Compared with the other cultivators exploring the Dark Starfield, Lin Fei had already been extraordinarily lucky.
Take Feng Baiyu, for example.
Hundreds of years had passed since he arrived in the Dark Starfield.
He had spent all that time wandering from place to place, stumbling blindly about, and had nearly lost himself in the Dark Starfield for good.
So far, the only treasure he had obtained was the Yin-Yang Life-Death Stone.
Fortunately, he had told Lin Fei about the Secret Realm.
Otherwise, even if he had opened the Secret Realm and entered it, encountering the Golden Immortal-Eating Gu would have meant certain death.
For many major factions, spending hundreds of years without gaining anything was commonplace.
That was why cultivators who entered the Dark Starfield to explore were at least in the spirit transformation realm.
Those in the nascent soul realm simply could not afford to squander hundreds of years of their lifespan.
Still, any party that entered the Dark Starfield to explore was gambling its life on tomorrow.
If they obtained treasures, everyone was happy.
If they found nothing and merely wasted hundreds of years, returning alive was still a blessing.
The worst fate was to find no treasures and perish in the Dark Starfield.
On the journey back, Lin Fei could not help thinking of Zhang Pei.
When they first teamed up to explore, Zhang Pei had been talkative and very friendly.
Lin Fei had thought him slippery and had not become close to him, but he had not had a bad impression of him either.
Later, when he proposed using the Heart-Seizing Soul-Snatching Art, he had not intended to harm Zhang Pei.
Yet Zhang Pei had misgivings and parted ways with Lin Fei.
After all this time, I wonder if Zhang Pei is still alive.
