"Honey, you're awake."
After a while, Su Chen also slowly opened his eyes.
"Hmm."
Lin Ruoxue said a word and got up, while Su Chen leaned against the bedhead, smoked a cigarette, and got up too.
Then they went out together to prepare for breakfast. Nowadays, breakfast wasn't necessarily made by Su Chen.
Anyway, there were so many won, and quite a few could cook. Today's breakfast was made by Du Hanbing.
Before long, the won gathered, and everyone sat down to have breakfast together.
"Su Chen, our villa doesn't have a na yet. Why don't you co up with one?"
During breakfast, Xia Qiuru suddenly suggested.
The won brightened up at the suggestion and all agreed excitedly, urging Su Chen to choose a na.
"I'm not suddenly coming up with a good na."
Su Chen shook his head and smiled.
"Just pick one!"
"Anything will do."
...
The won imdiately got interested.
"Alright, let think."
Su Chen pondered for a mont and said:
"This mountain is called Yuquan Mountain. How about we na it Yuquan Villa?"
"Yuquan Villa?"
Hearing this, Xia Qiuru murmured and then said:
"Not bad, simple and direct, and it sounds quite nice actually."
"Yes, it's quite elegant and fits the environnt here."
Du Hanbing nodded in agreent.
Lin Ruoxue and the others also repeated the na twice, felt it was good, and all nodded in agreent!
"Great, I'll go make a plaque today!"
Yan Xi said excitedly.
Unlike Lin Ruoxue and Xia Qiuru, Yan Xi wasn't as busy and hardworking. Her job was relatively easy, with plenty of free ti, so she proactively took on the task.
After breakfast, Lin Ruoxue, Xia Qiuru, and Yan Xi went to work, while the other won either cultivated or chatted casually.
Su Chen went to the annex next door. For the past few days, he had been troubled by personal issues, so he hadn't visited Ouyang Jing.
When Su Chen arrived, Ouyang Jing was cultivating and stopped upon seeing Su Chen coming over.
"Su Chen, I was planning to ask you to co over in the next couple of days, didn't expect you to co first."
Ouyang Jing smiled.
"Oh, Ouyang, what do you want to see about?"
Su Chen asked with a smile.
As the two were fairly familiar, they naturally referred to each other by na!
"Su Chen, have you heard of the Heavenly Profound Mountain?"
Ouyang Jing looked at Su Chen and asked.
"Of course I've heard of it. It's one of Huaxia's largest mountain ranges."
Su Chen nodded and said:
"Ouyang, why do you ask?"
"You might not know, but there's a ruin in the Heavenly Profound Mountain Range. However, what kind of ruin it is, nobody knows."
Ouyang Jing said:
"In these ruins, there's a wealth of cultivation resources, herbs, secret manuals, elixirs, various materials, and so on—a trove of treasures, really!"
"Such a magical place?"
Su Chen exclaid in surprise. He indeed didn't know that there was a ruin in the Heavenly Profound Mountain, let alone that it was full of treasures!
"Yes, in the Ancient Martial World, this is almost like an open secret. Almost every Ancient Martial Force has entered, and they have obtained so treasures to varying degrees."
Ouyang Jing continued:
"So forces have even obtained magic artifacts there, and it's rumored that spiritual artifacts have appeared there too! Just don't know if it's true!"
Su Chen was stunned upon hearing what Ouyang Jing said!
Magic artifacts and even spiritual artifacts appeared there? That's simply unbelievable!
Just from that alone, it is certain that it's a place full of treasures!
"Su Chen, if you're interested, you might as well take a stroll. Now is a good ti, maybe you'll find sothing valuable."
Ouyang Jing said with a smile.
To be honest, hearing Ouyang Jing's words, Su Chen was really tempted, because he was very short on cultivation resources, almost having none!
"Alright, I'll go take a look in a couple of days."
Su Chen nodded and then asked:
"Ouyang, will you be going?"
"I've been there three or four tis already, so I won't be going this ti."
Ouyang Jing shook his head and said.
Ouyang Jing wasn't going mainly because his cultivation had been advancing rapidly recently, and he was about to make progress anyti!
Of course, this was chiefly due to the effects of the large Gathering Yuan Formation!
If he progresses further, then he will be close to leaving the Kaiyuan Middle Stage behind, and at that mont, he naturally wouldn't want to interrupt his cultivation!
"But Su Chen, if you are determined to go, there's one thing I need to emphasize especially."
Ouyang Jing's expression suddenly beca serious.
"Go ahead."
Su Chen said, knowing that having been there three or four tis, Ouyang Jing surely possesses considerable experience.
"Su Chen, in other areas you should be alright as long as you pay attention to things yourself."
Ouyang Jing said earnestly:
"But what you must particularly note is demon beasts!"
"There are demon beasts inside?"
Su Chen exclaid in surprise at the news.
"Yes, there are indeed demon beasts inside. What makes now a good ti to go is exactly this."
Ouyang Jing explained:
"Around this ti every year, most of the powerful demon beasts are in the deepest part of the ruins and don't co out, while the ones that do are comparatively weak! The Ancient Martial World has discovered this pattern over the years!"
"So rember, don't venture into the deepest part of the ruins. There's not only demon beasts there, but also sothing even more terrifying, though I don't know what it is specifically."
Ouyang Jing chose to tell Su Chen about this also because he knew Su Chen's current actual cultivation had reached the Kaiyuan Primary Stage; otherwise, he wouldn't have inford Su Chen.
Because if one hasn't reached the Kaiyuan Realm, and considering Su Chen would be alone, it might be quite dangerous.
Su Chen nodded upon hearing this.
"Over the years, although many forces venture into the ruins annually, they generally only reach the edge of the deepest part, not daring to go deeper!"
Ouyang Jing said seriously:
"Once there were three elders from super first-class forces who entered together to explore the treasures inside, but once they entered, they never ca out!"
Su Chen felt a subtle shock upon hearing this. The strength of the elders from super first-class forces is well-known, and even three elders together failed to return!
The implication of not returning, of course, is that they perished inside!
At this point, Ouyang Jing took out a map and handed it to Su Chen:
"If you decide to go, take this map with you. It's compiled from years of experience by the Ouyang family, and the red area denotes the deepest part of the ruins. Rember, absolutely do not go in, and it's best not even to get close!"
"Thank you!"
Su Chen solemnly said as he accepted the map.
Since the map is based on accumulated experiences of the Ouyang family, generally one won't easily give it away, yet Ouyang Jing handed it to him without hesitation.
The favor granted is indeed heavy!
For soone like himself who has never ventured there, the map is extrely valuable!
"Between us, there's no need for such formality!"
Ouyang Jing smiled:
"In any case, be careful and take care of yourself!"
"Don't worry, I'm quite keen on preserving my life!"
Su Chen joked.
Afterward, the two chatted for a while longer, and after Ouyang Jing reminded him of so points to take note of, Su Chen went back...
