Chapter 955 -343: Purple Shadow Mountain, Golden Bodhi Date! Outside the Purple Shadow Secret Realm. “Uh!?” The expression of a Nascent Soul Immortal from the Spirit Taming Sect suddenly turned grim. Whenever they sent disciples to the Purple Shadow Secret Realm for training, they would bring along their Soul Plates to confirm any deaths within the realm. After all, these disciples were not all unparalleled geniuses, but each could be considered outstanding. If there was a widespread occurrence of death, it would suggest a special situation had arisen, and they would have to take measures to terminate the venture into the secret realm. Right now, although there hadn’t been a mass fatality, just now, three Soul Plates in his Storage Bag had shattered at around the same time! Such an incident was extremely rare! The deaths of three disciples at almost the same time suggested a high probability they encountered danger together. “Now should not yet be the time to reach the central area, how could…” “And among these three Soul Plates, this Tuoba Lie I remember has divine power, strength out of the ordinary…” The face of the Nascent Soul Immortal from the Spirit Taming Sect was grave. “What is it, Black Wind Immortal? Could it be that a disciple of your sect encountered some accidents in the secret realm?” The nearby Qingyun Sect Immortal, stroking his beard, said with a smile. “Hmph, this Immortal merely thought of some matters.” The Spirit Taming Sect Immortal stood with his hands behind his back, speaking without any niceties. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚 Though the Purple Shadow Secret Realm was merely a training ground, it still held some competitive significance for the Four Great Immortal Sects. Therefore, even if his own disciples had just died, he wouldn’t admit it, for fear of losing face. After all, it was just three disciples; the final outcome depended on who would have the last laugh. “Oh? Since we’re idly waiting, Black Wind Immortal, would you be interested in making a bet…” The Qingyun Sect Immortal said with an unchanged smile. At their level, Heavenly and Earthly Treasures of use were very rare and difficult to purchase with Spirit Stones. So they often bartered or traded for them. Seeing an opportunity now, he naturally thought of securing some benefit through this method. “Since Immortal Li is interested, this Immortal will naturally oblige!” The Spirit Taming Sect Immortal said. There’s a saying: one may lose but should never lose face. If he were to refuse, it would appear as though he were afraid of the opponent! Moreover, he had some confidence in his own disciples. After all, the disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect were battle-hardened, incomparable to those from Qingyun and Luoxia Sects. The recent three likely encountered some unforeseen circumstances. … “I wonder how Ping’an, Quanzhen, and Qingshan are doing right now.” Lu Changsheng sat cross-legged at a distance, his expression very calm. With the Lu Family Genealogy, he was clearly aware of his children’s life and death status. He couldn’t help but feel a bit worried seeing the occasional Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s expression suddenly change drastically. However, seeing the calm and composed expression of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators from Golden Dragon Ridge, he guessed that Lu Quanzhen hadn’t run into a disciple of the Jin Family. This made Lu Changsheng think that he could judge his son’s situation through the expressions of those from the Jin Family. … In the Purple Shadow Secret Realm, within a dense forest. “Ts, ts, ts, this person really had a backup plan…” Lu Quanzhen was sorting through the Storage Bags he had obtained and couldn’t help but click his tongue in wonder upon seeing a Talisman Treasure inside Tuoba Lie’s Storage Bag. However, this was also because the person was too arrogant, and Lu Ping’an’s combat power was surprisingly formidable. Under normal circumstances, who would have thought that a Energy Refining Cultivator could be so fierce in battle. Lu Quanzhen had once participated in the battle at White Tiger Mountain and was aware of the strength of Foundation Establishment. Lu Ping’an’s punch was not inferior to that of his Uncle Li’s offensive moves, even possibly surpassing them. In such a fleeting moment, the opponent had no chance to respond at all. Unless the person alongside the woman had defended with full power from the start or deployed the Talisman Treasure, it would have been a dead end all the same! But how could someone as unbending and unruly as Tuoba Lie confront someone with full force right from the beginning? This served as a reminder to Lu Quanzhen not to underestimate anyone in the world. With the outcome of life and death undecided, one can never truly know the strength of an opponent. Just like his sister Lu Wangshu, who had just come of age. A fifth-level Energy Refining Cultivator, yet she was able to produce dozens of talismans, including Second Rank Talismans, and set up a Talisman Formation. Had one underestimated and belittled her, even a peak Energy Refining Cultivator might have died at her hands. “Hiss, my family’s situation seems a bit too astonishing, doesn’t it!?” At that moment, Lu Quanzhen suddenly realized that his family’s situation seemed a bit exaggerated. Whether it was the brother beside him, his brother Lu Qingshan who had recently returned home, or his sister Lu Wangshu who had just reached adulthood, any one of them could be called a genius! Placed in any other Foundation Establishment Family, each would be considered a top-tier seed that could lead the family to greater heights. Yet his own family had three such individuals in just a few years! If it weren’t for his encounter with his uncle, he wouldn’t be able to hold a candle to the three of them. Plus, he remembered there were a few siblings at home with quite rapid Cultivation speeds who hadn’t participated in the family’s spirit testing ceremony at the age of six. “Hiss…” Lu Quanzhen’s eyes showed a thoughtful expression. He shook his head, not thinking further, and finished sorting through the thirteen Storage Bags he had collected. There weren’t many Spirit Stones inside, totaling less than a thousand in all. But there were thirty-three Magic Artifacts! Six Middle Grade, nineteen High Quality, and eight Top-grade Magic Artifacts! It just goes to show that everyone entering the Purple Shadow Secret Realm would use their Spirit Stones to purchase Magic Artifacts, Elixir Medicines, Talismans, and so on. Besides the Magic Artifacts, other gains were mainly Spiritual Herbs and Medicines. Lu Quanzhen made a rough estimate; the gains from slaying these three individuals amounted to roughly twenty to thirty thousand Spirit Stones. “Phew!” At that moment, Lu Ping’an opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid energy. He was only grappling with the shock to his vitality, and with the use of Elixir Medicines, it wouldn’t take long for him to recover. “Big brother, I just sorted through these Storage Bags. You can make use of these Magic Artifacts.”
