Goddess Painting

Qin Feng hid in the shadows of the crowd, his brows furrowing suddenly on his disguised, sallow face!

A cold and aloof figure was reflected in his pupils!

Not far away, Lin Yuyan was surrounded by a group of young people in the center.

Today she wore an ice-blue, wide-sleeved, flowing fairy dress with intricate silver cloud patterns embroidered on the neckline. Her figure was accentuated by the cinched waist, making her appear even more exquisite, yet also more aloof and unapproachable!

It's so cold!

Beside her, four or five elegantly dressed and sophisticated young men were trying their best to curry favor with her.

"Yu Yan, the environment in this Earthfall Secret Realm is harsh. When we enter the instance later, you must come with us!"

"That's right! With the combined efforts of several of us, we can protect you and help you escape even if you encounter a late-stage Divine Power Realm demon beast. You'll be absolutely safe!"

"If we find any rare and precious treasures later, Yu Yan, you can choose first. Anyone who dares to object, I'll chop them up!"

Lin Yuyan raised her chin slightly, a hint of smugness gleaming in her cold, arrogant eyes.

Thank you.

Qin Feng couldn't help but sigh when he saw this scene.

This saintess's disciple is indeed quite popular.

In addition to Lin Yuyan's stunning beauty, there must be quite a few people in the sect who are pursuing her!

Only then did he realize that Lin Yuyan also possessed the Divine Power Realm!

When did you break through?

If he remembered correctly, when he got married more than ten days ago, the Lin Yuyan he saw was only in the Newborn Realm.

He squinted, his mind racing.

Yes!

Although the Lin family is not as wealthy as the Li family, Lin Yi has now become the sect leader's personal disciple, so he doesn't have to worry about cultivation resources at all.

Lin Zhengnan must have poured all his resources into this precious daughter, right?

Wow! They're really going all out!

Om-!

Just then, the stone platform at the entrance to the secret realm suddenly shone brightly, with a pillar of light shooting straight into the sky!

The violent fluctuations of spiritual energy caused the surrounding vegetation to rustle!

This is a sign that the Earthfall Secret Realm is about to open!

An elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, exuding a restrained aura, appeared out of thin air on the stone platform.

His cloudy yet sharp eyes swept across the room, his voice like muffled thunder:

"The Earthfall Secret Realm is formed from fragments of an ancient abyss!"

"There are no mountains, no water here! Only a bottomless, crisscrossing underground labyrinth!"

"Teleported into the first level, the underground chambers descend layer by layer, resembling an inverted tower! Countless passages and branching paths like a spider web make it extremely easy to lose one's way!"

The elder's tone suddenly turned stern:

"You may only move about in the first and second levels of the underground cave!"

"Although the rock walls in the cave can be destroyed, they are made of abyssal magnetite, a material of peculiar nature! Even a divine power realm expert would find it difficult to penetrate them. Unless absolutely necessary, don't even think about forcing your way through!"

The elder's gaze swept across everyone's faces, revealing a chilling aura:

"From the third level onwards, Enlightenment Realm monsters roam everywhere! If you want to live, don't go looking for your death!"

"No disciple at the Divine Power Realm who has dared to enter the third level in previous years has ever survived!"

After explaining the general situation of the Fallen Realm, the elder instructed his servants to distribute the necessary items for entering the realm.

"Everyone, use your Secret Realm Token to collect your items. Don't try to take advantage of the situation!"

Qin Feng mingled in the crowd and received a white paper lantern and a yellowed map.

This lantern is powered by spiritual energy and can illuminate an area of ​​three zhang (approximately 10 meters) around it.

There is absolutely no natural light source in the Earthfall Secret Realm, so this lantern is essential.

And maps are even more so.

The passageways in this Earthfall Secret Realm are crisscrossed, and without a map, it's too easy to get lost; it's practically impossible to move an inch.

Qin Feng carefully examined the map and found that it clearly marked the specific routes of the first and second levels of the cave, as well as the possible distribution of monsters and spiritual herbs.

