"That's right! But I missed it..."
Xiu Ran nodded at Hu Buwei with a half-smile, then tilted his head as if he suddenly thought of something and asked.
"Oh right! Ten thousand years ago, you also entered a newly discovered secret ruin! If I remember correctly, you were hiding in the shadows of the broken walls!"
"Ah~! You actually discovered me... Hehe, I'm sorry! You were all too powerful back then! I didn't dare show up so easily."
Hu Buwei smiled shyly and tried to brush it off.
"You don't dare show up? But later, we had a great chat in a teahouse! Oh, and I have to thank you for telling me the date of the Ancient Sword Star's arrival!!! Humph~!"
Xiu Ran was still smiling at first, but later he hummed softly.
Ning Ping's mind moved, and a strange idea emerged. He couldn't help but look at the two of them and found it very funny.
After the Ancient Sword Star descends every six times, the time of its arrival also changes drastically. Calculating the time, it seems to have been exactly ten thousand years ago.
If nothing unexpected happened, it was probably because Hu Buwei provided the wrong time for the arrival of the Ancient Sword Star, which caused the other party to miss the opportunity.
"Ahem...accident, that was just a calculated accident!"
Hu Buwei looked embarrassed and kept saying it hurriedly.
"You old fox! That time you went to Ancient Sword Star, you were just trying to get the Tianyan Ding! Humph!"
Hong Shi, who was standing by, also had a cold expression on his face and snorted inwardly.
"Two brothers! It was just an accident! I originally wanted to call you two along, but then someone was targeting me. To avoid getting you into trouble, I had to leave early. Look, when I came out of Ancient Sword Star, I was also blocked by someone. I even nearly died!"
Hu Buwei explained with a bitter face, and at this time he felt very regretful in his heart. Why did he come in for no reason? This would only make things more troublesome for him.
"Alright! It's all over now, and I don't have many days left! I'm only bringing this up now for fun!"
At this time, Xiu Ran smiled and turned the page.
"Yes, yes! Let's get over it! I never thought that we would meet today in the Tianyan Cauldron. This is truly fate!"
Hu Buwei felt relieved when he saw that the other party no longer dwelled on the past.
"That's right! You never know what's going on! You never know what's going on!"
The three of them were looking around with emotion at this moment, as if they were reminiscing about the past together.
"By the way! Brother Xiu, how did you become like this now..."
Hu Buwei was very puzzled when he saw the other party's weak appearance.
"Haha, I've been harmed by a villain, so let's not talk about it!"
As he spoke, Xiu Ran's eyes inadvertently glanced at Ning Ping.
What surprised him the most at that time was that this kid actually killed Master Huo Rong.
"By the way, what are you guys doing going to Ancient Sword Star?"
"It's all because of that holy land!"
Seeing that the other party seemed unwilling to talk more, Hu Buwei did not continue to ask.
"Oh? Then tell me about it, this holy land is really a cause for concern!"
After all, Xiu Ran’s harm was caused by the Holy Land, so naturally they are very concerned.
So a few of them started talking about the situation in the holy land.
The influence of the Holy Light and the specific circumstances of the previous Holy Land War.
Especially when mentioning Wu Chuxun and others, after they all ascended to the fairyland, Xiu Ran showed a look of loss.
As Xiu Ran had also participated in the Holy Land War, he did not ask Ning Ping about what happened afterwards. In fact, he did not want to and was unwilling to do so.
"I never thought the situation would be so serious. It seems that our entire cultivation world has no way out!"
Xiu Ran also said solemnly.
"Who said it wasn't? I'm afraid the next moment will be even more difficult! I'm afraid we will have to face the Immortal Lord Luo Kun head-on!"
Hong Shi on the side also said worriedly.
"So the reason you went to Ancient Sword Star is...?" Xiu Ran thought about it.
"That's right! I want to go to Ancient Sword Star just to see if I can repair the Tianyan Ding and improve my strength as much as possible! I'm making a last-ditch effort."
Ning Ping answered honestly.
"So that's how it is..." Xiu Ran suddenly realized, and a hint of loneliness appeared in his eyes again.
"Unfortunately, I can't help you now!"
"Senior Xiu, you don't have to worry about it. You should know that the exquisite sky-locking formation was broken with your participation!"
"What? Did fellow cultivators also contribute to the exquisite heaven-locking formation? Ning Ping, why didn't you tell us about such a big event?"
This was the first time Hu Buwei and Hong Shi heard about this, and they were extremely surprised.
"You two, I specifically told Ning Ping not to spread the news. This has nothing to do with him, but I'm very pleased to be able to participate in this grand event!"
Thinking of the scene that day, Xiu Ran is still mentally disturbed.
"Hmph~ That's more like it! You're quite tight-lipped, kid! Remember to engrave Brother Xiu's deeds on a monument so that all cultivators in the world can admire you!"
After hearing Xiu Ran say this, Hu Buwei finally calmed down a little.
"Okay! I'll take care of it later!" Ning Ping quickly agreed.
"Absolutely not. How can I be so worthy as to be so worthy..."
"Okay! Brother Xiu, you don't need to worry about this matter!" Just when Xiu Ran was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Hu Buwei.
Afterwards, a few of them started chatting about some past news in the world of cultivation.
Ning Ping just listened quietly at the side.
Ning Ping admired Xiu Ran from the bottom of his heart. He was a very easy-going old man.
In some ways, it even seems a little too easy-going.
This was especially true after hearing about Master Huo Rong and his past, as well as the matter of Wu Chuxun.
The overall impression Xiu Ran gave him was that he was somewhat of a good guy.
The impression he gave to her was not that of a ruthless monk, but more like an amiable teacher.
Regardless of his temperament, Xiu Ran's help to me was enormous.
The comprehension of the Hunji Dongxu Sutra and the gift of the Hongyu Yunxingtu to myself are both huge benefits to me.
The connection between oneself and the other person is as if it were destined.
He was trapped in the spatial cracks of the extraterritorial battlefield and relied on a jade slip to connect with himself.
The probability is so low that we can only regard it as God's will.
"Eh~! I'm afraid our conversation is coming to an end. We have to go through a void storm ahead!"
After they talked for an unknown amount of time, Hu Buwei suddenly stood up.
"Oh? I didn't expect you to be here. Looks like we're getting closer!"
Xiu Ran also seemed to know something about this place.
