"Can we get out through that hole?" Xie Wanning pointed to the large hole in the ceiling above the pond.

Si Jinchuan looked up.

Xie Wanning saw his black blindfold from the side and asked cautiously, "Fellow Daoist Si, can you see?"

Xie Wan Ning was genuinely curious as to why Si Jin Chuan was wearing a blindfold. Could it be that his eyes were injured?

Seemingly noticing Xie Wanning's curious gaze, Si Jinchuan replied calmly, "As you can see, my eyes are sensitive to light, so I have to wear a blindfold."

Xie Wanning nodded gently and looked up at the cave entrance.

She pushed off with both feet and jumped up suddenly.

Si Jinchuan followed.

Upon exiting the cave, Xie Wanning was disappointed to find that the entrance was not the exit; the outside was still inside the cave.

"How could this happen?" Xie Wanning sighed.

Si Jinchuan walked ahead and said, "If we keep going in, we'll definitely find the entrance to the cave."

"Okay." Xie Wanning perked up and followed closely behind Si Jinchuan.

The two walked along the road, with Si Jinchuan holding a luminous stone in his hand, making everything around them clearly visible.

The cave is filled with a complex network of bends and forks, and swarms of third-order bats occasionally emerge, making it difficult to navigate.

Si Jinchuan walked ahead, like a general opening up new territories, holding a blood-red broadsword, resisting the bats' attacks, and easily moving through the cave.

Xie Wanning felt very safe following behind Si Jinchuan, as she had no chance to make a move.

Finally, the two arrived at the end of the road, where there was a stone wall with a fluorescent array carved on it.

"It seems we can get out by going through this stone wall." Xie Wanning looked excited and was itching to try out the formation.

Unexpectedly, Si Jinchuan stepped forward and quickly broke the formation.

Xie Wanning was stunned.

Isn't he from the Cloud Soaring Sect? I've never heard of the Cloud Soaring Sect teaching formations, let alone a sixth-grade formation.

Wait a minute, Xie Wan Ning was a little confused. How did she know what grade of formation this was? Could it be that she had really studied formations?

Before Xie Wan Ning could think, the stone wall in front of her shattered, revealing a spacious secret chamber.

The secret chamber was magnificent, filled with high-level elixirs and magical artifacts, and piled high-grade spirit stones into a small mountain.

Xie Wanning stared in disbelief, her eyes shining.

However, Xie Wanning did not immediately take it. She turned to Si Jinchuan and said seriously, "Fellow Daoist Si, you led me to explore the cave and you even saved my life, so all these treasures are yours. I will not fight you for them."

Xie Wanning is currently desperately poor, but she still knows how to distinguish between morality and wealth.

Si Jinchuan nodded calmly, went into the secret room, took a few magical artifacts, and then stopped.

He turned around and said, "Take the rest."

Xie Wanning was somewhat at a loss, and pointed awkwardly to herself: "Really? Give them all to me."

Si Jinchuan nodded in agreement.

Xie Wanning cheered and happily picked up the storage bag to start searching the secret room. She said gratefully, "Fellow Daoist Si, no, you will be my Brother Si from now on. Brother Si has been very kind to me, and I will definitely repay you."

Si Jinchuan did not answer, but slightly curved his lips and turned to walk towards the end of the secret room, where a candle was lit, flickering with a faint blue light.

After bowing respectfully, Si Jinchuan said, "Junior Si Jinchuan of Yunxiao Sect pays respects to the Invincible Daoist."

The blue candlelight burned fiercely, and soon a soul emitting a faint golden light appeared. It was none other than Wei Changsheng, the invincible Taoist who ascended five hundred years ago.

According to legend, the invincible Taoist Wei Changsheng was a rogue cultivator who mainly practiced swordsmanship and alchemy.

Five hundred years ago, he suddenly appeared out of nowhere, simultaneously declaring war on the eight major sects and engaging in martial arts competitions with their disciples.

After winning 101 matches, the game ended in a draw.

His reputation as the Invincible Taoist spread far and wide, and soon after, he successfully ascended to immortality and disappeared from the world of cultivation.

