The Xu Shen Valley held powerful restrictions, which were now gradually weakening, allowing passage for those below the Ling He realm.
Another brain-dead idiot, an immediate goodwill loss of 30. Even though I'm from the Demonic Sect, there's no need for this.
Jiang Li grumbled inwardly.
Tang Siqi put away the flying boat and began conversing with Cao Rong.
She showed no hesitation in revealing her identity as a disciple of the Demonic Sect.
Jiang Li took the opportunity to check the life scripts of the other Qing Yang Sect disciples.
After a cursory glance, Jiang Li noted that although these Qing Yang Sect disciples were all at the Dan Yuan realm, they were uniformly destined for a bloody disaster.
They would all be slaughtered by the Huang Quan Demonic Sect members who arrived later, after Jiang Li and the others entered the Xu Shen Valley.
Looking at Tang Siqi, who was conversing cheerfully with Cao Rong not far away, Jiang Li felt a sense of admiration.
She clearly wanted to kill them all, yet maintained such a friendly demeanor. This woman was rather terrifying.
It seemed he also needed to be careful, lest he be tricked into counting money for her while being fleeced.
Eh, is that one a stray? She doesn't have a bloody disaster.
Jiang Li's gaze fell upon a delicate girl with a furrowed brow and attractive features, standing beside Cao Rong.
[Name]: Li Qin
[Cultivation Realm]: Dan Yuan Triple Heaven
[Physique]: Ling Wang Body
[Destiny]: Astonishing Luck (Blue), Exceptional Talent (Blue), Array Dao Genius (Blue), Saint King Potential (Purple).
[Life Script]: A supporting character in "Chaos Against the Heavens." Granddaughter of the Qing Yang Sect's Grand Elder, doted upon by him… A standard admirer of beauty… Possesses immense talent in the Array Dao… Noticed and taken as a Saintess by the Tai Xuan Holy Land…
[Goodwill]: 20
[Recent Turning Point]: Obtains an Earth-tier Spirit Treasure within the Xu Shen Valley's secret realm.
To be able to obtain an Earth-tier Spirit Treasure inside, her luck was even greater than that of Cao Rong.
Moreover, Saint King Potential, just like Tang Siqi. Jiang Li's eyes lit up.
Was this Li Qin's talent so exceptional? And she had the Ling Wang Body.
The Ling Wang Body was an extremely powerful Kingly Physique. While it couldn't compare to Su Ming's Undying Divine Body, it was still a renowned constitution on the Desolate Ancient Continent.
Admirer of beauty… isn't that just a superficial person? No wonder she had 20 goodwill towards me the moment she saw me.
And this was even after knowing I'm from the Demonic Sect.
Li Qin, standing not far away, seemed to notice Jiang Li's gaze. Her cheeks flushed slightly.
Why is this Demonic Sect disciple staring at me like this… Li Qin's heart fluttered like a startled deer.
Even though you're very handsome, but… I won't… Li Qin couldn't help but think.
Li Qin then turned to look at her senior brother and found him engaged in a lively conversation with Tang Siqi from the Demonic Sect.
His gentle expression was enough to melt an iceberg. Li Qin had never seen her senior brother look at anyone with such an expression.
Li Qin's eyes were filled with displeasure. Why was her senior brother chatting so happily with that vixen? Didn't he say he was just using her?
Li Qin, looking at her senior brother whose eyes were solely on Tang Siqi, felt utterly dejected.
Damn vixen, daring to seduce my senior brother… It's infuriating… Truly infuriating…
That's right, since this vixen dares to seduce my senior brother, then I'll seduce one of your Demonic Sect disciples… No… I'll help him turn from evil to good…
"Alright, let's prepare to enter!"
Just as Li Qin was lost in her chaotic thoughts, Tang Siqi's voice rang out.
Li Qin's face turned as bitter as a melon. I haven't even made my move yet…
"Junior Brother Jiang Li, the Xu Shen Valley has powerful restrictions that will exert immense pressure on the mind. Be careful when you enter!" Tang Siqi said to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li nodded. No wonder she brought him along.
So that was the reason. During the outer sect assessment, Tang Siqi had used the Illusory Spirit Sound for the assessment.
It was likely to screen for those with strong mental power.
Then she gave him a divine forging martial art to enhance his mental strength.
On the other side, Cao Rong was also cautioning Li Qin.
Eh, Cao Rong's goodwill towards me?
Jiang Li suddenly realized that Cao Rong's goodwill towards him had increased slightly, reaching 10 points.
What kind of operation is this…
Did Tang Siqi say something to Cao Rong just now…
Following that, Tang Siqi also gave Jiang Li a Yellow-tier Spirit Treasure that could resist some mental attacks, a delicate bracelet.
After everyone had prepared, they headed towards the Xu Shen Valley.
…
Inside the Xu Shen Valley, it was filled with desolate jungle.
Sandstorms flew, and the roars of various ferocious beasts occasionally echoed.
As soon as they entered the Xu Shen Valley, Jiang Li felt a powerful oppressive force coming from all directions.
An overwhelming pressure assaulted his mind.
The bracelet in Jiang Li's hand emitted a strange glow, forming a faint shield around him.
Simultaneously, Jiang Li's "Tai Xuan Gathering Spirit Art" slowly circulated, continuously protecting him.
Tang Siqi in front was enveloped in a pale green glow, clearly having activated her protective artifact.
Cao Rong and Li Qin beside them also had means of protection.
However, everyone's faces were pale. The shock of the mental impact placed immense pressure on them.
No wonder strong mental power was required. This impact would likely turn an ordinary Dan Yuan realm cultivator into an imbecile, Jiang Li thought.
"In another quarter of an hour, we will be out of the range of this mental storm!" Tang Siqi said.
Everyone nodded, then gritted their teeth and continued to press forward.
After a while, they passed through the mental storm area.
The surrounding environment also began to lose its oppressive nature. A gentle breeze blew, and Jiang Li felt incredibly refreshed.
After leaving that area, Jiang Li and the others trembled, their faces pale.
Especially Li Qin, despite being protected by a spirit treasure, she still suffered a significant impact.
Tang Siqi took out spirit pills from her spatial ring and gave them to Jiang Li to recover.
Jiang Li did not refuse. Although he had his own, it was free, so why not use it.
"Young Master Cao, the formation ahead is for you to handle!" After handing the pill to Jiang Li, Tang Siqi smiled and said to Cao Rong beside her.
Jiang Li looked forward, activating his "Spiritual Clarity Eyes." In the desolate valley ahead, it seemed a terrifying aura was pervading.
Is there a formation guarding it? Jiang Li's heart stirred.
The formation ahead was composed of the spiritual energy from the surrounding plants and forests, containing an extremely powerful aura.
If they rashly entered, they would be torn apart by the terrifying aura.
Cao Rong nodded, "Junior Sister Li Qin, the formation ahead is up to you!"
Li Qin, nourished by the spirit pills, slowly recovered her spirit and stamina.
Upon hearing Cao Rong's words, a hint of pride appeared in Li Qin's eyes.
Hmph, in the end, you still have to rely on me…
…
