Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 996: Leaving 996

All the disciples who entered fell from the sky. The elders present were taken aback.

They quickly organized the disciples of their own sect and found that none were harmed.

Ye Wenxian frowned here. He hadn’t seen the Tan family father and son?

"Where are Tan Shaoting and the others?"

Luo Yinghui’s face looked very unpleasant. "Reporting to Martial Uncle, after entering the secret realm, Tan Shaoting and his father got separated from us. I was with them, but a few days later, they entered the Land of No Spirit. I didn’t follow them.

And when we were thrown out, there was an explosion in the Land of No Spirit. After that, we were thrown out."

Ye Wenxian frowned, pondering whether they haven’t come out yet? The entrance to the secret realm was no longer visible now.

"You all rest here; let’s wait a bit longer for their return."

In the presence of absolute power, even those dissatisfied had to wait.

Ye Wenxian looked at the sky where the disciples had fallen earlier; now it was clear blue without any abnormalities. They waited until the second day.

Ye Wenxian sighed, thinking they couldn’t return. Did they encounter danger? Anyway, he had followed his heart and waited for them for a day.

"Alright, everyone get up. Let’s return to the sect."

This trip to the secret realm was thrilling yet without any gains. Everyone was in a foul mood. Even though they initially knew that there was nothing in the Wolf Tooth Mountain Secret Realm, they all secretly hoped for something.

Ye Wenxian led the disciples back to the Shushan Sect five days later.

Luo Yunhai already knew about the secret realm situation, but since Tan Shaoting and his father hadn’t returned, this matter was constantly on his mind.

When he knew that Ye Wenxian had returned, many Peak Masters and elders came over, knowing that Ye Wenxian was the clearest on this matter.

After the stewards made arrangements for the disciples, Ye Wenxian went to the conference hall at the mountain top. Seeing almost everyone had arrived, he said, "Sect Leader, let’s call all the elders."

Luo Yunhai, upon hearing this, assumed it was something important and quickly sent out a Sound Transmission Talisman.

Once everyone had arrived, Ye Wenxian began narrating the events at the Wolf Tooth Mountain Market.

"Sect Leader, this is something Tan Shaoting and his father asked me to hand over to the Shushan Sect. The reason I wanted everyone to come is that I believe it’s significant."

A box and a storage bag were remotely placed beside Luo Yunhai.

Some people were indifferent, thinking, what could four cultivators in the Qi Cultivation Stage offer to the sect?

Luo Yunhai opened the jade box with an expressionless face and let out a gasp.

They were all experienced cultivators, and even if they hadn’t seen a Vermilion Fruit before, they knew what the Vermilion Fruit Tree looked like. It was essential knowledge for every cultivator to avoid missing out on valuable finds outside due to ignorance.

"A Vermilion Fruit Tree, and an aged one at that?" Many people exclaimed in surprise.

Luo Yunhai’s face also showed great surprise. He quickly covered the box and said, "Pill Refining Peak Master, select a good spot immediately to plant the Vermilion Fruit Tree. Array Peak Master, arrange a formation to ensure its protection."

The two stood up, performed a salute, and accepted the orders.

Luo Yunhai opened the storage bag and emptied out six colored stones and a piece of paper.

He ignored the six stones and picked up the piece of paper, which read: True Words obtained from the Trial Tower, "Seven Stars Linked, Blood of the Otherworld."

Many people saw these eight words.

"Sect Leader, what does this mean?"

"A message from the Trial Tower? It seems that the one who truly reached the top was Tan Shaoting."

Ye Wenxian frowned, looking at the six stones on the table.

"The Seven Stars Linked, and now he provided six stones which should represent the six Spirit Roots, except for purple, lacking the Thunder Spirit Root."

His words left the hall in silence. Everyone looked at the six stones on the table, contemplating Ye Wenxian’s explanation.

His words did have some merit. This means these stones are missing one, but currently, the entire continent lacks a Thunder Spirit Root.

Luo Yunhai pondered these eight words while considering Ye Wenxian’s words.

"What is this Blood of the Otherworld all about? Also, this matter is not something our Shushan Sect can bear alone. We should convene all the sect leaders to discuss it."

All the Elder Peak Masters had no objections. Indeed, seeing just eight words and a few items was not the time to hide or conceal; it concerned the fate of the entire continent.

Luo Yunhai put away the two items and began sending messages to all the sect leaders on the continent. Regardless of the size of the sect, as long as they could be contacted, they were invited over.

Tan Shaoting, unaware of anything, felt the familiar sensation of being transported comfortably after entering the time tunnel, although it was frustratingly uncomfortable. He gripped the carrier of the secret realm tightly.

Eager to return home, despite the discomfort, it felt quicker than when he arrived.

This time, Su Yuanyuan could see their situation inside the time tunnel. She was really worried, with the children inside Tan Shaoting’s space. But with Gu Ersheng by Tan Shaoting’s side, her instincts reassured her that it was not dangerous.

She kept watching them. This time, she was fortunate to be able to sustain the vision for an extended period.

Soon, she saw Gu Ersheng cast a spell, and the two of them emerged from the time tunnel.

Su Yuanyuan saw that the place where they landed was exactly where she had buried something, and she was astonished. However, she quickly accepted it. After experiencing such fantastical events, finding the exact location wasn’t anything surprising.

Tan Shaoting felt grounded only after stepping on the solid earth. He immediately took out the mirror, smiling at his wife and feeling the excitement mirrored on his own face.

"Yuanyuan, I’m here. Is this the place?"

Su Yuanyuan quickly nodded, "Yes, this is it. The item is beneath your feet. Now, don’t say anything. To save time, listen to me first."

She hurriedly laid out all her arrangements, including plans after accomplishing their task.

"There’s no problem with your return, right? Should I come over to pick you up?"

Tan Shaoting smiled and shook his head, "No need, no need. Just wait for us."

Su Yuanyuan nodded, "I know your learning abilities. You take the three children and learn the language there first. There’s no rush; since the setup is made, let’s do it perfectly."

Tan Shaoting nodded, "Rest assured, I’ll handle it."

He said this while releasing the three children.

"Dad, are we back?"

Tan Shaoting excitedly nodded, "Yes, we’re back. You get to see your Mom."

The three children looked at the mirror excitedly.

Su Yuanyuan instructed, "Make sure to listen to your Dad, complete the task over there, and Mom will be waiting for you at home."

All three children nodded, "Mom, we will. Even just being under the same sky with you feels so good."
