Third day morning.
Chen Linjian and bunch had already been waiting in the Library.
Other than Chen Linjian, Ye Ziyun, and Shen Yue are also present. Chen Linjian belongs to the Divine Family, while Ye Ziyun belongs to the Snow Wind Family and Shen Yue belongs to the Sacred Family. They have known each other since they were little.
"He didn't came!" Ye Ziyun thought inside as she saw that Nie Li was absent.
"Ye Ziyun, We should travel together, I will make sure to protect you. " Shen Yue asked gentlemanly trying to creep near her. He threw a glance towards his lackeys, signalling them to make sure no one disturbs them.
"I am good. Chen Linjian, I think we should get going!" Ye Ziyun answered feeling a bit annoyed because of his constant persistence.
Chen Linjian's gaze fell onto her. He faintly smiled while saying,"Okay! It seems we're all here. I think it's about time we set off!"
All thirty six people prepared some essential items such as food, camping tents, and hunting crossbows before setting off.
Their adventure this time is done secretly, so it was very low-profile, telling others that they are going to the mountain valley to practice.
The group of people were walking on the street, with Ye Ziyun and Shen Yue walking right behind the team. He kept trying to make small talks to her and trying to improve their relationship.
This team of adventurers went on their way, with great desire to explore and excavate lots of treasures.
The group of people left Glory City, advancing forward on a rugged path on St. Ancestral Mountains.
The trip to Ancient Orchid City Ruins would take about five to six days of travelling. It's still possible that they would be subjected to Demon Beasts attacks when camping in the wild.
But unknown to them, someone has already embarked on the journey towards the Ancient Orchid City Ruins.
Far away from the group, a solitary figure wrapped in a grey robe moved in an uniform and constant speed. This person was Nie Li, He left the Glory City two days prior to the group's established time. He was obviously travelling at a great speed because of being alone and not effected by anyone's burden.
Nie Li's has a great advantage in distinguishing the dangerous areas with his enhanced accurate intuition, combined with A.I.Chip scanning he has a greater convenience. Currently he's is a bronze rank Demon Spiritualist and general demon beast wouldn't be able to harm him. Not to mention that the route that he is taking is a rather safer route.
Nie Li had a great assets value so he didn't hesitate to purchase lots of supplies, a full body Armor, half a dozen of spatial rings, some attack inscription and some expensive healing herbs. He also spent quite a sum to purchase a map marking the route between Glory city and Ancient Orchid City Ruins.
Nie Li didn't wanted to travel with the group, because he knew being introduced by Ye Ziyun will attract jealously and malicious intentions from a specific group of kids, if not all of them. Actually, he doesn't care much about that but he cannot be bothered with them either. Nie Li became clear of one thing and that being, only powerful and talented people are recognised and considered equal for a nobleman to befriend him. He has two option, either waste his time sucking up to a Noble of great background or invest himself in becoming a powerful cultivator. Which choice he picked was no brainer.
Nie Li is also clear of the fact that even if he finds something of great value they will definitely encircle him to rip him off, he is the easiest target since he has no fearsome family background neither a great strength. He would be able to gain almost negligible benefits, as for trusting Ye Ziyun. No thank you, he is not going to leave his safety in hands of someone who always finds a way to conveniently only think about themselves.
For instance, even if she can protect him. She will definitely not able to mediate a equal footing, for him to gain anything.
'In this world, if you have sufficient strength you can make everyone bow down to you. All pretense of being a commoner or untalented is thrown out of the window, Even the so-called Noblemen would die at an opportunity to establish friendship with you.' Nie Li thought as he again picked up his speed, Nie Li is using this outing to shape himself.
For two day constantly, he has been shifting between walking and running. He has not rested for a moment except for meditating and eating. Even if he feels tired or in pain he doesn't stop, previously he has created an enhancement pill, which can revitalize his muscles and body to gain great nourishment.
Although he had to make sure to no overdo it and exhaust himself though, one cannot be sure when they encounter a dangerous situation.
