The next day.
When Lu Ze arrived outside the Nurturing Spirit Hall, he spotted a familiar figure.
On the tall steps leading to the Nurturing Spirit Hall, Zhong Yi was climbing upward while glancing around nervously. Every so often, he would step forward with one foot before quickly pulling it back, looking utterly strange.
"Senior Brother Zhong, what are you doing?"
Lu Ze walked over and asked curiously.
Zhong Yi jumped in fright, quickly hopping back two steps before rapidly calming himself down.
"Nothing... nothing."
An awkward smile appeared on Zhong Yi's face as he hurriedly explained:
"Ahem, I felt that the spirit steps of the Nurturing Spirit Hall had fallen into disrepair over the years. Just now, I was measuring where they might have problems."
"I see, I see."
Lu Ze nodded cheerfully.
How could he not know that Zhong Yi had become obsessed with If You're a Cultivator, Descend a Hundred Levels to the point of losing himself?
He probably had a psychological shadow over stairs now, afraid that the steps would vanish or move away the moment he stepped on them.
"Junior Brother Lu, for the next few days... no, for the next few years, it would be best if you didn't leave the sect."
Zhong Yi patted Lu Ze's shoulder earnestly, his expression solemn.
As far as he knew, disciples from several other sects had bought Illusion Crystal Stones for If You're a Cultivator, Descend a Hundred Levels from the Artifact Forging Hall, intending to bring them back for their fellow disciples to experience.
He was worried that if Lu Ze went out in the future and encountered someone tormented by the illusion, something unfortunate might happen...
"Alright, Senior Brother Zhong."
Lu Ze nodded and said:
"Oh, right... I recently summarized some techniques for Jump Stab.
