Qin Chen was quite unceremonious, directly accepting the storage ring, after all, it was free.
After accepting the storage ring, Qin Chen cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for your help. Since the warriors from the Battle King Sect blocking us are no longer here, we shall take our leave and hurry to explore this secret realm, as that is the right thing to do."
Qin Chen cupped his hands and, after exchanging glances with Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng and the others, was about to leave.
The old man, Huang Yun, clearly did not expect Qin Chen to take the storage ring so unceremoniously and to leave immediately. His expression changed, and he hurriedly said, "Wait!"
Qin Chen stopped and turned back, puzzled, and asked, "What's wrong? Do you have something else to discuss?"
Huang Yun chuckled and said, "My friends, allow me to introduce myself. I am Huang Yun, and these are some scattered cultivator friends I previously recruited. I believe you are all aware of the actions of the major forces. I won't beat around the bush. I see that you all have remarkable skills and are also scattered cultivators.
Now, the situation in this secret realm is unknown and may be fraught with danger. Therefore, I propose that we join forces to explore the secret realm together. No matter which of the major forces we encounter, at least we will have some self-defense capability."
"Well, that might not be a good idea."
Qin Chen hesitated for a moment, frowning as he replied, "When we find treasures, how do we divide them?
After all, the treasures here are certainly extraordinary. It's not that we don't trust you, it's just that we are unwilling to take this risk. Let's put the idea of joining forces aside for now."
Seeing that Qin Chen refused and was about to leave, a cold glint flashed in Huang Yun's eyes, but he quickly returned to calmness and smiled, "You are thinking too much. Since I made this proposal, I naturally wouldn't do something foolish like hoarding the treasures for myself. How about this: since you don’t trust us, I will show my sincerity first."
As he spoke, a storage space suddenly appeared in Huang Yun's hand, which he directly tossed to Qin Chen.
What is this?
Qin Chen's consciousness penetrated into the storage space and surprisingly found five mid-grade Holy Veins within. In addition, there were several top-quality pills, which were incredibly powerful, nearing the quality of upper-grade Holy Master pills, containing endless Holy Master Laws. Although they were not as good as the Heavenly Dao Divine Pill, they were not far off, and were indeed top-tier pills.
"In order to show my sincerity, here are five mid-grade Holy Veins and several Zhan Shi Sacred Pills. I will give them to you first. If I dare to gobble up the treasures alone later, consider these items as compensation. Of course, I would never dare to do that; this is just to help you trust me, how about it?"
Huang Yun looked intently at Qin Chen and the others.
You Qianxue was stunned; this was the first time she had seen someone take out treasures so casually just to gain trust. How generous was this?
Qin Chen laughed directly, "Since you are so sincere, if we refuse to join forces, it would be disrespectful. In that case, I will speak on behalf of the three of us and agree."
"That's wonderful."
Huang Yun immediately showed a joyful expression, "With the three of you joining, our team has grown stronger this time."
He paused and said, "In that case, let us set off now. I possess a certain ability that allows me to track others' auras and follow their trails. Those major forces entered first, thinking they could shake us off, but I can follow them based on their auras."
Huang Yun laughed.
"Oh? You have such a divine ability?"
Qin Chen smiled and said, "Then what are we waiting for?"
At that moment, under Huang Yun's lead, Qin Chen and his group soared into the sky, heading deep into the secret realm.
"Chen, this Huang Yun is a bit strange; he definitely has issues."
While flying, You Qianxue frowned and transmitted her thoughts. Dao Wang Mu Zhi Feng also looked over.
