The body is like smoke, mist, and wind.

"I will forge you a suit of armor to conceal your identity from heavenly secrets and the detection of powerful beings, making it easier for you to move around in the future. Of course, if you are fortunate enough to have your soul body grow into flesh and blood, that would be even better! However, it is as difficult as ascension!"

"What do you want?" Sherry's gaze was frank. To gain something, you must give something in return; this is an eternal truth.

"Take me into the secret realm to have a look?" the old Taoist said, his eyes filled with melancholy.

"That's all?" Sherry asked, somewhat surprised.

"To me, it's the past I can't get back. To you, it's your talisman's refuge! Aren't you afraid I'll refuse to leave?" The old Taoist laughed heartily.

"If you really want it, there's nothing I can do! Besides, it was originally yours! I'll accept this karma!"

Sherry spoke frankly, not because she was a naive young woman.

Rather, when you're facing someone who can crush you with a flick of their wrist, no amount of cunning will help!

The old Taoist priest looked at her with the same gaze he used when looking at her, as if he were looking through her at someone else.

Sherry led the old Taoist to the secret realm. The old Taoist looked with great interest at the abundant medicinal plants, the two little foxes, and the thatched hut he thought he would never see again...

"Little snake demon, do you know that this secret realm actually developed sentience later on?" The old Taoist kept stroking the bookshelves, the pharmacy, the alchemy furnace, and the fruit trees...

Sherry looked on incredulously.

"It's a pity that the old Taoist priest tried every means, but could only establish a connection with the avatar. Unfortunately, that planet was sealed off by a powerful being."

"Why?!"

"A Qi cultivator offended someone in another world, and some petty people wanted to vent their anger on the entire planet! So someone sealed off the entire planet, cutting off the path for future Qi cultivators, and it became a paradise for mortals! There are advantages and disadvantages, and this old Taoist is powerless even to harbor resentment!"

"No wonder!" Sherry thought to herself, if she hadn't captured the system, she would have been finished!

"You actually found a jade stone containing spiritual energy. No wonder you were able to cross the forest!" The old Taoist priest looked at the path at the edge of the forest.

"The little fox helped me fill it in; I just liked it instinctively, but I didn't know its purpose!"

The old Taoist nodded and disappeared into the forest.

Sherry quickly accepted the mission and set off!
