Today's events really stirred her up. How can she compete with Lin Yifan, who's so strong? To have no worries, she must remove this thorn in her side.

On the other side, on his way back, Lin Yifan kept pondering one question: who had tried to assassinate him just now?

In Cinnabar Palace, he had no enemies, so the only explanation was it was someone targeting An Qi.

Everything started because of An Qi. It seems An Qi was being ostracized and targeted everywhere in Cinnabar Palace.

No one targets someone without reason; it must be because this person threatens their interests, prompting such action.

An Qi became the Junior Palace Master of Cinnabar Palace, so the first person threatened would definitely be an elder sister praised as a candidate for Junior Palace Master.

This situation is just like his current predicament, being guarded against and targeted everywhere by the senior brother and the second senior brother.

Lin Yifan didn't know who the elders were among the disciples of Cinnabar Palace, but the suspects were definitely among them.

In fact, pursuing this matter isn't for himself, but for An Qi.

In this environment of deceit and conspiracy, An Qi's personal safety is hard to guarantee, and he's very afraid of An Qi encountering trouble.

He hopes Xuji True Master secretly keeps an eye out, not letting scheming and petty disciples take advantage.

After a few trips, he smoothly returned to Medicinal Saint Valley.

In the evening, with some free time, Xiaofang came to ask about the situation.

"Yifan, did you see An Qi sister today?"

"No! She's in seclusion, cultivating and not convenient to see people," Lin Yifan answered.

"Is it really that unfortunate? What can be done then?"

"We can only go another day," Lin Yifan answered.

"Did you deliver the message?" Xiaofang asked curiously.

"I've already told Xuji True Master that if An Qi comes out of seclusion, to convey the message to her."

"That's good then!"

Xiaofang's biggest fear is that An Qi sister is locked up by Xuji True Master, treated like a cultivation machine; at that time, Lin Yifan would be even more troubled.

Luckily, the reality isn't so; otherwise, she'd never forgive Xuji True Master in this life.

In the following days, Lin Yifan continued to strengthen his cultivation, striving to break through his realm early.

Without strength, nothing can be achieved, so it's better to become strong as soon as possible.

More than a month later, he broke through his realm, officially stepping into the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm.

Now, his power could rival that of a True Master First Realm early stage expert; he no longer feared anyone below the True Master Realm.

Just after coming out of seclusion, he received a mission from Medicine Saint Sect.

Ten days ago, a secret realm was discovered in the northeast; verified to be the ruins of some mysterious sect from ancient times, possibly containing some miraculous treasure or clues to treasure.

Every sect wants it, and Medicine Saint also desires it, so they dispatched their favored general—Lin Yifan, along with disciples from the valley to go together.

Upon hearing "northeast," Lin Yifan felt a sense of foreboding.

Because he once heard a prince of the Desert Emperor say that those who joined forces with an external Immortal Realm expert to besiege his father were led by the boss of a cultivation organization in the northeast, who possesses a Yellow Immortal Ring.

Since then, this Immortal expert has vanished without a trace, along with his sect disappearing in the rivers and lakes, extremely peculiar.

Now, a secret realm has appeared in the northeast, and after examination by many big figures, it is indeed the ruins of some mysterious sect from ancient times. He can't help but guess; perhaps this mysterious sect was the one owned by the Immortal Realm expert with the Yellow Immortal Ring, united with external Immortal Realm experts against the Desert Emperor.

This is major news; he desperately wants the Yellow Immortal Ring, so he must take on this task. Even if Medicine Saint won't let him go, he must go.

Moreover, the big figures of the sects don't seem to know if there is an Immortal Ring inside, so if he enters and obtains the Yellow Immortal Ring, he will be safe, not suspected of acquiring an Immortal Ring, thus reducing the risk of being killed at all costs.

This secret realm and the previous Beixuan Palace secret realm both require joint efforts from the big figures of the sects to open.

Unlike Beixuan Palace secret realm, this secret realm's realm repression isn't as strong as Beixuan Palace's, allowing cultivators below the True Master Realm to enter.

In other words, this competition will be harsher; whoever laughs last depends on whose ability is stronger.

During these few months living in Medicinal Saint Valley, Xiaofang's realm has improved, already advancing to the Divine Transformation Third Realm Peak.

After all, she is a disciple with good potential, so her cultivation speed is slightly faster than ordinary people.

She got an opportunity to venture into the secret realm to seek fortune, so this time she will accompany Lin Yifan on the journey.

She always wanted to explore the world with Lin Yifan. Previously, because of realm reasons, she was refused outside the Beixuan Palace secret manual; this time, she doesn't want to be the one waiting at home again.

Du Yuze was the first one called to execute the mission because he is at the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak, the limit that the secret realm can tolerate; such realm experts usually dominate the secret realm.

Only with expert assistance can trouble be avoided, as well as thwarting ill intentions; so Du Yuze also plays a role in protecting lower realm junior brothers.

With these two roles, how could he not go?

Du Yuze had long been bored inside the valley, moreover heard that this secret realm involves Lin Yifan, so he undoubtedly wants to go.

He wants to show some ability before Lin Yifan's strength surpasses him, so Lin Yifan remembers this favor, which would be good for future interactions in the rivers and lakes.

Qiu Yi also received this task, so he went too.

This time in the Medicinal Saint Valley disciples going to explore the secret realm treasure hunt in the northeast, most belong to the senior brother's camp, thus Lin Yifan's situation isn't so safe.

These people might betray and secretly come after Lin Yifan.

However, with Du Yuze, the expert, Lin Yifan is not afraid; and with his current strength, he no longer fears these petty scoundrels.

No matter how capable these petty scoundrels are, they cannot harm a single hair of his.

The northeast secret realm will open in two days, so Lin Yifan still has ample time to prepare.

Actually, Lin Yifan doesn't need to prepare much, as he has his own great treasure hoard, and it's easily accessible, ready at hand.

However, to prevent arousing suspicion, he still prepares some necessary items, such as weapons and elixirs.

These two things are frequently used during combat, and if a cultivator isn't carrying these things, he will certainly be suspected.

Either suspected to be foolish, or suspected to carry secrets.

Lin Yifan, no matter how you look at him, doesn't appear foolish, so if this situation occurs, everyone will have only one suspicion, that Lin Yifan carries secrets.
