Mastering the Ten Thousand Spirits Transformation Array is akin to possessing innumerable mutated Spiritual Objects, and it's highly likely that only Li Zhirui would have them.

The Pills derived from this array can only be refined by him, and if he crafts an exceptionally effective Spiritual Object, one can imagine the colossal wealth that would follow.

Moreover, this isn't a short-lived sudden fortune, but a continuous, enduring wealth!

In his view, the value of this Formation far exceeds that of any Spirit Plant, and no further compensation is necessary.

"No way, one thing at a time; besides, you should have a share in this array and Restriction."

No matter what Li Zhirui said, Fu Chengguang firmly disagreed with this notion, insisting on finding a Spiritual Object to compensate him.

Unable to persuade him otherwise, Li Zhirui reluctantly changed the topic, "What do you think we should do next, Fellow Daoist?"

"There's still about a month before the Secret Realm closes, so we'd better seize the time to find more Spiritual Objects."

Although their gains were already substantial, it was a rare opportunity that seemed a pity to squander.

"Then let's take a casual look, but don't hold your hopes too high."

Li Zhirui's attitude was much calmer since he knew that there were barely any unclaimed Spiritual Objects left in the Secret Realm; most were already in the hands of Cultivators.

Afterwards, he recounted several major events that took place in the Secret Realm during their seclusion.

Firstly, the most critical event was the Spiritual Objects from the core Spirit Field, which were likely stolen by a group of loose Earth Immortals, inevitably leading to a major battle.

Secondly, Cultivators' fights over Spiritual Objects had become extremely fierce, with the flames of war spreading throughout the Secret Realm.

With their strength, they're certainly unafraid, but it would indeed bring some unnecessary trouble.

Hence, venturing out now might leave them embroiled in conflict rather than obtaining any Spiritual Objects!

"So many things happened in the Secret Realm during seclusion?" Fu Chengguang was somewhat surprised.

This information was only known to Li Zhirui because he had been influenced by several Cultivators he met days ago, and he had reacted similarly at the time.

"Still, it's worth taking a look outside. After all, there's nothing worth lingering over here, and eventually, we have to leave the Secret Realm by heading towards the portal."

"Let's follow your suggestion then."

With nothing much to pack, the two erased their own traces and left the valley directly.

As for the Cultivator at the entrance? They had already forgotten his existence.

The situation in the Secret Realm was exactly as Li Zhirui had described; it was ablaze with battles everywhere.

Less than two hours after leaving the valley, they encountered several battles.

Not intending to exploit the chaos, the two didn't approach the battlefields but merely glanced from afar before continuing on their way.

During this time, they also encountered quite a few restless Cultivators, but upon realizing the cultivation levels of Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang, these Cultivators restrained their petty thoughts.

They had the discernment to realize that regardless of the two being alone, they weren't to be trifled with.

Still, among the tens of thousands of Cultivators entering the Secret Realm, there were plenty of powerful beings, either Perfect Human Immortals or Earth Immortals.

Thus, a few days later, Li Zhirui and Fu Chengguang faced their first wave of Cultivators who dared to challenge them!

The group comprised a dozen Cultivators, including one Earth Immortal, three Perfect Human Immortals, and others with Human Immortal and Individual Immortal cultivation.

Judging solely by their cultivation, they did surpass the two, so noticing them alone, the group felt assured of their victory.

"Hand over your Storage Magical Treasures, and your lives will be spared! If not, this place will become your burial ground!" a Perfect Human Immortal, following orders, immediately stepped forward and arrogantly, boastfully claimed.

"With just a few of you, you think you can take us down? Dream on," Fu Chengguang scoffed, full of disdain.

Li Zhirui remained silent, but his indifferent attitude fueled even more anger.

"I'll give you a chance; come at me together. As long as you can injure me, I'll concede, but if you can't, just hand over your Storage Magical Treasures quietly; I won't take your lives."

"What boldness!"

"Utterly reckless!"

Such exceedingly arrogant words drew attack from most of the Cultivators against Fu Chengguang, while the Earth Immortal, perhaps keeping up appearances, did not participate but watched from the sidelines.

Li Zhirui watched the scene casually, confident in Fu Chengguang's strength, unconcerned that he would lose.

The offended Cultivators, feeling blatantly disregarded, ignited with fury and promptly unleashed their attacks.

Suddenly, an array of attacks roared toward Fu Chengguang, engulfing him entirely. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

"Just as useless as expected, all talk," they thought.

Believing survival under such an attack impossible, they anticipated collecting the Storage Magical Treasures once the assault subsided.

Then, their attention shifted to Li Zhirui, eyes brimming with undisguised greed, and shouted, "Your companion has met a grim fate, witnessed by your own eyes. If you want to live, act willingly and hand over all Spiritual Objects."
