Chapter 417: Chapter 416: This Girl is a Killing God

The Secret Realm had completely closed.

The people from the various Great Sects left one after another.

A Nascent Soul Elder from the Tianxu Sect controlled the Flying Boat, which was also on its way back, and there had been no movement on the second floor for three consecutive days.

Xie Jiuniang inquired of the Sect Elder.

The Sect Elder said they were still administering treatment, which made Xie Jiuniang’s heart sink.

"Kid from Danfeng, come up and help."

Mo Chuan suddenly received a transmission from Lord Sujin.

Because of the Mo Family’s affair in Medical Immortal Valley, Mo Chuan had practically become invisible lately, either going out for experience or closing up for cultivation, rarely appearing in front of others. If not for the need for a spot in the Secret Realm, he would not have chosen to return to the Sect. Even now, many in the Sect still thought he was out gaining experience.

But he could fool others, just not the powerful cultivators accompanying the group.

Because they would get the list of disciples who went to the Secret Realm.

On it, naturally, was his name.

Thus, everyone saw an ordinary-looking Sect member stand up and walk towards the second floor of the Flying Boat; the Sect Elders saw him but did not intercept.

"Who is he? Which peak is he from?" a disciple whispered, asking.

The others looked at each other with blank expressions.

Turns out, not a single person knew.

Ren Bingyan’s phoenix eyes flickered; she looked towards Xie Jiuniang who was guarding the stairs to the second floor, guessing in her heart but not daring to speak out in public.

Xie Jiuniang knew who this person was.

If both Lords sought Mo Chuan’s help, it could only mean that Raoyang’s condition was more troublesome than she had imagined.

Someone came down from the second floor.

The Nascent Soul Elder scanned the crowd, "Who has Rootless Water and the millennium Floating Silver Holy Flower? The Sect will borrow it from you for now, and upon return, you will be compensated with an equal portion plus a reward."

The hall was very quiet.

So-called Rootless Water is the water that has yet to reach the ground from the first snow, morning dew, and fine rain - it’s said to be very pure and free of impurities. Occasionally, medical cultivators use it in making medicine, and most often, literary scholars go to the effort of collecting it to brew tea with.

They say tea made with Rootless Water has the fragrance of heavenly nectar.

In reality, it’s just a cup of tea, and the spiritual energy is scarce.

So, normal cultivators who want to brew tea use Spiritual Spring Water.

They were here to train in the Secret Realm, not even sure of their safety.

Who would bring Rootless Water? To brew tea in the Secret Realm?

The Floating Silver Holy Flower, however, is easier to understand as it’s the nemesis of Bloodthirsty Insects.

The Dragon Gate Secret Realm has jungles full of Bloodthirsty Insects, and everyone prepared a flower before entering, for self-defense; the problem is that millennium-old ones are rare.

Ren Bingyan raised her hand and said, "I have one that’s five hundred years old, will that do?"

"Mine is two hundred years old."

"Mine is only one hundred years."

"Mine is also one hundred years..."

Those who hadn’t used theirs all stood up one after another, but regrettably, no one had any over a thousand years old.

Xie Jiuniang took out what her Master had prepared for her, opened the Spiritual Jade Box and looked inside—a six-hundred-year-old one, "Elder, will this flower do?"

"The millennium-old one would be best."

The Nascent Soul Elder was also helpless, "The one that injured your brother Raoyang is the Insect King."

Upon hearing this, the people in the hall drew a cold breath.

To encounter the Insect King and still be alive upon leaving the Secret Realm was an extreme stroke of luck; they had never heard of anyone who had encountered the Insect King and lived to tell the tale. Brother Raoyang was truly formidable.

Just a bit unlucky.

The Nascent Soul Elder asked again, "What about the Rootless Water? Really, no one has it?"

This time, no one spoke.

Nobody had it, including Xie Jiuniang.

Jian Lingyan reminded, "Master, won’t you ask Little Fatty? Little Fatty has a ten-thousand-year-old medicinal garden."

"Little Fatty?"

Xie Jiuniang reached her consciousness into the Small Tortoise Shell.

There was no sign of Little Fatty, who had probably gone into the treasury to plant the Dragon Breath Grass.

Xie Jiuniang said, "I can’t get in touch with him, damn it, can you contact him?"

"I can’t do anything either, let’s wait for him to come out by himself."

