After the main character who took the blame retired, the female lead quit.

Everyone was focused on their work and no one paid any attention to Xiao Yu.

He had no choice but to step forward and find out the situation himself.

Passing by the glutinous rice balls who were watching the show, Xiao Yu walked closer and took a look. Ah... it was an acquaintance, the eldest brother of the men in black who had led the group in the dilapidated temple at the beginning.

However, his situation is not so good now, as his mouth is stuffed full of all kinds of elixirs and medicines.

Her belly had also swelled up.

It was overflowing with spiritual energy, and looked extremely painful.

Seeing Xiao Yu's confusion, Bu Suantian, who had been huddled to the side watching the whole thing, explained while holding Sanhua:

"Sister Heisha is feeding that person pills, saying she hopes he can quickly break through the Foundation Establishment Realm threshold and reach the Core Formation Realm, so that tomorrow they can gather five people to form a team and directly register for the secret realm. However, whether it will be effective or not, we don't know."

After Bu Suantian said that, Xiao Yu realized that it seemed that a minimum of five people were required to participate in the secret realm.

Currently, Xiao Yu is one, Feng Ling is another, and the girl in black robes is yet to be found; there are still two more missing.

The black-clad man currently being held down is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, while the others beside him are in the early-Foundation Establishment stage. No wonder the black-robed girl chose to start with him.

"If that's the case, aren't we still one short?"

Having figured this out, Xiao Yu glanced around and his gaze landed on the few black-clad henchmen standing nearby, his meaning clear.

Why not just pour another one?

Upon hearing this, the men in black who were pressing down on the person all trembled and looked at Xiao Yu with fear in their eyes.

Do you want to listen to what you're saying?

Are you the devil?!

Fortunately, Bu Suantian, who was acting as the commentator, did her job well. She continued:

"No need for that. Sister Fengling said that the strange masked man living in the house next door seems to be a rogue cultivator who also plans to explore the secret realm."

"Perhaps we could try to win them over, even if it's a last resort. After all, with the start date approaching, most of the independent cultivators have either joined sects or already left in anger. Finding one won't be easy, but judging from the news we just received, it shouldn't be a problem."

"Is that so? That's fine too."

Xiao Yu nodded. Is there only one person missing now?

Tomorrow is the last day to register.

No wonder the girl in black robes was in such a hurry, but... would this really work? Although the girl in black robes had initially planned to break through to the Nascent Soul Realm in this way as well.

Xiao Yu looked at the black-clad underlings being frantically fed pills and felt uneasy. Improving one's cultivation level was something that could be done overnight. If it were that easy to improve, the cultivation world would be full of Nascent Soul cultivators and Golden Core cultivators would be as common as dogs.

This moment demonstrates the power of Li Yunshang's Nine-Spirit Aperture Body. As long as she has enough spirit stones and pills, and her comprehension of the Great Dao is successful, it is not impossible for her to reach the Nascent Soul stage within a month.

Unfortunately, judging from the condition of the black-clad underling who was being held down, he did not have a physique similar to Li Yunshang's Nine-Spirit Aperture Body. He could only obediently suffer and use the spiritual root in his dantian to refine this vast spiritual energy again and again.

Breaking through to the Core Formation Realm before tomorrow morning is not hopeless, but the probability is very low.

We can only take this one step at a time and see. There's still a morning to go tomorrow. What if the black-clad henchman unleashes his full power and breaks through in one go during that time?

"By the way, how's the sect's situation? You guys got back pretty quickly. Could you send it over before registering for the secret realm tomorrow?"

Thinking of this, Xiao Yu turned to look at their Moon Shadow Sect's sect leader and asked.

All that running around was for this; if it didn't pass, it would all be for nothing. But judging from the black-robed girl's demeanor, she must have passed.

However, just in case, Xiao Yu should still confirm it.

"No problem. Sister Fengling also said that the letter of introduction you sent was very helpful and the expected effect was much better. The Immortal Sect Alliance replied very quickly, so I came back ahead of schedule. The sect tokens and such should be delivered before noon tomorrow."

Bu Suantian nodded and spoke in a serious tone, vaguely displaying the demeanor of a sect leader. After speaking, he continued to stuff a piece of pastry into his mouth, eating it little by little, as if he cherished it.

The effect is much better...

How could the effect not be good?

On this trip, Xiao Yu almost lost his life there.

First it was Long Wanyan, then Li Yunshang. If we run into them when we enter the secret realm, there will be no shortage of trouble.

Fortunately, the only saving grace is that Long Wanyan, as the leader of a sect, is only at the Nascent Soul stage and cannot enter the secret realm.

Bu Suantian kept eating. Ever since Xiao Yu entered the room, he had been watching her eat. It seemed that besides being timid and afraid of trouble, she was also a little foodie.

Seeing this, Xiao Yu also took a piece from the pastry box in front of her, put it in his mouth and took a small bite, savoring it carefully, wondering what it was that fascinated her so much.

Ok……

It's sweet and crispy, with a very good taste.

It's Golden Silk Dew Cake. Xiao Yu brought some back for Bai Yan when he returned to the island before. Of course... it's so expensive, it definitely wasn't bought by Xiao Yu. It was taken from Dao's room.

