"What's there to be surprised about?"

The next day, when You Li led the group out from the city, Han Yu was still staring off into the distance.

"Is this how wild your so-called seeking opportunities is?"

Han Yu murmured to himself.

Just then, a hurried group of Other Shore Realm cultivators passed by. Having cultivators wasn't surprising, but a group of cultivators carrying hoes was quite ridiculous.

Was it farmers who became enlightened, or cultivators tending the fields?

You Li, however, was not surprised at all. If she didn't need Blood Ganoderma, she might have been one of those carrying a hoe, searching everywhere.

If only Dragon Blood Stones grew like Blood Ganoderma outside.

You Li sighed slightly. At least Reishi mushrooms, regardless of what kind of blood they absorb, have to grow outside.

Dragon Blood Stones, however, are different. The essence might condense directly on the surface and turn into stone, or gather underground and solidify, or even seep into rocks and condense after being spilt on them.

So, trying to find such a thing in this vast state prefecture is like searching for a needle in a haystack.

That's why it's called seeking opportunities, meaning you have to rely entirely on luck.

——

"What I never lack in this life is luck."

Huangfu Liang stood on the city wall, thumping his chest loudly.

Ou Mingdong looked at him half-doubtfully, according to their agreement last night, he entered the city alone and only came to find him at dawn.

The two chatted for a while on the city wall, then Huangfu Liang thought of pulling Ou Mingdong into the team.

That's why there was this scene of chest-thumping.

"Brother Huangfu, how long have you been here?"

Ou Mingdong raised his eyes curiously and asked.

Huangfu Liang looked calm as he hung the wine gourd back at his waist, slung the broadsword he used as a bed plank during the night over his back, and said slowly.

"I haven't been here long, just half a year!"

Half a year? Just?

Ou Mingdong's eyes turned weird; he suddenly didn't know how to respond.

And yet he dared to say his luck is good?

"Brother Ou, you're thinking about it wrong. As long as I haven't given up for a day, whether there's an opportunity or not is still unknown. If you give up, that's when you truly lose the opportunity. People who can persist absolutely don't have bad luck."

Huangfu Liang seemed to guess Ou Mingdong's thoughts as he spoke hoarsely.

After speaking, he glanced at Ou Mingdong's expression secretly, his heart pounding.

He had been here for almost half a year, and not to mention Dragon Blood Stones, he hadn't seen anyone find even Blood Ganoderma yet.

He was almost at his wit's end.

So he thought about trying the method of those junior cultivators.

Don't look down on the junior cultivators coming in and out of Qingzhou City, though their realm isn't that high, they have a system for doing things.

Originally dull and tedious object-seeking has been turned into a plan by them.

Because Huangfu Liang didn't have the airs of someone in the Divine Gaze Realm, he mingled with them for a while and knew them well.

According to them, finding something in this cursed place is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's definitely useless relying on strength, you have to rely on mysticism.

So if you observe carefully, newly arrived junior cultivators all act alone at first.

After ten days or so, these cultivators start forming alliances.

After another ten days, the group scatters again.

There's some quite reasonable mystical logic involved in this.

If you've been struggling alone for ten days and achieved nothing, it's definitely your own problem. You have to recognize you're an unlucky soul.

If your luck isn't working, then find someone possibly luckier, pair up, and even split the Blood Ganoderma fifty-fifty if found!

If working in a team doesn't help, it must mean they're all unlucky people, better to retreat early.

Actually, which cultivator here isn't blindly holding onto fantasies of Blood Ganoderma and Dragon Blood Stones?

Han Yu is one.

Ou Mingdong probably counts as one too.

These two, one was misled by Yi Xian's information to come seeking.

The other was acting against the wind, wanting to guard Tianning Prefecture when even his own sect leader was suffering losses from the Mo Family, sent to endure hardship for a few days.

Before leaving, Ye Hei had done all the preparations for him, not even hoping he would find Blood Ganoderma.

So Ou Mingdong had no expectations for Dragon Blood Stones.

Pairing up was fine, not knowing how long he'd stay here, having someone to talk to would at least make the days more bearable.

The two immediately struck a chord, and Huangfu Liang was secretly delighted.

——

He said he came to help, but Han Yu didn't know how to start.

Watching You Li walk ahead alone, her True Essence fluctuating, rippling out under her feet like waves, Han Yu was amazed and couldn't help but ask.

"What are you doing?"

You Li maintained the rippling under her feet, smiled back, and explained.

"This is the Seeking Object Technique, thinning the True Essence to a certain extent and radiating it outwards. Originally, it's a secret technique from my sect for seeking spirit medicine. I'm just trying to see if it'll work for seeking Dragon Blood Stones, since they're both spiritual objects; it might be effective."

Ugh!

Han Yu was a bit embarrassed. He had promised to help, but he had no such skills!

You Li seemed to see his thoughts, giggled, and said.

"No worries, just staying behind me is helping!"

"I've been here for a while without any results, probably because my luck's off. I asked you to join to borrow your luck."

So when she suggested gambling on luck before, she actually meant relying on luck, not asking for help!

Han Yu's expression turned strange upon hearing this, while laughter echoed in his Sea of Consciousness.

Glass was rolling in laughter inside his Sea of Consciousness, clutching his head, laughing as if hearing the biggest joke.

"She's borrowing your luck... I'm dying of laughter, she wants to borrow your luck."

Damn, what's so funny about it.

Han Yu secretly turned his head, not letting You Li see his instant darkened face.

Glass laughed almost breathlessly.

"With your unlucky streak, as long as she dares to stick with you, she might never find a Dragon Blood Stone in her life."

No... it couldn't be that bad, right?

But thinking of his experiences, his heart couldn't help but pound in doubt.

If that really happened, wouldn't he be doing her a huge disservice?

"Well... If it's about luck, I advise against taking me along."

Han Yu was extremely embarrassed and called out to the person ahead.

When You Li turned back again, he explained with a helpless smile.

"My luck is terribly bad; if you want to borrow luck, it might end up being in vain."

"How bad can it be?"

You Li, seeing he wasn't joking, couldn't help but ask.

Han Yu thought for a moment, then began to speak slowly, "Does being inexplicably targeted by a Realm of Transcendence expert, who might always want to kill me, count?"

Hiss!

You Li inhaled sharply.

That kind of luck rivals that of Yi Xian.

At that moment, she gave him a wry look, her thick eyebrows making it appear comical.

"Why didn't you say earlier! I've been searching so far."
