Inadvertently looking at the elixir in Lin Ling's hand, Yi Yaofan's eyes instantly widened, "This elixir is ……" He fiercely turned back and looked at Shi Xia with a trace of surprise on his face.

"Senior Brother Yi, is there something wrong with this elixir?" Lin Ling asked.

"No problem." Only then did he withdraw his eyes and calmly said, "You should hurry up and feed it to Senior Brother Wang. It's good for him."

Lin Ling nodded, she felt relieved by Yi Yaofan's words and fed the elixir to Wang Xi. In less than an hour Wang Xi's breathing stabilized, his eyes opened, even the bleeding on his body stopped. His wounds began to slowly heal, and his entire body looked much better.

"There should be no other spirit beasts here. We will rest here today and get back on the road tomorrow." Yi Yaofan announced in a loud voice.

Everyone else had no opinion and nodded their heads in agreement. They either meditated in their place or helped their injured brothers and sisters to heal their wounds.

Shi Xia turned to walk away, intending to find a place to rest. But Yi Yaofan crept up to her with small steps and asked in a low voice, "How can you have ‘Jiuming Soul Restoring Pills' on you."

"Someone gave it to me." Shi Xia replied honestly.

"That is an eighth grade pill that can make the dead breath, grow flesh on bones, and even repair dantian." Even his father, who was the head of the sect, probably didn't have two of them, "Who would just give it to someone?"

"Will you believe me if I say it was given by Ling Xiu Peak's leader Chi Hou?"

Yi Yaofan gave her a look of ‘You can only dream' and said, "Shizu has never gone out of Ling Xiu Peak. Forget about getting a single pill, it's impossible for you to even meet him."

"He is my brother."

He scanned her up and down as if looking at a crazy woman, "Your brain is too thick to understand."

"Believe it or not, your wish." Shi Xia spread her hands and shrugged.

"Forget it if you don't want to say." Yi Yaofan said, "But you better not take out this pill in the future. You'll fall in trouble. Don't blame me for not reminding you."

After saying that, he coldly snorted, turned around and walked away.

Shi Xia touched her storage bag and thought, is this elixir really so powerful? She still has a bottle left.

Everyone in the group meditated for half an hour, the few people who suffered injury from contract formation backlash were also almost healed. Suddenly a green-clothed cultivator ran back with an excited face. This person was called Li Yu. In addition to Li Yu, many of the group who had lowest cultivation, or at early Jindan Stage, their divisional task wasn't completed. He was from the Ling Dan Peak, and his divisional task would be completed after gathering some rare spirit herbs.

"Look guys, what did I find!" Li Yu had an excited look on his face, showing the spirit herb in his hand.

"Isn't it just a low-grade spirit grass? Just only the second grade." One of the disciples simply glanced at him and said, not caring much.

It was Mu Ting, who was also a disciple of Ling Dan Peak, stood up with an excited face, "Could this be ‘Immortal Spirit Grass'?"

"That's right, it's the Immortal Spirit Grass!" Li Yu became even more excited.

"What's with this Immortal Spirit Grass?" Someone asked curiously.

"The Immortal Spirit Grass grows with the ‘Hanyu Flower King'." Mu Ting explained, "Although the Immortal Spirit Grass is only a second-ranked spirit grass, it only grows near the ‘Hanyu Flower King'."

"Hanyu Flower King, are you talking about the top-ranked spirit flower that can help you raise your cultivation by skipping one realm completely?"

"That's right." Li Yu nodded, "And half of this Immortal Spirit Grass has turned white, which is more proof that there is a Hanyu Flower King around here and it is in the ripening stage."

Everyone's eyes lit up at once and they gathered around to discuss. The way to cultivation has always been difficult, especially after the Golden Pill. Even overcoming one stage was difficult, let alone raising to a realm. But if they can get the Hanyu Flower King, raising one realm would be a piece of cake for them ah.

"Then what are you waiting for? Quickly take us there!"magic"Where is that flower?"

"Yes, we have to pick them quickly."

"We can't let others get there first."

Everyone began to urge Li Yu, who turned his head to their leader of the Yi Yaofan and asked, "The blooming period of the Hanyu Flower King is only one day, it will wither by dark. Brother Yi Yaofan, why don't we ……"

Yi Yaofan looked back at the badly injured Wang Xi and hesitated, "But ……" Although Wang Xi's injuries had been mostly healed with the Jiuming Soul Restoring Pill, it would take him some time to fully recover.

"Senior Brother Yi need not worry." Wang Xi said, "I can keep up."

Yi Yaofan nodded at this, instructed Lin Ling and the another senior brother to take care of Wang Xi, and signaled for Li Yu to lead the way.

The group began to search for the Hanyu Flower King. Since the group wanted to find it, Shi Xia also had no choice but to follow them. She walked far behind at the end. The premonition of something wrong was about to happen kept bugging her. This Hanyu Flower King, she had heard old man Bi Hong mentioning it once. Wasn't it a spiritual flower that only grew in the extremely cold land? How could it appear in the forest of a Secret Realm?

They walked deeper into the forest for about half an hour. The more they went deep, the more dense Immortal Spirit Grasses like the one Li Yu was holding appeared along the road. It was true that half of the leaves of the spirit grass had turned white.

"There's a pond up ahead." Li Yu pointed to the front.

