Chapter 127: Ten consecutive draws yield a rare treasure! Taking the girls through dungeons~

"I'm so happy today! Yukito-san liked the cake I made, and Ms. Mizuki praised us too!"

Sakura carried the empty cake box, her steps so light they seemed to float, and grinned.

Tomoyo walked beside her, nodding in agreement: "Yes, it's really fun to make cakes together with everyone and share the results. Especially seeing Sakura's expression when she gets praised, (▽) it's so cute~"

Sakura shyly scratched him, then suddenly remembered something, turned to look at Ye Hui, and asked in confusion, "By the way, Ye Hui, you said you were going to buy drinks, but you came back empty-handed? Did you not buy any?"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Ye Hui said without changing his expression, "Yes, the vending machine was sold out of the Coke I wanted, and I wasn't interested in any other drinks, so I didn't buy any."

"I see. That's really unfortunate."

Naïve Sakura had no suspicions whatsoever and quickly put the matter out of her mind.

Zhi Shi glanced at Ye Hui, a smile in her eyes.

She thought she just saw Ye walk straight towards the tree where Li was hiding.

It seems they didn't even go to the vending machine, right?
【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

However, Tomoyo didn't point it out, but instead smiled and changed the subject: "By the way, Sakura, do you remember what the cooking class theme is tomorrow? I think I've forgotten."

"Let me think... I think it's about making cookies! Tomorrow we can work together to figure out what flavor of cookies to make!"

Sakura, thinking about tomorrow's cooking class, excitedly discussed it with Tomoyo.

We've reached the intersection.

After saying goodbye to Sakura and Tomoyo, Ye Hui quickly returned to his villa.

Ye Hui tossed his schoolbag to the housekeeper, asking him to pack his things for class the next day, and then returned to his bedroom.

As soon as he entered, he eagerly opened the system panel, his eyes fixed on the emotion value column.

[Emotional value: 2015 points]

"Finally! I've finally saved up enough points for a ten-pull!"

Ye Hui couldn't help but clench his fist.

So comfortable!
"System! Exchange two adventure maps for me!"

[Successfully redeemed 2 Adventure Maps, deducting 2000 Emotion Points, leaving 15 Emotion Points.]

"System! Give me a ten-pull! Unlock ten adventure maps directly!"

Ye Hui took a light breath.

Although there was no special "ceremony" prepared, and no attempt to hold Sakura's hand to try and get some good luck from her.

But he felt that his luck had been pretty good lately, and he was always by the side of Sakura, the protagonist of the world. Even if he couldn't be extremely lucky, he wasn't too unlucky either.

[10 Adventure Maps Unlocked... Rewards being calculated...]

While cleaning the scripture pavilion of the Myriad Laws Immortal Sect, you accidentally discovered a dusty old book in a corner of the bookshelf. Upon opening it, you found it to be a forgotten cookbook. Following the instructions, you studied the recipes and discovered that the book contained special dishes imbued with spiritual energy. You have obtained the Spiritual Cuisine Cookbook – "The Record of Delicacies"!

"A Recipe for Spiritual Cuisine!"

Ye Hui's eyes lit up, and a thought struck him.

The spiritual cuisine he knows now is basically all self-taught and researched, lacking systematic recipe guidance.

This book, "A Record of Delicacies," has arrived at just the right time!
Moreover, the name itself sounds extraordinary, and one wonders how many kinds of spiritual food it contains.

However, in any case, a professional recipe should be able to enhance the effects of spiritual food.

[Your alchemy talent is mediocre. While attempting to refine basic pills, you burned your furnace eighty-one times in a row. Just as you were feeling discouraged, you discovered a charred, blackened tattered page in the ashes at the bottom of the furnace. Upon closer inspection, you realized it was a pill recipe. Following the instructions, you repaired the recipe and obtained—the Recipe for the Youth-Preserving Pill!]

Anti-aging pill?
Ye Hui blinked.

Although Sakura and Tomoyo are still children, they don't need the anti-aging pill for the time being.

But Ye Hui immediately thought of Zhi Shi's mother.

This is a way to impress your future mother-in-law...

Ugh, it's the perfect tool to boost Aunt Sonomi's favorability!

Moreover, this thing could perhaps be sent to his own company for research, or he could refine some and grind the pills directly into powder.

