Xu Rui agreed with his wife's suggestion. There was no need to take risks for something he didn't need, especially since they could exchange it for something else.
Then the two of them started an auction right in front of everyone. Whoever offered the most valuable and rare item would get the bead.
The people around them looked at the two of them as if they were idiots. This thing was so precious that no one would trade it, but they actually found a fool who would bring out something so rare.
Xu Rui immediately showed everyone the beads to demonstrate that he wasn't joking.
When the others saw that Xu Rui was serious, they all eagerly signed up and kept communicating with him telepathically, telling him what good things they had.
Tang Baozhu watched quietly from the side, leaving the task of changing the items to her husband.
Others might think they were idiots, but only they knew that there were plenty of these things in the space, and they weren't rare at all.
For them, being able to exchange something they don't care about for something precious to others is an incredibly good deal.
Others might also think that they got a good deal by exchanging items, but Tang Baozhu and her partner also felt that it was a good deal, so it can only be said that each of them thought they got a good deal.
Soon the two colored beads were exchanged, and Xu Rui also traded for a lot of good things. When he returned to Tang Baozhu,
The two discussed it and decided that since they had nothing else to do and their time in the secret realm wouldn't be over so quickly, why not go and explore other places?
The two of them didn't communicate telepathically; they just discussed it openly and casually. Since everyone knew they had run out of colored beads, no one would pay any attention to them.
Tang Baozhu didn't want to stay here either. There were still almost four years before the secret realm closed, and she didn't want to waste the rest of her time here.
"Okay, I'm so bored here. Let's go check out other places. The scenery in the forest is quite nice. It's a good opportunity to try having a picnic."
Then the two of them went out happily.
The rest of the people watched the two of them go out for a picnic, their expressions were truly indescribable.
There was no tense atmosphere at all, and they were even in the mood for a picnic, leaving them speechless.
For the rest of the time, Tang Baozhu and Xu Rui wandered around the secret realm, taking out their cameras from their spatial storage to take pictures of any scenic spots they saw.
Both of them had lived in the modern world, so their photography skills were quite good. Then they started taking pictures of each other.
Tang Baozhu was particularly interested in taking photos wearing various clothes. She had a lot of robes, in various styles and colors.
Then she kept changing into different outfits and taking pictures everywhere in the secret realm.
The longer Tang Baozhu stayed in the cultivation world, the more she loved it. There was nothing else to it but that her appearance remained forever young, something all women desired.
In other worlds, even though they take good care of themselves and eat all sorts of good food, their appearance will still gradually age.
It's different in the cultivation world. Even though I'm over 1000 years old now, I still look like an 18-year-old girl. It's so cool!
Worried that having enjoyed the conveniences of the cultivation world, he might experience appearance anxiety in other worlds, he directly refined several batches of Youth-Preserving Pills. However, fearing that the effects of the Youth-Preserving Pills would be too extraordinary, he specifically refined only low-grade Youth-Preserving Pills, which would only be able to preserve the appearance for about twenty or thirty years.
While it's quite remarkable that one's appearance lasts for twenty or thirty years, it can still be attributed to good maintenance. However, if one's appearance remains unchanged for a lifetime, then it's impossible to fool anyone.
Tang Baozhu and Xu Rui wandered around the secret realm as if they were on a tour, but in that palace complex, a massacre began.
Those who didn't get the colored beads immediately turned their attention to those who did.
It could be said that the river was stained with blood.
Those with ability preserved their organizations, while those without ability inevitably had them taken over by others.
Fortunately, Tang Baozhu and Xu Rui left. Otherwise, even if they hadn't fought over the pearl, they would have been implicated.
Because the area had been in a frenzy of killing, a complete massacre, and there was no longer any semblance of reason left.
They only stopped when about half of the people were left.
For the remaining four years, the two of them lived a very carefree life in the secret realm. Xu Rui no longer had to suppress his cultivation every day because the secret realm isolated him from the opportunity to sense the Dao of Heaven.
Tang Baozhu did not forget to cultivate. She felt that after leaving the secret realm, it would take less than ten years for her to reach perfection. At that time, she could ascend to the immortal realm with Xu Rui.
That day, Tang Baozhu woke up from her meditation and saw Xu Rui looking anxious. "Husband, what's wrong? What happened?"
Xu Rui breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his wife wake up. He wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's time to leave the secret realm. I was worried that you hadn't woken up yet and that we would miss the time to leave. If we missed it, we would be trapped here for 5,000 years. You know, once you're trapped, there's no chance to get out. How could I not be worried?"
Upon hearing that she was leaving, Tang Baozhu quickly put away the prayer mat and flew towards the exit she sensed.
After flying for almost a day, we saw a beam of light shining on the forest floor on the other side of the forest.
The two immediately recognized it as the teleportation beam that had sent them out, so they quickly held hands and ran into the beam to avoid coming out in opposite directions.
After entering the pillar of light, the two instantly left their original location. After about ten seconds, they appeared in an unfamiliar place, still in mid-air.
The first thing Xu Rui did after stabilizing himself was to control his cultivation level, lest he be detected by the Heavenly Dao without realizing it. He didn't want to ascend so quickly.
The two of them determined the direction and didn't plan to go back to the sect. After all, the children had been tricked by the sect and were now estranged from them, so they didn't have any good feelings towards the sect.
At first, unaware of the sect's scheme, they thought the children were truly in great danger. Later, they learned that while there was danger, it wasn't that great. The sect simply wanted to raise the children to be closer to the sect, so they deliberately exaggerated the situation to send the couple away.
After the two of them found out, their feelings towards the sect were not so good anymore. Xu Rui could be said to have grown up in the sect, but it also made him feel particularly heartbroken.
