Severin smiled and extended his hand toward Heidi. "You flatter me, Miss Heidi. Your team's overall strength is much greater than mine, and we're of the same attainment level too. It would be more accurate to say tha we will have to look out for each other during this expedition."

Heidi chuckled upon hearing that. "You're being too modest! I firmly believe that your combat ability far exceeds mine despite our similar attainment levels. I also have faith that you, as an alchemist, will make a breakthrough to level one royal saint."

Severin did not anticipate her to be such a smooth talker. She grinned and replied, "Don't worry. We're all from the same sect, so it's only natural for us to look out for one another in there. Let's all have each other's back and remain vigilant."

Heidi then produced a flying sword. She enlarged it and hopped on with her team before ascending into the air. Meanwhile, Severin took out his flying sword and got on with 1,200 of his team members. "This will be my first time entering the Paradise Secret Realm. You should know the way even though you've never been there, so I'll just follow your lead," Severin said with a smile. He still had no clue where

the realm was located.

Heidi chuckled. "You were so busy refining pills that you didn't have the time to find out more about the realm. Luckily, it's very straightforward. We're heading the right way, so we only need to keep flying forward. It's still early, and there's still about a week until the realm opens. Given our current pace, we can probably reach our destination in four days."

Heidi then paused before adding politely, "But as a precaution, we'll have to forgo the luxury of

accommodation and sleep on the mountaintops these next few nights."

Sheila frowned when she heard that and questioned, "Why? I'm pretty sure the sect can afford lodging. Or

is it because our group is too large and there might not be enough rooms available if we're too late to a

hotel inside the city."

Heidi smiled as she explained, "There are multiple reasons, and these are all based on our experience. Firstly, as you mentioned, we are a large group, and finding accommodation will be very challenging. Staying separately makes it difficult to manage the entire group and streamline our departure the next day."

After a brief pause, Heidi continued, "Secondly, we might attract unwanted attention because we're traveling in a large group. There's a chance we might run into rogues or bandits along the way, as we did before. They don't pose any real threat to us, but they might feel compelled to engage us in a fight. The previous thousand-strong team had their numbers slashed by several hundred, and it was too late for the

realm with lesser numbers."

Severin expressed his surprise. "I didn't think those rogues would be bold enough to challenge our sect's people to a fight. Aren't they afraid of first-tier sects like ours?"

Heidi smiled and replied, "We don't usually face such situations because we're first-tier sects, but some second-tier sects that have Paradise Secret Realm tokens may be ambushed during their journey. The realm contains many highly-coveted spiritual herbs and sought-after treasures."

Sheila's eyes sparkled upon hearing the word 'treasure'. "Hehe, could you tell us more about the spiritual herbs inside the Paradise Secret Realm? I wonder what could be so attractive to those people that they wouldn't even think twice about going on such a perilous journey.

Severin and Diane shared a laugh when they saw Sheila's money-grubbing attitude.
