Xiao Ding gave a bitter laugh and said sincerely.

"Elder Jia, I wasn't lying just now. We really haven't gone down there." 

Xiao Li, who was supporting Xiao Ding, also nodded.

They indeed hadn't lied; it was Brother Zhang who went down, not them.

Jia Xingtian nodded, having only asked out of curiosity.

What was Queen Medusa looking for?

Jia Xingtian turned his gaze back to the cave entrance.

With a determined mind, he flashed down into the cave.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance. Xiao Li was about to say something but was stopped by Xiao Ding's look.

Xiao Li was startled and realized what was happening.

After years of cultivation, a Martial Emperor's eyesight and hearing were extremely powerful.

If they said something they shouldn't, Jia Xingtian might still be within earshot.

On the other side, Jia Xingtian passed through the underground passage and unfolded his Martial Qi wings to fly above the lava.

Frowning, he saw nothing but endless lava.

Feeling the intense heat, Jia Xingtian abandoned the idea of further exploration.

Queen Medusa had returned empty-handed, so there was no need for him to waste time.

Shaking his head, he returned to the surface, ignored the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, and flew straight back to the Jiamai Empire.

The Jiamai Empire's royal family was in a state of decline, with not even a single Martial King, and his old comrade was severely injured.

Unless something major happened, he usually stayed in the Imperial Capital.

Having been out for a long time, he had to return to the Imperial Capital to oversee things.

Abandoning the exploration of the lava was partly due to this reason.

Seeing Jia Xingtian leave, Xiao Ding finally relaxed.

...

At this moment, inside the System Space, Su Yun had seen all of Jia Xingtian's actions.

Raising an eyebrow, if Jia Xingtian had come, Queen Medusa must have left.

Su Yun didn't rush out and stayed in the System Space.

After three days and nights of treatment, Su Yun's injuries had healed, and his aura had become even stronger.

Although the process of refining the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire was extremely painful, it brought many benefits.

After the mysterious fire forged his body, his potential improved, and the capacity of his Martial Qi increased significantly. His physical body and meridians, after being destroyed and rebuilt, became even stronger.

Su Yun focused his mind on his dantian, guiding out the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire and running the Burning Cold Decision to evolve his martial technique!

In an instant, Su Yun's body was enveloped in green flames.

After half a day of agony, the Burning Cold Decision finally succeeded in swallowing the Blue Lotus Earth Core Fire.

Re-running the martial technique, the Burning Cold Decision now ran through several more meridians.

Low-Class Earth Rank Technique: Burning Cold Decision!

At the same time, a massive surge of energy rushed through his meridians!

Su Yun began to refine the energy with the Burning Cold Decision.

Two hours later, Su Yun's aura surged!

Five-Star Spirit Fighter!

Swallowing this massive energy, his strength had increased by four stars in one go!

Feeling the abundant Martial Qi in his body, a satisfied look flashed across Su Yun's face.

He didn't rush out immediately, as the situation outside was still unclear.

Survive by any means necessary!

Thus, Su Yun practiced in the System Space for two months.

The entrance above the lava hadn't been entered by anyone in these two months, so it should be safe...

In the System Space, Su Yun unfolded the Purple Cloud Wing and activated the Phantom Shadow Technique and Flame Concealment Technique before quietly appearing in the outside world.

Arriving above the lava, a wave of intense heat hit him.

Su Yun extended his soul perception.

No one.

Su Yun narrowed his eyes and cautiously approached the passage, fully embodying the spirit of survival.

After some time, Su Yun flew out into the open.

Nothing happened.

Su Yun felt relieved, not thinking his cautious behavior was in vain.

In this dog-eat-dog world, being too cautious was never a mistake.

Su Yun headed towards the Desert Iron Mercenary Group.

After all, they were famous supporting characters and Xiao Yan's two older brothers.

When Medusa left, Jia Xingtian appeared, so these two might have been saved.

Arriving at the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, Su Yun searched and found Xiao Ding and Xiao Li practicing in a courtyard.

Removing the Phantom Shadow Technique, he revealed himself.

"The two leaders."

Hearing this, the two Xiao brothers looked over, overjoyed.

"Brother Zhang!"

The three of them went to a secluded room.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li recounted the events that occurred on the surface after Su Yun went in.

Su Yun explained that he used a secret treasure from his sect to protect himself, which prevented the two Martial Emperors from discovering him. He then spent two months searching for treasures underground before coming out.

He glossed over the long time he spent underground.

After some conversation, Su Yun took out two scrolls.

One was a mid-grade Earth Rank martial technique, and the other was a low-grade Earth Rank combat skill.

These items were not of interest to him, but they were more than enough as a reward for the two Xiao brothers.

After some polite exchanges, Su Yun left.

After Su Yun left, Xiao Li held the scroll in his hand, unable to let it go.

It was a mid-grade Earth Rank martial technique with lightning attributes, perfect for him.

"Alright, stop drooling and put it away," Xiao Ding laughed and scolded.

"Hehe." 

Xiao Li laughed and changed the subject.

"Big Brother, do you think the treasure Brother Zhang is looking for is that powerful, to even attract Queen Medusa?"

Xiao Ding shook his head and said to Xiao Li.

"How would a mere Spirit Fighter like me know? Since Brother Zhang doesn't want to tell us, it's better not to know. Knowing too much can lead to disaster."

...

Following the desert map given by Hai Bo Dong, Su Yun arrived in the heart of the desert and spent seven days finally finding the Sand Mandala he needed.

Su Yun unfolded the Purple Cloud Wing and started his return journey, planning to head straight to Rock Desert City.

Actually, he was a bit regretful.

Qing Lin, the owner of the Green Snake Three Flower Pupil, he still hadn't encountered.

Previously, he had asked the two Xiao brothers to keep an eye out for her, and when he visited the Desert Iron Mercenary Group, he had inquired, but there was no news.

Su Yun shook his head, feeling disappointed.

After some time, Su Yun flew near Rock Desert City, retracted the Purple Cloud Wing, revealed himself, and entered the city.

After entering the city, Su Yun headed straight for Hai Bo Dong's map shop.

On his way, the mechanical voice of the system suddenly sounded.

"Ding, detected sufficient great fortune individuals, system meets upgrade conditions, upgrading for one day.

During this period, all system functions will be disabled.

Please bear with us.

Look forward to System 2.0!"

The voice in his mind made Su Yun pause.

His expression showed a hint of surprise.

On one hand, he had long been prepared for the system's upgrade, having speculated about it before.

On the other hand...

Su Yun looked around.

In his view, the system should immediately upgrade when he came into contact with enough great fortune individuals.

Like when he met Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, it activated immediately without delay.

So, who was the great fortune individual that appeared nearby?
