At the sight, Teng Feng could not help wavering.
On the one hand, ghost jade gold was a crucial material for refining his Life-Bound Treasure. Once he obtained it, he could ask an Artifact Refiner to craft his Life-Bound Treasure.
He certainly wanted it.
On the other hand, the distant seas were the territory of Demon Beasts, Sea Folk, Merfolk, and other Otherfolk. Human cultivators rarely set foot there.
Foreign Races of the third tier and above were extremely rare in the coastal waters, but quite common in the distant seas. With poor luck, they might even encounter a fourth-tier Foreign Race.
If that happened, they would surely be doomed.
He found it hard to commit to such a perilous gamble for ghost jade gold.
The other seven reacted much like Teng Feng. They could not bear to give up the treasures Elder Yuan had offered, yet they also hesitated to venture into the distant seas.
After pondering for a moment, a middle-aged cultivator with loose, long hair asked, "Fellow Daoist Yuan, could you tell us the specifics of this mission so we can decide whether to participate?"
The other seven, Teng Feng included, nodded after he spoke.
Clearly, they needed to assess the mission's dangers before deciding whether the treasures Elder Yuan offered were worth the risk.
Yet Elder Yuan shook his head. "I have already said that this mission involves confidential matters. Unless you agree to participate, I cannot disclose its details in advance."
The eight of them wore a colorful assortment of expressions at that.
Several already had retreat in their eyes, but before they could speak, Elder Yuan continued, "However, I can tell you where the mission will take place. Our destination is a stretch of sea near the Sea Spirit Abyss."
"The Sea Spirit Abyss!"
