This was Luo Chen's first time setting foot in a Third-Order Cave Mansion on Sky Wave Peak.
The moment he entered, he sensed spiritual energy every bit as dense as that of a Weak Third Order Spirit Land.
And this was only the cave mansion's reception hall.
How dense would the spiritual energy be inside the Cultivation Room, where it was strongest?
If he cultivated there, how many times faster would his progress be?
While he was still reeling, an indifferent voice reached his ears.
"You certainly know how to keep someone waiting."
Luo Chen's heart tightened.
He knew she meant that, after returning to Skybillow, he had delayed visiting her for so long that she had even needed to send someone to summon him.
Such discourtesy toward a Golden Core Immortal was unthinkable for a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
He immediately cupped his fists and gave a Daoist salute.
"Please forgive me, Immortal. A woman dear to me was gravely injured when her attempt to reach Foundation Establishment failed. Since returning, I've devoted myself to healing her."
"And Fellow Daoist Dantai told me you were in seclusion, so I waited a few more days before coming to pay my respects."
With that, he lowered his head and fell silent, looking every bit the penitent.
Where he could not see, Heartless Immortal's expression changed.
Healing a woman dear to him?
Only after a long pause did she ask coolly, "How is she now?"
Luo Chen raised his head and explained her condition in detail.
At the end, he sighed. "If I'd returned early with you, perhaps none of this would have happened. She suffered such a grievous injury because of me. I must do everything I can to heal her and help her set foot on the path of cultivation again."
