A few minutes later, the conversation somehow turned to the Jiuyao Mountain Range and Jiuyao City.
"Sigh, life as a mercenary is getting harder and harder," Zhou Hu sighed. "The Demonic Beasts in the Jiuyao Mountain Range are somehow much more ferocious than before. Beasts that used to only appear in the depths of the mountain range can now be seen even on the outskirts."
"Why?" Bu Lige asked, frowning.
"How should I know?" Zhou Hu replied with a wry smile, sounding helpless.
Jiang Shengjun, who was on the side, seemed lost in thought. "Have you guys noticed? There are more and more unfamiliar cultivators in Jiuyao City lately, and yesterday there was a battle involving a mysterious expert..."
Jiang Shengjun suddenly remembered that the mysterious expert he was talking about was right beside him.
Jiang Shengjun glanced at Luo Chuan cautiously. Seeing that Luo Chuan showed no unusual reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Could it be that some supreme treasure has appeared in the Jiuyao Mountain Range?" someone said uncertainly.
At this remark, everyone fell silent.
After a few breaths, Zhou Hu broke the silence.
"Haha, what does a supreme treasure appearing have to do with us? If the sky falls, the tall ones will bear it. Don't overthink it!"
Hearing Zhou Hu's thoughtless words, everyone let out a wry smile.
However, they had to admit that his words made a lot of sense.
After chatting for a while longer, Zhou Hu and his four companions, along with Jiang Shengjun and Bu Lige, greeted Luo Chuan and left.
Instant Noodles provided a tenfold increase in cultivation speed for one hour, and he couldn't let it go to waste.
Now, the shop had returned to peace.
"Ziyan, do you know what happened in the Jiuyao Mountain Range?" After a while, Luo Chuan looked at Yao Ziyan, who was cultivating with her eyes closed behind the counter, and asked.
Yao Ziyan slowly opened her eyes, and a purple light flashed and disappeared.
She nodded. "An Ancient Ruin has appeared."
Ancient Ruin?
Hearing this unfamiliar term, Luo Chuan looked at Yao Ziyan with some confusion.
Yao Ziyan explained, "The Jiuyao Mountain Range is vast and boundless, almost spanning the entire Tianlan Continent. Jiuyao City is merely a city located a bit closer to the Jiuyao Mountain Range."
"Within the Jiuyao Mountain Range, there are countless Demonic Beasts, as well as endless opportunities and dangers, such as Ancient Ruins."
"According to legend, Ancient Ruins are the remnants or trials left behind by sects whose strength is unknown."
Luo Chuan nodded, understanding dawning on him.
"By the way, aren't you from the Royal Family of Beasts? The opening of the Ancient Ruins should be very important to you, right?" Luo Chuan asked.
Upon hearing this, a hint of anger appeared on Yao Ziyan's pretty face.
However, after seeing Luo Chuan's gaze, the anger dissipated and turned into calmness.
Yao Ziyan shook her head and sighed softly, "Under the influence of profit, Demonic Beasts and humans are all the same. If it weren't for the opening of the Ancient Ruins, and the betrayal of those guys, my identity wouldn't have been exposed."
Luo Chuan fell silent for a moment. He knew he might have touched upon something Yao Ziyan least wanted to recall.
"Do you need my help?" Luo Chuan asked earnestly after thinking for a moment.
She was his employee, and as the shop owner, he naturally had to help when she encountered difficulties.
Yes, that's right!
Luo Chuan thought to himself.
Hearing Luo Chuan's words, Yao Ziyan looked at his earnest face.
She was stunned at first, then broke into a smile. Her momentary radiance made Luo Chuan unable to help but stare.
"I feel like the life I have now is pretty good. Let those things be in the past..."
