Lin Chen turned around and saw a thin middle-aged man smiling and staring at him.
"Form a team? With whom?"
The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Secret Realm exploration is very dangerous. While it's liberating to be on your own, not having to share the spoils with anyone, the hazards faced are also greater. You not only have to face the dangers within the Secret Realm, but also deal with the plunder and slaughter by other cultivators. If a group of like-minded people can team up for mutual exploration, it would be easier to reap good rewards and protect each other."
"Perhaps a group moving together, sharing the harvest, could be slightly less efficient. But in terms of safety, it's much higher. Besides, there are some opportunities which can't be seized relying on one person's power alone. One can only watch it slip away."
