Genius in the whole system: The useless young lady dominates the world

The night wind, carrying the damp chill unique to the Misty Canyon, gently brushed against everyone's faces. Lu Lingxi and Yao stood at the front of the group, their gazes fixed on the direction of the Yellow Spring Tomb. After a heated debate and weighing of their options, they finally decided to take the risk.

"The conspiracy of Immortal Doctor's Dock has been exposed. The Yellow Spring Root is not only related to Nalan Rongzhi's life, but also to the safety of the entire Ancient Continent." Lu Lingxi's voice was particularly clear in the night. "We have no choice but to take a gamble."

Zhuque stood beside Lu Lingxi, her fiery red hair fluttering in the night wind. She clenched her fists, her eyes burning with fury: "Those hypocritical bastards actually dared to use the Yellow Spring Root to control the spiritual energy lifeline, and even cultivated forbidden demonic arts. Their crimes are simply unforgivable!"

Huan Yue looked worried. He tugged at Lu Lingxi Yao's sleeve and whispered, "Master, the Yellow Spring Tomb sounds very dangerous. Do we really want to go in? Or... should we reconsider?"

Phantom gently patted Phantom Moon's shoulder and comforted her, "Phantom Moon, don't be afraid. We have our master here, and we will definitely be able to turn danger into safety. Moreover, if we don't stop Immortal Doctor's Dock, the consequences will be unimaginable."

Lu Lingxi turned to look at Bai Xiaochen, the personal disciple of the Hundred Herbs Master, who was standing at the back of the group with a complicated expression that revealed neither joy nor anger.

"Bai Xiaochen, are you sure the information you provided about the Tomb of the Underworld is accurate?" Lu Lingxi asked again. "This concerns the lives of all of us, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes."

Bai Xiaochen met Lu Lingxi's gaze and nodded: "I guarantee with my life that everything I said is true. The entrance to the Yellow Spring Tomb is at the deepest part of the Misty Canyon. There is a huge stone tablet there with the words 'Yellow Spring Tomb' engraved on it. However, the entrance is heavily guarded by the Immortal Doctor's Dock, so it is not easy to get in."

"Heavily guarded?" Lu Lingxi frowned slightly. "How many are there exactly? What is their strength?"

“There are at least a hundred people, most of whom are elite disciples of the Immortal Doctor's Pavilion, with strength at or above the Spirit Array Realm. Moreover, they have set up various arrays and traps. Once triggered, the consequences will be unimaginable,” Bai Xiaochen said.

“Hundreds of cultivators at the Spirit Array Realm level…” Lu Lingxi Yao secretly calculated in her heart. This force was indeed not to be underestimated. With their current strength, it would be almost impossible for them to break through head-on.

"It seems we'll have to outsmart them," Lu Lingxi said. "Bai Xiaochen, how much do you know about the interior of the Yellow Spring Tomb? Are there any loopholes or secret passages we can exploit?"

Bai Xiaochen pondered for a moment and said, "The situation inside the Yellow Spring Tomb is very complicated. Although I have been there a few times, I have only been on the outer perimeter and dare not go deep. However, I once heard my master mention that there is a secret passage inside the Yellow Spring Tomb that leads directly to the core area where the Yellow Spring Root is located."

"A secret passage?" A glint of light flashed in Lu Lingxi's eyes. "Where is this passage? How do we get in?"

"The entrance to this passage is very well hidden, located in a cave near the entrance to the Tomb of the Underworld. However, there is a powerful restriction at the entrance, which requires a special key to open," Bai Xiaochen said.

"A key?" Lu Lingxi Yao pressed, "What kind of key?"

“It’s a jade pendant with special runes engraved on it. This jade pendant was originally my master’s personal possession, but…” Bai Xiaochen hesitated.

"But what?" Lu Lingxi Yao urged.

“However, this jade pendant should now be in the hands of Liao Tianqi, the inspector of Immortal Doctor’s Village. Master was worried about losing it, so he entrusted it to Liao Tianqi for safekeeping,” Bai Xiaochen said.

Lu Lingxi's heart sank; it seemed that getting the key would be another difficult process.

"No matter what, we must get the key," Lu Lingxi said resolutely. "Bai Xiaochen, you're responsible for providing intelligence and assisting us in infiltrating the Yellow Spring Tomb. Zhuque, you're responsible for protecting everyone's safety and being ready to deal with any emergencies. Huanyue, you'll use your speed and agility to conduct reconnaissance and relay information. Huanying, you..."

