Junior Sister must ascend this time!

Yun Qing jumped down not for any other reason, but because she had suddenly sensed something in her mind that was exactly the same as when she tried to contact the fragments before.

Therefore, there must be fragments of the guiding array at the bottom of this stream.

No wonder there are fifth-tier demonic beasts at the boundary between the inner and outer areas. It turns out that the spiritual energy here is relatively rich, which has caused the cultivation of the eight-tailed mud stag living at the bottom of this water to improve rapidly.

Yun Qing used her divine sense to slowly perceive the area and quickly found another fragment of the guiding array. She also picked up an aquatic spiritual plant nearby.

As she swam back, she found Su Han still struggling there, so she gave him a push, thinking, "What a useless guy."

Upon seeing the movement on the water, the two disciples of the Immortal Alliance on the shore immediately jumped in and grabbed their senior brother.

Seeing this, Jiang Mian also went into the water and pulled Yun Qing up. "Junior Sister, someone like that is better off dead. Why did you save him? Besides, he has two junior brothers. Don't take such risks next time."

Pei Shubai used a drying technique on her, "Yes, junior sister, if you really can't bear it, just let us go."

Yun Qing smiled at them. "Who said I went to save him?"

She took out the aquatic plant she had just plucked. "I went into the water because I saw this. This is a water spirit ginseng, which can be used to refine pills. Saving him was just a side thing."

Jiang Mian and Pei Shubai nodded in relief.

Yun Qing peeked at Su Han and, seeing that he had recovered, pulled Si Mingche aside to ask for a reward.

Si Mingche was an expert in this area. He walked up to Su Han, fanning himself, and said, "My junior sister just jumped into the water to save you without regard for her own safety. How are you going to repay her?"

Su Han frowned. He remembered that scene clearly; her back view was too ruthless!

"She clearly went to find spiritual plants, so why is she asking me for payment?"

Si Mingche snapped his fan shut and slammed it down on his hand. "She gave you a push at a crucial moment, we all saw it, you're not going to deny it, are you?"

Regardless of how they were saved, just tell me whether they were saved or not?

Su Han was speechless again. He just couldn't understand why he had no way to express his suffering whenever he encountered someone from the Cheng Tian Sect.

Yun Qing reverted to her delicate and frail persona, coughed a few times, and leaned against Si Mingche. "Third Senior Brother, cough... cough cough cough... since he won't admit it, let's just forget about it. Consider it as my sincere feelings being wasted on a dog, cough cough..."

Seeing this, Lu Xingzhou also walked over, put his hands on his hips and looked at Su Han, "Junior Sister Yun Qing is already frail and sickly, but she still jumped into the water to save you despite her own health, and instead of thanking you, you won't even admit it."

"Are you even a man?! I'm ashamed of you!"

Su Han: ...Who are you calling frail and sickly? Yun Qing? She could kick me two miles away!

Do the people of the Seven Sects have a misunderstanding about the term "weak and sickly"?

Surrounded by enemies, what could Su Han possibly say? He reluctantly said to Yun Qing, "Thank you for saving my life, Junior Sister Yun Qing, but my storage ring has been confiscated. As for the reward, perhaps..."

Yun Qing immediately stood up straight. "It's okay! You can give me an IOU! I don't need much, 500,000 spirit stones will be enough."

Su Han's eyes widened. "Take more? You said take less?!"

"Five hundred thousand." Yun Qing held up five fingers. "Senior Brother Su Han doesn't think his life isn't worth five hundred thousand, does he?"

Su Han: ………

"Fine!" he said through gritted teeth, "I'll give it to you once we're out of the secret realm!"

I really hope these 500,000 spirit stones can kill you!

The elders outside the light screen breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their disciples again.

Only Elder Hu's expression was not good. Did Su Han actually bring the item out or not? Why waste words with those sects? Why not just eliminate them all?

When he saw Su Han being forced to write an IOU by several members of the Chengtian Sect, his face turned green.

Mingyuan glanced back casually, then was startled. "Elder Hu... Elder Hu, are you poisoned? Why is your face so green?"

Elder Hu's beard bristled with anger. He scoffed, "That disciple named Yun Qing did save Su Han, that's true, but isn't mutual assistance among cultivators a given? Is it appropriate for your Cheng Tian Sect to charge a reward like this?"

Mingyuan pondered for a moment and said, "It's definitely not appropriate. I'll talk to her about it when we get back!"

"She saved the lives of Immortal Alliance disciples, how can she only accept 500,000 spirit stones? That's too little!"

He reached out and grasped Elder Hu's hand. "Elder Hu is so thoughtful. He knew he couldn't let Yun Qing's heart be broken by her efforts to save people, so he wanted to give her more. I thank you on behalf of this child."

Elder Hu quickly pulled his hand away, took out a handkerchief, and wiped it several times. How could someone be so shameless? Was that what he meant?

Mingyuan didn't feel embarrassed at all. He stretched out his hand again, palm up, "Yun Qing is not available right now, so I, her master, will accept it for her. Elder Hu doesn't need to give too much, another 500,000 spirit stones will be enough."

He ignored Elder Hu's disgusted expression and continued to laugh, "Elder Hu truly lives up to his title as a steward elder of the Immortal Alliance. His manners are impeccable; he even remembers to wipe his hands before giving spirit stones to others."

Elder Hu didn't want to get entangled with such a shameless person. He snorted, tossed a storage bag to Mingyuan, and then turned around and closed his eyes to meditate.

Chengtian Sect should just be renamed Bandit Sect!

Yun Qing had extorted what she could, and then left with Pei Shubai and the others. They were still some distance from first place, and they were in a hurry to go and kill some monsters.

Lu Xingzhou also wanted to go, but Shen Qingchen pulled him back, saying, "If you really want to go to Chengtian Sect, I can plead with the sect leader to let you leave Jinyu Sect."

Lu Xingzhou thought about it seriously for a moment, then turned his head and said, "It's not impossible. Do you think the requirements for joining the Chengtian Sect are strict?"

Then... he received a "loving" beating from his senior brother.

Gu Changfeng watched from the side, grimacing in disgust. "So ruthless!" he thought. Then he dusted himself off and left. He missed his junior brothers and sisters. *sobs*

Si Mingche took out a map, looked at it for a long time, and then gave up. It was drawn very well, but he couldn't tell the directions.

He turned to Yun Qing and asked, "Junior Sister, where are we going now?"

Pei Shubai snatched the map from his hand. "Where did you get this map?"

Si Mingche grinned mischievously, "I stole it from my good brother Lu Xingzhou... no, I took it from him."

Pei Shubai glanced at him. "You two have developed feelings for each other while fighting, huh?"

Jiang Mian muttered from behind, "That's called birds of a feather flock together."

"Jiang Mian!"

Si Mingche chased Jiang Mian all over the place again.

Cen Ning skillfully pulled out three chairs, and the three of them sat down, munching on spirit fruits while discussing their next move.

Yun Qing suggested, "Second Senior Sister, I think we could add a massage function to this chair next time."

Cen Ning chewed for a moment, then said, "I think it's a good idea."

Pei Shubai chewed and chewed, "So which direction should we go next? The map shows a place in the southwest where second-tier monsters gather."

Yun Qing chewed and chewed, "No, let's do something big."
