After promising countless benefits and saying everything possible, Xiao Yan was finally appeased.
The old man in the ring wiped away non-existent cold sweat from his forehead, lamenting how the world had changed, how people's hearts had grown cold, and how the eager and easily persuaded young heroes of the past had all but vanished.
The next day, when Xiao Yan came to Xiao Feng asking for Purple Leaf Orchid, Bone Cleansing Flower, and a wood-type magic core, Xiao Feng couldn't help but smile.
"Your cousin has finally escaped his tribulations," the Supreme Dan Spirit laughed heartily in Xiao Feng's mind. "Let's hope your cousin doesn't overwork that poor remnant soul too much."
Xiao Feng smiled and handed over the materials for the Foundation Establishment Elixir to Xiao Yan. Seeing the radiant and confident look on Xiao Yan's face, Xiao Feng was relieved.
"Xiao Feng, with a ninth-tier alchemist by his side, your cousin's talent will soon shine again. And now..."
The Supreme Dan Spirit chuckled, "Now, it's time for you to venture into the world."
After nurturing Xiao Feng for so long, it was finally time to let him out without worrying that he'd be easily crushed. Three years had passed, and while Li Yu had also used this time to enhance his own cultivation, the wait had been long enough.
"There are still plenty of treasures in this world—the Taixu Ancient Dragon and Sky Phoenix corpses in ancient ruins, the Bodhi Tree in the wilderness, the Void Thunder Pool on Dragon Island, the Heavenly Tomb in the Ancient Realm, and of course, the Emperor's Cave Mansion."
Li Yu smiled. "Although Xiao Feng's strength is still somewhat lacking, it's time to start thinking about the Ancient Realm."
With this in mind, Li Yu immediately instructed the Supreme Dan Spirit to persuade Xiao Feng to visit the Ancient Realm.
At the Xiao family estate...
"Cousin Xiao Feng, you were looking for me?"
Xiao Xun'er looked at Xiao Feng in surprise. The sudden rise of this cousin, whose abilities remained unclear, made her feel slightly uneasy.
She had been sent to the Xiao family with a mission. Although she had never done anything to harm the Xiao family, she always felt a guilty conscience, as if she were a spy.
"Indeed, I have something to ask of you today."
Xiao Feng smiled at Xiao Xun'er but inwardly questioned the Supreme Dan Spirit, "Master, why did you want me to find Cousin Xun'er? You mentioned a great opportunity, but Xun'er is just an ordinary girl..."
"Hah, what do you know? Ordinary girl? If you knew her background, it would scare you to death. Just say what I tell you."
"Alright..."
Xiao Feng sighed inwardly. While he knew the Supreme Dan Spirit wouldn't mislead him, it was still hard to believe.
"Cousin Xun'er, I wish to visit the Ancient Realm and need your assistance."
Following the Supreme Dan Spirit's guidance, Xiao Feng spoke words even he couldn't fully comprehend.
"The Ancient Realm?"
Xiao Xun'er's body trembled, her eyes flashing with shock, and a hint of panic crept into her expression as her mind churned with turbulent thoughts.
How does he know about the Ancient Realm? Why is he coming to me? Does he already know my origins? Does he know my mission?
"The Ancient Realm... where is that? Cousin Xiao Feng, are you planning to go on a journey? But I don't even know what the Ancient Realm is—how can I help?"
