"Hehe! Although your master is of high realm, the Soul Prohibition he taught is just at the beginner level. It is useful against weaker opponents like you, but utterly useless against stronger spirits. Hence, even though the evil spirit hasn't recovered to its peak condition, it can still easily pass through," Qingxu Immortal explained.

"Then why can't your white light pass through this Soul Prohibition?" Lin Yifan curiously asked.

Qingxu Immortal's realm was definitely comparable to that of the devil, so if the evil spirit could easily pass through, why couldn't he?

"My form here is but a remnant thought, not a soul; and that white light is merely a mark with no power, therefore it cannot cross the Soul Prohibition," Qingxu Immortal answered.

"What now? Are all your lifelong learnings to be wasted just like that?" Lin Yifan felt somewhat unwilling.

The treasure that was supposedly within easy reach had now vanished, really felt like crying.

"Hehe! Don't be afraid, what belongs to you will always be yours," Qingxu Immortal reassured.

"What do you mean?" Lin Yifan was puzzled and did not understand what Qingxu Immortal meant.

"It means that I can erase the Soul Prohibition on your forehead and restore your freedom," Qingxu Immortal answered.

"Really? But, won't this attract my master's attention?" Lin Yifan expressed his excitement and worry simultaneously.

If his master discovered that the Soul Prohibition on his forehead had been erased, he would surely demand it be restored, effectively wasting all efforts.

"Don't worry, I won't let him know that the Soul Prohibition on your forehead has been erased," Qingxu Immortal comforted.

"Really?" Lin Yifan's face lit up with joy, his heart blooming with happiness; if he could really erase the Soul Prohibition without anyone noticing, he could lead a life of freedom and no longer have to appease others.

"Mmm!" Qingxu Immortal nodded in response.

Lin Yifan was overjoyed and hurriedly exclaimed, "Then, Immortal, please quickly erase the Soul Prohibition on my forehead. I would be deeply grateful."

"No need for formalities, I would not allow my disciple to be someone controlled by others."

Having said that, Qingxu Immortal waved his hand, and the Soul Prohibition on Lin Yifan's forehead was instantly erased.

Seeing Qingxu Immortal wave his hand and then cease any further action, Lin Yifan curiously asked, "Is it done?"

"It's done," Qingxu Immortal replied.

"That quick?" Lin Yifan was somewhat dumbfounded and could hardly believe it was true.

Bright True Master took his time sketching something on his forehead, yet Qingxu True Master resolved it with a mere wave of his hand, it was incredibly impressive.

"Hehe! To deal with such low-level Prohibition, how long did you expect me to take?" Qingxu Immortal countered.

At that moment, Lin Yifan realized who truly cared for him and immediately requested, "Qingxu Immortal! Please accept me as your disciple, from now on, in my heart, I recognize only you as my master."

"Hehe! I was already prepared to pass on all my lifelong knowledge to you, would I reject you, my disciple?"

"Then master, please accept your disciple's bow!" Lin Yifan wished to get up, but found his body in extreme pain and was completely unable to stand.

"There's no need, I will soon perish, and while there is still a little time left, I will impart all my lifelong teachings to you."

Having finished speaking, Qingxu Immortal hastily began to impart Martial Arts knowledge to Lin Yifan.

The next moment, another beam of white light emitted from the fingertip of Qingxu Immortal, transferring into the center of Lin Yifan's forehead.

This time, the imprint of Qingxu Immortal's lifelong Martial Arts knowledge quickly merged into Lin Yifan's mind and stabilized.

A short while later, Qingxu Immortal slowly opened his mouth and said, "It is done! I have imparted all my knowledge to you. Whether you can comprehend it depends entirely on your destiny."

"Thank you, Master!" Lin Yifan sincerely thanked him, then asked, "Master! Are you going to disappear now?"

He wanted to call Fangfang in and ask Qingxu Immortal to remove the Soul Prohibition in the center of her forehead as well.

"Soon!" Qingxu Immortal replied.

"Then, Master, could you remove the Soul Prohibition for my partner as well?" Lin Yifan asked tentatively.

"Is your partner from the same sect as you?" Qingxu Immortal asked curiously.

"Yes!" Lin Yifan nodded in response.

"Alright, call her in quickly. I might not last another two minutes," Qingxu Immortal urged.

Lin Yifan hurriedly called Fangfang inside: "Fangfang! I've killed the Mountain God. Come in quickly."

After consuming a demon spirit's soul, his Spiritual Power had greatly increased, so his body had significantly recovered. Although he still couldn't move excessively, he could at least speak loudly now; that's why he had been able to converse with Qingxu Immortal just now.

On the other hand, outside the cave, ever since verifying that the Lin Yifan inside the cave was a fake, Fangfang had been at a loss and unsure of what to do.

If she went back to ask their Master for help, Lin Yifan would have certainly died by then; but if she rashly charged in herself, she would also face mortal danger, making it totally not worth risking her life.

As she was indecisively conflicted, Lin Yifan's voice came again from inside the cave.

Thinking that this voice was still an imitation by the Mountain God, she responded, "You're lying. You're the Mountain God."

Lin Yifan was speechless. He hadn't expected Fangfang to be so vigilant. However, now wasn't the time to explain further, so he directly responded, "I'm not the Mountain God. I am the real Lin Yifan!"

"Then what proof do you have?" Fangfang continued to question.

"Peach Blossom Valley, thousand-year-old Blood Ginseng, airplane, bathroom, swimsuit store, food street, water park—do these suffice?" Lin Yifan counterasked.

Hearing Lin Yifan in the cave rapidly list so many places and items loosened Fangfang's guarded heart.

She had been present at all these places and events, thus they were part of their shared memories, and only the real Lin Yifan would know them.

However, now that Lin Yifan was in the hands of another, and considering they could force Lin Yifan to speak or even conduct a Soul Search to learn about his past, she still couldn't decide to trust that this was indeed the real Lin Yifan, especially after the recent verification that made her even more cautious.

"Not enough, unless you can correctly answer my earlier question," Fangfang responded.

Lin Yifan was utterly frustrated. Just as he was about to answer, Qingxu Immortal suddenly spoke up, "Disciple, I am about to disappear. The Soul Prohibition on your partner can only be removed when your cultivation significantly increases in the future. Also, on the fountain in the center of the Cave Mansion, there is a ring. It is a storage ring, rare in this world; you must keep it safe.

Whoever obtains the ring will own the entire Cave Mansion; hence, after getting the ring, you will be able to take possession of the entire Cave Mansion. Lastly, what I want to tell you is, trust no one, especially your master."
