The Arrogant Immortal-Chapter 71 - Tianshui Secret Realm

Disciples from various peaks arrived one after another, passed the elder’s checks, and boarded the Flying Boat, gathering in small groups.

Xie Jiuniang opened her eyes and gave a covert assessment.

A slight commotion was heard from outside.

Xie Ying arrived, with the demeanor of being the center of attention. Those gathered around her, regardless of gender, were all the Sect’s chosen talents.

To Xie Jiuniang’s surprise, she didn’t see Lin Wangchen.

At the same time, Mo Chuan was also absent.

She remembered that both of them participated in the secret realm training in their past lives…

When Xie Ying stepped onto the Flying Boat, she looked around. Upon not seeing the troublesome Xie Jiuniang, she let out an inexplicable sigh of relief. Then she found a place to sit down.

The rest took their seats beside Xie Ying.

Xie Jiuniang no longer paid attention to Xie Ying.

Another person came over, a woman as exquisite as an immortal, whose every move reflected unmatched elegance. She was the aloof beauty who had taken away the rich little boy during the entry examination.

Xie Jiuniang had no interaction with this woman in her previous life. But Ren Bingyan’s name was well-known; she was the number one beauty in the Eastern Region. Whether it was her background, innate talent, or appearance, she was top-notch.

Xie Jiuniang had once heard a rumor that Lin Wangchen’s beloved was Ren Bingyan. At the time, she had just laughed it off without taking it seriously.

An outstanding beauty, naturally, would have many admirers.

In her past life, Ren Bingyan always remained alone.

Later on, she and Xie Ying were known as the Twin Pearls of the Eastern Region, famous throughout the Cultivation World.

And the Water Kirin from the past life’s Tianshui Secret Realm… the final victor was Ren Bingyan.

Xie Jiuniang was lost in her thoughts of the past life.

Suddenly, someone approached her.

A faint scent of medicine drifted from him to her nose.

Xie Jiuniang subconsciously turned to look at him, meeting his gaze that was like a sea of stars, gentle and polite.

He gave an apologetic smile and asked softly, “Junior Brother, may I sit here?”

A pair of outstanding star-like eyes, an ordinary face?

Xie Jiuniang withdrew her gaze and complained to Jian Lingyan, “Is this man a chameleon or something, changing his appearance again?”

“Wow! Master, you recognized him before I even told you?” Jian Lingyan pretended to be shocked.

Xie Jiuniang felt awkward saying, “Little Jianjian, speak properly. He has a very faint medicinal scent on him, probably even he hasn’t noticed it.”

People usually can’t smell their own scent. Otherwise, with Mo Chuan’s proficient face-changing technique, it wouldn’t make sense for him to have such an obvious flaw.

Xie Jiuniang didn’t know that Mo Chuan hid it.

Alas, some people’s noses were too capable, and she herself was completely unaware of it. The talents of the chosen one are truly unreasonable.

A hidden expression flickered in the depths of Mo Chuan’s eyes.

Indeed, it wasn’t only Xie Jiuniang who recognized Mo Chuan at first glance. Mo Chuan also recognized Xie Jiuniang instantly; in his eyes, her disguise was laughably bad.

However, her first look at him was off…

Mo Chuan pondered for a moment, then chuckled silently, sending a message, “Have you recognized me?”

Xie Jiuniang remained impassive.

Didn’t hear it, didn’t hear it.

Mo Chuan laughed softly to himself and sent another message, “How about we team up? It’s too conspicuous to be alone on the Flying Boat.”

Xie Jiuniang looked around.

Only Ren Bingyan sat alone.

Not teaming up indeed stood out like a firefly in the night.

Xie Jiuniang tacitly accepted the idea of teaming with Mo Chuan but thought to herself that they should separate once they entered the Tianshui Secret Realm.

Mo Chuan sat down beside her and sent another message, “Do you have any Green Dumplings?”

“No,” Xie Jiuniang had it, but she simply didn’t want to give it away for free to outsiders.

