"Then, fellow Daoist, may I elaborate? I am truly humbled and humbled by this, wondering what kind of fortuitous opportunity it is that I could use the Azure Luo Fruit as a reward?"

"Fellow Daoist, you misunderstand." The woman with the green veil shook her head and chuckled, "This is not a reward, but merely a token of my sincerity, expressing the extent to which I wish for Fellow Daoist Lin's assistance!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, feeling even more that things were not simple. He immediately said in a deep voice, "Fellow Daoist, why don't you explain yourself more clearly?"

"The place we are going to retrieve the treasure is that demon's lair in the secret realm. If you agree to go, not only will you be rewarded afterwards, but you will also receive a share of any extra opportunities you encounter on this trip."

"Even if the opportunities in the demon's lair are insufficient to share with you, the reward afterward will be a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill. I wonder if this reward is enough? However, I don't have any on me. If the matter is successfully completed, I will naturally offer it to you after we leave the secret realm!"

The woman with the green veil spoke calmly, her words revealing a complete confidence, as if she had Lin Xiuyuan completely under her control.

Because it is not difficult to observe that Lin Xiuyuan's aura shows a bit of ferocity, obviously he has tried to break through to the Foundation Establishment stage, probably more than once, probably twice.

Now that we've come to this secret place, and are striving for opportunities, what we ultimately seek is nothing more than a high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill.

So now that she has presented what she wants, what reason is there to refuse?

However, she clearly underestimated Lin Xiuyuan's caution, or rather, his fear of death.

"How many people will be traveling with you on this trip?" Lin Xiuyuan did not answer immediately, but asked in return.

She paused for a moment, then replied truthfully, "The opportunity is significant, and to prevent the news from leaking out, only a few of us are traveling together. Don't worry, if you're concerned about this, fellow Daoist, you don't need to be too concerned. Everyone here is powerful, at least no weaker than you!"

Seeing this, Lin Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of interest crossing his mind, but ultimately he decisively shook his head and refused:

"I'm sorry, fellow Daoist's sincerity is indeed very great, and the reward is also generous, but I have no intention of going to my death. Fellow Daoist, please take it back!"

At that moment, Lin Xiuyuan waved his hand, and the Azure Luo Fruit floating in front of him shot back towards the woman.

She reached out to stop him, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes, and immediately handed the Green Luo Fruit back to Lin Xiuyuan.

"Fellow Daoist, why refuse so quickly? Why not consider it? Since we're going to explore for treasure, I'll go myself. Why talk about throwing my life away? Although it's quite dangerous, since we're going, I'm confident of success. Besides, it's not like we're going deep into a demon's lair!"

But as they talked, Lin Xiuyuan remained calm, seemingly unmoved.

Her expression hardened slightly. She hadn't expected Lin Xiuyuan to be so decisive. The reward he offered, not to mention the Azure Luo Fruit in front of him, was enough to drive any Qi Refining cultivator crazy!

Lin Xiuyuan's attitude was completely unexpected. She thought that winning Lin Xiuyuan over to join her was a sure thing, but she didn't expect Lin Xiuyuan to refuse so decisively!

Hearing these words, Lin Xiuyuan remained calm and unmoved.

The temptation may be great, but you must be alive to take it.

This trip to this secret place is also seen as a last-ditch effort.

Lin Xiuyuan was extremely tempted by the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill on display, as it was the ultimate item he sought.

But the danger must be controllable.

Given the current situation, there is still a considerable chance to gather enough opportunities to exchange for high-grade Foundation Establishment Pills.

Lin Xiuyuan hasn't reached the end of his road yet; he still has room to maneuver. There's no need for him to risk his life for this.

Even with Lin Xiuyuan's current combat strength, going to that demon's lair would be a near-certain death!

That secret demon lair is located deep within the core area. Since it can be called a lair, it is naturally a place where demonic beasts gather.

To put it another way, even in this dangerous secret place, that demon's lair is like a death trap!

These places where demonic beasts gather are incredibly densely packed, and in terms of their populations, it's impossible to enter without a large group of cultivators coming together to conquer them.

Not to mention, there were only a few people traveling together...

Even if it's not suicide, it's still courting death!

Even if Lin Xiuyuan was tempted by the high-grade Foundation Establishment Pill, he needed to be alive to enjoy it.

Moreover, since it was only a promise of compensation, and not something that could be paid out immediately, it added a layer of uncontrollable factors, making it difficult for Lin Xiuyuan to agree.

Seeing Lin Xiuyuan's unmoved attitude, the woman with the blue veil on her face couldn't help but turn slightly cold, and said indifferently:

"Fellow Daoist, it seems you have no room to refuse, do you? Killing a disciple of my Golden Sea Sect can be a big or small matter here. At best, it's just a struggle for opportunities; the Five Elements Sect loses many people every day in this secret realm, and no one cares. But if we investigate..."

"Does fellow Daoist perhaps intend to remain here unscathed and seek opportunities?"
