Family Cultivation: Randomly refreshes information about a cultivation opportunity.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen was momentarily speechless.

After all, it seems that Dad really has forgotten.

If Yan Ruyu were an enemy, he would have already been decapitated by now.

I never expected that my first trip on a long journey would be such a lesson.

I still lack experience.

"The outside world is different from the family. Don't trust anyone before you fully understand them. Of course, I, your sister Yan, am trustworthy."

As she spoke, Yan Ruyu reached out and ruffled Zhang Xuanchen's hair.

The latter tilted his head, avoiding the other party's outstretched claws.

Helplessly, he said, "Sister Yan, I'm all grown up now, please don't rub my head anymore."

"Big? Big where? He's just a sixteen-year-old brat."

Yan Ruyu waved her hand dismissively.

"Alright, sister, I have something to do. Be careful, don't die from buying food outside. After all, the chef at my Tianya Restaurant still needs your guidance."

Although the two only had a working relationship, this expression of concern was sincere.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xuanchen nodded seriously:

"Thank you for your guidance, Sister Yan. I will be more careful. Until we meet again."

After saying this, Zhang Xuanchen left the place and headed towards the teleportation array.

After Zhang Xuanchen left, the old man beside Yan Ruyu asked in confusion:

"Miss, he may have some talent, but is it really worth your attention?"

Yan Ruyu chuckled lightly, but did not reply to the old man directly.

He smiled and said, "Elder Xu, do you still remember the purpose of our trip to the South China Sea Immortal Continent?"

Old Xu pondered for a moment, then said, "Search for the Hidden Dragon."

"Yes, the search for the Hidden Dragon. Master has five disciples in total. He said that only by finding the Hidden Dragon of the South China Sea can one obtain the true inheritance of the Heavenly Secrets lineage and become the Pavilion Master of Tianya Pavilion."

Yan Ruyu looked up at the sky, her eyes shimmering with a pale pink light, muttering to herself as her slender fingers made continuous calculations.

She clearly felt that she was very close to becoming a dragon, but she just couldn't figure out the last step.

It was as if the aura of a hidden dragon had been concealed, making it elusive and unpredictable.

Old Xu said in a low voice:

"Once trapped in mud and swallowed by cold rain, its scales covered in dust, concealing its proud spirit; now it lies dormant in the South China Sea, gathering thunderous power, its claws and teeth awaiting the time to shatter the heavens."

"Miss, these are the words the master said, and Zhang Xuanchen clearly does not fit them."

Upon hearing this, Yan Ruyu shook her head and said:

"Whether it is true or not is not important. What is important is that I saw potential in him. Isn't the reason why Tianya Pavilion has stood strong to this day because of its discerning eye and wide circle of friends?"

It's just a small investment; gaining the favor of a future powerhouse can only benefit us, right?

"Miss's foresight and wisdom far surpasses that of this old servant."

"Let's go, don't keep Third Senior Sister waiting."

"Yes."

……

On the other side, after making inquiries from various sources, Zhang Xuanchen finally returned to the location of the teleportation array.

No one knows how Yan Ruyu managed to catch him 30 kilometers away.

They spent three thousand low-grade spirit stones to reach Qingmu Market, the closest market to the Dragon Mountain Range.

He looked again at the location of the Earth Vein Profound Yang Fire in his mind and found that it was still more than two thousand kilometers away.

If you take a Tier 1 premium airship, it will take about a day and a half.

If you take a Tier 1 high-grade flying boat and fly continuously, it will take about two days, which is enough time.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xuanchen decided to walk.

Are you kidding me? For a Qi Refining cultivator to fly at high speed over the Dragon Mountain Range, what's the difference between that and courting death?

The continuous mountain peaks resemble the spine of a dragon lying in wait, and the air is filled with a primitive and profound atmosphere.

The ancient pine tree leans against the cliff face, its branches, marked with distinct veins, are shrouded in a pale blue mist.

This gives the entire mountain range a mysterious air.

A boy is moving quickly through the woods.

The volcanoes are not deep within the Dragon Mountains, but rather in a deeper, more peripheral area.

This is also within the acceptable range.

Just as Zhang Xuanchen was running wildly through the forest, a sharp black claw suddenly appeared in front of him.

The black claws gleamed, as if they were about to slice Zhang Xuanchen in two.

"Depend on!"

Faced with this sudden attack, alarm bells rang in Zhang Xuanchen's mind. He knelt down, leaned back, and slid to avoid the fatal blow.

After dodging, he instantly turned around and looked at the beast in front of him, which was completely black with faint white spots on its fur, and had crimson eyes that exuded a cold aura.

"A late-stage Tier 1 Shadow Leopard! Damn, we've only been traveling a short distance and we've already encountered such a troublesome monster. Our luck is just unbelievable."

A look of seriousness appeared in Zhang Xuanchen's eyes. The Qingfeng Sword appeared in his hand, and his gaze was fixed on his opponent.

The Shadow Leopard excels at stealth and ambush; if he hadn't reacted quickly enough, he would have been dead long ago.

Swish swish!

Several sword blades slashed towards the Shadow Leopard.

The Shadow Leopard leaped back and forth using the ancient pine tree as a springboard, deflecting all the sword strikes and leaving deep wounds on the tree's body.

Roar!

The Shadow Leopard roared and pounced again, its blood-red maw wide open.

when!

The Qingfeng Sword clashed with the sharp black claws, producing a crisp sound.

As Zhang Xuanchen's thoughts raced, three flying swords instantly appeared beside the Shadow Leopard.

With a flick of his finger.

puff.

Three flying swords instantly pierced into the Shadow Leopard's body.

As blood spurted out, the Nether Leopard let out a whimper and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

Without hesitation, he cut off the other person's head to prevent them from faking death.

After putting the corpse into his storage bag, he glanced at a patch of grass, gave a wicked smile, and turned to continue on his way.

After he left, three figures emerged from the bushes.

The lean man sighed:

"Brother, this kid's not weak. He's only at the seventh level of Qi Refining, yet he killed the Shadow Leopard in just a few moves. Should we still do this job?"

"Do it! Of course we should do it! But not now. That man is in a hurry but has a clear goal. He must have found something good."

We'll just follow him; maybe we'll get something good this time!

The man addressed as "Big Brother" was a burly middle-aged man with a hideous scar on his face. He licked his pale lips as he watched Zhang Xuanchen's disappearing figure.

Upon hearing this, the obese middle-aged man beside him nodded: "We've been following them for an hour, how can we give up?"

"My eldest brother and I are both at the eighth level of Qi Refining, and you, third brother, are only at the seventh level. Why would you be afraid of him?"

The middle-aged man with the scarred face lost his smile and said coldly:

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and keep up! Don't lose them! Remember to conceal your presence!"

After saying that, the three of them quickly chased after Zhang Xuanchen in the direction he had left.

When they arrived at a huge rock, the three of them stopped.

"What's going on! How did the aura disappear here?!"

"Damn! Did that kid find us?"

The lean man asked in confusion, "That shouldn't be the case. We all concealed our presence and weren't close to that kid. Logically, we shouldn't have been discovered, right?"

Just as the three were wondering...

A cold voice rang out behind the three of them:

"Are you looking for me?"
