The Ancient Cultivator's Secret Realm has surprisingly revealed a True Cave Mansion, and cultivators at the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage and below are allowed to enter.

Someone consulted ancient records and discovered that the master of this cave was the renowned Master Han Yue from the Central Continent over four thousand years ago.

When the news spread, the entire Corpse-Driving Sect was in an uproar.

It's known that the Spirit Veins, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that appeared in the Secret Realm previously were primarily of great benefit to the sect.

Therefore, the sect needed to rely on a contribution system and prioritized distribution of Foundation Establishment Pills to drive True Disciples to go forth and compete for 'foundations' for the sect.

And in the True Cave Mansion, it is often found that the magic treasures, elixirs, talismans, and even the inheritance used by the Golden Core Master in their lifetime are hidden!

These the sect will not take, and they are of significant benefit to the cultivator themselves.

Especially the inheritance, which may contain the master's insights when breaking through to Foundation Establishment and Golden Core stages...

Even if one doesn't have a smooth breakthrough, it can greatly reduce the difficulty.

There have been many such examples in the Cultivation Realm, where someone initially unknown soared to prominence after obtaining the inheritance of an ancient cultivator.

As a result, a large number of Inner Sect Disciples rushed to inquire about tasks, causing the Task Hall to become overcrowded.

The Corpse-Driving Sect had to release a new regulation:

The cave mansion task requires Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples to work together, with a minimum of three people accepting the task.

The Ancient Cultivator's Secret Realm is vast and boundless, and Inner Sect Disciples need an escort from True Disciples to safely reach the cave mansion in the depths of the Secret Realm.

Otherwise, if a late-stage Qi Refining cultivator from the Red Sun Sect came out to ambush, it could lead to complete annihilation.

Of course, the exchange of various benefits and distribution of favors among them must be discussed in advance by Inner Sect and True Disciples themselves, without much interference from the sect.

...

Wendao Peak.

"Junior Brother Wang, the True Cave Mansion is fraught with dangers, and inheritance is not so easy to obtain. You and Yueyue must work together diligently and be extremely careful."

"Senior Brother Yan, rest assured, you will hold down the fort for me in the Secret Realm, and in the cave mansion, I will take care of Sister-in-law."

The two men and one woman were walking along a secluded path.

One of the young men, wearing a light blue Daoist Robe, was short and slightly plump, with fair skin.

He had an ever-present proud expression, and was Wang Wenbai, who had entered the sect at the same time as Lou Yi.

The other two, a man and a woman, were affectionately holding hands.

The man was handsome, and the woman was beautiful—the protagonists of the previous conflict on Guest Welcoming Peak between the Cyan Cloud Alliance and the Four Seas Association.

The man was Yan Zechen, the Hall Master of the Cyan Cloud Alliance, and the woman was Li Xinyue, who had violated her childhood engagement.

Li Xinyue had fair skin and attractive features, tall and slender, and upon hearing the word 'sister-in-law' from Wang Wenbai, her face involuntarily showed a tinge of blush.

"For this journey to the cave mansion, I plan to invite You Qingyi. She is a top disciple of the Spirit Medicine Hall and has plenty of elixirs. With her assistance, it would be like adding wings to a tiger," Wang Wenbai strategically revealed his plan.

Li Xinyue laughed, "I've heard of this You Qingyi, who is known as the Ice Mountain Fairy.

Although beautiful, she has always been indifferent to men, causing many to hit a wall. Are you really confident?"

Yan Zechen teased, "That depends on who invites her. If it's the grandson of Elder Wang, wouldn't she rush to agree?"

Hearing this, Wang Wenbai puffed out his chest, his face full of self-confidence.

The group chatted as they made their way to a mansion marked by a plaque with the words 'Jade Heaven' on it.

"Tell Fellow Daoist You Qingyi that someone is here to see her." Wang Wenbai said coolly, standing with his hands behind his back.

"Senior Brother, please wait a moment." The young boy at the door said politely.

