Yuan Ming stood in place for a moment, gazing toward a nearby grove and said, "Brother Wu Lu, since you're here, why bother hiding?"
The grove remained still for a moment, then Wu Lu emerged, his eyes unmistakably flashing with surprise.
"Heh, it's been a while since we've met, Brother Yuan, and your strength has become even more alarming. My method of concealment is quite unique, so much so that even ordinary Nascent Soul cultivators may not notice it. Yet, you saw through it at a glance—impressive."
"Just a little trick in sensing, nothing worth mentioning," Yuan Ming said indifferently.
Upon hearing this, Wu Lu couldn't help but be speechless. To think that an ability to detect what even Nascent Soul cultivators couldn't was considered a small trick?
"Why is Brother Wu Lu not at the canyon below refining the Earth Core Fire Lotus? What brings you here?" Yuan Ming inquired.
"Just passing by," Wu Lu said with a somewhat embarrassed look, forcing a smile.
