I'm accumulating points in the cultivation world.

Tang Doudou collected all the slightly valuable items in the cave and searched for the mechanism again, but unfortunately, she still couldn't find it.

"System, scan again, just in case you missed anything..."

"So you really do manage to leave empty-handed! Fine, scan it then!" the system said, scanning the entire mountain.

"How dare you! Who are you to disturb me!" a sharp voice rang out.

Tang Doudou was startled and quickly hid.

A spiritual sense swept over Tang Doudou. Knowing she couldn't dodge, Tang Doudou quickly said, "Senior, I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I shouldn't have bothered you."

The spiritual sense stopped on Tang Doudou, looked her over several times, and then said, "You little rascal, you're really strange. Come up here and let me take a look."

Tang Doudou quickly agreed, "Okay!"

Tang Doudou left the cave and flew towards the top on her sword. As soon as she reached the top, she felt a flash of spiritual energy, and a cave appeared in front of her.

Tang Doudou stopped her sword, jumped to the cave entrance, and then said respectfully, "Senior, this junior has arrived."

"Come in!" a voice came from inside.

Tang Doudou walked inside and entered the cave, only to discover that it was a completely different world inside.

"If you dig a tunnel, I'll dig a tunnel too. Aren't we afraid of digging through this mountain!"

"What are you muttering about, little one?" an old man with white hair and beard asked with a smile.

"No, I didn't say anything," Tang Doudou quickly said with a smile. "I was thinking that the senior looked like a hermit, a great being who lived as long as heaven and earth and shone as brightly as the sun and moon."

The old man laughed even more heartily, "You little rascal, you know how to flatter, much more interesting than that simpleton, the sect leader."

"Then you must be a highly respected and unique patriarch of the sect!" Tang Doudou said with a fawning smile.

"I wouldn't call myself an ancestor," the old man stroked his beard and said with a smile, "but in the Xuantian Sect, I make all the important decisions."

"Of course, you look like someone who can take charge of the overall situation!" Tang Doudou quickly said with a smile, "This junior is a newly initiated disciple of the Xuantian Sect, paying respects to the Ancestor."

"You little brat, are you begging me for something?" the old man asked with a smile.

"Look at what you're saying, I admire you from the bottom of my heart, that's why I bowed to you. But... I..."

"Little one, you know how to play hard to get. Tell me, what is it? I'll help you," the old man said with a smile.

"Thank you, Ancestor. I made a promise to someone that I would definitely break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage within a week. Just transfer some spiritual energy to me, and maybe..."

Before Tang Doudou could finish speaking, she felt an invisible foot kick her away.

"If you're not willing, can I ask for something else?" Tang Doudou asked softly at the door.

Unfortunately, there was no sound at all inside.

This doesn't make sense. In novels I've read before, when the male and female protagonists encounter reclusive masters, those masters would transfer their life's cultivation to them, allowing their cultivation to soar to new heights!

Is it because I'm doing something wrong today?

"Stop dreaming. Those novels have really corrupted your brain! If it were me, I'd kick you off a cliff." The system said helplessly.

"Ancestors..."

"I am not your ancestor, get out!" came an angry shout from inside.

It seemed there was no hope from the ancestor, so Tang Doudou flew towards the cave entrance on her sword.

"Why are you back again?" the system asked, puzzled.

"I opened it the wrong way today. I've already restarted it. Let's open it again," Tang Doudou said with a smile. She then went into the cave, but after checking around, she still found no mechanisms.

Tang Doudou was so angry that she kicked him twice more.

The next second, Tang Doudou felt the entire cave begin to crumble with a "pattering" sound, and she quickly flew out of the cave.

As soon as Tang Doudou flew out, she heard a rumbling sound.

"Who goes there!" the old ancestor's voice rang out again.

Before long, dozens of cultivators flew out of the cave.

"Who exactly is disturbing my cultivation!" The patriarch looked at everyone.

"Grandmaster, spare us! We disciples were all cultivating just now." The crowd quickly bowed.

"That's you." The ancestor locked onto Tang Doudou.
