After a long while, Lu Chen finally came to his senses.
"He might be too excited."
Lu Chen thought to himself that it might still take a while to go and register at the sect.
Sitting idly here was making him restless, so he turned his attention to the pit that was emitting Earth Fire.
Next to it, there was a forge for Artifact Refining, which Zhu Chongjiu would probably move over when he needed to refine Magic Artifacts, using the Earth Fire for the process.
"Why not take a look at this Earth Fire and see what's different?"
With a flicker in his eyes, Lu Chen came up with an idea.
But he was also worried that he might become too immersed in observing the Earth Fire and not notice when Zhu Chongjiu returned.
So, he walked towards the entrance of the cave and placed the Mysterious Iron Spear at the entrance.
"Spear Spirit, you must help me keep watch. Alert me if someone comes back."
The Spear Spirit hastily replied, "Rest assured, Master. I will keep a vigilant watch."
