A life of leisure is worse than a life of flowers and splendour

"You should pay attention to your safety these two days and try not to go to dangerous places. Someone will come to pick you up in two days, and you can board the spaceship with your ID cards. As for the others, I will say hello, and I can follow you to the sect's temporary residence, and I can follow you back to the sect. But to go to the world of immortal cultivation, you have to go through the desert, and you can only walk there on your own. Even if it is not very dangerous to follow the sect, it is difficult for ordinary people to keep up. The sect is unlikely to slow down the pace for a few people, so you'd better think about it carefully. Your ID cards all have protective functions. After activation, they can form a defensive shield that can withstand a full-strength attack from the late foundation-building stage. It can be activated a total of three times." Du Shuangshuang felt that it was a bit useless, but it was actually very good for a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage.

"Oh, we will consider it. Why don't you take us back to the sect right now?" Du Shuangshuang has been a little obsessed with the past two days. Why can't she go back to the sect immediately? It should be safer in the sect. She is afraid of accidents, so of course the sooner the better.

"Oh, we're not going back to the sect. A new secret realm has just appeared, and only Foundation Establishment cultivators or Qi Refining cultivators can enter. The sect is very far away from here, and we can't bring too many Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators. The secret realm is about to open, and it's too late to transfer more people. Besides, we're not sure whether Foundation Establishment cultivators or Qi Refining cultivators can enter. Once it's finally confirmed, if Foundation Establishment cultivators can enter, you will follow the main group back to the sect. If they are in the Qi Refining stage, you may all go in with them."

"Don't worry, even if we let you in, the sect will give you certain life-saving items. Besides, this is a new secret realm that has never been mined, and there are many spiritual objects waiting for you to find. This is a rare opportunity." Many people want to enter but haven't had the chance yet!

"So many spiritual objects!" Du Shuangshuang's eyes lit up. Who wouldn't want treasures? But treasures also come with danger. In that woman's memory, while the secret realm might be rich in treasures, the dangers inherent in it, coupled with the fierce competition within, were equally intense. Honestly, Du Shuangshuang didn't want to risk it. She already had a fair amount of spiritual stones, so she wasn't particularly eager to take risks. Besides, her family planned to go into business, so they would have both spiritual stones and treasures.

"Master Yunshang, if you don't want to go to the secret realm, can you not go?"

"Not going? I'm afraid that's not possible. Besides, this is a new secret realm, and the resources inside must be considerable. How many people are scrambling to get in, why don't you want to go?" If he hadn't been sure that those in the Jindan stage couldn't enter, he wouldn't have accepted the mission to look for people. He would definitely have to wait in the secret realm for it to open.

"But we have almost nothing but cultivation and no combat experience. Our family is already living a good life, so why should we go in and take risks?" Du Shuangshuang was dissatisfied, and seeing that the other party's attitude was pretty good, she expressed her thoughts.

"Little girl, you may not know enough about the world of immortal cultivation. Not to mention that your family will need to invest a huge amount of resources to cultivate in the future, just think about your and your uncle's special physiques. How can you protect yourselves without strength? Besides, there are many sects looking for cultivators and people with spiritual roots now, not only our Taoist sect but also the Demonic Sect. No matter which sect you go to, you must obey the sect's orders and eventually enter the secret realm. Otherwise, why would the sect send people out to find you at such a critical moment?

You should know that the sect usually opens its doors to recruit disciples at a fixed time, which happens only once every three years. Moreover, one needs to go through a strict examination. You can't just get in if you want to, even if you are just a small outer disciple.

Furthermore, not all of the people sent out by the sects are as patient as we are in explaining this to you. Furthermore, if you were to fall into the hands of certain sects, or even demonic sects, you would be in for a rough time. Now that you have Dao Sect backing you up, at least within the sect, you're generally safe. Forget it, to prevent further complications, I'll take you directly back to the sect's temporary base. I'll report your situation and see what the elders have to say."

She couldn't understand why the young girl wouldn't enter the secret realm. It was dangerous, but cultivating immortality was a struggle against fate. You couldn't just sit back and wait for fate to feed you. You had to earn it yourself, didn't you? Even disciples from large sects couldn't just stay within the sect. As soon as they ventured out, they'd encounter danger. These people probably didn't realize how fierce and cruel the competition in the world of immortal cultivation was.

After hearing what the other party said, Du Shuangshuang was still a little disappointed, but she also realized the seriousness of the matter.

It seems that joining a big sect is not all that good. Although you have a backer, you are also subject to control. Or maybe people like us are just hired by the sect to help collect resources in the secret realm. As for the life and death of these people, I am afraid they don’t care that much, right?

Du Shuangshuang didn't know whether this future trip to the secret realm was a good thing or a bad thing. Could it be considered a good thing if one could lose their life if they weren't careful? She preferred a life of leisure and freedom, but for her current weakness, that was difficult. She would also have to face the complex and cruel struggles and fights outside.

The orthodox sects of this Dao Sect should be relatively better off. If they encountered a demon sect, a dual cultivation sect, or someone with bad intentions, they would be in dire straits, and it would be difficult to escape the fate of the furnace and cauldron. This Dao Sect seemed to be relatively better off at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, she said, "Okay, we'll go with you to the sect's temporary base. However, we hope to learn more about the world of immortal cultivation and what we'll face once we enter the sect."

