When Ji Xian and Ling Ling returned to the Desperate Cave.
This place has been taken over by monsters.
Various monsters roam the area.
The guards who were originally stationed here all retreated to a place more than a kilometer away.
Ji Xian casually eliminated a few monsters and then went to find the others.
The group set up many simple tents here.
Dean Tuoba Yin is also here.
He was seriously injured and could not move easily.
Kunlun Imperial Capital is a secluded place with extremely backward medical care. Even if it is moved, it cannot be cured. It is better to leave it here and wait for a miracle.
When Ji Xian saw the dean, he was covered in bandages.
It is said that he was burned by flames and then had a stone pillar pierce his chest, and there was no hope for him.
The dean is in a coma.
Ji Xian immediately took out the regeneration agent and injected it into the dean.
Not long after, the dean woke up.
He was somewhat surprised to see Ji Xian and Ling Ling beside him.
Ji Xian asked, "Are you feeling better?"
Tuoba Yin replied, "I feel better."
Ji Xian nodded and injected the dean with a low-level gene enhancement drug.
Tuoba Yin asked in confusion, "What is this?"
Ji Xian took out one hundred vials of basic gene enhancement potion and one hundred vials of regeneration potion and gave them to Tuoba Yin.
"I'm giving you the technology from the outside world, the medicine to strengthen your body, and the medicine to heal your body, as a way of repaying your kindness in teaching me."
Tuoba Yin had already noticed Ji Xian's strange behavior, so he accepted it without hesitation.
Having personally experienced the benefits of the potion, he couldn't help but exclaim, "This is good stuff!"
Ji Xian then asked, "I wonder if that princess has been rescued yet?"
Tuoba Yin was in a coma and unaware of the situation.
At that moment, a tall man with bandages wrapped around his arms and neck, looking melancholy, walked in.
This is the city lord of Kunlun Imperial City. Just now, when the dean woke up, the medical staff next to him went to inform him.
City Lord Murong Jue said, "That's great, Tuoba Yin, you're finally awake. I was so worried."
Murong Jue's expression remained unchanged; he still looked preoccupied.
Tuoba Yin said, "I'm alright now. Where's your daughter? Has she been rescued?"
Murong Jue shook his head: "So much time has passed, she's probably long gone, there's no need to waste any more manpower."
Tuoba Yin exclaimed in surprise, "Are you going to give up on her?"
Murong remained silent, but her eyes were red, which said it all.
Tuoba Yin tried to get up: "I'm all better now, I'll go save them."
Tuoba Yin had just used the regeneration potion and was probably not fully recovered yet. He had some difficulty getting up, so Ji Xian quickly helped him up and told him not to move.
Ji Xian said, "Murong Baixue has also done me a favor, so leave this matter to me."
Tuoba Yin immediately refused: "No, you're still a student, how can you..."
Ji Xian grasped Tuoba Yin's hand: "Take a good look at my rank."
Tuoba Yin sensed it for a moment and exclaimed in surprise, "Sixth Rank! When did you reach the sixth rank?"
Ji Xian smiled and said, "Do you still think I'm not good enough?"
Tuoba Yin said carefully, "You are stronger than I thought, but we still need to be cautious at this time."
Ji Xian said, "Counting it up, Murong Baixue has been captured and locked in the cave for two days now, and her fate is unknown. No matter what, I must go in. Even if she is dead, I must eliminate the spiders inside and avenge her."
With red eyes, Murong Jue said, "I support you. No matter the outcome, I will owe you a favor when you come out. You can tell me any wishes you have, and I will do my best to help you if I can."
Ji Xian thought for a moment and said, "I don't have any wishes. I know there's a rule here that once you enter the barrier, you're not allowed to leave. I just hope you can allow me to leave. Of course, I will come back to visit you from time to time. Will you agree to this request?"
Tuoba Yin thought for a moment and said, "Since you want to leave, then go ahead. As for the future, you don't need to come back."
Ji Xian looked at Tuoba Yin with surprise.
Tuoba Yin had been kind to him, and Ji Xian did not want to be an ungrateful person.
Tuoba Yin guessed Ji Xian's thoughts and said, "The city lord is right. Since you have gone out, you don't need to come back. In fact, we know more or less about what is happening in the outside world. It is precisely because we are isolated from the world that we have avoided the disasters brought by war."
Ji Xian nodded. It's good to talk this out. Their answer isn't important. Whether they don't allow him to leave or not allow him to come back, Ji Xian won't listen. He'll still leave if he wants to, and he'll still come back to visit if he wants to. There's no need to dwell on it now.
Ji Xian: "Enough of the small talk, I need to get into the Desperate Cave as soon as possible."
“Alright!” Murong Jue added, “I will have the strongest person in the capital accompany you into the cave.”
Ji Xian wanted to refuse, but seeing Murong Jue's resolute expression, he didn't.
Outside the Desolate Cave, creatures occasionally emerge.
Many people were lying in ambush nearby, ready to kill any creatures that managed to escape.
The person Murong Jue arranged was an elderly man with a refined and otherworldly air.
He has a demeanor somewhat like the dean.
He accompanied Ji Xian and Lingling into the cave.
"You young people are truly formidable. I heard you've already reached the sixth rank at such a young age."
The old man spoke with a serious and earnest expression.
Ji Xian asked with curiosity, "May I ask who you are?"
"I am Tuoba Chen. I used to work at the academy and taught many students. But I knew that staying in the academy would prevent me from exploring stronger methods, so I left the school. Now that I see how formidable you are, I can take this opportunity of trial to teach you a thing or two."
It turned out he was an old professor from the academy, and he shared the same surname as Tuoba Yin. No wonder his demeanor was somewhat similar to Tuoba Yin's.
