I Reloaded the Save File! [Transmigration] - Chapter 59

Adhering to the principle of keeping a low profile, Mo Xiao’s group changed into attire similar to ordinary cultivators, wearing black clothes underneath and wrapping themselves in a slightly heavy white coat.

Having learned their lesson once, no one this time bothered to be nosy. If they found someone following them, regardless of the opponent’s cultivation, they immediately sped up and shook them off, giving them no chance to get close.

In this way, after traveling for four days with almost no rest, Mo Xiao and her group successfully reached the inn closest to the center of the extreme northern region.

This inn was larger than the previous ones, and significantly so. Judging by the scale of the building, accommodating one to two thousand people was not a problem.

“Only ten high-grade spirit stones to stay for one day?” Zuo Wuyi was stunned when she heard the price of this inn.

This was the center of the extreme northern region. Any cultivator who came here basically needed a place to stay. As the only inn, it monopolized all the resources. Under such circumstances, the inn not only didn’t raise its price but also offered a discount to less than one-tenth of the original price?

Is the owner of this inn a philanthropist? Or did the previous inns earn enough money, and this one is a gratitude-return to the public?

Zuo Wuyi didn’t figure out the reason but still paid the spirit stones for three days and moved in with Mo Xiao.

After walking inside, Zuo Wuyi realized that the inn’s interior was even larger than it appeared on the surface. Besides the three above-ground floors, there were three underground floors.

The three above-ground floors were mainly for accommodation. The three underground floors were designated for cultivators to spar and trade goods. If you stayed only on the third underground floor, you only needed to pay one high-grade spirit stone per day.

Although the fee was lowered, the upper three floors of this inn maintained the original rule: no fighting or brawling with spiritual energy was allowed. Anyone who caused trouble would be permanently banned from entering the inn.

This rule was very friendly to well-meaning cultivators like Mo Xiao’s group, greatly ensuring the safety of the cultivators.

After roughly familiarizing themselves with the environment, Mo Xiao and the four others planned to go out and search for the rumored Secret Realm inheritance once the next snowstorm passed.

“I heard them discussing that there was some discovery to the east of the inn. Should we go in that direction?” Yun He asked.

Yun Yu shook her head. “If it’s truly related to the Secret Realm, the news wouldn’t spread so fast. We’ll stick to our original plan, continue north, and see what the very center looks like.”

“Okay, I’ll listen to Senior Sister!” Yun He quickly changed her mind. Her brain wasn’t capable enough anyway, so listening was sufficient.

“Here are some defensive artifacts I bought. Yun He, take them. Maybe they will come in handy,” As a technician, Qiu Wu had no intention of searching for the Secret Realm. Purchasing supplies and researching new weapons here was more attractive to her.

Yun He hesitated for a moment, then accepted them. “Alright. If I find any strange materials, I’ll bring them all back for you.”

“Mhm,” Qiu Wu nodded.

After gathering enough medicinal pills, Mo Xiao and the group of four set off toward the north.

At first, the wind and snow were heavy, but as time went on, the surroundings gradually became quiet. The originally violent snowstorm seemed to lose its temper, turning into nearly vertically falling snowflakes.

“Be careful. It’s strangely quiet here,” Yun Yu said, taking out her spiritual sword and vigilantly observing her surroundings.

Mo Xiao nodded, then took three steps back, drawing her sword to guard the rear.

In this way, Yun Yu led the way, and Mo Xiao brought up the rear, protecting Yun He and Zuo Wuyi, whose combat strength was relatively weaker, in the middle.

The surroundings were eerily quiet. Yun Yu concentrated and moved forward little by little, ready for a demonic beast to jump out at any moment.

But strangely, under such a quiet environment, nothing happened at all. After maintaining vigilance for half an hour, the four successfully arrived at the very center of the extreme northern region.

“Is this the place we are looking for?” Zuo Wuyi looked at the obviously problematic cave entrance before them, feeling confused.

“This…” Yun Yu was also uncertain. “Don’t move yet. I’ll go check the situation first.”

As the Eldest Senior Sister, Yun Yu was the first to approach the cave entrance. A layer of white mist emanated from the entrance, blocking both her vision and spiritual sense. She could only tentatively insert half of her spiritual sword inside and observe the situation through it.

A stick of incense passed, but the cave entrance had no reaction and remained exactly as it was.

No danger? Yun Yu raised an eyebrow. Her courage grew, and she extended her hand inside.

Yun Yu felt it carefully. “There seems to be no danger. Don’t come over yet. I’ll go inside first.”

After saying that, Yun Yu didn’t give them a chance to react, taking a single step and walking right in.

As Yun Yu’s body completely passed through the entrance, she felt a rich spiritual energy. The concentration of this spiritual energy was comparable to a spiritual energy spring created by stacking high-grade spirit stones.

The space inside was vast. A conspicuous white palace stood clearly in the distance. The temperature here had also risen significantly, similar to the temperature of early winter on a normal day.

After confirming that the surroundings were safe, Yun Yu exited the cave entrance and briefly explained the situation inside.

Zuo Wuyi was still hesitant. According to her female protagonist physique, she would likely only gain something after enduring some hardships. This overly friendly Secret Realm didn’t fit her usual style.

“Don’t worry. We are together,” Mo Xiao noticed Zuo Wuyi’s apprehension. After all, the last Secret Realm hadn’t left a good impression on them.

“Mhm,” Zuo Wuyi only hesitated for a moment. After all, opportunities were always accompanied by danger. Although her female protagonist physique was prone to causing trouble, she also had the halo that prevented her from dying unexpectedly.

After passing through the cave entrance, the rich spiritual energy inside felt incredibly comfortable. Mo Xiao and the others all saw the white palace, but no one approached rashly. Instead, they sat down to meditate and regulate their breathing near the entrance, ensuring they were in the best possible state.

About an hour later, Mo Xiao opened her eyes and stood up, repeatedly moving in and out of the entrance, trying to find any clue.

“I didn’t feel any restriction. If we wanted to, we could leave immediately,” Mo Xiao paused. “But I suspect that we might have already entered the Secret Realm when we approached the entrance.”

“I agree. Although most people went in other directions, we aren’t the only ones who walked toward the center,” Zuo Wuyi said. “The fact that no other cultivator has entered for a whole hour is a bit unusual.”

Yun Yu nodded and asked, “Do you want to cultivate here, advance toward the palace, or leave the cave now? I personally lean toward continuing forward.”

“Since we are already here, let’s go take a look,” Yun He’s thought process was simple, and she had few worries. “The entrance is right here, after all. If there’s any danger, we can retreat in time.”

“I have no objections,” Mo Xiao said.

“I’ll follow Senior Sister,” Zuo Wuyi didn’t care. She had her trump card, anyway.
