I just want to live well, but I surpassed the protagonist – 32 The Secret Realm
Tianluo Sect Sword Pavilion Hall
Although Qin Shimeng is a true disciple, she still occasionally goes to the Taoist Temple to listen to the Daoist Master’s teachings.
The Tianluo Sect is very prestigious. The Daoist Masters who teach the Dao are either at the late stage of the Golden Core, close to the Nascent Soul, or at the Nascent Soul stage. If you pull any of them out casually, they are all capable of starting their own sect.
In the early stage of the Crystallization, Qin Shimeng sat alone at the back, her face covered with a veil, like a fairy who did not eat human fireworks, and her whole body exuded an aura of keeping people away.
The content of the Daoist Master’s lecture was about the details that should be paid attention to in the early stage of Crystallization. Even though Qin Shimeng had already comprehended the Golden Core Sword Intent, she still needed to learn from experienced people about some details.
As for why she didn’t go to her master An Yufang, it was simply because she didn’t want to bother her with such a simple matter.
After the teaching was over and the Daoist Master left, Qin Shimeng prepared to return to her residence to carefully savor and digest the content.
Suddenly, she heard her ‘classmates’ mention a newly opened secret realm.
The Blackwater Secret Realm.
“Can you elaborate?” Qin Shimeng took the initiative to talk to the young male sword cultivators who were discussing it.

When the male cultivators saw Qin Shimeng approaching, they initially thought they had misheard. Then, when they saw her stop in front of them, they were all thrilled and became a little incoherent.
After all, Qin Shimeng rarely came to the Daoism Hall to listen to lectures. Moreover, as an elder’s true disciple, she was like a lofty mountain that ordinary disciples could only look up to, not to mention that she was also an exceptional beauty.
The male cultivators rushed to tell her everything they knew.
“Are there really that many resources inside?” Qin Shimeng had been in seclusion and cultivation for most of her time in the Qin family, so she rarely knew about the outside world.
“Yes, every time it opens, there are nameless cultivators who obtain excellent resources and soar to the sky.”
“However, the competition inside is also fierce. People often ‘disappear’.”
When he said the word ‘disappear’, the cultivator emphasized his tone. Anyone intelligent enough would know that the so-called ‘disappearance’ actually meant being killed by others.
Qin Shimeng felt that it was not surprising that such a resource-rich secret realm would have incidents of murder and treasure-snatching. She asked the male cultivators if anyone from the Tianluo Sect had entered it. The male cultivators said that every time it opened , there would be disciples who entered. Other sects and families generally would not offend or make things difficult for the disciples of the Tianluo Sect, so there were few ‘disappeared’ disciples from the Tianluo Sect.
Qin Shimeng asked for the names of those disciples who had entered, and after thanking the male cultivators, she went to visit them in person.
She met several people in a row, both male and female. They all said that there were many cultivators who rushed into the Blackwater Secret Realm. In order to avoid conflicts with others, they did not go too deep and only tried their luck near the entrance, but it was true that there were many resources inside, and there were also many rare resources.
“Is there a Quenching Spirit Flower?” Qin Shimeng asked everyone, and the answers she got were basically the same.
“Definitely. There’s even Dragon’s Cry Grass inside, let alone the Quenching Spirit Flower.”
The Quenching Spirit Flower is a third-grade spiritual plant, and the Dragon’s Cry Grass is a fourth-grade spiritual plant. Both are very rare, but there is no doubt that the Dragon’s Cry Grass is rarer. It is rumored that the place where it grows is either where dragon’s blood has been spilled before, or there is a powerful spiritual beast nearby that is about to evolve, and its breath nourishes it.
Although it is a rumor, it is true that the Dragon’s Cry Grass has very high requirements for its growth environment. Although the Quenching Spirit Flower is rare, its requirements are not as high as it is.
On the way back to her residence, Qin Shimeng would always inadvertently recall Ye Yong’s bitter smile and the worry that flashed in his eyes when he mentioned that he had not yet reached the Crystallization Cultivation level. She quickly made up her mind.
She was going to go to the Blackwater Secret Realm to pick the Quenching Spirit Flower for Ye Yong.
Since the Dragon’s Cry Grass could be found inside, it was natural that there was hope of finding the Quenching Spirit Flower as well.
