　　“If you go alone and something unexpected happens, there is no way to remedy it. If I go with you, even if there is an accident, we can find a way to escape together. At worst, we will just leave the Qingxuan Sect.”
　　Xu Taiping held Bai Yu in his hand and looked at it seriously.
　　“Now that Taiping has finally gained a firm foothold in the Qingxuan Sect, if you give up everything and leave the Qingxuan Sect because of my matter, it would be a great pity.”
　　Bai Yu’s eyes were full of guilt.
　　“You, me, Ping’an, and Sister Lingyue are now like family. How can there be a reason to abandon family？”
　　Xu Taiping was a little angry.
　　Bai Yu was stunned when he heard this, and then turned his head away, as if not wanting Xu Taiping to see his expression at the moment.
　　“Sister Lingyue, you help me watch him. Before I come back, he must not be allowed to act without permission.”
XuTaiping instructed LingyueFairy.
　　Lingyue Fairy just separated a strand of divine sense to follow him, and the matter here can still be dealt with.
　　“There are so many things to take care of in the medicine garden every day. Does this kid still have time to play？”
　　Lingyue Fairy glared at Bai Yu.
　　“I’m avenging, not playing！”
　　Bai Yu flew onto Ping’an’s head in one go.
　　But immediately he was hung up by a bamboo strip controlled by Lingyue Fairy.
　　“Whether you want to avenge or play, the bugs in the medicine garden every day must be caught clean, otherwise you can’t go anywhere.”
　　Lingyue Fairy controlled the bamboo strip and flicked Bai Yu hard, throwing him towards the direction of the medicine garden.
　　“Xu Taiping, you and this old woman are bullying me together. I don’t want to stay in this house for a moment！”
　　Bai Yu roared with grief and indignation in his voice.
But immediately, tender green bamboo strips like countless whips, lashed towards Bai Yu’s direction in unison.
　　“Don’t, don’t hit anymore. I’ll catch them. Isn’t it okay if I catch them？”
　　“Ouch, sister. I promise you that during the time Taiping is away, I won’t go anywhere！”
　　Bai Yu’s miserable screams and pleas for mercy rang out one after another.
　　Ever since having this bamboo, Fairy Lingyue’s combat power has skyrocketed at the forefront.
　　“Taiping, go with peace of mind. This kid has me here.”
　　While controlling the bamboo strips to continue whipping towards Bai Yu, Fairy Lingyue looked at Xu Taiping with a smile.
　　Xu Taiping’s mouth twitched.
　　“Sister Lingyue, there’s no need to be so severe.”
　　He smiled at Fairy Lingyue and said.
“You boy is questioning my way of discipline?”
　　Fairy Lingyue glared at Xu Taiping.
　　“No,　no,　no.”
　　Xu Taiping quickly waved his hand, thinking that Bai Yu, you can only seek more blessings for yourself.
　　After all, if Fairy Lingyue really gets angry, he will only be the one to get beaten up.
　　“By the way, you take these three bamboo leaves well.”
　　At this time, Fairy Lingyue handed three bamboo leaves folded into a triangular shape to Xu Taiping.
　　“I have left a divine sense in each bamboo leaf. Try to keep them until you find the entrance to the first floor or encounter a critical situation before opening them, because each divine sense can only last for half a stick of incense at most.”
She then continued to instruct Xu Taiping.
　　“Thank you, Sister Lingyue. I’ve taken note of it.”
　　Xu Taiping took the three bamboo leaves and then nodded.
　　Although Fairy Lingyue has already helped Xu Taiping complete the map of the Immortal Gourd Secret Realm according to her memory.
　　The positions of the monster beasts on the two floors, the position of the entrance to the Jade Gourd, and the entrance to the second floor of the secret realm have all been marked in detail.
　　But after all, so much time has passed, and everything is subject to change. At that time, Fairy Lingyue will need to help check in person.
　　……
　　Five　days　later.
　　In the bamboo forest in the backyard of Youxuanju on the Seventh Peak.
　　“To watch this battle for the Immortal Gourd, not only do you have to buy a spiritual realm from the Nine Mansions, but you also have to spend three hundred gold essence coins. The current lord of the Nine Mansions is really good at doing business.”
　　Looking at Senior Brother Qingxiao, who was throwing one gold essence coin after another into the huge bronze mirror on the table, Zhao Linglong’s face was full of pain.
　　“The price has doubled compared to last year. If it weren’t for Taiping this time, I wouldn’t be bothered to watch it either.”
