The stone door opened, and a mysterious substance drifted out. Wang Li and Wang Xuan exchanged a glance; this was no ordinary matter.

Ahead, there was a golden bamboo with a diameter of one meter, which had been split open and made into a small boat. Inside, there lay a lifelike woman, very young, who seemed to have just fallen asleep.

Wang Li looked at the woman on the boat, Fang Yuzhu, one of the strongest people in the Immortal Realm. Although she still kept her eyes closed and remained motionless, the aura emanating from her made people feel uneasy and apprehensive.

"Is she still alive?" Aoki asked immediately, his expression grave.

Wang Li stared at the woman in the bamboo boat, not daring to show the slightest disrespect, after all, the person in front of him might be observing them.

"That's right, her physical body is still alive!" The female researcher from the new star solemnly declared.

"We tested her with the most sophisticated instruments, and her brain showed no signs of activity typical of a living organism; it was in a deep slumber. However, a strange force within her body was constantly maintaining her vitality," the female researcher explained.

"We extracted her blood and found that it contained a mysterious substance that could improve the physical condition of ordinary people and extend their lifespan to a certain extent," the female researcher said.

The female researcher's name is Zhou Yu.

"We have an experiment where we plan to transfer the consciousness of one of the volunteers from Nova Star into the brain of the female sorcerer, to see if we can give another person a new life," Zhou Yu said calmly.

Wang Li stood to the side, looking at them with admiration, knowing the inside story. He became even more wary, knowing that their ability to enter the inner realm must never be known to anyone.

Wang Li listened quietly as they continued.

"Actually, we have another plan. We'll name it the Immortal Species!"

Although the female Taoist priest's mental consciousness had dissipated, her physical activity was very strong, her physiological age was very young, and she was of marriageable age.

Wang Xuan was stunned and felt a chill run down his spine. The female sorcerer had been dead for three thousand years, yet she could still be dragged out and married off.

He made up his mind that if he did not remain in the human world, when his time came, he would burn himself to ashes.

Listening to this, Wang Li also felt that some biological researchers these days were really too crazy.

Qian Lei's expression was solemn and serious: "These experiments cannot be conducted at this stage."

Zhou Yu nodded: "At this stage, no suitable person has come up, so this project is temporarily put on hold."

The female Taoist priest ultimately escaped this calamity.

Qian Lei talked with the person in charge here for a long time, and before leaving, he took a piece of "Ascension Bamboo" with him, saying that he would take it back to study.

Zhou Yu and the others probably expected this, as they gave them a section of bamboo strip.

Aoki became agitated and wanted a section of bamboo strip, but his mouth was blocked.

At this moment, Wang Xuan spoke up: "Excuse me, may I dig out a few stones from this cave as souvenirs?"

Wang Li immediately echoed and explained, "We are practitioners of ancient arts, and we admire the sages of the past. Ascension to immortality is something that is far beyond our reach. We are already very satisfied to witness this today, and we would like to take a few pieces of stone as a souvenir."

This serves as a reminder to myself to diligently practice my old skills and reach the realm of ascension as soon as possible.

Aoki was surprised. He knew these two brothers well; they didn't have much reverence for the immortals. Why had they changed their ways today, bringing several stones with them, claiming they were for collection?

A military man smiled and said, "Not bad, young man. Like me when I was young, we can keep in touch more often. If you encounter any problems with the old techniques, you can talk to me. Although I have already transitioned to the new techniques."

Wang Li and Wang Xuan smiled sincerely and expressed their gratitude for exchanging contact information. Of course, they left the contact information of the expedition organization.

The new star and the relevant department heads said it was okay. Everything here was searched over and over again, and apart from the female sorcerer and the divine bamboo, there was nothing of value.

Wang Xuan and Wang Li casually headed towards the rock walls in different directions, breaking off several pieces of rock from the crevices of the cave with their bare hands.

Wang Li remained calm. He took the seven rocks and silently stepped back, as if nothing had happened, but he was very excited inside.

The others followed suit and took several stones from the cave.

The group returned to the spaceship.

"Young men, I suddenly realized I don't have enough stones to share. Could you give me another one? I'll share it with my comrades when I get back," the man in military uniform said earnestly.

The others followed suit, taking several stones from their hands. Wang Li was speechless; these guys were all such drama queens.

In the end, Wang Li only had one piece left in his hand.

Wang Li looked indifferent; the useful stones had already been put into the panel space.

Wang Li looked at the group of middle-aged men and said, "Aren't you overthinking this? We brought these stones just as a memento, to constantly remind ourselves that traditional techniques have an infinite future."

"Haha, experience tells me!" The military men weren't trying to add any drama.

They returned safely shortly afterward. Although the mission had some twists and turns, it ended without any major incidents.

Compared to Wang Xuan's current excitement, his mood was very heavy. Had his arrival interfered with the story? Logically speaking, a second spaceship shouldn't have appeared in the Greater Khingan Mountains, and we shouldn't have been discovered at all.

And shouldn't there be two stones in the cave? Why are there two extra stones?

After dinner, Wang Xuan learned that the Gray Blood Organization's strongholds in Old Land had been wiped out, and that the relevant departments would issue a warning the next day, requiring all organizations coming to Old Land to abide by the rules of Old Land.

In the living room, Wang Li and Wang Xuan took out four stones containing mysterious substances from the mine and placed them on the table.

The four pieces were roughly the same size, charred black, and showed signs of melting and crystallization on their surfaces.

"Such a strong mysterious factor... their instruments can't even detect it!" Wang Xuan said.

Wang Li chimed in, "This is probably related to our entry into the Inner Realm. No one has entered the Inner Realm in modern times, so they naturally wouldn't notice since they haven't been there before."

Wang Xuan nodded in agreement.

Outside the window, the wind howled, and raindrops fell, hitting the windowpane with a pattering sound as autumn rain began to fall.

Suddenly, Wang Li and Wang Xuan narrowed their eyes. This rainy night seemed anything but peaceful. They had both entered the Inner Realm, and not only had their strength increased significantly, but the improvement in their Golden Body Technique had not only strengthened their physique, but also made their spirits more vigorous and their spiritual senses extremely sharp.

Someone actually took advantage of the rainy night to climb up, and some people have already approached the balcony.

Wang Xuan flashed to the balcony and crouched down silently, while Wang Li quickly hid in a corner of the living room.

Wang Li fully activated his senses and heard faint footsteps approaching from the corridor outside the door. The footsteps were very small, and there were four people in total, pressed against the wall on both sides of the door.

Without a sound, two dark gun barrels appeared on the balcony, followed by two heads. The two men raised their guns and aimed them into the room.

Wang Xuan couldn't see the two men's faces clearly, but crouching on the balcony, he could clearly see that they were two gun barrels. If someone outside suddenly broke in, and these two were firing shots from here, they would be in great danger.

This group of people is obviously much more professional than the previous group, and their abilities are likely very strong.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, with raindrops the size of beans hitting the window with a pattering sound. The two people outside were clearly not feeling well, as they were soaked to the bone.

Finally, the two men couldn't take it anymore and climbed over the balcony. Like cats, they made no sound. They didn't notice Wang Xuan hiding in the corner. The two men pointed their guns at the inside of the house and slowly walked in.
