Start With Chaos Sword Body And Build The Immortal Clan

"Sister Yan, look, I found some spirit grass again, here you go!"

In Gu Qingchen's chubby little hands, he held a few freshly pulled spirit grass from the soil and handed them to Yan Mengqi.

It had been a few hours since the two entered the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm.

Thanks to Yan Mengqi's carefulness in avoiding areas with monsters as much as possible, they had hardly encountered any monsters in the past few hours.

Before entering the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm, Yan Mengqi had already made a plan for herself.

Avoid monsters if possible and avoid any conflicts with other cultivators.

After all, her cultivation level was only at the True Spirit First Layer, which was considered the lowest level within the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm.

Treasure disputes and heritage inheritances were not something she, a mere True Spirit First Layer cultivator, could participate in. Her goal was only the scattered medicinal herbs and spirit fruits throughout the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm.

She didn't mind the lower-grade ones. If she was lucky enough to come across some higher-grade medicinal herbs and spirit fruits, she would have a chance to advance to the inner sect.

"Xiao Chen, these herbs you picked are yours, you don't have to give them to me..."

Gu Qingchen had a strong spiritual sense, and the spirit grass he had found along the way was several times more than Yan Mengqi's. However, Gu Qingchen wasn't interested in these lower-grade spirit grasses. Apart from eating a few spirit fruits, he gave the rest to Yan Mengqi.

Throughout the journey, Yan Mengqi had taken great care of Gu Qingchen, treating him like her own younger brother, which greatly increased Gu Qingchen's fondness for her.

"I don't want them, give them all to Sister."

Gu Qingchen shook his head. These spirit grasses were too low-level for him, and he couldn't even compare them to the Rank Three or Rank Four spirit fruits that Gu Changqing casually gave him. He truly didn't care much about these Rank Two spirit grasses.

"Alright, I'll keep them for you and give them to you all at once when we get out." Yan Mengqi first accepted them, then squatted down and touched Gu Qingchen's head, saying, "Also, Xiao Chen, your voice... shouldn't be so loud, understand?"

"Sister's cultivation level is weak. If we attract monsters or some bad cultivators, we'll be in trouble."

"Oh... I understand."

Gu Qingchen really wanted to say that he wasn't afraid, but when he saw Yan Mengqi's gentle gaze, he lowered his head again, like a child who had done something wrong.

"Alright, let's go."

After rubbing Gu Qingchen's head, she wasn't blaming him. It was just the survival rule for the weak.

"Sister Yan, someone is coming."

Gu Qingchen, who was about to leave with Yan Mengqi, suddenly stopped and looked towards the right front.

There were more than ten auras approaching quickly.

Yan Mengqi frowned. She also sensed it and quickly pulled Gu Qingchen, hiding behind a huge rock, concealing their auras.

"Hmm? Brother Lan? Brother Liu?"

Yan Mengqi, hiding behind the rock, suddenly froze when she saw the newcomers. She instantly relaxed, feeling relieved.

She recognized the several people who appeared suddenly. They were all disciples of the Embracing Moon Palace, and two of them, Brother Lan and Brother Liu, were even true disciples of the Embracing Moon Palace, both at the True Spirit Seventh Layer or above.

Seeing that they were fellow disciples, Yan Mengqi didn't hide her figure anymore and walked out from behind the rock with Gu Qingchen.

"Brother Lan, Brother Liu!"

The several people also saw Yan Mengqi, but they didn't recognize her.

Yan Mengqi was just an outer disciple of the Embracing Moon Palace, and there were so many outer disciples in the Embracing Moon Palace. It was normal for them not to know her.

But seeing the "moon" embroidered on Yan Mengqi's chest, they knew that she was also a fellow disciple, and their vigilance instantly dropped.

"So, you're an outer junior sister. Since we've met, let's go together." Brother Lan, dressed in luxurious clothes, smiled slightly.

Then he suddenly noticed something and looked at Gu Qingchen beside Yan Mengqi, slightly stunned.

"Who is he?"

