Divine Doctor from the Start of the Eye Mutation

"You can become the new sect leader, but unfortunately, for over a thousand years, countless sect members have entered, yet none have returned, so I am very curious about what exactly is inside."

Ling Zhenfei finally understood; the people of the Guimou Sect are responsible for protecting this Peach Blossom Secret Realm, treating it as a token of their sect leader, but no one knows what's inside.

Even if the sect leader knows, the people of the Guimou Sect generally rely on strategy rather than spiritual energy. Even if the sect leader knows the secret of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, entering without profound spiritual energy is a death sentence.

Those without high abilities who enter either succumb to the temptations of the Peach Blossom Fairy or are killed by the monsters in the river. This is why those who've entered for such a long time have never come out.

The reason Ling Zhenfei could come out was due to his Dragon Tooth Dagger, which carries the aura of a dragon.

Every so often, the creatures in the water are punished by the Evil Day, killing some water monsters to maintain their numbers, making these monsters very afraid of the Divine Dragon.

The aura on Ling Zhenfei's Dragon Tooth Dagger terrified the creatures upon just smelling it, allowing Ling Zhenfei to escape.

Ling Zhenfei's strength is at the middle to late stages of the Tawen Realm, but he tried; relying on his own strength, he couldn't defeat those monsters or cross the river.

In other words, to enter and exit the Peach Blossom Secret Realm without the help of the Dragon Tooth Dagger, one's strength must reach the Pursue Heart State.

But reaching the Pursue Heart State is not that easy.

Currently, Ling Zhenfei's strength is at the middle to late stages of Tawen, which is already very powerful.

In this world, reaching the Tawen Realm qualifies as an expert. If one reaches the Pursue Heart State, they could walk unchallenged.

After reaching the Pursue Heart State, few cultivators linger in the mundane world; they usually retreat to a secluded place for cultivation, making it unlikely they'd roam about outside.

At Ling Zhenfei's age, to have such high strength is already an incredible feat.

Now, when Huang Jian asks Ling Zhenfei about the situation inside the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, how can Ling Zhenfei respond?

After a slight hesitation, Ling Zhenfei said, "You Guimou people are indeed ruthless, trying to kill me with this method. You have no idea how terrifying the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is.

Inside, it looks just like a beautiful painting, but danger lurks everywhere. Every step must be taken with extreme caution, or you'll become a corpse."

Huang Jian's eyebrows furrowed as he said, "I've heard that the scenery inside is lovely, and there's also a very beautiful Peach Blossom Fairy."

Ling Zhenfei laughed, saying, "Do you think that's possible? If the scenery were good, the food delicious, and beautiful women accompany you, do you think I would be willing to leave?"

Huang Jian asked, "How did you get out then?"

Ling Zhenfei sighed, "There is indeed a woman inside, but not a young girl. Think about it; any woman who stays there too long becomes old and ugly.

When I went there, the woman was almost gone, about to die. You know, I'm a doctor. Under my treatment, she recovered her health. To repay me, she told me how to get out, so I left."

Huang Jian, with a sudden realization, said, "Oh, that's how it was."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, saying, "If I hadn't stumbled upon such luck, I would've probably died in there. The space within is of Ancient Times, filled with creatures I've never seen before; one careless move, and you'll become their meal."

Huang Jian seemed persuaded by Ling Zhenfei's words because everything he said made perfect sense.

"I sincerely thank you, sir, for telling me so much. However, the matter of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is something other sect members will persist in pursuing. I can only report the truth when I return, whether they believe it or not, I do not know.

As for me, I will continue searching for clues and evidence. If evidence shows the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is with you, I hope you will return it to me."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Search freely, I truly hope you find the Peach Blossom Secret Realm. But again, it's merely a symbol. Why can't you choose something else?"

Huang Jian said, "It's very simple; this thing is extremely important to us. Previously, the sect leader was appointed by the former family head. But due to Nangong Changhe's accident, the succession method changed."

"How did it change?" Ling Zhenfei asked.

Huang Jian said, "The succession changed to whoever can find the Peach Blossom Secret Realm is the next family head, so our sect members are searching everywhere for clues."

Hearing this, Ling Zhenfei felt a bit frustrated. If this were true, he would be constantly harassed in the future, even to the point of danger.

Huang Jian then said, "Sir, not all sect members are as easy to talk to as I am. Some will stop at nothing to become the sect leader."

"So I sincerely hope you will reconsider. If the object is indeed with you, please hand it over to me, and I, Huang Jian, will be eternally grateful.

If it's not with you, please think carefully about where this painting is most likely to have gone?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "The painting last disappeared at the Hongteng International Hotel, so the most likely place is there.

Their leader, named Feng Zilong, is a cultivation expert. If anyone recognizes the value of the Peach Blossom Secret Realm, it would be a cultivator.

I believe Feng Zilong is the one who ultimately obtained this thing. To be honest, I feel ashamed; at that time, I had reached a point of no return with Nangong Changhe.

After coming out of the painting, I was so focused on chasing Nangong Changhe that I didn't consider the importance of the object until after his death.

When I went back to find it, the Peach Blossom Secret Realm Map was already gone. The location is the top floor of the Hongteng International Hotel, Feng Zilong's private room. I believe Feng Zilong was the last to see the painting."

Simply put, Ling Zhenfei is diverting blame toward Feng Zilong.

There will inevitably be a showdown between Ling Zhenfei and Feng Zilong, so why not trouble Feng Zilong now and reduce his own difficulties beforehand?

Ling Zhenfei's method not only turns enemies against each other but also shifts the blame, killing two birds with one stone.

Huang Jian had no idea Ling Zhenfei was thinking this strategically. Listening to Ling Zhenfei's logical reasoning, he found it quite persuasive.

"Alright, sir, I'm truly grateful for such a valuable lead; I will continue my investigation at Hongteng International."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I have high hopes for you; I hope you can find the Peach Blossom Secret Realm and become the Guimou Sect's sect leader soon."
