My Five Bigshot Seniors: I am The Most Coddled Junior!-Chapter 373 - 53: Each Faces Their Own Ordeal

Not to mention that Immortal Venerable Hao Lan almost wanted to drag Lou Mingyu back for a beating after reading the note, even Gu Qingqing, who entered the Secret Realm, was a bit confused at this moment.

Although she knew the Secret Realm involved random teleportation and was mentally prepared, Gu Qingqing didn’t expect that when she opened her eyes, she would be facing a high-level True Immortal Realm Red Blood Python.

The environment she was in now was a large cave. The cave had Luminous Pearls installed on the ceiling, emitting a gentle light. The ground was very smooth, and not far from her, a coiled Red Blood Python was cautiously watching her.

The Red Blood Python’s entire body was crimson red with a white stripe running across it. Its body was coiled, making it hard for Gu Qingqing to determine its length, but its head was huge, definitely capable of swallowing someone like Gu Qingqing whole.

Its fangs were extremely venomous; just a little of its poisonous liquid could kill a person with True Immortal Realm cultivation or a spirit beast.

When Gu Qingqing appeared, the Red Blood Python was eating, and in front of it was a half-dead Heavenly Immortal Realm spirit beast, a Jiuyun Deer.

It seemed a bit surprised by Gu Qingqing’s sudden appearance and was merely watching her cautiously without attacking immediately.

After a moment of shock, Gu Qingqing’s mind quickly turned, and she decided not to engage the Red Blood Python. Thus, she put on a fawning smile.

"Um, sorry, I wandered in by mistake. I won’t disturb your meal, you continue." She spoke while cautiously retreating.

Spirit beasts above the Heavenly Immortal Realm have high intelligence. The Red Blood Python continued to watch Gu Qingqing, and just as she was about to retreat to the cave’s entrance, it suddenly lunged. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

Its mouth opened wide, body swiftly darting towards Gu Qingqing as if trying to swallow her whole.

Gu Qingqing was startled and quickly ran outside, tapping the ground lightly with her toes, while throwing a few talismans towards the Red Blood Python. They were Glittering Talismans given by Mu Chen, designed to emit intense light in an instant, disrupting vision.

The Red Blood Python paused momentarily, and Gu Qingqing seized the opportunity to dash out of the cave.

Outside the cave was a dense forest. Gu Qingqing didn’t have time to observe her surroundings, thinking the numerous trees in the forest might hinder the Red Blood Python’s movements. She threw more talismans behind her and quickly darted into the forest.

The talismans, given to Gu Qingqing by Immortal Venerable Hao Lan and Lou Mingyu before she entered the Secret Realm, included a life-saving bracelet and talismans, along with various items to ensure her safety, fearing she might get hurt.

The talismans were quite effective against True Immortal Realm spirit beasts. The Red Blood Python was successfully affected. By the time it broke free, Gu Qingqing was out of sight. It hesitated at the entrance and reluctantly gave up pursuing Gu Qingqing, angrily returning to its lair.

To be safe, Gu Qingqing ran through the forest for a full quarter of an hour before stopping. Confirming that the Red Blood Python hadn’t followed, she patted her chest, breathing a sigh of relief.

Facing a high-level True Immortal Realm Red Blood Python, Gu Qingqing might win, but it would come at a price. She had just entered the Secret Realm, and it was best not to get injured!

Having escaped the Red Blood Python, Gu Qingqing rested for a moment and surveyed her surroundings.

She realized that the dense forest she had broken into was quite large. She had run for a full quarter of an hour and still hadn’t exited.

Feeling rested, she marked a tree nearby and then randomly chose a direction to leave.

...

Compared to Gu Qingqing, Jun Wu’s entrance into the Secret Realm was much better. When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a valley, looked around, and noticed a place resembling a herb field not far away. He was momentarily stunned, then quickly walked over.

Upon closer inspection, he confirmed it was indeed a herb field with several kinds of herbs. The Langya Immortal Sect’s curriculum included a comprehensive guide on herbs and refining materials to prevent disciples from missing out on various materials during field trials or in Secret Realms.

Examining closely, he found the Floating Moon Flower they previously helped the Ye Family find, as well as Green Spirit Grass, Xiangyun Ganoderma, and Cuixing Flower, all relatively precious herbs and growing well. Both Cuixing Flower and Green Spirit Grass were exactly what the sect’s mission required disciples to bring back. He counted and found each type to have twenty to thirty plants; the sect’s requirement was to hand in five of each type, so there were more than enough here.

Thinking it over, he dug up fourteen or fifteen of each, leaving some for others.

Fortunately, there were no guardian spirit beasts here, so he gathered the herbs without issues and then began looking for a way out of the valley.

The valley wasn’t large. With his speed, he quickly circled it and discovered it was enclosed with no path leading outside. He had to turn his attention to the surrounding cliffs.

Approaching a cliff, he looked up and saw it wasn’t very tall, about twenty to thirty meters high. He attempted Sword Flight, but finding it impossible, he gave up.

Upon further observation, he noticed several vines hanging down in the middle of the cliff. If he could grab the vines, he should be able to climb to the top.

With that thought, he lightly pushed off the ground and flew towards the vines.

Luckily, he was only unable to use Sword Flight here. He quickly reached the middle of the cliff, grabbed onto the dark green vines, tugged them, and found them very sturdy, so he wasted no time and climbed to the top using the vines.

After reaching the top, he found a grassland with a dense forest surrounding it. To get outside, he had to pass through the forest. Concerned about Gu Qingqing, he pondered for a moment before striding towards the forest.

...

Nanhua’s situation was even worse than Gu Qingqing’s. When he regained consciousness, he first smelled a stench, and opening his eyes, saw a bloody maw rushing toward him; a bite would likely break his neck.

Instinctively, he retreated more than ten meters back, putting some distance between himself and the maw, finally seeing what was about to bite him—a high-level Heavenly Immortal Realm Flame Lion.

Displeased at missing, the Flame Lion pawed the ground with its front claws and stared greedily at Nanhua. It roared furiously, opened its mouth wide, and lunged at Nanhua again, this time aiming for his head!

It wanted to bite Nanhua’s head off in one go!
