Chapter 71 - Eldest Senior Brother

Chapter 71: Chapter 69: Eldest Senior Brother"Ye Qiu, over here." Water Spirit had just run off to who knows where, and now, she was eagerly pulling him over as if she had found a treasure.

When Ye Qiu went over, he found a small grey-black mound trembling, surrounded by Water Spirit’s Spiritual Water.

"Earth Spirit?" Ye Qiu exclaimed in surprise.

He had no idea where Qingling had found the Earth Spirit in her previous life. Had she also come to this secret realm?

Suddenly, Ye Qiu realized, could his luck be quite good? Could the System’s luck bonus actually compete with a Child of Destiny?

What he didn’t know was that a person’s luck is not fixed—after repeatedly spoiling Qingling’s good fortunes, her luck slowly dissipated.

And as he had the aim of saving the masses, under the influence of the luck bonus, his own luck naturally grew better; that’s why in this life, he encountered this Small Secret Realm before Qingling did.

"Little one, Water Spirit means no harm. Come with me," Ye Qiu curiously poked the small mound, speaking gently.

Sensing that Ye Qiu bore no malice and feeling a very likable aura from him, the Earth Spirit showed its true form.

Perhaps due to the dense Immortal Spirit Qi in this place, the Earth Spirit had grown faster than Water Spirit and Mu Ling; it had already taken the shape of a small turtle.

"Hello there!" Little Wood Spirit cheerfully greeted it. That’s great, with the Earth Spirit here, its Spirit Plants can grow even faster now.

"Hello," the Earth Spirit replied sluggishly.

Slowly approaching Little Wood Spirit, it asked with anticipation and nervousness, "Do you like these Spirit Plants?"

"I love them!" Little Wood Spirit said, joyfully.

"Then may I give them all to you?" As the Earth Spirit spoke, it used some kind of Divine Skills, and Ye Qiu only saw the whole Spiritual Field uprooting and rapidly shrinking.

Seeing this, Little Wood Spirit quickly opened its own space, and along with Earth Spirit and Water Spirit, they disappeared from the spot. The three little fellows were chirping away in the space, discussing how to arrange the planting area.

Although the field of medicinal herbs had been taken away, the Immortal Spirit Qi here was still abundant. Ye Qiu wasted no time in seizing the opportunity to cultivate.

It’s hard to believe if told out loud—ordinary cultivators spend a hundred years and cannot break through a major realm, while Ye Qiu, in less than ten years, advanced from the Divinity Transformation Stage to the Body Integration Realm.

A Body Integration Realm Great Power under forty years of age, mentioning it would make others green with envy!

Meanwhile, Qingling, accompanied by Xue Yang, Fanxing, Ming Jing, and a silver-haired, green-eyed man, was battling Arctic Ice Wolves on the ice field.

The climate of the Arctic Icefield is extreme, unsuitable for humans to live in the long term. Those who can survive here are fierce demon beasts, and not anyone is like Ye Qiu, who would come to such a place for cultivation.

Qingling and the others had come here in

She couldn’t help but think to herself how, even though Ye Qiutian was immensely talented, what was his current level of cultivation? When they met again, she would definitely show him no mercy, turning him into a ghost under her control.

"Spirit Milk?" Ye Qiu and his group came to a cave that the Earth Spirit had discovered while playing around years ago. The Small Secret Realm wasn’t extensive, and ever since deciding to follow Ye Qiu, the Earth Spirit had enthusiastically led them treasure hunting, having scoured the place.

It was unclear how many years the Spirit Milk had accumulated, but there was enough to fill a small pond emanating rich Immortal Spirit Qi. Just tasting a drop of the Spiritual Water filled up Ye Qiu’s Dantian, and after drinking a small cup, he found his old wounds, accumulated over years, healing quietly.

Ye Qiu filled two bottles with Spirit Milk for himself, and the rest was kept by Little Wood Spirit. After this trip to the Small Secret Realm, it had essentially become quite wealthy.

Meanwhile, after obtaining the Ice Heart and unknowingly triggering something, Qingling and her group fell into the Small Secret Realm as well.

"Immortal Spirit Qi? How could there be Immortal Spirit Qi in the Lower Realm?" A residual soul woke from its slumber, unbelievingly stating that the Immortal Spirit Qi here was even more abundant than in its own abode.

"The soil has been disturbed; it seems someone has been here and hasn’t gone far," Xue Yang picked up a handful of soil, frowning deeply. If the person who arrived before them had looted the place, what treasures might they have acquired?

Looking at the empty soil, Qingling suddenly felt like there was a void in her heart - that same sensation. What exactly had she lost?

Could it be Ye Qiu again?

Thinking of this, Qingling’s eyes filled with anger and an intense murderous intent.

"Let’s move on and see. We might still find them. I refuse to believe that with so many of us, we can’t defeat them," Fanxing said confidently. After overcoming so many obstacles, he had reached the Late-stage Divine Transformation and had countless trump cards in hand. Could they really not capture the opposition?

Immortal Spirit Qi! So was this hollowed-out place where Immortal Elixirs had been?

Regardless of who came first, he already regarded the contents of this Small Secret Realm as their own possession.
