Chapter 55 -55: Red Moon Secret Realm, Snow Bone Grass
Nan Sheng spoke with a hoarse voice, “I, I didn’t think that way.”
Xiao Chen touched Nan Sheng’s head, still gentle, “Everything about you is good, except for one thing, you are too greedy.”
Nan Sheng was scheming and quite wicked, and he felt that was fine, as he wasn’t a good person himself. But as a man, he definitely couldn’t share a woman with another man.
Nan Sheng wanted to retort Xiao Chen’s words, she just liked them too much to let go.
Why could men have multiple wives and concubines, loitering among flowers, while women could not?
At first, Shen Zhiyao paid attention to the movements of Nan Sheng and Xiao Chen, wanting to know if Xiao Chen would also abandon Nan Sheng, making her the laughingstock of the entire sect.
But Qinghe forcefully dragged her away and sparred with her, leaving her no time to be distracted.
By the time they left the Sword Refining Field, Xiao Chen and Nan Sheng’s figures were nowhere to be seen.
“Do you think Nan Sheng’s engagement with Xiao Chen will work out?” Shen Zhiyao asked, her arm casually thrown over Shen Qinghe’s fragrant shoulder.
Shen Qinghe moved her arm away, “Elder sister should focus more on her own love life, why bother about others’ affairs?”
Shen Zhiyao let out a light sigh, “My goal used to be to secure Xiao Chen, but now without a goal, where’s the love life to speak of?”
“That’s even better, concentrate on your cultivation, that’s truly wonderful,” Shen Qinghe said with a burning gaze.
After all, her elder sister was no longer fixating on Xiao Chen, and there could be nothing better than this.
Shen Zhiyao once again draped an arm over Shen Qinghe’s fragrant shoulder, feeling her younger sister’s body was both fragrant and soft, great for hugging, “Hehe, with your company, men are like fleeting clouds to me. However, I have this intuition that you will achieve great things in the future, and by then you must remember to look out for me.”
Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but chuckle, “Elder sister, where did you get the idea that I will achieve great things?”
With her current situation, she had no idea when she would even make a slight breakthrough.
“Of course, it’s intuition! You are so hardworking, protected by Mr. Wuya, and the beloved daughter of Elder Shen, you are bound to be impressive in the future. Don’t look at how powerful Nan Sheng is now, but I don’t think the one who starts running first is necessarily the winner,” Shen Zhiyao patted her sister’s shoulder, “Anyway, I am rooting for you!”
Shen Qinghe nodded, “Regardless of whether I will achieve anything in the future, I will definitely cultivate diligently.”
Hard work does not guarantee progress, but without effort, there is sure to be no progress!
The two sisters chatted and laughed, returning to the Simple Residence Courtyard to make a delicious meal.
At night, Shen Zhiyao talked about the Red Moon Secret Realm opening up on the South Desolate Continent next spring, a once-in-a-century event, and Shen Qinghe’s eyes shone with longing.
Yet she knew with her foundation establishment level and no breakthrough in sight, there was no chance of entering the Red Moon Secret Realm for trials and finding opportunities.
Shen Zhiyao also remembered Shen Qinghe’s current plight, and her smile faded, “If only Elder Shen weren’t in his deep slumber, then with the degree to which he dotes on you, he would definitely let me take you into the secret realm.”
Shen Qinghe shook her head, “That might not necessarily be the case. Not everyone can enter the secret realm for trials, and given my mere foundation establishment stage and lack of improvement in cultivation, even if father were not in a deep slumber, it’s unlikely that I would be on the list for trials.”
Shen Zhiyao flopped onto the bed, “Should I go plead with the sect master? It’s unreasonable for you to be left out with how hardworking you are. Besides, I feel like you have good luck, and if you could try out the secret realm, you would surely gain something.”
Who knows, perhaps Qinghe’s opportunity in the secret realm could be the breakthrough she needed?
“That won’t be of any use asking the sect master, not everyone can undergo trials in the secret realm, elder sister should go,” Shen Qinghe said with a smile.
Although she really wanted to enter the secret realm, her cultivation base was too low, and the sect master wouldn’t possibly allow it; it would be against the sect rules, and her low cultivation level would also put her at great risk.
