[...]

After a moment's thought, the other party nodded. "No problem,"

"When we get there, let's see if we can run into some cultivators from other sects."

Once the plan was set, Lin Qi and several others found themselves with an additional task while searching for heavenly treasures.

Lin Qi knew that to gather a group of people and be the leader among them, she had to offer something convincing.

She's only a wild one when there are no rabbits around, otherwise, why would anyone believe her?

She took out two maps from her arms, which were exactly the maps of the two secret realms of Heavenly Demon Palace.

This is the blueprint that Lin Qi got after which she asked Tongtian Green Vine to draw it in the space.

She specifically had the Sky-Piercing Green Vine divide the entire Heavenly Demon Palace map into several parts, and she also separately moved out the five Treasure Pavilion secret realm maps.

The painting of the Sky-Piercing Green Vine was done by hand, so it seems... somewhat abstract and rudimentary.

At first glance, most people wouldn't realize this is a map.

What is this?

"Secret Realm Map."

Upon hearing these four words, the other party's eyes lit up instantly.

But instead, doubt arose, “Are you sure this is a secret realm map? It looks so much like a child's scribbles. How credible is it?”

Lin Qi: “...” High.

The ever-vigilant Vine of Paradise, who had been pretending to be dead all along, was no longer pleased.

It is extremely confident in its own aesthetics.

How could anyone doubt the drawing it made?!

"Of course it's true! I drew it myself on the map!"

Lin Qi pinched its neck from behind and threw it back, calmly explaining: "This is my spirit pet. When we were at the palace, we happened to encounter two Yuan Ying cultivators fighting over the map of the Heavenly Demon Palace. It's good at disguising itself, so it quietly snuck over to take a look and drew me two copies of the map..."

"The picture is definitely real, I can guarantee that. It's just that it still has a childlike personality, so the painting is a bit childish, you know."

Lin Qi gave the other person a look and didn't dare to mention the map being too abstract again.

Fear a sky-piercing green vine might erupt on the spot.

The cultivators of Wutai Jiange no longer spoke, their gazes fixed on the map in Lin Qi's hand. "I know, but is this map?"

To win someone over, you always have to offer something sweet.

Lin Qi generously said, "As long as you are willing to join forces against the enemy, I am willing to share these two maps."

Ye Jian still doesn't know that Lin Qi knows the complete map of Tianmo Palace.

Hearing this, I instinctively wanted to stop her.

She pulled on Lin Qi's hand, "Lin Junior Sister! This is not appropriate!"

Good things, why share them for free?

Does Lin Shumei know the value of these two maps?!

Lin Qi comforted Ye Jian, "Senior Sister Ye, I understand the pros and cons of this matter. However, the disciples of our sect are weak, while the cultivators from the outer sects are strong and extremely dangerous."

Every cultivator who can enter the Heavenly Stream of Immortals is carefully cultivated by their sect, they are the future of Nanzhou. At this time, we must unite and work together to get out of the Tianmo Palace."

Ye Jian looked at Lin Qi, stunned for a moment, shocked by her righteousness.

For a moment, looking at Lin Qi, his eyes flickered with light, with a hint of excitement in his tears.

"Shimei Lin, whatever you decide to do, I'll follow your lead! We'll definitely be able to get all the disciples from our sect out of the Heavenly Demon Palace safely!"

Lin Qi:...She didn't necessarily say she would take everyone out.

Perhaps it was Ye Jian's eyes that were too bright, making Lin Qi feel a little ashamed.

She is too embarrassed to tell Ye Jian the truth.

Actually, she only does this to save more people, accumulate good karma, and repay her debts... Don't think too highly of her, she really can't handle it.

But obviously, Ye Jian couldn't see through Lin Qi's little thoughts. He was full of ambition and thinking about how to team up with other sect cultivators.

The area of Lingyao Mountain exceeded Lin Qi and the others' imagination. Continuous mountain peaks rose and fell, stretching as far as the eye could see.

Without spiritual energy to empower them, they could only move by walking on their legs.

"At this rate, when will we be able to finish harvesting the elixir here and leave?" Ye Jian also secretly widened his eyes in astonishment.

All people are greedy, how could they bear to leave without enough spiritual herbs?

Do not leave. All the previous talk about joining forces was just empty words.

They can't just sit around and wait for disciples to stumble upon them in Lingyao Mountain, can they?

Well, actually... it's not a bad idea?

When Ye Jian was lost in thought, Lin Qi patted Tongtian Green Vine and Tianmang on the shoulders.

"For the great undertaking of gathering herbs, I'll rely on the two of you!"

Tongtian Green Vine said confidently, "You just wait here. It's just a few mountains."

It vanished instantly, transforming into countless vines that surged in all directions.

Tiānmáng's little face was flushed crimson. She had never been entrusted with such an important task before.

Lin Qi's hand on her shoulder, seemed to give her infinite strength.

She raised her chin and said, "Sister Lin, I will definitely try my best to help you!"

Its limbs branched into countless tiny black twigs, and it also learned the method of the verdant vine reaching for the heavens, and began to harvest spirit herbs.

Lin Qi then went to look for someone.

I don't know if it was Shenjun's divine consciousness controlling her body that left aftereffects.

She faintly sensed something happening inside the Heavenly Demon Palace.

However, the scope is very small.

For example, she is currently in the secret realm of Lingyao Mountain. The only place she can feel is Lingyao Mountain itself.

Just at that moment, ripples appeared at another entrance of Spirit Medicine Mountain.

Lin Qi instantly realized that someone had entered.

I just don't know if this person is a powerful cultivator from outside the sect or a disciple of the sect.

Instead of calling out to the Wǔtái Jiàn Gé disciple who was desperately digging for spiritual herbs, she sought out Yè Jiǎn. The two donned artifacts that concealed their auras and silently ambushed on a hillside.

Before she could hide, Lin Qi heard the familiar voice of complaint.

"Big brother, is Brother Hanzhi really here?"

"We looked everywhere, but we couldn't find anyone. Where did Elder Branch go?!"

"Ouch!" Ning Sangyu accidentally tripped over a snake vine and fell flat on her face.

After she screamed, she whimpered and climbed up, just about to pull out this broken thing to vent her anger, when she met a pair of black and white clear eyes.

"Ah! There's a ghost!" Ning Sangyu quickly scrambled to her feet and hid behind Ning Sanye.

Lin Qi: ...This was the fastest she'd ever seen Ning Sangyu react.

Ning Sangye shielded her younger sister behind her and hissed, "Who's hiding there playing tricks?!"

Her hair was adorned with a headband woven from vines, and she smiled brightly as she lifted her face.

"Two fellow Daoists Ning, what a coincidence! We meet again!"

Lin Qi silently followed them out, her gaze fixed on the Ning siblings.

"It's really fate, isn't it?"

She didn't know what to say.

This damned fate...

Lin Qi and the Ning siblings have a very strange relationship.

If it's an enemy, it certainly wouldn't be considered one.

At least Ning Sang Ye and Ning Sang Ye had never shown her any real hostility.

But to say friends, still a bit of feeling.

At most, he's a fellow practitioner I'm somewhat familiar with.

But it was this strange relationship that, as soon as the Ning siblings saw Lin Qi, they readily agreed to work together.
