"Surely you're joking, Old Jin. With the Great Dao before me, of course I wouldn't yield to anyone. At worst, I could make it up to them elsewhere.
"But Junior Brother Wang is no ordinary Qi Refining disciple, either. I just feel that with his help, our chances would be better," Ximen Mei replied without hesitation.
"Heh heh, remember this, girl: the only person you can rely on in this world is yourself. If you won't let me step in and force him to stay, don't regret it later. What matters most now is how to find the treasure. Don't forget, you two aren't the only ones here," the miniature toad said with a chuckle.
"Of course. I've already thought it through. Since High Person Jialan brought his spirit beast along to set up this Secret Realm, places with powerful demon beast auras are probably connected to it somehow.
"And sensing demon beast auras is child's play for you, Old Jin," Ximen Mei replied confidently.
"Since you've thought it through, I'll naturally give you my full support. Even after taking the Creation Pill, this avatar can only survive for three days. Once those three days are up, we must leave, whether we've found the treasure or not," the miniature toad said in a tone that brooked no argument.
Ximen Mei readily agreed.
By then, Wang Yu had crossed another stretch of ruins and cautiously approached the White Mist Sea.
Looking at the billowing mist, he sent his divine sense sweeping into it, only to have it blocked outside by some restrictive seal.
Wang Yu frowned, then glanced back at the vaguely visible high walls of the Temple in the distance. With a sigh, he turned his hand over, revealing a white Formation Disc, and poured dharma power into it.
