Chen Xuan and the group entered a heavily guarded pale yellow space, proceeding through a black stone palace to the Stone Cave's entrance at a natural chasm lined with tens of thousands of black-armored soldiers. They delivered the spirit stone boxes to a blue tent amid warnings and strict protocols. Liu Sheng arranged for Chen Xuan to slip into the Stone Cave during the imminent battle against the increasingly active Stone Race, while stationing himself nearby without intervening unless a breach occurs.

The two responded in unison.

Inside the tent.

Chen Xuan naturally sat down and, upon seeing the black armor placed on the table, understood it was prepared by Wu Guang for him.

Then, with a gentle hook of his finger, he carefully examined it.

"This armor is forged by Great Yu, and the array carved inside has extremely strong defensive power!"

At this time, Liu Sheng slowly began to explain to him.

The key point is that this armor is part of the array.

Wearing the armor, a thousand people can form a small composite array, and with the power of the Guard Army, it's not a problem to oppose the Dao Realm.

If it's ten thousand people, even a high-level Dao Realm is not a match.

This was originally transformed by the Star Hall Master.

The reason Emperor Yu respects the Hall Master so much is not just because of his power, but more because he has made significant contributions to Great Yu.

"Hmm, the array inside is indeed very ingenious!"

After carefully inspecting, Chen Xuan agreed, nodding his head; with his array expertise, he could naturally discern it.

"Later, Wu Guang will likely bring you into his camp. During the battle, take the opportunity to sneak into the Stone Cave."

"I'll be waiting here."

"If you face a life-threatening situation, immediately activate the copper coins given to you."

"But it's best not to exceed three months!"

Though Emperor Yu agreed to his retreat, he understood that this was Emperor Yu showing him respect, yet he was clear about where the boundary lay.

If the time is too long, Emperor Yu will be displeased.

Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between them as monarch and minister.

"Three months, huh?"

Chen Xuan murmured, this time frame is quite challenging to manage.

After all, entering here, without the arrangement by Zhan Tian and Liu Sheng, he wouldn't have the slightest chance.

Layer upon layer of barriers, whether it be the outermost city or the massive archway, or finally the black hall, he has carefully sensed them, all completely isolated by arrays.

Even if he mastered the Rule of Space, he couldn't enter.

But since Liu Sheng had already spoken, he couldn't refuse, yet he held back, saying, "The young lad will try his best!"

Liu Sheng observed his cautious thought, but didn't mind.

Three months were what he told Chen Xuan.

He knew this young man never followed rules strictly, which is why he intentionally said a shorter time.

Three days later, Wu Guang brought a man wearing a black armor into the room.

"Chief Eunuch, this is my son. Please assume his form."

"My son will stay here for some time. What do you think?"

Even with his confidant Wu Guang, he wasn't at ease about such matters. If word got out, Duke Qin would severely punish him, so he chose his son.

"Wu Jin greets Chief Eunuch!"

Then he respectfully bowed to Liu Sheng.

A gleam of light flashed in Liu Sheng's eyes, and he slightly nodded, "This child is not bad, no less than you!"

"Let him stay here for this period, I'll mentor him well, consider it a thank you."

"Chief Eunuch, your words make me apprehensive. I'm not worthy of gratitude; back then, you saved me from Hidden Kill and arranged for me here afterward."

"Wu Guang has never forgotten this kindness!"

His current status is largely thanks to Liu Sheng; without him, he would've long been dead.

努力也毫无意义.

"Hehe!"

A smile appeared on Liu Sheng's face; his judgment was always sharp.

Then he looked at Wu Jin, "If you want to leave the Stone Cave, I can place you in the Ritual Department!"

"This...."

Wu Jin hesitated, then looked at Wu Guang.

"Make your own choice; if you like life here, stay. If you want to go out, the Ritual Department is indeed good, with Chief Eunuch there, it'll only be better, not worse!"

Wu Guang spoke slowly.

Wu Jin is his only son, and his talents are not lacking, so he actually hoped more for him to go out.

After all, it's too dangerous here.

Even with his son, he can only extend slight care.

But for him to go out alone, he felt...somewhat reluctant, though staying means he might inherit his position in the future.

"Child will consider it."

"No worries, consider this my promise to you. Whenever you decide, just send a message to the Ritual Department."

After all, with Wu Guang taking such risks for him, even if he once saved him, the compensation is still necessary.

And he doesn't like owing favors, especially to his juniors.

"Thank you, Chief Eunuch!"

Wu Jin kneeled on one knee, achieving such a promise and personal mentorship by the Chief Eunuch was the greatest honor of his life.

"Rise!"

Then looked at Chen Xuan, "Follow Wu Guang."

"Yes!"

Then turned to Wu Jin, "Brother Wu, may I borrow a drop...two drops of blood essence?"

"Blood essence?"

Wu Jin looked puzzled.

"Yes, it'll be useful."

"Sure!"

He straightforwardly condensed two drops of blood essence and handed them to Chen Xuan.

"Thank you!"

After accepting them, Chen Xuan took out a Tongming Fruit from his bosom and handed it over, "A small thing, you've just entered the Dao Realm, consuming it should yield some good effects."

The Tongming Fruit originally numbered five, he ate one, Lan Meng'Er ate one, then Ning Xin and Luan Ying, having exited seclusion first, each ate one.

The last one had been forgotten amidst his cultivation busyness.

Thus it was preserved until now.

Wu Guang aided him this time, though it was due to Liu Sheng's influence, gratitude is separate, he wanted to thank Wu Guang.

Though this fruit is precious, Celestial Spring Village will have some every year in the future.

So he considered it a favor and gifted it to Wu Jin.

"Oh?"

Liu Sheng uttered a soft sound of surprise, gazing at the Tongming Fruit, moments later, "Good stuff, take it!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Guang was startled.

If even Liu Sheng referred to it as good stuff, then it's definitely precious.

Then he thanked Chen Xuan, "Thanks, always feel free to ask if you need anything in the future."

Whether it's this Tongming Fruit or because of Liu Sheng, though he doesn't know his identity, he would certainly make good connections, no doubt about it.

"You're welcome, it's a small thing, not worth mentioning!"

"The specifics of any gains will also require some luck!"
