I Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] - Chapter 11
Due to the cultivation limit on the Secret Realm, it did not attract much attention from the major sects. Therefore, when Mo Xiao arrived with Zuo Wuyi and Yun He, the area around the Secret Realm was basically swarming with disciples from smaller sects.
The moment Mo Xiao and the others arrived near the Secret Realm, they immediately drew the attention of many people. Those people recognized the Dao Seeking Sect disciple robes they were wearing and began conversing in low voices. Before long, one person came over to strike up a conversation.
“Are the Daoists here to explore the Secret Realm? I am an Elder of the Jade Gold Sect,” the middle-aged man at the middle Golden Core stage introduced himself with a pleasant attitude.
Mo Xiao searched her memory for the name ‘Jade Gold Sect’ but found no impression, so she merely nodded in response.
“The Secret Realm here opened for the first time three hours ago, and the next opening will be in three more hours. We have set up a temporary resting place here. Why don’t the Daoists come over to rest for a while?” The Jade Gold Sect Elder was not surprised by Mo Xiao’s reaction. After all, they were just an obscure small sect, and he would have been surprised if Mo Xiao had been too enthusiastic.
“Thank you for informing us of this news,” Mo Xiao politely refused. “However, we can just rest briefly nearby.”
“Then I won’t bother the Daoists any further.” The Jade Gold Sect Elder did not say much more. He came over precisely to show his face to the Dao Seeking Sect disciples. This way, if anything went wrong inside the Secret Realm, he might be able to ask for their protection.
Such things happen in sequence. Seeing more people eager to approach, Mo Xiao immediately left with Yun He and Zuo Wuyi, finding a secluded, shaded area to use as a temporary resting spot.
“Senior Sister, let’s change our clothes in a moment. Wearing the sect robes seems a bit too conspicuous,” Yun He said. “Senior Sister, you brought other clothes, right?”
Mo Xiao nodded. “This time, I didn’t think things through.”
In her previous life, Mo Xiao basically cultivated in seclusion within the sect. Even when she went out, it was usually alone to places with demonic beasts for combat practice. She rarely ventured into Secret Realms like this, so she didn’t realize that Dao Seeking Sect disciples were such attractive targets in the eyes of other cultivators.
After Mo Xiao and Yun He had changed into casual clothes, they saw Zuo Wuyi squatting alone on the ground, pouting and sadly poking an old tree root with her finger.
“Junior Sister, why haven’t you changed your clothes?” Yun He asked with concern. “Did you not prepare any clothing?”
Zuo Wuyi first glared at Yun He with a drawn mouth, then looked at Mo Xiao with a wronged expression. “The two Senior Sisters can set up a barrier to block outsiders’ view, but I can’t. How am I supposed to change?”
Mo Xiao raised an eyebrow. “The clothing for Qi Refinement stage disciples is relatively simple. Junior Sister only needs to change her outer robe.”
Zuo Wuyi remained squatting on the ground. “But both Senior Sisters changed most of your clothes. I want to change all of mine too.”
“Be obedient,” Mo Xiao said. “You promised me this yourself.”
Hearing Mo Xiao’s words, Zuo Wuyi felt even more wronged. Master already agreed to let me come along, and yet Mo Xiao, this scoundrel, is taking advantage of the situation to impose conditions on me. Isn’t this clearly digging a trap for me to jump into?
“Zuo Wuyi, get up.” Mo Xiao’s voice became slightly firmer.
Zuo Wuyi reluctantly got up from the ground. “Then I want Senior Sister to help me change.” She was already here; she didn’t believe Mo Xiao would abandon her.
“Are you sure?” Mo Xiao asked.
“I’m sure,” Zuo Wuyi nodded, absolutely certain that Mo Xiao wouldn’t do anything to her.
The interaction between Mo Xiao and Zuo Wuyi made Yun He feel a little uneasy, so she quickly spoke up to break the strange atmosphere between the two. “Senior Sister, how about I help Junior Sister change?”
“No need, I’ll do it.” Mo Xiao chuckled softly, then squatted down. “Come, give me your clothes.”
“Here.” Zuo Wuyi produced her clothes, refusing to be outdone. She didn’t believe Mo Xiao would do anything to her.
Mo Xiao indeed did nothing improper. She took Zuo Wuyi’s clothes, formally removed her outer robe embroidered with the sect’s emblem, then helped Zuo Wuyi put on the new outer robe, finally meticulously straightening her belt and collar.
“Done.” Mo Xiao stood up, casually dusting off the corner of her own robe.
“Thank you, Senior Sister,” Zuo Wuyi thanked her obediently.
Yun He stood on the side, completely out of the loop. Did something happen between Senior Sister and Junior Sister that I don’t know about? How are they familiar enough to help each other change clothes?
After a brief rest, it was time for the Secret Realm to open. According to the message from her Master, everyone entering the Secret Realm could stay for a maximum of ten days. When the time was up, regardless of whether you were alive or dead, you would be expelled by the Secret Realm.
Upon entering the Secret Realm, Mo Xiao could clearly feel the surrounding spiritual energy density increase. At the same time, she sensed a danger approaching and immediately drew her sword, slashing towards her side.
“Awoo—” A massive roar echoed in Mo Xiao’s ears. A black leopard, about four meters tall, was forced back by the sword aura Mo Xiao swung.
“Watch out, Senior Sister!” Yun He quickly drew her sword, blocking a black leopard charging from another direction. This leopard was slightly smaller, about three meters tall.
Mo Xiao gripped her sword, shielding Zuo Wuyi with her body. “Be careful. Both of these leopards are Golden Core stage demonic beasts.”
“Mhm.” Yun He’s expression also grew serious. Seeing that the leopard intended to attack again, she immediately charged forward first.
“Stay where you are and don’t move,” Mo Xiao instructed, and quickly followed her up.
Although the two black leopards had the strength of the Golden Core stage, their intelligence was very limited. They couldn’t sustain the fight for even a quarter of an hour and were successively slain by Yun He.
“Phew, encountering Golden Core stage demonic beasts right away. I wonder if our luck is good or bad,” Yun He finally sighed in relief after seeing that both leopards were lifeless.
“Go and take the valuable items, then we’ll leave this place,” Mo Xiao put away her sword and stood beside Zuo Wuyi. “Demonic beasts usually don’t act alone. There should be quite a few demonic beasts nearby. Once the smell of blood spreads, it will be difficult to leave.”
“Understood, Senior Sister,” Yun He replied.
Using her sword, Yun He skillfully extracted the most valuable inner cores from the leopards. After cleaning them, she handed the larger one to Mo Xiao. “Senior Sister, this is your share.”
“No need, you keep them all,” Mo Xiao said.
Yun He shook her head. “I can’t do that. If Senior Sister hadn’t helped cover me, I couldn’t have handled two demonic beasts.”
“Then give me the other one,” Mo Xiao didn’t want to waste more words on such a trivial matter.
“Alright.” Yun He readily handed the other inner core to Mo Xiao. Both inner cores were Golden Core stage, so the price difference was not significant.
Mo Xiao took the inner core, weighed it, and then casually handed it to Zuo Wuyi. “Keep it safe.”
“Ah?” Zuo Wuyi received the inner core in a daze. “Why are you giving it to me?”
“Didn’t you ask for it?” Mo Xiao said, then spoke two sentences to Zuo Wuyi in a voice that was barely audible.
“You are not allowed to accept gifts from anyone else in the future. Even if you do, you must show them to me immediately.”
“Zuo Wuyi, you haven’t forgotten this, have you?”
