Duan Jiuqing picked up Zhou Yinyu and ran to the Spirit Spring, regardless of the fact that his soul was out of body and could not touch the Spirit Spring. He placed Zhou Yinyu in the Spirit Spring, stimulated the daoist heart that was broken into a small piece, and mobilized the spiritual energy in the Spirit Spring to continuously pour into Zhou Yinyu’s body.
It wasn’t until dawn that Zhou Yinyu slowly woke up. The Spirit Spring nourished him for half the night. He was not in as much pain as he was before he fell into a coma, but he still had no strength to speak.
“Shizun, I…” Duan Jiuqing stood next to Spirit Spring and looked at him motionless. For a moment, he really thought that Zhou Yinyu would die in his hands. He hated him, he should be happy to see him in such a mess. But he couldn’t be happy, he seemed to hate himself even more.
“Scram.”
Zhou Yinyu uttered a feeble word and closed his eyes without looking at him.
“Shizun, if you were more obedient, I would not let you suffer like this…”
Why do you always hate me so much… Actually, I didn’t want to hurt you like this…
“Scram!”
Duan Jiuqing looked at the person in Spirit Spring, standing there for a long time, and finally turned around and left.
After he left, Zhou Yinyu opened his eyes. He thought about the absurdity of yesterday, being forced by this beast to relieve himself.
Duan Jiuqing!
…
There wasn’t much time for Zhou Yinyu to adjust his breathing. He only fell asleep for a short while before the sky lit up. Faintly hearing the clanging sound coming from the sect’s big bell, Zhou Yinyu shook his head and came out of the Spirit Spring holding his waist.

By the time he finished cleaning up, Qian Jiang was already waiting outside Fuyun Palace. There were no other disciples in Fuyun Peak and the cloud boat for Fuyun Peak only had them.
Along the way, Qian Jiang didn’t dare to talk. He just felt that the shizun’s aura was too low today. Not only did he look unwell, but he also seemed to be in a bad mood.
“Shizun, we are almost at the All Spirits Secret Realm.” Qian Jiang came over and carefully brought a cup of tea.
“Zc.”
Itbe Tlcse abbx atf afj jcv abbx j rlq, atfc qea la vbkc lwwfvljafis jcv mbcalcefv ab gfra klat tlr fsfr mibrfv.
Qian Jiang stared at the cup of tea that had only been sipped once for a long time and sighed inaudibly. He knew that shizun loved to drink tea. In the past, making tea was done by his shidi, but after his disappearance, shizun rarely drank tea.
After getting off the cloud boat, the elders of each peak sent messages to give instructions to their disciples. Shizun never said anything. Qian Jiang felt a little depressed before preparing to bid farewell to shizun and enter the secret realm.
“Pc atf rfmgfa gfjiw, atfgf jgf wjcs bqqbgaeclalfr yea jirb wjcs vjcufgr. Cr sbeg afjmtfg, P mjccba fjrlis tfiq sbe.

Qian Jiang’s originally depressed mood was instantly wiped away, “Thank you, shizun! Disciple will remember.”
Zhou Yinyu watched Qian Jiang and a group of disciples enter the secret realm, and was about to return to the cloud boat to rest when a voice suddenly came from nearby, “Fifth shidi, this All Spirits Secret Realm only opens once in a hundred years. Why don’t we go in and have a look together?” It was Nan Ziqi, the third elder. He was holding a green jade fan in his hand and looking at Zhou Yinyu with a smile.
“If the disciples encounter any danger inside, we can rush over in time.” He probably saw that Zhou Yinyu didn’t want to go, so he continued calmly.
Zhou Yinyu always felt that this third senior brother was always flawless in his dealings with others. He always spoke in a moderate manner when talking to people and didn’t make people feel uncomfortable. He felt too awkward to refuse, so the two of them entered the secret realm together.
As soon as they entered, they could feel the difference from the outside. The secret realm was filled with blooming flowers, and coupled with the nourishment of strong spiritual power, just standing here made people feel physically and mentally refreshed.
The two of them looked at each other in silence for a moment, then Nan Ziqi spoke again, “Shidi came here not looking very well. I happen to have some elixirs here that nourish qi and blood. They were refined for several disciples before, and there is an extra bottle. If shidi doesn’t mind, it doesn’t hurt to take it.”
