The following day, Jing Yan returned to the Donglin City Lord's Mansion.
Gu Xinghe and Elder Yin were already waiting for Jing Yan, ready to set out for the newly discovered Ancient Cave Mansion in the Black Stone Mountain Range.
"Alchemist Jing Yan, can we now proceed to the Black Stone Mountain Range?" Gu Xinghe asked with a smile.
"Yes, no problem!" Jing Yan nodded, "We can leave right away."
"I've never been to the Black Stone Mountain Range, and I'm a bit curious too; I'll tag along!" Zhou Shangyun interjected.
At Zhou Shangyun's words, Gu Xinghe's brow furrowed.
"Prince, it is fine for you to enter the Black Stone Mountain Range, but you cannot accompany us. You know, to open this Ancient Cave Mansion, my Gu Family has expended a great deal of effort and lost many powerful martial artists," Gu Xinghe said, regaining his smile while addressing Zhou Shangyun.