Give some of that powder out to the company's research department to study. If they can make a skincare product, that would be a huge profit.

After all, a single pill, ground into powder and diluted hundreds or thousands of times, can be used to create countless finished products!
At that time, apart from the most basic pill refining process, it will be almost a business with no capital investment. No other ingredients will need to be added; you can just add water directly.

Anyway, most skincare products are basically just water.

Ultimately, as long as it looks somewhat effective, that's fine.

"But I'm not short of money, and I don't care about making money or not. I might as well share the commercial value of this with Zhi Shi's mom when I'm building up the garden's reputation. She'll definitely think I'm very capable, hahaha~"

With Tomoyo's mother's support, the path to winning Tomoyo over is clearly going to be much faster!
Coming to his senses, Ye Hui continued to look at the system notification.

While strolling through the Immortal Cultivation Market, you spot a vendor selling old items at a low price. You unexpectedly exchange a low-grade spirit stone for a faded animal hide map. Following the map, you spend half a day finding the cliffside cave marked on it. Deep within the cave, you discover the relics of a rogue alchemist, from which you obtain—a Mid-Level Alchemist's Manual x1!

[System Prompt: Using the manual will unlock the beginner alchemist cap and advance you to intermediate alchemist. Use now?]

Ye Hui's eyes lit up.

He is currently only a novice alchemist, and his success rate in alchemy remains limited.

This intermediate alchemist's manual will be just what he needs to break through his bottleneck, giving him more confidence in refining high-level pills in the future.

While organizing books in the Wanfa Immortal Sect's scripture pavilion, you found a tattered travelogue in a corner. As you flipped through it, a yellowed map of spiritual herbs fell out from between the pages. Following the map, you gathered a batch of rare medicinal herbs in a secluded spot in the back mountain, obtaining—7 Jade Marrow Ganoderma and 3 Dewdrop Grass!

"Jade Marrow Fungus and Dew-Gathering Grass? These are key ingredients for refining high-grade spiritual food and pills. Not bad."

While cultivating in the back mountains of your sect, you happened to observe a group of ants carrying crystal fragments, which spontaneously formed a peculiar pattern. Following the pattern, you dug into the anthill and unexpectedly discovered the entrance to an ancient cave. Inside the cave, you obtained—a Shrinking Earth Talisman x1!

Shrinking the earth to an inch?
Ye Hui tilted his head.

This talisman can temporarily increase movement speed, making it very useful for escaping or chasing when in danger. It's a pretty good life-saving item.

Ye Hui doesn't really need it, but it's fine to leave it for Zhi Shi.

While exploring a hidden realm, you discover an ancient sword mark on the rock face behind a waterfall. As you pause to examine the mark, you inadvertently knock away a layer of outer rock, revealing hidden celestial patterns. Piecing these patterns together, you obtain a celestial treasure map. Following the map, you find extraterrestrial debris in a meteorite crater, from which you acquire—1 Star Iron!

While playing with spirit beasts in your sect's spirit beast garden, you are drawn to a spirit fox and chase it into a hidden tree hollow. Deep inside the hollow, amidst claw marks, you discover a map made of animal hide, stained with beast blood. Following the map, you find the burial ground of an ancient demon cultivator, from which you obtain—a fragmented demon core x1!

[For seven consecutive days, you've seen the same misty mountain peak in your dreams. Upon waking, you sketched a map of the mountain from your memories. Following the map, you found the same peak behind your sect, and at its summit, you discovered the final resting place of a Nascent Soul cultivator. You have obtained—Divine Sense Crystal x1!]

[Your daily cultivation in the sect became too monotonous, so you suddenly had the idea to draw a map of a secret realm, but your lack of skill caused you to fail. You carelessly discarded the ruined map, only to have it picked up by the guardian deity, Tomoyo of the Great Dao Temple. Three days later, Tomoyo deciphered the hidden array within the map and returned it to you. Following the map, you unexpectedly found the entrance to an unexplored secret realm, and you obtained—a fragmented map of a secret realm x1!]

Secret Realm Map!

Ye Hui's spirits lifted instantly.

Isn't this exactly the dungeon resource he's always wanted?
If there are new dungeons, he will be able to legitimately take Sakura and Tomoyo to the secret realm for training.

