Murong Haotian watched as many people changed their expressions. He said, "Therefore, the mortality rate is also very high for cultivators in the Xiantian or Zhuji realms. So, I don't want those with low cultivation to go. Of course, if you are not afraid of death, you can try. I won't stop you!"
"The reason I say this is naturally because I hope those who go in can be mentally prepared! Don't think that you can just grab treasures once you enter!"
Just then, someone asked, "Patriarch, in your opinion, what cultivation level is appropriate to enter?"
"Your cultivation should not be below the fifth level of Xiantian or Zhuji realm! Or you are over a hundred years old," Murong Haotian said. "If some people want to take a gamble, it's not impossible! Because the treasure trove contains quite a few pills of extraordinary quality, which might aid cultivation!"
Those over a hundred years old who had not yet broken through to the Golden Core realm would find it very difficult to break through later.
Although Xiantian cultivators could live for nearly three hundred years, very few could actually live that long. This was because each breakthrough left some hidden injuries on the body. Over time, these hidden injuries would accumulate, affecting their lifespan.
After a final count, nearly twenty people met the criteria. Of course, some who were adventuring outside were not included in this count, such as Murong Qiuyue's brother, Murong Qiushu.
"Father, I want to go and see too!" Murong Qiuyue bit her lip and said.
"Your cultivation is too low. Going in would be sending you to your death!" Murong Haotian refused directly.
"I can observe from outside the formation!" Murong Qiuyue pleaded.
"The competition for the treasure trove won't end in ten days or half a month. With this time, you might as well cultivate diligently at home!" Murong Haotian's attitude was firm.
His reasoning was naturally sound.
Murong Qiuyue pouted, thinking to herself, *Hmph, if you don't let me go, can't I just sneak there?*
Clearly, Murong Haotian had anticipated this. He snorted and said, "I've already spoken to your paternal aunt. She'll be guiding your cultivation during this period!"
"Huh?" Murong Qiuyue was immediately dumbfounded.
*Is this too much?*
She glared at her father indignantly, "Didn't you say you'd give me enough space after I broke through to the Zhuji realm?"
"I just see the gap between you and Feilong is too big! If you don't work hard now, won't you be left too far behind by Feilong later?" Murong Haotian said with a smile.
"..." This was truly an irrefutable excuse!
Murong Qiuyue really wanted to say that she and Yang Feilong were just pretend lovers, but now, if she said it, would her family berate her to death? You're deceiving outsiders, and now you're deceiving your own family too?
Besides, everyone already treated them as a couple and constantly praised her for her good taste. This made her somewhat confused, wondering if she should just let it be.
As for Yang Feilong having many girlfriends, her family knew. Although they might be somewhat disappointed, she wasn't sure if they would force the couple apart. While Yang Feilong was outstanding, it was common for outstanding men to have multiple wives, even in the secular world. In the Spirit Realm? It was even more so. Of course, there were also many who believed in a lifelong monogamous relationship.
Her family believed that with Murong Qiuyue's excellent qualities, finding someone devoted to her wouldn't be difficult!
Although she might not be as outstanding as Yang Feilong, she wouldn't be too far behind. Of course, finding someone both devoted and outstanding was as rare as a phoenix's feather.
"Uncle, when do we depart?" Yang Feilong, hearing Murong Haotian forbid Murong Qiuyue from accompanying him, couldn't help but want to laugh. Perhaps this separation would mark the end of their association.
Murong Qiuyue was excellent in all aspects, and Yang Feilong didn't come to the Spirit Realm for romance. His mother might still be suffering, and he didn't even know where she was. How could he have the leisure for romance?
"Prepare yourselves. We depart tomorrow morning!" Murong Haotian said with a smile, looking at Yang Feilong. "Say goodbye to Qiuyue, and also persuade her to cultivate diligently at home and not to think about joining the excitement. Wouldn't it be better to improve herself with that time?"
"Yes, Uncle."
......
Murong Qiuyue's residence.
"I'm so angry!" Murong Qiuyue complained.
"What's there to be angry about? If you don't go, you don't go. Didn't your father say the mortality rate inside is very high?" Yang Feilong said.
"I'm not going in!" Murong Qiuyue said indignantly.
"Don't you think, if you had insisted on going, and your father had agreed, then wouldn't everyone want to go and take a look? In that case, most people might go!" Yang Feilong chuckled. "Your father probably didn't want you to set that precedent!"
"That's right! Why didn't I think of that before!" Murong Qiuyue said with annoyance.
"By the way, what's your paternal aunt's cultivation level? Maybe she can take you there secretly?" Yang Feilong asked.
"My paternal aunt is forty-two years old. Her cultivation is not low, but not too high either. She's at the tenth level of the Zhuji realm!" Murong Qiuyue replied.
"Zhuji realm perfection? Isn't that she can break through to the Golden Core realm at any time?" Yang Feilong asked in surprise.
"That's what people say, but how can it be that easy to break through!" Murong Qiuyue said helplessly. "So many people have been stumped by the hurdle from Zhuji realm perfection to the Golden Core realm!"
"Why isn't your paternal aunt going to compete for the treasure?" Yang Feilong asked curiously.
"Why are you asking so much?" Murong Qiuyue looked at Yang Feilong suspiciously.
"Just curious!" Yang Feilong shrugged.
"My paternal aunt is another future Golden Core realm cultivator for the clan. How could she easily risk herself? Through normal cultivation, there's a high chance of breaking through to the Golden Core realm before the age of fifty, so there's no need to venture into the treasure trove with such a high mortality rate!" Murong Qiuyue snorted.
"Is that so?" Yang Feilong nodded.
"I'm telling you, don't get any ideas about my paternal aunt!" Murong Qiuyue said threateningly, as if she had thought of something.
"I haven't even met your paternal aunt, so what ideas could I have about her?" Yang Feilong looked at Murong Qiuyue speechlessly. "Besides, you're so beautiful and I'm indifferent, let alone your paternal aunt!"
"That's wise of you!" Murong Qiuyue nodded with satisfaction upon hearing Yang Feilong's words.
"Your paternal aunt is over forty, and not married yet?" Yang Feilong asked out of curiosity.
"Is forty years old considered very old?" Murong Qiuyue rolled her eyes. "My father also got married in his forties."
"This, alright!" Yang Feilong shrugged. He almost forgot this was the Spirit Realm. The higher the realm, the longer the lifespan, so there was no need to get married so early.
Just as they were talking, the courtyard gate opened, and a charming voice echoed, "Little Yueyue, accompanying your boyfriend here? Hee hee, has your paternal aunt disturbed your tender affections!"
"Paternal aunt! Why are you here!" Murong Qiuyue said helplessly as she looked at the person who arrived.
Yang Feilong turned around to look. Upon seeing the person, he was stunned, because what met his eyes was a girl who looked extremely young, young enough to be Murong Qiuyue's younger sister.
Murong Qiuyue's paternal aunt? Wasn't she over forty? How did she look like she was only sixteen or seventeen? No, not even sixteen or seventeen, because she looked too kawaii!
Well, in other words, she had a baby face.
