"Brother Bao, how come it's you?"
When Chen Lin saw who had called out to him, delighted surprise spread across his face as well.
It was actually Bao Tianci!
Unlike Mo Lin, whom he had only met once, this man was a true friend.
"Haha, it really is you, Brother Chen."

With that, he bowed.
Chen Lin waved a hand. "Enough, spare me the empty formalities. Tell me how you came here instead."

By chance, Brother Zhaosan obtained a Carefree Token that granted entry here, so the two of us came in."
"Oh? Fellow Daoist Zhao is here too?"
From his explanation, Chen Lin knew that Mo Lin had told the truth. The powerful figures behind the Carefree Assembly had indeed distributed quite a few Carefree Tokens throughout the Tianxuan Realm.
Bao Tianci immediately said, "Not just Fellow Daoist Zhao. Plenty of other fellow Daoists from the Tianxuan Realm came too. We all met here on the first day, but the treasures here are far too high-grade, and our purses are painfully light. After browsing for a day, everyone went to the Inheritance Hall to contemplate secret arts. I couldn't stand being cooped up anymore, so I came out for some air. I never expected to run into you, Brother Chen."
"The Inheritance Hall?"
Chen Lin voiced his puzzlement.
He had been here twice, yet had never heard of that place.
Still, he had spent most of the first day
