Pan Yunzhou stared at Ding Songyan for a while, wanting to speak, then stopping, then wanting to speak again.
He felt his junior brother made it sound far too easy. If they really encountered a powerful villain who coveted the Golden Millet Dream-Waking Block, the man might not stop at stealing it-he might kill them too.
If they wanted to test their swords against Heterodox Path fiends, they should choose their targets beforehand and make sure their strength was manageable. Using a treasure to lure bandits-who knew what sort of person might come? What if it was a Third Rank Divination expert, or even a Law Realm Martial Grandmaster?
Ding Songyan's left hand had already dropped naturally to his side, slipped into his pack, and touched the Dream-Waking Block.
His senior brother's words had reminded him that the treasure must not seem too fake. Though he could explain its plainness as a divine object concealing its own brilliance, leaving something genuine inside might prove useful elsewhere, just as he had used the Sword Intent of "Deriving Dao and De" to turn falsehood into truth and shake Chen Jindong's confidence.
With a touch of Ding Songyan's finger, Great Dream Sword Intent slipped silently into the Dream-Waking Block.
The block quietly acquired a faint, dreamlike air.
This way, Ding Songyan could throw it out to lure an enemy and divert their attention. Once a powerful foe seized it, he could also secretly trigger the Sword Intent, disrupt their mind, and create an opening.

He ate with easy contentment, while Pan Yunzhou remained weighed
