Chapter 313: Secret Realm Treasures, Shared Opportunities
After Yun Yao and Chu Mochen worked together to repel the guardian beast and put aside their past grudges, they felt happier than ever before. They knew that the life-and-death battle had not only resolved the knot between them, but also broken a layer of window paper, making their relationship more mellow, like aged fine wine, exuding an intoxicating fragrance in the spiritual power of this secret realm.
At this moment, they were in the depths of the secret realm. The surroundings were quiet and mysterious. The diffuse mist was like a veil, completely isolating this world from the outside world. The air was filled with a strong breath of spiritual power. With every breath, it seemed as if one could feel the spiritual power happily wandering through the meridians, nourishing the tired body. Yun Yao raised her eyes and looked at Chu Mochen, her eyes full of tenderness and trust, and she said softly: "Brother Chu, the spiritual power here is so strong, there must be many treasures hidden here, let's explore around." Chu Mochen nodded slightly, his eyes always staying on Yun Yao, and responded: "Okay, I'll be by your side, and I will definitely not let you fall into danger."
The two walked forward hand in hand, their steps light but with a bit of caution. Not long after, there was a flickering light in front, and what came into view was a strange medicine garden. The garden was full of various herbs. Some plants were small and exquisite, but the leaves were shining with colorful light, as if star fragments were inlaid on them; some vines were thick and winding, with huge flowers blooming on the top, and bursts of strange fragrance emanating from the stamens, which made people feel refreshed and spiritual power surge. Yun Yao has studied pharmacology since childhood. Although she came from the modern world, after traveling through time, she has relied on the help of the system and her own diligence to master the herbal knowledge of this world of cultivation. She showed surprise on her face, stepped quickly into the medicine garden, and murmured: "This is the star leaf grass that only appears once in a hundred years, and this jade spirit flower. If it is refined into an elixir, it will be of great benefit to breaking through the realm!"
Chu Mochen followed behind, looking at Yun Yao's excitement, his mouth corners unconsciously raised, and he joked: "It seems that we are lucky today. With your sharp eyes, Yun Yao, these herbs have found the right owner." Yun Yao's cheeks were slightly red, and she looked back at him with a reproachful look: "Brother Chu always makes fun of me, why don't you help me collect them." After that, the two of them got busy. Yun Yao conjured a spiritual dagger in her hand and carefully cut the roots of the herbs. Each stroke was extremely precise, for fear of damaging the herbs. Chu Mochen was guarding on the side, vigilantly scanning the surroundings to prevent any monsters from attacking.
After collecting the rare herbs in the medicine garden, they continued to move forward. Not far away, they found an ancient stone hall. The door of the stone hall was closed, and it was engraved with runes, exuding a mysterious pressure. Yun Yao frowned and thought. With the help of the system prompt, she knew that these runes were an ancient ban that could only be opened with a specific method of spiritual power. She turned to look at Chu Mochen and told him the method of opening it. The two looked at each other, their minds connected, and they operated their spiritual power at the same time, pressing their hands on the door. In an instant, light bloomed, runes flashed, and the door slowly opened, and an old but majestic breath came to her face.
The hall was spacious, filled with rows of bookshelves filled with ancient books and yellowed scrolls. Yun Yao could not wait to walk to the bookshelf, her eyes eagerly scanning the books one by one. Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and she pulled out a dusty book, gently blew away the dust, and the big words "Ancient Alchemy Experience" on the cover came into view. Yun Yao turned the pages of the book, which detailed many long-lost alchemy secrets, fire control techniques, and unique insights into the characteristics of various rare medicinal materials. "Brother Chu, look! If I study this secret book thoroughly, my alchemy skills will definitely be taken to a higher level. Maybe in the future I can refine elixirs that can help people break through to a higher realm." Yun Yao's voice trembled slightly with excitement.
Chu Mochen was also delighted. He knew that alchemists were highly respected in the world of cultivation. If Yun Yao could shine in alchemy, her future cultivation would be much smoother. He approached Yun Yao and read books with her, exchanging a few thoughts from time to time. Their heads were close together, and their hair was gently entangled in the breeze, which was warm and beautiful.
