Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 994: Secret Realm 994

He planned to enter the array at night to dissolve the contract between them.

Along the way, they were also putting on an act. The children would pick some ordinary spirit plants. This secret realm opens once every five years, so even if there are spirit plants inside, they are of few years.

When night came, the family of four found a relatively safe place and set up a fifth-rank array plate. After all, to dissolve a contract, they didn’t know if any anomalies would occur, so it was better to be cautious.

Luo Yinghui and the other five followed from a distance, watched them enter the array, and then also went inside to rest.

They were really disheartened during this journey. There was nothing. Spirit plants so common that one spirit stone could buy ten stalks outside.

Where is the opportunity in this secret realm? Thus, two of them did not want to follow Luo Yinghui anymore but didn’t have the courage to say it.

Once Tan Shaoting entered the array, he released the long-armed ape. But to their surprise, the long-armed ape began to shrink bit by bit before their eyes, turning into a small monkey only the size of a palm.

Qi Wen, being a girl, immediately felt her love overflowing.

The long-armed ape was a bit annoyed, thinking it couldn’t return to its original form. But they still saw it, and what was with that girl’s expression? It turned away from Qi Wen with a proud demeanor.

Tan Shaoting stifled a laugh and began to draw the array, the array to dissolve the contract.

Without a ripple, the contract between them was dissolved.

"Senior, when are you planning to leave?"

"Aren’t you headed to the Land of No Spirit? I’m going there too."

Qi Wen walked over with a sweet smile, "Senior, come with me, I’ll take you into the Land of No Spirit."

The long-armed ape haughtily ignored her, but Qi Wen wasn’t angry. Her eyes flickered, and she took out a lot of delicacies.

"Senior, let’s eat together. These are all your favorites. I specially prepared a lot for you. When we leave in the future, you’ll still have something to eat when you’re on your own."

The long-armed ape felt touched in its heart; it chose them because it could sense the goodness and evil within people.

Qi Wen cheerfully sat across from the long-armed ape, handing it delicacies.

After the meal, the family rested together. There were only five days left until the fifteenth of July. They didn’t have much time, but the Land of No Spirit suited them. It might be extremely difficult for others, but they were different.

"Dad, should we travel overnight?"

"That would draw too much attention. We still have time."

Early the next morning, the long-armed ape nestled into Qi Wen’s sleeve. Thus, the family set off again.

The long-armed ape had been away from the secret realm for many years. Seeing how barren it had become, it felt deeply saddened. Did fate leave it any hope for survival?

In the evening, they rested again, now very close to the Land of No Spirit. By noon tomorrow, they would surely be inside.

Unhappiness arose within Luo Yinghui’s group.

"Senior sister, I’m planning not to follow you tomorrow."

"Me too, I want to try my luck and see what opportunities I might find."

Luo Yinghui was very displeased, "I was following the Sect Leader’s orders. If you don’t want to, so be it."

Upon hearing that she was following Sect Leader’s orders, the other two who were wavering ceased talking about leaving.

The two disciples who mentioned leaving felt some regret, but since they had spoken, they decided to follow through.

The next day, around noon, after the family entered the Land of No Spirit, Luo Yinghui behind them frowned. She held much information about the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm and knew this was the Land of No Spirit. Along the way, she had suspected they wanted to enter it.

Now, it seemed true. What were they doing there? Was it worth following or abandoning them?

If they continued to follow, who knew what might happen. After all, they were cultivators who relied on spiritual energy. Entering the Land of No Spirit would leave them powerless, like children, vulnerable.

But not following would mean disobeying the Sect Leader’s order, right?

"Senior sister, I will not enter here. Though the mission is important, nothing is more important than life."

Now it was just the three of them, and one was firm in quitting. Another thought for a moment, "Senior sister, I will also quit. I don’t have your abilities."

If the two of us enter, we will only burden you. We can’t help, but we certainly don’t want to be dead weight either."

Luo Yinghui felt even more uncertain; she had no body training. What if there was real danger inside? They were right. Nothing mattered more than life.

After thinking it through, Luo Yinghui nodded, "You’re right, I won’t go in either. After all, the Land of No Spirit occupies a large part of this secret realm.

There probably aren’t any good items inside anyway. If you wish, leave. I’ll wait here."

The two stopped talking about leaving. After all, this was the Sect Leader’s command, and they would surely be rewarded upon completing it. They wouldn’t leave now.

Tan Shaoting and his family felt uncomfortable after entering the Land of No Spirit.

After all, as spirit cultivators, suddenly having no spiritual energy took some adjusting.

However, they knew that in the future, when they returned, it would be like this. They had to adapt.

"Alright, let’s make the most of our time."

The family of four had trained in movement techniques, so they weren’t affected here.

There was no sign of others inside.

"Senior, we’ll be leaving now."

The long-armed ape shook its head, "I’ll follow you; I want to see you leave with my own eyes."

Tan Shaoting had no objections. Thus, the family of four set off. They moved swiftly. The Land of No Spirit occupied a quarter of the secret realm. With no one else around, they weren’t worried about danger. They pressed forward at full speed.

A day and a night later, they exited the Land of No Spirit, arriving at the mouth of the valley where they had appeared.

Finally, the family of four breathed a sigh of relief. They had just one day until July fifteenth. They weren’t late.

The long-armed ape also jumped out, "This is the valley you spoke of, right? Let’s go. There’s no danger here."

The family of four followed behind the long-armed ape. Before leaving, Tan Shaoting had marked the area. They found the mark easily.

There were no abnormalities here either.

Tan Shaoting asked the children to sit and eat while he took out the mirror. Not a single change on its surface, just a hazy mist,

The family of four felt excited; they could finally see Mom. They all stared at the mirror.