This way, they can improve their combat skills, allowing Sakura to use the Clow Cards more proficiently, and also farm monsters for materials and equipment—it's a win-win situation!
As for the Little Spirit Medicine World, due to some recent changes, Ye Hui doesn't really want to continue bringing Xiao Ying and the others in.

It's not that Ye Hui didn't want Tomoyo and Sakura to know the secret of the Spirit Medicine Small World, which is that World Tree.

Rather, it's because, now that the World Tree has appeared, who knows if there will be any problems with the dimensional barrier?

If one day while they are in the Spirit Medicine Small World, they are sucked into another world, then they may very well encounter unknown dangers.

If Ye Hui were alone, he could do a lot of things, but if he brought two companions, there would be even more things to consider.

Therefore, the Spirit Medicine Small World, which was originally the source of his spirit medicine seeds, can be entered and exited by him as he pleases.

Moreover, the time one can stay in the spiritual herb micro-world is very short.

Even if we bring Sakura and the others along, we won't be able to get much done.

But this secret realm instance might be different.

They have the potential to actually practice there!

Ye Hui had already started imagining himself leading two cute girls through the secret realm, dominating everything in his path, and returning home laden with loot.

Now, only one reward remains.

Ye Hui was very much looking forward to it.

The first nine rewards have been so amazing, the last one, the grand finale, can't possibly disappoint, right?

[You were punished for a mistake in your cultivation and were confined to the "Cliff of Repentance," a forbidden area within the sect, for three days of solitary contemplation. During this time, you inadvertently touched ancient runes on the cliff face, triggering a hidden ancient forbidden star map. Following the map, you drifted through the void in a spirit boat for forty-nine days, finally arriving at the star field marked on the map. At the core of the star field, you found a strange, entirely gray stone, and you obtained—a Chaos Stone x1!]

If the first nine rewards were just a pleasant surprise for Ye Hui...

That Chaos Stone alone was enough to make his heart pound!

He stared at the words "Chaos Stone" on the system panel for a full half minute before he came to his senses.

Chaos Stone.

It is a supreme divine object born before the creation of heaven and earth and at the beginning of the universe!

It contains the most primordial and purest chaotic power, and is also the core material for refining innate spiritual treasures.

Let alone his current low-level cultivation environment, even in a high-level immortal world.

The Chaos Stone is a legendary treasure that exists only in legends, enough to make even True Immortal-level powerhouses fight madly for it.

He actually... got it through a ten-pull?!

Ye Hui couldn't help but pinch himself.

Ouch—it hurts a little.

"How come I have such a strong grip?"

Ye Hui was very happy.

This time, my luck isn't just exceptionally good, it's off the charts!

After calming himself down, Ye Hui first dealt with the rewards that could be used immediately.

[Successfully used the Intermediate Alchemist's Manual!]

[Successfully used Divine Sense Crystal!]

Subsequently, Ye Hui categorized and stored materials such as Chalcedony, Dew Grass, and Star Iron into the system space.

The "Record of Delicacies" will be put aside for now.

Although he was eager to study the recipes for the spiritual food inside, there were more important things waiting for him to examine at the moment.

Ye Hui first retrieved the secret realm map from the system space.

The map is made of a special material, neither gold nor wood, and has a slightly cool feel to the touch.

The text is a jumbled mess of characters and symbols, seemingly unrelated to the main text. It's impossible to translate it coherently without the original context.

"System, how do I use this map?" Ye Hui asked.

[Infuse your spiritual energy into the map to open the secret realm passage. This secret realm is randomly generated; the internal environment, monster types, and resource distribution are not fixed, and there are unknown dangers. It is recommended to enter in a team or after improving your strength.]

Randomly generated secret realms?
Ye Hui touched his chin.

This is similar to the roguelike games I've played before; each time I enter, it's a completely new experience, which is quite fun.

However, the map is incomplete, and it's unclear whether this will affect the integrity of the secret realm.
He put the question aside for the time being.

Anyway, we'll figure it out when we go in and explore later.

After carefully putting away the map of the secret realm, Ye Hui cautiously took out the Chaos Stone.

Swish!
A rich spiritual energy wafted over me.

The Chaos Stone is only the size of a fist, grayish in color, and has no luster on its surface. It looks like an ordinary pebble and is not particularly eye-catching.

