"Hahaha!"
Having finally regained his confidence, Senior Brother Chen generously patted Li Ye on the shoulder. "Don't be sad. When the time comes, I'll introduce you to some."
"Don't always keep your head down cultivating in your cave abode either. The Spirit Race has plenty of fun things going on. I saw quite a few interesting things during my years there. I'll tell you all about them later."
"Here, look. These are the gifts my friends and confidantes gave me."
It seemed Senior Brother Chen truly did have a wide circle of acquaintances—at the very least, far broader than Li Ye's.
He then brought out, one after another, a Jade Tortoise's shed shell, Wen Yao Fish feathers, Bi Fang tail feathers...
Li Ye was left practically dumbfounded.
Third Senior Brother was truly painstakingly earnest.
Everyone in Su Xing's lineage loved running around everywhere. Even Junior Brother Spirit Vine could not sit still and had to send out incarnations.
Yet here came a little junior brother who cultivated in his cave abode every day?
Was this what happened when things reached their extreme and reversed?
"Actually, I don't stay in my cave abode every day. I went to the Southern Domain to form my core some time ago," Li Ye retorted, though he lacked confidence.
To keep him from bringing out something else that would shock him.
Li Ye hurriedly interrupted him. "Junior Brother already understands how impressive Senior Brother is. Let's discuss the formation here instead.
The other senior uncles all turned their attention toward Senior Uncle Lu and only praised me. Senior Brother, did you notice anything inappropriate?"
After all, this involved formations, something he did not understand very well. He was still somewhat worried that he had not done a good enough job.
Third Senior Brother looked baffled.
