The Rich Cultivator

Tyler looked at the ten sound transmission charms in his hand with a mischievous glint in his eyes. A fleeting thought crossed his mind, and he smirked.

"Let’s just call it ’Labyrinth Communication Charms’ from now on," Tyler murmured to himself, giving the charms a quick, approving nod. He took one and was about to send a message to Lily, but paused.

A thought occurred to him. **Lily’s too clever to be wandering around aimlessly.** She would definitely be using her Phantom Mask to blend in and move swiftly through this labyrinth.

Instead of directly calling her by name, Tyler decided to be more discreet. He switched to his Phantom Blackwood voice, his tone deep and commanding, a persona Lily would immediately recognize.

"Darling? Are you there?" Tyler said with a smirk, imagining her reaction. "It seems like I’m inside a shrine near a desert. I’m heading towards the center. Meet me there."

Satisfied with the message, he closed his eyes and thought about Temptress Blackwood. The charm vanished from his hand, off to deliver his voice to Lily.

Tyler wasn’t entirely sure if it had worked, but the system seemed simple enough. A sudden idea hit him, and his eyes lit up with amusement.

He grabbed another charm and said, "Potato Tomato," just to test something. He thought about himself this time, sending the message to his own location. Sure enough, the charm disappeared. Moments later, it reappeared, and he heard his own voice echo back at him, "Potato Tomato."

Tyler laughed at the absurdity of it. "So that’s how it works," he muttered. He rolled his eyes at the fact that he had addressed Lily as "darling" in the first message, when he could have just used a more straightforward approach.
