Chapter 171 Three people gathered together No matter how weak a normal sect is, it will have clear orders prohibiting fellow disciples from harming or killing each other. It is not enough to simply ban it. There is also a very strict set of punishment methods that can serve as a warning to others and can really shock the public. Although their Guixu Sect also has a clear ban on killing each other among fellow disciples, it is just a clear ban. If one really breaks the sect's rules, at most he will be lectured, but there will be no substantial punishment. Especially... those inner disciples who all have their own masters as their backers. If they killed their fellow disciples in the secret realm, it would be difficult to deal with them since they had equal status and position. But if they killed an outer disciple, then everything would be easy. In the eyes of outer disciples, lives are worthless and people are dispensable. The Guixu Sect only has three years to recruit disciples. Just three years. Those little kids with spiritual roots in the mortal world can undergo great changes in three years, and during these three years, their sect will also lose many people. The old dies and the new takes its place, as if there is no end to life. All the mortal cities near Guixu Sect are trying their best to send their children with spiritual roots into the sect. It doesn't matter whether their spiritual roots are good or bad. As long as they enter the sect, they can get a considerable sum of gold and silver.
There is never a shortage of people, so I never care. Zhou Ling lowered his eyes and sighed, gently put down his mother's rolled-up sleeves, and patted the back of her hand. Now they can only be thankful. Fortunately, when Shengguo Sect was in trouble, Guixu Sect did not go to help, so they did not discover that she could activate the sword talisman, and did not bring her back to the sect to be accepted as a disciple. She couldn't even imagine what her life would be like now if she had been forced into Guixu Sect to become a disciple. Perhaps the moment it was detected that she had only five spiritual roots, she was thrown into the outer sect to become an outer sect disciple. Then one's life is in the hands of those in higher positions, and life or death depends entirely on the mood of those inner disciples. My mother was right, these people are crazy and scary. "Let's go and meet up with Senior Brother Liu." Seeing that his daughter was in a low mood, Zhou Li did not continue to lead the topic in this direction. Although she didn't tell the whole story, she made her daughter understand that if she meets people from Guixu Sect next time, she should avoid them if possible and avoid meeting them, otherwise they can't afford to suffer this loss! The journey was a thousand times smoother than when they were not together. Zhou Ling didn't care too much about it. After all, her mother had lost too much blood. Even if the wound healed, her essence and blood would still need more rest before they could slowly recover. Now the mother and daughter were sitting on a small boat, driven by Zhou Ling, and they were moving very slowly. She had been using her spiritual sense and mental strength to explore whether there was any danger in the environment they were in. Walking slowly means walking steadily, and it also means that Zhou Li is more certain of that guess in his heart. As long as the mother and daughter act separately, danger and trouble will always come to them from various tricky angles. But as long as the mother and daughter are together, they have a sense that negative and positive things can turn into positive things. The danger is gone, the trouble is reduced, and even the road becomes smoother. It seems that except for this kind of force majeure factor, they should not separate in the future, at least... until they become strong and can deal with all kinds of troubles. Although Zhou Ling was not clear about this coincidence, she knew that the reason she could walk so steadily and not encounter any danger was because she had been diligently exploring the road ahead and controlling the precise direction of the spirit boat. The stability along the way was the result of her hard work.
Steady means slow. Only by walking slowly can you see scenery that you have never noticed before. In order to take care of her mother's health and avoid danger, she wished she could take three days to walk the distance that could be covered in one day. When they were about to reach their destination, the sunstones in the sky gradually rotated and were replaced by moonstones. It was the first time that Zhou Ling saw that there were simulated forms of the sun and the moon in this secret realm. It's like a carefully designed program, with day and night alternating every three days, and time moves relatively slowly. Of course, this is all normal. The passage of time in the secret realm is not the same as outside. It was the first time for Zhou Ling and Zhou Li to see the darkness in this secret realm. It was also the first time they saw Liu Zhen’s almost half-crippled body thrown high up along with the moonstone rising high. In the distance, something like a human figure was seen, as if it was knocked into the air, overlapping with the fake moon hanging obliquely in the sky, and rising straight into the sky. The difference is that although the moonstone moves slowly, it only moves upwards and never falls down, while the figure-like thing only stays in the air for a short time before starting to fall straight down. After all, he is a teammate with them. The journey to the secret realm has just begun. Can Zhou Ling ignore him? In such a short distance, Lingzhou's speed was increased again and again, and finally he caught Senior Brother Liu before he landed on the ground. It was only when they got closer that they saw that what knocked Liu Zhen away was actually a magical animal...it was not sure whether it was a cow or a horse. "Junior sister! Quickly... run! This monster has great endurance. You can't fight it. You can't fight it, or you will be exhausted to death!" Feeling that someone had caught him and his life was saved, Liu Zhen opened his eyes with great difficulty. However, his eyes were so swollen that he could not see clearly even after opening them. He was very happy when he vaguely recognized that it was Zhou Ling, the reliable little girl, but then his alarm bells went off. This place is dangerous and not a place a little girl like her with low cultivation level can come to. If he died, that would be his fate, but if he dragged this junior sister into death for no reason, he would die of guilt first! So the first thing he said was to persuade him to run away. "Why are you running? This kind of monster is rare. It's our chance if we see it. Brother, tell me, do you still want to earn spirit stones?" The three words "earn spirit stones" were like a blow to Liu Zhen's head. "But I can't beat him!" Of course he wanted to earn spirit stones! As an outer disciple, if he couldn't earn spirit stones, his path to advancement would be completely cut off. But now is not the time to risk your life for the sake of money. "Who said we can't beat it? There are three of us now. Even if we work together, we can't beat a small cow or horse?" That’s right, this thing that looks like both a cow and a horse is indeed called an ox-horse beast. The name was given by humans, who probably thought it was more appropriate to call it that. This thing is like a walking, shining treasure. Every part of its body, whether it is fur, bones, or even its blood, is a treasure. If you hunt one in the secret realm and sell it after getting out, you can earn enough resources for at least the next hundred years of cultivation. "Three... three people?" Liu Zhen was a little puzzled. He looked behind Zhou Ling, but there was no one there. There were indeed only the two of them. (End of this chapter)
