“Good job.”
Seeing Pang Jian coming back, Han Ting closed the stone door with her backhand and praised him with a smile: "As soon as you realized that you couldn't afford to offend him, you immediately gave him a gift and apologized. Your cautious style of doing things should allow you to live a long time."
She saw everything Pang Jian did.
She also praised sincerely.
"Well, I can't afford to offend you, so I'll just be honest."
Pang Jian looked normal.
He sat down on the futon, looked up at Han Ting, who had an extremely hot body, and said, "I will pay attention below and will not disturb you again."
"Um."
Seeing that he was sincere and deeply aware of his mistakes, Han Ting nodded with satisfaction and did not pursue the matter further.
“Boom boom!”
“Brother!”
There was a knock on the door from Gao Yuan.
Pang Jian, who had just sat down, sighed, then stood up and opened the door.
"Brother, I have heard a lot of news. The gathering held by Old Monster Cao can be said to have caught all the cultivation geniuses in the third world. Uh... Han Ting!"
As soon as the stone door opened, Gao Yuan, who was reporting the intelligence, waited until Pang Jian turned aside and suddenly screamed: "Han Ting, why are you here?"
A man and a woman were alone, and the stone door was closed. Gao Yuan's mind suddenly flashed with scenes that were not suitable for children. He said, "Han Ting, I heard that you were attacked by your companions during your exploration of the forbidden area not long ago because you wanted to keep the harvest for yourself. What... did you want to see me for?"
Looking at the boatman who was famous for his sharp eyesight, Han Ting cursed with a cold face: "Which bastard said that I wanted to keep the harvest for myself? It was obviously those guys who saw that I was injured by the beast and wanted to take the opportunity to sleep with me. I found them disgusting, so I escaped after a fierce battle with serious injuries."
"Calm down, calm down! I just heard it from others."
Gao Yuan smiled awkwardly.
Looking at this hot-tempered and hot-bodied casual cultivator of the same realm, he licked the corner of his mouth and said, "Han Ting, why are you in my cave?"
As soon as she saw Gao Yuan's expression, Han Ting knew what was on his mind and couldn't help but scold him again: "I'm right under him! He's making so many ding-dong noises that I can't calm down. Can't I come up and ask?"
"Oh, you were underneath him, and he made you restless, so you came up..."
Gao Yuan, who was always careful and respectful when dealing with Pang Jian and Luo Hongyan, couldn't help but say dirty words when facing Han Ting, a casual cultivator like him, and said with a playful smile: "I know."
Han Ting, who was teased, was not willing to be outdone. She glared at Gao Yuan and responded, "Your scoundrel friend was skinned by Jiu Yuan and hung on the mast. Why aren't you dead yet?"
Gao Yuan suddenly fell silent.
When he thought of Yuan Fei's miserable condition and that Jiu Yuan was still in Yuan Mang, he no longer had the heart to make fun of Han Ting.
"I'll teach you how to tease me again!"
After glaring at him fiercely, Han Ting stepped out of the stone gate and returned to her cave below.
Gao Yuan took a deep breath, forced a smile on his face again, and said to Pang Jian: "Brother, in addition to Zhao Yuanqi from Hongshan, there are also Yang Rui from Lieyang Sect, Xie Xiwen from Xinghe League, and Fang Boxuan from Xueyue."
"These few are all extremely young people in the Dongxuan realm, and they are also the young ancestors of the major sects."
"This time, they actually gathered in Yuanmang Fragmented Land."
Gao Yuan vividly described to Pang Jian the elders who came from various sects and the talented young people.
Or, he could be a wandering cultivator like Lei Kun, who is famous in the third realm.
"Lei Kun lives in Cave No. 57." Pang Jian said casually, "He left just before you came back."
"Lei Kun? He lives next to us, how is that possible?"
Gao Yuan was startled.
Like Han Ting, he was also surprised by Lei Kun's arrival.
"I guess he wants to find out the details about my sister and brother."
Pang Jian said in a deep voice.
As soon as these words came out, Gao Yuan immediately came to his senses and nodded: "He and Jiuyuan are also old friends, but he is different from Lingyun. He has the cultivation level of Concentrated Spirit Realm and his status is equal to Jiuyuan. Logically speaking, Jiuyuan does not have the ability to order him to do things for him."
Pang Jian shook his head to indicate that he didn't know the reason.
"Why hasn't your sister come back yet?"
Gao Yuan looked inside the cave suspiciously, frowned and said, "Go to the 35th floor and find Cao Laoguai's subordinates to sign up. It won't take that long."
Pang Jian's face darkened.
Calculating the time, they have been staying there for two days. Luo Hongyan went up to pay the spirit stones to register, and then showed the money and belongings in her hand, and she could get the token to attend the meeting.
If Luo Hongyan hadn't been delayed by anything, she should have returned long ago.
After thinking for a while, Pang Jian said uncertainly: "Maybe he is also asking about Yuan Mang's situation like you."
"Yes, it's possible." Gao Yuan nodded. He didn't ask any more questions, but said, "There are still ten days before the rally. There's no rush. You don't have to worry."
After saying this, he returned to his cave.
Pang Jian closed the stone door without thinking too much.
Although he was not quite sure how strong Luo Hongyan's real combat capability was, it seemed that Luo Hongyan had never suffered any loss since his flesh and blood were recast.
