Chapter 110: Luo Yuebai’s Confusion
At this moment, Luo Yuebai’s spiritual awareness was greatly heightened.
He confirmed that the extremely light but real burnt smell that permeated the void was indeed the smell produced when refining the elixir.
His heart couldn’t help but feel a little excited.
The reason why he paid attention to Su Jingzhen in the beginning was simply because he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance in Peach Blossom Alley, right?
At that time, Luo Yuebai had already vaguely guessed that either Su Jingzhen or Shuang Jiang must be an alchemist.
And their level wouldn’t be too low.
Although later he became interested in Su Jingzhen for more than just this curiosity.
But now, undoubtedly, it gave him a chance to confirm his initial guess.
“This burnt smell, it seems to be produced only when alchemy fails. Could it be that Friend Su is trying to break through as a high-level alchemist? I wonder what level his skills have reached.”
As he muttered to himself, Luo Yuebai involuntarily walked towards Su Jingzhen’s courtyard.He went directly to the outside of the small courtyard where Su Jingzhen was refining the pill, and sat down in a pavilion in the courtyard.
He chose not to disturb.
After all, he had already given this courtyard to Su Jingzhen, and it would be somewhat impolite to intrude without the other’s consent.
This position outside the courtyard was undoubtedly just right.
And the burnt smell coming from there became even stronger.
However, just as Luo Yuebai had sat down, Su Jingzhen had already pushed the door and come out.
At this moment, there was neither joy nor sorrow on his face, and no emotions could be seen.
“Friend Su, are you refining a pill? I never expected Friend Su to be an alchemist.”
Seeing Su Jingzhen coming out, Luo Yuebai stood up directly with a folding fan in his hand and asked him so.
At this moment, Luo Yuebai was indeed somewhat excited. As soon as the words came out, he realized that something was amiss.
It seemed like he was a little too anxious.
He hurriedly explained again, “I suddenly remembered something and wanted to come over and inform Friend Su. But I happened to smell some pill fragrance here.”
The reason he hastily found seemed extremely lame.
But Su Jingzhen didn’t expose it.
He smiled and said, “This is not the fragrance of the pill. I just refined it randomly, but it failed as expected.”
Su Jingzhen naturally knew that Luo Yuebai had probably been paying attention to his alchemy for a long time.
He didn’t admit it at this moment, but he didn’t deny it either.
Both of them tacitly understood.
However, after ruining ten sets of Breaking Through Adversity Pill ingredients in succession, Su Jingzhen timely stopped and didn’t push further.
Before Luo Yuebai could ask anything else, Su Jingzhen’s gaze turned towards Clear Wind Mountain behind.
“It seems that Friend Luo hasn’t been very busy lately.”
Hearing this, Luo Yuebai raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled, “Evil Moon Sect has just established a branch here, so it is naturally very busy. But it is a good opportunity to have a break. If you do everything yourself, you will be exhausted to death.”
Su Jingzhen nodded again and smiled, “In that case, Friend Luo, would you accompany me to a place? My wife, Shuang Jiang, said that today she wants me to bring her something. If we’re late, it might delay her some matters.”
In front of others, Su Jingzhen was very willing to call Shuang Jiang his wife.
And before, he had told Luo Yuebai that Shuang Jiang was cultivating in the depths of that canyon.
Anyway, Luo Yuebai had no way to confirm the truth.
This excuse could still be used.
As soon as he said this, Luo Yuebai indeed felt a hint of astonishment in his heart.
“Is Friend Su talking about the previous canyon?”
Actually, Luo Yuebai didn’t believe Su Jingzhen’s previous statement at all.
But seeing the seriousness in Su Jingzhen’s eyes at this moment, he couldn’t help but feel puzzled.
Although he asked like this, he couldn’t help but wonder: Could there really be some strange place there that we Evil Moon Sect cultivators haven’t discovered?
Su Jingzhen nodded again, “Exactly there.”
After pondering for a moment, Luo Yuebai naturally nodded.
“Since it was arranged by Miss Shuang Jiang, then I dare not delay. Let me personally take Friend Su up there, which will be much faster.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he directly threw the folding fan in his hand into the void.
Immediately, the folding fan enlarged to a size of ten feet.
Without hesitation, Su Jingzhen stepped onto the folding fan.
At this moment, there was a hint of a smile in his heart. He knew that Luo Yuebai doubted his words.
But when he entered the depths of the canyon with the strand of imprint given to him by Shuang Jiang, and Luo Yuebai couldn’t enter, perhaps Luo Yuebai would completely believe it.
This time, Luo Yuebai didn’t lead him around randomly.
He headed straight for the canyon.
In just the time it took for an incense stick to burn, the canyon, still shrouded in mist and still deep, appeared in their sight.
Luo Yuebai still landed with Su Jingzhen in the same spot where Zhang Xiu had carved the characters before.
The cliff there was still there, and the characters on it were still there.
Seeing it again, Su Jingzhen couldn’t help but sigh.
But he turned to Luo Yuebai and said, “Friend Luo, you may wait here for a moment.”
Before Luo Yuebai could respond, he walked alone towards the mist-covered depths of the canyon.
When his figure was enveloped in dense fog and became unclear.
Luo Yuebai also followed him, heading towards the depths of the canyon.
Wait? That was naturally impossible.
“I want to see what Friend Su is up to? Whether there really exists a secret place that my Evil Moon Sect has failed to explore several times.”
Muttering to himself like this, Luo Yuebai felt that this trip might reveal some secrets about Su Jingzhen.
After all, Luo Yuebai was confident that Su Jingzhen’s strength was weaker than his own at the moment.
And Body Cultivation is naturally weaker than Qi Cultivation in terms of exploration and spiritual awareness.
So he was confident that his stealthy tracking would not be discovered by Su Jingzhen.
However, as they walked, Luo Yuebai suddenly frowned.
Although the canyon was quite spacious, it was nothing for him, a Foundation Establishment cultivator.
If Su Jingzhen wanted to hide in a certain position on the only path, it would be impossible to evade his detection.
However, after walking for a long time, he had neither seen Su Jingzhen nor felt any slightest breath.
Although the spiritual energy in the depths of the canyon was indeed more abundant, it was far from being called a secret realm.
After another incense stick’s time, he actually walked out from the other end of the canyon.
“This… I actually came out! Where is Friend Su?”
Looking at the dense forest ahead, there was an incredulous look in Luo Yuebai’s eyes.
“Could it be that he has already walked out of the canyon, and the destination is not the canyon, but somewhere in the dense forest? But, but his speed shouldn’t be faster than mine, right?”
At this moment, a serious look appeared on Luo Yuebai’s face.
He directly used the folding fan to fly into the sky and looked around the surrounding dense forest.
But he didn’t see Su Jingzhen’s figure.
Then he returned to the initial place where they were in the canyon.
Once again, he stepped towards the depths of the canyon, fully opening his spiritual awareness.
“If there really is a secret place, I, Luo Yuebai, don’t believe that I can’t get in!”
