Free Web NovelQian Bingning, as the team's combat floor, was quite self-aware; to enhance his cousin's survivability, he also put in a lot of effort in the previous battle.
Cough.
He looted quite a few corpses.
Finally, everyone looked at Yue Lingren and Huang Huaqiang.
Yue Lingren said, "I just got one from Yue Lingxue and gave it to Suì Wǎn."
He was already SSS-rank, so he still needed to maintain his aura as a big shot.
Huang Huaqiang covered his mouth and coughed dryly, "Miss, I was busy fighting at the time..."
Mingxi was too lazy to waste words and directly offered two teleportation tokens, handing them to Huang Huaqiang and Yue Lingren.
And Qian Bingning, without anyone needing to give him a look, very consciously gave one of the tokens to his cousin.
Alas, who told Yue Ling Qianchen he was his biological cousin?
With this, everyone had a teleportation token in their hands; if an unsolvable danger occurred after entering the passage, they should immediately crush the token.
"If nothing happens, return the token to me!" He bared his teeth at his cousin.
This was a life-saving item; although it needed to be crushed to activate, as long as one was cautious enough, there was no need to worry about not being quick enough.
Yue Ling Qianchen glared at him, annoyed, "Am I still your biological cousin?"
"Hehe."
Even close brothers settle accounts clearly.
"Young friend, that Dragon Claw Orb should be your spoils of war..."
Mingxi smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Blade Old, no need to say more. I won't take that item; it's too sinister. If you continue to use it in the future, it's best to be careful.
You should be clearer than I am about the dangers of living items."
What she didn't say was that this item also came from the Descent Organization; who knew if those perverts had tampered with it?
Mingxi believed Yue Lingren knew what he was doing.
"This old man understands."
Finally, the few of them meticulously searched the deep pit again, ensuring no good items were left for later arrivals, then one by one, they walked into that 'door'.
...
Yue Ling No. 3 Secret Land entrance.
When the stone pillar changed, the responsible guard immediately notified the elder stationed nearby.
A group of people rushed over.
"What's going on? Why did the Stone Pillar Gate suddenly open?"
"Have the results of the competition been released?"
"No, the Cloud Mirror Pool has not received anyone."
The Cloud Mirror Pool was a small pond about a hundred meters from the stone pillar; even though this area was becoming increasingly desertified, that small pond remained unaffected.
Moreover, if the main sacrificial position was activated, the successfully activated candidate successor would be directly teleported into the Cloud Mirror Pool.
The same applied if only one person remained among the twelve sacrificial positions.
Therefore, the final successor would inevitably appear within the Cloud Mirror Pool.
However, the Secret Land passage opened before the successor was even determined, which was an unprecedented situation.
"Then why did this Stone Pillar Gate open?"
The three elders exchanged glances, their expressions growing increasingly grim; they all thought of a certain possibility.
"...Could it be... everyone died??"
No one spoke.
Because everyone thought the same.
At this moment, a body as robust as a wild ox stepped out of the passage and, seeing the three elders who looked as if they had lost a parent, cheerfully greeted them.
"Yo, everyone's here."
The three elders: "..."
"Blade Old! It's over! Something really big has happened! There's no movement from the Cloud Mirror Pool, but you came ◈ Nоvеlіgһт ◈ (Continue reading) out first. We speculate that Suì Wǎn and the others all, all... are gone..."
"Alas, that girl Suì Wǎn is a pity."
"And that brat Qianchen, I originally thought one of them would succeed, alas!"
"Suì Wǎn is gone. Who among you will inform the patriarch and madam about this?"
Yue Ling Suiwan, who had just stepped one foot out of the passage: "..."
...
Because of the significant changes in the successor competition, the Yue Ling Clan was bound to make big moves in the coming period. As an outsider, Mingxi naturally found it inconvenient to continue participating.
So, after receiving a large number of 'gifts' and rejecting the offer to become an honored elder of the Yue Ling Clan for the nth time, Mingxi returned to An Ting City in Yingwu Zhou with Zhou Li'an, Qian Bingning, Huang Huaqiang, and Aletai Beifeng.
Zhou Li'an naturally returned to the Gambling Stone Building.
Upon bidding farewell to Mingxi, he also gave Mingxi a Skill Stone.
"Ming Shen, this is something I exchanged from the Treasure Collection Room using my work points from the Treasure Analysis Building over the years. It's an evil-attribute Skill Stone. Thank you for your help this time."
Mingxi, of course, would not refuse good things delivered to her doorstep.
Great favors can lead to animosity. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
Clear financial transactions are good for everyone.
After bidding farewell to Zhou Li'an, Mingxi directly took Qian Bingning and the other two to the outside of the Thousand Stele Forest.
With Bright Crystal there, Mingxi and the others naturally didn't need a wooden token to enter the Thousand Stele Forest, but before that, Mingxi still contacted Principal Shen Najia.
Although Bright Crystal domineeringly believed the Thousand Stele Forest belonged to it, human laws did not recognize its declaration.
The human world only recognized land ownership certificates.
So, the Thousand Stele Forest, in the end, was still an asset of Immortal University.
Therefore, if Mingxi wanted to bring outsiders into the Thousand Stele Forest, she still had to inform Shen Najia.
This was a matter of respect.
"It's possible, but what you're doing actually violates school regulations, so you'll have to compensate the school with 5, no, 10 transit tokens."
Mingxi rolled her eyes. A dignified principal, she wondered if he had fallen into a money pit. Was he really so petty?
Besides, she didn't need the Soul-Returning Grass for herself.
"Don't think I'm asking for it for myself; it's to help you shut up those old geezers!"
I'll believe you when pigs fly.
However, Mingxi was too lazy to argue.
"Fine!"
Huang Huaqiang and Aletai were visiting Xianzong University for the first time, looking around curiously all the way. After entering the Thousand Stele Forest, their curiosity was even more intense.
However, both of them were very disciplined; even when they saw S-rank or even SS-rank materials, their expressions remained unchanged, and they showed no signs of greed.
The Soul-Returning Grass was found quickly.
"It really is Soul-Returning Grass! This is great."
Qian Bingning was so excited he almost turned into Zhang Yike.
After taking the Soul-Returning Grass, they could restore their brain regions. Although they would permanently lose one contracted pet, at least it wouldn't affect their subsequent awakenings.
This was already the best outcome after brain region backlash.
"Bright Crystal and I will guard you. Take the Soul-Returning Grass as soon as possible."
"Okay."
The three naturally trusted Mingxi completely. They immediately each picked a stalk of Soul-Returning Grass and consumed it on the spot.
...
Huang Huaqiang and Aletai were invited by Qian Bingning to stay at his villa. When Mingxi returned to her dorm alone, it was already past eight in the evening.
Shower, eat.
The clock had just struck nine in the evening.
After nearly half a month, the Time Realm finally descended normally.
However, Mingxi didn't plan to extract the accumulated training hours from the past few days today.
Not only was she mentally exhausted, but Golden Yuanbao and the others had also been in a state of nervous tension. She planned to let them rest for two days first.
"Master~~~" Guangguang's high-pitched voice made Mingxi and her seven beasts shiver in unison.
Mingxi: "...Don't mess with me. I'll go get your body tomorrow."
"ヾ(≧∇≦)ノ Thank you, Master!"
"Get lost!"
