it was much better than her own pigeon coop at home. She originally wanted to move in using the excuse of taking care of the college entrance exam student, but the live-in nanny from Shanghai, Aunt P...Mo Shangchen listened to Lian Xiye's words, but he didn't get angry. He just smiled bitterly and said:

"I am indeed the son of the City Lord's Mansion, but I am not the only heir. I have an older brother and sister above me, and a younger sister below. The four of us are not from the same mother, so we have to fight for everything we want."

Although Mo Shangchen's words were veiled, everyone present understood. Things weren't peaceful within the City Lord's Mansion; under the facade of a united family, there were likely hidden conflicts brewing.

"Don't laugh at me, but since I entered Qianji Gate, I gained some status within the mansion. However, to obtain more cultivation resources, besides the sect's supply and the fixed portion allocated by the mansion, I have to rely on myself."

The other day, on my way back to town, I stumbled upon a map to a cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator. So I thought, when I get back, I'll find someone to team up with and explore it together.

Currently, no one in my family knows about this. I've been deliberately keeping it hidden so that my siblings don't benefit unjustly.

Mo Shangchen finished speaking, a sarcastic smile playing at the corner of his lips.

"Friends from the mortal world, this cave abode of a Nascent Soul cultivator is surely fraught with danger. Our cultivation levels are insufficient to face such a threat."

The ripples spoke plainly.

"This matter is easy to handle. I see that all of you are already at the late stage of Jindan cultivation, and it's only a matter of time before you advance to the Yuan Ying stage. I can lend you the聚靈陣 in the City Lord's Mansion for use. It will help you advance to the Yuan Ying stage. In this way, when everyone explores the Cave Mansion of Transformation Gods, your chances of success will be greater."

Mo Shangchen said with a sigh.

Ripples' eyes twitched when she heard this, and she glanced sideways at Lian Xiye who seemed quite excited. As expected of the favored child, even after having her chance to advance to Yuan Ying in the short term cut off, someone had come specifically to offer her a helping hand.

When everyone was silent, Lian-Ri spoke.

"Friend on the road, don't say I have a villainous heart. You've helped us advance and explored the great power's cave mansion. Such good things couldn't possibly all fall to us at once, right Isn't this great power's cave mansion very dangerous"

As cultivators, we vie with heaven for longevity. However, we do not wish to succumb prematurely to greed nor become stepping stones for others.

The ripples of words fell like a basin of cold water on the four agitated hearts. They knew that Eileen was right, there's no such thing as kindness without reason. Besides, they and Mo Shangchen only had a one-sided acquaintance, it wouldn't make sense for someone else to be so generous towards them.

The ball kicked again to Mò Shangchen's feet, and he wasn't angry. At least it proved that the teammates he chose were smart, so that was better.

To be frank, when I first got that map to the formidable immortal's cave dwelling, I calculated it myself. If I had gone alone, there would have been no chance of survival. Only by finding the right companions could we seize this opportunity.

Yesterday, I met with a few people and calculated that you are the most suitable teammates. If we can work together, it will be a win-win situation for both parties.”

Mo Shangchen said half truthfully and half falsely.

After hearing this, Lian Xiye lowered his head and thought for a moment. He and Mo Shangchen had both been interested in that storage box before, but he had eventually exchanged it with the stall owner using something else. After going back to bind it with his blood, he discovered a sword manual in the hidden compartment of the storage box. These past two days, he's been studying this set of sword techniques, and if he masters them, his combat strength will definitely increase.

It seems that Mo Shangchen is also a person of great fate. If what the other party said is true, then there must be good things in this powerful cave abode. Otherwise, the other party would not be willing to take the risk or share the spoils with them. After weighing all factors, he felt that this cooperation was feasible.

After figuring things out, Lian Xiye spoke up that very night:

"Fellow traveler, I wonder if, should we collaborate, how the treasures within this grand cavern would be divided"

Others also looked at Mo Shangchen, they were very interested in this topic too, don't end up working hard to make wedding clothes for others.

"I only want the divine cultivator's natal magic weapon and his robe. I don't participate in the distribution of other things. See what you can find for yourselves."

Mo Shangchen said magnanimously.

Since he wanted to borrow the good fortune of these two people to enter the cave dwelling of a Nascent Soul cultivator, he would definitely make choices and wouldn't take all the good things for himself. His purpose was to befriend those with strong good fortune, which would be beneficial to him without any harm.

Several people looked at each other after hearing this, none of them spoke. Finally, it was Lian Yexi who said:

"Friend on the roadside, this matter requires us to discuss it among a few people. Would you be willing to give us some time to consider"

Of course, you all can stay at the City Lord's Mansion temporarily. You are my guests. No matter if you agree or not later, we will still be friends.

On the road, Mo Shang smiled and said.

Of course, thank you for your help, fellow traveler.

Even if the dust settles on Mo Shang, he won't force anyone. He lifted his hand and lifted the ban, just letting the steward arrange the five people in one courtyard to wait quietly for good news from them.

After entering the courtyard, the five people tacitly avoided returning to their respective residences and instead gathered together to discuss the matter.

What do you think

As the initiator of the squad, and also the one who took the initiative to befriend Mo Shang Chen, he spoke as soon as he sat down.

"I think it's worth a try."

The ripples gave an affirmative answer.

"Ida has decided to continue playing on our team."

Lian Xi laughed and said at night.

"Anyway, since I'm out here training, it doesn't really matter where I go. The best outcome is being able to secure more resources for myself."

However, opportunity and risk always go hand in hand. Our current cultivation level is insufficient. The most urgent task is to improve our cultivation so that we have a greater grasp. Even if Mo Shangchen has any schemes, we can handle them.

Anyway, I think spirit stones wouldn't just fall from the sky for no reason, and they wouldn't land on our heads so precisely. It's better to be cautious and consider all angles. After all, this involves fate as well, so everyone should think it over carefully before making a decision.

Ripples spread her hands.

Ye Qing glanced at Lian Yi, then tentatively asked:

"Is it that Idao doesn't fear being plotted against"

"That depends on whether he has the ability. I won't say that I can defeat him, but at least I have the means to escape. As long as I get back, I can naturally ask my elders for help."

Ripples tapped her nails idly, saying nonchalantly.

Four people exchanged furtive glances, becoming even more certain that Ripples was a young lady from a renowned cultivator family out on a training journey. That's why she was so confident.

"You guys discuss among yourselves first. I'm going back to cultivate. Whether you go or not, I'm planning to go with Mo Shangchen to explore that powerful being's cave dwelling."

After Ripples finished speaking, she left first.

Even in the evening, Lian Xi night was inclined to cooperate with Mo Shang Chen, so he also expressed his opinion, of course, he did not persuade the other three.

Du Yan and the other two also didn't want to miss this opportunity. Without knowing the outcome, the immediate benefit was using the City Lord's Mansion's gathering spirit array to advance to the Nascent Soul stage. Such a good thing, they certainly didn't want to miss it. They also expressed their willingness to go together. Thus, everyone agreed on the plan.

And while it seemed considerate, the ripples of leaving early have already driven Doudou to lurk in the courtyard all night long. No matter what, he can't be promoted to Yuan Ying.rrible. I'm afraid that under torture, she would betray us.""Irene explained,"This time, Instructor Chiang didn't say anything more. He just waved his hand, letting her get on with her work, and began...
