The immortals of the two worlds started from farming and refining pills.

Chapter 106: Mysterious Realm, Golden Lotus Seeds (First Update)
Zhou Luan rushed out from the other side and saw Guo Yuanji and Zhao Feng confronting each other. He was shocked: "Zhao Feng, Fellow Daoist Guo, what are you doing?"

Guo and Zhao were dumbfounded: "Fellow Daoist Zhou, how did you come back to life?"

The originally tense atmosphere became even more bizarre due to Zhou Luan's sudden appearance.

Li Qing tried his best to activate the Taihao Palace map in his spiritual platform, constantly wiping away the distracting thoughts in his mind, trying to discern the truth, but it was still in vain.

He raised his voice from a distance and suggested, "Since you three all hold different opinions, why don't you verify each other's opinions and see where the problem lies?"

Because Li Qing came in later and had never had any disputes with them, with his persuasion, the three of them calmed down a little and began to tell each other's experiences.

Zhao Feng said that he and Zhou Luan entered the alchemy room and found it empty except for an alchemy furnace where a pill was still being refined.

The two of them were about to open the furnace to take the elixir when Guo Yuanji suddenly appeared, attacked Zhou Luan first, snatched the elixir, and then chased him.

Guo Yuanji retorted that he went to the alchemy room to check after hearing Zhou Luan's screams, and found that Zhao Feng was seriously injured and was throwing Zhou Luan's body into the alchemy furnace.

However, Zhou Luan said that he was exploring the Sutra Library with Guo Yuanji, and was ambushed by Zhao Feng and another foundation-building cultivator.

What concerned Li Qing was that the three of them came to this square as soon as they entered the doorway. They did not see the Children's Fun sign, and did not gain anything else during their exploration.

Because he could not use his spiritual consciousness and true energy, Li Qing was unable to tell what was right and what was wrong for a moment.

But he keenly sensed something was wrong: "Do you three know where the other fellow Taoist has gone?"

Guo Yuanji and the other two were so angry that they almost came to blows. They were stunned when they heard this: "Isn't the other fellow Taoist..."

Li Qing took a deep breath and said, "I remember that we all exchanged our names and origins on the boat. Do you know the name of that fellow Taoist?"

The four people present could not help but look at each other.

"It can't be that..." Guo Yuanji hesitated, "We were already in trouble when we were outside the secret realm, right?"

Outside the secret realm, everyone's spiritual consciousness and magical power are not restricted. If everyone is deceived by others, it would be too terrifying.

Li Qing took a deep breath and said, "I have never been to the alchemy room or the Sutra Library. Why don't I go there with you three to see what's going on?"

Guo Yuanji and Zhou Luan agreed, and Zhao Feng did not object.

To Li Qing, the Sutra Repository, which did not appear in the Tongqu Road sign, was indeed somewhat suspicious.

But the other three wanted to go to the alchemy room where the "two murders" had taken place. Li Qing was not in a hurry and followed the crowd.

Different from the spiritual plant garden that Li Qing had entered before, this alchemy room was very grand and had an entire palace.

Unfortunately, the building has been deserted for a long time. There are no spiritual materials, elixirs, elixir books or elixir recipes inside.

Only in the main hall, a furnace was knocked over on the ground, and a strange fragrance wafted out of the furnace. Everyone took a whiff and felt that the confinement of their spiritual consciousness was relieved a little.

Li Qing stepped forward and touched the furnace wall with his hand: "It is still warm. I think it is just as what fellow Taoists Guo and Zhao said. There was indeed a pill in the furnace before."

He moved closer to the stove and sniffed it. "There is no smell of blood. Daoist Fellow Guo said that Daoist Fellow Zhao used it to deal with Daoist Fellow Zhou's body, so it should be..."

Guo Yuanji calmly looked around the alchemy room: "The injuries suffered by Daoist Friend Zhao are real. But where is his blood?"

Zhao Feng looked around and found that apart from the overturned alchemy furnace, there were no other signs of fighting: "That's true..."

Zhou Luan had no reaction to the alchemy room and only urged: "Then let's go to the Sutra Library to take a look."

So the four of them rushed to the Sutra Library without stopping. The Sutra Library was very tall and was filled with various bookshelves. If all the books were put on them, it would almost be a room full of books.

Unfortunately, like the alchemy room, the Sutra Library was also emptied.

Zhou Luan came to a messy room and pointed at the bookshelf on the ground and said, "It was here that Daoist Zhao and another Daoist attacked Daoist Guo and me from behind..."

Zhao Feng refuted with a sneer: "I have never been here."

Guo Yuanji also said: "Although I have been here, there was no conflict. And there seems to be no blood here."

The clues were cut off here.

Li Qing ignored their argument and searched the Sutra Library carefully. He found something wrong in a house in the corner.

"There might be a jade slip here that was taken away not long ago." He pointed to an area on the bookshelf. "Although it looks the same, if you look closely, you can still see it..."

Guo Yuanji stamped his feet fiercely: "When I heard Daoist Zhou screaming, I was only one step away from this room."

"Could it be that fellow Taoist is really behind this?" Li Qing said solemnly, "Perhaps he also took the elixir from the alchemy room..."

"Then let's go check other areas quickly, so that all the good stuff won't be taken away by him." Zhao Feng couldn't help but feel anxious.

Just in case, the four of them did not divide into groups this time. They just followed the signs and quickly explored other areas.

However, no remains of the Beast Garden, the Fish Pond, or the Weapon Refining Workshop remain.

"Is this the Spiritual Plant Garden?" Guo Yuanji pushed open the magnificent vermilion gate and shook his head in disappointment, "They've all moved away..."

Li Qing looked at the large garden, which was completely different from what he saw when he came in. He wondered in his heart: "Could it be that this secret realm is divided into many levels?"

"Brother Zhou is in great luck! He is the first to discover the treasure." Zhao Feng deliberately spoke loudly.

Li Qing walked over quickly and saw Zhou Luan squatting in a dry pond, picking up a lotus pod that was mostly covered by mud.

Guo Yuanji and Zhao Feng stood aside, watching intently until Zhou Luan dug out the lotus pod.

Li Qing took a closer look and found that the lotus head was already rotten. Even though Zhou Luan had been very careful, most of it was still torn into pieces.

In the lotus pod, most of the lotus seeds are empty shells, only four fruits are full. After rubbing off the dust on them, they are faintly glowing with golden light.

"I'll give each of us one lotus seed." Zhou Luan felt a little painful, but he still divided up his harvest tactfully.

Li Qing took one and said, "Thank you for your generosity, fellow Taoist."

This lotus seed looks plump, but it feels very light in the hand, like a piece of fine feather.

Li Qing held the lotus seed and looked up, using the skylight above the secret realm to observe, and found that the lotus seed pulp was empty, with only a bud and leaf, which seemed to have dried up.

But what surprised Li Qing was that the golden light emitted by the lotus seeds seemed to have the same magical effect of removing the shackles of spiritual consciousness.

He only looked at the sky light for a while, and the spiritual consciousness in his mind came out a little.

He subconsciously swept his spiritual sense over the lotus seeds in his hand, but found nothing.

This is the first chapter written this morning (Monday). I am writing the second chapter and will try to publish it soon.
