Chapter 10: Perseverance and clear mind to obtain the treasures of the ancient cave
“In one day, not only can you master the divine and demonic martial arts, but you can also replenish your qi and blood foundation?” Ji Yuan’s eyes lit up.

"Well, the premise is that you have to be able to obtain that spiritual object."

"How do you say that?"

"To tell you the truth, the reason why I came to Wolong Ridge is that there is a mansion left by an ancient great master in this valley. The elixir is in that mansion."

"In that case, why didn't you take it yourself before, Senior?"

"With my magical power, I can easily remove the entire Wolong Ridge. Unfortunately, the abandoned mansion has layers of forbidden spells. If we are not careful, the abandoned mansion will explode and be destroyed."

"However, I have almost wiped out those forbidden spells over the years, but there is still one level of barriers, and only mortals without magical powers can enter."

At this point, Qing Si looked at Ji Yuan thoughtfully: "That great master has profound knowledge and foresight. You are here today and you meet me. Who knows if the elixir will be yours or mine."

"Oh? Why can't someone else get it?" Ji Yuan didn't really believe in the art of foresight.

"To enter the Forgotten Mansion, you must have no magical power, this is the first point; secondly, you must understand the key points and guidance to gain access; and I happen to be the only one in this world who understands the key points and mysteries."

"Okay, so what should I do?"

"Two and a half miles east of here, there is a dangerous white cliff that is hundreds of miles wide. If you feel your way along the bottom of the cliff, you will find a three-foot-long white iron tree that is very conspicuous. It is right there. If you push aside the grass and vines, you will see that there is a mechanism on the cliff behind it. Knock on it three times and a cave will appear."

"When you enter the cave, walk straight ahead. There will be a mountain of knives stabbing you in front of you. You must be resolute and take five steps. If you take one more step, you will be smashed into dust by lightning."

"So, you must avoid it in advance and not take one more step."

"At this time, you turn right and the divine fire will burn you again. If you want to see your true nature, you also need to take five steps."

Ji Yuan nodded carefully: "And then?"

"Then, a red-step crane wall will appear in front of you, with a few feet tall dwarf pine tree on it, called 'Thousand Pine Trees', and there will be spiritual objects on it. You must pull them all off, and the task will be completed."

"If it's done, don't rush to leave. Check the stone box under the steps to see if there are two scrolls of scriptures. If there are, take those scriptures away as well."

Qing Si thought for a moment and added, "Oh, by the way, go out. If someone calls you along the way, don't look back."

"What if you turn back?"

"There is a mirror in the cave. The great master has cast a spell on it. If you look back, your image will be left in the mirror, and you will surely die."

"There is no time to lose, go and get it now. If you delay any further, something unexpected might happen." Qing Si urged.

Ji Yuan memorized the key points taught by Qing Si, walked out of the valley and headed east.

After walking about two miles, we saw a steep cliff in front of us, which stretched for hundreds of miles. Below the cliff was dense grass and vines.

Ji Yuan explored forward along the cliff wall, and soon found the white iron tree that Qingsi had mentioned. It had dense branches and dots of white flowers.

"It should be right here."

He pushed aside the grass and vines behind the iron tree and knocked gently on the stone cliff three times.

"Click, click!" There was a sound of mechanism.

On the stone cliff in front of him, there was a door about three feet wide and ten feet high. It was pitch black inside and he couldn't see the bottom clearly.

Ji Yuan calmed himself, took a deep breath, and walked in.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the cave, the scene in front of me suddenly changed.

"Clang, clang, clang" the sound of metal rubbing against each other was heard, and countless sharp blades suddenly appeared from all directions, with shining blades, stabbing straight towards the body.

Ji Yuan had no time to dodge, the sound of "Puff" entering the flesh was loud, he felt severe pain all over his body, and blood flowed like a column.

Instinctively, I couldn't help but want to retreat to avoid the sharp blade.

"We cannot retreat. If we retreat, we will die without a burial place." Qing Si's instructions seemed to echo in his mind.

Ji Yuan gritted his teeth, faced the sharp blades coming from all directions, and walked forward with difficulty.

The pain went deep into my bones, as if I was being cut into pieces by a thousand knives.

One step…two steps~five steps!

Ji Yuan became alert and his expression became clear. He quickly stopped. According to Qing Si's words, if he took one more step, he would be hit by endless lightning and die without a burial place.

He gritted his teeth, turned around, and took a step to the right.

Wow…

The endless mountain of swords and sharp blades disappeared in an instant.

