Inside the grand hall of Yin Ming Hall, the atmosphere was solemn and austere. The Hall Master sat at the head of the table, his piercing gaze sweeping over the disciples kneeling below. I lowered my head, my heart pounding like a drum, fearing that I might be eliminated. 0
 
"The Secret Realm Adventure is of great importance," the Hall Master said in a deep voice. "I have selected twenty elite disciples to embark on this journey immediately." 0
 
I held my breath, straining to listen. 0
 
"...Lin Qingyue." 0
 
Hearing my name, I suddenly looked up in disbelief. I had actually been chosen! 0
 
Amidst my excitement, an ominous premonition surged within me. I closed my eyes and focused on my inner energy, trying to glimpse the future. Vague images flashed through my mind: I found myself in a perilous situation, and a shadowy figure descended from above to rescue me. 0
 
Opening my eyes, I felt a sense of caution wash over me. This expedition into the secret realm would likely be fraught with danger. 0
 
Under the Hall Master's leadership, our team set off toward the secret realm. Along the way, my fellow disciples were lively and excited, chatting about the treasures they were about to acquire. Meanwhile, I was weighed down by worries, remaining vigilant at all times. 0
 
After passing through numerous barriers, we finally arrived at the entrance of the secret realm. The Hall Master raised his hand and cautioned, "Be careful; remember that greed can lead to ruin." 0
 
Before he finished speaking, everyone eagerly rushed inside. Taking a deep breath, I followed them into the secret realm. 0
 
As soon as I entered, my surroundings opened up before me. Exotic flowers and strange grasses grew everywhere, and the spiritual energy was so rich it felt almost tangible. However, beneath this beautiful scenery lay hidden dangers. I saw a senior brother who was too greedy reach out to pluck a vibrant flower, only to have its petals cut his finger. 0
 
"Be careful!" I quickly warned others. "The plants here are all poisonous!" 0
 
Only then did everyone become more cautious and began to explore carefully. Using my foresight ability, I avoided numerous traps and mechanisms. 0
 
Suddenly, a fragrant scent wafted through the air, refreshing and delightful. Following the aroma, I arrived at a secluded valley where a small grass plant grew vibrantly green, its leaves adorned with glistening dew drops. 0
 
"Nine-Leaf Spirit Grass!" I exclaimed in surprise. This was the main ingredient for crafting the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill; if I could obtain it, it would surely elevate my cultivation to new heights. 0
 
I approached cautiously and reached out to pick it. Just then, I heard a crack beneath my feet; my heart sank as I realized something was wrong. 0
 
Sure enough, in the next moment, the ground collapsed beneath me, and I fell into darkness. Desperately grabbing onto vines on the cave walls, they kept breaking under my weight as I plunged deeper. Just as I was about to fall into an abyss, I closed my eyes in despair. 0
 
At that critical moment, a strong hand grasped my wrist. Opening my eyes, I saw a familiar handsome face staring back at me. 0
 
 
"Xie Wuyuan?" I looked at the person in front of me in disbelief. 0
 
Without saying a word, he pulled me up with a strong tug. I stumbled but managed to steady myself. Before I could thank him, he turned to leave. 0
 
"Wait!" I called out to him. "Thank you for saving me." 0
 
Xie Wuyuan paused, glanced back at me, and said lightly, "It was nothing." 0
 
I was taken aback; I hadn't expected him to respond. I remembered how indifferent he had always been towards me in the past. Was it just my illusion? 0
 
"Um... how did you end up here?" I asked cautiously. 0
 
He was silent for a moment before speaking. "I've been protecting you from the shadows." 0
 
Now it was my turn to be surprised. I instinctively took a step back, watching him warily. "Why?" 0
 
He seemed a bit helpless. "Because you are... never mind, you don't need to know too much." 0
 
I frowned, feeling that there was more to his words. But seeing his unwillingness to elaborate, I decided not to press further. 0
 
"Well... thank you again," I said, turning to leave. 0
 
"Wait." This time, it was Xie Wuyuan who called out to me. 0
 
I turned back, looking at him with confusion. 0
 
Xie Wuyuan hesitated for a moment before finally saying, "Be careful of those elders; they are not good people." 0
 
I was stunned. Xie Wuyuan was actually warning me? This completely overturned my impression of him. Could it be that he wasn't as cold and heartless as the rumors suggested? 0
 
Looking into his slightly softened gaze, I suddenly felt a wave of warmth wash over me. 0
 
I quickly shook my head, trying to dispel these strange thoughts. No, I couldn't develop any odd feelings for him. I was here to change my fate, not to fall in love! 0
 
 
"Thank you for the reminder," I replied coolly, "I'll be careful." 0
 
After saying that, I turned and quickly walked away. But after taking a few steps, I couldn't help but glance back. Xie Wuyuan was still standing there, looking at me with a complicated expression. 0
 
A shiver ran through me, and I hurried my pace. Yet, my mind involuntarily replayed the scenes from just moments ago. 0
 
Could it be... the plot is starting to unravel? 0
 
I shook my head, casting those thoughts aside. The most important thing now was to leave the secret realm as soon as possible and refine pills to enhance my cultivation. 0
 
Once back at Yin Ming Hall, I immediately entered seclusion to refine pills. For three days and nights, without rest, I finally succeeded in creating a Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill. 0
 
The moment I took the pill, I felt a surge of spiritual power within me, and my cultivation directly broke through to the late Foundation Establishment stage. 0
 
Looking at myself in the mirror, I couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. This trip to the secret realm was fraught with danger, but the rewards were plentiful. 0
 
However, Xie Wuyuan's words still lingered in my mind. What issues did those elders have? How should I guard against them? 0
 
Questions swirled in my mind, but I knew it wasn't time to seek answers yet. I needed to continue growing stronger to survive in this perilous world. 0
 
Taking a deep breath, I clenched my fists. No matter what awaits me ahead, I will forge ahead without hesitation! 0