Sure enough, a dozen meters ahead, a pond about ten meters in radius appeared. But there was a thick blanket of white fog covering the surface of the pond. Even standing far away, they could feel the icy cold air touching their skin, giving them goosebumps. The pond was a cold pond. Densely packed Immortal Spirit Grasses were seen around the pond.

"Where is the Hanyu Flower King? I don't see it." Several people searched around the pond, but did not find any spiritual grasses other than the Immortal Spirit Grass.

"Look, there seems to be a small island in the center of the pond." Li Yu pointed above the water surface and said, "The Hanyu Flower King must be there."

"Let's go and take a look." The crowd was about to call their long words.

"Wait!" Shi Xia couldn't help but speak up, "Don't you guys think this is all too easy?" Old man Bi Hong had said that the more rare the spiritual objects are, the more dangerous their surroundings are.

"Hmph! All outer disciples are just timid." The female cultivator who had insulted her before opened her mouth again and coldly snorted, "Everyone, just ignore her. The blooming period of the Hanyu Flower King has limited time. We have to hurry up and pick it."

She was just kindly reminding.

"She's right, there have always been spirit beasts around rare spirit herbs." Yi Yaofan also spoke up, "This journey was indeed too smooth. Don't let your guard down and pay some attention."

When the crowd heard this, they put up defensive boundaries around them. But the female cultivator's face darkened, she gritted her teeth before summoning her own boundary.

Yi Yaofan's cultivation was the highest among the disciples in the group. He walked at the front and everyone else followed behind. As they got on their longswords to go to the small island in the middle of the pond, Shi Xia noticed that the fog was becoming denser the more they moved forward. Through the white fog, a small land could be seen. The island was really small, only a few square feet.

Once the ten people landed, it became crowded. Shi Xia also landed on the island but her feet sank on the mud because she stepped into a mud hole. The hole was not very deep, it was only about ten centimeters wide. She looked closely and found that the island was full of such small mud holes.

"Has anyone seen the Hanyu Flower King?" Someone asked.

Everyone in the group shook their heads. The island was very small and every inch could be seen with only a glance. No to mention the Hanyu Flower King, they didn't find even an Immortal Spirit Grass.

"How can there be so many mud holes here? Could it be that someone has already gotten here first?" Li Yu looked at the holes on the ground and asked.

It was indeed possible, the size of the hole was just the spacing of a spiritual grass, wasn't it?

"We came all the way for nothing!" Everyone became discouraged.

"Huh, why is there a wooden sign standing here?" Mu Ting suddenly exclaimed and pointed ahead.Everyone looked in the direction and nodded, "Really, there indeed is a wooden sign stuck in the center!"

Shi Xia froze, she also looked over there, and found that a medium sized wooden sign was inserted on the ground in the middle of the island.

Everyone gathered around, "it seems that there are words written on it? But I've never seen this kind of writing before."

Shi Xia's heart thumped, she immediately squeezed at the front and looked at the wooden sign standing on the ground. When she saw the familiar handwriting, her mood soared for a moment, but when she read the words on it, her face darkened again.

The sign reads, "It is everyone's responsibility to look after the precious plants! This pond was built by me. –Handsome devil: Shi Dong.

It turned out that all the holes on this island were dug by him.

Isn't his sister herself? Then she just scolded herself.

Although not a single Hanyu Flower King was found, Shi Xia was relieved. She had come to the right place, her brainless brother, had indeed come to this secret realm, and this sign was the proof of that. The handwriting on it was a bit blurry, but still recognizable. It was at most a few decades old, definitely not a hundred years. That is to say, the last place where her brother appeared, was indeed this secret realm. But she was unsure if he was still around.

Thinking of this, her heart thumped and she became excited.

But the mood of other people wasn't so good.

"Who knows who took away the Hanyu Flower King. We came here for nothing!" Li Yu was furious, looking down at the wooden sign, he reached out towards it to vent his anger, "Damn it!"

Shi Xia instantly remembered what happened when they opened the jade box of the Mu Xuan Immortal Mansion, and her heart tightened. She hurriedly reached her hand to stop him, "Don't pull it!"

Unfortunately, it was already too late! Li Yu had already pulled up the wooden sign and smashed it hard on the ground. The wooden sign snapped in half with a loud sound.

Before anyone could speak, the ground started to vibrate suddenly. With a rumble, something came out of the ground. A green shadow flashed before their eyes, as a huge green snake appeared at the place of the broken wooden sign, and directly swallowed Li Yu who had just pulled the wooden sign.

(╯﹏╰)

"Disperse!" Yi Yaofan was the first to react and shouted.

The rest of the people only then flew up with their swords.

The giant snake had already turned its head towards the crowd and chased after them. With a flip of its tail, a big wave was formed in the middle of the cold pond, knocking down the two cultivators who were flying behind. Before the two people could even scream, they fell directly into the mouth of the snake.

In just two breaths, three people were already gone. Everyone's faces became pale with fear at the outcome.

"Fly to the shore!" Yi Yaofan said in a loud voice.

Only then did everyone react and realise that the spirit beast must be a water-based beast. So they quickly began to fly towards the shore. The giant snake also followed closely behind. Another huge wave rose with the help of its tail.

Everyone dodged the wave and flew wildly towards the shore with their swords. With great difficulty and fear, they were able to reach the forest, far from the cold pond. But the group did not dare to stop until they flew back to the place where they had previously defeated the Ling Fire Beast.
