Master of Strange Dao

Lei Yu had also sent a message, thanking him for the Magical Treasure specialty and extending an invitation as well.

Lei Yu brought up the Grotto Heaven they had explored previously; it was because of that Grotto Heaven that he thought of borrowing Wu Shuangge's Magical Treasure to break through the Grotto Heaven's defenses.

As a result, a whole series of events unfolded.

Now that everyone was getting along reasonably well, Lei Yu brought up the matter again.

He still hadn't managed to enter the grand entrance of that Grotto Heaven.

He had been at odds with that Grotto Heaven for a year now, and many people were waiting to laugh at him.

He said he had discreetly invited an Eighth Tier elder from his clan to try, but they still couldn't directly break the entrance's protections.

It wasn't due to a lack of strength, but because going all out might accidentally damage the Grotto Heaven itself.

They would have to call upon Ancestor Li to strike through the defenses in one blow without harming the Grotto Heaven.

Lei Yu couldn't afford to lose face like that, and more importantly, he dared not ask.

So, after a few months of interaction, having had pleasant chats and trades with Yu Ziqing, he started to have designs on Wu Shuangge again.

But this time, unlike before, it was a friendly invitation.

As long as they could enter the Grotto Heaven, Yu Ziqing would have the right to pick three items first from anything they encountered.

Then the rest of the gains would be split equally among everyone.

Yu Ziqing hadn't accepted yet.

He always felt that at this time, accepting Lei Yu's invitation to team up and enter that Grotto Heaven dungeon, the conditions were not mature in many respects.

Lei Yu, this guy, hadn't even figured out the origin of that Grotto Heaven and what it might be.

Who would dare to rush in with him, let him clarify a few things first.

And his own strength was still lacking a bit.

The Realm could not be improved in a short time, but other skills could be enhanced first.

So, it was okay to accept the invitation, but when to go was another matter.

Then he took out the Seventh Floor ring and, upon entering, began to call out to Yang.

A moment later, Yu Ziqing saw a human-shaped shadow ascend the stairs and sit down in No. 3's spot.

"Where did you put the ring on?"

Yu Ziqing couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

"No need to wear it."

Yang replied irritably.

"So, what's up?"

"My plans here are already underway, and the progress has been quite smooth, so I'm planning to return home for some intensive training soon."

"Come back then. That old fellow at home can't wait for your return and let me tell you something; he can't suppress his cultivation anymore."

"An incident?" Yu Ziqing was startled.

"No, it's that his progress is too rapid. It's not only because of his profound cultivation foundation but also a lifetime of tribulations, which is an extremely valuable base.

His Realm, although it seems to be declining on the surface, is actually consolidating.

And his precise control, following your nonsensical method, actually reached an exceedingly outrageous level.

Even now, just by moving his limbs a bit, his strength is still slowly climbing.

The hell, is there no one normal around here?"

Yang started cursing as he spoke.

Ever since he entered Jinlan Village, he hadn't met a single normal person, and even he himself had become abnormal.

"Hahaha..." Yu Ziqing burst into loud laughter.

"Alright, if there's nothing else, I'll come back for intensive training."

Before logging out, Yu Ziqing checked his private message wall again.

No. 5 had left a message, wanting to purchase some more sweet rain, with the price based on the previous valuation.

The price of a Void Escape Scroll?

As if he was begging for alms.

Yu Ziqing didn't even pay him any attention.

Duke Lin must have already recovered; why would he still want sweet rain?

By the looks of it, he is clearly not in a hurry.

Let him wait for a year then.

On the forum wall, there wasn't any new content either.

No. 1 had always been diving deep, No. 2 also stopped bubbling up, No. 3 was gone, now taken over by Yang.

Considering that Duke Lin had recovered and was still pretending to be unwell, he probably has no good plans brewing, so No. 5 must be quite busy lately and hasn't been active either.

No. 6, since his last post, made another one, still inquiring about the whereabouts of the Peeling expert; it seems nobody paid him any mind last time.

As for Yu Ziqing, he always lurked invisibly, never posting.

The only active one turned out to be No. 4, the drifter who traveled everywhere.

This guy might have gotten a map of the Silver Lake Forbidden Land by now, and he's trapped somewhere, asking for help online.

But judging by his tone, he probably isn't in immediate danger.

Yu Ziqing didn't plan to ask or get involved.

Silver Lake Forbidden Land, even though not a major Forbidden Land, was still not a place he could go now.

Just as he was looking, Yang also came down from upstairs and, seeing what Yu Ziqing was doing, stopped to look as well.

"Are you thinking of helping him?"

"Why would I help him? He went to explore the Forbidden Land himself; he must have expected to encounter danger."

"Judging by the way he talks, he should be a young man, and to bravely enter the Silver Lake Forbidden Land alone and still not die, he must at least be Seventh Tier, definitely the young talent of some major power. Aren't you going to make his acquaintance?"

Yu Ziqing always felt that Yang's words were strange.

"Do you think that whenever I see a young talent, I'll go over and make friends with them?"

"Isn't that the case?"

"..."

Yu Ziqing reflected for a moment; damn, it seemed to make quite a bit of sense.

"Can you save him?"

"I could, actually. I've read a travelogue about the Silver Lake Forbidden Land. The place he's trapped might be Yuan Magnetic Mountain. Tell him to try to conceal his power, close his eyes, and walk in one direction. If he doesn't die, he'll be able to walk out."
