Quick Transmigration: Drama Queen's Daily Life-Chapter 47 - 45: The Eldest Apprentice Brother

"One must always be cautious of others; when traveling outside, be extra careful." The Great Elder looked at the young disciple with reluctance in his heart, but he was helpless to change anything. To grow, one cannot always have smooth sailing, especially since, even though he was only eight years old, he had already reached the Foundation Establishment. According to the sect’s rules, it was indeed time for him to experience the outside world.

Ye Qiu took the storage bag handed to him by his Master and nodded solemnly. Clasping the long sword in his hand tightly, he bade his Master farewell.

The place he was heading to was called Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm, a training ground exclusive to their sect. It was filled with Spirit Plants and spiritual beasts, yet it lacked large demon beasts for hunting, making it a traditional training ground for Sword Pavilion’s Foundation Establishment Disciples.

But who could have imagined that in such a secret realm, thoroughly explored by senior members of the sect, there would actually be hidden one of the Five Spirits - Mu Ling!

The purpose of Ye Qiu’s trip to Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm was not only self-improvement but also for this newly sprouted Little Wood Spirit.

Joining Ye Qiu were over twenty other Foundation Establishment Disciples from the sect. Some, like him, had just completed their Foundation Establishment and were enjoying their first complimentary entry, while others had already been once and were returning in search of treasures after exchanging points.

Relatively speaking, the latter had a greater chance than the former.

However, one can never be certain with luck. If the latter had strong luck, they wouldn’t have remained at the Foundation Establishment Stage for years, needing to enter again with points to seek new opportunities.

Ye Qiu and the other twenty or so fellow disciples stood on the Transmission Array. The destination was random; those with good luck might end up in a valley full of Spiritual Medicine, while those with bad luck could be sent to the vast desert, possibly unable to find their way out for days or weeks.

Ye Qiu’s luck was not too bad; perhaps due to his Thunder Spirit Root, he was transmitted beside a lake where lightning flashed and thunder roared.

However, this place was not mentioned in the notes from senior disciple Shun Hua that had been given to him. The Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm was indeed as vast as Master had said, so vast that even after many years, the sect had not fully charted its boundaries.

But one thing was certain: no High-level cultivators could enter here, and no High-level demon beasts could grow here; that’s why the sect felt assured allowing Low-level Disciples to train here.

Apart from the sound of thunder, there was a deathly silence around the lake, no insect buzzes or bird calls, which was abnormal.

Ye Qiu’s gaze was fixed on the center of the lake struck by lightning. While the lake was deep and its contents unclear, he nonetheless decided to dive down for a closer look.

The water was indeed deep; only when lightning struck could he make out the surroundings clearly as he descended further.

Ye Qiu did not encounter any large demon beasts, only palm-sized silver fish with no Spiritual Wisdom circling the lightning. He captured some and, following the lightning, decided to dive even deeper.

As he descended, Ye Qiu felt the power of the thunder increasing, convincing him even more that there were treasures at the bottom of the lake. He braved the pressure and increased his swimming speed while remaining cautious of his surroundings.

After diving for about half an hour, a faint light at the bottom of the lake emerged before Ye Qiu’s eyes.

Thunder Essence Stone!

It’s a rare High-level Thunder Essence Stone!

He had struck it rich!

Indeed, his Luck bonus hadn’t been wrong even once!

In his excitement, Ye Qiu did not let down his guard. Logically speaking, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were usually guarded by spiritual beasts, and he also felt a slight yet persistent oppressive aura.

But after concealing himself for a short while, he did not detect any traces of spiritual beasts.

No matter what, he wouldn’t pass up the Thunder Essence Stone! If an enemy comes, he’d confront them; if a flood arrives, he’d hold back the tide!

As he collected the Thunder Essence Stones more rapidly, the pressure on Ye Qiu grew, yet no accompanying spiritual beast made an appearance.

Only when he had almost fully collected the High-level Thunder Essence Stones did he finally realize why.

It was not that there were no accompanying spiritual beasts; rather, this spiritual beast had already perished.

This was a tattered silver flood dragon with limbs and dragon horns grown, its body decayed, leaving only a skeleton of silvery-white buried beneath Thunder Essence Stone, continuously exerting the pressure Ye Qiu felt.

Even though it had been dead for many years, even though it was nearly reduced to decay, it still exerted tremendous pressure on a Foundation Establishment Practitioner, indicating its formidable power at its peak.

What exactly had happened in the Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm to make a high-level spiritual beast untenable?

Ye Qiu didn’t understand, nor did he ponder further; the Jiao Dragon Bone could not only be used for Artifact Refining but also for Alchemy, a rare and valuable item indeed—he truly made a fortune this time!

It was only a pity that the Dragon Pill had been absorbed by the Thunder Essence Stone over time; otherwise, there might have been a chance that the Jiao Dragon’s soul was still clinging to it, which could have granted spiritual wisdom to the sword Ye Qiu would cast with the Thunder Essence Stone in the future.

What comes to me is my fortune, and what slips away is fate; Ye Qiu had a carefree mindset. If there really was Dragon Essence, whether he could survive today would still be uncertain!

Ye Qiu didn’t take all the Thunder Essence Stone. The approach of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs has always been shunned by the people of the Cultivation World.

That’s why Qingling, after receiving so many legacies in her previous life and adopting a relentless approach, was hunted by various major sects and clans.

Ye Qiu spent several days by the lake, cultivating with the aid of thunder, during which he roasted silver fish twice, noticing that it quickened the flow of Thunder Spiritual Energy within his body. He then caught many more before leaving with regret.

The place where Qingling once found the Mu Ling was in a forest full of ordinary Spirit Fruits; many had visited there, yet it only revealed its true self to Qingling.

According to the map given by Brother Shun Hua, the forest should be in the south of the secret realm.

The secret realm was open for only half a year, and just finding this forest took Ye Qiu four months, as forests full of Spirit Fruits were all too common in the Little Spirit Cloud Mountain Secret Realm.

In the fifth month, with only one month left until the closure of the secret realm, he finally saw the forest with White Spiritual Fruits.

He didn’t realize until he arrived here that this White Spiritual Fruit forest was larger than all the others he had encountered before combined.

Generally speaking, places with a Wood Spirit would be filled with rare Spirit Plants. This Wood Spirit defied common logic; its location simply had a larger forest than other places, without other peculiarities, which is why for so many years, despite many people coming here, not a single one had discovered it.

Probably only someone with the legendary luck of Qingling could induce it to appear.

White Spiritual Fruit was a fist-sized white fruit, bland in taste and weak in spiritual energy, not much favored in the Cultivation World.

Ye Qiu picked one and found that apart from a slightly richer spiritual energy than other forests, there was nothing special about it.

The entire forest spanned about a thousand acres; the Wood Spirit hid very well, and as Ye Qiu had a Thunder Spirit Root, he could not detect the Wood Spirit’s presence at all. After wandering around for two days, he finally grew impatient.

"Will you come out on your own, or shall I force you out, Little Wood Spirit?" Ye Qiu threatened, "This White Spiritual Fruit forest must be your masterpiece, right? Don’t you believe I can destroy it all!"

The Little Wood Spirit trembled at the edge of the fruit forest, hiding—it’s this person, how frightening!

Whimper whimper... He even wanted to destroy the White Spiritual Fruits that it had managed to grow with such difficulty, how hateful!

So angry! But also so scared!

What to do!

The Little Wood Spirit hurriedly circled in distress. ƒгeewёbnovel.com
