When I woke up, the entire cultivation world was talking about my master.

The preliminary rules of the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm quickly spread, and all Golden Core stage cultivators could sign up to participate in the secret realm trial. As for whether they could obtain the qualification to enter, that depended on each person's cultivation method and ability.

"Xianlan, your senior uncle has already registered your name. Do your best then."

Pei Fang'an came out of the house and patted the boy on the back encouragingly.

What? He's going to the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm? Chu Xianlan blinked, and some forgotten things flashed through her mind, making her realize a huge problem.

Entangling Gu.

Both he and his master were bound by the Life-Binding Gu!

Once the distance between the two exceeds a certain limit, the Gu worm will actively release its Gu breath, summoning the other party back and... it will also... forcibly trigger the Gu poison to take effect!

Once you step into a secret realm, you are completely isolated from the outside world.

At that time, the distance will not only be too far, but they will be completely separated into two different spaces!

Imagine yourself entering the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm, only to collapse to the ground, weak all over, your face flushed, and then, in full view of everyone, stripped...

The scene was too beautiful; just thinking about it made Chu Xianlan's vision go black.

Damn, he can't possibly go to the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm!

Just as Pei Fang'an finished giving his instructions and was about to turn and leave, Chu Xianlan quickly turned back, "Master, Senior Uncle! Wait!"

Pei Fang'an's face still wore a kind smile. "Oh dear, is there anything else Xianlan wants to say?"

"..." Chu Xianlan forced herself to find a reason, "My spiritual root can't use weapons. Even if I find a sword, I won't be able to resonate with it. So... do I really have to go?"

Pei Fang'an frowned, closed his folding fan, and lightly tapped his junior nephew's forehead. "The list is finalized and cannot be changed. What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Xianlan, why are you having second thoughts? Young man, you must have spirit, you must dare to take risks! Didn't Yichen also venture into the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm alone to obtain the Unbound Boat? Even if you have a special physique, there are other opportunities in the secret realm. Prepare well and don't let your mind wander. Your master believes you will definitely achieve something!"

There are many reasons behind this.

Chu Xianlan's face turned pale. Every time she listened to her senior uncle speak, it felt like being bombarded, and her mind couldn't process what he was saying for a long time.

Pei Fang'an walked away, fanning himself.

Chu Xianlan turned around, grabbed Hua Ling, and shook her frantically, yelling, "Spit out the Spiritless Immortal Sprout right now!!"

Hua Ling's eyes gleamed with golden light. "Waaah, stop, stop! It's going to fall apart!"

Even she couldn't possibly conjure up a spiritless fairy bud out of thin air all at once!

Having finally escaped the clutches of evil, Hua Ling huffed, "Do you think rare and precious herbs are like cabbages? Those things only mature once a year and are incredibly demanding in their growing conditions. I've already tried my best!"

Chu Xianlan felt that her future was bleak and that it was quite cool.

"Don't rush." ​​Xue Ling reached out her cool little hand and patted the boy's cheek.

Hua Ling rolled her eyes, pondered for a moment, and a brilliant idea popped into her clever little brain.

With a "bang".

As the light faded, "Yi Chen" made a dazzling appearance.

Yi Chen leaned slightly closer to Chu Xianlan, gently brushing a strand of silver hair from his cheek with his fingertips, his breath sweet as orchids, "How about this... what do you think?"

Chu Xianlan: "..." Not good, it's hard.

The fist hardened.

Seeing this fake master again only brings back all sorts of unbearable memories, making me feel so ashamed my scalp tingles.

Yi Chen, who was inside the house, noticed the noise outside and pushed open the door, only to see his disciple being intimate with a strange man.

His eyes turned cold, and before he knew it, he had already reached out and pulled Chu Xianlan firmly into his arms.

The surrounding chill intensified, and Chu Xianlan was momentarily distracted when she felt her back pressed against a hard chest. The aura of a moonlit snowy night enveloped her, and she was so close that she could hear the other person's steady heartbeat.

Yi Chen's clear black and white eyes seemed to be frozen, and he slowly raised his gaze upwards, trying to see who was so audacious—and his eyes met those of a face exactly like his own.

doubt.

Hua Ling: "...Uh?"

Chu Xianlan was also stunned. What was going on?

This bizarre scene lasted for about two breaths.

"Oh, Xianlan, your senior master forgot to mention, remember to go to the trial early tomorrow..."

When Pei Fang'an came back in, he saw this explosive scene. His face turned red and his eyes burned with pain. He immediately rushed out.

He's lived so many years and seen everything... but this is truly the first time he's ever seen anything like it!

Chu Xianlan's mind went blank for a moment. She quickly broke free from her master's embrace and hurriedly raised her hand to call out to Pei Fang'an, who was fleeing in panic.

"Master Uncle! Don't go!"

Pei Fang'an covered his face with his fan and ran wildly. Good heavens, he had advised his junior brother to treat his disciple better and get closer to him, but he hadn't specified what "better" or "closer" meant!

This...this...this...playing it so elaborately, what kind of behavior is this!

Seeing that she couldn't call her master back, Chu Xianlan had no choice but to turn back in despair. The cold air in the courtyard hadn't dissipated yet. Yi Chen was expressionless, looking down at his arm that had been thrown away, lost in thought.

Hua Ling is very cowardly and has already turned back to her original form.

She pouted, poking her two little fingers together. "Didn't you want to go to the Myriad Swords Immortal Realm? I've got a plan for you. The problem with the Entangling Fate Gu is that it activates when the distance is too far, right? As long as someone transforms into your master's appearance and stays outside, and then your master transforms into something inconspicuous, suppresses their cultivation to the Golden Core stage, and goes in with you, wouldn't that solve the problem?"

She was very confident in her transformation technique. As long as she didn't deliberately reveal her identity or use spiritual power to attack, outsiders would not be able to tell that Immortal Lord Jixue had been replaced.

Anyway, when Yi Chen is away from Chu Xianlan, he only says "hmm".

"In that case... if you don't separate in the secret realm, the Gu worms won't cause trouble..."

"How can this be!" Chu Xianlan blurted out.

Something unremarkable? What could it possibly transform into... an object? A spirit pet?

Who could stand that? Chu Xianlan couldn't bear just thinking about that scene.

Rather than having his master hide and follow him into the secret realm, he would rather rack his brains to find an excuse not to go.

Even if I am scolded by Senior Uncle Pei, I cannot let my master suffer such injustice.

Chu Xianlan gritted her teeth, her chest heaving a few times. "Absolutely not."

Hua Ling didn't expect this kid to react so strongly; when he got angry, he was like a puppy baring its teeth.

She puffed out her cheeks. "Hey, don't get so worked up. I was just making a suggestion. If you have any better ideas, feel free to think about them!"

Just then, Yi Chen, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up, "This is feasible."