But when Ye Hui held it in his palm, he could clearly feel a powerful and violent force surging within the stone.

That power carried a primal sense of oppression; if not controlled properly, it would erupt with the power to destroy the world.

"How do I use this thing?" Ye Hui stared at the Chaos Stone, lost in thought, and was at a loss for what to do.

To simply forge it into a flying sword or magical artifact would be a complete waste.

Moreover, he is currently only a low-level cultivator, lacking both the skills to refine innate spiritual treasures and a furnace capable of withstanding the power of chaos, thus unable to realize the true value of the chaos stone.

I thought about it for a long time.

Ye Hui decided to put the Chaos Stone away safely first.

Once our weapon-refining skills improve or we find a suitable refining method, we can then properly plan the use of this treasure.

He looked at the overflowing rewards in his system space and couldn't help but smile.

The surprises from this ten-pull were far greater than he had imagined.

Not only did it solve the problem of alchemists advancing their ranks, but it also yielded valuable resources such as secret realm maps and chaos stones.

Even if you don't refine them, keeping Chaos Stones by your side can be very beneficial!

The subsequent training will undoubtedly go much more smoothly.

Looking at his gains in the system space, Ye Hui couldn't help but make calculations in his mind.

With these resources...

He felt he was on the verge of achieving immortality and marrying a beautiful and wealthy woman...

No, it's that we're one step closer to protecting Sakura and Tomoyo and living a happy, carefree life!
"I'll find a chance to open the secret realm tomorrow and take Sakura and Tomoyo to experience it. They can practice and see what resources are inside."

Ye Hui made up his mind and then relaxed, preparing to face the next day of school life.

Early the next morning.

Ye Hui arrived at school feeling refreshed.

After a night's rest, he fully digested the surprise of the ten consecutive draws.

As soon as I sat down, Tomoyo leaned over, her purple eyes filled with a curious smile: "Good morning, Ye-kun~ You seem to be in a great mood today, did something happy happen?"

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +5】

Ye Hui turned his head to look at her, and smiled mysteriously on purpose: "I guess so. After school today, I'll take you somewhere. I have a big treasure to show you and Xiaoying."

"big baby?"

Tomoyo's curiosity was instantly piqued, and she felt a sense of anticipation.

But she didn't press further, she just nodded gently, "Okay, then Sakura and I will look forward to the surprise after school."

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +7】

The morning classes ended quickly.

During lunch break.

Ye Hui found Xiao Ying, who was packing her books, and told her about the adventure he was going to take them on after school.

"An adventure? Really? Where are we going on an adventure?" Sakura's eyes lit up, and she immediately put down what she was holding and leaned close to Ye Hui to ask.

"It will be kept secret for now."

Ye Hui mimicked Zhi Shi's usual gentle demeanor, putting his index finger to his lips and making a "shh" gesture.

"Come with me after school, you'll see when we get there."

"Hey... Ye Zi, you're so stingy! You didn't even tell me!"

Sakura pouted and glared at him, feigning displeasure, but the anticipation in her eyes grew stronger.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +9]

Finally, the school bell rang, signaling the end of the school day.

Sakura was almost the first to rush out of the classroom, grabbing Ye Hui and Tomoyo's hands and running outside.

"Hurry, hurry! Let's go on an adventure! The sun will be setting soon!"

Seeing her eagerness, Ye Hui and Zhi Shi exchanged a smile and quickened their pace, following her lead.

The three of them soon arrived at a secluded grove of trees near the school.

This was a spot Ye Hui had chosen in advance. It was far from the main road and usually not many people came here, making it perfect for him to "cast his spell".

"Ye Zi, what are we doing here? There doesn't seem to be anything here except trees."

Sakura looked around curiously, her eyes filled with doubt, and couldn't help but reach out and touch the tree trunk next to her, then poked it.

Could the secret realm be hidden inside one of the trees?

Ye Hui cleared his throat: "I recently researched a new formation that can create a small, independent space. I've set up some mechanisms and puppets inside, which can be used for your practical training."

"Didn't you always say you wanted to practice using the Clow Cards more? It's safe here, and you don't have to worry about disturbing others."

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +8】

He deliberately described the random dungeons as training grounds he created.

