At the same time, Lu Ming, the destined protagonist, who had just arrived at Longhu Mountain, was rushing towards the Blackwood Forest.
From within his necklace, his beautiful master's ethereal voice slowly emerged: "Xiao Ming... my spiritual sense has previously observed this place."
"The true opportunity should be hidden within this forest."
Upon hearing his beautiful master's words, Lu Ming's expression showed a hint of smugness.
"I will seize this opportunity at Longhu Mountain!"
"Thank you, Master, for your guidance. When I become a Daoist of the Qing Yun Dao Sect, I will definitely find a way to help you forge a physical body!"
Although his beautiful master was in a spirit state, her perception was extraordinary. Relying on her insights, he had acquired countless secret treasures and opportunities over the past year!
Clearly, this time would be no different!
Just then, Lu Ming happened to stumble upon an opportunity, reaping a wave of significant benefits. Lin Ang was about to return to the sect.
"Brother Lin Ang."
As disciples of the same sect, Lu Ming cupped his fists upon seeing Lin Ang.
Lin Ang nodded in return.
After exchanging greetings, Lin Ang departed.
According to the original plot, Lu Ming's arrival at Longhu Mountain today was not only to seize its opportunity but also to meet the destined heroine. He would face the disciples of the Baiyue Daozong and the Baiyue Sect, showcasing the heroine's tenacity and earning her favor.
Longhu Mountain was meant to be the first major turning point in the plot.
However, Lu Ming at this moment was completely oblivious to the seriousness of the situation.
Just after meeting Lin Ang, a look of doubt appeared on his face.
"Lin Ang? Why is he, a cripple from the first year, at Longhu Mountain?"
"Is it also for the opportunity here?"
Lu Ming pondered for a moment, then smiled triumphantly: "Heh... It seems he knows he'll be expelled from the outer sect in a month and is unwilling to accept it. He's dreaming of an opportunity..."
"In this world, there's never a shortage of idiots eager to defy fate."
Hearing Lu Ming's words, his beautiful master in the necklace spoke up: "Xiao Ming, I sense that this person is not simple."
"Never underestimate others."
Lu Ming felt a little helpless, wondering why his master cared so much about a cripple who had lost all his bloodline. Nevertheless, he nodded and said, "I understand, Master."
As Lu Ming finished speaking, he noticed an extremely luxurious convoy not far ahead.
The entire convoy was accompanied by thousands of people, an extraordinary display of power. Such a procession was typically reserved for a Daozi's travels.
"Is that... Daozi's convoy?"
"Has Daoist Ruohan returned from her quiet cultivation?"
Seeing the convoy, Lu Ming's expression showed intense joy!
Especially when he mentioned 'Ruohan Daozi,' his tone was filled with excitement and yearning!
Qiu Ruohan, the female Daoist of Qingyun Daozong!
She was the celestial maiden of Qingyun Daozong, the number one beauty in the entire Qingyun Domain!
Her talent was no less than Ye Cangxue's!
It could be said that Lu Ming's main reason for joining the Qing Yun Dao Sect was Qiu Ruohan!
When they were in the academy under the Qingyun Daozong, Qiu Ruohan was the top student, incredibly dazzling.
For Qiu Ruohan's sake, Lu Ming diligently studied his way from the academy and joined Qingyun Daozong.
He undertook countless life-threatening missions and finally succeeded in becoming an inner sect disciple!
Through his own efforts and talent, he had finally earned the right to view Qiu Ruohan as an equal.
Just ahead, not far away, Qiu Ruohan was wearing a cyan gauze dress, her perfect figure faintly visible, like a celestial fairy descending to the mortal world.
Her face was carved from jade, cool and gorgeous.
"Ruohan..."
Lu Ming hadn't seen Qiu Ruohan since he was expelled to the outer sect, and now, seeing her again, his tone was a little hasty. He then realized his slip of the tongue.
He was now just an ordinary outer sect disciple, while she was the supreme goddess of the entire Qing Yun Dao Sect.
Lu Ming hastily cupped his hands and said, "I've seen Daoist Ruohan."
Qiu Ruohan nodded slightly upon seeing Lu Ming.
Lu Ming was someone she was quite familiar with. Initially, he had boundless talent in the inner sect, but because he was too focused on pursuing breakthroughs, his foundation became unstable, and he suffered a backlash.
She had later heard rumors within the sect about why Lu Ming practiced so diligently. She felt a pang of self-blame.
Had she known, she would have persuaded Lu Ming to let go of those thoughts.
