My best friend asked me if I was still doing system tasks.

Luo Hanying stood in front of the mural, but couldn't understand what it depicted at all—

She wasn't a local, the original owner of this body had no knowledge in this area, and Xiange hadn't taught her either; she also didn't usually look at things related to this.

All she could make out were the strange patterns painted on the mural, sometimes scattered and sometimes clustered together.

After cutting off the communication, Ji Daoyun said, "Let's find clues as soon as possible. Lin Zhuzui told me that they are currently trapped in the maze by boulders. They are not in immediate danger, but it is hard to say what will happen next."

Luo Hanying could hardly believe it: "You mean they're all trapped in the maze?"

Ji Daoyun nodded and asked, "Did you see anything in the murals?"

Luo Hanying shook her head awkwardly: "No, I can't understand what's drawn on it."

"Okay, let me take a look."

Ji Daoyun suddenly sensed fluctuations in spiritual energy. Before he could find the source of the fluctuations, a slightly childish voice echoed in Ji Daoyun and Luo Hanying's ears: "It doesn't matter if you don't understand, there are people here who do understand."

Ji Daoyun and Luo Hanying both turned their heads and saw the little elf floating in the air, flapping its wings.

"What is this thing?" Luo Hanying took a step back warily, examining the fist-sized creature suspiciously. "Why does it look like a human?"

Just as Fusheng was about to speak, he was interrupted by a delighted cry: "Xiaoxue!"

Ruan Chayan had already arrived here. When she saw the two people not far away, she called out to them.

Luo Hanying's eyes lit up with joy: "Cha Cha!"

She noticed a white deer following Ruan Chayan and Wenren Ya; the white deer was none other than Bai Shun.

Whether it's Fusheng or Baishun, their bodies have a slightly ethereal quality, making them seem less like living beings.

Luo Hanying tentatively asked, "Is there any spirit beast living in the underground palace where there is no sunlight?"

Bai Shun's voice was androgynous and magnetic: "You're joking. Fusheng and I are both spirits of artifacts."

"You two are the spirits of the weapon that 'scatters a thousand pieces of gold'?!" Wenren Ya denied her own words again. "That's not right, how can there be two spirits?"

"Since you want to know my and Bai Shun's identities, then come with us to the front room for a short while. We will not hide anything from you."

Fushengfei led the way for the four people.

Ji Daoyun's gaze fell on Fusheng and Bai Shun: "Why don't you two explain why you've trapped us cultivators in the underground palace? How can we believe you have no ill intentions?"

What if you intend to take us to the side room and kill us?

This is your master's underground palace. Don't you have any complaints about us outsiders entering?"

Luo Hanying and Ruan Chayan paused, and Wenren Ya said cautiously, "I don't think they mean any harm..."

Fusheng waved his hand dismissively: "If we really wanted to kill you, we wouldn't have let you in."

"Why do you think you're standing here unharmed? You don't really think you can withstand the traps in this underground palace, do you?"

The four fell silent, pondering whether their experiences along the way had shown signs of being taken advantage of, as Fusheng had said.

Seeing that the group's expressions were not good, Bai Shun reassured them: "We wanted to find a master for ourselves, which is why we let you into the underground palace."

"Let's talk in the side room. After all, both Fusheng and I are divine artifacts; don't you covet them?"

Ruan Chayan and Luo Hanying exchanged a glance: Even if they wanted the divine artifact, they still needed to be alive, right? Their journey had not been easy.

Ji Daoyun asked cautiously, "Won't those cultivators trapped in the maze be in any danger?"

Fu Sheng looked at Ji Daoyun with a disdainful smile: "Of course not, we just don't want unnecessary people to disturb the tomb owner's peaceful rest."

With Fusheng's assurance, Ji Daoyun felt somewhat at ease.

Danger and opportunity coexist. The four followed Bai Shun and Fu Sheng into the side room.

"My name is Bai Shun, and I am the spirit of the divine artifact Sanqianjin. Sanqianjin is a beast-taming ring shaped like a Qiankun Ring, which was crafted by Venerable Jiang Li. You must have heard of it."

Bai Shun recounted, "This Kunling is the tomb of my first master and Venerable Jiang. At that time, San Qianjin had not yet developed a spirit, and I was also Venerable Jiang's spirit beast. Before she passed away, she entrusted me to her friend..."

Fusheng interjected, "He is my only master."

Bai Shun stopped in front of a gray skeleton sitting against the wall and continued, "After that, I followed my master Fusheng through the mortal world, and had two more masters."

Because San Qianjin has not yet developed a spirit, and my lifespan is coming to an end, I volunteered to become the spirit.

I begged my third master to send me back to the secret realm before he died. I returned to Venerable Jiang's side, and this skeleton is that of my third master, Yu Fan.

“You are the best among these cultivators. Not only were you not misled by the desires in the illusion array, but your abilities are also outstanding, and you successfully walked out of the maze.”

Bai Shun then changed the subject and brought up the purpose of the encounter with Fusheng, "We have been sleeping in the underground palace for so many years that we have lost count. Now we want to go out and see the world. And you happen to be quite outstanding. So are you willing to form a pact with us?"

Luo Hanying spoke quickly and excitedly: "The only beast tamer among the four of us is Chacha. If you really want to find a master, then you should definitely form a bond with Chacha."

Bai Shun generously shared his thoughts: "That's right, I've been observing her for a long time. I think you're the only beast tamer who has gone through so many trials to get here. Perhaps this is our destiny."

Ruan Chayan gave an awkward but polite smile: "Although I am a beast tamer, I may not be a good master. I think you should think it over carefully."

Bai Shun never expected that he, as a divine artifact, would be rejected one day. He said calmly, "Why should you belittle yourself, fellow Daoist?"

You show great care for your two spirit beasts, and you can't bear to see them harmed in the underground palace; I've seen it all.

Ruan Chayan couldn't help but laugh self-deprecatingly: "You only see how good I am to these two spirit beasts, but you don't know that I have another spirit beast that was captured while protecting me, and we still haven't been able to rescue it."

It was captured to protect me, and now I'm searching for opportunities in a secret realm, aren't I?

She felt really sorry for Jin Si, but she was in dire straits herself and was powerless to help him in his situation.

Upon hearing this, Bai Shun hesitated and went to the side to talk to Fu Sheng.

"Cha Cha, this is a divine artifact! Why did you refuse Bai Shun? It would be so much better to have a divine artifact by your side."

Luo Hanying had no idea about the complicated thoughts in Ruan Chayan's mind; she was now blinded by the joy of Bai Shunhui choosing Ruan Chayan.