The Sword Spirit Jian Lingyan also couldn’t contact Little Fatty.

The Nascent Soul Elder had asked around, and everyone said they didn’t have Rootless Water, so they could only collect the Floating Silver Saint Flowers that were less than a thousand years old, "I’ll take them up and ask if they can be used. The age isn’t sufficient, but we have a larger quantity, maybe it can suppress it somewhat."

Just as the Nascent Soul Elder spoke.

Xie Jiuniang stopped him, "Wait a moment, Elder, may I look again?"

"Look again?"

The Nascent Soul Elder looked puzzled.

Xie Jiuniang nodded earnestly, "I’ll search again."

Then, everyone present witnessed Xie Jiuniang take out one Storage Bag or Storage Ring after another, laying out all the items related to water and those containing Floating Silver Saint Flowers in the Spiritual Jade Boxes.

A considerable pile of items.

Over a hundred Floating Silver Saint Flowers, three to four hundred jade bottles, water jugs, and water bags, among other things.

The Floating Silver Saint Flower has only five petals within a hundred years and is all silvery-white, giving a sense of sacred purity, which is also the origin of its name.

The price on the market isn’t cheap; a flower less than a hundred years old costs thirty to forty thousand Spirit Stones. Those over a hundred years are more expensive, starting at a hundred thousand. As for how to distinguish their age, it’s quite simple.

The Floating Silver Saint Flowers with less than a hundred years have only five petals, then for every additional hundred years, another petal will grow.

Rootless Water is just water, and to the observer, it appears similar to the lower grade Spiritual Spring Water.

Ordinary people can hardly tell them apart.

Xie Jiuniang herself couldn’t distinguish it either, as in her past and present lives, she never used Rootless Water for brewing tea, so she laid out any clear water she found, just in case.

"Elder, could you please take a look and see if there’s anything you need?" Xie Jiuniang looked at the Elder with hope.

The Elder crouched down and began examining the items one by one.

Indeed, he found a jug of Rootless Water among the pile.

If Rootless Water is gathered at dawn, it possesses a faint fragrance of grass and trees, and this jug of Rootless Water was exactly that, collected from morning dew.

However, there were no Floating Silver Saint Flowers that were a thousand years old.

But then again, given the quantity, it should be enough, right?

So, the Elder took away all of Xie Jiuniang’s Floating Silver Saint Flowers and the bottle of Rootless Water and then went up to the second floor.

Laughter came from upstairs, "How many people has this girl robbed?"

"I don’t know, but I believe the rumors about the great slayer now," another Nascent Soul Elder remarked.

Had rumors about the great slayer spread outside the Secret Realm?

Xie Jiuniang awkwardly pretended she hadn’t heard.

The other disciples behind her unconsciously moved a bit further away from her.

After all, this girl was a slayer.

Xie Jiuniang turned her head and dryly said to everyone, "Don’t believe it, it’s a rumor someone spread in the Secret Realm to ruin my reputation. These Storage Bags and Storage Rings, I found them."

"Yes! She found them, I can testify," Zhan Chengxiu was the first to speak.

Whether found or not, everything had to be claimed as found.

The disciple next to Zhan Chengxiu came to his senses, one of those who had been saved by Xie Jiuniang, he echoed, "She found them, I saw the Little Profiteer pick them up."

"I saw it too," another disciple joined in.

Those who had been saved or helped by Xie Jiuniang one after another stood up to state their position.

Those who knew the truth inwardly cursed shamelessly, as they saw each other blatantly lie, then after cursing, they too stood up and said, "Yes, yes, yes, indeed she found them."

And then they looked towards those who hadn’t taken a stance yet.

Ren Bingyan had no choice but to say, "They were found, indeed. Yuanxi Junior Sister has a clean aura, without any blood or evil qi. Usually, those who kill a lot will inevitably have such qi..."

Everyone deliberately looked over at Xie Jiuniang.

Indeed!

A very clean young girl, without a hint of the smell of blood on her.

What amazed them the most was that she had become stronger again!

No matter what the thoughts of those in the hall.

Just at that moment, a sudden change occurred outside.

The Sect Elder’s face paled, as two people rushed out of the Flying Boat.

"Which fellow Daoist is lurking in the shadows? Would you dare come out and reveal your name?"

A voice of a Nascent Soul Elder roared from outside.
