Chapter 213: Out of Seclusion

“Don’t worry too much.” Zhen Yuan said, rubbing his wife’s hair.

“I don’t want to worry but I must worry.” The double started and quickly continued.

“Even if we don’t tell the secret, our bodies are full of vitality. We must find a way to hide the secrets in our body.”

“We still have one month before we have to leave the cultivation cave. I will find a way within that time.” Zhen Yuan said.

“Thanks for your hard work.”

After that, the two left the space and reappeared in the hidden garden.

Unexpectedly, all the peach trees had disappeared and only a paved path was left behind.

“Let’s go.” Zhen Yuan said, holding his wife’s hand.

A moment later, the two followed the paved path and soon left the hidden space.

However, they didn’t appear in the peach trees’ garden.

Instead, they appeared at a remote place outside Taoshu village.

’Is there a spirit in that hidden space?’ Shen Xu wondered.

After all, the arrangement was so considerate.

If he and Zhen Yuan reappeared in the Peach Trees’ Garden, they would surely be entangled by curious and greedy people.

“Xiaoxu, hold on tight. I am going to activate the formation disk.”

“Good.” The double said.

A moment later, the scenery around them changed and they appeared in the cultivation cave in Formation Tower City.

“One month is a little less than a year. I should be able to think of something before our time runs out.”

“I will help you.”

At first, Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu went to the space library.

However, they soon realised it was faster to research in the simulation room.

After all, the simulation room had a query function.

As long as they searched for a pill, talisman, weapon, formation, or inscription that could hide physique or vitality, they would be able to achieve their objectives much faster than manually researching in the library.

Their idea was not wrong.

Soon after settling in the research room, Shen Xu found a pill that could hide vitality.

Unfortunately, the pill was a level nine elixir.

Not only did he not have the spirit grasses to refine it but his soul power was not enough.

As for weapons, Shen Xu did find a weapon that could hide physique and vitality.

Most importantly, the weapon was a lot more effective ad durable than the pill.

However, getting the weapon was even more difficult than the pill.

First, the weapon was a growth-type weapon from ancient times.

Second, the simulation room didn’t have a refining method for the weapon so Shen Xu couldn’t even try.

’I didn’t expect the simulation room also has some gaps in knowledge.’ He thought.

However, he wasn’t too surprised.

After all, his Chaos Flame Space was mainly towards alchemy.

As for other arts, they were just by the way and not as comprehensive as alchemy.

Even the space library was biased towards alchemy.

Shen Xu left the simulation bed soon after.

Looking to the other side, he saw Zhen Yuan was still working so he didn’t disturb and immediately went to the library.

Zhen Yuan didn’t leave the simulation room until three months later.

“Brother Yuan.” Shen Xu called as soon as he saw the person.

Hearing the call, Zhen Yuan smiled and headed towards the person.

“Did you find anything useful?” He asked and Shen Xu nodded but soon shook his head.

“I found useful information but it’s not something we can do at out level. What about you?”

“I found a level seven talisman that is barely useful. However, my talisman level was not at level seven so I had to spend a lot of time studying the talisman.”

“Have you become a level seven talisman master?” Shen Xu asked in an excited voice.

However, Zhen Yuan shook his head in denial.

“I am still a level six talisman master.” He said and quickly continued.

“I only know how to draw that specific level seven talisman.”

“It doesn’t matter. You will become a level seven talisman master sooner rather than later.”

“Thank you for your good words.” Zhen Yuan chuckled.

“What does ’barely useful’ mean?”

“The talisman can only deceive level seven cultivators and below. We have to think of another solution before we go to the Tianxuan continent.”

“We are only at the spirit transformation realm and can’t think of the Tianxuan continent for several thousand years. Let’s take our time.”

“Good.” Zhen Yuan didn’t argue.

Afterwards, Zhen Yuan drew twenty talismans and each took ten.

From his understanding of the talisman, each could last ten years.

With ten talismans, he and Shen Xu would be able to hide for one hundred years.

However, Zhen Yuan wasn’t satisfied with the current situation.

If possible, he would find a better solution so that he and Shen Xu would be more at ease.

“It’s almost time for the lease to end.” Shen Xu said.

“Shall we leave ahead of time?”

“We only have four days left. It’s not strange to come out at this time.”

“Okay.”

The two left the Chaos Flame Space after that.

After making sure there was nothing wrong with their rented cave, they opened the door and came face to face with a servant of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.

“The two seniors have come out of seclusion.” The servant stated and bowed to the two.

“Is there something wrong? Why are you waiting here?” Shen Xu asked.

“Alchemist Yuan is mistaken.”

“Mistaken?”

“I was just on my way back from escorting a guest when I saw the two seniors come out.”

“Is that so?” Shen Xu sneered but didn’t make things difficult for the person.

After all, the young man was just a servant and his cultivation was only in the late stage of the golden core realm.

What could he do if he was ordered to stand there and wait for the two people?

“Lead us back.” Zhen Yuan said.

“Yes, formation master Xu.”

After that, the servant led the way and the three left the cultivation caves area.

In no time, they arrived in the main building of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.

“Do the two seniors want to see Manager Li?” The servant asked and Shen Xu raised his lips in a cunning smile.

’Why should brother Yuan and I take the initiative to see Manager Li? Since the person wants to see us, let him come to us.’ He thought.

“My taoist partner and I have been in retreat for one hundred years and haven’t rested for a long time. We will visit manager Li another day.”

The servant was flabbergasted.

As Shen Xu and Zhen Yuan guessed, the servant did not just happen upon them, he had been waiting for them as early as one year ago.

However, manager Li had given him clear instructions.

According to the instructions, he was to guide the two to see manager Li but he couldn’t take the initiative to invite them.

This way, the initiative would remain with the Myriad Treasures Pavillion in the ensuing negotiations.

Unfortunately, Formation Master Xu and Alchemist Yuan didn’t act according to common sense.

’Don’t they know they are in trouble?’ The servant wondered.

’The city lord’s daughter had no choice but to resort to the body freezing pill because the heart freezing pills they provided were not enough for one hundred years. Most importantly, the Tan family has been looking for spirit grasses but two types can only be found in the Yunshan secret realm. Isn’t this a trap to force the city lord to give them a quota to the Yunshan secret realm? There is also the Guan family…’

The servant narrowed his eyes as he thought about things.

“Formation master Xu, Alchemist Yuan, the Tan and Guan families have been looking for you.” He said in a meaningful voice.

However, who were Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu?

Even without hearing it, they already knew what the Myriad Treasures Pavillion were planning.

’They probably want us to seek refuge in the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.’ Shen Xu thought.

This was indeed the case.

After knowing the ins and outs of the couple’s interactions with the Tan and Guan families, Manager Li figured that the two would seek refuge in another faction.

This belief was enforced when the two avoided the cultivation caves of the prominent families in the Formation Tower City and chose a cave operated by the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.

He was sure Formation Master Xu and Alchemist Yuan would seek refuge in his Myriad Treasures Pavillion.

After all, the Myriad Treasures Pavillion was a force that neither the Tan nor Guan families dared to offend.

Knowing this, Manager Li became complacent and prepared to drive Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu for the prosperity of the Myriad Treasures Pavillion.

Unfortunately, he thought too well.

Although Zhen Yuan and Shen Xu knew they had offended people and enemies would be waiting for them to come out of seclusion, they were not afraid.

After all, if they couldn’t settle the situation, couldn’t they run away?

How was it possible to join the Myriad Treasures Pavilion for the sake of superfluous safety?
