He, Luo Zhen, Was Back in the Game!

South Island Province.

Inside a small restaurant.

Luo Zhen sat dejectedly by the window, chugging down his drinks.

Now, some time has passed since I left this Land of the Four Directions.

As for the experience, only the person experiencing it truly knows whether it was good or bad.

To be precise, there was no warmth, only cold.

The outside world is not as wonderful as I imagined.

As for the resources, opportunities, and chances that Heavenly Treasure Pavilion claims to offer, only by experiencing them firsthand will one discover that most of them are unattainable.

During this time, he tried to join several factions.

None of the outsiders recognized its value; they all turned him away.

He used to be a prospective holy son of the Cloud Heaven Holy Land, but now...

They wanted to try somewhere else, but the resources they had painstakingly accumulated weren't even enough to cover the cost of using the teleportation array again.

Suppressed, frustrated, annoyed...

"Since you're treating me to drinks, there must be something on your mind. Tell me, what is it?"

At the next table, people had clearly had a few rounds of drinks and were now discussing serious matters.

After being mentioned, another person quickly spoke up, saying:

"Brother Chen is well-informed; he must have heard about that Heaven and Earth Phenomenon at sea, right?"

"Of course, what, you want me to come with you to take a look?"

"See, that's why I say Brother Chen. You guessed it right away. Brother Chen's strength is undeniable. If we could go together, the chances of finding something good might increase."

"Let's just forget about it. It's such a big commotion, who knows how many people will show up. Compared to those powerful figures, we have no advantage at all. It's not worth making an extra trip and wasting time."

"No, Brother Chen..."

"Stop talking, go find someone else."

At this moment, Luo Zhen suddenly spoke up and asked:

"Brother, what do you think of me?"

"You?"

Both men looked at him, sizing him up, and then the one who had invited him asked:

"How good are you? Do you have any unique skills?"

"My strength is more than enough," Luo Zhen said confidently.

"If there's anything unique about me, it's that I've always been lucky; those who travel with me often reap good rewards."

"Really?" The man looked doubtful.

At this moment, Brother Chen spoke up:

"Perfect match! One of you is looking for people, and the other wants to participate. You two are a perfect pair, so don't be picky."

After some discussion, the decision was made.

They clinked glasses, downed their drinks in one gulp, and all the pent-up frustration in their hearts vanished.

Luo Zhen, he's done it again!

"Finally, I've almost recovered."

In an inn, Qi Zhan opened his eyes, his cloudy old eyes filled with complex emotions.

The woman's earlier attack on him was only successful because his physical body was relatively sturdy.

Even so, it's still not a good thing.

Not only did he miss out on the inheritance of the organization, but he also made the situation worse.

After finally getting a stroke of luck, they narrowly escaped once again.

"Those who inherit the skills of the mechanical system might be lucky enough to catch up, but those who inherit the skills of the dragon might not be so fortunate."

He was well aware that good fortune couldn't last forever.

But what can he do right now? If he relies solely on cultivation, his physical body will probably collapse before he even reaches a certain level.

After racking his brains without finding a solution, Qi Zhan decided to go for a walk outside.

Not long after, Qi Zhan heard news about Heaven and Earth Phenomenon.

After repeated confirmation, it is not a rumor, but the specifics are still unclear.

"Truly, Heaven has not forsaken this old man!"

Qi Zhan immediately perked up.

I just happened to run into all of this by chance; what else could it be but luck?

"From this perspective, the events at the Mechanism Holy Island were not truly related to destiny. Perhaps this Heaven and Earth Phenomenon is where my destiny and opportunity lie."

Qi Zhan immediately set about this matter.

"Elder Hua, apart from the better spiritual environment, the outside world isn't necessarily much better than the Land of the Four Directions in other aspects."

In mid-air, Qin Han, riding a flying boat, frowned and looked around.

The distances between the Land of the Four Directions are not too great; one can reach them with a little travel.

The outside world is indeed vast, but traveling here is truly time-consuming and exhausting.

"The truly valuable resources are still controlled by the major powers; we still need to strive to join one of them."

Hua Yunfan spoke, paused, and then continued:

"However, while your cultivation level and strength are respectable in the Land of the Four Directions, they are somewhat insufficient in the vast outside world. You will need to work harder in the coming period."

Given Qin Han's situation, he could at most join some weak forces, but the resources he could provide would be pitifully small.

"Is there any way to quickly improve one's cultivation level and strength?" Qin Han asked.

"First, improve your cultivation level, then solidify your foundation. If possible, this should also help you join those major powers."

"Young Qin," Hua Yunfan reminded him upon hearing this.

"You mustn't have such thoughts. At this stage, you still need to focus on your spiritual practice. Otherwise, it will be too late to make up for it later."

After the words fell, Qin Han hesitated for a moment:

"But if we don't even have what we have now, isn't it a bit much to talk about the future?"

Upon hearing this, Hua Yunfan fell silent.

She wanted to offer more advice, but then she thought, "Forget it, I'm not going to spend my whole life with this kid. I should just let him have the ability to rebuild his physical body as soon as possible, so he can be freed from this sea of suffering."

As for Qin Han's long-term prospects?

Forget it, let's not bother.

"Elder Hua, why are you silent? Do you disagree with what I said?" Qin Han asked.

"No, you're right," Hua Yunfan replied, changing the subject.

"Go ask around the area; I see many people rushing to leave by flying boat."

Mountain and Sea Village.

"Honorable guest, your cushion has brought Qin Han a new opportunity."

What the hell?

The system's sudden notification startled Lu Changzhi slightly.

Qin Han, who was stuck with the old lady's sticker, had been largely forgotten for a long time, but this system notification was truly absurd.

With a thought, he summoned the information about the opportunity.

[Qin Han's Fortuitous Encounter]

[Opportunity Details: Seven days later, in the Southeastern Sea Region, after being soaked and refined in Holy Water, a major mutation occurs, greatly expanding the dantian meridians and causing a rapid advancement in cultivation level, leaping across one major realm and three minor realms, and stepping into the Transcendent Realm in one fell swoop...]

"Hiss?!"

Lu Changzhi's eyes immediately lit up.

That thing with Qin Jiuxiao could only benefit Qin Jiuxiao himself.

But Qin Han is different; he can reap the benefits without lifting a finger.

"If it also elevates me to a higher realm, wouldn't that be..."

He barely got comfortable on the Saint King before he wanted to move on?

It's hard not to be tempted.

"But..."

Lu Changzhi looked at it again, his gaze slightly narrowed, and he said:

"System, the major flaw in Qin Han's mutation is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Changzhi suddenly had a thought.

The wisp of his will that remained within Jin Dashe's body received a summons from Jin Dashe's mother.
