Getting Stronger By Fighting

Although there was heavy resistance when coming in, leaving seemed much easier.

Soon, they had arrived before the main gate of the ruins.

Wang Zhan glanced at Li Du beside him and casually asked, "Do you have any plans next?"

"Haven’t thought of anything for now."

Li Du shrugged and spoke with a smile, "Perhaps I’ll continue being a wanderer? If there’s something good somewhere, I will naturally go there again; maybe we’ll meet again then."

"Have you considered settling down in one place? Like our Sky Pavilion?"

Wang Zhan asked in return.

However, Li Du fell into a brief hesitation, then shook his head and said, "I’ve long been used to being free and easy. For now, I plan to continue as a wanderer, not troubling anyone, and not worrying about anyone troubling me. Things are much simpler."

Wang Zhan nodded; since Li Du wasn’t planning to stay with them, he couldn’t force him.

"Alright, let’s part ways here. If there’s a chance in the future, maybe we’ll meet again."

Wang Zhan said with a smile.

Li Du nodded and started heading away. Before long, he had disappeared from Wang Zhan and his companion’s side.

Wang Zhan’s gaze fell on Xiang Tian beside him, and he said flatly, "You were waiting outside just now; have you heard from Luo Xue and the others?"

Although many of their people were injured, Luo Xue still led a portion ahead to leave first.

Now that they were ready to return Inside Tian Pavilion, Wang Zhan naturally needed to reunite with Luo Xue and the others as soon as possible.

Xiang Tian hesitated and shook his head, saying, "Ever since we parted, I haven’t received any news from Luo Xue, nor do I know where she has gone..."

"How about this, let’s head back Inside Tian Pavilion first, maybe Luo Xue will meet us there?"

Previously, when they split up, Wang Zhan had instructed Luo Xue and the others to wait outside the ruins. If anything happened, they should rush back Inside Tian Pavilion without delay.

Now it seems that since Luo Xue is not here, she has most likely returned Inside Tian Pavilion.

Wang Zhan didn’t hesitate, and immediately said, "Let’s go then."

As they were getting fewer, Wang Zhan and his companion’s pace became much quicker, and by that night, they had returned Inside Tian Pavilion.

Those who received the news hurried out.

At this moment, everyone stood at the main entrance, and when they saw Wang Zhan and his companion return, they quickly went to greet them.

However, Wang Zhan did not see Luo Xue among the crowd; his gaze landed on Xuan Yu, and he asked with a smile, "Did Luo Xue come back?"

"Hmm?"

Zuo Linglong was instantly stunned, "Wasn’t he supposed to be with you?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan understood immediately.

Clearly, Luo Xue did not come back.

In that moment, Wang Zhan’s face turned much more serious. With a furrowed brow, he said, "It seems we took the wrong path and missed meeting Luo Xue!"

"This is indeed a bit troublesome now..."

Luo Xue and the others aren’t particularly strong, and if they encounter some tough individuals, it could become quite troublesome.

At the thought of this, Wang Zhan quickly glanced at Xuan Yu beside him and immediately instructed, "I don’t know where Luo Xue and the others went now, it’s complicated, you take some capable people and search for Luo Xue near the ruins; if you receive any news, find a way to notify me immediately."

Xuan Yu saw the seriousness of the matter, nodded heavily, and then went to gather allies.

Meanwhile, Dong Tianlei approached Wang Zhan swiftly and asked as they headed into the Great Hall together, "Was it successful this time?"

"Not entirely successful."

Wang Zhan briefly recounted what happened in the ruins, but he still seemed distracted, as his mind was constantly on matters concerning Luo Xue, and now, if he couldn’t find her, Wang Zhan was somewhat worried.

Dong Tianlei patted him on the shoulder and said, "Since you weren’t meant to obtain the Divine Heart, let others take it; we shouldn’t overthink it. Everything depends on fate, which I’m sure you know better than me?"

Wang Zhan nodded. Actually, on the way back, he kept thinking about this matter.

But soon he was relieved.

Actually, that person was quite fair to them. While Wang Zhan and his companion interacted with the Divine Heart, that person didn’t act and remained hidden, which was reasonable.

"You’ve probably been tired these days, so why don’t you go back to your room and have a good rest? I won’t disturb you."

