"I do have some talent in formations, but I was born with extremely bad luck. No, it should be said that my luck is terrible to the extreme. Drinking water makes me choke, walking makes me fall, leaving home almost guarantees life-threatening disasters, and even people around me would be affected and die because of my misfortune. But after meeting Senior Brother, everything changed. Drinking water no longer makes me choke, eating no longer gives me stomach trouble, cultivation has no issues, walking does not make me fall, and going out no longer ends in bloodshed. Senior Brother has completely saved my life. I will never leave Senior Brother’s side again." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

As expected of the protagonist.

His luck is so strong that even someone like this natural disaster magnet can be affected...

Gou Guangming listened to Cao Xue’s endless speech with a blank expression, but he was quietly muttering inside, once again confirming the protagonist’s overwhelming fortune.

"I understand. You’ve had it rough," Xiao Shou said while pressing a hand to his forehead.

A Tier 5 formation master turned out to be like this?

Having never experienced such extreme misfortune himself, he could not empathize at all and also could not understand the excitement in his tone.

Seeing that Cao Xue showed no sign of stopping and seemed capable of talking endlessly, he finally interrupted him.

After that, Xiao Shou turned his gaze to Fu Young who was already starting to emit dark aura again, and said very sincerely, "Young’er, you have really worked hard this time."

Dealing with such a clingy chatterbox, one could easily imagine how troubled Fu Young had been these past few days.

No wonder when they communicated two days ago he felt like the boy was practically radiating black energy.

He could understand it now.

Fu Young looked at Xiao Shou with a puzzled expression as he wore a look of sympathy and understanding.

He had no idea what kind of trouble his master was planning this time, but it was too noisy.

He glanced back at Cao Xue.

Cao Xue’s nonstop chatter immediately stopped.

He obediently stepped back and fell silent.

Satisfied with the quiet, Fu Young turned back and said, "Disciple is really not tired at all. Instead, Master, can the matter of the secret realm be confirmed?"

"Yes. The secret realm does exist. The Chen brothers were the first to discover it. This city lord, Xiahou Bo, obtained a quota from them through exchange. I saved their younger sister, so I was also given a quota. With his current ability, he can only bring in about ten people. The three of them plus you all do not exceed the limit. The troublesome part is those cultivators from Penglai Immortal Isle, as well as the dangers of an undeveloped secret realm."

Because the communication jade had limited spiritual energy, Xiao Shou had only given a brief explanation before.

Now that they were face to face, he explained the details of the White Silver Secret Realm thoroughly.

Of course, he avoided anything bound by the heart demon oath, such as Chen Zhiyi’s unwillingness to reveal his special eyes ability.

He only spoke about the agreement not to fight each other, the plan to explore the secret realm together, and the fact that a group of Nascent Soul and Golden Core cultivators from Penglai Immortal Isle were currently searching that sea area.

After all, the ones who would face these dangers were his disciple whom he had raised himself, and the people who had traveled all this way for him.

They needed to clearly understand everything before making their choice, whether to go or not.

Although it was called a choice, Xiao Shou knew that cultivators in this world were different from him.

When faced with opportunities, even if it meant risking their lives, they would still move forward without hesitation.

Just like Xiahou Bo.

So there would only be one answer: go.

Xiao Shou felt that he should also learn from their courage to move forward without hesitation.

Meanwhile, in the Chen family trio who had just left the hall, Chen Zhiyi glanced back at the living room sealed by the formation.

Thinking of Fu Young whom he had just met, he instinctively used his eyes to scan him.

The moment he did so, he saw something and the lingering pain in his eyes until now made him rub his brow.

Seeing this, Chen Qingzhi quickly asked worriedly, "Brother, what’s wrong? Is your injury not fully healed?"

"It’s not the injury." Chen Zhiyi paused for a moment, then chuckled softly twice. "Should I say, as expected of Senior Xiao’s disciple? He is truly extraordinary. Yufei, when you join the Eternal Prosperity Sect in the future, you must cultivate properly. That place will likely be your greatest opportunity."

"Yes, I will," Chen Yufei said firmly.

For natives of this world, the importance of cultivation was very clear to them.

In the living room, Gou Guangming listened to Xiao Shou’s explanation about the secret realm.

His beautiful face showed no expression, but inside he was practically roaring.

Fu Young is the main protagonist and he already finished introducing himself.

What about me? Where is my introduction? Was I just skipped?

Fu Young looked very satisfied as he watched his master’s energetic expression.

He even shot Gou Guangming a proud glance.

Hmph.

It does not matter how obedient you act.

With a face like that, I will not let you attract Master’s attention.

If you want a proper introduction, wait until you become ugly.

After Xiao Shou finished speaking, everyone’s response was exactly as he expected.

Not a single person refused.

Even though all of them knew they would be facing life-threatening danger in exchange for the opportunity to enter, none of them hesitated.

The mindset of people in this world was something he could not fully understand.

If it were him, he would always weigh the benefits and risks that did not threaten his life before making a decision.

But these natives were willing to risk their lives in the face of opportunity.