Zhenren Yunshang released a small flying boat, nodded, and immediately took Du Shuangshuang and her family to the sect’s temporary residence.

He only left behind one sentence, "Master Qianyu, I'm going back first, I'll contact you later!" and he disappeared.

What an impatient person! Qianyu took a look and saw that he was the only one left. Sigh, it was all just not meant for him. He better hurry up and look for more talents. He would try to find a few more nests of geniuses. Then he would envy Master Yunshang to death. He would never admit that he was jealous!

Master Yunshang led Du Shuangshuang and his group back to the camp in a hurry. After returning to their own camp, they took them directly to the main tent.

Instead of going in directly, Yunshang Zhenren reached out and touched the front. A transparent glass cover appeared before his eyes, covering the entire tent. After a while, a door appeared on the cover where the entrance should be.

Master Yunshang led Du Shuangshuang and her group into the tent and bowed to the person sitting casually on the soft couch in front of them. "Uncle Master, her name is Du Shuangshuang. They are all from the same family." He then took off the jade pendant on Du Shuangshuang. Three of them have special physiques.

Then Du Shuangshuang felt a divine sense sweeping over her, "This family is really... It's okay, go ahead and do your work, I'll take care of them."

"Uncle Master, they don't seem to know much about the world of immortal cultivation and don't understand many things." Master Yunshang said with a frown.

"Okay, I understand." The uncle nodded and looked at him seriously.

"Also, they don't really want to enter the secret realm." Master Yunshang continued.

"Oh?" The uncle raised his eyebrows, looking puzzled.

"However, their strength is quite good. Perhaps we can gain something in the secret realm. It would be a pity not to go." Master Yunshang added.

"Well, that's true." The uncle nodded slightly in agreement.

"Then Master, I will go on the mission first." Master Yunshang glanced at his master, then turned and left.

"Go ahead, you handled this matter very well. If you encounter someone like this, you should bring him back quickly. It's not safe to leave him outside." The uncle reminded.

"Yes, Uncle Master." Master Yunshang responded and left in a hurry.

Several people knew that they really had nothing to hide in front of powerful people.

"Used a spell to conceal your appearance? Well, this spell is pretty good. If your cultivation level is below the Nascent Soul stage, it shouldn't be visible. If you improve a little, you should be able to hide it even at the Nascent Soul stage. But this is not enough. You need a magic weapon to conceal your physical condition, and it has to be of a high level.

I guess you don't have any, right? Some things can't be obtained with just Spirit Stones. Besides that, cultivation requires a lot of resources. Besides leveling up through cultivation, spells, techniques, and magic weapons all require Spirit Stones, elixirs, and even more protective gear like talismans and formations.

Just like some of you will soon face the problem of building your foundation, building your foundation requires foundation-building pills, and some of the spiritual plants used to refine foundation-building pills are now rare in the current world of immortal cultivation, so even in the top sects, not everyone can get them. In the sect, you need a lot of contribution points to exchange for them, and the prerequisite is to make contributions to the sect and complete the sect's tasks to earn contribution points.

Of course, you can buy it outside, but the chances of finding it are very low. This type of elixir isn't available in regular pharmacies, and even if it does appear, it's quickly snapped up. It usually appears at auctions, so you can imagine its price. The Jindan required to break through to the Jindan stage after Foundation Establishment is even more precious.

Furthermore, your physical fitness must develop quickly here, becoming capable of self-preservation. Otherwise, even within the sect, who will constantly watch over and protect you? The help of others is ultimately limited; a forger must be strong himself. There will always be those who take risks, and the consequences are not what I want to see.

This trip to Mingjing is both dangerous and a great opportunity for you. I hope you can go, but I will give you the opportunity to choose. It is up to you to decide whether to go or not."

This man looked very powerful, but he actually looked very young, with clear features. He didn't look like a bad guy at first glance, and he spoke very logically. In particular, he didn't force them into the secret realm in the end. Du Shuangshuang thought that the other party must have valued their talent.

"Actually, we are from the mortal world and have never been in contact with the world of immortal cultivation before. Is it true that there are murders and robberies everywhere in the world of immortal cultivation?" Du Shuangshuang first explained her situation.

"The mortal world? Just like the various countries here, isn't it all ruled by the emperor? There's a saying that goes, 'If the emperor wants his subjects to die, they must die.' Those in high positions can arbitrarily oppress those of lower status, and officials can also exploit the people at will. These things happen frequently in the mortal world. In the world of immortal cultivation, the same principle applies. The size of power depends on the strength of one's strength. Whoever has the bigger fist has the final say. Do you understand?

The mortal world has its own unique rules and order, and the world of immortal cultivation is no different. However, not everyone is willing to abide by these rules. When resources are scarce, fierce competition and brutal plunder become the norm. In pursuit of higher cultivation and greater power, immortal cultivators fight for limited resources at all costs. They may resort to various means, including deception, violence, and even murder, to obtain what they need. This competition exists not only between individuals but also extends to various sects and factions. Each sect desires more resources to cultivate more outstanding disciples and enhance its own strength and status. Therefore, the struggles in the world of immortal cultivation are often more intense and brutal than those in the mortal world. "The person sitting at the table narrated slowly.

"Do you have any other questions?"

Several people looked at each other and shook their heads.