Dong Tianlei said with a smile, "If there’s anything, just contact me directly, no need to be polite with me."

Wang Zhan nodded and didn’t say anything further.

He was indeed a bit fatigued.

Since Xiang Tian had also returned to his room, Wang Zhan didn’t worry about much. In the blink of an eye, Wang Zhan was already lying on the bed, but he just couldn’t fall asleep.

Suddenly, footsteps came from outside, and then Zuo Linglong walked in from outside.

Now that Wang Zhan had just returned to the Sky Pavilion, everyone wanted to come over to inquire about the situation, so Wang Zhan’s place was naturally bustling.

Looking at Zuo Linglong standing to the side, Wang Zhan smiled broadly and said, "Do you have something to discuss with me?"

"There is indeed a small matter."

Zuo Linglong scratched her head with a smile, she sat by the bed, and then continued, "I’ve encountered some issues with elixir creation, probably because I’ve hit a bottleneck. If no one guides me, I fear I’ll stagnate and be unable to progress any further..."

"That’s why I wanted your help, do you have time?"

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Wang Zhan’s mouth. He stared at Zuo Linglong for a long time, then smiled with satisfaction.

It must be said, Zuo Linglong’s progress during this period has indeed been swift, and it was something everyone could see.

But it’s not just a matter of talent, it’s more about Zuo Linglong’s hard work after the fact.

"Tomorrow, I’ll go to the back mountain to find you, and then teach you step by step how to create an elixir. Just set your mind at ease, I will definitely let you graduate soon."

Zuo Linglong nodded excitedly. Although she had heard some things about what happened during Wang Zhan’s outing, she didn’t ask much.

She knew Wang Zhan’s strength and believed that Wang Zhan could handle these matters well by himself. If they continued to ask more, it would only make Wang Zhan feel more annoyed. It might be better to let Wang Zhan do something else to perhaps shift his focus.

Just as Zuo Linglong was about to leave, she suddenly stopped in her tracks, then turned her head to look at Wang Zhan and slowly said, "Master, tomorrow you don’t have to come to the back mountain to find me. I haven’t been in the back mountain all the time recently, but stayed inside the Sky Pavilion because I’ve crafted an elixir that can help everyone improve their cultivation, and I wanted to discuss the elixir with you."

Wang Zhan was taken aback, "An elixir that can enhance cultivation?"

Zuo Linglong nodded, "Yes."

"Actually, it’s just about integrating the Spiritual Energy between Heaven and Earth into the elixir, which helps those around us in their cultivation. But the effect isn’t very good, and I feel it’s kind of like chicken ribs..."

"So I wanted to hear your opinion, see if you could give me some sincere advice?"

Wang Zhan nodded, "Sure, I’ll discuss it with you early tomorrow."

"By the way, where’s your other master?"

Wang Zhan asked again.

"He’s been in seclusion in the back mountain, and should recover to his peak state soon enough."

Zuo Linglong quickly responded.

Upon hearing this, Wang Zhan’s eyes widened, proving that the Sky Pavilion would have a top-notch expert.

Even without himself there, there would still be someone to hold the fort, so he needn’t worry about anything else.

"Looks like you’ve provided him with quite a lot of elixirs during this period, huh?"

Wang Zhan asked with a smile.

Zuo Linglong nodded, "The capable should do more, and he can also test if there are any drawbacks in the elixirs I make. Overall, it’s pretty good. If not for him being by my side all this time, not only would my cultivation not have improved, but I might not have been able to craft such good elixirs."

Wang Zhan then realized that after a few days without seeing each other, Zuo Linglong’s strength had indeed changed a bit, though the progress wasn’t substantial. However, for Zuo Linglong, it wasn’t a significant matter. As long as she improved her elixir crafting skills, he wouldn’t have to worry about anything in the future. Just a few elixirs could attract countless experts to serve him.

This is also the benefit of being an alchemist.

Wang Zhan smiled in satisfaction, "Alright, then I’ll meet him once he comes out of seclusion."

"You might need to wait a long time."

Zuo Linglong said with a bitter face, "It seems this time will take a long time since he’s about to attack his peak state again, so he needs a lot of elixirs and must maintain peace of mind."

Wang Zhan nodded and didn’t say any more.

"Alright then, you should rest in your room first, and I’ll come over later."

Having said that, Zuo Linglong had already left the room.
