"No, that's not what I meant," Han Shun denied. "I'm just asking you, what is the requirement until I can live with my Bai Gege again?"
"Ah, that one is simple, kid," Baishe smiled mysteriously. "You will be stuck here with me indefinitely until you obtain your golden core."
"Golden… core?" Han Shun asked. It was the first time he had heard that term. After he swallowed the marble from that mysterious black-golden robe man, he thought he would be very strong.
But it seemed that he was far from that.
"Yes, I know that Master Bai is trying to bring you to the immortal realm, right?"
Han Shun nodded as an answer.
"Well, to do that safely, a human must finish the core formation to obtain their golden core. Or else, there will be a 50% chance that the Forest of Lost Mist will eat you up. That happens many times, and Master Bai probably doesn't want to risk it."
