Ye Ping's misery

“System, search, which path is the best?”

[Ding! Does Revered Master confirm the use of the System search function? Each search consumes 100 years of Lifespan!]

Hearing the System’s voice, Zhou Yuan couldn’t help but smile. 100 years of Lifespan was nothing to him!

“Confirm use!”

[Ding! System searching, currently detecting the optimal route for Revered Master!]

[Revered Master can choose the second route on the left. This path leads directly to the depths of the Secret Realm and is the safest.]

[The other five routes are extremely dangerous, with numerous Formations and Talismanic Incantations. Choosing the wrong one carries the risk of severe injury!]

Hearing the System’s voice, Zhou Yuan’s eyes instantly lit up.

He hadn’t used the System’s search function in a long time and had almost forgotten about it. It seemed he would have to use it more often in the future.

Zhou Yuan didn’t hesitate and directly entered the second path on the left.

With Old Qin’s help, Zhou Yuan passed through several Formations without incident and without causing any damage to them. Zhou Yuan wasn’t going to clear the way for those behind him!

Moreover, Zhou Yuan placed another Five Grade Thunder Explosion Pill on the second path. If anyone chose this path, it would definitely explode!

Zhou Yuan was very curious who would fall for it.

“Young Master, look, that plant ahead is a Thunder Wind Treasure Grass. This is the most important medicinal ingredient for refining Thunder Wind Pills, and its price is extremely expensive!”

Qin Yao’s Divine Soul swept over, discovering a small grass with faint lightning threads a thousand meters away, and he couldn’t help but show a look of surprise.

Zhou Yuan followed Old Qin’s gaze and his eyes also lit up. He quickly rushed forward.

“Roar!”

Just then, a massive giant ape appeared, its Peak Fourth-Grade pressure fully displayed.

This giant ape stood on two feet, nearly five meters tall, giving off a terrifying sense of oppression.

This giant ape was the guardian beast of this Thunder Wind Treasure Grass. Seeing someone approach, how could it be pleased?

Zhou Yuan was startled, but before he could act, the Golden Flood Dragon and the Three-Headed Spirit Snake flew out directly, as fast as lightning.

Before the giant ape could react, the two guys directly latched onto its head.

“Woo woo woo…”

The giant ape’s ferocity instantly disappeared, and its eyes showed fear.

Entangled by two Fifth-Grade Vicious Beasts, how could it dare to resist in the slightest? It looked at Zhou Yuan with a pleading expression.

Zhou Yuan temporarily ignored the giant ape and instead came before the Thunder Wind Treasure Grass, discovering it wasn’t one plant, but two.

However, one was very small, indicating its young age at a glance.

Zhou Yuan naturally wouldn’t do something that would deplete resources. He picked the larger one.

The moment his hand touched the Thunder Wind Treasure Grass, threads of lightning power emerged from it and entered Zhou Yuan’s body.

Zhou Yuan’s Thunder Spiritual Root automatically circulated, completely devouring this thread of lightning power.

Under Qin Yao’s guidance, Zhou Yuan carefully put away the Thunder Wind Treasure Grass. According to Old Qin’s introduction, this was the most important medicinal ingredient for refining an Eighth-Grade Thunder Wind Pill.

Although Zhou Yuan didn’t understand medicinal ingredients, he knew what an Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pill meant!

Even cheap Third-Grade Medicinal Pills cost thousands of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, with expensive ones costing tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands.

Something like an Eighth-Grade Medicinal Pill was absolutely priceless! No one would be willing to sell it.

Zhou Yuan waved his hand, and the Three-Headed Spirit Snake and the Golden Flood Dragon flew to his side, burrowing into his embrace!

The giant ape looked at Zhou Yuan gratefully, then came before the remaining Thunder Wind Treasure Grass, lying there motionless.

As the giant ape breathed, faint threads of lightning power overflowed from the Thunder Wind Treasure Grass, entering the giant ape’s body!

Just as Zhou Yuan began his journey of searching for treasures, a figure appeared at the intersection where Zhou Yuan had just been. It was Ye Ping!

In Ye Ping’s hand, there was an ancient scroll, and on the scroll was a map, precisely the topographic map of the Secret Realm.

This ancient scroll was taken by Ye Ping from a box within the altar.

Ye Ping didn’t tell anyone, including Qu Yanran.

The last time he took Qu Yanran to search, he was rebuffed, which also made Ye Ping quite angry.

If it weren’t for Qu Yanran being the sect Revered Master’s daughter and a woman he had to win over, he wouldn’t even bother to fawn over her!

He had been fawning for many years and was tired of it!

After glancing at the map, Ye Ping didn’t hesitate and directly chose the same path as Zhou Yuan.

Ye Ping was already fantasizing about the scene of him extensively harvesting in the Secret Realm, which would surely make Qu Yanran look at him with new eyes.

With a loud “boom,” Ye Ping let out a shrill scream. He was directly blown tens of meters away.

Ye Ping’s left arm was directly blown off, and his chest was sunken in, causing him to vomit large mouthfuls of blood.

The map in his hand was directly reduced to ashes!

“Revered Master, save me!”

Ye Ping’s eyes showed fear. He hadn’t expected the other party to actually place a Five Grade Thunder Explosion Pill at the only path through the illusion Formation!

“Damn it, I’m going to kill you!”

Ye Ping writhed on the ground in pain, his eyes filled with towering murderous intent and endless resentment.

He was a Genius in others’ eyes, yet he had been repeatedly targeted twice.

There were several wounds on Ye Ping’s face, making him look extremely grotesque.

As Ye Ping’s words fell, a flash of light appeared on his Storage Ring, and a beautiful woman emerged from his ring.

Although this woman was merely a Divine Soul, an endless majesty emanated from her.

Seeing Ye Ping in such a miserable state, the woman frowned tightly, then her Divine Soul swept around, finding nothing.

The woman waved her hand, and the surrounding spiritual Qi rapidly gathered, pouring into Ye Ping’s body.

A moment later, Ye Ping’s external injuries disappeared, but his severed left arm could not temporarily regrow.

This woman’s name was Left Yanxi. During her lifetime, she was a Celestial Phenomenon Realm Peak expert.

Later, she was ambushed and killed, self-detonating her Physical Body, but only her Divine Soul escaped and was hidden in a Soul Nurturing Ring.

Ye Ping accidentally picked it up during a past cultivation experience. With Left Yanxi’s help, he gradually embarked on the path of Cultivation.

It could be said that without Left Yanxi, there would be no Ye Ping today!

“What exactly happened?”

Left Yanxi asked with a grim face.

Ye Ping’s face was ashen. Although his injuries were temporarily stabilized with Left Yanxi’s help, his left arm was truly gone.

Of course, it wasn’t impossible for it to regrow; he could consume his own vital blood to reshape his left arm!

But doing so would leave him weak for a long time and also damage his Foundation.

If he wanted to regrow it without damaging his Foundation, he would need other Heaven And Earth Treasures, but Ye Ping didn’t have any right now!

“Revered Master, I think there’s a damn person secretly targeting me. This is already the second unexpected incident I’ve encountered!”

Ye Ping’s face was ashen as he explained the situation in detail to Left Yanxi! His body was filled with towering murderous intent!
