Luo Xingxing's lengthy self-introduction left Xiao Lingchen momentarily bewildered.

  He clearly hadn't expected to encounter someone so shameless in this world.

  While introductions of others were brief, he seemed eager to sing his own praises to the heavens.

  "Smack!"

  Just as Luo Xingxing was basking in his own glory, Bi Qi smacked him on the back of the head.

  He grumbled:

  "Alright, enough of your bragging!"

  "Let's drink!"

  However, he then remembered something and turned to Xiao Lingchen, asking:

  "By the way, how should we address you, my friend?"

  Xiao Lingchen replied without hesitation:

  "Azure Cloud City, Xiao Lingchen."

  The five of them cupped their fists in unison:

  "So it's Brother Xiao, a pleasure to meet you."

  Pleasure, my foot!

  The so-called pleasure was clearly just a polite exchange.

  But Xiao Lingchen didn't mind much.

  Under their enthusiastic invitation, he took a seat and began to drink with them.

  Having lived two lives, Xiao Lingchen could hold his liquor quite well, and he enjoyed drinking with them.

  After a few rounds, Bi Qi couldn't hold back any longer and looked at Luo Xingxing, asking:

  "Little Luo, didn't you say you had information about this Secret Realm to share with us? Why are you still holding back?"

  Luo Xingxing replied irritably:

  "I told you not to call me Little Luo! I'm the future leader of the righteous path, the savior of the world!"

  Bi Qi said:

  "Got it, Little Luo, hurry up!"

  Luo Xingxing was speechless and didn't bother arguing with him.

  The narrative has been taken without permission. Report any sightings.

  "Fine, I'll share the information I have with you."

  Hearing this, everyone present perked up.

  Even Hou Ping, who had been drunk and asleep on the table, struggled to lift his head.

  It was clear how enticing the information about the Secret Realm was to them.

  Xiao Lingchen also became serious, listening intently.

  Luo Xingxing flipped his hand, revealing a parchment scroll, which he unfolded to reveal a map.

  Luo Xingxing said:

  "This is the map of the Secret Realm!"

  "According to the information I have, this Secret Realm is the ruins of an ancient sect from millions of years ago."

  "This sect was incredibly vast and profound, and the treasures hidden within are countless!"

  "As long as you can safely enter the Secret Realm, anyone with a bit of luck can gain something!"

  "And this time, many cultivators are heading to the Secret Realm for a Divine Artifact from this ancient sect."

  "The artifact is called the Cauldron of Fate, a Heaven Grade Divine Artifact. Whoever obtains it can nourish their body with the essence of fate within the cauldron, transforming and becoming immortal!"

  After Luo Xingxing's introduction, everyone present widened their eyes.

  Their drunkenness vanished without a trace, replaced by shock!

  "A Heaven Grade Divine Artifact?"

  "Immortal body?"

  "Is this for real?"

  "Is there really such a miraculous thing in this world?"

  Luo Xingxing replied nonchalantly:

  "Of course, it's said that the Sect Master of this ancient sect had an immortal body, but unfortunately, he encountered an opponent too powerful, who shattered his soul. Otherwise, he might still be alive today!"

  "But it's good that he's dead. With his death, the Cauldron of Fate became ownerless. After millions of years, the essence of fate within it has likely reached a terrifying level. Whoever obtains it this time might truly soar to the heavens!"

  For a moment, everyone present was filled with longing.

  The miraculous abilities of the Cauldron of Fate were irresistible to all.

  However, Hou Ping's words soon shattered their fantasies.

  Hou Ping said:

  "Since the Cauldron of Fate is so wondrous, there must be countless people entering the Secret Realm, including many powerful individuals, possibly even those above the Breaking Illusions Realm. Doesn't that mean we have no chance?"

  With these words, everyone frowned.

  Their strength was generally around the eighth level of the Spirit Platform Realm, with the strongest among them, Yu Haoran, only at the Dao Palace Realm.

  If there were truly experts above the Breaking Illusions Realm entering, they would have no chance at all!

  "You don't need to worry about that."

  Luo Xingxing chuckled and said:

  "If there was truly no chance, I wouldn't have traveled so far!"

  "This Secret Realm has long been set with a Restraining Spell by the heavens, preventing anyone above the Breaking Illusions Realm from entering!"

  "Moreover, the Cauldron of Fate is a supreme spiritual treasure that recognizes its owner. Only those with great fortune and fate can obtain it!"

  "In other words, whether it's you or me, as long as we enter, we all have a chance to obtain the Cauldron of Fate!"

  Yu Haoran suddenly understood:

  "No wonder you're willing to share this information with us without worrying about us stealing your opportunity. So that's how it is!"

  Luo Xingxing laughed:

  "Exactly! Since obtaining the Cauldron of Fate depends on fortune and fate, sharing this information doesn't matter."

  "And I can gain temporary allies like you, so we can look out for each other when we enter the Secret Realm."

  The group exchanged glances and nodded in agreement.

  Indeed, since obtaining the Cauldron of Fate depended on fortune and fate, there was no competition between them.

  Forming an alliance to enter the Secret Realm together would allow them to look out for each other, and even if they didn't gain any fortune, their lives would be more secure.

  With this thought, their trust in each other increased significantly.

  They drank even more joyfully.

  Time flew by.

  In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

  During these three days, more and more cultivators arrived in Fengshang City.

  The streets of Fengshang City were packed with people, leaving no room to move.

  Sometimes, large flying boats could be seen passing overhead, or carriages pulled by demonic beasts, all belonging to powerful families.

  Meanwhile, life in the small courtyard remained peaceful and calm.

  Xiao Lingchen and the others spent most of their time waiting and cultivating.

  Occasionally, when they felt like it, they would invite each other to drink in the courtyard.

  ......

  One morning.

  Just as Xiao Lingchen woke from a dream, a commotion erupted outside.

  He looked out the window.

  Su Su had been pushed to the ground, and a muscular middle-aged man with a mustache was shouting at her:

  "How dare you put us in this shabby room?"

  "Who do you think you are?"

  As he spoke, the middle-aged man grabbed Su Su and lifted her into the air.

  Su Su was clearly terrified, her clean little face as pale as paper.

  "Uncle... this room may be small, but it's not shabby at all! And I've cleaned it thoroughly."

  "If... if you don't want to stay, I can refund your money..."

  The middle-aged man suddenly threw Su Su aside, but fortunately, Yu Haoran, dressed in white and looking graceful, appeared in time to catch her, preventing any injury.

  The middle-aged man glanced at Yu Haoran but didn't take him seriously.

  He then looked at the room behind Yu Haoran.

  With a sneer, he said:

  "Your room looks nice. From today on, it's mine."