No wonder Bu Suantian is so addicted to this little glutinous rice ball; one piece of pastry is worth a top-grade spirit stone!

Pastries are made with expensive ingredients and are considered to be semi-spiritual. They can nourish the body, calm the mind and soul, and eating more of them is very beneficial to the body, even for mortals.

For fortune tellers like Bu Suantian, who expend a lot of brainpower, it is an excellent remedy.

But where did these little glutinous rice balls come from?

The nearby Fengqiu Secret Realm doesn't sell them.

Chapter 84, In the dead of night, nothing good ever comes of it.

"Where did you get this pastry? It's quite valuable; you can't buy it around here."

After finishing the pastries in two or three bites, Xiao Yu took one or two more pieces and asked a question while eating.

The little glutinous rice ball stared wide-eyed at the few pastries in the pastry box. Its cherry-red lips parted slightly, as if it were counting how many were left. Its pleading look was incredibly endearing.

This made Xiao Yu, who was planning to take a few more to try, stop himself.

"Oh... um... you mean this? I forgot to tell you. This is a small gift from a woman upstairs. She said she had arranged to meet you and come upstairs to talk."

She swallowed the last piece in her mouth, counted the remaining pieces in the box, closed her mouth, and stared intently at the contents, as if trying to quench her thirst by looking at the plums.

Waaaaah... Just now, Xiao Yu took away the last piece that belonged to her. There weren't many pastries in the box. Besides Bu Suantian and Xiao Yu, a few pieces also had to be left for Feng Ling, so everyone's share of pastries was limited.

After all, such good things should be shared, not kept to oneself.

Bu Suantian didn't eat much. After the girl in the black robe tasted a piece, she found it too sweet and gave her share to Bu Suantian. She felt that it was better to eat poison.

Well, I guess it's true that he has the Five Elements Poison Body, feeding on poisonous things.

Bu Suantian didn't have her magnanimity. She had always lived deep in the mountains and usually ate wild game that she hunted. She didn't eat such delicious pastries often. The only time she ate them was when someone came to the mountains to have their fortune told and brought her a box of them.

She hasn't been able to eat there since. This is the first time she's seen such a generous guest. If that person had come to her for fortune-telling again, she might have been able to eat there again.

!

and many more!

She remembered; the one who brought the pastries seemed to be the master of Wanyun Pavilion.

Well... it seems I won't be able to eat it anymore.

Slightly regretful, Bu Suantian gave Xiao Yu a resentful look, then took out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to Xiao Yu.

"These are the things she left behind. She said you'll understand once you see them."

envelope?

Discarding the idea of ​​taking more pastries, Xiao Yu wiped his hands, took the envelope, opened it, and took out its contents.

Surprisingly.

This is a piece of slightly thick and stiff white paper.

Blank paper?

What the hell is going on?!

This isn't some kind of suspense novel, why would it include a riddle-solving element?

What Phantom Thief Kid...

Looking at the item in his hand, Xiao Yu thought to himself, "What is this?"

He thought carefully about the women he had met outside of his marriage.

He didn't know many women from the outside world. If he counted carefully, there were only Bu Suantian, Li Yunshang, Long Wanyan, and the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm, plus that fox demon.

He doesn't seem like the type to do something like this, so it must be some other woman he doesn't know.

But... when did he make an appointment with someone he didn't know?

Xiao Yu was puzzled.

After closing and putting away the pastry box, Bu Suantian approached curiously. Upon discovering that it was just a blank sheet of paper, he showed the same disappointed expression as Xiao Yu.

Clearly, even this fortune teller couldn't understand the meaning behind this blank sheet of paper.

Xiao Yu clicked his tongue in amazement. He ran his hand over the smooth surface of the white paper and found no particularly noticeable bumps or patterns.

Suddenly, at that moment, something in my arms trembled for no reason.

This is……

Xiao Yu's expression hardened, a hint of surprise flashing across his face, but he quickly concealed it.

"Playing tricks, Xiao... cough cough, Ye Ba, I suggest you don't go to that so-called invitation. Nowadays, the Phoenix Hill Secret Realm is full of all sorts of people, so it's better to be safe first. Judging from her appearance, she's not a good person. This matter is not simple."

After examining it closely, she still couldn't figure it out. Bu Suantian shrank back and then gave her advice with a serious expression.

"You even know how to read faces?!"

"Of course, this is a fundamental skill." When it comes to the field of divination, Bu Suantian proudly puffed out her not-so-large chest, seemingly quite confident in this area.

Looking at the confident little glutinous rice ball, Xiao Yu felt a little amused and said:

"If that's the case, didn't you enjoy the food she sent? If she's not a good person, aren't you afraid she might have poisoned the pastries?"

Upon hearing this, Bu Suantian's face froze for a moment, seemingly unaware of this point. She quickly regained her composure, waved her hand with a slightly flustered expression, and began to explain:

"Well... that's something that was delivered, so why not eat it? Besides, a small gift and a promise to visit are two different things. And if it was poisoned, you still ate it, and you even ate an extra piece of mine. If someone's going to die, you'll definitely be the first one to die."
