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

Ruan Chayan's attitude was not enthusiastic: "The problem is that we don't know whether Bai Shun's heart is good or bad, let alone whether it really wants a master to take it into the world, or whether it has ulterior motives."

It says it has had three owners, and I'm bound to be compared to those three. What if it's dissatisfied with me and complains about me all the time?

Wasn't Ruan Chayan excited? How could she not be excited to hear that she could also possess a divine artifact like those big shots?

However, she was always cautious and believed that there was no such thing as a free lunch. Why would a divine artifact choose an ordinary person who had accidentally entered the underground palace instead of those cultivators at the top of the two realms?

—Although they entered the underground palace because of these two artifact spirits, it can't be considered an accidental entry.

Wenren Ya knew she had no chance with the divine artifact, so she remained silent, examining her body and meditating to recover.

Ji Daoyun seemed thoughtful, but didn't say much. He occasionally checked the situation with Lin Zhuzui and the others, telling them that they would try to resolve the immediate issue as quickly as possible and then go to help them.

—Ji Daoyun did not mention that the four of them encountered the spirit of the divine artifact.

He was fine with the disciples of the Shiren Sect who had entered the secret realm; he trusted their character.

If people from other sects found out about this, who knows what they might do out of greed?

Bai Shun and Fu Sheng quickly returned to them. Bai Shun's attitude was firm: "If you don't want to form a bond with me, that's fine, but I have one request: you must take me away from here until I find a master who is destined for me."

The request wasn't difficult, and Luo Hanying thought Ruan Chayan would agree immediately, but to her surprise, Ruan Chayan once again made a surprising statement.

"How does this work?"

Ruan Chayan shook her head and chuckled, "You are a divine artifact. Once you appear in the world, you will surely be fought over by everyone. With my meager cultivation, I will only be a sacrifice and cannot protect you."

Bai Shun was so angry at Ruan Chayan's attitude that he laughed: "You're such a strange person. This won't do, that won't do. If you're not willing, then forget it! I, Bai Shun, don't need you!"

And you? Would you like to come with me?

Ji Daoyun stared at the exasperated Bai Shunwen and said gently, "Why don't you ask Luo Hanying if she's willing? If these three cultivators are unwilling to accept you, I can take you away from here."

But you need to think this through. I'm not exactly an understanding person either, and with you by my side, it will be difficult for me to meet your needs.

The implication is that he can only take Bai Shun out of the secret realm, and he will not help Bai Shun with anything he wants to do afterward, nor will he care what Bai Shun goes through.

When Wenren Ya met Bai Shun's gaze, her smile was tinged with apology: "I am in a precarious situation myself. If you come with me, my superiors will take you away, and you may end up following evil people to do evil."

Fu Sheng scoffed and complained, "Don't you four know what you're talking about?! Bai Shun and I are divine artifacts! Divine artifacts!"

You treat these rare and amazing artifacts like trash and don't even want to pick them up?! What's wrong with the outside world? Is there anything better than us old fogies out there? You just look down on them that much?

You people aren't just putting on an act with us!

"Normally they were all eager to break the formation, find us, and make us acknowledge them as their master. Why are they all so disgusted now?"

Fu Sheng looked at Luo Hanying: "You've been very agitated; you must really want to possess the divine artifact, right?"

Luo Hanying scratched her forehead and said with difficulty, "Whether I want to and whether I can are two different things. Not to mention that I have the same concerns as Chacha and Wenren Ya, I don't cultivate the way of beast taming, so Bai Shun can't follow me."

"I can follow you."

After saying this, Fusheng felt a little inferior, but the current situation was really not optimistic. These four most outstanding people were indeed not swayed by desires. They were able to leave the illusion array in the blink of an eye, and now they could even resist such a great temptation as a divine artifact.

Putting aside the fact that it and Bai Shun have been asleep for countless years, I really want to go out and see the scenery.

In this dark and spiritually depleted underground palace, they have been sleeping for a long time. Even divine artifacts will decay without the nourishment of their master's spiritual energy and soul.

Even if the physical body is not greatly affected after a thousand or ten thousand years, the spirit body will not be able to withstand it.

When their spirits dissipate, won't they become mindless, lifeless things?

It is not easy for an object to give birth to a spirit. The spirit has already witnessed the splendor of the mortal world, so how could it be willing to dissipate now?

Fusheng and Baishun looked down on the cultivators in the maze. Were they trying to belittle themselves in front of these four cultivators?

"We only know Bai Shun's identity, but we don't know what kind of divine artifact you are?"

Luo Hanying never expected such a good thing, or perhaps it wasn't a good thing at all, since she and Ruan Chayan had always had bad luck.

"My name is Fusheng, and I am the spirit of the divine artifact, Huifusheng."

Fusheng proudly raised his chin, "You've all heard of me, haven't you?"

Luo Hanying looked at Wenren Ya, who shook her head, indicating that she had never heard of this divine artifact in the Canghai Realm.

Seeing that everyone remained silent, Fusheng became quite exasperated: "You bunch of ignorant fools! You don't even know about the Confucian and Taoist divine artifact, Hui Fusheng?!"

I am a divine artifact personally crafted by the Confucian and Taoist master Fu Ming! My hanging cord is made from the feathers of the mythical beast Vermilion Bird! The pen cap and pen holder are carved from jade from the Moon Palace!

Fusheng stared at the stunned crowd, his eyes suddenly reddening: "Fine, if you don't remember, you don't remember. Tens of thousands of years ago, I'll let you know that even someone from ten thousand years ago made things difficult for you little kids."

"It's alright. If you really want to form a bond with me, you can tell me about Fuming later. That way, someone will remember him again, won't they?"

Luo Hanying wanted to reach out and touch Fusheng, but her fingers passed right through its spirit.

Fusheng's critical gaze finally revealed a hint of satisfaction: "You're smart enough. Since that's the case, then come with me to the tomb to recognize your master."

Out of caution, Ji Daoyun asked, "Do you want her to acknowledge you as your master, or do you want her to acknowledge you as your master? You need to make it clear."

Fusheng clicked his tongue: "Who gives you the right to speak?"

Ruan Chayan sensed something was wrong: "So you're going to make Xiaoxue your slave?"

Fusheng snorted lightly: "It's a blessing for this silly girl to acknowledge me as her master!"

Luo Hanying took three steps back, distancing herself from Fusheng: "Then I am not worthy of this blessing. If that's what you mean, I think we should just forget about it. I don't really want to know your story anymore."

The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and both Fusheng and Baishun remained silent.
