"Daoist Chu, what else do you wish to know?" Wuming asked, a smile in his eyes as he watched Chu Lingwei's face puff up in anger.
"Wuming, who exactly are you?"
Chu Lingwei glared at Wuming. She wasn't unaware of his identity, and he was truly infuriating right now.
"Wuming."
"Kitty, let's go."
Chu Lingwei was genuinely angered by the answer. She summoned her flying artifact and, with Phantom Cat, turned to leave.
Phantom Cat, sitting on the artifact, watched Wuming standing still, his gaze fixed on Weiwei. Its heart couldn't help but race.
Why did this man's gaze upon Weiwei feel so familiar?
"Weiwei, this man..."
"Don't mention him to me, I don't want to hear it."
Chu Lingwei interrupted Phantom Cat. She was filled with anger. Ever since she arrived on Xuan Tian Continent, there had been little that made her this furious.
She thought she would be able to handle everything with a calm heart, but now she knew she was wrong. There were still some people who could make her exceptionally, exceptionally angry.
"Weiwei, are you angry?" Phantom Cat sensed the change in Chu Lingwei's emotions and felt a pang of worry.
"No." Chu Lingwei took two deep breaths, forcing herself to calm down.
"Kitty, have you noticed that this place has changed?"
Chu Lingwei stood up. They had now left the area of the tornado and arrived at the place where Hua Nian had departed.
"The spiritual energy here seems to have improved." Phantom Cat stood up. Previously, they were at the center of the Spiritual Domain and couldn't perceive the changes in spiritual energy here at all. Now, it could clearly feel the difference.
"Yes, Wuming must have done something."
Chu Lingwei drove her flying artifact and quickly headed towards the place where the cultivators were likely to go.
"Wow, what is this place?" Feng Ming emerged from the space and saw spiritual herbs appearing continuously below. Its eyes lit up. "Weiwei, did you see that? That's a ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herb! Let's quickly collect them."
Chu Lingwei arrived at the spiritual herbs and gently sniffed them. The spiritual energy was rich.
"The poison inside seems to have been cleared away." Phantom Cat looked at Chu Lingwei in disbelief. Only Wuming could have accomplished this.
"That's great!" Feng Ming was ecstatic and began to frantically collect spiritual herbs.
"Weiwei, what do we do now?"
"Encountering these spiritual herbs is our fortune."
With such a significant change in the Spiritual Domain, it likely wouldn't last long. They might be teleported out soon, so it was better to seize the opportunity and gain some benefits.
"Right, the Spiritual Domain should be like an ordinary secret realm now. Everything here is our fortune."
Phantom Cat understood Chu Lingwei's meaning and began, along with Feng Ming, to continuously dig up spiritual herbs and medicinal plants.
With the two of them digging for her, Chu Lingwei began to survey her surroundings. The spiritual beasts from before seemed to have all disappeared, leaving no trace of their presence.
The entire Spiritual Domain was filled with spiritual herbs and medicinal plants as far as the eye could see.
For three full days, no matter how much they – one person and two beasts – dug for spiritual herbs and medicinal plants, the supply seemed inexhaustible.
Or rather, the entire Spiritual Domain was made of spiritual herbs and medicinal plants. Even if they dug for several years, they wouldn't be able to bring them all back.
"How long are we going to dig?" Phantom Cat looked at Feng Ming, who was tirelessly digging for spiritual herbs, occasionally transplanting medicinal herbs that were missing from their space, and shook its head.
It had never imagined that it would one day be exhausted from digging for spiritual herbs and medicinal plants.
"Soon, we should be leaving soon." Chu Lingwei didn't stop her actions.
Upon hearing this, Phantom Cat immediately resumed its work. If they were going to be teleported out soon, they had to take advantage of this time to dig up more spiritual herbs.
As night slowly fell, Chu Lingwei suddenly felt spiritual energy surging into the sky.
The time for them to leave had arrived.
Chu Lingwei quickly put Phantom Cat and Feng Ming into her space. Suddenly, a seven-colored light sucked her into the sky.
With a sensation of weightlessness, Chu Lingwei found herself standing before the Buddha's Light Pagoda.
"Weiwei, you're finally out." Nangong Luo let out a big sigh of relief upon seeing his junior sister emerge. "Our Spiritual Cultivation Academy is only missing you."
"Are all of them out?" Chu Lingwei looked towards their Spiritual Cultivation Academy's direction. Indeed, this time, a total of five disciples from their academy, including herself, had entered, and all of them had come out.
Seeing his junior sister return safely, Nangong Luo's mood greatly improved. "Of course."
Chu Lingwei followed Nangong Luo to their Spiritual Cultivation Academy's team. She saw the disciples who had entered the Spiritual Domain with undisguised excitement and eagerness on their faces, even as they tried to suppress it.
"Junior sister, there are many powerful beings here, be careful." Nangong Luo transmitted his voice to Chu Lingwei. "Remember, from now on, do not leave my side for a moment. Master will be here soon."
"I know."
Chu Lingwei looked around. Nearly all the disciples from various sects who had entered the Spiritual Domain had returned completely unharmed.
In a short while, the seven-colored light of the Buddha's Light Pagoda slowly dimmed.
In the past, when the seven-colored light of the Buddha's Light Pagoda dimmed, it meant that no more disciples could come out. But now, the leaders of all the sects were very happy.
This was because all the disciples who had entered the Spiritual Domain had come out. The few who were missing were insignificant compared to those who had returned.
"Second senior brother, have you noticed that all the disciples who entered the Spiritual Domain have come out?"
"Of course I've noticed, that's why no one is in a hurry to leave." Nangong Luo said with a solemn expression. Even though the Buddha's Light Pagoda had dimmed and no more disciples would emerge, not a single person present had left.
Never before had so many disciples managed to come out. Everyone felt strange and dared not make a move.
"Don't be afraid, Master will be here soon. They wouldn't dare to make a move against the Spiritual Cultivation Academy," Nangong Luo comforted him. Even if someone wanted to figure out the reason, they wouldn't dare to start with the Spiritual Cultivation Academy.
Chu Lingwei remained silent. Perhaps the powerful beings lurking in the shadows were getting impatient. These disciples emerging from the Spiritual Domain were their hope for breakthrough.
For a time, there was silence.
"Second senior brother, Elder Si."
Chu Lingwei suddenly spoke, breaking the silence. Everyone turned their gaze towards Chu Lingwei.
Hearing his junior sister speak, Nangong Luo's heart skipped a beat. He didn't understand what his junior sister was trying to do. Speaking now would attract the attention of those old monsters.
"Junior sister, do you miss Master? He'll be here soon." Nangong Luo spoke, intending to warn her.
Chu Lingwei shook her head, her voice tinged with disappointment. "Second senior brother, Elder Si, my talent isn't enough. I didn't manage to increase my cultivation inside."