According to Luo Hongyan, no one can do anything to her unless they are at the level of a great cultivator in the Concentrated Mind realm.
This is also Cao Laoguai's Yuanmang. The place where Luo Hongyan registered is at the first peak, so nothing should go wrong.
Thinking of this, Pang Jian continued to study the many low-level and intermediate spiritual secrets in his hands.
On this day, when Pang Jian was establishing a connection with the Erosion Vine, a green leaf suddenly appeared at his heart.
The three magical green leaves were constantly releasing life energy, nourishing Pang Jian's flesh and blood regardless of whether he was practicing or not.
He had a vague feeling that if he was seriously injured again, his organs would heal even faster.
If he directly called upon the life energy in the three leaves, his self-healing ability would be improved to a higher level.
"The little tree knows how to be grateful and give back."
Pang Jian nodded secretly.
He knew that his efforts during this period were not in vain. The Erosion Vine, which knew how to give back, would never forget him every time it grew stronger.
A few days passed like this, and Pang Jian, who was not worried at first, gradually became anxious.
—Luo Hongyan still hasn’t returned.
Annoyed Pang Jian pushed open the stone door and came out of the cave. From the nineteenth floor of the first peak, he looked at the shorter peaks in the distance.
The fourth peak, the fifth peak, the sixth peak, his eyes swept over one mountain after another.
He saw that on the peaks of those mountains were parked the flying spiritual instruments of various major sects, and in the valleys and forests between the peaks, cloud sails could be seen everywhere.
"Is there any accident?"
Feeling uneasy, he hesitated for a moment, then walked up the stone steps to the 35th floor.
"No one is coming, the registration period has ended!"
A cultivator who was loyal to Cao Mang frowned at Pang Jian and said in a deep voice: "You are late. Prepare earlier next time and come back in three years!"
"I'm not signing up. My sister came here to sign up a while ago and then she disappeared."
Pang Jian described Ming Luo Hongyan's appearance: she was wearing a bright red long skirt and a veil on her face.
“I have some impression.”
The man thought for a moment, and the graceful figure of Luo Hongyan appeared in his mind. He said, "She paid the spirit stones, and after we examined her reserve of spirit stones, we gave her the token. I remember correctly that she went down at that time. Didn't she return to your cave?"
Pang Jian shook his head.
"Yuan Mang, only the First Peak is safe. Any form of conflict and fighting is strictly prohibited."
The man thought for a moment and said with a serious face, "I can assure you that no death has occurred on the First Peak! If she didn't return to your cave, she might have left the First Peak and wandered around other mountains."
What he meant was that Luo Hongyan’s disappearance had nothing to do with the First Peak.
Pang Jian didn't ask any more questions.
After returning to Cave No. 56 and closing the stone door, he remained silent with a frown on his face.
He was used to being with Luo Hongyan day and night, and his mood became more and more depressed because of Luo Hongyan's disappearance.
He was worried about Luo Hongyan's safety, but didn't know who to ask for information.
"Is it the Nine Yuan of the Blood Moon, or who else?"
He began to have wild thoughts.
Assuming that something had happened to Luo Hongyan, once he left the First Peak, he would most likely be killed immediately.
After cutting ties with Old Monster Cao, the only people he knew in Yuanmang Broken Land were the independent cultivator Gao Yuan, and... Qi Qingsong, who was treated as a distinguished guest by Old Monster Cao.
When he thought of Bagua City, he forced Qi Qingsong to cut off one of his arms. He did not consider himself and Qi Qingsong as friends.
Red Ginger Pear
Jiang Li, who couldn't even gather all the materials for marrow cleansing by herself, must have a low status in Hongshan. Pang Jian didn't think Jiang Li could help.
After thinking it over, he knocked on Gao Yuan's door and asked Gao Yuan to find out through his friends who were practicing as independent cultivators.
Hearing that Luo Hongyan had not shown up, Gao Yuan was also shocked. He paused his practice and said, "Don't worry, little brother. This is the first peak of Yuanmang. As long as she doesn't leave, there will be no danger! Wait for me, I'll ask my friends, don't worry!"
Knowing full well his own life and death, Gao Yuan, who was tied together with the siblings, hurriedly headed towards the cave below.
Half a day later.
Gao Yuan knocked on Pang Jian's stone door and said solemnly, "Someone saw your sister flying directly from the eighth floor of the first peak to the canyon below."
Pang Jian's expression changed.
The thing he was most worried about happened.
According to Old Monster Cao's rules, as long as Luo Hongyan does not leave the First Peak, no accidents will occur.
But once he stepped out of the First Peak, even in other areas of Yuanmang, even in other mountains and canyons, Cao Laoguai would not pay any attention to incidents such as private fights and assassinations.
"Several of my friends dare not leave the First Peak. They cannot find out more."
Gao Yuan had a sad face and was a little at a loss: "There are still a few days before the meeting starts. Maybe she was attracted by something and will come back in two days."
"Yes, I understand."
With a wave of his hand, Pang Jian signaled Gao Yuan to leave, and then closed the stone door.
The night-shining pearls on the rock wall of the cave still emitted the same brilliance, but after the stone door was closed, Pang Jian felt that the cave seemed to have become much darker than usual.
Just like his mood at the moment.
