Xie Fengnan watched the people in the light screen for a while, then turned to ask the tomb spirit, "Why do they all have to participate in trials to obtain opportunities?"

Xie Fengnan thought everyone else was like him, with a bunch of treasures to choose from as soon as they were teleported in. If the tomb spirit hadn't shown up and explained, he probably wouldn't know how it all worked.

"Because you're handsome?" the tomb spirit joked.

"I'm an honest man, if you dare to say it, I'll believe you." Xie Fengnan clearly didn't believe him.

The tomb spirit naturally figured it out too, "Okay, actually it's because..."

The familiar teleportation power came again. Since there was no malice, Xie Fengnan did not resist. It was still the familiar high-class small space.

However, those orbs of light were no longer the same as when Xie Fengnan first came. Instead, they rushed towards Xie Fengnan like bees encountering flowers.

Well, I can't see any restraint at all.

However, when they got close enough, they seemed to be intimidated by something and suddenly stopped moving, only daring to wander around obediently outside the range.

"Uh..." Xie Fengnan was confused. "Does this mean they all think I'm handsome?"

"...You're not wrong to think that way." This was the first time the Tomb Spirit had seen someone like this, someone who always had their face on their lips; it was a unique kind of refined elegance.

Xie Fengnan didn't want to either, but he felt that if he directly said that they all liked him, he would be labeled as an ordinary guy. At least if they kept praising his good looks, it was still within the realm of narcissism.

"If that's the case, then can't I be the heir?"

The tomb spirit hesitated visibly, but she didn't dwell on it for long. "Actually, I shouldn't tell people outside the tomb about this so easily, but you... are an exception."

The spirit of the tomb began to tell the story of this place.

It turns out that this is an ancient tomb that has buried many masters, so there are indeed many opportunities and inheritances, but it is not an easy thing to take them away.

These masters were said to have been buried, but they did not actually die. Instead, they existed in the tomb in another form, with the tomb spirit acting as their representative.

Every opportunity given away represents a master's choice, but it doesn't necessarily mean good intentions.

Possibly, things like possession, evil practices, or other heinous acts are all possible to achieve the desired opportunity.

Conversely, there are opportunities with ill intentions, and there are opportunities with good intentions.

In Xie Fengnan's words, they were the epitome of the masters buried here; some were easy to talk to, while others were not.

People who are easy to talk to will give you benefits without expecting anything in return, while those who are difficult to talk to will also give you benefits, but whether you can afford to pay the price is another matter.

The selection of a successor is the process by which the tomb spirit assesses whether the chosen person is capable of receiving this opportunity.

Talent, cunning, luck, and so on will all be taken into account.

For example, if a malicious opportunity chooses an ordinary heir, the tomb spirit will not approve, and the opportunity cannot be taken away by that person. This is the rule of Baichuan Cemetery.

To emphasize, the malice here doesn't just refer to those who want to harm others, but also includes inherited items that are inherently ominous.

If a knife can be a fruit knife in the hands of an ordinary person, it can also be a murder weapon in the hands of a murderer. The function of a knife is not determined by the knife itself, but by the person who uses it.

However, an object considered extremely inauspicious can influence its owner, thus determining whether it is a fruit knife or a murder weapon.

They are called extremely inauspicious not because they are bad or strong, but because they are evil.

They will either turn against their master or bewitch people to make their master sink into their own demise. If you are strong enough, you are the one who controls the great evil. If you are not strong enough, you can only be its slave and will most likely not have a good ending.

Therefore, the tomb spirit will not allow someone who is not strong enough to take away this opportunity.

It's okay for a weak person to take away a weak opportunity, but it's not okay for them to take away a strong and evil one.

It's easy to understand, right? Giving you something beyond your means is sometimes not a good thing, not to mention that it's very likely to harm you.

You might wonder, why not eliminate the malicious opportunities?

First of all, existence implies its own justification.

Secondly, the world is so big, and trees vary in quality; sometimes, even bad luck can bring unexpected rewards.

Of course, nothing is absolute. The tomb spirits are simply trying their best to guide the development of things in the direction they should go. But the one thing that never changes in this world is change itself.

Therefore, even tomb spirits are extremely cautious when deciding on the allocation of certain opportunities.

However, when faced with special circumstances, the tomb spirit will also make decisions based on the situation, so it has to bring up that saying: anything is possible, but this possibility really depends on luck.

Xie Fengnan recalled the scene of the tomb spirit inviting him.

Indeed, the spirit of the tomb did not say how many successors to choose, nor did it tell him what he would inherit; it was all just his own guess and imagination.

So the tomb spirit was just inviting him to watch the show together?

Thinking about it this way makes me even more excited.

As the spirit of the tomb just said, there are only so many opportunities, but there are far more people. Some people may not get any at all, while others may get several.

Isn't this just like that, two people fighting over one person, you love me, but I don't love you?

Finally, let it choose for itself; what if it chooses something unexpected?

This still requires approval from the person in charge; it's definitely a melodramatic soap opera.

If you put yourself in that situation, it's actually quite engaging.

"But why didn't I get a trial?"

Xie Fengnan had not forgotten this question.
