Shang Ruifeng was completely unaware of the ambiguous atmosphere between the two of them. After taking a sip of tea, he continued, “To be honest, I want to use this talisman for Xiyue’s self-defense. The rules of this battle have changed. After Xiyue decided to participate, I tried to dissuade him to no avail, so I decided to come to Pharmacist Li to ask for some talismans so that Xiyue could protect himself in the secret realm.”
“Young Master Shang really works hard for his younger brother,” Li Tianyan said, but did not immediately agree to the other party.
“I hope Pharmacist Li is not offended about what happened last time. Xiyue was separated from his family when he was young and was deceived by a man back home. Since then, he has been extremely sensitive to the eyes of strange men, which is why he has that kind of misunderstanding,” Shang Ruifeng said with a slight apology on his face.
After confirming that Li Tianyan was a cultivator, Shang Ruifeng knew that he must have heard what his brother said when he was in the teahouse with his keen senses.
“This Li was also abrupt,” Li Tianyan waved his hand to let him not worry about it. He had long been concerned about this matter.
Shang Ruifeng saw his reaction and knew that Li Tianyan no longer cared about it, so he said with confidence, “If Pharmacist Li is willing to sell me a few talismans, I can give you the map of the Yunpeng Secret Realm.”
The Li family in Jincheng was also participating in the battle for the aristocratic family, Shang Ruifeng thought that the Li family should let Li Tianyan participate, and maybe he would be interested in the map of the secret realm.
“Young Master Shang is willing to give it up. Aren’t you afraid that I will steal your place in the winner list?” Li Tianyan paused when he heard Shang Ruifeng’s words and stirred the tea in his cup.

“With Pharmacist Li’s ability, it shouldn’t be difficult to win first place even without a map. I’m just doing a favor,” Shang Ruifeng said with a straightforward smile.
“Yes,” Li Tianyan thought for a while and agreed to Shang Ruifeng. Originally, he only planned to sell the talisman to Guan Haoran and did not want to sell it on a large scale, but it was still okay to trade a few with Shang Ruifeng.
“Thank you so much, Pharmacist Li,” Shang Ruifeng immediately thanked him happily after hearing the answer.
“Young Master Shang, you don’t have to be so polite,” Li Tianyan replied and pretended to be puzzled, “I wonder why all the aristocratic families decided to bet the mineral veins in a battle this time.”
Shang Ruifeng heard Li Tianyan ask and shared it, “Actually, Yuncheng holds a competition between the children of aristocratic families every few years. Some people have already proposed to change this competition into a secret trial. After the mineral veins appeared, many families could not think of a suitable solution for a while. The Hou family took advantage of the opportunity and proposed a battle for between the aristocratic families.”
Sure enough, Shang Ruifeng knew more about Yuncheng’s affairs than Guan Haoran. Li Tianyan asked curiously, “I heard that the Hou family is also guarded by powerful ancestor. Are you familiar with the Hou family? What is the strength of the Hou family’s martial arts?”
Seeing that Li Tianyan was actually interested in the Hou family, Shang Ruifeng only shook his head, “In the past, the Shang family and the Hou family were family friends, but later they fell out due to some things. The family no longer communicates with each other. The ancestor of the Hou family is very old and has not appeared in front of people for two years. Many people speculate that the ancestor of the Hou family may have passed away long ago, but no news has been released. As for whether it is true, at present, only the Hou family knows.”
Li Tianyan was shocked when he heard that the Hou family was in this situation. When he was in Tianyun Continent, some old guys from powerful family or sect would often do many crazy things to prolong their lives when they reached their end.
The two chatted casually for a few more words before Li Tianyan took out the talismans and exchanged them with Shang Ruifeng. Seeing that he had been chatting with him for so long, Li Tianyan was not stingy and took out twenty of the highest-grade talismans at once to give him.
When he heard that Li Tianyan’s talisman could actually launch the attack of an innate warrior, Shang Ruifeng finally couldn’t maintain his calm demeanor. If the talisman drawn by Li Tianyan could achieve such power, then his own cultivation level was at least above the fourth level of Qi Condensation. If he remembered correctly, Li Tianyan was only sixteen this year.
Thinking of this, Shang Ruifeng couldn’t help but shake his head and smile bitterly. Compared with Li Tianyan, these so-called favored young masters were not worth mentioning at all.
.
After sending Shang Ruifeng away, Li Tianyan studied the map he had and made a copy for Cheng Qi. The map in his hand was probably drawn by Shang Ruifeng himself. It looked a bit shoddy, with many places not complete, and a few dangerous places were only hastily marked. But at least it gave Li Tianyan a general understanding of the secret realm.
After that day, Li Tianyan hung a sign at the entrance of the courtyard saying “Closed for preparations.” He began to prepare the things he needed to go to the secret realm. Naturally, Li Tianyan also prepared a lot of talismans for Cheng Qi, and he also carved two pieces for personal protection. The jade was worn on the body, and there were the spirit beast card and ghost slave on the left and right of his waist, and Cheng Qi’s whole body was armed to the teeth.
Li Tianyan said he wanted to let Cheng Qi practice alone, but he was more nervous than anyone else. In the past, when Li Tianyan was alone in his old sect, he often laughed at others for looking too closely at their direct disciples. Now it was his turn to finally experience this feeling.
Unlike them hiding at home peacefully to prepare for a trip, Li Tianzhou’s life without any news from Li Tianyan could be described as tormenting. He went to the small courtyard where Li Tianyan lived several times, but found that the door of the courtyard was always silent no matter how he knocked. There was no sound.
In the end, Li Tianzhou could only ask the Li family to bring two more cousins with fifth level of acquired warrior. He was prepared to let the two of them go in to make up the number if Li Tianyan didn’t show up. Although the strength of the two was low, the opportunity was right in front of them, which was better than nothing.
A few days passed quickly.
On this day, many warriors gathered at the entrance to the secret realm in the Endless Forest. Each family sent high-level innate warriors to escort the younger generations participating in the battle. For a time, the surroundings were filled with extremely powerful people, and the pressure from their aura made many warriors with lower strength felt quite breathless.
