Many disciples entered the secret realm with this intention: the spiritual energy here is abundant, making cultivation twice as effective with half the effort, and it is the most suitable place to solidify one's foundation.

In addition, this place is equipped with many formations set up by the disciples of the Xuan lineage, making it a base that can be both offensive and defensive. Therefore, it is necessary to send enough people to guard it. Otherwise, under such circumstances, it would be extremely easy for other forces to take notice.

Unfortunately, Lin Xiuyuan had originally planned to earn some merit and then go out to gain the insights he needed, but he was unexpectedly assigned to guard this place, which was quite helpless.

However, since things had already come to this point, Lin Xiuyuan didn't dwell on the matter too much and could only wait and see if there was still a chance.

Even without this opportunity, given his current status and background, obtaining the necessary spiritual items shouldn't be too much of a problem.

Lin Xiuyuan meditated peacefully in the tent for two days, and also sorted out the spoils that had come from Gu Wenbai and the other two.

Although Gu Wenbai and his two companions did not have particularly powerful backgrounds, they came from a medium-sized sect.

However, he is also a powerful cultivator who has reached the peak of Foundation Establishment, and is one of the elite disciples among them, so his wealth is quite substantial.

Dan Guwenbai possessed items worth over 200,000 yuan, as well as many spiritual objects, enough to add to Lin Xiuyuan's merit.

The other two were slightly less well-off, but not by much. A rough calculation shows that their income was at least over 500,000.

Furthermore, the magic sword used by Gu Wenbai was exceptionally good, named the Shattering Ice Spirit Sword. Although it was only a high-grade magic weapon, it possessed a certain mystique. When activated, it carried a certain amount of icy power. Even without a powerful sword technique, simply activating it with profound magic power would not be weaker than an ordinary sword technique.

Lin Xiuyuan had always relied on the Dao of Talismans, and his resources were meager, so he hadn't practiced sword techniques much. Therefore, he hadn't prepared any special magical artifacts. The only one he could show off was the Shadow Shield given to him by his master, Wang Yangshan. The magical sword he used was just an ordinary high-grade magical sword, nothing special.

The addition of this magical sword, kept as a backup, undoubtedly enhances our capabilities.

"The more intense and dangerous the environment, the higher the potential rewards! In the end, it's still murder and arson that bring wealth!"

Lin Xiuyuan sighed with satisfaction.

However, such windfall gains are only temporary and should not be taken for granted.

Lin Xiuyuan suppressed his wavering thoughts and didn't dwell on it.

Having unnecessary thoughts is quite dangerous.

In the midst of self-cultivation and combat, life and death can be decided at any moment.

Especially in this environment, the most talented new generation of cultivators in the Southern Continent have gathered, each one a leader among their peers.
