Immortality and cultivation: Heaven rewards diligence, and success is inevitable.

"Master Li... save me!" Lu Wenming's trembling voice rang out.

Jiang Shi smiled and looked at him, making Lu Wenming feel a chill in his heart.

"Master Li, I was out of my mind just now and shouldn't have attacked you," Lu Wenming said apologetically to Jiang Shi, but in reality he was already secretly circulating his magic power to expel the snake venom.

Half of his body is currently immobile; if it weren't for this, Lu Wenming would probably have already launched a sneak attack on Jiang Shi.

"It's alright, young friend Lu. We've known each other for a long time, how could I blame you? Besides, I can't afford to offend your Qingyun Sect." Jiang Shi put on a forgiving expression and comforted Lu Wenming.

Upon hearing this, Lu Wenming breathed a sigh of relief. Although he was a rogue cultivator, even as a master talisman maker, how could he dare to offend the Qingyun Sect?

Just as he was thinking this, a fiery blade suddenly flew over and slashed at Lu Wenming's neck.

Lu Wenming had no time to react before his head was severed from his body.

"Of course I can't afford to offend your Qingyun Sect, so I have to eliminate them completely."

Jiang Shi stared expressionlessly at Lu Wenming's corpse. Since the other party dared to attack him, he would naturally strike first.

Otherwise, should we wait until the other party recovers their magic power and then cause trouble for them?

After killing the man, Jiang Shi took Lu Wenming's storage bag without hesitation and then put the Blood Spirit Mushroom into his own storage bag.

After doing all this, Jiang Shi used the Wood-to-Fire technique, and the raging fire destroyed the body of the deceased Lu Wenming, erasing all traces.

He ignored the strange snake, which was difficult to harm with ordinary magic, and killing it would be both laborious and pointless.

Jiang Shi turned and left to continue exploring the cave.

On the way, Jiang Shi changed his appearance and transformed into Lu Wenming.

Master Li's appearance is rather eye-catching; perhaps it would be better to use Lu Wenming's identity. This incident might just be a conspiracy by the Qingyun Sect.

There were no further dangers along the way. After three hours, Jiang Shi finally found an exit ahead.

He walked over quickly and discovered that there was a hidden world inside.

A huge mansion is located here.

The mansion was built inside a cave, making it gloomy and eerie, like a ghost town.

"Senior Brother Lu!" A Qingyun Sect cultivator stood at the entrance of the mansion and called out happily when he noticed Jiang Shi approaching.

In his eyes, Jiang Shi's current appearance is just like Lu Wenming.

"Junior brother, it's great to see you! Where are the other junior brothers and sisters?" Jiang Shi asked him, pretending to be Lu Wenming.

"I don't know either. I just arrived here. They said they might have already gone in. I saw the mansion gate was open."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shi looked towards the mansion's gate, but it was completely dark inside, and he couldn't see anything clearly.

"Senior brother, let's go in! This might be the cave of a great cultivator or a true master," Lu Wenbo said happily.

This person was also a member of the Lu family, of the same generation as Lu Wenming, but his cultivation level was much lower, only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining.

I usually enjoy reading picture books and strange tales.

This made him fantasize every day about having a miraculous encounter and soaring to the sky.

This mansion sparked his imagination; in Lu Wenbo's eyes, it seemed to contain abundant resources and top-tier inheritance.

Thinking of this, Lu Wenbo rushed in.

Jiang Shi saw Lu Wenbo go inside, but he didn't follow him in.

Now he hesitated. Unlike Lu Wenbo, Jiang Shi would not believe in any cave dwellings or inheritances.

This mansion must be related to that scourge of the demonic path; it might be extremely dangerous inside.

His cultivation level is currently low and his skills are insufficient. Would it be dangerous for him to go in rashly?

As Jiang Shi hesitated, a sudden, eerie feeling washed over him.

It felt as if a monster was behind him, its gaping maw ready to swallow him whole.

Jiang Shi dared not turn back and had no choice but to step into the mansion.

If he doesn't go in, he might die.

We had no choice but to go inside and try to find a glimmer of hope.

After Jiang Shi entered the mansion gate, dozens of red lights appeared in the shadows, staring intently at the entrance.

"Senior Brother Lu, why did you take so long to come in? I've been waiting for you for ages," Lu Wenbo said anxiously.

He was eager to go in and explore. If he hadn't been worried about the danger of being alone inside, he would have left Jiang Shi behind and gone in to search for treasure himself.

Jiang Shi ignored him and instead used his spiritual sense to probe the surroundings to determine if there was any danger.

This was a corridor, and Jiang Shi walked along it.

Jiang Shi walked cautiously with each step. Seeing Jiang Shi's careful demeanor, Lu Wenbo also became cautious.

He wasn't stupid; he was initially blinded by the amazing encounter in the cave and rushed in first.

Now that I've calmed down, I realize that exploring unknown places definitely requires caution.

"Who!" Jiang Shi noticed a figure ahead and shouted loudly, secretly preparing a talisman to make a move at any time.

"Senior Brother Lu, it's me, Liang Yunlei." A Qingyun Sect disciple walked quickly toward Jiang Shi and the others.

Jiang Shi looked up and realized that this was Liang Yunlei, the man he had clashed with before at the outer gate of Qingyun Sect.

I didn't expect him to come here too.

Liang Yunlei came to the Liu family in the market town on behalf of the Liang family to recruit Master Li into their family.

"Junior Brother Liang, come from the front. Do you know what's ahead?" Jiang Shi had already added Liang Yunlei to his kill list, but he didn't reveal it at all.

"Senior Brother Lu, you'll see when we get there. All the other senior brothers and sisters are waiting up ahead."

Liang Yunlei lost his usual arrogant demeanor in front of Jiang Shi. He was only at the mid-stage of Qi Refining, far inferior to Lu Wenming.

Led by Liang Yunlei, the group quickly walked out.

We arrived at a very large courtyard.

There were already quite a few people standing inside.

There were independent cultivators and outer disciples of the Qingyun Sect.

There were also Liu family guards led by Liu Yue.

"Junior Brother Lu, have you ever met Master Li?" Liu Yue asked as soon as he saw Lu Wenming.

"No, I only met my junior brother along the way," Jiang Shi said.

Upon hearing Jiang Shi's words, Liu Yue's expression turned grim.

In such an unknown place, having the help of a master talisman maker greatly increases the chances of overcoming difficulties.

"Manager Liu, you came first. Have you found out what this place is?" Jiang Shi asked Liu Yue.

"This place must be the cave dwelling of a senior master. There are alchemy rooms, training rooms and other places here, but they are empty and there are no resources left."

Liu Yue and his group arrived first and naturally inspected every part of the place carefully.

No treasures were obtained!

They are currently in the courtyard, discussing their next steps.
