Chapter 31: Spiritual Practice?

Lou Qi raised his hand towards her.

Facing the girl’s bright eyes, he remained silent for a moment, then moved his arm slightly to the side, lightly tapping Lin Ya’s forehead, lecturing her, “Don’t bully Master.”

Li Yang nodded, “I understand, I understand.”

No one except Master Brother was allowed to bully Xu Siqing.

Lin Ya was inexplicably hit and almost choked on his meat sandwich:”

After sending the others back to their rooms, Zhuang Churan didn’t leave, she hesitated and stopped, asking, “Do you think she can be a talisman cultivator?”

Lou Qi: “She’s not.”

The man had a keen sense for the way of talismans, he knew clearly that Li Yang couldn’t be a talisman cultivator.

“Then…”

Lou Qi held the talisman brush between his fingers, shaking it slightly, “Do you remember?”

“Master said… spiritual cultivation.”

Before going to sleep, Li Yang took out the talisman brush.

While drawing earlier, she had a vague sense of understanding, but she didn’t know how to interpret it. Taking advantage of the fact that she wasn’t sleepy yet, Li Yang wanted to try again.

The girl asked Lou Qi for a few talisman papers, sat down cross-legged, drew in spiritual energy, and imitated the appearance of a speed talisman, trying to draw it.

However, her lines were always crooked.

The lines of a real talisman were complex, Li Yang couldn’t remember them. Every time she looked at it, she could only draw one stroke, she couldn’t draw it all at once for now. In this sense, she was truly not cut out to be a talisman cultivator.

But on the other hand, the girl’s drawings on paper or on the ground could be materialized.

Actually, both the talisman brush and the talisman paper were just mediums for talisman cultivators to gather and control spiritual energy. Li Yang was different from them because she could control spiritual energy more easily and skillfully.

The experience of absorbing demon beast meat allowed her to now materialize her drawings without the need for talisman paper.

The first talisman the girl drew turned into a messy line that rose up, almost strangling her.

Fortunately, it was only for a moment.

She struggled slightly, and the spiritual energy dissipated, turning into twinkling stars.

These seemingly half-baked, useless drawings might have unexpected potential.

Li Yang rested her chin and pondered for a long time, tentatively communicating with the things she had drawn.

Another night passed.

The final discussion result came out, Ning Shiyan and Lin Ya couldn’t be left alone, Lou Qi decided to let Bai Yu be a team by himself.

After all, he was the fastest, and his mid-stage Golden Core cultivation could also withstand attacks.

Bai Yu understood.

A group of cultivators gathered outside the City Lord’s Mansion, they had already divided into teams early on. The Wenjian Sect and the Danwang Sect chose to disband and regroup, Fang Yizhou and Feng Yao followed Qi Buli’s team, and the other three Dan cultivators also had sword cultivators protecting them.

The teams from various sects that had come to participate in the secret realm were all about the same size, some teams were just right, and even if there were extra people, they could temporarily find loose cultivators to team up with.

After all this, Bai Yu became the only single sprout.

People invited him to join their team, but he directly refused.

Li Yang was moved by his courage to fight alone, she stuffed him with several meat sandwiches, “Third Senior Brother, I think it’s better for you to find someone to team up with, at least it’s safer.”

“You don’t understand anything.” Bai Yu put away the meat sandwich and patted her little head, “How much sincerity can there be in a temporary team? It’s better to be free and easy by myself, I can go wherever I want.”

No one to hold him back, he could run even faster.

Lou Qi: “After you go in, hide well, I’ll try my best to find you.”

He nodded, smiling cheerfully.

It was as if he was going to pursue freedom, his whole body was sparkling with light, happy and carefree.

The City Lord of Bihai City stood above, overlooking the young cultivators, his eyes filled with smiles.

“Indeed, look at Lou Qi of the Yufeng Sect, he’s already a Yuan Ying-stage talisman cultivator at such a young age, I heard he broke the record set by the young master.”

“Qi Buli of the Wanjian Sect is also a promising talent, and there’s also Luo Qingyang of the Taixu Sect…”

The City Lord surveyed the crowd, stroked his beard, and chuckled, “Excellent, excellent.”

He commanded, “Open the secret realm!”

“Yes!”

The old man beside him exchanged glances with the people behind him, and several of them quickly formed a formation.

A towering water curtain rose from the pond in the center of the crowd.

The water flow condensed and formed, vaguely resembling the shape of a map.

“Try to memorize it,” Lou Qi whispered, “This is the only glimpse we have of the general map of the Rebirth Secret Realm.”

Li Yang followed the crowd’s gaze, the outline of the water flow was faint, only a rough sketch could be seen.

The secret realm only opened once every hundred years, and each time it looked different. Even if someone had entered the secret realm before, the map from then wouldn’t be useful now. Every step they took in the secret realm was a new challenge and a new opportunity.

The next second, teams of cultivators gathered outside, spiritual arrays lit up under their feet, and a white light enveloped them.

The teleportation array was fast, everyone entered the secret realm almost simultaneously.

The old man took out a recording spirit stone.

The teleportation tokens distributed to each cultivator contained a positioning talisman. Once everyone entered the secret realm, their locations would be displayed on the water curtain.

The City Lord’s Mansion could only see the color and position, but they didn’t know who those specific people were, nor could they see their opportunities. They could only see a blurry map with positioning.

This setting was also due to the instability of the secret realm.

If someone disappeared in the Rebirth Secret Realm, he could give the recording spirit stone to the other party’s sect, and they could choose how to deal with it.

After all the cultivators disappeared, the water curtain map lit up for a moment.

The smile on the City Lord’s face vanished, his eyes widened in disbelief, “How is this possible?”

The positioning color hidden in the teleportation token was unique to each sect, while loose cultivators were all white.

Logically, the moment they entered the secret realm, they should have been in their assigned teams, with five colored positions clustered together.

But just now, colorful stars flickered across the entire map.

All the teams were scattered.

It was rare to see two or three people teleported together, and even rarer to see the same color.

Wouldn’t they start fighting before they even got there?

The old man also noticed the problem, his expression stiff, “The teleportation array malfunctioned.”

“How could something like this happen out of the blue?”

Sword cultivators had strong combat abilities, and talisman cultivators could also fight alone to some extent, but Dan cultivators and weapon cultivators couldn’t. In the grand secret realm, they needed someone to protect them, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

The City Lord scratched his head in frustration and quickly commanded, “Quickly notify the major sects, and investigate the cause of the problem.”

The originally well-organized City Lord’s Mansion instantly became a chaotic mess.

There were loose cultivators who weren’t participating in the secret realm watching from outside, they said with amusement, “This Rebirth Secret Realm seems exciting this time.”

As soon as he finished speaking, another teleportation array lit up on the cleared ground in front of the City Lord’s Mansion.

A “mud man” holding a Xuan sword was teleported out.

Someone with sharp eyes exclaimed, “It’s Song Heng of the Danwang Sect, he was actually kicked out so quickly.”

“So fast, even faster than when the second uncle of the Golden Core sword cultivator drew his sword and cut me.”

“Who did it? How dare they provoke someone from the Danwang Sect so quickly, do they not want to buy pills anymore?”

The crowd whispered amongst themselves.

Song Heng’s face turned completely black.

Just now, he had become the fastest man in history, transcending everything.
