Five days later.
Lu Yuan slowly opened his eyes, his pupils shimmering with Divine Power, bright flashes constantly flickering.
After this period of Divine Sense Cultivation,
He had successfully begun to emerge from his Sea of Consciousness.
All his Divine Senses were incredibly acute.
Without eyes or ears, he could perceive everything nearby, as if all things in heaven and earth had become agile, extremely mysterious.
Afterward, Lu Yuan rose and walked out of his Immortal Cave, experiencing the various wondrous uses of his powerful Divine Sense.
And just at this moment,
His gaze suddenly sharpened.
In a hidden area not far away, he detected the auras of two Cultivators, who seemed to have been lingering there for a long time.
And one of them, upon seeing him emerge, rushed over even faster, with a very strong purpose.
"Who could it be…?"
Lu Yuan thought for a moment, standing still, making no move, quietly waiting.
A moment later,
A charming woman, swaying her snake-like waist, appeared in Lu Yuan's line of sight.
"This Junior Brother, you look so unfamiliar."
"Did you just move into this Immortal Cave?"
Qin Ping came before Lu Yuan, her eyes darting, and she chuckled charmingly.
"Hmm, I just joined the Outer Sect not long ago."
"And you are?"
Lu Yuan nodded, asking with a hint of confusion.
"My name is Qin Ping; I joined the Sect two years before you."
"Look, I live on the adjacent mountain peak. Speaking of which, Junior Brother, we're neighbors."
Qin Ping pointed with her hand.
"So that's how it is." Lu Yuan suddenly understood.
"Junior Brother is so handsome. May I ask your name?"
"Lu Yuan."
Qin Ping's beautiful eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this.
Sure enough, she hadn't found the wrong person.
Immediately, Qin Ping and Lu Yuan chatted briefly.
Finally, she slowly revealed her intention.
"Lu Shidi, you're so young, yet your Cultivation is not weak."
"I wonder if you could help Senior Sister with a favor?"
"What favor?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow, secretly becoming wary.
"It's nothing much, actually."
"It's just that in an ancient forest outside the Sect, I discovered a rare Spiritual Plant that is hundreds of years old."
"But there's a powerful Yao Beast guarding that Spiritual Plant, and I can't handle it alone."
"So, I was thinking of cooperating with Junior Brother."
"I'll distract the Yao Beast, and Junior Brother can take the Spiritual Plant."
"What do you think, Lu Shidi?"
At this point, Qin Ping didn't forget to add, "Of course, I won't let Junior Brother do it for nothing. After it's done, there will be another reward."
"Oh? What reward?" Lu Yuan feigned a look of great interest.
"Well… we can discuss that."
Seeing that he had taken the bait, Qin Ping smiled sweetly, breathing like an orchid into his ear, her almost half-voluptuous body pressed against him, her implied meaning very clear.
And just at this moment,
The System's notification sound suddenly rang in Lu Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.
[Ding, detecting the host's current experience, triggering option rewards]
[One, agree to go, reward a Divine Ability, Five Elements Great Handprint]
[Two, refuse to go, reward a hundred-year-old Spiritual Plant]
"System notification…"
Hearing this, Lu Yuan finally confirmed in his heart.
This woman harbored ill intentions towards him.
She wanted to use a honey trap to trick him out of the Sect, then seize the opportunity to act.
And the other aura hidden hundreds of feet away,
Must be Qin Ping's accomplice.
"What are you hesitating about, Junior Brother?"
"Are you afraid I'll eat you?"
Qin Ping smiled charmingly, saying half-jokingly.
"The reward… can it really be discussed?"
Lu Yuan feigned a posture, grinned, and then his bold gaze quickly roamed over her.
"Of course." Qin Ping patted her ample chest, assuring him.
"Good, when do we go?"
Lu Yuan no longer hesitated, asking.
"Delaying will lead to changes, let's set off now!"
"It wouldn't be good if someone else got there first."
Qin Ping's pretty face lit up with joy, and she urged.
"Alright, then Senior Sister Qin, please lead the way!"
"Lu Shidi is straightforward, please!"
As her words fell,
Qin Ping moved swiftly, dashing forward.
Lu Yuan followed closely behind, his powerful Divine Sense exploring the surroundings.
Sure enough,
The Cultivator hidden in the shadows also moved.
He deliberately maintained a certain distance from the two of them.
However, this still could not escape Lu Yuan's Divine Thought perception.
The Cultivation of the two was roughly similar.
Both were at the Great Perfection of the Bitter Sea Realm.
Although they were two minor Realms higher than Lu Yuan,
He felt no fear in his heart, confident that he could sweep away all Bitter Sea Realm opponents.
He might as well play along with their scheme.
To see who was instructing these two and what they were plotting against him.
...
Wan Chu Holy Land was hidden among countless mountains and valleys.
All around were vast ancient forests and wilderness.
Many rare Spiritual Plants of considerable age grew there.
There were also many powerful Yao Beasts lurking.
It gradually became a place of tempering for many Holy Land Disciples and surrounding Loose Cultivators.
Slaughter and death were common here.
But it also came with various Opportunities and good fortune, making people flock to it.
Several hours later,
Qin Ping led Lu Yuan to a deep mountain range.
All around were empty valleys, dense ancient forests, and few human traces.
From time to time, a few high-pitched beast roars came from afar, sending shivers down one's spine.
"Lu Shidi, if we go a few hundred more miles, we'll reach the place I mentioned."
"Right now, we're still on the outskirts of the mountain range, with no powerful Yao Beasts appearing."
"So, you don't need to be nervous."
Qin Ping's pretty face was beaming with a smile, trying to make Lu Yuan drop his guard.
"Okay."
Lu Yuan's expression was calm, and he nodded.
Subsequently, the two slowed their pace and walked side by side.
Along the way, they chatted and laughed, without any sense of urgency.
After a while longer,
Qin Ping finally found an Opportunity, deliberately slowing her steps a bit and falling behind Lu Yuan.
A cold glint flashed in her eyes, and she quickly formed hand seals.
In an instant, the Divine Power in her Bitter Sea surged.
A violent, scorching aura emanated from her palm.
This was a high-level fire-elemental Divine Ability that Qin Ping Cultivated; its destructive power was astonishing, and it had always been effective.
If this strike landed, the person in front of her would have no chance of survival!
And just as Qin Ping was about to deliver the fatal blow,
A slender hand, entwined with strange power, appeared from nowhere, shooting out like lightning and grabbing Qin Ping's hands that were forming seals.
"What?!" Qin Ping was greatly alarmed and couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.
When she looked up again, a handsome face with a playful smile quietly appeared in her sight.
"Senior Sister, we were chatting so nicely, why are you spitting fire?"
