Acting, Xia Liu could be considered at the Divinity Transformation Stage in theatre.

Wang Yuan and the others had no doubts at all.

Because the Extreme Cold Secret Realm is the opportunity for Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

But only a few people know.

Foundation Establishment Cultivators want to gain opportunities here.

Without immense fortune and extraordinary strength, it's nearly impossible to achieve.

Xia Liu could walk alone to the middle of the Secret Realm without injury — his fortune truly terrifying.

"The path of cultivation is fraught with obstacles. Since you have the luck to meet us, then..."

Wang Yuan's hand behind his back increased strength.

Intending to kill Xia Liu.

Before he could act, the good-tempered Zhou Yu quickly transmitted a thought: "Daoist Fellow Wang, definitely do not!"

Hmm?

Since Zhou Yu was communicating through thought transmission, Wang Yuan also responded in the same way.

"Daoist Fellow Zhou, leaving him might lead to unexpected incidents."

"Daoist Fellow Wang, if we leave the Secret Realm to gather people, we might not find Thunderbolt Valley again."

"What plan does Daoist Fellow Zhou have?"

Wang Yuan also felt very helpless.

The Secret Realm has this issue; no matter what marker is made.

When returning, it's impossible to find the marked spot.

Thus, Wang Yuan didn't dare to leave easily.

They had been here for over a month.

Ultimately, close to collapse, Wang Yuan proposed to leave alone and invite strong people to attack the Spirit Beast.

"With the strength of the three of us, full output might kill the giant bear."

Zhou Yu conveyed calmly through thought.

"Oh? Daoist Fellow Zhou isn't joking? That giant bear might have strength comparable to Golden Pill Late Stage, plus it has already marked our aura. How would we kill it?"

Wang Yuan couldn't believe it.

In terms of strength, confronting the giant bear directly, the three of them had no chance.

Furthermore, the bear's physical body wasn't something an ordinary Golden Pill Late Stage cultivator could compare.

How could they possibly kill it?

"What if we have a target to attract it?"

Zhou Yu glanced at Xia Liu, the implication was very clear.

"If we have a target for the giant bear to focus on, the three of us can simultaneously launch an attack, and might severely injure it in one strike!"

Wang Yuan understood Zhou Yu's meaning.

Immediately, he felt excited.

Xia Liu was simply his benefactor!

Came at exactly the right time!

"Daoist Fellow Wang, let's keep emotions in check; I'll discuss the matter with Daoist Fellow Han."

Zhou Yu worried Wang Yuan might arouse Xia Liu's suspicion.

And then it would be difficult to persuade him to go attract the bear's attention.

After the reminder, Wang Yuan turned his back, avoiding looking at Xia Liu.

To prevent further emotional excitement.

Zhou Yu's suggestion quickly received a response from Han Luonan.

This method is feasible!

Then Han Luonan ceded authority to Zhou Yu.

His nature was fierce and vicious.

But he appeared very amiable on the surface.

His tone was also quite friendly.

With him as the spokesperson, Xia Liu would definitely find it hard to refuse.

After a period of silence.

Zhou Yu spoke to Xia Liu: "Young friend, since you happen to meet us, we must give you a piece of fortune no matter what!"

"Fortune!"

Xia Liu's spirit lifted.

But just for a moment.

To make Zhou Yu and the others believe he truly wanted this fortune.

"May I ask what fortune the seniors are talking about?"

"The three of us discovered a valley filled with thunder, in which rare Natural Treasures Group might grow. If you, young friend, assist us in entering the valley, we will let you choose two pieces of Spiritual Medicine first."

Zhou Yu offered conditions hard for ordinary cultivators to refuse.

However, since it was an act, Xia Liu naturally had to play his part.

Displaying the appearance a Foundation Establishment Cultivator should have.

"Seniors aren't joking, are they? If even with seniors' cultivation you can't enter the valley, how could a junior like me be of any help?"

"Young friend! One can eat recklessly, but not speak recklessly!"

Wang Yuan coldly proclaimed the demeanor of a strong cultivator.

"Daoist Fellow Wang, please don't be impatient. This young friend has a point; it's indeed true we cannot enter the valley."

"Seniors! Is it true?"

Xia Liu asked with feigned concern.

"Yes, before the valley lies a giant bear of uncertain species, but it possesses strength comparable to Golden Pill Late Stage cultivators..."

Zhou Yu explained the matter of the giant bear in detail.

And deliberately reminded Xia Liu that the giant bear doesn't aggressively attack.

Meaning, it only guards outside the valley, not allowing outsiders to enter, yet not easily harming them.

These reminders sounded absurd to Xia Liu.

But he didn't laugh.

Instead, he showed eagerness to act.

"Seniors aren't joking; that powerful Spirit Beast won't proactively harm people?"

"Rest assured, young friend. As long as your position is correct, I guarantee it won't harm a hair on your head."

Because when he and Wang Yuan along with Han Luonan join forces, everything around the bear.

Would likely be destroyed.

How could Xia Liu possibly escape?

They say he won't be hurt by the giant bear, but didn't mention not being killed by them!

"Young friend, don't hesitate too long; this is your opportunity, your fortune. If your fortune is good, you might find the chance for Core Formation after entering the valley!"

Han Luonan advised.

"Humph! I say, let's just tear this kid apart and then find another usable cultivator nearby. What can a Foundation Establishment Cultivator do?"

"Daoist Fellow Wang, what are you saying? Wasn't it from Foundation Establishment Stage that we started our journey?"

Zhou Yu continued: "Back then, I could achieve Core Formation with the help of a Foundation Establishment friend who later passed away due to illness. For years, I've been aiding Foundation Establishment Cultivators in advancing. Meeting this young friend today, I seem to see my old friend again, so I must offer this fortune to him!"

"A brilliant portrayal of the good cop and the bad cop!"

Xia Liu secretly praised.

His acting was decent.

But these three old fellows turned out to be even more skilled!

Had to admire them!

"Seniors, I'm willing to stand forth! But whether I can be of help, I dare not say."

Xia Liu expressed excitedly with clasped fists.

"Good! With your spirit, that's enough!"

"Daoist Fellow Wang, I've secured him; you have no objections, right?"

"Haha, I truly don't understand you. Helping these weak Foundation Establishment cultivators—what's the point? Yet you keep doing it."

"Daoist Fellow Wang, don't mock Daoist Fellow Zhou; everyone has one or two friends. For the sake of remembering a friend, aiding Foundation Establishment cultivators and providing them fortune is a great deed."

Han Luonan stepped in to affirm.

"Alright, enough, enough. Let it be clear first; after entering the valley, he can only choose two pieces of Natural Treasures Group!"

"Young friend, you have no objections, right?"

Zhou Yu looked at Xia Liu to ask.

"Absolutely no objections!"

"Good! Then it's settled, next I'll discuss your role with you."

Zhou Yu noticed the situation and immediately assigned tasks to Xia Liu.

Having reached this stage, Xia Liu would definitely have no doubts.

Mainly he attracted the attention of the giant bear.

Then the opportunity encountered would be secured as planned!