There's no need to explain the origin of the secret realm, thus avoiding exposing the system's secrets, and it's also a logical way to lead them in to fight monsters and level up.

"Wow! Ye Zi, you're amazing!"

Sakura looked at Ye Hui with admiration and grabbed his arm tightly. "Shall we go in now? I can't wait to try the new training! Kero always makes me practice, but it can't practice with me! That guy, I feel like I don't even need magic, just hitting it with a magic wand and it's done for."

Sakura puffed out her cheeks.

Tomoyo also feigned surprise and said softly, "It's really surprising that Ye-kun can set up such a formation."

Ye Hui coughed lightly twice, feigning modesty: "Ahem, just so-so, third in the sect~"

It seems that Tomoyo doesn't completely believe it?
But it's okay, since Tomoyo is very understanding anyway.

He took out the incomplete map of the secret realm from his system inventory, laid it flat on the ground with great seriousness, and then gathered spiritual power at his fingertips, slowly injecting it into the map.

[You're putting on your acting show again! You clearly obtained the secret realm map by luck, yet you insist on disguising it as a formation you researched yourself. Such deception and manipulation of the Heavenly Spiritual Root disciples and protectors will surely be condemned by the Heavenly Dao!]

Ye Hui completely ignored the system's complaints.

As spiritual energy was continuously injected, the ancient runes on the map began to glow.

A pale blue light spread from the edge of the map, gradually coalescing into a semi-transparent portal in front of the three.

Tiny specks of light flickered at the edge of the portal, like flowing starlight, and a blurry scene could be vaguely seen behind the portal.

Although Sakura and Tomoyo were somewhat prepared, they still couldn't help but gasp in amazement at this incredible scene.

Sakura leaned closer to the portal, staring curiously at the scene behind it, her eyes filled with excitement.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +12]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +10】

"Alright, this is the trial ground I've prepared for you!"

Ye Hui put away the map and pointed to the portal, saying, "The environment and monsters inside were simulated by me using an array. There is some danger, but it is all within a controllable range. You can fight with peace of mind and don't need to worry about getting hurt."

Of course, this was just his judgment based on the ordinary secret realm, and the danger indicated by the system was automatically categorized by him as "attack by small monsters".

In cultivation-themed mini-games, this kind of dungeon prompt will remind players before each entry.

Moreover, this is an incomplete instance, and Ye Hui judged that there shouldn't be any overly terrifying monsters in it.

"Wow! There are more monsters?" Sakura wasn't scared at all; instead, she was even more excited. She tugged at Ye Hui's sleeve and asked, "What kind of monsters are they? Are they like the Shadow Cards? Or are they even more powerful?"

"Well... you'll see when you go in," Ye Hui said with a smile.

After all, the secret realm is randomly generated, and he doesn't know what's inside.
"Let's go in quickly! I can't wait to try it!" Sakura said, trying to pull Tomoyo towards the light gate.

Tomoyo smiled and pulled her back, taking out two neatly folded sets of clothes from her spatial ring: "Don't rush, I just happened to have designed a brand new 'Jungle Maze' series of combat suits, which will come in handy this time. Let's change into them first before going in, so it will be easier to move around that way."

As she spoke, she handed one of the sets to Sakura.

It was a short dress with a dark green main color and an irregular hem that revealed the calves when walking.

The skirt is adorned with light green leaf embroidery on the sides, while the neckline and cuffs are sewn with thin silver trim, retaining both girlish cuteness and a sense of neatness suitable for movement.

The set also includes a pair of brown ankle boots with zippers on the sides of the boot shaft for easy on and off, and a beret in the same color with a small leaf badge pinned to the brim.

Wow! So cute! This is so beautiful!

Sakura took the clothes, her eyes lit up instantly, and she couldn't wait to unpack them and put them on.

Now, she's not too shy about the various combat suits designed by Tomoyo, as long as they aren't too outrageous.

Tomoyo then took out another set of clothes from her bag, which she had specially prepared for Ye Hui.

She knew Ye Hui could directly conjure clothes, but Ye Hui would definitely not choose this cute style of clothing, so she specially designed a men's version of the same series.

This outfit echoes Sakura's style, with a dark green short vest over a white long-sleeved top, and matching cargo shorts with drawstring cuffs.

