To write an article, one needed inspiration and soul!
His current soul was the soul of his previous life. If he were to write, he was afraid that what he would write would be the charm of a web novel, which was completely incompatible with the values of this world. Therefore, if he were to write an article that was in line with the knowledge of this world, there might be no problem with the structure of the words, wording, and tone, but it would lack something that could be expressed in words.
Even a mere essay would be a difficult task for the current him. It might take him several years to truly understand this world, and only then would he be able to write something that barely had a soul.
He did not have years of time to boast in front of his mother for three months. His character was that of a poor loser who cared about his reputation!
This was the first problem that this lazy soul of his encountered in this world that needed to be solved urgently.
With his character and style, if he could not walk the right path, then he could only walk the wrong path!
A few days later, the Seven Heroes held a welcoming dinner for Lou Xiaoyi at Chao Feng Brothel. It was very lively because of the scene.
Their group was far from being considered evil in Pu City, let alone the local underworld forces. They were just a group of rich kids who were unrestrained and willful when they were young.
During the dinner, Li San Lang came unexpectedly, which made Lou Xiaoyi very suspicious of his purpose.
As the son of the richest man, there was no need for him to fawn so much in front of an outdated aristocrat. However, he did not say anything. Qi Er and his group did not have any grudges or friendship with Li San, but under Li San's influence, the atmosphere was obviously more harmonious.
As expected, Li San performed his ridiculous flame ability in front of everyone again. To others, it was just a novelty, but to Qi Er and his group, it was a kindred spirit, so the atmosphere was even more lively.
As they drank to their heart's content, Qi Er said mysteriously, "Brothers, I know a place to go. It's a Secret Palace that might contain spiritual items. It's not far from Pu City. How about it? Are you interested in going with me to explore it?"
Wang Tiezhu, Fatty Qian, and the others immediately responded. They were in a state where they could neither go up nor down. There was no way for them to go up, but they were unwilling to go down. They were very conflicted. If they did not progress after this period of time, they would lose their confidence and probably end up like Li San, turning their abilities into a little trick to make friends with others.
But the Secret Palace was an opportunity!
The most popular legend in the history of cultivation in the Kingdom of the Evernight was that if one obtained a treasure from the Secret Palace, he or she would be reborn and become an immortal. It was very tempting for half-baked cultivators like them who had nowhere else to go. It was a good opportunity to test their luck.
Ordinary people like them, who had not really integrated into cultivation, had not fully understood the importance of resources in cultivation and the nature of life and death. Therefore, they would still share the news with their friends, which was inconceivable among real cultivators. If there was a Secret Mansion, of course, they had to explore it by themselves. How could they find a group of friends to rush in together? Who would be the one to claim the opportunity? It wasn't like they were going on a field trip.
Lou Xiaoyi and Li San were the only two people in the group who did not think much of it. Li San was an experienced person, so he knew that these were all ephemeral and illusory things. On the other hand, Lou Xiaoyi was more rational than impulsive. How could a group of ordinary people obtain such a great opportunity through the inheritance of the Secret Palace? This kind of thing was written in biographies to deceive people. It was better to listen to it and not to take it seriously.
However, both of them were sophisticated people and knew that this was not the time to pour cold water on them. Therefore, they just smiled and waited for Qi Er and his gang to make up their minds. They only needed to agree and treat it as an outing, which would not take much time.
Qi Er was mysterious and refused to say the specific location. He only said that it was within half a day's journey on horseback outside Pu City. It seemed that he still had the basic vigilance of a cultivator. However, the reason why Qi Er was the leader of the Seven Heroes was that he had a generous temperament. This could be seen from his willingness to share the jade tablet with his brothers.
In the end, while they were drunk, everyone agreed to set off the day after tomorrow. They agreed on a time and place to meet up and then they left.
Lou Xiaoyi slept. When he turned around and thought about the agreement at the House of Morning Flower, he felt that something was wrong. After thinking about it, he finally realized that the agreement at that time was empty and did not involve anything practical!
Empty did not mean that everyone would go back on their words. In this world, at this age, if you did not attend to the agreement, you would be criticized behind your back! Therefore, no one would find excuses to avoid it.
However, the problem was that they did not talk about the preparation work for the exploration at all!
They were not real cultivators and did not have the ability to travel high and low. They also did not have treasures like the Space Storage Bag. Everything had to be carried by people and horses but no one mentioned what they needed to prepare!
As a soul from his previous life, he had never eaten pork but he had seen pigs run. He had never experienced donkey trekking. However, with the development of information, he roughly knew what was going on. Was an exploration a leisurely walk in the spring?
With his limited knowledge, at the very least, he needed to prepare a lot of necessary things like tents, ropes, raincoats, fire seeds, various tools, self-defense weapons, water, food and other complicated things. Qi Er and his gang did not mention a single word about these!
Were they very experienced? Not necessarily!
From the time they were drinking and chatting, they knew that this exploration would be their first time in their lives, including Li San Lang!
Most of them treated this treasure hunt as a relaxing trip that was similar to an outing. This was due to the fact that they lived like princes. On the other hand, it was because biographies and rumors often described the fruitful results but did not mention the dangers involved. Most importantly, the public security around Pu City was very good, and it was rare to hear about the existence of bandits and robbers.
However, Lou Xiaoyi did not think so. He was not worried about the appearance of strong people. Pu City was indeed very good in this aspect. Moreover, it seemed that other than him, the others in their group were all cultivators.
He was worried about the so-called secret residence. If it was fake, then it did not matter. At most, they would have made a wasted trip. However, if it was real, how could it not have all kinds of traps and prohibitions?
Even the tombs of wealthy families had all kinds of measures to prevent tomb robbers. How could the secret residence of a cultivator not have any? It was unimaginable!
However, it was obviously too late to inform them. Moreover, with these fellows' temperaments, they might not listen to him. In Pu City, they were a group of people that no one dared to offend. They were arrogant and looked down on everyone.
If he had the time to waste his breath, he might as well prepare some for himself. He did not look for Ping 'an or the other servants in the residence because looking for them would mean telling the Old Madame.
He looked for the shopkeeper of a grocery store and gave him some advice. The shopkeeper immediately understood. After being in this business for so many years, he knew what this young master wanted to do. It was nothing more than having nothing better to do and wanting to go out to find some excitement. To him, this was nothing new.
After some bustling, he gathered some goods from other stores. Lou Xiaoyi checked them one by one and found that not only were the quality good, the variety of goods prepared was more abundant than he expected. Of course, the price was not low either.
He did not bring these things back to the residence. Instead, he left them in the grocery store and would come back to pick them up the next morning. Otherwise, he would not be able to hide this large pile of goods from his mother's informant, Ping 'an's pair of poisonous eyes!
