Chapter 13: The Protagonist's Missed Fortune and Firm Resolve:
At that moment, Lu Ming noticed that not far away, Qiu Ruohan was looking in the direction he had come from. Her demeanor was otherworldly, like a fairy.
After a moment, she asked, "Do you know the person who just left?"
"The person who just left?"
Lu Ming was momentarily stunned before realizing that Qiu Ruohan was asking about Lin Ang.
This thought made Lu Ming feel a bit displeased, but he still replied: "Holy Maiden Ruohan, that person is an outer sect disciple named Lin Ang. He joined the Azure Cloud Sect years ago after the Ten Thousand Races Battle and seems to have some connection with Ye Cangxue of the Ascended Holy Land. Later, he voluntarily offered his bloodline to save Ye Cangxue, which caused him to lose his cultivation potential and remain dormant for many years. Now, he is nothing but a cripple and will likely be expelled from the sect in a month!"
Qiu Ruohan stood still, as beautiful as a painting, with a look of slight surprise in her eyes. She pondered, "A few days ago, there was a phenomenon in the inner sect that even alarmed the patriarch, who used heavenly phenomena to protect it. Could it be... him?"
Qiu Ruohan softly murmured to herself, "Lin Ang..."
She silently memorized the name.
Following this, the accompanying elders called out, "Holy Maiden returns to the sect!"
The convoy started moving again, leaving Lu Ming standing there, bewildered. As he watched the convoy disappear, his expression turned ice cold. He couldn't understand why Lin Ang, a mere cripple, would suddenly attract Qiu Ruohan's attention and his beautiful master's special regard.
"Hmph!" Lu Ming snorted coldly. "Ruohan, you must think I'm a useless person with no chance of entering the inner sect again, which is why you look down on me! Even this bottle of Foundation Establishment Elixir is just a charity!"
"But you can't imagine that once I obtain the opportunity and make a breakthrough into the Spirit Condensing Realm, I will shock everyone in the sect examination! At that time, Lin Ang will be crushed under my feet, and everyone will know that Lin Ang is just a cripple! I am the number one genius of the outer sect! Ruohan, I am the man worthy of your attention!"
For some reason, Lu Ming had the nagging feeling that he had missed something crucial in this encounter with Qiu Ruohan, which was supposed to be a significant breakthrough in their relationship.
Half an hour later, Lu Ming entered the Black Wood Forest.
Guided by his beautiful master, he found a tree hole.
"Is this where the opportunity is?"
Lu Ming was overjoyed at the sight of the tree hole, confident that the true opportunity of Longhu Mountain was within it.
Without hesitation, Lu Ming stepped into the tree hole.
Inside, he found a skeleton seated at the center and several ancient medicine bottles beside it.
The bottles were emitting a pure medicinal aura, appearing to be centuries old.
"The scent... The medicinal power..." Lu Ming was ecstatic. His voice trembled with excitement, "These pills must be of the fourth grade! With these pills, my cultivation will advance by leaps and bounds! Hahaha, my destiny is extraordinary!"
Lu Ming grabbed the bottles immediately, but his expression changed drastically.
What he initially thought was joy turned to confusion, then to a twisted, ferocious look.
The bottles were empty. Only a faint trace of spiritual Qi indicated that the pills had been taken not long ago.
"This... How is this possible?" Lu Ming was in complete shock. This remote area was supposed to be his opportunity, guided by his beautiful master's perception. Yet, the treasures had already been taken.
At that moment, he noticed a recently opened wooden box nearby, with residual spiritual Qi indicating that a spiritual weapon had been inside. But the weapon was gone. Clearly, someone had taken the opportunity not long ago.
"No!" The thought of missing out on a spiritual weapon drove Lu Ming to near madness.
Recalling Lin Ang's departure, Lu Ming broke into a cold sweat. "Could it be him? Did Lin Ang take the opportunity?"
Lu Ming slumped to the ground.
A beautiful woman emerged from the necklace, appearing as a remnant soul. Her mature charm and gentle voice tried to comfort him, "Xiao Ming, I will find a way to help you. Even without this opportunity, I can help you make a breakthrough into the Spirit Condensing Realm soon. Don't lose your mind."
But Lu Ming, consumed by anger, roared, "Why... Why!!! This was supposed to be my opportunity, but he took it! Lin Ang... I will make you pay a hundred, a thousand times over!"