It's both convenient for movement and exudes a neat, youthful vibe.

The outfit also includes a pair of dark brown Martin boots, perfectly matching Sakura's "jungle style" and making her look quite cool and stylish.

"Ye-kun, this is for you." Tomoyo handed over the clothes, her purple eyes filled with expectant smiles.

Ye Hui looked at the clothes in his hand, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

It just seems so incongruous for a Golden Core cultivator to be wearing such a youthful outfit to fight monsters.

But seeing the undisguised expectation in Tomoyo's eyes, he silently accepted it, sighing inwardly.

Oh well, I'll just spoil them. What else can I do?
Besides, as long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who are embarrassed!

[Goho Daidoji Tomoyo highly praises your taste in clothing and has decided to design more combat outfits for you in the future! She believes that great strength also needs a magnificent appearance to complement it!]

Ye Hui: “…”

The three of them found a secluded spot behind some bushes, each using their spiritual power or magic to conceal their surroundings, and quickly changed into new clothes.

When Sakura, dressed in her new clothes, skipped and hopped out, Ye Hui couldn't help but admire her in his heart.

As expected of the original queen of cuteness, the dark green dress made her skin look even whiter, and the irregular hem of the dress revealed her slender calves when she walked. Paired with a beret, she looked just like an adorable little explorer!

"Kawaii~!"

Tomoyo immediately raised her camera and took several pictures of Sakura. The girl in the photos had a bright smile and looked exceptionally lively.

"Yes, Sakura looks really good in this outfit," Ye Hui praised with a smile.

Upon receiving their affirmation, Sakura blushed with joy and couldn't help but twirl around, her skirt billowing in a beautiful arc.

"Really? I also think this outfit is very comfortable and easy to run in!"

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +7]

Ye Hui had also changed his clothes. Although he still felt a little awkward, the two girls saw it as a completely different story.

The dark green vest made him look even taller, and the cargo shorts revealed his straight legs. Paired with Martin boots, he looked youthful and completely natural.

"Ye looks great in this outfit! You look like the protagonist in an adventure movie!" Xiaoying looked at him with bright eyes and exclaimed in admiration.

"Yeah, he has the air of an adventurer, which is perfect for this trial." Tomoyo nodded with a smile, then pointed her camera at Ye Hui to record the scene.

[Kinomoto Sakura's emotional value +10]

【Daodaiji Chiyo’s Emotion Value +9】

After being praised by the two girls, Ye Hui's slight awkwardness disappeared.

Okay, as long as it looks good, who cares if it looks out of place!

He's just a little kid now!
"Alright, we've changed our clothes, it's time for us to set off."

Ye Hui pointed to the light gate that was still emitting blue light not far away, and his tone became serious, "After you go in, stick close to me. No matter what happens, don't act alone, understand?"

"Hi!"

Sakura and Tomoyo answered in unison, nodding their heads repeatedly.

Ye Hui stepped into the portal first, and felt a slight dizziness as his body passed through it.

The next second, the scenery before my eyes changed rapidly, like a picture being crushed, and the scene completely changed.

When Ye Hui opened his eyes again, he found himself in a dense primeval forest.

The towering ancient tree is lush and leafy, with its thick branches intertwined and almost completely blocking out the sky.

Only scattered rays of sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, casting dappled, shimmering spots of light on the ground.

The style of this forest perfectly matches the jungle maze combat suit designed by Tomoyo.

Ye Hui could hardly help but suspect that this was the result of being influenced by fate.

"Is this the training ground you built, Ye? It looks so realistic!"

Sakura followed closely behind through the portal. As soon as she stood still, she couldn't help but look around curiously. She reached out and touched the rough texture of the tree trunk next to her. The texture was no different from that of real trees, and it didn't seem like an illusion at all.

Tomoyo also walked in. Faced with the scene before her, she was much calmer than Sakura, but her eyes held a hint of inquiry as she observed the surroundings and raised her camera.

Ye Hui was somewhat surprised by the scene before him.

He never expected that a tattered map could generate such a realistic miniature world, where even the humidity in the air and the fragrance of grass and trees could be clearly discerned.

The products produced by this idiotic system, while occasionally frustrating, are undeniably of high quality.

He immediately released his divine sense and scanned the surroundings, discovering that the forest contained the auras of many spirit beasts and demon beasts, but most of them were at the late stage of Qi Refining.