However, there are rumors in the martial arts world that the Invincible Taoist left behind treasures and secret techniques in the human world. For five hundred years, many people have been searching for the Invincible Taoist's legacy, hoping to cultivate the Great Dao through it.

Unexpectedly, the legacy of the Invincible Taoist was found in this unknown little secret realm, in this cave that no one had ever discovered.

The remnant soul of the invincible Taoist Wei Changsheng remained in the cave, hoping to find someone to inherit his cultivation technique.

Wei Changsheng felt a sense of pleasure as he looked at the polite Si Jinchuan.

“Young friend Si, I can tell that your cultivation path is physical arts, specializing in broadswords. At such a young age, your cultivation has already reached the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm. You are a rare cultivation prodigy.” Wei Changsheng stroked his beard, a smile playing at the corners of his eyes. “However, my cultivation method has its own successor, and that person is not you.”

Wei Changsheng could tell that Si Jinchuan's luck was weak and that he was not the first choice for successor.

Si Jinchuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and his voice was somewhat deep: "It is this junior who has disturbed the peace of senior. This junior will leave now."

Wei Changsheng sighed softly, "It's alright. Go get those high-level spiritual artifacts; consider them my gift to the younger generation."

After saying that, Wei Changsheng led Si Jinchuan back to the secret room.

Suddenly, Si Jinchuan saw Wei Changsheng's soul tremble slightly, and he seemed to hear a gasp.

Si Jinchuan looked into the secret chamber and saw that the cabinets that had been filled with spiritual herbs and artifacts were empty, the high-grade spirit stones that had filled the floor were gone, and even the stone bricks on the walls and the floor had been dug up.

Meanwhile, Xie Wanning, in the corner of the secret chamber, smashed the last floor tile with a punch, stuffed it into her storage bag, and muttered, "This is a thousand-year-old black iron stone, which can fetch a good price on the market. With so many spiritual treasures collected this time, I finally have money to buy some good things for Brother Xie and the others."

Xie Wanning looked smug, completely immersed in immense joy.

"Cough cough!" Wei Changsheng covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice.

Xie Wanning turned around and saw Si Jinchuan with his mouth slightly open, seemingly quite surprised. Beside him, an old man radiating golden light floated in the air.

Xie Wanning wiped the sweat from her face and immediately ran over, saying respectfully, "Junior Xu Weilin, a rogue cultivator, pays respects to Senior."

Xie Wanning could naturally tell that this was the illusory soul left behind by a powerful cultivator, so she had to show the proper courtesy.

Seeing Xie Wanning's politeness, Wei Changsheng's anger subsided somewhat, but his tone still carried annoyance: "Why did Fellow Daoist Xu plunder my secret chamber completely?"

Xie Wanning asked doubtfully, "I came to the secret realm to explore in search of treasures. There is a room full of treasures. If I don't take them, are I going to give them to others? I am a rogue cultivator and I understand the survival of the fittest in the cultivation world. If I am carefree today, I may lose my life tomorrow. Therefore, I will cherish every hard-won treasure and will not let others plunder it."

Xie Wanning spoke earnestly, her eyes sparkling.

Wei Changsheng was taken aback, then couldn't help but smile knowingly.

He was also a rogue cultivator and understood the hardships of cultivation. He had been blinded by anger, only feeling that his hard-earned treasures had been taken away. But he had already ascended to immortality; why should he value material possessions so much?

“It’s alright, young friend Xu is right, these treasures are yours.” Wei Changsheng waved his hand generously.

He wasn't guarding treasures in the secret chamber, but rather waiting for someone who could inherit his skills.

Xu Weilin in front of him was strange. Wei Changsheng had already ascended to immortality and his cultivation was unmatched, but he couldn't tell what kind of cultivation technique Xu Weilin was practicing, yet her luck was unusually high.

Perhaps I can teach her the techniques.

"Xu Weilin, I've finally found you!" A shout suddenly came from the doorway of the secret room, breaking Wei Changsheng's thoughts.
