Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Xu Zhangqing left his Personal Space and returned to the Stone House. Just as he pulled the Door open, intending to Go Out, he heard a "pitter-patter" sound Resound from Outside.

At the Same Time, a rotting smell formed from wet earth Mixed with withered leaves rushed into his face, wrapped in a thread of cool air.

"It's raining?"

"It's the first rain of autumn!"

"Wait a bit, it'll be over soon anyway."

Autumn rain mostly belongs to shower rain, with a shorter duration.

Therefore, Xu Zhangqing stood at the Gate, watching the Outside with great interest.

Fine rain like silk fell slantwise from the dark Clouds, Smashing onto the Roof with a "rustling" sound.

The Spirit Plants in the fields had already been soaked by the dense rain threads; water drops hung from the leaf tips, and when the wind blew they rustled and Rolled off, Smashing onto the ground and splashing tiny water flowers.

The distant scenery was wrapped in a thin layer of rain mist; Contours became Blurred, only vaguely revealing some leafless Tree Trunks and undulating Mountain Ranges.

The air was slightly cold, yet not piercing to the bone, merely carrying a thread of autumn chill.

As he watched, Xu Zhangqing seemed to have a realization; Subconsciously he circulated his Cultivation Method, mobilizing the Golden and Water Spirit Power in his Qi Sea, and gave a pull toward the continuous autumn rain Outside.

In an Instant, dozens of water threads fine as hair spiraled in his Right Hand palm, Condensing into a semi-transparent "dew drop" that looked round and crystalline.

At this moment, he suddenly understood something; the dew drop in his palm trembled slightly, and unexpectedly Condensed a layer of extremely thin White Frost out of thin air, which melted in the blink of an eye, leaving only a bone-penetrating coolness.

Following this, cycling repeatedly, after Many Times of attempts, he finally mastered it proficiently.

Soon, as this dew drop covered itself with a layer of White Frost, its form also changed, Transforming from a sphere into a needle shape; with a Light shake, it Shot out in an Instant.

Puff puff puff!

Along its path, it pierced through rain water and Water Curtains, then, with the characteristic of "Cold Condensation", drove all the rain water in this region Outside, transforming them one after another into similar shapes.

Where was there still rain water at this moment? Instead, "ice needles" were falling.

The ice needles were fine as cow hair, piercing to the bone upon touch.

They carried both the clarity of autumn rain and the sharp intent of Metal.

Xu Zhangqing realized: "Autumn belongs to Metal, Metal generates Water, Golden Qi fuses into Water!"

This move retains Water's gentle moisture while adding a thread of "converging and refining" resilience; just like autumn dew, seemingly fragile, yet condensing and not dispersing on a cold night.

At this moment, although he could not Cast the Great Cloud Rain Technique, his control over Water had already reached another Height.

Xu Zhangqing was Thoughtful: "Let's name this move Autumn Dew!"

The rain was still falling, yet he stepped out leisurely.

Everywhere in Front was standing water, yet he did not Dispel or avoid it; instead he merged himself into it, as if part of the water.

A miraculous Scene Occurred: the water naturally slid off; his body did not get wet, and not even a single trace of water flowed down.

……

……

Linggan Platform, Stall position.

Because of the rain, the number of people Entering the Gui Xu Secret Realm decreased a lot.

The Business on Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, and Lin An's Stalls was okay, but couldn't compare to when it wasn't raining.

The three chatted idly, for example what they ate Yesterday, what they bought.

When Xu Zhangqing Appeared, Zhao Ziyue among the three was the most Surprised, asking in shock: "You didn't ride the Broken Moon Flowing Frost This Time?"

Xu Zhangqing gave a Slight Smile: "I feel very comfortable in the rain!"

Zhao Ziyue couldn't help sizing him up: "Strange, how many days has it been since you Obtained the Water Spirit Root?"

Xu Zhangqing blinked: "What about it?"

Zhao Ziyue opened his mouth, then Shook his Head: "Nothing... nothing."

