"So, Fellow Daoist Zhengwang, you intend to go as well?"

Lin Changheng drew that conclusion directly from Boy Zhengwang's expression.

"Indeed."

Boy Zhengwang's little face immediately crumpled. He sighed helplessly. "I've been stuck before the bottleneck to late Core Formation for years now. I must seize these increasingly rare opportunities. Otherwise, if I keep frittering away my time, my Dao Path might truly end at the middle stage-"

He lifted his teacup, took a sip, then put it down again. His fingers rubbed lightly along the rim, his little face full of melancholy.

"Although Nascent Soul Formation is extremely difficult, and the odds are even lower, taking another step forward is always a good thing—"

"Then let me wish you a fruitful journey in advance."

Under the circumstances, persuasion was pointless, so Lin Changheng naturally chose pleasant words. Boy Zhengwang had made up his mind. Saying things like "danger" or "be cautious" would not only be useless, but would also dampen his spirits.

"Thank you for your kind wishes."

Boy Zhengwang's helpless expression vanished at once, replaced by a smile.

He had also heard the deeper implication in Lin Changheng's words: Lin Changheng himself had no intention of going.

Resources were surely pouring in without end. A Pill Master could earn enough to fill every pot and bowl simply by refining pills. Why risk his life in a secret realm?

Combined with his consistently cautious disposition, he would naturally keep a respectful distance from such a secret realm.

It was perfectly reasonable.

"Still, whether we can force the Yan cultivators to release their entry slots is another matter entirely."
