After passing through the cannon fodder in the book, my brother turned out to be the male protagonis

Fang Yiqin hesitated for a moment, told Xu Changluo about the treasure hunting plate, and asked, "Hasn't your sect received the news?"

Xu Changluo shook his head, embarrassed: "Actually, I didn't tell anyone else about this trip."

Seeing her look, Fang Yiqin didn't dare to ask any more questions. He originally thought that it was impossible for him to team up with Qi Zhao since he had only met him for the first time today. It would be better for him to team up with Xu Changluo, whom he had met several times. After all, she was the saint of the Yuehua Sect and should have some real skills.

The two agreed to meet at the entrance of the secret realm the next day and said good night to each other. On the way back to the inn, Xu Changluo once doubted whether this was true. Not only did she exchange messages with the person she liked tonight, but they could also go to the secret realm together tomorrow.

She buried herself in the thick quilt, her face burning, and repeatedly confirmed that all this was true. As soon as she closed her eyes, she saw Fang Yiqin asking her if she wanted to team up together. She didn't get a good rest the whole night.

The next day, Xu Changluo left the inn with brisk steps. The waiter looked up and had an impression of this female cultivator. After all, it was rare to see a cultivator who was always timid and spoke in a voice as soft as a mosquito. Seeing her so cheerful today made people curious about the reason.

From a distance, Xu Changluo saw Fang Yiqin wearing a navy blue suit, leaning against a tree with his arms folded, his tone full of joy: "Morning, Fellow Daoist Fang!"

Fang Yiqin turned around to look at her and waved to her.

As they got closer, Xu Changluo noticed that Fang Yiqin was wearing a leather shoulder armor on his right shoulder, with a black jade peace buckle on his chest to secure it, and tassels of the same color hanging down. This outfit made Fang Yiqin look particularly different.

Xu Changluo blushed, turned his head to the side, and pressed his hands on his chest in an attempt to suppress his pounding heart.

"The secret realm seems to be about to open. Fellow Daoist Xu, shall we go?" Fang Yiqin said to Xu Changluo.

"Ah - okay!" she responded quickly, following the pace of the person in front of her with brisk steps.

Qi Zhao stretched his neck to search for Fang Yiqin. As he searched, he thought to himself that he had specifically revealed the news of the treasure hunting plate to Fang Yiqin yesterday. If Fang Yiqin hadn't come today, wouldn't he have become the monster's meal?

"Young Master, look over there, is that the young master from yesterday?"

Qi Zhao looked in the direction the servant pointed, and sure enough, he saw Fang Yiqin, but the female cultivator next to him wearing a light green fairy skirt seemed to be a member of the Yuehua Sect?

"I didn't expect to meet you here today. It's really fate." Qi Zhao greeted him.

As they got closer, Qi Zhao glanced at the whistle hanging around Xu Changluo's waist and confirmed that she was a disciple of the Yuehua Sect.

Xu Changluo looked at the person who came and saw that the person was wearing a red dress, which had a gilded effect under the sunlight. He looked closely and found that the fabric was woven with gold thread, which was low-key and luxurious.

"My surname is Qi, my given name is Zhao, and I am the young master of Jin Man Lou. I don't know the names of the two Taoist friends?"

"Yuehua teaches Xu Changluo."

Fang Yiqin hesitated for a moment and said, "My name is Fang Yiqin, and I'm a casual cultivator."

Xu Changluo tilted his head slightly to look at him, and seeing that there was no expression on his face, he thought that Fang Yiqin must have a reason for doing this.

Qi Zhao smiled and suggested, "Since we have met here, why don't the three of us team up and go into the secret realm together?"

Since yesterday at Jin Manlou, Fang Yiqin guessed that Qi Zhao wanted to team up with him. Now that Qi Zhao asked directly, Fang Yiqin also wanted to find out more about the treasure hunting plate, so he nodded in agreement.

Seeing Fang Yiqin nod, Xu Changluo had no objection, so they formed a team of three. The cultivators around them looked at them and whispered, guessing who Fang Yiqin and Xu Changluo were, and why Qi Zhao took the initiative to find them to form a team.

Fang Yiqin didn't want to pay attention to those words. He leaned against the tree and closed his eyes to take a nap. He heard Qi Zhao ask Xu Changluo: "This is my first time entering the secret realm. I don't know what I should pay attention to after entering?"

"Actually, I haven't entered many secret realms. As for what to pay attention to, just react as you can after you enter." Xu Changluo said.

There was a commotion among the crowd. Fang Yiqin knew that the secret realm had been opened, so he said to the two of them, "The secret realm is open, let's go."

Xu Changluo nodded, thought for a moment, then took a few quick steps and walked in a row with Fang Yiqin.

After entering the secret realm, what came into view was a forest that was not much different from the one outside the secret realm. Qi Zhao said disappointedly: "I thought there would be something very different in the secret realm, but I didn't expect it to be no different from the outside."

"Most secret realms are basically mountains and forests, and only some special secret realms have wonders such as deserts, oceans, and snow-capped mountains." Fang Yiqin explained.

Thinking of an important thing, Fang Yiqin asked, "Qi Zhao, what are you studying as a cultivator?"

The air was a little quiet, and the chirping of cicadas in the trees seemed a little awkward.

"You don't know anything except Danqing, right? Do you know anything about talismans and formations?" Fang Yiqin asked in disbelief.

Qi Zhao shook his head and asked in confusion: "Although I am good at painting, what does this have to do with spell formations?"

……

This was a preconceived notion on his part. Seeing that Qiuqiu and An Wensheng could both draw something, he thought that since Qi Zhao loved drawing so much, he probably had something to do with talismans and formations.

After all, he was careless...

"Actually, I was forced by my family to come to the secret realm. I asked you to form a team because I wanted you to protect me. After we get out of the secret realm, you two Taoist friends can give me any reward you want."

Qi Zhao took out two purses from his storage bag and handed them to them, saying sincerely: "There are some spiritual stones in them, which can be regarded as my deposit to you two. Any treasures found in the secret realm will belong to you. When you leave the secret realm safely, I will give you other things.

Xu Changluo was not interested in spirit stones. Although her mother disliked her in Yuehua Sect, she never lacked her spirit stone resources. She also brought a lot of spirit stones with her this time. She knew that she was not strong, so she was not prepared to take on this task.

Fang Yiqin looked at the purse in Qi Zhao's hand and hesitated. Although the sect would regularly deposit spirit stones for him into the bank for his use as a disciple, the expenses along the way and the cost of maintaining the sword made him a little stretched.

So Fang Yiqin planned to take the purse and see how many spirit stones were in it. If it was not enough, he would ask Qi Zhao for more rewards after leaving the secret realm.

He opened his purse and saw five top-grade spirit stones. He secretly sighed in his heart that Qi Zhao was really rich. The deposit started with top-grade spirit stones, so how much would the reward be later?

Fang Yiqin admitted that he had to give in to the spirit stones a little bit for now. He needed funds to find his sister, and he was now accumulating funds to find Fang Jingqiu.

"Okay, I'll agree to your request." Fang Yiqin said as he put the purse into his storage bag.

Seeing Fang Yiqin agreed, Qi Zhao laughed, glanced at Xu Changluo and said, "In that case, let's go deeper into the secret realm."
