In fact, the situation the masked man encountered was similar to most of the Cultivation novels that Feng Jun had read from the Earth Realm.
There were many expedition teams entering the Heavenly Curtain. After entering, they could either explore separately or form alliances.
The masked man was born into the Amber Zhao Family, but he had left for the Tianqin Main Plane at a very young age. This time, by chance, he returned home and learned that the Heavenly Curtain was about to open, but the Zhao Family had limited slots and couldn't offer one to someone like him who had branched out.
This Nascent Soul Cultivator wasn't too happy about it and decided to purchase a slot at a high price. However, upon entering, he certainly wouldn't team up with anyone and ended up gaining some rewards within the Heavenly Curtain.
At the entrance to a secret cave, he discovered a small barrier. Excitedly, he opened it and found a bottle of pills.
