“How can you still laugh? I wouldn’t be in this state if you had not just left me here to fend for myself all night!” Lou Yuan protested.
“So, did the bandits attempt to kill you at night?” Zhao Yunxiao asked nonchalantly.
“
“
“Oh, to search for the celestial meteorite? Yes, let’s get out of here!” Lou Yuan got up and immediately started ushering Zhao Yunxiao and Nie Hanchang out of the hut.
“

“I guess there’s no helping it,” Zhao Yunxiao heaved a sigh of helplessness. “Let’s get going then. This might take a while.”
“No, it’s not that complicated,” Lou Yuan corrected. “All we have to do is follow the differences in energy density. If the celestial meteorite has really fallen here, it will surely be emitting a certain degree of energy.”
“That’s true,” Zhao Yunxiao agreed.
With that, he closed his eyes and spread out his spiritual sense.
Lou Yuan was not wrong.
Despite the harsh environment, Zhao Yunxiao could sense that the energy density in their surroundings was much higher than normal.
It was not mere world origin energy either, but some form of refined energy instead. This meant that the higher energy density was definitely not something natural.
But that said, it applied to the entire environment.
No matter how he tried, Zhao Yunxiao could not detect any significant differences in energy level that could possibly suggest the direction where this refined energy originated.
“Managed to sense it?” Lou Yuan asked, apparently having guessed what Zhao Yunxiao was doing.
“No luck,” Zhao Yunxiao answered bitterly. “Do you sense anything, Senior Martial Brother Nie?”
“No,” Nie Hanchang shook his head as well.
“Tch! How pathetic,” Lou Yuan clicked his tongue in irritation. “What’s the use of learning how to fight when you can’t even do something this simple? Follow me!”
“Wait, do you have an idea on where to go?” Zhao Yunxiao questioned.
“Of course!” Lou Yuan snorted in disdain. “While I might not be able to fight as well as you do, this level of energy sensitivity is nothing to a famous designer like me!”
With that, Lou Yuan confidently walked into the desert.
Zhao Yunxiao and Nie Hanchang exchanged glances, then silently followed along.
While they were sceptical about Lou Yuan’s claim, it was not as though they had a better plan anyway. Since the next best alternative would just be slowly combing the desert, they might as well go along with Lou Yuan for now.
Lou Yuan never slowed down.
In fact, his pace only grew faster as they walked along, just like the excitement that was clearly showing on his face.
And for good reason as well.
It did not take long before they finally found what they were here for.
The narrative has been taken without authorization; if you see it on Amazon, report the incident.
From the top of a tall sand dune, the trio looked down at what appeared to be an enormous sand crater. Within the crater, one could see a huge black rock that was half buried in the sand.
The surface of this rock was smooth with a metallic sheen, perfectly reflecting the blazing sun that was bearing down on it.
It was clear that this was no ordinary rock.
That was not all, either.
The moment they arrived at the sand crater, the energy density in their surroundings had suddenly climbed to multiple times that at the edge of the desert.
“You really knew the way?” Zhao Yunxiao muttered in surprise.
Zhao Yunxiao had always been proud of his mastery of energy sensitivity and control.
“Yeah, that’s a surprise...” Nie Hanchang absentmindedly added.
“Hah! Do you finally believe that I am a famous designer now?” Lou Yuan put his hands on his waist in triumph.
“
“
“That might be true, but that doesn’t mean everyone with good energy sensitivity is a famous designer,” Zhao Yunxiao argued. “If you really want to prove that, then show me something that only a famous designer can do.”
