Shen Xiaoli heard his story which felt too absurd and fake. But she didn't force him to reveal the truth upon seeing that he didn't want to tell her.
"Sister Xiaoli, tell me about this secret realm." Shi Tian asked curiously.
"I don't have much information about this secret realm. According to the rumors, this secret realm belongs to a peerless expert from ancient times. He left behind his legacy in this secret realm, but nobody has found it yet. I have been wandering in the secret realm for many days, and I haven't even found a clue. I started to feel that it is just fake rumors, there is no legacy at all." Shen Xiaoli sighed.
"There are treasures in this secret realm that couldn't be found in the outside world. Like this Ice Lily Flower, this is at least ten thousand years old spiritual herb." Shen Xiaoli said as she took out a blue ice flower to show it to Shi Tian.
Shi Tian sensed a strong ice aura from the flower, at least sixth or seventh rank spiritual herbs. It was especially helpful to the ice element cultivators like Shen Xiaoli herself.
Shi Tian pondered for a moment and said, "So what should we do now? Should we search for the exit, or should we search for the legendary legacy?"
"Exit. Finding the exit should be our top priority. There are many dangers in this secret realm. We have to find the exit as soon as possible." Shen Xiaoli said seriously.
"Understand." Shi Tian nodded.
"Sister Xiaoli, are you able to walk now?" Shi Tian asked.
"Yes, but we can't go out now. The night in this secret realm is many times terrifying. We have to wait it till next morning." Shen Xiaoli said as she looked outside the cave.
"Huh, why is that?" Shi Tian asked curiously.
"The temperature at night dropped very low, even cultivators couldn't withstand the cold. And with my current condition, I don't think I can withstand it." Shen Xiaoli spoke slowly, her expression couldn't help but fall. She was really weak right now.
Although the pills healed her wounds, her condition was not optimal right now. In the desperate fight against the wolves, she burned her blood essence, which couldn't be replenished easily, takes some time.
"Oh!" Shi Tian nodded in recognition. After that, he came to the entrance of the cave and took out a few talismans, placing them on the entrance of the cave.
"What are you doing?" Shen Xiaoli asked curiously.
"I am blocking the cave entrance. These talismans will hide the cave as well as our presence. And even if some monsters discovered the cave, they wouldn't be able to enter the cave." Shi Tian said as he arranged the talismans.
"Where did you get these many talismans?" Shen Xiaoli asked curiously.
"Obtained by chance, there are many more, so Sister Xiaoli, you can rest with a free mind. I can protect you." Shi Tian smiled and said. Of course, these talismans were all obtained from the system.
Shen Xiaoli couldn't help but feel a little strange when she heard his words. He has grown up and become strong. After the incident, Shi Tian transformed. His mindset has become mature, his talent has seemed awakened and enhanced.
In just less than two months, his cultivation rose by many realms, almost surpassing hers.
Next, Shi Tian and Shen Xiaoli sat down and started chatting. Shen Xiaoli shared her adventure story with him.
"Sister Xiaoli, you should take a rest. How about getting some sleep?" Shi Tian noticed signs of fatigue on her face and said. She was mentally exhausted after continuous battles with the monsters in this secret realm.
"No, it's alright." Shen Xiaoli, however, shook her head and said.
"No, sister Xiaoli, you should get some sleep." Shi Tian insisted. He cleaned the ground, took out a mattress along with a warm quilt from a storage ring, and placed it on the ground.
"Here, lie down on it and get some good sleep." Shi Tian said with a smile and continued, "These things have been lying in my storage ring for a long time, and finally came in handy today."
Under the persuasion of Shi Tian, Shen Xiaoli finally lay down on the mattress. The mattress was big enough, and both of them could lie down on it.
Time passed slowly... As the darkness approached, Shi Tian noticed the temperature started dropping rapidly.
Shi Tian was at this moment gazing out at the ice world from the entrance of the cave.
The night in this secret realm of snow was indeed very cold. The temperature was so low that while breathing in air, one could feel an ice-cold feeling inside the throat and lungs. But Shi Tian was still wearing thin clothes, as he used his internal force to protect himself.
For him, if internal spiritual energy was unable to resist, then wearing more clothing was also futile.
"Tian'er, you should also get some sleep as well. There is enough space here, we can both sleep on it." Seeing it was already nighttime, she gave a suggestion.
After experiencing many days in this secret realm, she knew the usefulness of rest and sleep. It was not easy to encounter such a safe place regularly in this secret realm.
Shi Tian wanted to tell that the coldness of this secret realm couldn't affect him, as his physical body was much stronger than hers. Furthermore, he possesses the Chaos Flame, which prevents coldness from penetrating his body.
However, he held back. After all, it was a very good opportunity to build a relationship with her. Her usual personality was cold and distant, but right now, her cold personality was reduced significantly and became approachable.
Shi Tian nodded as he came and lay down on one side of the mattress. There was a small gap between him and Shen Xiaoli.
