After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

The mother and son flew forward for nearly an hour before finally finding a secluded spot to stop.

Only after activating both arrays did the two finally feel at ease.

After meditating cross-legged to replenish her spiritual energy, Xu Qingman took out the storage ring from before, amidst her son's expectant gaze.

After confirming that all traces had been erased, Xu Qingman took the items out one by one.

In fact, it wasn't just Xu Shuyi; she herself had gradually come to love the thrill of opening blind boxes. She felt that this feeling was far more exciting than the way those girls in her previous life opened packages.

When the two large boxes of spirit stones were placed in front of her, Xu Shuyi exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! So much money! So many spirit stones, and most of them are top-grade spirit stones."

Following the spirit stones, various spiritual herbs and fruits, pills, talismans, magic treasures, and all kinds of ores were piled up in front of the mother and son like small mountains.

It even contains a considerable amount of gold and silver jewelry that ordinary people would like, as well as gorgeous ornaments and clothing.

Seeing this, the mother and son looked at each other in bewilderment. Could this person also have come from some mortal world?

Xu Qingman let her son pick out some of his favorites, and then took the rest back. Otherwise, they definitely wouldn't have enough room for them.

It wasn't until she pulled out a jade pendant from the corner, a symbol of her identity, that the mother and son felt both fear and anger.

Unexpectedly, this person was actually the Grand Elder of the Hehuan Sect, the Xuantian Ancestor known as the White-Haired Old Monster.

Did they dig up the ancestral graves of the Hehuan Sect here? Why does encountering members of the Hehuan Sect always bring great danger to our family?

At this moment, Xu Qingman silently vowed that when she had the ability, she would definitely turn the Hehuan Sect upside down.

After instructing her son not to tell his father about this before leaving the secret realm, the mother and son embarked on their treasure hunt once again.

Meanwhile, outside the secret realm, within the Hehuan Sect.

Zheng Xiangzhou, who had been happy to have taken on the easiest job, was surprised to see that the soul lamp representing the Xuan Tian Ancestor suddenly went out.

Zheng Xiangzhou arrived outside the main hall with trepidation, waiting for the sect leader to receive him with a worried expression.

He was nearly five hundred years old, but his cultivation level remained stuck at the Foundation Establishment stage without any progress.

To make his remaining decades more comfortable, Zheng Xiangzhou stopped taking on missions outside the capital. Instead, he used up all the spirit stones he had saved to find someone a job guarding soul lamps.

They thought the remaining decades would pass easily, but now that Ancestor Xuantian is gone, one can only imagine how furious the sect leader will be upon hearing the news.

That was the sect leader's own grandfather. If it weren't for his grandfather, how could he, with his mere Nascent Soul cultivation, have held the position of sect leader for over a hundred years?

Now that his grandfather is gone, his position is definitely not so secure anymore.

Zheng Xiangzhou thought to himself, "I hope I won't lose my life because of the sect leader's wrath."

Although he only had less than fifty years left to live, he didn't want to die as long as he could live.

What's more, since receiving this mission, he's been enjoying a few drinks and delicious food every day, and occasionally even going down the mountain to have some fun. He's living a life a hundred times more comfortable than when he was cultivating.

Just as he was lamenting that his good days were about to be over, he heard someone call out, "Old man Zheng, the sect leader wants you to come in."

They heard that the person had already come in, but was still dawdling at the door.

Master Lingxu was not a man of good temper to begin with, and he roared angrily, "What are you still doing outside? Get your ass in here right now!"

"Yes, Sect Master."

Zheng Xiangzhou resignedly held the extinguished soul lamp and walked inside with his head down.

Seeing the sect leader staring at him with a gloomy expression, Zheng Xiangzhou knew in his heart that something was wrong, but he could only hand over the soul lamp with trembling hands.

"Sect Master, I just discovered that the soul lamp of Ancestor Xuantian has gone out."

After uttering these words with trembling hands, Zheng Xiangzhou closed his eyes and collapsed to the ground, resignedly awaiting death.

"What? Say it again."

Sure enough, upon hearing this, Master Lingxu flew to him in anger, lifted him up with one hand, and demanded an explanation.

It wasn't until Zheng Xiangzhou repeated it again that Lingxu Zhenren took the soul lamp with trembling hands, repeatedly confirming that it was indeed his grandfather's.

Then a loud shout was heard from inside the hall, followed by two painful wails, after which the hall fell silent.

At this moment, Master Lingxu seemed to have lost his soul, sitting there dejectedly.

With my grandfather gone, I'm sure I can't hold onto my position as sect leader any longer.

I thought it wouldn't matter since my spiritual root was almost gone, because I had a grandfather who was at the Void Realm and a granddaughter with a single spiritual root.

Although his only grandson's spiritual root was not very good, he had managed to obtain many high-quality spiritual herbs over the years by taking advantage of his position as sect leader.

He even managed to get his hands on a few Spirit Cleansing Grasses.

Outsiders all assumed that the herb garden had gone awry that time, and all the Cleansing Herbs had been lost. But no one knew that he wouldn't put all his eggs in one basket.

He had long ago moved the oldest herb to his small herb garden in his cave. He was waiting for his grandson to successfully advance to the Nascent Soul stage and be able to withstand the pain of the Spirit Cleansing before giving it to him.

But now that my grandfather is gone, I certainly can't keep the things in my cave a secret anymore.

Thinking of this, Master Lingxu first cleaned up the two corpses on the ground, and then rushed back to his cave.

On the way, he sent two message talismans to his son and grandson, telling them to hurry to his cave.

Meanwhile, in the secret realm, Yu Jinchen and his daughter were being led into a cave by the treasure-hunting mouse Xiaobai.

Xu Shuyin stared at the bare cave walls and asked curiously, "Dad, what kind of treasure do you think is inside? We've been searching for so long, and we haven't found anything."

Yu Jinchen chuckled and advised, "Don't rush, daughter. The cave isn't at the bottom yet. Let's search some more."

Just then, Little White, who had been running forward, suddenly stopped and began scratching at the cave wall in front of it with its paws.

Upon seeing this, Xu Shuyin became excited, "Dad, Xiaobai must have found the place."

Yu Jinchen nodded, "Since Xiaobai keeps digging around here, let's try digging a bit first."

The father and daughter dug and dug for almost half an hour, but still found nothing.

But judging from Xiaobai's behavior, there must be something good inside.

Just as the father and daughter were beginning to have deep doubts, they were finally able to sense a faint spiritual energy from the newly unearthed area.

This undoubtedly gave the father and daughter a boost of confidence. After digging another seven or eight meters deeper, what was inside finally revealed itself.

The two never imagined that a mysterious ice stone mine was hidden here.

As soon as the object was revealed, a rich spiritual energy rushed towards the two of them.

Yu Jinchen quickly took out the array plate his wife had prepared, which not only isolated the leaking spiritual energy but also concealed the cave.

Although he has never been an expert in formations, he still knows how to use many of the formation plates he has made.

After taking safety precautions, we saw my daughter already like a busy little bee, wielding a hoe to carry out her treasure-digging mission.

Speaking of hoes, it was after they mined spirit stones in the Sunset Mountains that the whole family felt that using swords to mine was not convenient enough, so Yu Jinchen took some time to refine a few magic weapons shaped like hoes.

Mining with a hoe is indeed much more convenient than using a sword.

Xu Shuyin was digging enthusiastically when she heard her father shout, "Shuyin, don't move!"
