Chapter 1132: Homeward Bound
Su Chen cultivated there for a total of four days and consumed three Jade Spirit Pills!
During these four days, not only did his external and internal injuries almost completely heal, but his cultivation also progressed by leaps and bounds, with the Meridian Expansion Peak not far away!
"Alright, let's get ready to leave this place!"
After Su Chen had almost fully absorbed the medicinal power of the last Jade Spirit Pill, he stood up and said.
"Okay!"
Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming naturally agreed; this ruins expedition was definitely the most rewarding for them!
In fact, it was more than just rewarding. For example, Lan Xinyi received treasures from Su Chen that possibly surpassed all the treasures Yunhai Hall had acquired from the ruins over so many years!
Of course, Su Chen garnered the most significant haul!
However, Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming weren't envious, as he earned it through his own knowledge, abilities, courage, and resolve!
They were more like bystanders, and such gains were already pleasantly surprising for them!
However, Su Chen felt a bit unsatisfied because he didn't find any weapons, like Spiritual Artifacts. Even if there were no Spiritual Artifacts, he at least hoped to get a few Magic Artifacts!
Unfortunately, there were no weapons inside!
Su Chen then shook his head, realizing he was indeed greedy, despite gaining so many benefits, he still wasn't content!
Of course, for Su Chen, this journey wasn't just about these gains; even his God Suppression Body made some progress!
However, the most significant gain of this trip was undoubtedly the immensely powerful Martial Technique—Thousand Hand Seal!
Undoubtedly, if he mastered this Thousand Hand Seal, his strength would be greatly enhanced!
Then, to avoid unnecessary trouble, they returned the way they had come.
A day later, Su Chen and the others appeared beneath the stone chamber where they had fallen earlier.
Though it was about twenty meters high, since they were on a ruins expedition, ropes and such were definitely essential!
Lan Xinyi tossed a rope up, hooking it onto the edge of the opened ground, and then climbed up along the rope.
Zhu Ming climbed up next, and Su Chen was the last!
After Su Chen climbed up, he leaned against the wall and headed to the grid in the stone chamber where earlier, the ground had fully opened, but the part closest to the wall still retained a narrow edge to walk over.
He pressed a mechanism under the grid, causing the previously sunken section to rebound, and the ground slowly closed back up, looking exactly as it did before, showing no signs of difference!
"Let's go!"
Su Chen said and continued to walk outside, with Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming following him out!
In the round hall, those who had been dealt with by Su Chen before were still lying there, and Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming couldn't help but feel emotional upon seeing this scene again!
Su Chen, however, didn't feel much; since they wanted to kill him, they naturally had to be prepared to be killed!
This is the most basic principle in the world of Martial Artists!
Lan Xinyi and Zhu Ming naturally understood this because if Su Chen had lost then, these people would probably not, no, definitely not have spared Su Chen!
After the three of them left the ruins, they didn't linger and continued to walk forward!
Now, they were naturally heading towards the outside of the ruins, then preparing to return to their respective places!
Along the way, the three of them chatted and laughed, feeling quite relaxed and happy!
Lan Xinyi had heard of Zhu Ming before but they had no interactions at the time, and she didn't understand him!
This time, through Su Chen, they got acquainted, and Lan Xinyi found Zhu Ming to be quite nice, at least pleasant to get along with!
Besides, through certain encounters, his character was decent, proving to be a person worthy of friendship!
Along the way, they indeed encountered a few people who wanted to rob them, but once they heard the name of Lan Xinyi, the young lady of Yunhai Hall, they instantly ran away!
After all, apart from those top-notch forces, Yunhai Hall was already among the top forces in the Ancient Martial World, and ordinary people dared not provoke them!
Neither the Zhu Family nor the Liewu Sect could compare too much; in reality, they were still a slight notch below Yunhai Hall!
Two or three days later, Su Chen and the others had already walked out of the mountains, reaching the foot, where it was time to part ways!
The three people had built a good rapport over these days, and naturally found it hard to part!
Su Chen and Zhu Ming, being men, found it a bit easier; Zhu Ming bid farewell to Su Chen and Lan Xinyi before leaving!
Although Zhu Ming had a low cultivation, he wasn't foolish, having long noticed that Lan Xinyi seemed somewhat special towards Su Chen, so he left first!
Before leaving, Zhu Ming smiled meaningfully at Lan Xinyi, causing her to blush immediately!
"Then I'll be going too."
After Zhu Ming left, Lan Xinyi said to Su Chen timidly.
"Mhmm."
Su Chen nodded; he hadn't noticed anything special from Lan Xinyi towards him, at least for now, considering her just a good friend.
"Xinyi, if you get bored, you can come to my place in Yandu to hang out."
Su Chen casually said to Lan Xinyi.
This was merely a simple invitation from Su Chen; he had said similar things while bidding farewell to Zhu Ming!
However, upon hearing these words, Lan Xinyi's heart pounded rapidly, wondering if his invitation to his house implied something?
She sneaked a peek at Su Chen, seeing a clear light in his eyes, immediately realizing she was overthinking it!
This made her even more embarrassed!
"Lan Xinyi, what nonsense are you thinking! Aren't you ashamed!"
Lan Xinyi thought to herself.
She then composed herself and casually said to Su Chen:
"Alright, I've never been to Yandu, and I'd love to visit!"
"Great, I'll be sure to take you around Yandu when the time comes!"
Su Chen laughed.
Then the two of them drove off in different directions; they didn't return to that hotel where they first met as they both had already checked out!
Moreover, they were directly heading back now; previously, it was just late, so they had stayed there for a night!
Su Chen drove his off-road vehicle directly towards the airport he had taken earlier, and Lan Xinyi naturally returned to Yunhai Hall!
That night, Su Chen already boarded a plane heading to Yandu!
He had been away for about ten days and honestly missed Lin Ruoxue and others very much!
Thinking of those women, he slightly closed his eyes for a short rest, a happy smile forming at the corner of his mouth...
After a while, a rumbling sound arose, and the plane slowly ascended, flying towards Yandu...