The scene in front of me changed again.

The blazing flames spread from all directions, making one feel as if one was inside a furnace.

The clothes were instantly burnt and the skin and flesh were torn.

"It's all just an illusion!" Ji Yuan endured the pain and simply closed his eyes and walked straight forward. But the pain was very real, and even with his eyes closed, the sizzling sound of oil and the burning smell were clearly heard.

Just five more steps.

The burning sensation in my body disappeared, and a cool feeling spread throughout my body.

Faintly, the body seemed to undergo a mysterious change.

Ji Yuan opened his eyes and looked around himself. As expected, he was not hurt at all, even his clothes were intact.

In front of him was a wall with a relief image of a crane. A short rock pine several feet tall grew out from the cracks in the stone wall.

The twisted dwarf pine trees are seven or eight feet tall, with fluffy branches. There are wisps of clouds and mist all around, and the glow of the sunset is hazy.

There were only three red, round, thumb-sized fruits on the pine tree.

The alluring fragrance spreads throughout the stone chamber, refreshing the heart and making the whole body cool and refreshed.

Ji Yuan did not delay. He walked forward and jumped up, plucking all three fairy fruits from the thousand pine trees.

He turned his head to search again, and sure enough, he saw a crack in the stone under the red wall, with two pages of the golden scroll inside.

He pulled them all out, without taking a closer look, and put them all in his arms along with the red fruits and walked out.

Just turned around and walked out.

But Qingsi's voice rang in my ears: "Ji Erwa, you forgot to take something. It's on the red wall."

Ji Yuan acted as if he didn't hear anything and walked out without looking back.

"Erwa, I'm still here." The most familiar voice sounded.

"Sister-in-law?" Ji Yuan was stunned but did not turn around.

"Who are you, a thief, to dare to steal the rare treasures of the immortals!" Another gloomy and angry shout came from behind.

"Stop. If you take another step, there will be no trace of your body left."

It seemed like he couldn't scare Ji Yuan anymore, so he ignored her and walked straight out of the cave.

As soon as they came out of the cave, there was a huge "boom" sound, and the entire cave collapsed and turned into scattered rocks.

"Hmm? There is no text on these two pages of the book." Ji Yuan took out two pages of the golden book and looked through them.

There was no text on it; it was completely blank.

However, as soon as the three red fruits in his arms came out of the cave, their fragrance spread for miles. The inexplicable fragrance attracted toads, insects, hares, birds and other livestock within a radius of several miles to fly away in fright, trying to pounce on Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan quickly released the insects from the centipede bee bag, using the insects' evil spirit to drive away the small beasts.

……

Seeing Ji Yuan running back, Qing Si's eyes, as big as bronze bells, showed joy: "Good boy, you really have the determination and perseverance. I knew you could succeed."

Ji Yuan held the three red fruits in his hands.

"This thing is called 'Red Fruit'. It blooms once every three hundred years, bears fruit once every three hundred years, and takes another three hundred years to mature. It can cleanse the marrow and strengthen the tendons."

"If you want to quickly master the martial arts of gods and demons, you must have this."

"But it's useless to take too much of this. Give me one pill. Take one yourself. You have a sister-in-law, so give the remaining one to her."

Ji Yuan did not object and fed Qing Si a pill. Qing Si swallowed it in one gulp without chewing it and closed his eyes to refine it.

After a while, Qing Si opened his eyes, let out a breath, and the wounds on his body healed a little faster.

"Oh, by the way, what about the two pages of the golden book in the box?" Qing Si seemed to remember something.

Upon hearing this, Ji Yuan took out the two pages of the golden book without hesitation: "Senior, I see that there are no words on this golden book. Can you tell the meaning of it?"

Qing Si looked at it for a long time and was a little disappointed: "This thing is useless to us. It was written by that great master for himself. It should be a record of the introductory method of Qi Refining, but no one can read it except him. What a pity."

"Keep the golden book with you. It may be useful to you in the future."

"Then I will accept it." Ji Yuan was extremely happy and put the two pages of the golden book into his pocket.

Then he took out a red fruit and was about to swallow it with his head tilted back.

"slow!"

Qing Si quickly stopped him: "Do you think you are me? This red fruit may look insignificant, but it has the power of a thousand years. If you swallow it directly, you won't be able to bear it if you don't have the power to refine it."

"What should I do?"

"I will now teach you a divine and demonic martial art. You should spend half a day to master some boxing techniques, and then swallow the Vermillion Fruit to refine it."
