My tribe has been invincible for thirty years of gacha pulls.

After exchanging words with the others, the documentary team discovered that Shan Shuo's team had not yet returned, and immediately frowned.

He pulled up the system panel and found that there were no casualties, which finally put his mind at ease.

After thinking it over carefully for a while, he made arrangements for Zheng and went directly to the illusory figure.

"You're back from Mangshan? How did it go? Did you obtain the fourth-tier inheritance?"

Upon seeing the documentary, the illusory figure smiled and spoke.

The illusory figure naturally knew about Ji Shi's trip to Mangshan. Seeing Ji Shi return in good condition, it understood that he had gained a lot.

The documentary team nodded and then recounted their experience to the other party.

The illusory figure had initially appeared quite calm, but upon hearing that the old white tiger wanted to replace Ji Shi, his expression immediately turned sour.

Upon hearing that Si Bao was surrounded, he suddenly stood up and silently stared at the documentary.

Although he didn't speak, the latter understood what he meant.

"Don't worry, Ancestor, Si Bao is fine."

Upon hearing this, the illusory figure nodded, relieved.

Taking this opportunity, Ji Shi said, "Senior, you should still have some spiritual spring water here, right? Si Bao is about to advance to the fourth rank and needs spiritual spring water."

The illusory figure stared at the documentary with a hint of silence.

No wonder this kid told me so much about this matter in such detail; he was waiting for me to figure it out!

He remained silent for a long time before finally sighing, "I do have spiritual springs here, but not many. Only four portions are well preserved. You need to find six more portions. Although theoretically, the maximum that humans can absorb is nine portions, you need to be prepared just in case."

"What exactly is your relationship with Si Bao? Why are you so protective of her? Even your remaining consciousness does so."

Unable to hold back any longer, the documentary team asked.

The illusory figure silently watched the documentary, but after a long silence, he let out a sigh.

"I'm not targeting Si Bao... but the entire Youjiao clan. I've hindered the development of a female ancestor of the Youjiao clan who was capable of reaching the sixth rank and possessed extraordinary talent..."

The illusory figure sighed, a hint of regret in its eyes.

Ji Shi quickly understood. In short, the ancestor of the Youjiao clan was originally capable of becoming a sixth-order wizard by following the proper cultivation path, but he encountered a phantom figure from his youth.

The person from the Youjiao clan at that time was also a person of extraordinary talent, but the illusory figure was even more powerful.

The result was self-evident: the illusory figure not only defeated the opponent, but also won the affections of the Youjiao clan ancestor.

However, the illusory figure at the time was a guardian of the lineage and could not get married. He was focused on cultivation and was completely unaware of this matter, treating the other party only as a very good friend.

When the illusory figure finally advanced to the fifth rank, this ancestor of the Youjiao clan was only at the fourth rank.

In order to catch up with the illusory figure, this ancestor of the Youjiao clan was bewitched by a demon and led it into the tribe...

By the time the illusory figure realized all this, it was too late.

He had actually considered annihilating the Youjiao clan, but he simply couldn't bring himself to do it, especially with the spying from other enemies of the same level.

Under these circumstances, the illusory figure could only postpone the matter, leaving a thorn in his heart.

The only thing he could do was to support a branch within the Youjiao clan, so as to resist the demon from within.

That's why he showed that expression when he heard that Si Bao came from the Youjiao clan.

"Sometimes, self-cultivation is important, but you still need to pay attention to the people around you, and at least reassure them."

The illusory figure looked at the documentary with a meaningful gaze, leaving the latter somewhat bewildered.

What does it have to do with me?

However, he wouldn't refuse this person's request, especially since the other party had just provided four portions of spiritual spring water.

The documentary immediately nodded earnestly: "You're absolutely right! I'll keep that in mind."

"Alright, remember what I said, don't talk nonsense, and get lost!"

Four soul stones containing spiritual springs appeared in Ji Shi's hands, giving him no chance to resist before he left through the spatial rift.

The illusory figure sat on a stone seat, its eyes looking somewhat forlorn.

After a long while, he sighed silently, "I used to be so arrogant. Why did Xiao Chen like me?"

……

the other side.

While holding four standard units of spiritual spring water, the documentary suddenly remembered something.

How could I have forgotten to ask why they sealed off this part of Mangshan?!

He tried to enter again, only to find that he was being blocked!

This left Ji Shi with a look of utter helplessness. In the end, he could only sigh silently and take the spiritual spring to find Si Bao.

"This is the sacred spring that our ancestors bestowed upon you, and this is what I collected before."

The documentary placed four soul stones and six fist-sized transparent crystals in front of Si Bao.

These six transparent crystals were naturally collected by Ji using witchcraft.

This transparent crystal cannot be stored for long; it will turn back into a spiritual spring in about two weeks.

Of course, if the documentary voluntarily releases the witchcraft, it will immediately transform into a spiritual spring.

"I don't need that many," Si Bao said with a hint of helplessness.

She knew herself well. In her opinion, her talent was not that great, and being able to advance to the fourth rank was already quite good.

It can absorb at most three standard units of spiritual spring water.

"Just in case, and this could affect your future potential. You don't plan to stop advancing after reaching the fourth tier, do you?"

The documentary began with a smile.

In the end, Si Bao accepted all of these items and promised, "When I'm promoted, I will absolutely not try to save these resources by not absorbing more than I could."

Only after hearing this answer did the documentary crew leave satisfied.

Meanwhile, Si Bao went into seclusion to prepare for her breakthrough to the fourth rank!

As soon as Ji Shi returned to the ancestral temple, he heard Shui He come to report.

"Mr. Shoutiao, Shan Shuo and the others are back."

Ji Shi paused for a moment, then immediately said, "Take me to see it."

Based on his previous assessment, the team should have returned long ago.

His return now clearly indicates that he has suffered an accident.

He soon noticed that although the team was not short of people, everyone looked somewhat disheveled.

This team has Shi Xiaoyong in charge, how could they still face something like this?

The documentary almost subconsciously furrowed its brow.

"What exactly happened?"

Shan Shuo's face was full of bitterness, but he finally spoke.

"We...we almost got caught by Shui Nanbu. If it weren't for Xiao Yong...we might not be back!"
