Cultivation System: Stronger with Age

A continuous mountain range appeared before him. At the foot of the nearest peak stood a giant, rippling arch, already surrounded by many Martial Cultivators. These were, naturally, the Fourth and Fifth Layer Martial Cultivators preparing to enter the Ba Mountain Secret Realm in search of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects!

Lin Xuankong took one glance before immediately slipping into a dense forest by the roadside. Moments later, when he emerged, his appearance had completely changed: black hair, sword-like brows, starry eyes, and quite handsome. His face now bore a slight resemblance to Yanzu from the movies and television shows of his previous life! Touching his face, altered by rearranging muscles and bones, Lin Xuankong's lips curled into a faint smile. He then headed towards the rippling arch.

Around the rippling arch, many Martial Cultivators were greeting each other, planning to form teams. Some had already formed groups; holding hands and stimulating their Qi Blood, they stepped into the transparent ripples. The ripples shimmered slightly, and these Martial Cultivators simultaneously vanished from where they stood.

Lin Xuankong watched for a few moments and was about to head towards the rippling arch alone when a Martial Cultivator beside him called out, "Brother, you must be here to search for Heavy Water Spiritual Objects in the Ba Mountain Secret Realm. Why not form a team and enter together? It's good to have someone to rely on in the dangerous Secret Realm!"

Lin Xuankong turned to look, seeing over a dozen Martial Cultivators standing together. The one leading them was a stranger with a Golden Forehead Scale Sword hanging from his waist.

Lin Xuankong took a closer look, his eyes narrowing slightly. He had now cultivated his Disguise Technique to eight points of proficiency and could easily tell that this Martial Cultivator was disguised. His Golden Forehead Scale Sword was also dyed. The methods used were crude; both the facial disguise and the sword exhibited numerous flaws. Others might not have noticed, but Lin Xuankong saw through it instantly!

But this voice is so familiar... Lin Xuankong mused, a thoughtful look in his eyes. This voice... it sounds like Yan Yunfei from the Seven Swords Sect! And the one next to him... that must be Yuan Butong!

The disguised Yan Yunfei and Yuan Butong were also carefully scrutinizing the handsome Lin Xuankong at this moment.

Yan Yunfei said in a low voice, "Brother, we have a map that shows the locations of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects, but those places are extremely difficult to reach alone. If you're planning to find the Heavy Water Spiritual Objects quickly, why not team up with us? When we reach the potential locations of the Heavy Water Spiritual Objects, we can eliminate the Corpse Scorpions guarding them together, and everyone will get a share of the Heavy Water Spiritual Objects!"

Lin Xuankong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing this. The locations of Heavy Water Spiritual Objects? Yan Yunfei actually has such information!

I came to the Ba Mountain Secret Realm specifically for Heavy Water Spiritual Objects. If I can find them sooner, that would be excellent!

With this in mind, Lin Xuankong nodded slightly. "Teaming up is fine, but I'm only at the Fourth Layer."

Someone in the group chuckled. "Don't worry, most of us in this team are at the Fourth Layer. No one's going to look down on you!"

Yan Yunfei's sworn brother, Guan Zhong, then said, "Rest assured, Brother, I'm also at the Fourth Layer. How could I possibly look down on you? Fourth Layer strength is already quite formidable! Once you join our team and enter the Secret Realm, we'll all help each other out. Besides, my two sworn brothers here are at the Fifth Layer; they'll look out for you if an opportunity arises!"

Yan Yunfei and Yuan Butong exchanged a glance and both nodded.

Yan Yunfei said, "Don't worry. As long as we don't run into Late Stage Fifth Layer Corpse Scorpions, fighting together won't be a problem for us... Besides, if you join, Brother Yuan here and I will definitely lend a hand when we can!"

The disguised Yuan Butong nodded slightly, looking extremely confident.
