The crazy uncle-master went on a killing spree, and the whole sect was burned to death!

Chapter 381 Xiao Heyun's Scheme
In order not to arouse Xiao Heyun's suspicion, she did not dare to leave the mark on him all at once, but instead tentatively touched him lightly.

Fortunately, no system notifications were heard.

Song Wanning smiled and directly applied the Blood Lotus Mark to him.

After doing all this, she inadvertently distanced herself from Xiao Heyun and quickly entered the secret realm.

As soon as I stepped through the gate, I was teleported out again, just like I expected.

The location is random.

When she came to her senses, she had already arrived at a place that looked like a paradise of birdsong and fragrant flowers.

All around, there was the sound of flowing water, as if I had wandered into the depths of a forest. Not far away, there were even deer everywhere, leisurely grazing on the grass, occasionally nudging tree trunks with their antlers to relieve their itch.

Where is this?

Song Wanning took out a map, which was drawn by the predecessors who had entered the Lingxi Secret Realm before. Every member of the Ancient Han Sect had a copy, and it recorded many places.

She searched through them one by one and finally found her location.

"According to the records, there is a medicinal herb garden here!!"

Suddenly, a familiar voice echoed in his mind; it was the golden sword that had awakened.

"you're awake?"

Song Wanning was pleasantly surprised. She really wasn't used to the absence of the little golden sword's nagging these days.

"Mmm, I'm awake!"

The little golden sword nodded somewhat shyly and jumped onto Song Wanning's shoulder.

"Brother, you're finally awake! We've all missed you so much!"

Long Ling pulled Shen You Xuan Huo along as they ran out, and the little guys all squatted on Song Wan Ning's shoulders, looking like guardians.

"hey-hey."

The little golden sword became even more embarrassed and scratched its head.

Song Wanning didn't rush to ask about its changes, but instead took the map and headed towards the location of the herb garden.

Now that she's gained some influence, she can easily reach people's hearts with a simple teleportation.

Now that she has received a new inheritance of alchemy, she needs a large amount of medicinal materials to refine pills, especially since many of these pills are of extremely high quality and cannot be refined using materials brought from the lower realm.

It's like a pillow being delivered just when you're about to fall asleep.

However, according to records, there are restrictions on the medicinal garden here, as well as guardian puppets, so one cannot be careless.

After crossing the stream and walking 800 meters forward, a shimmering barrier came into view, looking quite mysterious.

Song Wanning released her divine sense to test it, and found that her divine sense was indeed unable to penetrate the restriction.

After preparing her defenses, she took out her magical hairpin, easily opened the barrier, and carefully slipped inside.

As soon as you enter the restricted area, you are greeted by a rich medicinal fragrance. Just one whiff of it makes you feel full of vitality.

Looking up, the yard was filled with lush medicinal herbs, with different kinds neatly categorized and packed together without any omissions.

Song Wanning raised an eyebrow. This didn't look abandoned at all; it seemed as if someone had been taking good care of it.

Recalling the puppets her predecessors had seen, she quickly understood that the puppets must have been tending to the herbs, which was why they were growing so well.

That actually benefited her.

Faced with so many herbs, she didn't rush to pick them. Instead, she looked around and tried to select the most valuable herbs to pick, while also not "killing them all" and leaving some herbs for future generations to enjoy.

Moreover, the puppet wouldn't just stand by and watch you take all the herbs away.

Soon, Song Wanning's figure darted swiftly through the courtyard.

She placed the harvested herbs in the medicine shed she had previously acquired to ensure their medicinal properties were preserved to the greatest extent possible. She even planted some of the rarer herbs. A short while later, the puppet emerged.

Its entire body was made of metal, and its eyes shimmered with a wood-elemental green. Its gaze at Song Wanning was filled with murderous intent.

"It's up to you!"

Song Wanning chuckled at the little ones on her shoulder, then quickened her pace of picking.

Because she couldn't damage the roots, she could only do it as quickly as possible.

Such a large medicinal herb garden cannot be completed in a short period of time.

"Okay, don't worry, sister!"

The little golden sword chuckled and charged toward the puppet with its younger siblings.

……

On the other side of the secret realm, Jiang Cen hurriedly wandered around. She was very lucky; she was teleported to a place with top-grade fruit trees as soon as she arrived. The trees were full of spiritual fruits, which would greatly help her cultivation.

But with her mind preoccupied with the precious treasure and Zhang Shuning's precious possessions, she had no interest in these fruit trees.

"I need to find the place described in the book quickly, but the description isn't clear enough; I have to find it myself!!!"

"This place is huge, how long will it take me to find it?"

"Don't let that woman Zhang Shuning get her hands on the treasure first!"

Jiang Cen grew increasingly anxious and rampaged through the secret realm, eventually alerting a powerful demon.

This caused a bloodbath throughout the entire secret realm.

At the same time, Xiao Heyun was also exploring the secret realm under the guidance of the system. Because he owed too many points, he could no longer continue to pay on credit, and he couldn't even exchange for a treasure hunting function.

He hadn't experienced this kind of predicament in a long time since he transmigrated.

"No, if this continues, even the most precious treasures will be stolen."

"System, quickly locate Yun Yunzhou's position! Once I gain enough favor, I can exchange for the treasure hunt feature!!!"

With the strategy system in place, finding the other party's location is a piece of cake.

"Host, please wait a moment. We are locating the target..."

"The location of the target has been determined. It is nearby. Please proceed there as soon as possible."

In the system, a red dot was marked, and Xiao Heyun immediately perked up.

He first tidied his appearance, then carefully selected a new robe. Only after he was convinced that his appearance was invincible did he head towards the location of the red dot.

About an hour later, he finally arrived at Yun Yunzhou's location.

Before they even got close, they saw Yun Yunzhou being attacked by a demonic beast, and he was in a very dangerous situation.

Xiao Heyun's eyes lit up; this was a golden opportunity to be a hero and save the damsel in distress!

Without thinking, he rushed over and quickly joined the battle.

Yun Yunzhou was facing an enemy when a person suddenly appeared, and she almost attacked the newcomer on instinct.

Fortunately, the other side was after the demonic beasts.

Her gaze darkened, and she quickly put away something in her hand.

Xiao Heyun caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye and almost vomited blood.

I was trying to help her out of kindness, but this woman immediately hid the treasure away, as if afraid I would take it away.

He cursed inwardly, but his face remained extremely cold and indifferent as he dealt with the demonic beasts ruthlessly, his methods both ruthless and forceful.
