Chapter 24: Danger Approaches
The group of pavilions where a million outer sect disciples reside occupies an area of eight hundred miles.
Each ancient-style pavilion has two levels: the lower level serves as the main hall, while the upper level contains a training room and two bedrooms.
To prevent outer sect disciples from being spied on while practicing, the higher-ups of the Sacred Sect have set up barriers to obstruct spiritual sense within the area of eight hundred miles.
The bloodwing spirit lion, carrying Tan Yun and Mu Mengyi, walked along the stone-paved street, attracting the attention of many disciples.
The focus of their attention was none other than Mu Mengyi, who possessed both talent and beauty.
The bloodwing spirit lion stopped in front of a pavilion, with a plaque above it reading "Mu Mengyi."
As Tan Yun gently placed Mu Mengyi down on the bed on the second floor, a beautiful girl in a white skirt entered, calling out cheerfully, "Mu Shijie, according to the schedule, you should have returned seven days ago! Why are you only now..."
The white skirt girl’s voice suddenly stopped as her almond-shaped eyes widened, staring at Tan Yun. She pouted, "Who are you? How did you end up in Mu Shijie's room?"
Xue Ziyan, who shared a sisterly bond with Mu Mengyi, had been staying in another bedroom of the pavilion for seven days, waiting for Mu Mengyi's return.
Without waiting for Tan Yun to speak, Mu Mengyi introduced him to Xue Ziyan while also sharing Murong Kun's shameless actions.
Upon hearing this, Xue Ziyan placed her hands on her hips in anger and cursed Murong Kun for being worse than a beast. At the same time, her fondness for Tan Yun, who risked his life to save Mu Mengyi, greatly increased.
"Tan Yun, the news of our survival will soon reach Murong Kun. Although he wouldn’t dare to openly retaliate against you in the sect, you still need to be very careful," Mu Mengyi warned with a concerned expression.
"Um, I will," Tan Yun replied.
Mu Mengyi further reminded him, "The Hall of Infinity is managed by the elder supreme, and there are thousands of types of techniques suitable for us spirit胎 realm disciples to cultivate. You can use your identity token to claim a lower-tier technique."
"But if you want to obtain mid-tier, high-tier, or even treasure-level techniques suitable for spirit胎 realm practitioners, you’ll need to gather spiritual herbs and hunt demon beasts to exchange for contribution points. The amount of contribution points determines the quality of the techniques you can exchange for."
"There are twelve small secret realms in our outer sect, available for outer sect disciples to collect spiritual herbs and hunt demon beasts. As long as you activate the teleportation array in the Hall of Time and Space with spirit stones, you can reach any of the small secret realms."
Hearing this, Tan Yun smiled, "Thank you for the reminder, Shijie. By the way, are there any shops in the outer sect market that sell fire seeds?"
Tan Yun thought of primordial flame and primordial ice flame, realizing that only by devouring fire seeds of fire attributes and ice attributes could he advance, thus he asked.
"No," Mu Mengyi replied honestly. "I’ve heard there are some in the inner sect market, but we outer sect disciples can only go there after advancing to the fetal soul realm and becoming inner sect disciples."
"Got it." After Tan Yun nodded in understanding, he said, "Shijie, you should rest. I’ll come back to see you later."
Suddenly, Mu Mengyi remembered something and reminded Tan Yun that on the twenty-fifth day, the elder of the outer sect would announce something important, and all disciples must not be absent.
Tan Yun acknowledged her and turned to leave.
Watching Tan Yun's back, Mu Mengyi parted her red lips but ultimately said nothing.
"Shijie, he's gone!" Xue Ziyan waved her hand in front of Mu Mengyi, giggling, "Shijie, why do I feel like the way you look at Tan Shidi is different from how you look at other male disciples? Hehe, I know! You’re not falling for him, are you?"
