Liu Qin Yue was the most hesitant among them. Long ago, her master had told her that her talent in cultivation was not as good as in alchemy.
It wasn't that her cultivation talent was bad, but rather that she lacked the relentless courage of a cultivator.
Although she had never abandoned cultivation in her daily life, she had devoted most of her energy to practicing alchemy.
At first, she didn't take her master's words too seriously, but since the appearances of Yi Hu Cheng, she had come to understand her master's foresight even more.
Her strength was clearly not inferior to Bai Li Hongzhuang's, yet she needed Bai Li Hongzhuang to save her. Just this fact alone proved her problem.
Naturally, she was full of interest in the ruins, but the thought of the numerous dangers inside had already made her lose confidence. In this situation, should she still go?
Gong Shaoqing and Dongfang Yu became increasingly resolute in their eyes after pondering for a while. Such an opportunity was rare, and if they missed it, they might not encounter it again in their lifetime.
If they gave up simply because their current cultivation was not strong enough, they would surely regret it deeply in the future.
Cui Haoyan, Zhan Yunfeng, Bai Junyu, and Xia Zhiqing also struggled before making their decisions. One's life should never be filled with regrets!
Bai Li Hongzhuang's expression remained unchanged from beginning to end. When it came to such a rare and elusive opportunity, if she gave up, it wouldn't be her style!
As for Di Beichen, it goes without saying. Seeing such an opportunity, he couldn't be happier. How could he give up because of some danger?
After everyone made their decisions, Liu Qin Yue suddenly spoke up, "I've decided to return to the academy."
Upon hearing Liu Qin Yue's words, everyone was momentarily stunned, but they quickly understood her thoughts.
Being an alchemist was already a rare talent, and once she became an alchemist, a life of wealth and prosperity was guaranteed.
Moreover, Liu Qin Yue's talent in alchemy was outstanding. She was recognized as a genius alchemist by everyone, so she didn't need to take such risks.
Lu Huaiyan nodded slightly. "Alright, I've informed the academy. They will release a signal flare when they arrive outside the miasma. You can go out when you see the signal flare. It's safer that way."
Currently, there were still many cultivators trapped outside the miasma, especially when the people from the four major clans arrived, the outsiders would be even more eager to enter.
If Liu Qin Yue rashly went out, she would undoubtedly attract the attention and attacks of everyone. She could only ensure her safety by waiting for the people from the academy to come and pick her up.
Upon hearing this, Liu Qin Yue nodded, "I understand."
"It's relatively safe for you to stay in the miasma." Fu Hongbo pursed his lips, his expression showing a hint of relief.
Lu Huaiyan's gaze finally fell on everyone. "Since you've decided to go in, be extra careful tomorrow. We can't predict what dangers lie inside, so everyone must adapt as the situation unfolds."
"We understand!" Everyone responded one after another.
Even with mentors present in the ruins, they couldn't guarantee their safety. The only thing they could rely on was themselves.
As cultivators, they constantly faced countless risks. Since the day they became cultivators, they had prepared themselves mentally.
Once again, everyone entered their cultivation state, but their mood became slightly heavier.
...
"Gong Big Brother, you need to be extra careful tomorrow. I can't come with you this time."
