"Clang, clang, clang!"
Lu Chen arrived at dicine Master Zhao’s residence and knocked on the door.
"Young Master Lu?"
The apprentice opened the door, greeted with a smile upon seeing Lu Chen.
Lu Chen smiled and nodded in greeting, "Is the dicine Master in?"
"He is, just woke up!"
The apprentice opened the door and called into the house, "dicine Master Zhao, Young Master Lu is here!"
"Hahaha, co in, co in! It’s been over half a year, I’ve been worried to death!"
A hearty laugh imdiately ca from inside the house, and as the apprentice opened the door, Lu Chen also saw a figure rushing out from the main hall.
Lu Chen entered the house, "Thank you, dicine Master Zhao, but I’m afraid I might have disappointed you!"
dicine Master Zhao was puzzled at first, then suddenly startled, "Has sothing happened to your young lady...?"
He wasn’t quite certain, thinking that if sothing had happened due to the Spirit-communicating Grass, Lu Chen should have co to seek retribution!
Yet, he started with thanks!
Being a knowledgeable man, he knew there must be sothing more, "Young Master Lu is here for a visit. I need to have a long talk with him tonight. Go to the town and buy so good food and drinks to bring back!"
After sending off the apprentice, dicine Master Zhao’s expression grew serious, "Young Master Lu, what has happened?"
"dicine Master Zhao, the Spirit-communicating Grass really was useful, but who would have thought that in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, there would still be cultivators!"
dicine Master Zhao’s eyes shone with a keen light, "There are Spiritual dicines growing in Ten Thousand Demon Mountain, and it’s not surprising to find an Immortal Sect deep within the mountains... It’s just a pity!"
Lu Chen was also surprised, "A pity for what?"
"A pity that I can’t witness the Celestial Body!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen thought to himself that dicine Master Zhao knew everything all along and probably didn’t tell him before, fearing it might disturb his state of mind.
His words clearly also acknowledged that Qin Yaotiao must have been taken by soone from an Immortal Sect.
"So, I still have to thank you, dicine Master Zhao, otherwise Yaotiao wouldn’t have had such a special encounter."
"Young Master Lu, I haven’t really helped much. I’ve just read a few more books than you," dicine Master Zhao controlled his expression and smiled, "Your young lady will have boundless cultivation in the future. It’s just you..."
As he spoke, he looked towards the lower abdon of Lu Chen.
When he ca with Qin Yaotiao before, dicine Master Zhao had already noticed that Lu Chen’s Dantian had been excavated, which would affect his cultivation.
Lu Chen knew what he ant, "Man will conquer heaven. Yaotiao and I have set an agreent for three years. More than half a year has passed, and I still have two and a half years!"
"Young Master Lu, forgive my bluntness, but in just over two years, it will be difficult for you to cross the boundary of an innate Martial Artist! Although, I can feel you are much stronger than before, you are still in the Bone Refinent Realm!"
With no more vitality in his body and judging from his physical state, Lu Chen obviously remained at this realm.
Lu Chen smiled, "The ti is not yet up, why would I admit defeat? Besides coming here to thank dicine Master Zhao, I also wanted to inquire whether you happen to know about Heaven Ravine?"
He had not intended to ask this question to dicine Master Zhao.
But from the hints in dicine Master Zhao’s words, he always felt that the man might know quite a lot.
After all, there was no harm in asking.
"Heaven Ravine?"
dicine Master Zhao’s expression changed, "Are you thinking of taking on Heaven Ravine? That’s the greatest forbidden land within our empire!"
"Forbidden land?"
Lu Chen muttered to himself.
"Yes, forbidden land! But I must say, Heaven Ravine is a place where opportunity and danger coexist! You were once the pride of Yuzhou City; you must have heard of Heavenly Book Academy, correct?"
"Of course, I have."
"Heavenly Book Academy was established because of Heaven Ravine. The academy brings together the empire’s talents, actually eyeing Heaven Ravine! Those who co out from Heaven Ravine alive would invariably beco exceptional individuals. Moreover, many are taken as disciples by Immortal Sects on the spot!"
Hearing this, Lu Chen felt that sothing was not right.
He did plan to go to Heaven Ravine.
But he never intended to beco a disciple of any Immortal Sect; he only wanted to see Qin Yaotiao again!
If he were to join an Immortal Sect, it would be the one Yaotiao was in!
Could it be that the woman had deliberately set this up, making him unable to return to Ten Thousand Demon Mountain after three years, causing Yaotiao to forget about him?
Seeing Lu Chen’s expression, dicine Master Zhao mistook it as scaring Lu Chen, so he shifted his tone, "Actually, Young Master Lu, may I offer you a piece of advice? Heaven Ravine is not impossible to venture into, but going alone is quite dangerous. With your talents, though lacking a Dantian, joining Heavenly Book Academy would not be difficult. Then, you can be fully prepared before going!"
Lu Chen thought for a mont, realizing that he indeed needed to understand more about Heaven Ravine.
Thereupon he said, "In that case, dicine Master Zhao, how much do you know about Heavenly Book Academy?"
dicine Master Zhao laughed heartily, "Heavenly Book Academy? I couldn’t know it any better!"
As the words fell, the courtyard door was burst open, and the apprentice rushed in with a face full of panic!
"dicine Master Zhao, it’s not good, many people are fighting outside, and it’s spreading this way!"
