at the same time.

Having already regained consciousness, the cultivators who had navigated numerous traps to reach the depths of the cave screamed upon seeing the completely looted cave.

"No, no, no, no!!! How could there be nothing here? Impossible!!!"

"Could it be that the information is wrong, and this is a fake mansion? The real Nascent Soul Cave isn't here at all?"

"Impossible! If that were true, how would we explain the traps that were used to get in? Besides, we lost so many disciples! The only explanation is that someone beat us to it!"

"Yes! Someone must have gotten there first! Damn it! You beast! You didn't even leave anything behind!"

The cave was filled with angry and resentful roars, but everyone could only guess. Because of the restoration of Heaven's memories, no one knew who had taken all the treasures first.

Only one person was truly rational, and that was Xia Wanqing, the female lead.

"Don't panic, everyone! If someone got there first, they must have left traces. My senior brother will investigate and find out who did it!"

“Alright! Then let’s hear what Miss Xia has to say! Delay may lead to complications, so please check quickly!” Someone stepped forward impatiently.

Xia Wanqing immediately looked at Ye Qingyu beside her: "I would like to ask Senior Brother to lend Wanqing a hand."

"I would have done it even if my junior sister hadn't told me."

After delivering her sycophantic speech, and then receiving a sweet "thank you, senior brother" from Xia Wanqing, Ye Qingyu unleashed all her spiritual power as if she had been injected with adrenaline.

The inspection has begun.

Unfortunately, he was merely a Golden Core cultivator, so how could he know that Lou Xuanzhi had already erased everything before leaving? This time, he was destined to have his efforts come to nothing.

After the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

Ye Qingyu, exhausted from overdrawing her spiritual power, shook her head weakly. Xia Wanqing's pupils dilated in shock. She couldn't accept this outcome. She had a premonition that there was a treasure in this cave, and she even felt the pull of the treasure when she was at the entrance of the cave.

How could there be nothing at all?

Someone must have gotten there first, and that person's magical power is above all of theirs.

The others clearly did not believe this result either, and they all sent messages to the elders of the sect who had come to wait on the outskirts.

"Junior sister...you..." Seeing Xia Wanqing's stunned and distraught appearance, Ye Qingyu felt as if her heart was being torn apart.

Xia Wanqing gave a bitter smile: "Alright, let's go back to the sect first. It's hard on you, senior brother, to expend so much spiritual energy. After we return to the sect, I will definitely tell Father to make it up to you."

As she spoke, Xia Wanqing gently raised her hand, and her handkerchief appeared in her hand. She then gently wiped away the beads of sweat on Ye Qingyu's forehead caused by the depletion of her spiritual energy.

Feeling the delicate fragrance on her nose, Ye Qingyu's ears turned red.

"Don't worry, junior sister, your senior brother will definitely find someone better for you."

"Thank you, Senior Brother. However, I appreciate your kindness, but how can one rely entirely on others on the path of cultivation? Don't worry, Senior Brother, from now on I will not compromise so easily. I will become stronger and stronger."

She didn't say anything more, but Ye Qingyu understood that Xia Wanqing had always been a proud person and would never let anyone down.

Tianxianglou.

Qiyue felt a sense of satisfaction whenever she thought about Xia Wanqing's great disappointment after failing to make the trip.

My cultivation has become much smoother.

It's unclear whether it was because this body's previous cultivation level was already quite high, but Qiyue broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage in just one night.

Stretching, Qiyue quietly slipped out the door; she was going to find that future top alchemist.

Su Ji.

Oh, right, to hide his identity, he's not called Su Ji anymore, but Ji Su.

Behind Qiyue, Le Luoxi quietly followed her.

She wanted to see what her junior sister was up to.

Even though the sun was about to set, the streets were still very lively, and there were many more cultivators setting up stalls, though they were all independent cultivators.

He simply wanted to sell what he had acquired, what he knew, and what he didn't know for a good price in order to obtain cultivation resources.

July's goal was an ordinary little stall.

She stood there pretending to choose a hairpin, but in reality, she was paying attention to everything around her.

The stall owner looked at Qiyue, who was holding the hairpin and examining it, and said after looking at Qiyue's attire, "You look like a young lady from a wealthy family. You can see for yourself, this hairpin of mine is..."

"You little brat, run! Keep running! How dare a mere mortal steal my elixir! You're asking for trouble! I'll give you two choices! Either hand over the elixir, or—die!"

A violent voice rang out, and a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy wearing a coarse linen shirt was grabbed by the neck, clutching something tightly to his chest.

The boy's eyes instantly turned bloodshot with pain, and tears streamed down his face uncontrollably. But he still clutched the thing in his arms tightly, stubbornly saying, "You're lying... This is the medicine I bought with great effort... It's not... yours..."

Qi Yue smiled and said, "Here I am."

Then she put down the hairpin, turned into a blur, and landed in front of the man who was choking the boy.

The seemingly weak and powerless palm strike, imbued with profound spiritual energy, struck the man's chest like a boulder, instantly sending him flying to the ground.

Then, with lightning speed, she appeared in front of the man, quickly drew her sword and held it to the man's neck, stepping on the man's hand that had killed Ji Su.

"Putting aside the fact that we cultivators follow the righteous path of the world and cannot slaughter mortals innocently, I personally saw this child buy pills. You tried to take them but failed and then relentlessly pressured him. What kind of logic is that?"

"She's actually a Foundation Establishment cultivator!" The man looked at Qiyue, his eyes filled with fear and apprehension.

He was merely a rogue cultivator at the sixth level of Qi Refining; to go toe-to-toe with a Foundation Establishment cultivator would be tantamount to suicide! Not to mention that this woman possessed extraordinary qualities; he certainly didn't want to die!
