Yang Lake Grotto Heaven.

With the descent of the grotto heaven's will, Jiang Ning instantly understood the rules of this place.

Yang Lake Grotto Heaven is the trial ground of a place called Shangyang Immortal Sect.

After countless ages, the grotto heaven reopens, and he naturally participates in this trial upon arrival.

As a participant in the trial, he must become the final winner on this island to qualify for the next round.

The winner of each round has the right to withdraw.

Shangyang Immortal Sect...

Jiang Ning muttered to himself.

He looked in the direction of the island, and amidst the unknown, he sensed a vague perception.

According to the information that just surged into his mind, he knows that this is the opponent selected for him by the will of the Pocket World.

Once opponents are selected, both parties will gain a vague sense of each other's location.

So in this trial, it is meaningless to just evade, as evading alone cannot lead to victory.

"The rules of the grotto heaven are indeed unusual!"

At this moment, Jiang Ning's understanding of the mystical nature of the Pocket World deepened.

He then left the beach and began to venture deeper into the island.

The peculiar environment where ten suns share the sky has imbued the world's Spirit Plants with Great Sun Essence Qi.

Just now, within only a short span of time, the progress in his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill equaled the usual gain of an entire day.

How could he miss such an opportunity?

As for becoming the winner of this island, it is secondary compared to acquiring experience for his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill.

Under the guidance of the unknown, he doesn't need to seek out his opponent; the opponent will naturally present themselves.

...

Elsewhere.

A girl in a blue long dress, brimming with Zhong Ling and Liu Xiu's elegance, finished digesting the information in her mind, and a joyous expression immediately appeared in her eyes.

"The records in the ancient books were indeed correct; this place is truly one of Shangyang Immortal Sect's trial grounds!"

"If I can win, I'll gain the status of an Inner Sect Disciple of the Shangyang Immortal Sect and receive its core inheritance. With this opportunity, when the world's environment fully revives in the near future, I might not be unworthy of becoming an immortal ancestor!"

With this thought, her eyes gleamed with light.

She glanced at the Spirit Fruit she had just picked, then stored it in her bundle.

Upon entering the Pocket World, she found that her storage tools had failed, and nothing could be retrieved.

She wasn't surprised by this.

The Pocket World is an independent small world apart from the external world.

Rules here are distinct; storage spaces generally fail in such places.

Especially since this place is a trial ground of the Shangyang Immortal Sect, restricting the use of spatial tools is perfectly reasonable.

Without this restriction, the trial would lose all fairness.

So, she could only tear off an inner garment and use it as a bundle to pack the Spirit Plant she had just discovered.

Meanwhile.

Jiang Ning discovered the same thing.

Because he found a fist-sized ore.

The ore was crimson red, with six orifices on its surface, occasionally spewing red flames from the orifices.

Using his Fire Eye ability to see energy concentration and flow, he found this ore in a crevice of a skyward-standing boulder.

But when he tried to store this strange stone into his pouch, he found the Jiezhi Leaf on his wrist was in a dormant state.

"Is it restricted by the rules?" A thought surfaced in Jiang Ning's mind.

With a little contemplation, he felt that his guess was likely correct.

In such a large-scale trial ground, having these sorts of limitations is very normal.

Otherwise, the trial would be too unfair.

Looking at the crimson ore in his hand, Jiang Ning thought briefly, then put it in his mouth.

Crunch!

His hard jaws bit down, and the rock instantly broke like a crisp apple, with him biting off a large chunk.

Crunch—

Crunch—

He felt his teeth were in excellent condition as he chewed bit by bit, the immensely tough ore turning into fragments in his mouth, and with a swallow, it went down his throat.

The next moment.

Whoosh—

Two tongues of flame spurted out from his nostrils.

"So refreshing!" His eyes brightened, and not only did he not feel any pain, but he also felt an indescribable comfort all over his body.

A warm sensation spread throughout his limbs and bones.

Shortly afterward, he focused his mind, refining the flowing Essence Qi.

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +7]

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +9]

[Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill experience +6]

[...]

Prompt after prompt flashed before his eyes.

"Just as I thought!" Seeing the prompts, Jiang Ning slightly lifted the corners of his mouth, feeling delighted.

Afterward, he multitasked.

Refining the abundant Essence Qi from the ore in his body while nibbling the Six Orifice Ore like a wild fruit.

In the blink of an eye.

The fist-sized unknown ore entered his stomach.

He held his breath, concentrating fully on refining the copious Essence Qi within.

Prompts continued flashing before him.

After a long time, he slowly opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill (Once Break Limit 6277/20000) (Trait: Longevity Species (Light Purple))

Seeing the changes on the panel, he couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth.

Before entering the Shangyang Immortal Sect Cave Heaven, the experience value of his Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill was only above four thousand, still several hundred points away from five thousand.

Now, the experience value has risen to over six thousand.

In less than two hours, his experience growth could rival ten days of ordinary hard work.

The biggest boost came from refining the Six Orifice Ore.

According to his observations before and after, that single ore alone gave him over a thousand points of experience increase.

"I did not expect such unexpected gains from this journey to Yang Lake Grotto Heaven!!"

Closing the panel, looking at the convergence and intertwining of energy ahead.

Jiang Ning felt secretly delighted.

He came here with the original intention of finding Heavenly Gang Yang.
