Amidst the silence, a rumble emanated from his stomach, echoing like distant thunder.
He murmured, "I think I need to find the nearest city to get some food."
Ensuring that his appearance was in order, he began to move out and stopped in front of this cave because there was a female cultivator heading his way. Although the female cultivator couldn't be seen with the naked eye due to the considerable distance, since Ryujin was wearing a blindfold, he could see everything around him so clearly and in such detail that there was nothing covering his eyes. As a result, Ryujin stood in front of the cave, waiting for the woman to pass by.
However, after 5 minutes, it turned out that the woman stopped not far from Ryujin. The female cultivator only realized when she was about 100 meters away that Ryujin was in front of the cave. Initially, the woman intended to enter the cave that Ryujin had entered, but after noticing Ryujin, she stopped not far away and observed Ryujin carefully.
."..." Silence stretched between them until she broke it with a voice as clear as a mountain spring,
"Sigh, so a mortal... what are you doing here?" the woman asked. while asking to ryuin she is realizing that he was an ordinary person due to has no Cultivation.
Ryujin gazed back at the female cultivator and replied to her question, explaining that he had gotten lost in this forest and didn't know where to go.
"I got lost in this forest and don't know the way to the nearest City..."
"..."Her eyes narrowed, skepticism etched into her features. How could a blind person end up here by getting lost, especially considering the long distance from the City?
"I'm searching for medicinal herbs to sell because I don't have any money," Ryujin said, noticing the woman's skeptical expression.
"....Intent on returning to the city?" she probed further.
"Yes, I want to return to the City. Since morning, I haven't been able to find any medicinal herbs, and now I'm feeling very hungry."
"Very well, let's go after I rest," she said, sitting not far from Ryujin.
"Sure, by the way, my name is Ryujin... May I know your name?" Ryujin asked the woman while sitting in place.
"Nice to meet you, I'm Liara Yun," the female cultivator answered Ryujin.
After a few minutes, Ryujin's stomach rumbled in the silence, resembling thunder in the night.
"Growl... Growl..."
"Sorry, I'm so hungry... hehehe, please ignore the sound, Yun," Ryujin said, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Liara Yun, who was looking at Ryujin, took something from her pouch and then handed him a bundle of dried beef wrapped in a banana leaf.
"Here's a bit of dried meat," she said while handing over the dry beef.
"Thank you so much," Ryujin said, taking some pieces of the dried meat that Liara Yun had given and starting to eat right away.
While eating the dried meat, he used his Inspection ability to gather more information about Liara Yun.

On the other side, Liara Yun was observing Ryujin as he ate the dry beef in front of her. She thought that the man in front of her had a unique appearance. Despite his simple clothing and the blindfold covering his eyes, Liara noticed that he had smooth white hair resembling silk. Not only that, Ryujin emitted an unusual aura. Liara still had doubts about whether Ryujin was just a mortal. However, after a while, she felt that they were old friends reuniting, and despite the oddity, Liara sensed that Ryujin was not a malicious person.
Meanwhile, Ryujin was still using his Inspection skill to observe Liara Yun's status, unaware that the Nameless Halo had a positive effect on her. After a few moments, Liara Yun began to ask Ryujin about the reason for wearing the blindfold.
"Ryujin, why do you cover your eyes with a blindfold?" Laura Yun asked him.
"Well... for some reason, I am blind," Ryujin answered after a pause, explaining that he couldn't see while pretending to be a blind man.
"Then is that also the reason why your hair looks like that?" Laura Yun asked.
"What do you mean?" Ryujin replied, confused.
"Hmmm, so you don't know that your hair is as white as silk?" Laura Yun responded while explaining.
"Really?? I don't even know about it," Ryujin exclaimed, shocked to learn about his white hair and starting to doubt his appearance compared to before.
"Then, do you think I have an ugly face?" Ryujin asked curiously.
"Well, i don't think you are ugly behind the blindfold... it's just you look so unique. " said Laura yun with red Rossy Cheeks
"I see..." Ryujin replied while pondering his current appearance.
An awkward silence hung between them, and then Ryujin asked Laura again.
"Anyway, what are you doing around here, Laura?"
"I was just checking the mountain from the west direction. According to the information, there was a huge explosion there, so I'm investigating the truth behind it," she explained.
"Do you know what happened here? Have you heard any monsters or something from this cave?" Laura Yun asked with seriousness.
In an instant, Ryujin began to sweat nervously and thought, 'Isn't that me who made the commotion?' For a moment, he contemplated what answer he should provide.
"Um, yeah... When I was looking for herbs, I did hear someone fighting from here. I didn't know who or what was there, but as soon as they fought, there was a loud sound like an explosion over there," Ryujin explained to Laura Yun.
"It was incredibly loud, almost making me lose consciousness," Ryujin continued with a serious expression.
"I see... When I went to the mountain, there was a large crater about a few kilometers wide where the mountain should have stood. It's likely that a high-level cultivator battle occurred here," Laura Yun clarified to him.
After 20 Minutes talking about the big commotion, Laura yun asked ryujin to get ready for going back to the city nearby.
"Okay, let's come back to the city... Anyway, do you have anything to be prepared? "
"No, I don't have. Let's come back to the city," Ryujin said to Laura Yun.
As soon as he said that, Laura Yun picked up Ryujin in her arms like a princess.
"Then excuse me, Ryujin."
He hadn't expected her to carry him like a princess, and he felt embarrassed. All he could manage was a blush and some stuttering, "Okay, and thank you for carrying me..."
Laura Yun noticed Ryujin blushing and simply smiled, then she started running toward the city.
Since Laura Yun was still at the Foundation Establishment level in her cultivation, she couldn't fly. Flying requires at least Nascent Soul Cultivation. In the cultivation world, the higher your cultivation level, the more you can defy the laws of nature.
While being carried by Laura Yun to the city, Ryujin enjoyed the view. Even though Laura Yun ran incredibly fast, about 10 times faster than a cheetah, he felt a sense of normalcy due to the effects of his blindfold.
"Ryujin, where do you live?" Laura Yun asked as she carried him towards the city.
"Well... you can say I'm homeless, because I always go wherever the wind takes me," Ryujin joked.
"So you don't live in this Vensha City?" Laura Yun asked with a serious expression.
"No, I just came to the city recently," Ryujin replied, gaining information that the nearest city was Vensha City. Ryujin felt compelled to engage in a general conversation with Laura Yun to avoid raising suspicions.
"Then do you want to come with me to the Sect? I am a Core Disciple of the Frost Dragon Sect. It's near Vensha City."
"Can I? But I don't have any knowledge about cultivation," Ryujin asked Laura Yun.
"Don't worry... I will ask my master to accept you."
"Anyway, how old are you?" Laura Yun inquired.
Ryujin was used to being 22 years old as a young worker before he transmigrated to this world. Feeling a bit confused, he almost forgot about the system he possessed.

"But why does all the information say that I'm a mortal?" Ryujin pondered seriously while muttering to himself.
"Whoa... I'm actually 18 years old. Now I really doubt that I still have the same appearance," Ryujin thought after checking his status panel.
"Ryujin... Ryujin..." Laura Yun called his name a few times while carrying him.
"Oh, right... Sorry, I was daydreaming. I'm 18 years old, Laura," Ryujin answered.
"So you're 18 years old. In that case, you should call me Senior Sister because I'm... well, older," Laura Yun said, blushing slightly as she realized she was older. She quickly regained her cool demeanor.
"Okay, Seni.. Sister," Ryujin replied, feeling a bit embarrassed.
"In that case, we'll head straight to the Frost Dragon Sect," Laura Yun stated.
