Miss Shi went to the next cave.

As a monk who has already practiced fasting, abdominal pain must be an unprecedented and novel experience for her. Luo Yan sincerely hopes that after this lesson, her mental age can become more mature.

At least don't be too greedy for food and drink, which brings shame to us practitioners.

Of course, educating Miss Shi is just a side job. The most important thing at the moment is to figure out the mystery of the Five Qis Converging to the Origin Cave.

"Can your corpse read minds?" Luo Yan asked with a frown.

"What do you mean by 'my corpse'?" Kunlun Mirror protested his address. "It's not mind reading. It can only roughly sense your superficial thoughts. Just like last time in the secret realm of the Queen Mother of the West's Palace, it could sense that you had the intention to steal it."

"I remember that the demon also seems to have this ability." Luo Yan's tone became more suspicious.

"As long as you are proficient in illusion, sensing thoughts is the basic skill." Kunlun Mirror replied, "I will help you block its sensing first."

"So before, it was your fragment that sensed my thoughts and deliberately designed this maze according to the map in my memory." Luo Yan said with a gloomy face, "In order to lure me to go deeper and deeper."

"It may not be to lure you deeper." Kunlun Jing raised an objection, "Maybe they just want you to follow the original route and reach Chaoyuan Qi Channel smoothly. Then go back quickly after training. Instead of searching everywhere and having a chance to discover its existence."

"But now I know of its existence." Luo Yan sighed.

"So next, it will not be arranged according to the original route on the map." Kunlun Mirror also sighed.

"Last time it was a continuous rollback, this time it's changed to a great shift, right?" Luo Yan said with empty eyes, "Broken Mirror, how come you always come up with something new for me?"

"I'm already proficient in the power of time and space!" Kunlun Jing defended, "Time and space! Isn't manipulating time and space an instinct?"

"What should I do next?" Luo Yan asked impatiently, "If it connects several cave chambers end to end to form a circular route, won't I never be able to get out?"

"In theory, this is indeed possible." Kunlun Jing said seriously, "But don't worry, I can also interfere with its manipulation of the space here."

"You mean teleport?" Luo Yan asked doubtfully, "Don't let Shi Liuli see the clues."

"Of course I'm not teleporting you there!" Kunlun Mirror explained with a smile, "What if it interferes with the transmission? You might be buried somewhere under the sea just halfway through!"

"So, instead of teleporting us to the location of your fragments, we will spatially assemble the caves in front of us and connect them into a passable route." Luo Yan said thoughtfully, "Just like Huarong Road?"

"What is Huarong Dao?" Kunlun Jing asked curiously, "But it's roughly correct."

"If the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave is divided into areas with the cave chamber as the center, then each area is connected by a corridor that is ten feet high and half a foot wide."

"The fragments are trying to continuously combine and assemble these areas, so that even if you keep going down, you will get farther and farther away from it."

"However, I have prevented its assembly."

"That is to say." Luo Yan pondered for a moment and said, "The current terrain of the Five Qis Chao Yuan Cave has stopped changing."

"As long as I haven't lost the battle against it, the terrain will not change." Kunlun Mirror gave a positive answer. "Of course, it is different from what is recorded on the map. You have to explore it yourself."

"So, you won't lose to it, right?" Luo Yan asked in a tone that was 30% suspicious and 70% teasing. "It's the original body after all. It would be too embarrassing to lose to a fragment that has no intelligence and only instincts."

"No!" Kunlun Jing became angry. "You don't have to worry about me. Just take care of yourself! The route down here is very complicated!"

Kunlun Mirror stopped talking, so Luo Yan continued to think.

Today, the Wuqi Chaoyuan Cave has changed from a non-static simple maze to a static complex maze.

The former was carefully designed and adjusted at any time by the Kunlun Mirror fragments in order to conceal its own existence and allow Luo Yan to quickly find the Chaoyuan Qi meridian and leave.

When Luo Yan suddenly realized something was wrong, his intention had already failed. The fragments quickly disrupted the maze's topography, and A Jing, who noticed this, immediately took action to stop it, and finally fixed the maze into a static state that could no longer be changed.

In this way, it returns to being a pure exploratory activity.

"Woo." Shi Liuli came back from the cave next to him, looking a little listless, probably exhausted. "Junior brother, both my legs are numb."

"Let's find a place to sit first." Seeing Miss Shi was like a rabbit with drooping ears, Luo Yan was both angry and amused, so he teased her, "Will you eat anything you want in the future?"

"No more eating." Shi Liuli pursed her lips, "I have completed the marrow cleansing."

Luo Yan: ???

He slightly opened his eyes, as if trying to determine whether Shi Liuli's expression was fake or not. However, he only saw pure emotions in her eyes.

A feeling of both joy and regret that one has gotten what they wanted, but at a heavy price.

"I don't know why." Shi Liuli gathered the hem of his robe, found a clean spot on the ground and sat down, grinning, "All the remaining foul air in my bone marrow came out all at once... although the process was really painful."

"I see." Qing Ping Jian suddenly said, "The fish she ate before had white eyes and no vision, and was called 'Wu Zhuo'."

"There is an abyss in the East China Sea, whose depth is unknown. There is fish in it without turbidity, which is in accordance with the principle of yin and yang. Eating it can make your ears and eyes sharp, and cure all serious diseases... In short, this kind of fish only grows in the abyss where the turbid air is extremely dense and heavy, but eating it can cleanse people's turbid air. This point is similar to Chaoyuan Qi Channel."

Luo Yan: ...

You get what you want, right? So it's just invincible luck? Miss Shi, you are an unreasonable metaphysical expert...

Hmm, wait, it looks like that might come in handy now.

"Senior Sister!" Luo Yan suddenly said solemnly, shocking Shi Liuli, "This is bad!"

"What's wrong?" Miss Shi asked blankly.

"I took the wrong path!" Luo Yan showed a look of deep regret. "I remembered the steps on the map incorrectly somewhere earlier, and now I don't know where I am!"

"Oh." Shi Liuli nodded, not quite understanding, "But Junior Brother, you should still remember the way we came, right? So should we go back the same way?"

"No." Luo Yan smiled flatteringly and said, "Since we are here, let's explore the front first. If there are only dead ends, it's not too late to turn back. But since we are exploring off the map this time, how about letting Senior Sister choose the route?"

"But..." Shi Liuli was a little moved (he actually let me lead the way), and a little proud (my junior brother admitted his mistake), so he deliberately said with embarrassment, "Didn't we agree at the beginning that I should listen to you in the cave? Isn't this a bit inappropriate..."

"I must take back my arrogant words." Luo Yan smiled modestly and said, "Senior sister's good fortune is thousands of times better than my crude and clumsy wisdom."

"Now that I'm fortunately here with my senior sister, it's not my turn to continue to make decisions and interfere with the itinerary. Please use your unique intuition and luck to help me conquer this insignificant Five Qis Chao Yuan Cave."

"Can you please stop talking? I want to vomit!" In his mind, along with the flashing screen prompts of the false synchronization value, there was Kunlun Jing's almost unbearable cry.
