The entire sect is obsessed with love, but I'm the only one who's truly insane.

There's something down there.

Before the water mirror, Ju Yuan said softly, "There is a high possibility that there are city ruins."

They knew a little about that secret realm. Apart from the desert, the rest of the place had been explored to a great extent. There were a few ancient bloodline spirit beasts and carnivorous spirit plants that were dangerous inside. However, due to the suppression of the realm by the collapse of the Heavenly Dao rules, it was not difficult for these things to escape as long as they did not go berserk. The casualty rate was not high. Otherwise, they would not have sent in all the newly entered disciples.

But now it seems that everything is uncertain.

"If Lin Du were smart, she should have brought the other disciples along. I'm afraid she couldn't excavate such a large area of ​​ruins on her own."

One of the monks spoke up.

But they soon discovered that the child was clearly not bright.

The child not only didn't call out to anyone, but also walked alone to the spot where the sand had melted away, squatted down, and started writing and drawing on the sand with the handle of a fan.

Lin Du painted the trajectory structure that was the first to dissolve.

After she finished drawing, she pondered for a long time but couldn't figure out what it was, so she started to take out her tools.

In summer, even pills that have not been refined to perfection will quickly explode when infused with a little bit of decomposing spiritual energy, with an effect even better than landmines.

Eight loud bangs followed one after another, raising dust and smoke. This not only startled Ni Si and Li Dong, who hadn't gone far, but also frightened everyone in front of the water mirror.

Amidst the dust and sand, the pale blue figure stood steadily to one side.

After the final loud bang, Lin Du's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he whispered, "Trapped."

With that soft thud, the sand trembled violently, and then the quicksand sank in, revealing a deep pit three zhang deep, but it was still just a vast expanse of sand.

"So deep?"

Lin Du frowned.

That shouldn't be the case. She stood lightly beside the deep pit, as if she were about to fall in at any moment.

"Is Lin Du really that reckless?"

The elders ignored their young disciples who were out there battling wits with the monsters in the forest and focused their attention on the enormous crater visible to the naked eye in the desert.

This blitzkrieg tactic of going on the offensive at the drop of a hat... why does it seem so familiar?

With a loud rumble, another explosion occurred, but unlike the one on the sand, it only sent up mud and rocks. Then, a girl in an apricot-pink dress emerged from the sand.

Unlike Lin Du, who was completely untouched by dirt, she was covered in ash, looking like a lion cat that had secretly run out and rolled around in the mud.

Those big eyes blinked, seemingly a little lost.

Elders: ...If I remember correctly, this thing also belongs to the Supreme Sect, right? The ninety-ninth place on the Azure Cloud Ranking, it must be this little girl, right?

"Look, that little girl is holding a Heavenly Grade Spiritual Plant, the Five-Colored Stone Flower."

……

"As expected of a disciple of the Supreme Sect, hahaha."

"Truly a remarkable young talent from Zhongzhou, truly extraordinary."

The elders quickly began to praise it, knowing that the Five-Colored Stone Flower was extremely rare; only one person had managed to obtain one at the very beginning on the map.

Moreover, this thing lives deep in a cave, which is rugged and intricate, with hundreds or even thousands of stone paths intersecting each other. A slight mistake can lead to death. There are also bloodthirsty bats and demonic snakes inside, making it one of the most dangerous places.

Many people have gotten lost there and never made it out.

But it is clear that the disciples of the Supreme Sect use very simple and brutal methods.

If you can't find a way out, then blast one out.

Thunderbolts are not easy to obtain; they are the last resort for survival. Explosive talismans are the same; they are not common. Only the wealthy spendthrifts of the Supreme Sect can throw away so many without batting an eye.

No one expected that what they threw away was just a discarded pill containing explosive fire elemental power because the disciple's strange fire could not be contained.

When yet another explosion site appeared, the elders had become somewhat numb.

"Is it another disciple of the Supreme Sect?"

Ju Yuan coughed. "Perhaps not."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure in black gold appeared from the dust, followed closely by a pair of yellow dragon horns that struck the boy's lower back.

Ju Yuan: ...Oh, it really is his family's.

Yuan Ye, that descendant of the royal family.

The boy was hit by something resembling a dragon horn, cried out in pain, and flew into the sky, shouting something loudly.

Ju Yuan raised his hand and pressed his temples. Fortunately, his Heavenly Eye could not hear anything.

He really didn't think the child could say anything nice.

And his lower back was also a little sore.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you, you old ox! Was it because my playing of the xiqin wasn't good enough? Didn't you say you'd only give me a bead if I played the right tune? Did I play it wrong?"

Upon hearing this, the spirit beast snorted and charged forward again.

Yuan Ye clutched his back and nimbly turned in mid-air, then leaped onto a boulder. Seeing that the bull was about to charge at him again, he had no choice but to continue running forward.

"Even if I didn't do a good job, you don't have to push me like that!"

"Hey, even bumping my butt isn't allowed!"

Yuan Ye shouted loudly while dodging, looking disheveled, but his expression showed no anxiety or urgency.

"That's... a dragon-snake with the bloodline of Qiuniu?" An elder recognized it amidst the chaos.

It has a yellow horn, a bull's head, a snake's body, and four legs. It has not fully transformed into a dragon, but you can still see that it has the bloodline of a dragon's son.

Logically speaking, spirit beasts with the bloodline of Qiuniu should be gentle, love music, and not be violent, so they would never harm people.

In this secret realm, a dragon-snake with the bloodline of Qiuniu guards a spiritual stream. The stream murmurs, and the birds sing melodiously in the forest, creating a perfect natural symphony.

"The disciples of the Supreme Sect really don't follow the usual path."

Ju Yuan listened to the elders' discussion and managed to maintain a forced smile.

That wasn't his personal disciple, but he vaguely remembered that the child had taken out a zither from the treasure pavilion. The child's master was Cang Li, who was proficient in music and could be considered a half-music cultivator.

A royal descendant protected by dragon energy should have the highest affinity with the dragon bloodline of spirit beasts. The most benevolent bloodline among the dragons is the Qiuniu bloodline, which is also fond of music.

Even with triple friendliness buffs, Yuan Ye was still able to drive this dragon-snake into a frenzy, which, to some extent, is a skill in itself.

The dragon and snake relentlessly pursued the boy, who kept fleeing.

Ju Yuan quickly realized that Yuan Ye had been keeping the dragon-snake dangling at a distance where it could easily pounce and touch him, but he hadn't actually let it attack him.

"Yan Qing! Are you fucking done yet! I told you to fish for pearls, not fish!" Yuan Ye, seeing that he was almost exhausted and the spirit snake was becoming more and more violent, roared while holding his disciple token.

"Alright, alright! This spirit beast has been hiding in several holes at the bottom of the spirit stream, which is why it took some time." Yan Qing's voice came from the disciple token. "You can leave now. I'll go one mile to the west. Shake off that snake and come find me."

Yuan Ye glanced back at the snake, then chuckled, "Brother Niu, see you later. I'll invite you to play a tune again sometime."

As he spoke, he nimbly swayed, narrowly dodging the thick snake tail that swept towards him. The tree was snapped in two by the snake's tail, but he was completely unafraid. With a few light steps, he moved like a dragon, covering a distance of ten feet in an instant.