Zhou Yinyu frowned slightly and looked down and saw a bottle of elixir in Nan Ziqi’s hand. He thought for a moment and accepted it, “Yinyu thanks shixiong.”
“Shidi, it’s better to practice the exercises step by step to avoid physical and mental fatigue.”
Zhou Yinyu knew that the third senior brother cared about him, but he didn’t know how to respond to his words. He didn’t practice any techniques, he just had his spiritual power locked up and tortured for two nights.
He didn’t answer, and Nan Ziqi didn’t ask any more questions, which made Zhou Yinyu breathe a sigh of relief unconsciously.
Everyone said that he was aloof and cold-tempered, and he felt that they were right. It was true that he has never been very fond of getting close to others and he didn’t have much contact with his fellow disciples. He didn’t like it when he couldn’t find words to say.
But strangely, he didn’t feel this way when he was with the third senior brother. The third senior brother had a certain degree of advance and retreat, and he felt relaxed when getting along with him.
When Zhou Yinyu was lost in his mind, he suddenly sensed that Qian Jiang had stirred the spiritual power he left behind.
“Shixiong, Qian Jiang may be in danger. I’ll go over and take a look.”
Nan Ziqi told him to take care of himself. They were the only two elders leading the team, so he had to stay and look after the other disciples.
Zhou Yinyu followed the guidance of spiritual power and found a cave. It was pitch black inside. Standing outside, he could faintly feel the miasma coming from the depths of the cave. It seemed that this cave was not simply that.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to lift his feet to go in. Suddenly he felt something passing by his side and the wind gently lifted the corners of his clothes.
“Who is it!” Zhou Yinyu formed a Fuyun Whip in his palm and swept it directly behind him. His Fuyun Whip was a superior spiritual weapon with considerable power. Sure enough, a crack sound was heard immediately, and the sweep hit. Then there was a muffled groan.
This sound…
No matter who he was, the one being all secretive in this secret real was definitely not a good person. Zhou Yinyu raised the Fuyun Whip and was about to strike again, but he was grabbed by the wrist and pulled into someone’s arms.
“Shizun, your body has not recovered yet. Don’t use your spiritual power.”
Sure enough, it was not a good person.
Zhou Yinyu became even more enraged when he saw the visitor. Seeing that he dared to be so frivolous, he became even more angry, “Duan Jiuqing! Get away!”
“Shizun’s Fuyun Whip is still as powerful as before.” Duan Jiuqing did not obey and go away. Instead, he rubbed his hands on Zhou Yinyu’s shoulder and muttered.
Zhou Yinyu was startled by what he said. He knew what Duan Jiuqing was referring to.
“Wu…” Just as he was stunned for a moment, Duan Jiuqing suddenly kissed his lips. Zhou Yinyu was at the waves he caused. After last night, it was already his limit to endure not killing him. Now on this clear day, he dared to do such, such…
But unlike what Zhou Yinyu thought, Duan Jiuqing quickly let him go, “What did you feed me?”
Duan Jiuqing watched his shizun take two steps back as if he was a god of plague and felt sour in his heart. He knew that he had indeed gone too far last night. He didn’t blame his shizun, it was all his own fault.
“Shizun, the original road in this cave was collapsed by shixiong and it is full of miasma. The demonic core is inherently evil, and the miasma can’t do anything to it. Moreover, this disciple’s demonic core has been cultivated to the Mahayana level. It can, it can nourish your body.”
Zhou Yinyu really didn’t expect that what Duan Jiuqing gave him was his demonic core. The demonic core was equivalent to a demon’s lifeline. Once the demonic core suffered heavy damage, his cultivation would be destroyed.
The higher the demonic cultivation level, the more the demonic core would evolve accordingly. Duan Jiuqing had already taken the position of the Demon Leader, and his demonic core was indeed as effective as he said.
Not only would the demonic cultivators compete for the cores of the immortal cultivators in order to grow their cultivation, but the immortal cultivators would also in turn compete for the cores of the high-level demonic cultivators.
“Do you think I won’t kill you? Duan Jiuqing, don’t play such childish tricks to test me!” Zhou Yinyu stepped forward and grabbed Duan Jiuqing’s neck and threw him against the stone wall outside the cave.