It shouldn't be too weak, making it unchallenging, nor too strong, putting them in any danger.

This is perfect for Sakura and Tomoyo to practice on.

nice!
I never expected to be so lucky!

"Yosh! The trial officially begins now!"

Ye Hui composed himself and his expression turned serious. "Sakura, Tomoyo, be vigilant and watch your surroundings. Spirit beasts may appear from any direction, so don't let your guard down."

"Hey!" The two girls immediately went into battle mode.

Sakura reached out and took the sealing key hanging around her neck.

Zhi Shi put away the camera, let his hands hang naturally at his sides, and observed the surrounding grass and trees with his eyes, ready to mobilize his spiritual power at any time.

Ye Hui led the two along a hidden path in the forest, slowly exploring deeper into the woods.

After walking only a few steps, a slight rustling sound came from the grass on the right, and the sound grew closer and closer.

"What is that!" Sakura reacted quickly, immediately pointing her wand towards the bushes.

next second.

A dark figure suddenly darted out of the bushes and pounced on the three of them.

It was a monster a fist's size larger than an ordinary wild boar, its entire body covered in short, jet-black fur, with two sharp tusks, each half a foot long, protruding from its mouth, covered in mud and weeds.

What's even more special is that its back and limbs are covered with a layer of rock-like carapace, which gleams with a cold, hard luster when the sunlight shines on it.

"It's a Rock-Armored Boar!" Ye Hui recognized the monster at a glance.

This is a very common type of monster found in beginner villages in cultivation games.

It has thick skin and flesh, and its attack power is also considerable.

It seems the monsters in this secret realm really are randomly generated from his game!

This is actually one of the reasons why he thinks the secret realm dungeon shouldn't be too outrageous.

Ye Hui did not make a move, but instead stepped back, leaving the battlefield to Sakura and Tomoyo.

These beginner-level monsters are perfect for training their teamwork and combat skills.

"Wind!" Sakura waved her wand, and with a crisp command, pale green wind chains appeared out of thin air, like flexible vines, instantly wrapping around the Rock Boar's limbs and body, binding it firmly in place.

"Roar!" The Rock-Armored Boar roared angrily, its thick limbs struggling and its massive body twisting and turning, trying to break free from the chains of wind.

The chains, pulled by its immense force, became increasingly taut, their surface gleaming dimmed, as if they might break at any moment.

"Zhi Shi, use water!" Ye Hui commanded at the opportune moment.

Sakura and Tomoyo didn't have much experience fighting monsters together, and the previous Clow Card adventures weren't really dangerous.

For now, he still has to act as a guide for the newbies, helping them to sort out their tactics.

"Hi!" Tomoyo's response was crisp and clear.

As soon as she finished speaking, she raised her fair right hand, her five fingers slightly spread.

A faint blue light quickly appeared in his palm, growing brighter and brighter until even the surrounding air seemed to shimmer with tiny water droplets.

She was channeling her spiritual energy to gather water vapor.

In just a few seconds, the water vapor condensed into a water ball the size of a basketball in the air above the Rock Armor Pig's head.

As Tomoyo moved her fingertips, the water sphere continued to grow, eventually becoming half a person's height. Rolling water droplets could be clearly seen on its surface, giving it a cool texture.

"Go!" Tomoyo shouted softly, flicking her wrist forward.

The enormous water sphere, accompanied by a "whoosh" of flowing water, shot through the air and crashed straight down towards the Rock Armored Pig.

The Rock-Armored Boar was bound by Sakura and unable to dodge, so it could only let the water ball hit its back.

"Oh!"

The water balloon exploded, splashing water everywhere. The Rock Armored Pig was completely drenched, its short black hair clinging tightly to its skin, revealing its gray-black rocky carapace underneath. The carapace was covered with a layer of water, and its original yellowish-brown luster had faded considerably.

A little dazed by the impact, it shook its head, and the water droplets it shook off hit the ground with a crackling sound. Its previously frantic movements noticeably slowed down.

“Good opportunity, Sakura, you can use the Thunder Card.” Ye Hui’s voice rang out at the right time.

When the rock-armored boar's carapace is soaked in water, it becomes a conductor, and at this point, the thunderbolt can exert its maximum power.

