The voice came abruptly, kept very low.
It sounded like a thief, carrying a nervous guilt characteristic of someone up to no good.
He looked toward the source of the sound and found a faint firelight peeking out from behind a massive stalactite in a corner of the lava cave.
Someone is here?
Su Ji raised an eyebrow and concealed his aura, simultaneously suppressing the scorching dragon might exuding from his new spear.
Like the Windsong Sword, the divine artifact obscured its own brilliance.
Alright, from now on, this spear will be called the Fallen Dragon Spear.
Su Ji was too lazy to think of a better name anyway.
He was just about to leave.
But then he noticed that the surrounding environment looked somewhat unfamiliar.
It looked like the underground of the Dragon Lock Abyss, yet somewhat different.
Hmm?
Could such a huge change happen in just over four months?
Subsequently, Su Ji silently circled behind that massive stalactite.
Since there was someone here, he might as well ask for directions.
As he drew closer.
The scene before him made Su Ji pause slightly.
A young girl, looking no older than seventeen or eighteen, was squatting with her back to him next to a small campfire.
Several wet garments were hung over the fire, including two inner armors, one black and one white, which were being licked by the flames and emitting wisps of steam.
The girl clearly had not noticed his arrival. She reached out a slender hand, carefully took down the dried white inner armor, and shook off the dust.
She slowly slipped the inner armor on, her slender arms reaching behind her neck, just about to tie the strings.
Her movements suddenly paused. She looked down at the faintly visible black lotus pattern on the skin of her chest, her eyes staring blankly.
Su Ji's appearance did not stir up even the slightest breeze.
Until he spoke.
"Who are they?"
The girl's body stiffened violently, and the half-tied string slipped from her fingertips.
Like a frightened deer, she spun around with lightning speed. A gleaming short dagger had somehow appeared in her hand, and she stared at Su Ji with a face full of vigilance.
When she clearly saw Su Ji's harmless face and his extremely ordinary outer sect disciple uniform, the wariness on her face faded slightly.
Replacing it was extreme shame and indignation.
"You?!"
An uncontrollable blush spread all the way from behind her fair ears to her cheeks.
"How did you get over here?"
"Didn't I set up a concealment array?"
Su Ji looked at the touching blush on the girl's face and was also taken aback.
The young girl before him had eyebrows like distant mountains, eyes like autumn water, a delicate nose, and cherry lips. Under the glow of the firelight, her skin was as lustrous as jade, beautiful beyond words.
Especially her current ashamed and angry demeanor, which added a bit of breathtaking charm.
A concealment array?
Only then did Su Ji belatedly spread out his divine sense.
Upon looking, he realized that there were indeed some extremely faint array fluctuations lingering around him. However, the array had long been shattered to pieces, looking like a spiderweb crushed by a giant beast, completely ruined.
As for his own cultivation base...
Su Ji looked inward. The glazed Dao foundation in his dantian was somewhat turbulent from having forcefully taken a spear strike from Hui Xing.
But the lake formed by the gathering of spiritual energy was more than ten times larger than before.
He had unknowingly reached the great circle of the Foundation Establishment realm.
He instantly understood.
In Hui Xing's space, he had borrowed the other party's power for a long time and fought a true immemorial fierce beast for over four months.
His horizons, his control over spiritual energy, and his comprehension of momentum had long been forcibly elevated to an unimaginable level.
So much so that when he walked out of the passage, he hadn't even noticed this concealment array, which seemed ridiculously crude to him.
Just like a person walking on the road wouldn't care if they stepped on an ant blocking their path.
Until someone told him.
Oh?
So I stepped on an ant?
Only by turning around and looking carefully could he realize that such a thing had happened.
"Ahem."
Su Ji coughed dryly, averted his gaze, and tried hard to make himself look a bit more upright.
Seeing that he didn't speak, the girl opposite him assumed he was silently admitting to peeping, and the blush on her face deepened.
She quickly threw on her outer robe to cover her exposed skin, then glared fiercely at Su Ji.
"Have you seen enough!"
Su Ji spread his hands, looking entirely innocent.
"You misunderstand, miss. I just came from over there and heard someone talking, so I came over to take a look."
As he spoke, he even made a show of looking around.
"How strange, I clearly heard a voice just now..."
The girl was momentarily stunned by his words, but then she reacted.
She was so angry that her chest heaved, and she gripped the short dagger in her hand even tighter.
"You!"
"Do you take me for a fool?!"
However, Su Ji acted as if he didn't see her murderous expression. He walked over on his own, squatted by the campfire, and reached out his hands to warm them.
"Sigh, I just went into secluded cultivation for half a year. How did this damn place change so much? How do I get out?"
He complained while sizing up the girl from the corner of his eye.
"Are you here alone, miss? You've got quite the nerve."
The girl was rendered speechless by his overly familiar, rogue-like behavior. She just couldn't understand how a Foundation Establishment cultivator with seemingly mediocre cultivation dared to act so brazenly in front of her.
She took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.
This was the Phoenix Roost Gorge, fraught with danger. It was better to have one more friend than one more enemy.
Moreover, for the other party to be able to break her array without anyone noticing, his strength was definitely not as simple as it appeared on the surface.
"My name is Lin Ranyue. I am a disciple of the Five Immortals Holy Land."
The girl reported her name with a cold face, hoping the reputation of the Holy Land would deter the other party.
"Who might you be, fellow Daoist? Why have you appeared in this place?"
Su Ji spoke.
"Lovesick Sect, Su Ji."
He, Su Ji, had always been like this.
He never changed his name or hid his identity.
He mostly disdained doing things like giving a fake name out of fear of later retaliation.
Hearing the words Lovesick Sect, Lin Ranyue frowned slightly: "Are you really from the Lovesick Sect?"
Without a word, Su Ji pretended to reach into his robes, and then pulled out a handful of red beans from his storage ring.
"Want some?"
How should he put it regarding this stuff.
Su Jiu had placed three large vats of it inside the storage ring.
It did have the effect of assisting cultivation.
But the effect was extremely limited.
It was roughly similar to spiritual rice, generally eaten by Qi Condensation disciples, capable of increasing cultivation speed by twenty to thirty percent.
It could be considered a rather iconic item of the Lovesick Sect.
Lin Ranyue glanced at the red beans in Su Ji's hand.
Then, the displeasure in her eyes mostly vanished.
So it's a eunuch from the Lovesick Sect.
In that case, let him look.
Lin Ranyue asked tentatively, "Did Fellow Daoist Su come here for the Dragon Blood Stone too?"
"Dragon Blood Stone?"
Su Ji put on a surprised expression.
This wasn't an act.
Could it have been knocked out by him?
That wasn't the point. The point was that Su Ji directly stated his purpose: "I'm just lost. How do I get out of here now?"
Lin Ranyue: "..."
She felt like she was about to suffer internal injuries from being angered by this guy who didn't have a single word of truth in his mouth.
Just as she was preparing to expose Su Ji's clumsy lie.
