Although the mist was strange, it was not too thick. After a moment, the figures of the seven appeared in the second layer of the secret realm. The scenery in this second layer was not much different from that of the first layer, but the concentration of spiritual energy had risen another level. Breathing in brought a refreshing feeling, almost making everyone think about cultivating here for an extended period.
However, this was merely a thought; no one was willing to stay here for a full ten years. Not to mention that they had parents and friends back home, even this desolate environment would be unbearable for most due to the loneliness. Moreover, improving one's cultivation was not solely about increasing spiritual power; understanding one's state of mind was also very important.
"I wonder what everyone's plans are..." After a while, Zhou Hanbin smiled and asked the group, his face showing genuine concern as if he truly cared about his fellow disciples.
"We are willing to act together with Senior Brother Zhou." The two Inner Sect Disciples exchanged glances and quickly made their decision, speaking in unison to Zhou Hanbin.
Zhou Hanbin nodded with a smile and turned his gaze toward Sun Zhe and the others, seeking their opinions.
"I'll be leaving first..." Yan Ji responded lightly without looking at anyone. He walked directly toward the distance, his indifferent tone devoid of any emotion, clearly indicating his desire to keep others at bay. If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't enter this second layer alone, given his personality, he likely wouldn't cooperate with anyone.
Holding onto the Black Longsword that never left his side, Yan Ji's figure slowly disappeared into the nearby forest. Watching him leave, no one dared to speak up to stop him; no one wanted to provoke this cold yet powerful individual for no reason.
"I wonder if you three are interested in the Thunder Spirit True Fruit?" Just as Sun Zhe and the others were about to leave, Zhou Hanbin's voice suddenly rang in their ears. Upon hearing this name, their steps involuntarily paused.
"You know news about the Thunder Spirit True Fruit?" Zhao Ang turned around, his eyes fixed on Zhou Hanbin as if trying to discern the truth from his expression. However, he soon felt disappointed; he could not read anything from Zhou Hanbin's face.
"The last time the Northern Mang Secret Realm opened, my Third Uncle happened to enter it and was one of the few who came out alive. He once found this type of Spiritual Artifact in the Secret Realm Second Layer but did not inform the Sect about it. However, he did tell me the general location of where the Thunder Spirit True Fruit is. If you are interested, I would be willing to take everyone there..." Although Zhou Hanbin spoke like this, his tone implied that he was certain they would not refuse.
"Such a precious item as the Thunder Spirit True Fruit—why don't you go get it yourself?" Shen Yan said softly, her voice light and graceful.
"Don't give me any nonsense about sect camaraderie..." Zhao Ang added immediately.
He simply did not believe that Zhou Hanbin would talk to him about any kind of brotherhood. The two had already had conflicts before entering the Xuan Lei Sect, and later, when Zhou Hanbin joined the Inner Sect, he ended up in the Outer Sect. If it weren't for his opposition to Zhou Hanbin, with his qualifications and status, why would he remain in the Outer Sect?
Of course, he was unaware of the conflict between Zhou Hanbin and Sun Zhe. In fact, Sun Zhe was even less inclined to believe that Zhou Hanbin would offer him such a significant benefit.
"Well, since you all feel this way, I won't hide anything from you. The Thunder Spirit True Fruit is such a precious spiritual artifact; how could it possibly grow in an ordinary place? With my strength alone, I can't obtain even half a Thunder Spirit True Fruit from that location. That's why I hope we can cooperate together; it's a win-win situation..." Zhou Hanbin spread his hands and smiled helplessly as he explained.
After staring at Zhou Hanbin for a while, Sun Zhe couldn't discern whether Zhou Hanbin was being truthful or not. However, if there really was a Thunder Spirit True Fruit, then even if it meant taking a risk, he wouldn't let this opportunity slip by because the Thunder Spirit True Fruit was indeed very important to him at this moment.
It is said that in areas where Thunder Power is extremely dense, a peculiar type of tree grows called the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree. Unlike ordinary trees, the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree absorbs only Thunder Power as its nourishment, growing a foot taller every hundred years. Its main body consists of thunderbolts for branches and lightning for leaves, while its fruit is known as the Thunder Spirit True Fruit.
The Thunder Spirit True Fruit grows on the Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree. It is an exceptionally rare thunder attribute spiritual artifact. Unless one is in an area with extremely dense Thunder Power, it is rare to find a mature Thunder Spirit Ancient Tree, let alone the Thunder Spirit True Fruit.
However, the effects of the Thunder Spirit True Fruit are extraordinary. In the outside world, it is nearly priceless as a spiritual artifact. Not only can it be used as material to refine top-tier thunder attribute pills, but it can also be consumed directly to increase Thunder Spirit Power. Most importantly, it can purify the user's internal spiritual power, making it incredibly refined.
Everyone entering the Northern Mang Secret Realm had consumed quite a few pills to enhance their cultivation. Although they currently appeared to be Three-Star Thunder Masters or Four-Star Thunder Masters, their powers were actually forcibly enhanced. The Thunder Spirit Power within them was highly unstable; once they left, without at least six months of focused cultivation to stabilize it, they wouldn't be able to improve their strength by even half a star.
However, if they obtained the Thunder Spirit True Fruit, none of these issues would matter. They could even use the Thunder Power contained within the Thunder Spirit True Fruit to further enhance their cultivation.
For this reason, for everyone present, the significance of the Thunder Spirit True Fruit was even greater than that of top-tier spiritual herbs. This was also why Zhou Hanbin was so confident that no one would refuse.
"How have you all considered my proposal?" Zhou Hanbin asked with a faint smile. No one would dare to refuse such a spiritual artifact; he was sure that even if Sun Zhe and others doubted his character, they would still be willing to give it a try.
"Since that's the case, I am willing to accompany Brother Zhou on this trip..." Just as Zhou Hanbin expected, Sun Zhe was indeed willing to take the risk because he needed the Thunder Spirit True Fruit more than anyone else.
Zhou Qi harbored murderous intent towards him, but Sun Zhe would not willingly allow himself to be slaughtered. Before entering the Northern Mang Secret Realm, he had already devised a series of plans, one of which was to gather all True Essence of Spirit Medicine to fully enhance his cultivation and showcase his astonishing potential to the Sect.
However, this alone was not enough. There were others with similar talents; even if he surpassed them slightly, it would not provide him with a significant advantage. Another goal for Sun Zhe was to obtain the item in the Third Floor that Fang Yuan and even the higher-ups of Xuan Lei Sect desired. As long as he secured this item, his contributions would be irreplaceable, allowing him to truly step into the core of the Sect.
A loyal disciple who had made great contributions to the Sect would surely be nurtured wholeheartedly by the Sect, and it was even possible that he could be designated as a future sect master. In this way, he would have an irreplaceable position within Xuan Lei Sect, making Zhou Qi think twice before daring to act against him.
After Sun Zhe agreed, Shen Yan also gently nodded. However, as she spoke, her soft gaze was fixed on the tall figure in front of her.
“Zhou Hanbin, if you dare deceive me, this Young Master will not let you off easily…” In the end, Zhao Ang could not resist the temptation of the Thunder Spirit True Fruit and glared fiercely at Zhou Hanbin.
“Haha… How could I be that kind of person? Since that's settled, let's go…” With a hint of cheerful laughter, Zhou Hanbin led the way forward, while the two Inner Sect Disciples immediately followed closely behind him. Sun Zhe and the others exchanged glances and leisurely followed suit.
