The protagonist stole my spiritual root? Hey, heroine, give birth to me!

"Senior, senior, please stop! I have a storage bag here, I'll give it to you right now!" Seeing Chen Xuan being wronged, Qing Lanyu quickly took out her storage bag and handed it to Lin Rou.

Seeing this, Lin Rou had no choice but to give up.

"Don't worry, as long as you cooperate obediently, I won't hurt you," Lin Rou said calmly, while also beginning to count the treasures in the storage bags.

These are all her spoils of war, she can't just give them to Chen Xuan so easily! If he doesn't beg her, he can forget about these treasures! Hmph!

"Huh?! This, this is..." Suddenly, Lin Rou noticed something familiar; it was some of the treasures she and her disciples had owned in the past.

Memories flooded back instantly.

"How did these broken imperial weapons end up in your hands?" Lin Rou asked with a hint of emotion.

"Senior, we found these treasures in the ruins of a sect. They are said to be relics left by a senior, and we obtained them by chance," Tang Sirui replied truthfully.

"I see." Lin Rou suddenly realized, and at the same time felt a pang of sadness. These imperial weapons were originally crafted by her for her disciples to use in their battles against the heavens. She had thought that these items would be destroyed along with the battles, but she never expected that they would fall into her hands again in this way.

"Then let's..."

"You can get out of here." Lin Rou put Chen Xuan down, waved her hand, and signaled Tang Sirui and the others to leave.

Tang Sirui and the others felt as if they had been granted a pardon and quickly left the area, fearing that Lin Rou might change her mind.

Seeing that his goal had been achieved and that the old woman's condition was not quite right, Chen Xuan put her away after walking a distance away.

"I never expected that this bandit Lin Batian to be such an old geezer. No wonder he has such strength!" Ma Ji exclaimed after leaving.

Although he still harbors intense hatred, he no longer has any desire for revenge.

"Alright, we've been here for so long, we've already exceeded the trial time, let's hurry up and find a way to leave!" Tang Sirui frowned.

“Yeah, let’s get out of here quickly. This godforsaken place is too unstable with weirdos like Lin Batian around!” Dai Dabai chimed in.

Although he was robbed once before, he still managed to collect quite a few good treasures. But then Lin Batian slew him, leaving him with nothing!

"But... how are we going to get out?" Chen Xuan asked.

"I suspect it's behind that impenetrable stone door on the mountaintop!"

"An unopenable stone door?" Qing Lanyu asked in surprise.

“You and Chen Xuan just arrived, so you haven’t seen it yet. You’ll see when you get to the front!” Yan Xi said ingratiatingly.

A simp is a simp no matter where he is, even if he is facing Qing Lanyu who is wearing a mask.

"Then what are we waiting for? I'm so frustrated today, I need to get out of this awful place as soon as possible!" Chen Xuan said angrily, but in his heart he was overjoyed.

The main force then continued its advance and soon arrived at a huge, dilapidated palace.

"Where is this...?" Qing Lanyu asked in confusion.

“Green Mountain Sect! Perhaps it’s some ancient sect!” Chen Xuan saw the plaque on the palace.

"Don't worry about that. All the good stuff here has already been taken. Although it was looted later, that's not the point anymore!"

"Oh, you got robbed? Oh, it's alright then."

"The stone gate is just ahead, Miss Qinglan, please follow me!" Yan Xi said.

Qing Lanyu first glanced at Chen Xuan, and after seeing him nod, she nodded slightly.

Then, she took Chen Xuan's hand and went with him.

Yan Xi: "..."

"You, Chen Xuan, a mere country bumpkin from the lower realms, dare to attempt mind control over the noble Miss Qinglan? Just wait until I get out of here, I'll expose your evil deeds in public!"

......

At the end was a huge stone gate.

The stone gate was carved with countless complex runes, and on it was a delicate little pair of scissors that exuded a mysterious power that made Chen Xuan feel a chill.

However, he relaxed the moment he saw the scissors.

We have money backing us!

"This stone door must be the deepest restriction in the Tianyuan Valley small world, right?" Chen Xuan carefully examined the stone door, guessing in his heart.

He tried to push the stone door, but found that it did not budge, as if it were integrated with the entire mountain wall.

“It won’t work. We’ve tried everything, but nothing works. Miss Qinglan knows formations, and we’ve all been waiting for her!” At this moment, a student from the academy stepped forward and said.

"Jue'er, go and take a look."

"Mmm!" Qing Lanyu nodded obediently, then went to the stone gate to examine the formation.

"This is still an energy array, which requires a lot of energy to activate!" Qing Lanyu immediately saw through it.

"That's impossible! We just tried putting spirit stones in, but it didn't work!"

"This time it's different. This time it requires instant energy, which is... the purest energy!"

"What? What should we do? We have nothing left!"

Just as Qing Lanyu was about to explain, Tang Sirui spoke up directly:

"I think Miss Qinglan wasn't referring to that kind of energy, but rather... something like this!"

Tang Sirui gathered all his spiritual energy, condensed it into a ball, and sent it into the stone gate.

The stone door remained motionless.

'Oh no, could I have guessed wrong? This is terrible, I've become the clown on stage!' Tang Sirui was extremely anxious.

However, Qinglan Yu spoke up.

"His energy alone isn't enough, everyone, let's all join forces!" After saying that, she also unleashed the spiritual energy within her body, gathering it in her palm and striking out.

As everyone's spiritual energy surged in, the stone door emitted a buzzing sound. Then, the small scissors emitted an even more dazzling light, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a huge passage.

"Finally we can go out!"

The crowd cheered and rushed into the passage.

"Is it really that simple?" Chen Xuan couldn't help but complain.

"Simple my foot! Without you coming, no one can open this stone door. It only recognizes your spiritual energy. Alright, stop dawdling and hurry up and go in to get your chance!" The voice of Fairy Bixiao echoed in Chen Xuan's mind again.

To be honest, Bixiao was completely numb. She had sent him up the mountain a long time ago, but she never expected that this damned brat would dare to mess around with this woman in front of her. She was furious!

She'll settle this score with Chen Xuan slowly!