On the other side of the stone hall, a jade box emitting a soft light attracted Chu Mochen's attention. He walked forward and gently opened the jade box, only to see a jade pendant lying quietly inside. The jade pendant was emerald green, with fine spiritual patterns engraved on it, as if it had life, and spiritual power fluctuations were constantly emanating from it. Chu Mochen picked up the jade pendant and instantly felt a powerful spiritual power pouring into his body, nourishing his meridians. "Yun Yao, look at this jade pendant, it should be a rare magic weapon that increases spiritual power, which will greatly help you and me in our cultivation." He turned to look at Yun Yao, his eyes full of the light of sharing joy.
Yun Yao put down the book in her hand, walked over quickly, and her eyes fell on the jade pendant, with a look of amazement in her eyes: "It is indeed a treasure, Brother Chu, try it on." Chu Mochen put on the jade pendant as he was told, and immediately activated his spiritual power. He saw a bright light around him, and the originally powerful spiritual power was now even more turbulent, like a river bursting its banks. "What a treasure! With it, my strength can be increased by at least 30%." Chu Mochen could not hide his excitement.
Yun Yao smiled and nodded, her heart filled with joy for Chu Mochen. Afterwards, they searched the stone hall again and found some rare items such as healing holy medicines and defensive talismans, all of which were rare treasures in the world of cultivation. After sorting out the harvest one by one, the two returned with a full load and stepped out of the stone hall.
At this time, the mist in the secret realm seemed to become softer, as if celebrating for them. Yun Yao and Chu Mochen walked side by side, holding a storage bag full of treasures in their hands, and their hearts were full of longing for the future. "Brother Chu, this trip to the secret realm is all thanks to you. If you hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid..." Yun Yao said softly, with a trace of fear in her eyes. Chu Mochen reached out and gently held her hand, interrupting: "Silly girl, don't say these. From now on, whether it's life or death, I will never let you fall into danger again."
The two walked and talked, sharing the joy of this harvest, and also planning how to use these treasures to improve their strength. Unknowingly, they came to a pool of water where spiritual power gathered. The water in the pool was clear and the bottom was flickering with tiny lights, as if hiding endless secrets. Yun Yao suddenly had an idea: "Brother Chu, the spiritual power here is pure and rich. Why don't we practice here to consolidate what we have gained today? Maybe we can use the power of this pool to make our strength even better." Chu Mochen nodded in agreement: "That's exactly what I want."
The two found a flat place, sat opposite each other, and began to practice with their eyes closed. Yun Yao practiced the technique, guiding the spiritual power in her body to blend with the spiritual power outside. The medicinal power emitted by the herbs such as Star Leaf Grass and Jade Spirit Flower in her hands also slowly merged into the spiritual power, nourishing her Dantian. Every time the spiritual power circulated around the body, she could feel the meridians widening and the spiritual power becoming more powerful and condensed. Chu Mochen was the same. With the help of the jade pendant's amplification power, he absorbed the majestic spiritual power around the pool. The spiritual power in his body was like a surging wave, constantly impacting the realm barrier.
As she practiced more deeply, Yun Yao's body was shining with light, and a lotus phantom of spiritual power appeared above her head, slowly rotating, with runes flashing on the petals. This was a sign that she was about to break through to the early stage of the Judan realm. Chu Mochen noticed the movement of Yun Yao and was delighted. He increased his spiritual power output to protect her. Under his protection, Yun Yao was focused and made every effort to break through to the realm.
Finally, with a slight sound, Yun Yao's spiritual power exploded, and she successfully broke through to the early stage of the Judan Realm. She opened her eyes, and the light in her eyes was as bright as stars, and her joy was beyond words. "Brother Chu, I broke through!" She cheered and rushed towards Chu Mochen. Chu Mochen opened his arms, caught her steadily, and smiled: "I knew you could do it, congratulations, Yun Yao."
After hugging each other for a while, the two sat down again and continued to consolidate their cultivation. They practiced until the time limit for the secret realm to open was approaching, and then they stood up, ready to leave the secret realm with full harvest and deeper friendship. At this moment, they already knew that no matter what the outside world was like, as long as they walked hand in hand, they would be able to overcome many difficulties and steadily move towards the peak of cultivation. And everything in this secret realm will become the most beautiful memory on their growth path, and will be deeply remembered in their hearts.
When they stepped out of the secret realm, the sun shone on them, as if they were coated with a layer of gold. The disciples of the sect cast envious or jealous glances at them, but Yun Yao and Chu Mochen only had each other in their eyes. They strode forward into the sect, ready to meet new challenges and opportunities and start a new chapter of their legend.
