This two-story golden pagoda was Li Yuan's little wooden hut.
Not long ago, with the help of the cultivation pills that Xiao Huo gave him, Li Yuan was able to break through the Qi Condensing Realm.
When he broke through, the little wooden hut was upgraded, turning into this golden pagoda.
The pagoda had two floors, with a huge entrance on one of its sides and a wooden sign hanging on top of it.
If the previous wooden hut made Li Yuan look like a beggar, then the current pagoda would make Li Yuan look like a nouveau riche.
Although it still didn't fit his current persona, it was still an improvement over the wooden hut.
When Ruan Ling saw the sign's peculiarity, he became even more greedy and walked a bit faster.
Suddenly, the door of the pagoda opened and a young man walked out of it.
The young man walked slowly out of the pagoda, raised his head, and looked at the sun in the sky.
When he saw this, Ruan Ling ran his technique, lowering his presence, and held his breath.
He sized Li Yuan up and when he saw that he was only in the Qi Condensing Realm, he beamed with joy.
'To be able to survive in the Dark Mirror Forest despite having such a low cultivation base means that this pagoda is surely a very powerful treasure.'
Ruan Ling thought and was delighted.
As for the fact that the pagoda seemed to be owned by Li Yuan?
Ruan Ling didn't care.
In his opinion, such a treasure could only show its true value in his own hands.
However, he didn't take action directly but acted somewhat cautiously.
After he stopped running the technique, he flew towards Li Yuan and appeared in front of him.
"Fellow Taoist, are you the owner of this pagoda?", he asked and cupped his hands.
When he heard this question, Li Yuan turned his eyes away from the sun and looked at him.
In fact, Li Yuan had already noticed his existence long ago.
It's just that as the Pavilion Owner of Heaven's Secret Pavilion, it would be strange to greet every single visitor personally.
"This pagoda is indeed mine."
Li Yuan put his hands behind his back and nodded calmly.
At the same time, he didn't forget to cast the Identification Technique.
[Name: Ruan Ling]
[Cultivation Realm: Foundation Building Realm - Late Stage]
[Current Situation: He is a disciple of the Holy Devil Sect. Ten minutes ago, he obtained an incomplete Holy Weapon. He is currently considering whether to rob you...]

"Little friend, I see that your destiny is extraordinary."
"Since you happened to meet me, I'll give you a chance."
Li Yuan said and pointed his finger towards Ruan Ling's head.
Before Ruan Ling could react, information about the Heaven's Secret Pavilion appeared in his mind.
When he went over the information, his first thought was that this young man was mocking him.
As someone in the Foundation Building Realm, when had he ever been provoked by a little Qi Condensing cultivator?
In anger, he took out the red arrow he had just picked up, wanting to test its power.
Even though he didn't have a bow, the arrow could still be used as a spear due to its extraordinary strength.
Just when he sneered and was about to stab Li Yuan to death, he found that he lost control over his body.
No matter how hard he tried, he could no longer move.
"Since little friend is willing to trade this weapon for information, I can only accept it."
Li Yuan stepped forward and calmly took the red arrow out of Ruan Ling's hands.
Ruan Ling wanted to resist but he couldn't even more his fingers.
Li Yuan held the red arrow in his hands and cast the Identification Technique.
Just from its aura, he was already sure that this was the incomplete Holy Weapon that this man previously obtained, but he wanted to see whether he could find further information.
[Name: Blood Saint's Arrow.]
[Rank: Incomplete Holy Weapon(Can currently show the strength of a high-level Divine Weapon)]
[Information: An arrow that used to belong to a Saint Realm evil cultivator. When used together with the Blood Saint's Bow, it is equivalent to a Holy Weapon.]
[Can be exchanged for 2 Million HS Points.]
Sure enough, this arrow was an incomplete Holy Weapon.
Moreover, there was also a matching bow that would increase its strength when they were paired together.
Li Yuan didn't immediately exchange it for HS Points, but put it away for now.
Then, he turned his attention to the still frozen Ruan Ling.
He considered killing him, but then he remembered that he was currently playing the role of a hidden expert.
If you want other people to believe your lies, you first have to lie to yourself.
As a hidden expert, he couldn't just steal other people's things.
'System, deduce an opportunity suitable for him.'
[There are currently 1022 opportunities that meet the requirements.]
[Origin Energy. Price: 5 Billion HS Points.]
[...]
As always, Li Yuan was ready to scroll to the bottom, when he saw something interesting halfway through.
[Essence Sucking Spider. Price: 100.000 HS Points.]
He smiled slightly and immediately bought it.
[Essence Sucking Spider.]
[A Level 3 Monster that likes to have intercourse with human males. After the intercourse, even though the male's cultivation will be improved, he will also end up pregnant.]
[Location:...]
[Safe Path:...]
Li Yuan spent some HS Points to materialize the map and put it gently into Ruan Ling's hands.
Then, he thought of something and took Ruan Ling's space ring off his finger.
"Little friend, I'll safe keep your things for you and wait until you come back."
"Don't miss this opportunity. It will surely change your entire life."
Li Yuan patted him on the shoulder and then lifted the seal that prevented Ruan Ling from moving.
The moment Ruan Ling found that he could move again, he didn't care about his belongings and instantly urged his Qi with all his strength, wanting to run away.
He didn't think that he could put up a fight against the young man in front of him. Only by escaping could he save his life.
Li Yuan didn't stop him but stared at his disappearing figure.
"Don't blame me. If you want to blame someone, blame yourself for coveting my treasure."
But then, Li Yuan remembered something.
When he asked the system, he specifically asked for opportunities that were suitable for Ruan Ling.
"So, he may actually like it?", he thought secretly.
"Sure enough, no matter what world you are in, there will always be some perverts."
Suppressing these thoughts, Li Yuan turned his attention to the other change that happened to the system after he broke through the Qi Condensing Realm.
