Lin Qingluo communicated telepathically, strolling through the market with his friends: "Once you've experienced the bustling atmosphere of the market, you'll be motivated to practice diligently and strive to pass the triennial entrance examination to cultivate in the Immortal Palace."
"Yes."
The friends' spirits lifted, and they all agreed in unison.
Lin Qingluo nodded in satisfaction: "Mu Fan, Jinhua has reached the Golden Core stage and is eligible for the entrance exam. It's time for them to refine their Life-bound Magic Weapon. Let's go around the market and find some suitable materials for crafting."
"Alright."
Their eyes lit up, full of excitement.