Then he jogged into the mansion, clearly to announce their arrival.

After a while, a graceful and charming figure walked out from the mansion, making Wang Wenbai and the others' eyes light up.

She appeared, with skin as smooth as jade, eyebrows like the new moon, her demeanor as cold as a snow lotus. It was You Qingyi, whose beauty was famed throughout the entire sect.

Even Li Xinyue, who was rather confident in her own looks, couldn't help but feel inferior, with an indescribable sense of inadequacy when seeing You Qingyi.

"Fairy You, long time no see..." Wang Wenbai cleared his throat, stepping two steps closer to her.

"Brother Wang, what brings you here?" But before Wang Wenbai could exchange pleasantries, You Qingyi cut him off without mercy.

Her eyes were cold and devoid of emotion as she looked at him.

"Well, Fairy You, you've probably also heard, right? There's a True Cave Mansion now in the Ancient Cultivator's Secret Realm.

The master of the mansion is Master Han Yue, a top-tier Golden Core from over four thousand years ago.

If one could obtain her inheritance, achieving Foundation Establishment would be a sure thing, and Core Formation wouldn't be impossible either. I wonder if Fairy You is interested in joining us..." Wang Wenbai, with an awkward smile, extended an invitation to You Qingyi.

"Not interested." You Qingyi left behind just these three words before turning to head back to the mansion.

While Wang Wenbai's smile was thoroughly frozen on his face.

At this moment, a sweet voice rang out not far away:

"Qingyi, I've been looking for you!"

Hearing this voice, You Qingyi reluctantly turned back around.

They saw a girl with apricot eyes, peach cheeks, a proud figure, and dimples bouncing over.

Who else could it be but her friend Bi Yaoyao?

Bi Yaoyao glanced curiously at Wang Wenbai and the others, and then said, "Have you heard about the True Cave Mansion? I'm here to team up with you, hehe...

By the way, shall we soon call Lou blockhead?"

"Okay." You Qingyi nodded expressionlessly.

The two girls turned around holding hands and entered the mansion, leaving Wang Wenbai and the others standing outside in the cold wind.

'Damn it!' Wang Wenbai felt the astonished gaze from Yan Zechen and Li Xinyue beside him, his face burning, his heart burning with rage.

'Why? Why does this Lou Yi brat get to be with them?!'

"Who is Lou blockhead?" Li Xinyue asked curiously.

"Just a Lower-Grade Spirit Root, named Lou Yi, and he snatched my Innate Spirit Corpse. Otherwise, I'd have reached Qi Cultivation Fifth Level by now." Wang Wenbai said coldly, with a hint of resentment flashing in his eyes.

"Oh, this person is so clueless?" Yan Zechen asked, sharing Wang's grievances, "Junior Brother Wang, don't be angry, if we meet him in the Secret Realm, teach him a lesson."

"Teach him, haha, I must make him remember." Wang Wenbai replied coldly.

"Isn't that going too far?

After all, fighting among fellow disciples, if discovered by others, could lead to punishment from the sect." Li Xinyue expressed some concern.

"What are you afraid of? Only those who are at the Qi Cultivation level can enter the Secret Realm.

Not to mention teaching him a lesson, even if you kill him, as long as it's done discreetly, the Foundation Establishment Elders won't know who did it." Yan Zechen said dismissively.

Upon hearing this, Wang Wenbai's eyes lit up, and an unprecedented murderous intent rose in his heart.

...

Top of the Disciple Peak.

"Master Han Yue, late-stage Golden Core, just one step away from breaking through to Nascent Soul True Monarch?"

"As long as you obtain her inheritance, achieving Foundation Establishment is a certainty, and the hope of breaking through to Golden Core isn't small either?"

"She was also a master of alchemy, with three signature elixirs, Moonlight Dew, Clear Wind Pill, Ancient Moon Pill... wait, there's Moonlight Dew?"

Lou Yi looked surprised at You Qingyi and Bi Yaoyao, his heart somewhat tempted.
