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

Upon hearing about the ancient cultivator's cave, the three of them no longer cared about listening to the story of the Purple Star Immortal Lord, but instead urged Xu Shuyin to lead the way quickly, as they were going to search for treasure.

Following Xu Shuyin's memories, the four of them quickly arrived at the entrance of a cave.

After pausing for a moment, finding no trace of any formation or demonic beast, the group stepped into the cave without hesitation.

Just then, an old voice rang out in the cave: "Stop! It's best if you all don't go any further."

If you dare take another step forward, I will make sure you never return.

Upon hearing this, Yu Jinchen coldly questioned, "Who is here? Don't try to play tricks. If you have the guts, come out and let me see who you are."

"I told you to leave here immediately. Don't test my patience any further, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The speaker did not come out, but instead made another sound. However, this time it was clear that the speaker was no longer calm, but rather somewhat exasperated.

"Hehe, look at you hiding your face like that. You probably know you can't beat us, so you're just trying to scare us. What a coward."

"You brat, what nonsense are you spouting? I just didn't want to come out. Who's the coward?"

As soon as Xu Shuyin uttered these clearly insulting words, the owner of the voice could no longer suppress his temper and immediately revealed himself.

When they saw who it was, Xu Qingman and her family burst out laughing.

A strange beast, neither human nor tortoise, stood before them. Judging from its appearance, it was clearly an old tortoise that had failed to transform into human form.

No wonder he kept talking from the shadows; if Xu Shuyin hadn't used provocation, he wouldn't have revealed himself.

There are countless monsters in the sea, but turtle demons are rarely enemies of humans. Therefore, even though this turtle already had a tenth-level cultivation, Xu Qingman and her family did not feel any danger.

"What are you laughing at? What's so funny? I've only failed to transform into human form. Once I find the Transformation Fruit, I can naturally become a handsome man."

Seeing that Xu Qingman's family was laughing at him, the old turtle was so angry that he jumped up and down.

Yu Jinchen suppressed a laugh and said, "No, Brother Turtle, don't be angry. We just couldn't help ourselves for a moment. We didn't mean to make fun of you."

The old tortoise snorted coldly: "So what if she's good-looking? What's so great about that?"

He then glanced at Xu Qingman and the others, and said with certainty, "You came here for this ancient cultivator's cave, right? I was the one who found it first."

"You can have what's inside, but you'll have to pay me a price that satisfies me."

Xu Shuyi asked, "What kind of compensation do you want? We can discuss anything we have."

Before the old tortoise could answer, Xu Shuyin asked, "You want the Transformation Fruit, right? We actually have some."

Upon hearing Xu Shuyin mention the Transformation Fruit, the old turtle excitedly darted over.

"Little girl, do you have a Transformation Fruit on you? Quickly take it out and let me see. If it really is a Transformation Fruit, I will definitely keep my word and give you the cave."

For a demon beast, nothing a human cultivator possesses is of much use to it; it occupies this place only to exchange a Transformation Fruit with a human cultivator.

However, it was, after all, a sea monster. Although it could briefly leave the seawater, it had no way to go ashore to find the Transformation Fruit.

That's why, when undergoing the transformation tribulation, he transformed himself into a half-human, half-demon ghost.

After seeing the two Transformation Fruits in Xu Shuyin's hand, the old tortoise quickly grabbed them, waved to Xu Qingman and the others, and then disappeared.

The old tortoise, who had run far away, thought to himself, "If I don't run now, when will I? I only wanted one Transformation Fruit, but this little girl took out two. Now when my wife transforms, she can become a great beauty too."

Otherwise, if I become a handsome man, but my wife turns into a half-human, half-demon carrying a tortoise shell, wouldn't that hurt my eyes?

"Let's go in and see what treasures the ancient cultivator's cave has."

Seeing the old tortoise walk away, Xu Qingman smiled and shook her head, making a suggestion.

When the family of four excitedly entered the cave, they couldn't help but chuckle when they saw the weathered storage bag and a small pile of spirit stones on the ground.

The storage bag had all weathered away, so the contents inside were probably useless now.

Apart from the hundred or so high-grade spirit stones on the ground, there was nothing else. No wonder the old tortoise ran away so fast after getting the Transformation Fruit.

Xu Qingman and her husband, as well as Xu Shuyi, didn't care. They were just too attached to appearances, thinking that ancient cultivator caves must contain good things. They should know that many ancient cultivators were extremely poor.

Thinking about how she had suffered a great loss, Xu Shuyin was so angry that she gritted her teeth and said that she should never run into that bastard again, or she would definitely teach him a lesson.

"Shuyin, don't be angry. When we meet that old turtle again, your brother will catch it and make soup for you."

Seeing his younger sister was very angry, the good older brother Xu Shuyi smiled and comforted her.

"Pfft, that old turtle meat is too tough and probably won't taste good, but the shell does have some use."

When she heard her son say he wanted to make soup with an old turtle, Xu Qingman couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Xu Shuyin stomped her foot in anger, "Mother, you're going to laugh at me too."

Yu Jinchen teased, "Your mother isn't laughing at you, she's clearly laughing at your brother, okay?"

After leaving the cave, the four decided to wander around the island for a while before figuring out how to get out.

They had already discovered that the whirlpool wasn't very big, but there was an island and a large wasteland at the bottom. As long as they avoided the whirlpool and went upstream, they could definitely return to the surface of the sea.

Furthermore, after confirming their daughter's safety, they immediately contacted the Nanshan Patriarch using a sound transmission talisman.

Since they can communicate with the outside world, it means that this place is indeed only part of the seabed, and not, as they suspected, transported to other places.

They also asked Nanshan Laoye if he wanted to come to the sea area again. If he did, they could meet him at the coast after they found a way out.

Unfortunately, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan was frightened and said that he had already gathered with his disciples and did not want to venture into the sea again.

As for the storage ring that Yu Jinchen handed to him, the Old Ancestor of Nanshan said that he had not encountered Xu Qinghe and the others during this period, so he could only return it to him when he met Yu Jinchen and the others again.

Everyone has their own choices and doesn't need others to interfere too much. Xu Qingman and her husband also expressed their respect for the choice of the Old Ancestor of Nanshan.

However, Yu Jinchen also promised that if the harvest at sea was good, he could exchange it for some urgently needed spiritual herbs for Nanshan.

The four searched the island for most of the day and found quite a few rare medicinal herbs that were not found on land.

They even found several ice lotuses in an ice pool.

They arrived at the perfect time, when the ice lotus flowers were in full bloom. After picking all the ripe ones, they had nearly thirty flowers.

Just as the group was about to leave the icy pool, they saw Xu Qingman staring blankly into the distance, her face full of excitement.
