Wang Chen turned to Su Chen and asked, "Will your grandfather be joining us on our journey to the secret realm?"
Su Chen confirmed, "Yes, both faction leaders will be leading their respective groups, and those who haven't joined a faction yet will be under the guidance of the Guardian Elder. And my grandfather, being the true leader of our faction, needs to be there to guide us and ensure that everything goes smoothly."
Wang Chen nodded in understanding, "I see. That makes sense then."
As Su Chen and Wang Chen approached the wooden cabin, they could feel a serene and calming atmosphere around them. The air was thick with spiritual energy, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard in the distance.
"Wow, this place is so peaceful," Wang Chen remarked.
"Yes, it's one of my favourite places to come and meditate," Su Chen replied. "Let's go inside and see my grandfather."
Su Chen knocked on the door, and a frail voice from inside said, "Yes, come in."
Su Chen opened the door, and they both stepped inside. The cabin was small but cozy, with a few pieces of furniture and some books scattered around.
"How are you, Grandpa?" Su Chen greeted the old man respectfully, bowing down and cupping his fist.
"I'm fine, my boy. What could happen to me?" the old man responded with a smile.
Wang Chen also greeted the old man politely, "Meet the second elder."
The old man looked at Wang Chen and nodded his head in acknowledgement. "Is this the young man you were telling me about earlier?" he asked Su Chen.
"Yes, Grandpa," Su Chen replied. "His name is Wang Chen, and he has outstanding cultivation talent. Not long ago, he defeated Yue Mingluan and was also the one who informed me about Xue Feng's betrayal."
The old man looked at Wang Chen closely and said, "It's rare for my grandson to speak highly of someone. You must be quite skilled. Please, have a seat."
Wang Chen humbly responded, "It's nothing, senior. Brother Su was just being too generous with his praise."
'System show me the status of this old man.' Wang Chen said in his mind.

"Villain's family is really wealthy," Wang Chen commented as he gazed at the treasures displayed in Su Zhong's collection.
"His cultivation realm has dropped? And even with the drop, he is still at the 4th stage of the Golden Core Realm!" Wang Chen was astounded upon seeing Su Zhong's cultivation base.
He had heard that the Sect Master of the Red Lotus Sect, the top sect in the entire Wukang Kingdom, was only at the 3rd stage of the Golden Core Realm. Yet, before him stood an expert whose cultivation base far surpassed even after his cultivation base had dropped. Wang Chen wondered what Su Zhong's cultivation base would have been at its peak.
"The background of Su Chen is not as simple as it seems. I will investigate further upon our return from the secret realm," Wang Chen pondered to himself.
…..
"I will kill him!" The old man roared, shattering the cup in his hand and knocking over the table.
"No, it would destroy all of our long-term preparations if you kill him now," Yue Jang pleaded.
"But he made my grandson suffer. How can I sit still and do nothing?" The old man replied, casting a harsh glance at Yue Mingluan, who remained silent with his head down.
After returning from the platform, Yue Jang explained Yue Mingluan's problem to his grandfather and blamed Wang Chen for it, as he himself did not know how Yue Mingluan became eunuch and suspected that Wang Chen may have caused it by destroying his little dragon in their battle.
"Take this," the old man said as he handed an object to Yue Mingluan, "and kill that Wang Chen in the secret realm."
"I will get my revenge," Yue Mingluan replied with a cold tone as he took the object and stored it in his storage bag.
"Alas! I will also look for a medicine that can help you become a man again," the old man said with pity.
Finding a medicine that can turn an eunuch into a man is almost impossible to find in a place like the Wukang Kingdom, and it's not certain that it can be found in the Canglian Dynasty either.
"Master, do you have any solution?" Yue Jang asked Yideng.
"Hmm, it's possible, but it's quite difficult to find a treasure or a miracle medicine that can heal Yue Mingluan's little dragon," Yideng said confidently.
"How can you be so confident about something like that? Have you tried to find it before?" Yue Mingluan asked.
"Wh-why would I waste my time searching for such useless stuff? In my prime, I was a dragon, and many girls were fans of mine. Some clan leaders even tried to build a relationship with me by offering their daughters' hand in marriage. But I only cared about cultivating and becoming invincible," Yideng said proudly.
But the truth was far from his words. Yideng was just as lustful as his disciple Yue Jang, and one day he set his sights on a beautiful maiden.
When she was alone, he tried to force himself on her, but someone caught him in the act and called for help.
The maiden's master arrived and punished Yideng by turning him into a eunuch.
From that day on, Yideng focused solely on cultivation and searched for a treasure or magical herb that could restore his manhood, but he never found such a thing in his entire life.
