"The road here is really complicated..."

After darting into the cave, although he temporarily escaped the pursuit of the old grandmaster behind him, he himself seemed to have fallen into a maze.

The passage was extremely deep and interconnected; after walking a short segment, he could no longer recognize the way he came, almost completely unaware of where he should exit.

However, Qin Fang was not in a hurry. He rummaged through the Props Box and pulled out a military detector, a trophy obtained when he destroyed the Hand of the Devil Mercenary Corps. Now it came in handy.

Although this detector could also do satellite positioning, Qin Fang was now inside the mountain, where even the strongest signals couldn't penetrate. However, aside from that, the detector had other functions.

For instance... ultrasonic automatic scanning, and so on.

This was the function Qin Fang was using now. He wasn't quite sure of its exact principles, but it could lead him out of this labyrinth-like cave.

There was only one path when Qin Fang entered, and although the cave didn't seem frightening initially, accidentally slipping into this confusing, branching labyrinth was quite frustrating.

Fortunately, Qin Fang had plenty of tools. He took out everything that could be useful, such as compasses, without leaving anything out.

This made it much easier for Qin Fang. In such caves, the worst thing was walking in circles. Now, he only needed to stick to one direction and go all the way; even if the path was wrong, after walking a few times, he would find the right way.

Qin Fang's Scouting Skill was also in constant use, ensuring there were no issues with his tools, like the compass being affected by magnetic interference, causing incorrect directions.

In this way, it was tantamount to using the Scouting Skill to find the way back indirectly...

Although this process was quite complicated and troublesome, fortunately, Qin Fang was lucky. After about two hours of walking, he began to feel a slight chill.

"Almost at the Cold Abyss..."

Although the Thousand-Year Cold Jade had been taken by Qin Fang, the Cold Abyss had been nurtured for so many years that the temperature was already extremely low.

It would likely take decades for the temperature to return to normal. The water in the Cold Abyss, the surrounding stone walls, and so on were all seemingly assimilated by the Thousand-Year Cold Jade. Although they couldn't become the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, they could still become a special cold-attributed stone.

Moreover, with countless Cold Jade Ice Crystals contained in the Cold Abyss water, it ensured that the Cold Abyss water would remain unchanged for many years to come.

This was why Qin Fang was determined to secretly take away the Thousand-Year Cold Jade. After all, even if the Thousand-Year Cold Jade was removed, the Ryu Family would find it hard to detect, and the Yunluo Tea Tree would continue to grow...

Even the Seven Stars Grass would continue to grow until it matured without any issues.

"I wonder if the old man is still around?"

As he approached the Cold Abyss again, Qin Fang couldn't help but feel a bit worried.

The old grandmaster's strength was too formidable, and Qin Fang was still no match. If that person insisted on being difficult, Qin Fang could only flee.

"The person is gone?"

After a few more minutes, Qin Fang could already see the position of the Cold Abyss on the small map. Meanwhile, he noted the surrounding environment, yet the old grandmaster and his mid-master-level expert were nowhere to be seen on the small map, not knowing where they had gone.

"That's good, let's hurry and leave..."

As long as the old grandmaster wasn't around, Qin Fang had nothing to fear and immediately set off quickly on the way back. There was only one road there, so getting lost wasn't a concern.

Along the way, he still saw no one, neither the old grandmaster nor the two, nor even Liu Xianjun and the others. The entire cave seemed eerily silent.

But this was good too, as it allowed Qin Fang to leave safely.

"Phew~~ Finally got out!"

When Qin Fang exited the cave, he couldn't help but sigh lightly and quickly melted into the dark, swiftly moving toward his room.

"He actually escaped?"

Just as Qin Fang was leaving, an old man with gray hair emerged from near the trap mechanism along the stone wall, looking at Qin Fang's departing figure, he shook his head and chuckled.

However, it was quite strange that he seemed to have no ill intentions towards Qin Fang, almost as if he admired him... Qin Fang himself didn't know this, otherwise, he would have found it very peculiar.

Aside from that old grandmaster, there wasn't a single person in the Ryu Family who could match Qin Fang, so naturally, they couldn't detect his comings and goings.

Even after Qin Fang returned, no one noticed any abnormalities, so the matter was settled, and Qin Fang reverted to his original appearance.