The Quenching Spirit Flower can help Foundation Establishment cultivators refine their spiritual power when they break through to the Crystallization level. Some Foundation Establishment cultivators are unable to break through to the Crystallization level because their spiritual power has not been refined, but refining spiritual power is not a simple matter.
She felt that it was unlikely that Ye Yong’s seven-colored Foundation Establishment was the reason why he could not break through to the Crystallization level, because seven spiritual meridians meant that he had more spiritual power than others, so it would be more difficult to refine it.
Especially Ye Yong, who had recultivated. In just two short months, he had not only returned to the seventh level of Foundation Establishment but had also broken through to the tenth level. This speed was too fast. Even if his foundation was not damaged, he would not have enough time to refine his spiritual power.
Ye Yong had helped Qin Shimeng a lot, and Qin Shimeng wanted to repay him once.
Before setting off, Qin Shimeng first changed into a set of clothes that were easy to move around in and less conspicuous, and then went to inform her master.
After all, if she was going out, it was best to tell her master in advance.
“The Blackwater Secret Realm…” Hearing this, An Yufang pondered for a moment. “Every time it opens, many people disappear inside. People’s hearts are unpredictable, and some cultivators will do anything for money. Moreover, there are many demons beast in the Blackwater Secret Realm. More than ten years ago, several direct descendants of our sect’s elders entered it together and were swallowed by a beast. Although we sent people in later to kill those beasts, the people did not come back. .. Evil cultivators and monsters are both hidden dangers. You are only at the first level of Crystallization, so I don’t recommend you to go. What do you want to find inside?”
“To be honest with Master, it’s the Quenching Spirit Flower.”
“Oh? Aren’t you already at the Crystallization level? Why do you still need the Quenching Spirit Flower?”
“I want to give it to a… friend.”
“It’s Ye Yong, isn’t it?” An Yufang smiled.
Qin Shimeng did not answer, but lowered her face in embarrassment.
An Yufang waved her hand. “I have the Quenching Spirit Flower. After I took you as my disciple, I used my connections to find two hundred-year-old varieties. I originally wanted to see if you needed them, but you broke through to the Crystallization level without a sound. I originally thought I had wasted them, but now it just so happens that I can give them to Ye Yong.”
“That’s not appropriate.” Qin Shimeng shook her head. “I want to find one myself.”
“I see, it’s about your feelings.” An Yufang nodded. “We cultivators sometimes know that there is danger, but we still have to take risks. Many old guys lack this kind of spirit, so they can’t break through. I ‘m the same. When I was young, I broke into the tombs of powerful people and explored secret realms that no one had ever set foot in, but when I got older, I became afraid of death… Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Since you’ve made up your mind, then go. Take this, use it for self-defense.”
Qin Shimeng respectfully took the three light gray talisman that An Yufang took out. “Excuse me, Master, what is this?”
“I’ve recorded my sword moves inside, which are about the level of a mid-stage Nascent Soul. If anyone dares to attack you, just throw one out. Regardless of whether you kill the other party or not, if they have accomplices , they will definitely not dare to make things difficult for you again if they see that you still have two talismans.”
“Thank you, Master.” Qin Shimeng could feel An Yufang’s subtle concern. This sword talisman was definitely prepared for her in advance, just like the Quenching Spirit Flower. Otherwise, with An Yufang’s late-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, let alone whether anyone would be her enemy, even if they were, she would not need a Nascent Soul-stage sword charm.
“I’ll take my leave first.”
“Don’t be in a hurry to leave, there’s more.” An Yufang took out many more precious defensive artifacts for Qin Shimeng. Qin Shimeng did not refuse too much, because if she could take them out, it meant that they were definitely for her use. After all, this was not some polite gift.
“Alright, as long as the people you meet aren’t idiots, I believe they won’t become your enemies. Don’t trust anyone on your way. Find a few companions in the sect to go with you.”
“Yes, disciple understands.”
After Qin Shimeng left, An Yufang sighed, her eyelids twitching.
Powerful cultivators began to comprehend the Heavenly Dao, and could vaguely sense what was going to happen. Itching eyelids were usually not a good sign, but she couldn’t possibly raise Qin Shimeng like a flower in a greenhouse. She had already taken good care of her by giving her those self-defense items.
“I hope she will be safe.”