Many times, opportunity comes hand in hand with risk, which is why those with a low cultivation base cannot enter the secret realm for trials, especially the Red Moon Secret Realm that opens only once every hundred years.
Shen Zhiyao was sighing with lament when she suddenly thought of someone and leaped up, “Why don’t you go beg Mr. Wuya? Mr. Wuya dotes on you so much; he will definitely allow you to enter the secret realm!”
Shen Qinghe was somewhat tempted but then shook her head, “Forget it, I don’t think Mr. Wuya would agree.”
Although she hadn’t interacted with Dongfang Wuya many times, she knew that he was a man of principles.
“How would you know it won’t work if you don’t try?” Shen Zhiyao continued to urge. “Qinghe, just go and ask. There are still a few months left, even if it’s just to sound out Mr. Wuya’s intentions. If you could go to the secret realm, then at that time, the two of us could look out for each other. What annoys me the most is that Nan Sheng is definitely going to go to the secret realm for her trials. Clearly, you and she reached Foundation Establishment around the same time, yet the entire sect is talking about her as a genius girl. In the last competition, she lost to you, so why should she be the one to go and not you?”
Even if Nan Sheng’s breakthroughs were fast, what did it matter? During their contest, Nan Sheng still lost to Qinghe, didn’t she?
She felt that Qinghe was just lacking some good fortune, and the secret realms were places where opportunity abounded.
After being persuaded by Shen Zhiyao, Shen Qinghe felt a little swayed.
Maybe it was because Shen Zhiyao kept talking about the Red Moon Secret Realm, but she had a dream about it that night.
When she woke up the next day, she still remembered that, in her dream, Nan Sheng found a stalk of Snow Bone Grass in the Red Moon Secret Realm. After consuming the Snow Bone Grass, Nan Sheng’s cultivation base rose rapidly, leaping directly from the Foundation Establishment Stage to become a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
It was precisely because of this stalk of Snow Bone Grass that Nan Sheng’s subsequent cultivation sped up like divine aid; what took others a hundred years to advance by one major boundary, Nan Sheng achieved in just a short decade.
Nan Sheng was later recognized as a leading female sword cultivator in the cultivator world, and this stalk of Snow Bone Grass played a significant role.
For a moment, she thought about seeking out Dongfang Wuya to plead for a chance to participate in the trials of the Red Moon Secret Realm next year.
This 𝓬ontent is taken from freeweɓnovel.cѳm.
But if she really went to plead, what would be the difference between her and Nan Sheng?
She had just established her foundation and had no right to participate in the trials; if she went to Dongfang Wuya, and he truly agreed to help her, it would only serve to give the disciples of Sky Pole Sect a reason to criticize him for not following the rules, tarnishing Dongfang Wuya’s reputation.
She could not do that to her benefactor.
Nan Sheng was the protagonist, and she obtained the Snow Bone Grass due to her destiny; Shen Qinghe could not let Shen Zhiyao go and steal Nan Sheng’s opportunity.
She also knew that Nan Sheng was calculating and well-protected by Yan Changsheng and Xiao Chen. If Shen Zhiyao truly attempted to seize that stalk of Snow Bone Grass, it would instead bring disaster upon her.
The task at hand was to stay grounded and cultivate earnestly, instead of dreaming of soaring to the heavens overnight.
Shen Zhiyao noticed that since she mentioned the Red Moon Secret Realm, Qinghe had become even more diligent in her cultivation.
In the past, she would still take some time to sleep and eat, but now Qinghe would cultivate for several days without eating or sleeping. Seeing this, she understood why Qinghe was pushing herself so hard.
What she could do was to cultivate alongside Qinghe.
With so many incidents happening lately, and Qinghe always ending up injured, it was usually because of Nan Sheng. It was not that Nan Sheng was particularly strong, but the cultivators protecting Nan Sheng were of high cultivation bases.
If they, as sisters, had strong enough cultivation bases, they wouldn’t need to look up to anyone else.

Nan Sheng: I’m the protagonist, the Snow Bone Grass is undoubtedly mine!
Dongfang Rude and Overbearing Wuya: Steal the Snow Bone Grass, gift it to Qinghe as a toothpick.