Hu Bugui teased: "Lao Xu, I think you've got a body full of fire with nowhere to vent!"

Xu Zhangqing's Mouth Corner Twitched: "I'm using rain water to vent fire?"

Hu Bugui grinned: "Heard the Flower Sea side is holding a matchmaking event again; are you guys going?"

Zhao Ziyue mocked: "I think you're the one with fire and nowhere to vent?"

Hu Bugui asked as if it were only natural: "So what?"

Watching the two bicker, Xu Zhangqing suddenly Thought Of Zhao Ying, and couldn't help sighing in his heart: this one is the true winner in life.

Although when he Just Turned Positive, he became Zhang Er's Tenant Farmer and was exploited miserably.

But after Zhang Er died, not only did he receive Spirit Fields, he also married and had children; his days passed much more comfortably.

"Mo Sha?"

"What happened to this guy?"

"I'm Leaving, even his arms are gone!"

Just at this time, a commotion came from the Other Side of the Teleportation Array.

Xu Zhangqing and the others heard the sound and looked over, discovering old acquaintances, and not just one.

Mo Sha, Lan Tian, and besides them there was also a... Corpse.

Whose?

Zhao Qianyuan!

Such a scene directly scared the surrounding people speechless.

You must know, Mo Sha was not only the runner-up of the Formal Disciple Competition, but had also become a Core Disciple of Xuanming Peak, his strength extremely formidable.

As for Lan Tian, although this person became mediocre later on, he was at least a Foundation Establishment Stage Water Spirit Root Sword Cultivator, possessing an Autumn Water Spirit Sword that could grow, likewise not to be underestimated.

As for Zhao Qianyuan, everyone knew little about this person, only knowing he was once the Core Disciple Number One of Jiuqu Sect; unexpectedly, just a few days after joining Dongting Immortal Sect, the person was said to be gone and was gone.

Xu Zhangqing was shocked beyond measure: "What exactly happened inside the Secret Realm?"

Mo Sha ignored the surrounding people, directly sitting cross-legged, striving to recover from his injuries.

Facing everyone's gazes and inquiries, Lan Tian helplessly answered: "Originally thought there were only us in the Secret Realm, result didn't expect there was also a batch of mysterious people hiding; when Mo Sha, Zhao Qianyuan, and I were exploring deeply we happened to encounter them, result nearly couldn't return."

"What?"

"Besides us, there are actually still other people?"

"Could it be, the Secret Realm's entrance is not just one?"

These words once spoken, instantly caused a commotion.

Everyone thought there were only Dongting Immortal Sect disciples in the Gui Xu Secret Realm, result didn't expect, Lan Tian's one sentence scared everyone a jump.

If there really are mysterious people, then those who met with mishap are definitely not just these three, there should be even more people.

Not long after, Ruo Qunshuang, having learned of Zhao Qianyuan's death, hurriedly rushed over; looking at the familiar corpse, she instantly burst into tears: "Senior Brother, didn't you say you would protect me for a lifetime?"

Seeing this scene, many people felt unbearable pity in their hearts.

Originally Ruo Qunshuang's family and friends were all dead, in Dongting Immortal Sect she had no one to rely on and no acquaintances.

Now, the only Zhao Qianyuan who took care of her is also dead.

Hu Bugui grew worried: "Will Senior Brother Lingbi and Senior Brother Chu Qiu meet with mishap?"

Before Xu Zhangqing could speak, Zhao Ziyue rolled his eyes: "Dead fatty, inside the Gui Xu Secret Realm only Golden Core Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage these two realms of Cultivators can exist; in other words, Li Lingbi, Qin Baili and the others inside belong to top-tier combat power."

If existences like these died, the first to react would definitely be the Immortal Sect.

Therefore, currently they are definitely still alive, this point is beyond doubt.

It's just that these mysterious people could get Zhao Qianyuan killed, even causing Mo Sha to lose an arm, showing their strength is indeed strong to an outrageous degree.

Xu Zhangqing rejoiced in his heart: "Fortunately I didn't go!"
