Leng Ning heard these words, and a blush appeared on her face!

However, her long-standing aloof personality left her unsure of how to react!

But her shy yet not shy appearance amused Su Chen greatly!

"Why are you laughing?"

Seeing the smile on Su Chen's face, Leng Ning spoke somewhat irritably.

"Miss Leng has quite a temper now, can't even let me laugh?"

Su Chen thought that although Leng Ning was still somewhat indifferent, her personality had already changed a bit since they first met!

Even though Leng Ning's personality had changed some, she couldn't stand Su Chen teasing her like this, so she turned and went into the house!

Actually, ever since she met Su Chen, her heart had gradually been occupied by this man!

It was precisely because of him that she had undergone changes she hadn't even realized herself!

Su Chen chuckled and followed her into the house.

Of course, he understood Leng Ning's personality, so he didn't continue teasing her, just chatted casually instead.

Leng Ning's cultivation had made significant progress recently, and she was currently breaking through to the Divine Sea Realm!

Of course, this was also thanks to the portion of Red Mysterious Stone Su Chen gave her!

Su Chen was never stingy with those he cared about, especially since he couldn't use several thousand Red Mysterious Stones all by himself!

Besides giving them to Leng Ning, he also gifted some to Nangong Xi, that little girl!

After the two talked for over an hour, Su Chen left.

Returning to his room at the inn, he continued cultivating.

Although he had reached the Tongxuan Realm, Su Chen did not intend to stop, instead hoping to continue growing!

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed, and his cultivation reached the Second Turn of the Tongxuan Realm!

That day, he was cultivating when suddenly footsteps sounded in the courtyard.

He initially assumed it was Nangong Xi or Leng Ning, but upon further listening, it didn't quite sound like them, so he went outside!

"Princess Ji Ya?"

Upon stepping outside and seeing her, Su Chen froze in surprise!

"Mr. Su didn't expect me to come?"

Ji Ya smiled lightly and said.

"Indeed, I didn't expect you."

Su Chen shook his head:

"Please come in, Princess Ji Ya."

Su Chen's room was quite spacious, with several rooms, since he chose the most expensive option!

"I wonder what brings Princess Ji Ya here today?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

"Mr. Su is my savior. You don't have to call me Princess Ji Ya in the future, just Ji Ya."

Ji Ya said with a gentle smile.

"Then you don't need to call me Mr. Su either, just use my name!"

Su Chen was indifferent to titles, so he preferred using names with those he was somewhat familiar with!

"Alright, Su Chen, I really came today to discuss something!"

Ji Ya immediately said:

"Have you heard of the Qu Minghe?"

"Qu Minghe?"

Su Chen frowned slightly and then shook his head:

"Never heard of it."

Though he read many books in the Scripture Pavilion recently and knew more about Yunxiao Continent than before, it was all surface-level!

After all, he was searching for clues about the Spring of Life and the mystery of his own background, merely skimming everything else!

"You may know, there are fifteen dynasties across the Eastern Continent, and Qu Minghe is located in the center of these fifteen dynasties!"

Subsequently, Ji Ya gave Su Chen a brief overview of Qu Minghe, which left Su Chen astonished!

According to Ji Ya's description, Qu Minghe extends for hundreds of thousands of kilometers, with its widest point spanning hundreds of kilometers!

Moreover, the banks of the river are densely forested!

"Ji Ya, you specially came to me and mentioned Qu Minghe, there must be a reason, right?"

Su Chen asked curiously.

"Of course."

Ji Ya nodded and said:

"There's something very mysterious about Qu Minghe. Every ten years, hundreds of tombs emerge from the water's surface, known as the Tomb Clusters!"

"I haven't seen it myself, but I've heard that the Tomb Clusters are enormous, far surpassing ordinary palaces!"

"Go on."

Su Chen, upon hearing this, became intrigued, hundreds of tombs hovering above water, truly fascinating!

"The Tomb Clusters hold numerous treasures, King Level weapons and cultivation techniques are abundant, and occasionally there are higher-level items, so whenever the ten-year mark approaches, Minor Supreme Realm martial artists head there!"

Ji Ya continued:

"However, the most enticing part isn't these cultivation resources, but a legend that says the Tomb Clusters definitely contain a main tomb!"

"The main tomb belongs to an exceptionally powerful predecessor, whose cultivation is beyond imagination. If you can find and enter the main tomb, you might inherit their legacy!"

Su Chen processed this information and asked:

"Why the Minor Supreme Realm?"

"Because of the aquatic monster beasts!"

Ji Ya explained:

"This is also the critical point I wanted to discuss with you, Qu Minghe is not a peaceful place!"

"On the contrary, it's full of dangers, and the most common and greatest danger comes from tens of thousands, sometimes hundreds of thousands, of aquatic monster beasts!"

"The higher one's cultivation, the more easily the aura is detected by these aquatic monster beasts, but if the cultivation is too low, it's no different from courting death!"

"That's why people concluded that Minor Supreme Realm martialists are most suitable!"

Ji Ya looked at Su Chen and said:

"However, this brings up another issue, there are too many Minor Supreme Realm martialists across the Eastern Continent, many aren't killed by aquatic monster beasts but rather die at the hands of others due to fighting over treasures and such!"

"There was even a time when from the fifteen dynasties, hundreds to thousands of Minor Supreme Realm martialists ended up dead or injured!"

Su Chen understood, where there are people and interests, conflicts are bound to arise!

"These dynasties realized the situation couldn't continue, as Minor Supreme Realm martialists are vital forces for each dynasty, thus they agreed that only young people could venture there from now on!"

"This greatly improved the situation since young people reaching the Minor Supreme Realm are incredibly rare!"

Su Chen nodded in agreement, this was indeed a sensible approach!

As far as he knew, in the entire Great Yan Empire, aside from Ji Ya, there might be one or two young individuals who reached the Supreme Realm!

Of course, he was an exception, although he hadn't stepped into the Minor Supreme Realm, his abilities already matched it!

"Since you came to me today and brought up this topic, is the ten-year mark approaching, and you want to invite me along?"

Su Chen asked.

"Correct, the ten-year mark is in two months, and I came to invite you to join us then!"

Ji Ya didn't deny her intention.
