Upon receiving Shang Xuelian's report, Chen Lin immediately summoned Yang Zhengmao.
Once again, it was Yang Zhengmao who had discovered a new development in the Silver Fruit Core Scenario.
"Tell me what happened."
Chen Lin glanced at him and spoke calmly.
Since his Ascension to the Golden Core Realm, Yang Zhengmao's cultivation seemed to have made little progress, though he looked somewhat more spirited.
That was only natural. For an elderly cultivator, achieving core formation was already a blessing bestowed by Heaven. He had forced his way through with pills, exhausting all his potential.
Had he not met Chen Lin, he would already have been dry bones in a grave.
"My lord."
Yang Zhengmao first bowed deeply.
Then he said, "After my Ascension to the Golden Core Realm, I couldn't make even an inch of progress in my cultivation, so I thought I would continue exploring the Nightmare Realm to seek opportunities. I didn't dare visit any other scenarios, so I focused solely on the Silver Fruit Core Scenario. Every time I entered, I cleared all the weeds from the orchard."
Then, with a peculiar expression, he added, "After I cleared the weeds for the tenth time, the dog guarding the entrance suddenly spoke!"
"Oh? What did it say?"
Interest finally appeared on Chen Lin's face.
Still, a talking dog was nothing unusual in the Nightmare Realm. Even a stone opening its mouth would have been perfectly normal.
Yang Zhengmao reached into his sleeve and took out a fruit gleaming with silver light.
"It said I had completed a hidden mission and could pick a fruit as my reward. So I picked one, and I actually managed to bring it out!"
A flicker of surprise crossed Chen Lin's face.
With a beckoning gesture, he drew the fruit into his hand
