Unexpectedly, the descendants of that old toad have been hiding in this valley cultivating, waiting for this day as well. It had anticipated that the pangolin would use its own spiritual power on this day to break open the seal.

  So they took advantage of the timing to launch a surprise attack, which allowed Lin Qingyao to gain an advantage.

  Lin Qingyao sized up the stone cave, and for some reason, there was a mysterious power guiding her to move forward. As she approached, she was about to collide with the stone wall, but just as she tried to avoid it, everything went black in front of her eyes, only to brighten up again, and astonishingly, she had passed through the stone wall!

  After experiencing this series of bizarre events, Lin Qingyaos ability to accept things had strengthened a lot. Generally speaking, she hadnt suffered any losses and seemed to have gained an enormous advantage instead.

  Since its like this, then just come and go as you please, follow nature and thats all!

  The place where I am is still a stone cave, but this stone cave is much more regular than the previous one. If the previous stone cave was like a natural formation, then this stone cave has obvious signs of human workmanship.

  The ground and stone cave walls are all flat and tidy. This stone cave is not big, slightly smaller than the one just now.

  Inside was empty and desolate. In the center position, there was a meditation cushion, next to which was placed a jade tablet and an ancient, simple ring.

  Lin Qingyao looked around and saw that there was no danger, so she continued to move forward. In fact, if there really was any danger, with her current mortal body, she wouldnt be able to detect it anyway.

  She bent down and picked up the ancient ring and jade tablet.

  The pendant felt heavy in her hand. After wiping off the dust on its surface, a greenish-blue color was revealed. Lin Qingyao couldnt tell what metal it was made of.

  The ancient seal was rough and full of mysterious patterns and lines. Lin Qingyao couldnt understand what they meant, but she felt that these lines seemed to contain a hidden power.

  It was during Lin Qingyaos observation of the Jiezhu that it transformed into a ball of green light and flew towards her. Even if she wanted to dodge, it was too late. Lin Qingyao felt a sharp pain in her brow, and then the Jiezhu vanished before her eyes.

  Right after that, Lin Qingyao felt as if her body had been flattened, as if the world was upside down and twisted, waiting for her to come back to herself. When she finally did, she found that she was already in another place.

  She is already in a place with about one mu of land, the top and sides are all empty and bright, its like this, this side is also bright, not gloomy.

  Empty and hollow, there was nothing inside. If it werent for the damp soft mud on the ground, Lin Qingyao would have thought she had entered another cave.

  "Where is this?" she muttered to herself.

  "How did I suddenly change places again? How am I supposed to get back?" Lin Qingyao rubbed her temples, wondering how so many indigestible things had happened to her today.

  Who knew that Lin Qingyaos mind had just moved, and she was already standing in front of the stone cave.

  This is...

  Lin Qingyao tried several times, and finally confirmed that she had encountered a great opportunity!

  She smiled and before she could laugh for long, her body suddenly became light and she was thrown out of the stone cave, arriving at the place where Chuan Shan Jia and Chan Chu were fighting.

  Lin Qingyao looked at the stone wall, thinking of going back to take another look. Who knew that this time, when she reached out to touch it, it was an icy cold stone wall after all, and there was no way to pass through.

  Lin Qingyao furrowed her brow and muttered to herself, "Enough is enough! Heaven has already compensated me so much, how can I still be greedy?" She picked up the round bead that had rolled out from under the pangolins body, and then pulled out the broken sword that didnt seem to be made of ordinary iron. She washed off the bloodstains on it with water from the pond. As for the pangolins scales, Lin Qingyao had forgotten them in her panic. Lin Qingyao began to think about how to get out of the valley.

  "Rattling and crashing!" Several pieces of rock fell from the top of the cliff.

  Lin Qingyaos heart leapt with joy, there was someone! She hastily shouted: "Is anyone up there?"

  Just as Lin Qingyao was about to lose hope, a young mans voice came from the small hillside: "Hey! Is anyone down there?"

  "Someone! Someone!" Lin Qingyao hastily called out, looking down along the cliff wall, as if a head was poking out from above the cliff wall.

  Today was Xu Rans most unlucky day, his gambler father asked him for money again. He was just a poor student still in school, where would he have any money? Relying on scholarships and part-time jobs to finish high school was already not easy.

  In order to save tuition fees, he also studied for two more years. This year, at the age of 20, he is already an older student. After saving enough university tuition fees with great difficulty, he was successfully admitted to a normal school in Chengdu.

  But unexpectedly, his tuition fees hidden behind his mothers portrait were taken away by his own father today. And then he even asked him for money. What else did he have?

  Xu Ran lost his tuition, and with only a week left before registration, he couldnt think of any other solution. He knew that he might not be able to attend university after all. He did consider saving up for another year and retaking the exam, but at his age, this was already his last chance!

  Going to college is his only hope for changing his fate! Now this hope has been destroyed by his own father!

  He thought of his mother who had passed away early, and his father who was addicted to gambling and would beat or scold him at any moment. Looking at the bleak future ahead, Xu Yan felt a wave of despair wash over him. If he were to jump off this cliff, everything would be over, wouldnt it?

  Xu Ran put his foot on the edge of the cliff and was about to jump when he heard Lin Qingyao shouting from the bottom of the cliff.

  "What kind of person are you?" Wanting to end his life was just a momentary impulse, but now being interrupted by Lin Qingyao like this, Xu Ran knew that he no longer had the courage to make up his mind to jump again.

  "I came here to clear my mind, but accidentally got trapped at the bottom of this cliff." Lin Qingyao felt extremely happy seeing someone had rescued her.

  "Wait!" Xu Ran said, and then turned around and ran down the mountain.

  About an hour later, when Lin Qingyao thought Xu Ran wouldnt be back, a rope dropped down from the top of the cliff.

  Lin Qingyao looked at the bare, seemingly unclimbable stone wall, then raised her head to gaze up at the height of four or five stories. In the end, she gritted her teeth and tied the rope around her own waist.

  "Miss, are you ready? Im going to start pulling!" Xu Ran shouted loudly from the cliff wall. At this age of passion and energy, being able to save someone made Xu Ran feel a great sense of accomplishment, so he was even more enthusiastic.

  "Alright!" Lin Qingyao said loudly.

  Xu Ran stood at the top of the cliff, unable to see Lin Qingyaos appearance clearly. Listening to Lin Qingyaos clear and crisp voice, which seemed to come from outside the nine heavens, he couldnt help but speculate about the owner of this voice, wondering what kind of beauty she was.
