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

"Big brother, something took my big brother away."

In the blink of an eye, his elder brother disappeared before his eyes, and Shen Wanrong burst into tears.

"I'm here, please save me."

Following the faint sound, the group finally found the missing Shen Wanxing in the bushes not far away.

He was being entangled by a seven- or eight-meter-long blue-ringed snake. The more he struggled, the tighter the snake wrapped around him became, and his face turned somewhat blue as a result.

If we don't rescue him quickly, he might be in danger soon.

Upon seeing this, Xu Shunu immediately thrust his sword forward. The snake, in pain, loosened its grip, and with a thud, Shen Wanxing, who had been entangled by the snake, fell off.

"Brother, how are you?"

While stuffing medicine into his mouth, Shen Wanrong anxiously asked him how badly he was injured.

"You came quickly, I'm fine." After saying that, Shen Wanxing closed his eyes and began to heal his wounds.

It was just a third-tier blue-ringed snake. Without Shen Wanxing as a hostage, Xu Shunuo killed it in no time.

After putting the snakes away and picking the medicinal herbs they were guarding, the group stood with their heads down in front of Xu Qingman and her companion, appearing ready to accept any beating or scolding.

Seeing their reaction, Yu Jinchen scolded them with a stern face: "Hmph, now you know you were wrong? What were you doing just now? I kept emphasizing the importance of safety, and what happened?"

Fortunately, this was only a third-tier demonic beast. If it had been a fourth or even fifth-tier one, wouldn't Wan Xing's life have ended here?

Hearing his father say that he would lose his life, Xu Shuyang muttered in a low voice, "Aren't you and Mother here? How could we possibly lose our lives?"

"Xu Shuyang, what did you just say? Say it again."

Yu Jinchen was almost calmed down, but upon hearing his youngest son's words, he pursed his lips and glared at him in anger.

Seeing that his father was really angry, Xu Shuyang shut his mouth and dared not say anything more.

Although his parents rarely get angry, Xu Shuyang is still very afraid when they do.

Seeing that her husband was quite angry, Xu Qingman gently patted him and said, "I remember we agreed before we went into the mountains that we wouldn't take action unless we encountered a real crisis."

What? It's just a third-tier blue-ringed snake, and it's already gotten to the point where we need to take action?

Two Nascent Soul stage cultivators and three Golden Core stage cultivators almost suffered a great loss at the hands of a third-tier demonic beast. Isn't that shameful?

The five people were so humiliated by the scolding that they couldn't lift their heads. It was truly embarrassing; it was their carelessness that caused the incident.

They got cocky after just a small victory; no wonder they suffered a loss.

"Father, Mother, I'm sorry, it was our carelessness. I promise this will not happen again."

After Xu Shunu sincerely admitted his mistake, the other four also quickly followed suit and apologized.

Seeing that the group truly realized their mistake, Xu Qingman stopped scolding them. They were all in their twenties and still knew how to save face.

However, Xu Qingman did not let them off the hook immediately. Instead, she earnestly warned them, "Since we agreed that you would do it yourselves, you have to pretend that we are not here."

Never think that someone will bail you out if something goes wrong, otherwise you will never grow up.

Think about it, other cultivators who have reached the Nascent Soul stage are already out exploring on their own. Even if your cultivation levels were higher, we wouldn't dare let you go out alone.”

After this experience, the little chickens have truly grown up and always keep safety first in mind.

After that, whether it was gathering herbs or fighting against monsters, the five of them each had their own tasks.

After spending about ten days wandering around the area with the younger children until they could find nothing of value, the group headed deeper into the mountains.

Xu Qingman and her husband thought that when they entered the Dragon Hidden Mountain Range several times before, they never dared to go to the deepest part because their cultivation level was still low.

The beast tide has just ended, and the strongest monsters in the Dragon Hidden Mountains have been completely left on the battlefield. If I'm not mistaken, the highest-level monster in the mountains now should only be at the ninth rank.

This is arguably the best time to venture into the deepest part of the mountains.

Furthermore, now that both of them have reached the Nascent Soul stage, even with several dependents in tow, they are fully confident in getting them out of danger.

They continued deeper into the area for another three or four days, occasionally encountering a few demonic beasts along the way, most of which were at the seventh or eighth level of cultivation, which the couple easily dealt with.

Furthermore, they also obtained many high-grade spiritual herbs as a result.

"Master, why can't we find a single low-level demonic beast after we've reached the depths of the mountains?" Shen Wanxing asked.

Xu Qingman explained with a smile, "Demon beasts are territorial. Wherever there are high-level demon beasts, low-level demon beasts generally don't dare to venture in, otherwise they will only be eaten."

Shen Wanxing nodded. "Oh, no wonder."

Shen Wanrong chuckled and teased, "Brother, are you getting anxious because you haven't had any income for a few days?"

"Hehehe, aren't you guys in a hurry?"

Shen Wanxing didn't feel embarrassed at all when his younger brother exposed his secret. After all, everyone was in the same boat, and there was nothing shameful about admitting it.

Xu Qingman looked at the younger children and said, "Don't worry, we'll share some with you when we find more good stuff inside."

On this day, the group discovered a concealment formation that was about to fail on a nearby mountain peak. After breaking the formation, they found a huge cave that was more than ten meters high inside. The cave was so dark that they could not see anything at all.

As I approached, gusts of cold wind blew past, and when the wind blew on my body, I felt a chill.

Upon closer inspection, the whistling wind was accompanied by a faint, almost inaudible cry, sharp and piercing, sending chills down the spines of the children and instantly making them feel utterly terrified.

Although I don't know the specifics inside, I can imagine that it must be complicated, and there might even be danger.

Xu Shuyao was so frightened that she hugged Xu Qingman, "Sister, I'm scared, is there a ghost? Let's go quickly, don't go into the cave."

Xu Qingman gently patted the little girl, "Yaoyao, don't be afraid. We're here. Even if there really are ghosts, you don't need to be afraid."

At this moment, apart from Xu Qingman and her husband, the others were also somewhat nervous. Although they were already cultivators, ghosts shouldn't be that scary.

But being in this environment, I was still somewhat afraid.

Just as they were considering whether to go in and investigate, they heard Shen Wanrong shout, "Master, look! There seem to be words on this stone wall!"

Following the direction he pointed, Yu Jinchen walked over to examine it closely and saw three small characters carved with swords.

Then, he exclaimed in disbelief, "The Cave of Ten Thousand Demons! This is actually the Cave of Ten Thousand Demons!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Qingman quickly walked over. "What, husband? You mean the Ten Thousand Demon Cave? Let me see."

When Xu Qingman finally saw the few small characters that were almost blown flat by the wind, an incredulous expression appeared on her face.