Sakura immediately realized what was happening, gripped her wand tightly in her right hand, took a small step forward, and pointed the wand at the Rock Boar.

She took a deep breath, her clear voice carrying a hint of determination: "Thunder!"

The moment the words left his mouth, the beak at the tip of the wand suddenly emitted a blinding white light.

Immediately afterwards, a startling "snap" sounded.

A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm shot out from the gem!

The lightning bolt, pure white and crackling with electricity, streaked across the air, striking the rock-armored boar precisely on the back.

"boom!"

The lightning struck the carapace and exploded, the white current spreading along the damp short fur and carapace. The rock-armored boar's massive body trembled violently, and its four legs involuntarily retracted.

It opened its mouth and let out a shrill howl, a sound so sharp it hurt the ears. Its body convulsed violently twice, and its previously upright back slowly collapsed.

Finally, with a "thud," it fell straight to the ground, its limbs twitching slightly before it became motionless.

Sakura hadn't lowered her wand yet. She stared at the Rock Boar for a few seconds before whispering, "It...it's not moving?"

Ye Hui stepped forward, squatted down, and looked at the Rock Armored Boar's eyes; its pupils were already dilated.

Wisps of blue smoke rose from the surface of the rock-armored boar's carapace. The smoke was thin and floated upwards for a while before dissipating.

A faint smell of burning gradually filled the air, mixed with the damp smell of evaporating water vapor.

Tomoyo also walked over, put away the light blue spiritual power in her palm, looked at the Rock Armored Boar on the ground, and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sakura is amazing."

Sakura chuckled and couldn't help but take another look at the Rock Armored Boar.

The power of that lightning bolt was greater than she had imagined; the area on her carapace that was struck even showed signs of charring.

"We...we succeeded?" Sakura asked in surprise.

This was the first time she had teamed up with Zhi Shi to defeat this seemingly powerful monster without Ye Hui's direct help.

"You guys cooperated very well, reacted quickly, and your tactics were very coordinated." Ye Hui stepped forward, praising with a smile, his gaze falling on the Rock Armored Boar lying on the ground.

At this moment, a surprising scene happened.

The dead rock-armored boar suddenly emitted a faint white light.

The white light grew brighter and brighter, enveloping the entire body of the rock-armored pig.

A few seconds later, the white light dissipated, and the Rock-Armored Boar's body vanished without a trace, leaving only a half-foot-long tusk in its place.

The fangs had a warm, lustrous sheen and a subtle metallic texture.

"Huh? How did it disappear?" Sakura walked forward curiously, bent down and picked up the fang. It was heavy in her hand and had a hard and smooth feel.

"What is this?"

"These are the spoils of war after defeating the monster."

Ye Hui explained, "I've set up a reward system in this training ground. As long as you successfully defeat these monsters and spirit beasts, there's a certain chance that materials will drop. These materials are very useful and can be used to craft weapons or armor."

—After all, the monsters are randomly generated from the cultivation game, so the reward mechanism naturally follows the game's settings.

"Wow! There's a reward too!" Sakura's eyes lit up instantly, and she looked at the fang in her hand as if it were a treasure.

Fight monsters, level up, and get equipment.

This setup gave her the feeling of playing a game.

"What can those fangs do? They look really powerful."

"The tusks of the Rock-Armored Boar are very hard, making them excellent materials for weapon forging."

Ye Hui patiently explained, "It can be used to forge weapons such as daggers and short blades, or it can be refined and inlaid into armor to enhance its defensive capabilities."

"If we hunt a few more Rock-Armored Boars, will we be able to gather enough materials to craft a really powerful set of equipment?"

Sakura's eyes sparkled with anticipation, and her tone was excited, as if she had discovered a treasure.

Seeing her excited expression, Ye Hui couldn't help but laugh: "Theoretically, that's true. But you should be careful, there are more than just Rock-Armored Boars in this secret realm."

"The deeper you go into the forest, the more powerful the monsters you will encounter, and the rarer the materials that will drop, but the level of danger will also increase."

"Okay! We understand! We'll be careful!" Sakura nodded emphatically.

The victory in their first battle filled both her and Tomoyo with confidence.

The two packed their things and followed closely behind Ye Hui, continuing their exploration deeper into the forest.