Lu Lingxi looked at the phantom with a hint of worry in her eyes. The phantom had been affected by the previous battle, and his power had become restless. She was worried that the phantom would lose control again in the Yellow Spring Tomb.

"Phantom, you stay on the perimeter to support us. If we encounter any danger, retreat immediately," Lu Lingxi said.

The phantom shook its head: "Master, I'm fine. I can control my power. Let me go in with you. I can help you."

Looking at the resolute look in Huanying's eyes, Lu Lingxi Yao finally nodded: "Okay, but you must be careful. If you feel unwell, tell me immediately."

“Yes, Master,” the phantom replied.

With everything in place, everyone began checking their equipment. Lu Lingxi took out several defensive magical artifacts from her Kunlun Ring and distributed them to everyone. She also took out several bottles of pills and had everyone take them to enhance their spiritual power and defense.

"Everyone, remember, the key to this operation is secrecy and speed. We must try to avoid direct conflict with the cultivators of Immortal Doctor's Dock. Once we succeed, we must retreat immediately," Lu Lingxi Yao emphasized again.

"Understood!" everyone responded in unison.

As night fell, the Misty Canyon was shrouded in a thick fog, so thick that one could not see their own hand in front of their face. Led by Bai Xiaochen, Lu Lingxi and her group stealthily made their way towards the Tomb of the Underworld.

They carefully avoided the patrol teams of Xianyiwu, traversing through dense forests and rugged mountain paths. Bai Xiaochen would stop from time to time to check the direction and adjust the route.

"Everyone be careful, the entrance to the Tomb of the Underworld is just ahead," Bai Xiaochen said in a low voice.

Everyone held their breath, slowed their pace, and approached cautiously.

A massive stone tablet appeared before them, inscribed with three large, blood-red characters: "Tomb of the Underworld." A sinister and terrifying aura permeated the area around the tablet, sending chills down one's spine.

Around the stone tablet stood dozens of cultivators from the Immortal Doctor's Den, dressed in uniform and holding magical weapons, watching their surroundings warily.

"As expected, it's heavily guarded," Lu Lingxi thought to herself.

"What do we do?" Suzaku asked. "Should we force our way in?"

“No.” Lu Lingxi shook her head. “Forced entry will only alert the enemy. We must find a way to outsmart them.”

"Bai Xiaochen, where is that cave you mentioned?" Lu Lingxi asked.

Bai Xiaochen pointed to a secluded ravine to the left of the stone tablet: "It's right there, but there's a restriction at the entrance. We need to get the key first."

“I’ll distract the guards, and you guys take the opportunity to search for the key in the cave,” Lu Lingxi said.

"No, Master, it's too dangerous," Huan Yue said hurriedly.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing," Lu Lingxi said. "Wait for me here, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, Lu Lingxi Yao's figure flashed and disappeared into the night.

Following Lu Lingxi Yao's instructions, Zhuque, Huanyue, and Huanying hid in the shadows and waited quietly.

Not long after, a commotion arose in the distance, as if someone had discovered Lu Lingxi Yao's whereabouts.

"Quick, catch her!"

"Don't let her get away!"

"..."

The guards of Immortal Doctor's Dock rushed towards the direction from which the sound came, and a gap suddenly appeared at the originally heavily guarded entrance.

"Now!" Zhuque shouted, leading Huan Yue and Huan Ying towards the cave.

They quickly passed through the stone tablet and arrived at the cave entrance.

Sure enough, there was an invisible barrier at the entrance of the cave, sealing the entire cave completely.

"What should we do? We don't have the key," Huan Yue said anxiously.

“Let me give it a try,” Suzaku said.

She took a deep breath, circulated her spiritual energy, and formed a hand seal. A fiery red light shot out from her palm and struck the restriction.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, the barrier trembled slightly, but it was not broken.

"No, this restriction is too powerful; I can't break it," Suzaku said.

“Let me try,” Phantom said. He walked to the barrier, stretched out his hands, and gently pressed them onto it.

Countless tiny, blood-red vines appeared on his hands, wriggling slowly as if they were alive, and burrowed into the restriction.

"Click..."

With a soft sound, a crack appeared on the barrier.

"There's hope!" Huan Yue exclaimed in delight.

The phantom continued to urge the power of the Demon Blood Vine, and the cracks grew larger and larger until finally, the entire restriction shattered.

"Go in quickly!" Zhuque said.

The three quickly entered the cave to search for the key.
