Chapter 301 Resisting Temptation
"How is this going?"

Zhang Lingrui immediately asked.

The female cultivator from the Immortal Transformation Sect changed her expression and shouted:
"Get out of here quickly! This tiny city has already been claimed by a master, and the master is taking over the city. If we don't leave now, we'll be trapped here."

"go!"

After shouting, Cao Yi flashed away and decisively left the spot.

The others followed suit and left. Only the two Golden Core female cultivators from the Immortal Transformation Sect were somewhat unwilling, but they were a step too late and had no choice but to resign themselves to their fate and leave quickly.

The moment everyone stepped out of the city gate, the entire city began to shrink rapidly, eventually becoming the size of a palm and vanishing in an instant as a ball of light.

Because the mountainside had lost the support of the city, loose rocks began to fall, and it was clearly about to collapse.

"Get out of here first."

The group had no choice but to leave in another direction.

Not long after everyone left, a figure quietly followed, but the smugness on the other person's face was too obvious.

Wei Yunqing's lips curled slightly at this moment. She felt that she had finally had a stroke of good luck after entering the secret realm. One moment she was being chased by a third-tier earth dragon, and the next moment she stepped on the teleportation array and was teleported out of the cave.

Before she could even determine her location, the evil spirit in her mind transmitted a message to her, telling her that this was the center of the miniature city and that if she refined the array pillar in the mansion, she could take over the entire city.

Wei Yunqing was somewhat incredulous and tentatively asked:

"Are you telling the truth? Cities can be refined?"

"What good would it do me to lie to you? You're just ignorant. The portable cities of ancient cultivators and the portable magic houses of high-level cultivators are similar in some ways, but magic houses and cities are incomparable. How can a house compare to a city?"

Wei Yunqing was indeed tempted after hearing this. It was a good thing. In the end, she could not resist the temptation. Under the guidance of the evil spirit, she refined the array pillar and became the master of this city. Then she discovered the cultivators of Haoran Sect, Yunmen Temple and Huaxian Sect exploring the city.

To avoid trouble, Wei Yunqing did not show her face. Instead, she put the city away and placed it in her crimson bracelet. Then, with a quick glance, she quietly followed them. She didn't want to fight alone; it would be safer to follow these people.

Wei Yunqing was unaware that after she listened to the evil spirit's words, the restrictions binding it had changed. The evil spirit had become unusually docile and no longer tried to break through the restrictions, because it was confident that the female cultivator would release it on her own.

Meanwhile, Yunxi found herself alone again after entering the bamboo forest. Her divine sense was also limited once more, only able to probe the situation within two miles around her. She couldn't see the entire bamboo forest, which made her feel very insecure.

So Yunxi swiftly pulled Dian Dian out of the space.

"Master, is there anything I can do for you?"

"Dian Dian, you have a keen sense of smell. Smell around here and see if there's anything strange or if there's any treasure."

"Yes, Master!"

DianDian readily agreed, then her little nose twitched, and she raised her paw, pointing in a direction:

"Master, there's a nice smell over here, let's go take a look."

Yunxi nodded, looked up again at the sky blocked by dense bamboo, then turned around and walked in the direction Dian Dian pointed.

After entering the bamboo forest, Yunxi kept her protective spiritual shield open. Now that she had separated from the three Nascent Soul True Monarchs, she put on another protective spiritual shield before continuing forward.

After walking for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Dian Dian called her to stop.

"Master, this way."

Following DianDian's directions, Yunxi changed direction again. After walking for a quarter of an hour, DianDian pointed in another direction. After two such instances, Yunxi stopped. Even DianDian noticed something was wrong. "Master, this baby can run. It's leading us in circles."

Dian Dian shook his beard, looking somewhat angry.

Yunxi rubbed Dian Dian's head:

"It seems this treasure has developed a spirit, which makes things a bit troublesome."

Dot Dot rolled its black bean eyes and asked:
"Master, should we continue the pursuit?"

Yunxi thought for a moment and decided to give up. It wasn't that she didn't want the rare treasures, but this bamboo forest made her very uncomfortable, and she wanted to leave as soon as possible. If this unknown thing led her into a trap, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Keep in mind that this is an area for Nascent Soul stage cultivators to explore and train; she wasn't arrogant enough to be invincible, so she spoke up:

"Let's not chase after them. What if they get us into trouble? Let's find the three True Lords first. If we can't find them, let's leave this bamboo forest. This place makes me very uncomfortable."

"Okay, I'll listen to the master."

Dian Dian immediately responded.

Then Yunxi waved her sleeve and released the little flying butterflies to explore the area. The little ones would have to work hard in the area outside her divine sense range. Feixia remained in her sleeve to keep in touch with the little flying butterflies at all times.

After Yunxi had been gone for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Dian Dian transmitted her voice:

"Master, that thing has followed us."

Yunxi replied without stopping:
"Let it follow if it wants, just ignore it."

Dian Dian scratched her ear and said:
"Yes."

Although it verbally agreed, its nose kept twitching, constantly observing what was following them.

Based on the message relayed by the Little Flying Butterfly, Yunxi adjusted her direction several times. Finally, Diandian couldn't help but transmit her voice:
"Master, it's getting closer and closer."

Yunxi stopped and turned to look in the direction Dian Dian was pointing.

Five breaths later, the two emerald green bamboo leaves suddenly moved. This time, before Yunxi could speak, Diandian jumped out and, the moment it landed, used all four paws to run towards the increasingly swaying bamboo leaves, then leaped up and pounced heavily on them.

The thick bamboo became the battlefield between Dian Dian and her opponent. Yun Xi chose to stand by and watch, because the battle ended quickly.

A moment later, Dian Dian came to Yun Xi with a piece of tender bamboo in her mouth, and said in a somewhat boastful tone:
“Master, this is the thing that has been following us. It seems to be a bamboo spirit, but it’s a bit clumsy. It carries its true form with it so that Dian Dian can catch it every time.”

Yunxi smiled, took the section of emerald green bamboo into her hand, and carefully stroked it. She then discovered that the bamboo was not hollow; water seemed to flow inside the bamboo joint, and there were some marks on the surface of the bamboo that looked like tear stains.

Yun Xi asked tentatively:

"Are you the owner of this bamboo forest? You're following me because you want to acknowledge me as your master? And want me to take you away?"

The little bamboo finally stirred; it shook its leaves twice, but Yunxi couldn't understand what it meant.

Dian Dian was much more direct; it brandished its paws at the bamboo and said:
“My master is asking you a question, why don’t you reveal your true form?”

Perhaps sensing a slight threat, the little bamboo swayed and in the next instant transformed into a chubby white baby with a small bun and wearing a green bib, which was held in Yunxi's palm with one hand.

The little child's face was streaked with tears as he cautiously asked:
"Smells so good, sister, can you save my grandpa?"