Mo Chuan asked again, “What about other food?”

“Would you like some of the jerky I made?” Xie Jiuniang turned her head and asked seriously.

Mo Chuan remembered the rumor about the jerky and, similar to what Xie Si’niang had once thought, he was a bit curious to try the worst jerky in history, to see just how bad it could be.

He reached out his hand to Xie Jiuniang.

Xie Jiuniang looked down, his hand was truly beautiful, with fingers like green onions, well-defined knuckles, and a sense of strength to them.

“Here!”

Xie Jiuniang grabbed a handful of the jerky she had thrown into the corner and stuffed it into Mo Chuan’s hand.

Mo Chuan examined the jerky, several times he thought about putting it in his mouth but then put it down.

Forget it, don’t try it.

From her eyes, he could tell it was no good.

He put the jerky into his storage bag.

Mo Chuan then said, “You still owe me eighty-one green dumplings.”

Xie Jiuniang pretended to be ignorant again.

Who owes whom? That’s not true!

At the moment, she suspected Mo Chuan had too much free time, or he still hadn’t dismissed his suspicions about her… But on second thought, that didn’t seem to be the case.

They had already dissipated earlier.

Could it be that he grew suspicious again upon seeing her in the flying boat today?

More people boarded the flying boat, led by Lin Wangchen from Fafeng as a disciple.

Lin Wangchen surveyed the surroundings and finally chose a spot not far from Ren Bingyan to sit down. The other Fafeng disciples gathered around and took their seats.

Xie Jiuniang glanced at them and couldn’t help but contemplate whether there was a chance to kill Lin Wangchen in this secret realm journey.

Looking at the disciples crowding around him… the risk assessment was too high.

Once everyone was aboard, the flying boat started.

With several Nascent Soul elders on the boat, the disciples were extremely well-behaved, and nobody dared to cause any trouble.

Time passed quickly for cultivators.

With just one session of meditation, half a month had passed.

When Xie Jiuniang opened her eyes again, the flying boat had stopped, arriving at its destination.

At the entrance of the Tianshui Secret Realm, disciples from all the great sects, numbering in the thousands, had gathered.

It was normal for sects to exchange resources. The Tianxu Sect would concede a certain number of spots, and in return, they would get a similar number of spots in secret realms controlled by others.

With Divinity Transformation cultivators guarding the entrance of the secret realm, no one dared to cause any trouble.

Once everyone had arrived, the Divinity Transformation cultivator opened the secret realm. Tianxu Sect disciples entered first, followed by other great sects.

Xie Jiuniang followed behind Mo Chuan as they entered. She mainly wanted to use his height to shield herself, the less attention she drew, the better.

Stepping into the secret realm.

After a moment of dizziness.

Xie Jiuniang appeared inside the secret realm… in mid-air?

Fuck!

No wonder they said the Tianshui Secret Realm wasn’t very friendly to those in the Qi Cultivation Stage—who didn’t know sword flying were at a significant disadvantage.

Xie Jiuniang promptly used a flight charm.

With spiritual energy wings sprouting on her back, she finally stopped her fall.

All around, there was nothing but water.

Many sect disciples, caught off guard upon entering the secret realm, had fallen into the water just like dumplings.

Splash, splash.

Then, one after another, they emerged from the water in an awkward manner, displaying their various magical abilities.

The water churned.

Were there water beasts below?

Suddenly, a large boat appeared on the surface. Mo Chuan flew with his sword, rescuing several disciples in danger from the water, flinging them onto the deck.

After busying himself for a while, Mo Chuan came to Xie Jiuniang overhead and said with a playful tone, “You have a good talent for the Talisman Path.”

Xie Jiuniang did not respond.

She did not board Mo Chuan’s large boat. Instead, she took out a new type of small flying boat prepared by her father, installed a medium-grade spirit stone in the groove, and the little flying boat instantly expanded.

It grew to the size of a normal small boat.

Xie Jiuniang flapped her spiritual energy wings and flew onto the little boat.
