While Ling Ze and the others were having a comfortable time, Gang Zi was not doing so well.
Gang Zi and his good buddy Flander truly endured wind and rain the entire way, looking quite wretched.
Gang Zi pulled Flander to the place where they were supposed to meet Liu Erlong, but there was nothing there.
Gang Zi and Hao Zi now felt a bit like they had lost something, yet they didn't know what it was.
Perhaps this was a special sense given to them by the corrective power of time.
Flander asked Gang Zi what he was looking for, and Gang Zi replied that he didn't know either.
After searching for a long time without seeing anything, the two could only leave.
On the road, Gang Zi once again showed off his theoretical knowledge, so Flander asked Gang Zi for advice on his spirit ring.
The two decided to try their luck at the Star Dou Great Forest.
Flander's stinginess was genuine; for such a long distance, he absolutely refused to rent a carriage.
His near Soul King body could handle it, but Gang Zi, that waste, truly couldn't bear it.
However, since Gang Zi's strength was lacking, he didn't say anything, nor did he dare to say anything.
Where did Liu Erlong go?
She saw that Ling Ze was heading to the Sunset Forest, and Liu Erlong wanted to see if she could run into him.
Liu Erlong thought that by staying near Ling Ze, perhaps Ling Ze would write about her more in his diary.
This way, the rewards from the diary instance would be better, and her strength improvement would be faster.
But she didn't know where to intercept him.
After much thought, she decided to return to Heaven Dou Imperial City.
Liu Erlong decided to wait right at the city gate.
Whether she could successfully intercept him or not, she felt uncertain, but regardless, she had to try.
Turning back to Ling Ze and his group, they were having such a comfortable time.
It was unclear if Ling Ze and the others were just lucky, or if Ling'er had moved the seafood farming base over.
In less than ten minutes of fishing, they were surrounded by a pile of seafood.
They were all very expensive fish species from his previous life, such as grouper, wild yellow croaker, and giant lobsters, with the lobsters weighing five or six catties each.
After discussing for a while, they kept one grouper, one yellow croaker, and two giant lobsters, releasing the rest back into the sea.
They had only been fishing for fun just now.
Thinking they shouldn't waste it, they kept these few and released the others.
Tian Yin took A Yin to cook, and Ling Ze, bored alone, instantly teleported to the training room.
The training room was huge, a full five hundred square meters.
To the left was the area for internal cultivation, which occupied a smaller area of only a hundred square meters.
There were several meditation cushions placed on the ground; the cushions were very exquisite.
Ling Ze chose one closest to him and sat down to begin cultivating.
The effect of this training room was too good; Ling Ze himself was astonished.
After cultivating for less than forty minutes, he actually broke through; his Nine Heavens Profound Yang technique reached the second layer.
He didn't know if the first few layers were too simple or what, but Ling Ze felt everything happened naturally, with no obstruction during the breakthrough.
His strength increased again, allowing him to contend with a high-level Soul King.
Ling Ze found it excessive; he was still a child, and if he claimed he could fight a Soul King, others would think he was mentally unstable.
But after thinking about it, he felt it was quite reasonable; after all, this was the Mystic Fantasy Sewer World, and he was practicing immortal cultivation!
Just then, the meal was ready, so he enjoyed the delicious food with his two older sisters.
The next ten-plus days were spent cultivating, eating delicacies, and traveling.
He hadn't written his diary at all.
Ling Ze decided to wait until they reached Heaven Dou City, rest for a while, and then write his diary.
At noon that day, they finally arrived at Heaven Dou Imperial City, only to encounter an unexpected person at the city gate: Liu Erlong.