"Trust the lights and maps you possess! But rely even more on your own caution and strength!"

"After fifteen days, return via the same route!"

"The Earthfall Secret Realm opens—!!"

With a loud shout from the elder, dozens of disciples surged into the white light like a swarm of locusts crossing a river!

Qin Feng took a step, and as soon as he stepped in, he felt a dizzying sensation!

The white light dissipated.

black!

It was an extreme, suffocating, deathly black!

With a "whoosh," the spirit lamp floating beside him spontaneously ignited a faint flame, illuminating an area of ​​three zhang in radius.

The air was filled with a damp, musty, and fishy stench.

Qin Feng unfolded the map, scanned it by the firelight, and lightly pressed his fingertip on three characters.

Mushroom!

This third-tier spiritual herb is extremely poisonous; it can be used to refine poison pills or eaten raw.

Although it can strengthen the bones and meridians, increase cultivation efficiency, and improve realm, ordinary cultivators will die if they touch it, so who would dare to touch it?

But for someone like me with a poisonous spiritual root...

That's simply the most exquisite natural treasure in the world!

"Are there ghost rats living near this Yin Marrow Mushroom?"

Qin Feng smiled.

"It's just a demonic beast at the Body Tempering Realm."

"Let's go take a look!"

He moved with lightning speed, traversing the labyrinthine caves along the map.

Along the way, he heard screams and sounds of fighting not far away, but he didn't even lift his eyelids.

As long as you don't mess with me, what's it to me?

Soon, the fishy stench in the air grew stronger and stronger.

We've arrived!

The flame of the spirit lamp flickered slightly.

What came into view was a dense array of red dots!

Devil-toothed Rat!

These beasts, though small in size, had a pair of exaggeratedly large fangs, their bodies covered in needle-like black hair, and their blood-red eyes were particularly eerie in the darkness!

More than thirty?

Qin Feng's heart sank.

Even if it's just a demon beast at the Body Tempering Realm.

But such a large number is also a problem.

Moreover, if it attracts even more rats, that would be a huge problem!

Just as he was preparing to find a way to end the battle quickly.

boom!

A powerful and domineering axe wind suddenly shot out from the side road!

"You beast, die!!"

A burly man, as tall as half an iron tower, swung a broad-bladed axe and swept away a swarm of rats in front of him!

Immediately afterwards, a man and a woman rushed out, their long swords flashing like serpents emerging from their holes, their light constantly flickering in the darkness.

Puff puff!

Before the ghost-toothed rats that had been thrown into the air could even land, they were pierced by the sword light, and their blood bloomed in the air like tragic flowers!

The coordination was flawless!

Qin Feng narrowed his eyes, his heart pounding.

Are these three also looking for the Yin Marrow Mushroom?

He was just about to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"Junior brother, please wait!"

The burly man suddenly turned his head, his gaze sharp as lightning, and locked onto Qin Feng's location!

Qin Feng paused, his muscles tensing, his sallow face showing no emotion.

"My name is Zhao Mang, and these two are Sun Ping and Li Rui."

The burly man wiped the blood from his face, his gaze lingering for a moment on Qin Feng's newly acquired cultivation level, his brows furrowing slightly.

"How should I address you, junior brother?"

"Huangyan".

Qin Feng lowered his voice, his voice hoarse as if he were sanding sandpaper.

"Fellow Daoist Huang, you have quite the courage!"

The woman named Sun Ping sheathed her longsword and looked Qin Feng up and down with amusement.

"Entering the Earthquake Realm from the Newborn Realm? Their family connections must be really strong!"

Li Rui snorted coldly, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at Qin Feng:

"Senior Brother Zhao, why are you bringing along a useless newbie? He's a burden!"

"Shut up!"

Zhao Mang glared at Li Rui, then turned to Qin Feng, his tone sincere:

"Junior Brother Huang, please don't mind. I noticed you remained calm and collected when you encountered the swarm of rats; you must have real skills!"

"To be honest, we have a more detailed map and know of a hidden place where there's plenty of Shadow Mushrooms!"