　　Xu Ziyan on the side also had a slight frown.
　　“Some small sects can probably only earn two or three hundred gold essence coins in a month. Without the three of you chipping in a little each this time, I probably wouldn’t be able to watch it either.”
　　After throwing the last gold essence coin into the bronze mirror, Qingxiao sat down in one go.
　　In the past two years, he has been in seclusion most of the time and rarely accepted the rewards of the Nine Mansions. The gold essence coins on his body have been almost exhausted, so he has reached the point of pooling money with several junior sisters to watch this battle for the Immortal Gourd.
　　Only Lin Buyu’s expression remained as calm as ever.
　　At this moment, she was reading a script titled ‘Records of the Qingcheng Female Hero’ with great relish. From time to time, she would also fiddle with the jade bracelet on her wrist. When she read something interesting, sometimes the corners of her mouth would slightly rise.
　　Looking at this scene, Xu Ziyan couldn’t help but sigh and said：
　　“I remember the last time the few of us got together, it seemed to be because of Junior Brother Taiping as well.”
　　“That’s right, that’s right.”
　　Zhao Linglong, who was putting a pile of food and pastries on the table, nodded repeatedly when she heard this.
　　“Last time, the two of us were still worried whether Taiping could go up the mountain. Now he can already compete for the tripod among the talented disciples of the Nine Mansions in the Jade Gourd Cave Heaven. It really feels like a dream.”
　　Xu Ziyan said with a smile again.
　　“Here　it　comes.”
　　Qing Xiao, who had been fiddling with that bronze mirror, suddenly said lightly.
　　When everyone heard this, they all looked at the huge bronze mirror on the table.
　　Even Lin Buyu, who had been lowering her head to read the script, raised her head at this time and looked at the bronze mirror with a bit of curiosity in her eyes.
　　I saw that in the bronze mirror, an old man with all white hair and beard, as thin as a skeleton, was sitting cross-legged on a high platform with his eyes closed and holding the jade gourd in his hand.
　　“It’s Jade Green Layman.”
　　Xu　Ziyan　said.
　　Jade Green Hermit, precisely the master of the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven and also the first-generation master of the Nine Mansions.
　　Following the image in the bronze mirror, it began to sweep across the slightly immature faces around the high platform.
　　“It’s Taiping！”
　　Finally, Xu Taiping’s face also appeared on the bronze mirror. Although it was only a flash, it still made Zhao Linglong and the others extremely excited.
　　“Boom！ ……”
　　Just as the people of the Nine Mansions finished reading the rules of this Jade Gourd Seizing the Tripod and the matters that needed attention, Jade Green Hermit, who had originally been closing his eyes, suddenly opened his eyes, and then the cap of the jade gourd in his hand was opened.
　　An extremely strong suction force sucked all the disciples around the high platform in.
　　That’s right, the Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven is in the jade gourd in the hand of Jade Green Hermit.
　　The image on the bronze mirror, after a brief darkness, quickly became bright again.
　　A scene that is very different from the natural scenery of True Martial Heaven appeared in the bronze mirror.
　　“Although it’s not the first time I’ve seen it, I still feel that the scene in this Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven is very much like the legendary foreign land outside the sky.”
　　Zhao Linglong’s eyes were wide open, staring at the bronze mirror on the table in surprise.
　　“There is indeed a rumor that this Immortal Gourd Cave Heaven comes from a foreign land.”
　　Second Senior Brother Qing Xiao nodded.
　　“Senior Brother, quickly look for Taiping on the bronze mirror to see if you can find him.”
　　Zhao Linglong suddenly urged.
　　She wasn’t interested in the disciples of other sects and only wanted to know the current situation of Xu Taiping.
　　“I’ll give it a try. Taiping has no intention of going to Jade Gourd Peak to seize the tripod. Maybe he will find a mountain area to hide.”
　　Qing Xiao nodded and his fingers began to move on the bronze mirror.
　　“Rumble！…”
Before he could find Xu Taiping’s trace, a rumbling tremor suddenly came from the bronze mirror.
　　“Ah！”
Just as everyone was wondering where the tremor came from, a bloodshot eyeball suddenly appeared in the bronze mirror, almost occupied the entire picture of the bronze mirror, scaring Zhao Linglong back a step.
　　“What　is　this？！”
　　Senior Sister Xu Ziyan also stood up in surprise at this time.
　　At the same time, one after another of shrill screams began to appear in the bronze mirror.
　　The expressions of several people changed drastically at the same time.
