TFHS: Chapter 66

The day before the secret realm was opened, Feng Jinlin handed the information he had collected about the Xuanyue Secret Realm to Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo without avoiding Sheng Duo.

Sheng Duo’s eyes widened. “The Xuanyue Secret Realm? The two of you want to enter the Xuanyue Secret Realm? Aren’t you…”

After saying this, he slapped his own mouth. Why did he poke at their sore spots? But their conditions really weren’t suitable for entering the secret realm.

Feng Ming chuckled, patted Sheng Duo on the shoulder, and said, “You underestimate me. I am a genius. The cultivation of geniuses is incomprehensible to ordinary people. I am now at the peak of the meridians opening realm and only one step away from entering the qi gathering realm. You should be jealous of me.”

Sheng Duo’s expression distorted, and he turned to look at Bai Qiaomo.

Bai Qiaomo smiled slightly. “I am now at the peak of the qi gathering realm.”

“How is that possible? Wasn’t your dantian destroyed? How can you still practice?”

Feng Ming looked down on him. “You can’t even understand such a simple truth. Of course, he can only practice after he has repaired it.”

Sheng Duo was shocked.

Feng Jinlin couldn’t help laughing. Ming’er always liked to tease Sheng Duo, which was indeed very interesting.

Feng Jinlin warned. “Once you enter the secret realm, Dad won’t be able to help you. Everything depends on you. Qiaomo, Ming’er needs you to take good care of him.”

“Uncle, don’t worry. I will do so.”

Feng Jinlin believed Bai Qiaomo. So after saying this, he turned and left, handing the space to the children.

Sheng Duo was so surprised that he didn’t even notice Bai Qiaomo addressing Feng Jinlin. He tugged at Feng Ming’s sleeve and looked at the position of Bai Qiaomo’s dantian with an incredulous look.

“Is it really repaired? How was it repaired? Is it so simple? In addition, your cultivation level is even higher than before it was abolished.”

Originally, Bai Qiaomo was in the late stage of the qi gathering realm. But it hadn’t been long since then, and he had already reached the peak of the qi gathering realm.

Going one step further, that was a cultivator in the essence liquid realm. A cultivator in the essence liquid realm would be a master when placed in Qingyun City.

His mother was only in the middle stage of the essence liquid realm. Now that Bai Qiaomo was like this, would he give others a chance to survive?

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo had discussed this matter a long time ago, because it was easy to expose their identity in the secret realm. Everyone would know about it by then.

Bai Qiaomo had recovered his aptitude for cultivation and made further progress. All parties would be unable to hold back and would inquire about his method of repairing his dantian.

Bai Qiaomo didn’t mind handing over this method, but he wouldn’t give it to others for free.

So at this moment, it was also kept secret from Sheng Duo. Feng Ming blinked and said, “Keep it a secret for now. Brother Bai wants to use this method to earn some crystals and cultivation resources. By the way, Younger Brother Sheng, Brother Bai and I will enter the secret realm tomorrow. You stay here and practice hard. After we come out of the secret realm, we will go to Sihong Academy together, okay?”

Younger Brother Sheng said with a bitter face, “What else can I do? You are all gone, so I can only practice. I am much more diligent now than when I was in Qingyun City.”

“Haha, it is only when your strength improves that we can go out and explore together.”

“Okay.” Sheng Duo became happy again when thinking of that scene.

After knowing that Feng Ming was going to Sihong Academy, he took the initiative to tell his mother that he wanted to stay and go to Sihong Academy with Feng Ming.

Now he realized that Feng Ming wasn’t going to Sihong Academy alone, but was going with Bai Qiaomo.

He didn’t have to worry any longer. With Bai Qiaomo here, what did they have to be afraid of?

Then he became excited again. He looked forward to the news of Bai Qiaomo’s dantian recovery being exposed and the scene where everyone would be shocked.

Early the next morning, Feng Jinlin personally handed Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo over to Captain Xie Yinghua. Of course, all three of them had their appearances changed. Except for Captain Xie, who knew Feng Jinlin was there, no one else knew the identities of Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo.

Feng Jinlin didn’t show up since it was more appropriate for Xie Yinghua, a master of the essence dan realm, to escort them. After all, the Flying Feather Mercenary Group also had to escort their own people to the secret realm.

“Deputy Captain Lin has already gone into seclusion?”

“That’s right. Now that everyone’s attention is focused on the secret realm, it is a good time to retreat.”

“Yes, I will also rent a cave to retreat later.”

“Then I congratulate you in advance.”

“No problem, haha. Please and thank you, Captain Xie.”

“Don’t worry.”

Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo, who had taken the disguise pill, followed Captain Xie in a low-key manner. A group of more than ten people rose on flying birds to the place where the secret realm would be opened.

On the way, Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo learned the names of the other two cultivators who would enter the secret realm together.

One was Tang Xiufeng and the other was Gu Anling. They were a man and a woman. The younger one was older than Bai Qiaomo, and both were in the early stage of the qi gathering realm. They must be the ones with the most outstanding qualifications in the Flying Feather Mercenary Group.

The four of them exchanged contact information, thinking that perhaps they could band together to survive in the secret realm. After all, both of them were weak and other families might not have only one token.

In order to enter the secret realm this time, Feng Jinlin specially bought a pair of communication beads from Liuyang Pavilion so that Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo could contact each other at any time if they were separated.

After flying for most of the day, the group arrived at their destination. There were already many cultivators waiting there, and more were on the way. Ground and air transportation arrived from time to time.

Not long after, Feng Ming saw the Feng and Gong family teams coming from the air. Feng Jinghuai and Gong Yuming, whom he and Bai Qiaomo knew, were in the team.

