially had the Advantage, was ultimately forced back to his original position by Song Jiulai.
When Song Jiulai began taking Pills for the third time, Yin Yunze was dumbfounded: “Didn’t you say she had almost used up all her Pills when fighting you?”
“She almost did!”
Yi Tianhe was about to scream: “Everyone has a limit on the Pills they can bring. A Tier 4 Pill can only be brought in a total of ten, and she’s already exceeded that. How is this possible?!”
They truly felt their eyeballs were about to drop out.
Those outside the Water Mirror were also counting the Pills, “Impossible, she’s already taken thirteen Tier 4 Pills. Doesn’t True Man Liu Yao’s Secret Realm have restrictions? How did this person bring them in?”
“That’s right, I counted clearly. Qi Replenishing Pills and Blood Replenishing Pills, she’s taken thirteen in two fights. This completely violates the rules of the Secret Realm, how did she bring them in?”
“She doesn’t even have a single Magic Treasure on her. Could it be that she used some method and only brought Pills?”
“How is that possible…”
The Elder from the Blood Prison Sect was somewhat surprised.
If it were anything else, it would be understandable.
Using a secret method to bring in a better Magic Treasure would yield twice the results with half the effort, but to bring in only Pills?
That would be far too much of a loss.
Moreover, True Man Liu Yao was an expert in Beast Taming and Alchemy in life, and the Secret Realm was particularly sensitive to these aspects. There was no way to bypass the Secret Realm’s detection.
That was a rule-based power even stronger than Cultivation.
It existed from the moment the Secret Realm was generated, and even the Secret Realm’s owner could not lift the restrictions.
“It’s confirmed, she’s really not a disciple of our Blood Prison Sect…”
The Stewards had also checked the disciple roster and confirmed that none of them matched the Song Jiulai before them.
The same was true for the other Sects.
“She’s not a disciple of other Sects either.”
As soon as the lists were cross-referenced, the Stewards responsible for arranging entry into the Secret Realm were dumbfounded.
How could there be an extra disciple?
It’s impossible!
Besides the Four Great Sects, who have the Keys to open it, could there be other Keys?
“That’s also impossible. The entrance to the Secret Realm is here. Even if there were Keys, one could only enter by coming here.”
At this point, the Elders who discovered the problem realized the seriousness of the situation.
“This disciple is problematic. She’s very likely not from our Four Great Sects!”
“But if not, where did she come from, and how did she enter the Secret Realm? All disciples were under our watchful eyes when entering, and no one could have snuck in. Tai Xuan Sect, did you orchestrate this yourselves!”
Because the entrance to the Secret Realm this time was the responsibility of the Tai Xuan Sect to open.
Therefore, the ultimate responsibility fell upon the Tai Xuan Sect.
The people from the Tai Xuan Sect were furious.
Their disciples were about to be expelled, so why would they send someone in to specifically harm their own people?
Song Jiulai’s decision to change her appearance as soon as she entered was prescient.
Otherwise, her current kill order would have been directly notified to the Longevity Sect.
And at this moment, no matter how anxious the people from the Four Great Sects were, they could not control what happened in the already opened Secret Realm.
Yin Yunze, due to Yi Tianhe’s intelligence, had severely misjudged Song Jiulai. He fought increasingly desperately and eventually had to give up.
But it was easy to make bold claims before, and difficult to leave.
Song Jiulai, ignoring the Ghost Shadow Vulture Demon, chased Yin Yunze for at least an hour. Even when cornered, Yin Yunze used his strongest Magic Treasure, which was only Profound Grade, yet he still couldn’t do anything to Song Jiulai.
The opponent would just take Pills if they couldn’t win, and take Pills if they couldn’t win.
The main reason was that there was no gap in Strength between them, and when fighting, the opponent was like a perpetual motion machine, making it impossible to deal with!
It wasn’t until three disciples joined forces that Song Jiulai, who had been chasing them for a long distance, also sustained considerable injuries, and only then did she stop pursuing.
This was because Shui Tan said he had to prepare for a business trip and leave the Guanhai Sect, so he couldn’t stay at the Guanhai Sect to buy Pills for Song Jiulai.
Only then did Song Jiulai calm down.
It wasn’t that she enjoyed fighting, but rather that when others bullied her to her face, and she now had the ability to fight, why shouldn’t she?
What do you mean by unlimited Pill consumption? She bought them with her own money!
After meditating to recover for a while, Song Jiulai realized that this kind of combat was not without its benefits. Each time her Spiritual Energy was depleted, her combat awareness and the speed of Spiritual Energy recovery would improve slightly.
It seemed that constantly fighting Demonic Beasts was not enough; fighting Cultivators could stimulate greater potential.
Yin Yunze and the other two had fled, but the Ghost Shadow Vulture Demon remained in its original spot.
After fighting with Cultivators, fighting Demonic Beasts would have a much higher chance of success.
Song Jiulai, not having to worry about being backstabbed by others, and with her Palm Thunder having a significant counteracting effect on the Ghost Shadow Vulture Demon, took a Tier 4 Pill and defeated it.
It was just that she was almost re-drilled into the Ghost Shadow Grass by this creature.
Fortunately, her prediction was successful, and she intercepted it further at its location before it could enter.
After the Ghost Shadow Vulture Demon died, its body turned into nothingness, leaving behind only a gray, hazy Bead.
This was the Ghost Shadow Bead, which could be used with the Ghost Shadow Grass or not.
There was no one in the Sect who could refine it to this level yet, so Song Jiulai didn’t take it out for exchange and kept it in her Mustard Seed Bag.
The harvest from entering this Secret Realm was quite substantial.
There were no legendary heaven-defying Encounters, but the Spirit Herbs she gathered alone could make her rich.
After consuming so many Tier 4 Pills, if she sold all the Spirit Herbs, she could have accumulated several High-grade Spirit Stones.
She was going to be incredibly rich!
“That’s about it. The Secret Realm feels like it’s ending; the Energy is becoming unstable and converging in one Place. Follow my guidance, and the final good things will likely be in that location.”
The System was reliable at critical moments. As the Secret Realm was about to end, it could still predict the final collapse point, which would undoubtedly be the convergence point for the ultimate treasures.
Song Jiulai was very tempted: “What kind of good things?”
System: “Not entirely sure. Sometimes what I consider good things isn’t the same as what the Secret Realm’s owner considers good.”
Song Jiulai was also a little surprised: “You mean, those are things left behind by the Secret Realm’s owner?”