"This little brother was picked up by me in the Secret Realm..." Yan Mengqi quickly told Brother Lan and the others about how she met and traveled with Gu Qingchen.

Upon hearing this, Brother Lan didn't say anything, but the other Brother Liu spoke up.

"He's just a little brat, carrying him is a burden. You can follow us, but he can't." Brother Liu glanced at Gu Qingchen, then looked at Yan Mengqi with a hint of blame. "You're really daring. This is the Jade Sovereign Secret Realm, full of dangers. Carrying such a little thing with you could very well get you killed, understand?"

"Ah..."

Suddenly reprimanded, Yan Mengqi felt a bit at a loss.

"Yes, junior sister, quickly leave him and come with us."

"Liu senior brother is right, your kindness is misplaced."

Many Embracing Moon Palace disciples echoed.

Liu senior brother's words were a bit harsh, but they were also true. This place was not the outside world. Carrying a small child would not only burden oneself, but what else could be done?

Yan Mengqi also understood this, but she couldn't just abandon Gu Qingchen. She... couldn't do it.

Gu Qingchen seemed to realize something and tightly held onto Yan Mengqi's hand, afraid that she would also abandon him.

Without her sister, Yan Mengqi was now his only reliance.

This action softened Yan Mengqi's heart even more.

"Liu senior brother, I understand what you said, but... I can't do it. I have a lot of harvested spiritual herbs here, I'll give them all to you, as long as... you allow me to bring Little Chen with me."

"Forget it, bring him along." It was Senior Brother Lan who waved his hand and didn't accept the spiritual herbs from Yan Mengqi.

Senior Brother Lan was also a kind-hearted person and was deeply loved by his junior brothers and sisters in the sect.

Faced with Yan Mengqi's pleading, he softened a bit.

Liu senior brother frowned, snorted, and turned to leave directly. "If you want to go with me, follow. If you don't want to, then stay here and accompany your kind-hearted Senior Brother Lan."

"Liu senior brother!"

The other disciples shouted one after another.

"Those who want to go with me, follow. Those who don't want to, just stay here and accompany your kind-hearted Senior Brother Lan."

"This..."

More than ten Embracing Moon Palace disciples looked at Liu senior brother who was leaving, then at Senior Brother Lan, feeling a bit hesitant.

"Senior Brother Lan, sorry..."

One disciple followed him directly.

"Senior Brother Lan, I..."

Including Senior Brother Lan and Liu senior brother, there were a total of twelve people, seven of whom followed Liu senior brother, and only three chose to stay...

The disciples who followed Liu senior brother not only agreed with his words, but more importantly, Liu senior brother's strength was stronger than Senior Brother Lan!

Although Senior Brother Lan had a good reputation in Embracing Moon Palace, his cultivation was only at the True Spirit Seventh Layer, while Liu senior brother... had reached the peak of the True Spirit Eighth Layer!

In this dangerous Jade Sovereign Secret Realm, it was natural to follow someone with stronger strength like Liu senior brother for more security.

"You're not coming with us?"

Senior Brother Lan smiled self-deprecatingly and glanced at the three who stayed behind.

These three disciples were not strong, at around the True Spirit Second Layer, two of them were outer disciples, and one was an inner disciple.

The three of them also had a bitter smile on their faces.

"We want to follow, but Liu senior brother may not want us. Along the way, although Liu senior brother didn't say it explicitly, his words and actions were full of disdain for the three of us, probably... he thinks we are too weak and will hold him back..."

"Liu senior brother probably wanted to get rid of us a long time ago. This incident just gave him an excuse to do so."

Senior Brother Lan nodded, these three disciples were not stupid.

"Come with me then. My strength may not be as good as Liu Yang's, but I, Lan Wang, will not abandon any of my junior brothers and sisters who follow me." Senior Brother Lan smiled slightly and said to Yan Mengqi, "Junior sister, you should come with us too, with that little guy by your side."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Lan!"

Yan Mengqi's voice was filled with excitement.

And so, the original duo became a team of six.