He whispered to Bai Qiaomo, “Gong Yuming is entering too. I don’t think he usually looks like he is diligent in cultivating and making progress.”

Bai Qiaomo’s ears itched. He replied, “It is for the possible opportunities in the secret realm. If he can get an opportunity, he might soar into the sky.”

“Oh, he wants to take a shortcut, right?” Feng Ming concluded.

Bai Qiaomo smiled secretly. This might be true for someone like Gong Yuming.

However, this also showed that Gong Yuming’s status in the Gong family wasn’t low since there would definitely be many young people competing for such a position.

There was only a limited number of people entering the secret realm. The fact that Gong Yuming managed to get one of the spots was enough to explain some things.

Feng Ming was already grinning evilly. He wondered how shocked Gong Yuming would be if he found Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo in the secret realm.

The disguise pill could change one’s appearance but his father didn’t have a lot of them. It was impossible for them to use the disguise pills all the time in the secret realm.

Bai Qiaomo had also prepared a jade pendant engraved with a psychedelic formation to confuse other people’s vision, but there was no guarantee that an accident wouldn’t happen.

Gong Yuming was talking to his family when he suddenly felt an odd gaze looking at him, which made him feel uneasy.

He followed the direction he sensed it from and found that the people in that direction were the Flying Feather Mercenary Group. There was no one he was familiar with among them. He started to feel strange.

Feng Ming quickly retracted his gaze when Gong Yuming looked over, thinking that this person was quite perceptive.

Someone came over to say hello to Captain Xie. It was another mercenary group from Gaoyang County, which was in competition with the Flying Feather Mercenary Group.

“Thank you, Captain. Let your people entering the secret realm meet up with those on my side. We are all mercenaries. We need to take care of each other after entering the secret realm.”

Behind this man were two young cultivators who looked a bit arrogant and looked at this side with a bit of provocation. They probably wanted to compete after entering the secret realm.

Captain Xie laughed and pointed behind him. “That is exactly what I was thinking. These four are the ones who are entering the secret realm this time. Come over and say hello to them. Get acquainted with each other.”

The visitor was surprised and asked, “You actually have two tokens?”

He always thought that the Flying Feather Mercenary Group only had the token that was bought at the auction. Now four people were entering, which meant that this guy had already hidden a piece in his hand. He must’ve deliberately bought the one at the auction.

Captain Xie smiled proudly. “It is lucky that I got another piece. Luck is coming, and I can’t stop it.”

The three people who came were so angry that they wanted to cough up blood. The man surnamed Xie shouldn’t be so boastful.

The other members of the Flying Feather Mercenary Group were also secretly happy. They would never say that these two weren’t from their mercenary group. Let others misunderstand.

After seeing the three of them leave, Captain Xie smiled again. He didn’t expect that by helping Feng Jinlin, he could also anger his competitor. He turned around and said to his own people and Feng Ming. “If you meet them, help them if you can but put yourself first.”

It was helping for the sake of all being mercenaries. Sometimes, mercenary groups needed to stick together to gain living space and avoid becoming tools in the hands of other forces.

They waited there until dawn the next day. Finally, an energy vortex appeared in the air.

An essence dan realm expert flew into the air and ordered, “The secret realm is open. Everyone, activate the token to enter the secret realm.”

Immediately, many people took out their tokens and transferred their energy into the tokens. Then an energy ball appeared and wrapped the people inside the ball. The energy ball carried the people toward the energy vortex in the air.

In the blink of an eye, 40 or 50 bubble-like energy balls appeared in the air. Captain Xie waved his hand and said, “You guys go too. Be careful.”

“Okay.”

Bai Qiaomo took out the token from the grocery store and inputted his energy. An energy ball wrapped him and Feng Ming in it, and they were dragged towards the vortex in the air, joining the other bubble teams.

The closer they were to the energy vortex, the faster they were dragged. Just as they were about to reach the vortex, they felt a ‘whoosh’ and were sucked in with the bubble.

Feng Ming felt Bai Qiaomo grabbing his hand tightly at the last moment.

He felt dizzy and tossed around. Feng Ming was about to vomit before he got rid of this feeling.

The scene in front of him also changed. He and Bai Qiaomo were falling rapidly.

“Ah—I’m going to fall—”

Feng Ming cried out in surprise. With his small body, he wouldn’t be able to withstand a fall from such a high place.

“Hold me tight.” Bai Qiaomo’s voice was heard. Feng Ming immediately hugged Bai Qiaomo like an octopus.

Bai Qiaomo felt a bit amused and helpless. Fortunately, the two of them weren’t separated. Otherwise, how would Feng Ming cope with it if he was alone?

Once they almost reached the ground, Bai Qiaomo took action and launched a force attack on the ground. The rebound force caused the rapidly falling figure to slow down.

Bai Qiaomo punched out one after another, causing his speed to become slower and slower. Feng Ming, who was worried at first, finally sighed with relief and released his grip on Bai Qiaomo a bit. It was as if the person who hugged tightly before wasn’t him.

He was very brave.

In the end, Bai Qiaomo and Feng Ming landed safely on the ground, but the ground was full of potholes caused by Bai Qiaomo’s smashing.

—

Just as Feng Ming and Bai Qiaomo entered the secret realm, Feng Jinlin rented a cave mansion with a strong vital energy from the City Lord’s mansion. He started to retreat to rush to the essence dan realm.

Since everyone’s attention was focused on the opening of the secret realm and many people followed to watch, not many people noticed Feng Jinlin’s movements.
