Chapter 183 Parting
Zhou Ling and her daughter didn't kill him for the treasure on him, but just to get rid of a future trouble.
As for the resources for cultivating immortals, if you have them, you have them. If you don’t have them, then you will have no chance of getting them. There is nothing to feel sad about.
The most important thing in life is not to have any regrets, because once this emotion is generated, it will trouble the person for a long time afterwards. Tossing and turning in bed is the least of it, and affecting one's mood is bad.
For a cultivator, the most important thing is his state of mind. If he has this kind of regretful emotion, it is equivalent to having a knot in his heart, and he will probably not be able to go far on the path of cultivating immortals.
……
At this time, among the many sect leaders gathered at the entrance of the secret realm, one of them suddenly became furious with his beard standing on end.
"Who is it! Who killed my disciple! Who is it!!!"
Many people were attracted by his roar and looked towards him frequently.
Almost everyone knew the chief elder of the Six Peaks, but among his disciples, there was only one whose cultivation level met the requirements for opening the secret realm, and that was the boy named Ye Cheng.
From what he said, Ye Cheng was killed in the secret realm?
Many people expressed disbelief. After all, a person’s character is always best known by those closest to him.
They were all from the same sect, although they belonged to different peaks and sometimes had conflicts, but in a sect, everyone knew each other. The slightest gossip could spread throughout the sect, and when it came down to it, it seemed like no one had any privacy.
Everyone in the sect knows the guy named Ye. He is as famous as his master, notorious for being arrogant and domineering and for robbing people by force!
Before entering the secret realm, he had killed many people in order to snatch treasures from them.
After entering the secret realm, he had the best timing, location and people, and no one was watching him, so he could do whatever he wanted.
If this incident is true, then he must have been the one who started the trouble first, and then he ran into a tough guy and was killed.
No one sympathized or felt sorry for him, and many people who had suffered persecution from him only felt happy.
Many people are even secretly wondering who the tough guy Ye Cheng is going to run into inside. If possible, they hope that the tough guy can run into a few more waves of people who are out to kill and rob treasures. As long as the other party has enough ability to fight back, there will probably be fewer people coming out when the secret realm is closed.
Although this will do more harm than good to the sect, for most ordinary cultivators, killing those who like to harm their fellow disciples and kill people for treasures can greatly improve the safety of their environment, which is naturally worth looking forward to.
If Zhou Ling knew that those people outside cursed her so much that they killed Ye Cheng, and then encountered two waves of people who tried to attack them one after another, she would definitely curse those jinxes!
They haven't killed many monsters yet, but already more than a dozen monks have died at their hands.
There was silence and fatigue in the eyes of both mother and daughter. Even Liu Zhen, who didn't help much, looked a little tired. She was really collecting corpses and pain for the enemy.
He didn't say it explicitly, but in fact, what he thought in his heart was similar to that of most people out there.
People like Ye Cheng should be punished specifically. Since the secret realm is a good place, they dare to do evil and should also dare to accept the price of doing evil.
They died in the secret realm, so their death could be considered natural. Even if they had some background, the people were gone in the secret realm. Could the big guys behind them track them down and investigate?
Every time the secret realm is opened, many people will die. Almost everyone is prepared for this.
Whether it is people walking inside or people waiting outside.
After picking the Lingshi flowers, the group did not plan a specific destination for the rest of the time, because the northern forest in this secret realm was almost full of treasures. Although Liu Zhen was a low-level alchemist, he was just a little less qualified. He did not have a good master to teach him the skills of alchemy, so his skills were also a little worse. But he had done his homework on the basic knowledge of alchemy and the identification of various spiritual plants.
Since entering this northern forest, Liu Zhen's hands have never been idle. He can see an ordinary spiritual plant almost every two steps, and a precious spiritual plant every ten steps!
Although these spiritual plants are not like the spiritual stone flowers, which are special products of the secret realm and cannot be bought outside, these spiritual plants are so precious that even if they are purchased outside, it will cost a lot of spiritual stones.
Liu Zhen felt that her choice was the most correct one ever.
Even though the identities of the sisters were unknown, their kindness towards him was real, and he was deeply grateful for their help along the way.
It had only been ten days since he entered the northern forest, but the various spiritual plants he had collected had already far exceeded the small goal he had set before entering.
With these, after he goes out, he won’t have to worry about the resources until he reaches the Core Formation stage or even the Nascent Soul stage.
A great favor needs no thanks, but actually... he also realized that perhaps, there was no time for him to express his gratitude.
Although spiritual plants are everywhere in the northern forest, the number of ferocious monsters guarding those spiritual plants is directly proportional.
Monsters pay no attention to ordinary spiritual plants, but after eating precious spiritual plants, monsters can heal their wounds and increase their cultivation. Since they have intelligence and knowledge, they will naturally protect the spiritual plants and wait for them to mature before eating them.
Almost all of the monsters guarding those that Liu Zhen was able to capture were dealt with with the help of the mother and daughter.
Don’t ask why he doesn’t do it himself, the reason is that he is too inexperienced.
Thinking about the lofty words he had said in his mind before, about how one must protect his junior sister because of his high level of cultivation, he couldn't help laughing when he recalled it now.
In this world of cultivating immortals, the level of one’s cultivation can never represent everything.
For example, his main occupation is an alchemist. Although he has a high level of cultivation, his combat ability is poor. When fighting against monsters of the same level, he can only barely survive.
But these two sword-cultivating sisters are different. They fight against higher-level opponents, not only against humans, but also against monsters.
Along the way, the two sisters did not pick any spiritual plants, and almost all of their time was spent fighting monsters, calling it practicing swordsmanship. However, only Liu Zhen could see that there was already a look of fatigue on their faces, as if they were trying to hurry as much as possible.
No one said it explicitly, but he just had a vague feeling.
The sisters helped him collect the spiritual plants he needed as quickly as possible, probably because they wanted to separate and work on their own after helping him fulfill his wish.
Sure enough, the next day, after breakfast and cleaning up the table and various pots and pans, Zhou Ling gathered everyone together and said that she had something important to say.
"Senior Brother Liu is a smart man. He should be able to guess why we have been collecting so many spiritual plants in the past few days."
Liu Zhen felt a little empty inside. He was very grateful for the help of the sisters and was also satisfied with what he had gained in the secret realm. However, they had been traveling together for so many days and he still felt a little reluctant when they were about to part.