When he left earlier, Qin Fang obviously wouldn't use his own face, as that would make it too easy to be discovered, so he deliberately used someone else's face. This way, even if discovered, no one would suspect Qin Fang.

That old grandmaster was the same. Although he seemed to have seen Qin Fang's appearance, that was just an illusion. If the Ryu Family tried to investigate, they would never be able to find that person.

Moreover, very few people even knew about the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, and now that it's sitting in Qin Fang's props box, even a hundred thorough searches wouldn't find it.

"The Thousand-Year Cold Jade is finally in hand..."

At this moment, Qin Fang let out a long sigh of relief. With the Thousand-Year Cold Jade in hand, this trip to Korea was considered a success.

The Thousand-Year Cold Jade was too dominant; its piercing coldness was really not suitable for use in this room, as it could easily reveal secrets.

Qin Fang planned to build an ice cellar type of training room once he returned home, place the Thousand-Year Cold Jade inside, and cultivate there; it would surely yield twice the results with half the effort.

Of course, the benefits of the Thousand-Year Cold Jade were not just that. It's also a very rare and precious medicinal material that can be used in many prescriptions to concoct medicines. It not only increases the success rate of medicine refining but also effectively enhances the potency of the medicine...

The piece of Thousand-Year Cold Jade in Qin Fang's hand wasn't particularly large, but it definitely wasn't small either, more than twice the size of an average washbasin. Even if Qin Fang sat on it, there would still be a considerable portion left.

With such a large piece of Thousand-Year Cold Jade, who knows how many medicinal concoctions it could make...

But for now, Qin Fang could only temporarily store it in the props box, to be used when needed; right now was not suitable.

The night wasn't particularly quiet, but it certainly wasn't lively either. The Ryu Family even thought it was just a peaceful night, seamlessly transitioning through it.

The matter of Liu Xianjun's rebellion seemed not to have been exposed, but he directly disappeared from the Ryu Family. As for where he went or how he was dealt with, only a few people in the Ryu Family knew, and Qin Fang, as an outsider, certainly didn't know.

This was somewhat expected. After all, what Liu Xianjun did was truly unforgivable, and if left unchecked, it could be a catastrophe for the Ryu Family.

Liu Xianjun not only rebelled but also colluded with outsiders attempting to covet the Ryu Family's treasures. If he went unpunished, it would be far too unreasonable.

In any case, this matter had nothing to do with Qin Fang. Although he was a witness, no one knew he was a witness, so he naturally could pretend to know nothing.

Having acquired the Thousand-Year Cold Jade, Qin Fang had a rather comfortable sleep that night, waking up leisurely the next day when the sun was high in the sky.

Just as Qin Fang was planning to go out to practice punches and warm up like usual, Liu Xianhe came looking for him, bringing an odd piece of news.

Someone from the Fu Family had arrived!

This not only surprised the Ryu Family but even Qin Fang found it very strange.

"The Fu Family?"

Qin Fang was not hearing this family name for the first time; it was a renowned martial family in Korea, and it was quite prominent even in East Asia.

"What are they doing here?"

Qin Fang was perplexed, as the Fu Family held a significant position. Not only were they supreme in Korea, but they also had a bit of fame in East Asia.

Although the Fu Family couldn't compare to the ancient sects in the mainland of the Dragon Country, their lineage from the Master of Yijian, Fu Cailin, was formidable, and there might be some very outstanding talents in the Fu Family.

In recent years, the Fu Family had been rivaling with the Cui Family, essentially in constant conflict, and had always been dismissive of those smaller families behind them.

A family that couldn't even produce a grandmaster-level expert couldn't possibly catch the Fu Family's attention.

This is why the Fu Family and the Cui Family rarely teamed up with other second-tier families despite their clashes. Part of the reason was those second-tier families' reluctance to get involved, and another part was that the Fu and Cui families looked down on them...

But this time, it was quite strange. The Cui Family sent Cui Zheming, and the Fu Family surprisingly also sent people over. This was extremely unusual.

"Could it be they're here because of me?"

Seeing Liu Xianhe looking like he had something to say but hesitated, Qin Fang also had a pretty good idea and couldn't help muttering to himself, unsure of what the Fu Family was planning.
