"Sister Lin Xue, why are we collecting these things?"

Yu Feifei kept moving her hands, but that couldn't stop the doubts in her heart.

"Anything that appears in a place like this can't be ordinary. Even if it's just a regular lamp, we can just throw it at the flea market later!"

Lin Xue quickly took down the candlesticks and lamps hanging on the wall and stuffed them into her storage bag.

She also took down the paintings hanging on the wall and threw them directly into her spatial storage.

She collects things according to her own preferences; she puts the things she likes into her spatial storage and stuffs the things she's not interested in into her storage bag.

After all, storage bags are things that are placed outside, and who can guarantee that they will always be on their person?

"You two female cultivators, if you take away the lamps, how are we supposed to see anything?"

Just after Lin Xue and the others put the last lantern into their storage bags, the young cultivators waiting in the main hall finally couldn't hold back any longer.

"These two young women must be desperate for money, they won't even spare a broken lamp!"

"They're probably from a small town, and their family probably lacks these things."

"Fellow Daoists, you'd better hurry up and bring out a few lamps! If you two are really too poor at home, I can give you a few spirit stones so you can exchange them for gold and silver, enough to buy a lot of lamps!"

Inside the main hall, laughter, curses, complaints, and all sorts of sounds mingled together.

Yu Feifei stood beside Lin Xue, her face so red she could hardly bear to be seen.

Fortunately, it was dark enough that no one could see her predicament.

"Sister Lin Xue, what do you think, should we...?"

Yu Feifei felt a little embarrassed, after all, she had taken away everyone's lighting tools.

"Ignore them!"

It's good that she's been blacklisted; if she's blacklisted, these people won't see what she did.

Lin Xue pulled Yu Feifei and walked towards the corner of the wall on the left.

There was a mural here just now. When Lin Xue put away the lamps, she touched it and found that the wall with the mural was not connected to the original wall.

It looks like it was added later.

She reached out and felt along the wall, quickly finding the edge of the mural.

Lin Xue used all her strength to move the mural away.

As expected, this thing was just a decoration pasted on the wall; in fact, the wall was decorated with other wood panels or the like.

Lin Xue put the mural into her storage bag, then pulled Yu Feifei along and ducked into the exposed doorway.

The people in the main hall were still discussing...

It took Lin Xue and the others quite a while to go inside the small door before someone brought out torches to illuminate the area.

When the main hall lit up again, everyone found that the two female cultivators were nowhere to be seen.

Just then, another group of people ran in from the direction of the main gate.

If Lin Xue were here, she would recognize that this group was Yue Linglong's gang.

Chen Zhiyuan and Wu Dalang were no longer in sight. The others were also somewhat disheveled, clearly having fought their way here.

However, they were clearly too late; the main hall had already been ransacked.

This interruption gave Lin Xue and the others a few more minutes.

Only after everyone had shifted their attention away from the group did they resume exploring the main hall.

That little door was quickly discovered.

When they rushed into the small door, they discovered that there was actually a stone chamber behind it.

However, this stone chamber is much smaller than the main hall in front.

The room was now completely bare, but the dust marks on the ground suggested that there used to be tables, chairs, and other furniture inside.

Moreover, it seems that there used to be something hanging on the wall, but now it has become an empty and bare stone chamber.

"Damn it, no wonder those two young women took away all the lamps, so that's what they were planning!"

"We've been tricked by those two female cultivators. Let's not waste any more time here, let's hurry up and chase after them!"

"Quick, the entrance is this way. They must have run this way. If we hurry, we might be able to catch up!"

The crowd rushed in like a swarm of bees, and then they all ran away in a swarm of bees.

No one noticed that two inconspicuous men suddenly appeared at the corner of the wall.

"Have they all left?"

One of the taller men spoke up, and if anyone were there, they would have noticed that the voice sounded like a girl's.

"Let's go, let's get back to the lobby!"

Lin Xue pulled Yu Feifei directly back into the hall.

"Sister Lin Xue, why don't we go into that passage? Why do we have to come back to this main hall?"

Yu Feifei was puzzled. They had clearly found the right route, so why didn't they continue forward?

Even a small stone chamber can contain so many good things; there might be even more in the passageway!

"If I'm not mistaken, there's definitely a trap inside!"

Lin Xue didn't explain much to Yu Feifei. At this moment, the radar system clearly showed that the real passage was not here.

The route of that passage was faintly tinged with blackish-red, suggesting it wasn't a pleasant place.

"Sister Lin Xue, I believe in you. Since you were able to discover the existence of the stone chamber right under everyone's noses, you must be able to find the real entrance!"

Although Lin Xue's explanation was perfunctory, Yu Feifei did not delve any further into it.

As a cultivator, who doesn't have their own secrets?

Since her younger sister Lin Xue didn't want to talk about it, why should she make things difficult for her?

Guided by the radar system, Lin Xue quickly found the real entrance.

The direction this entrance led was exactly where the other stone tablet she had seen earlier was located.

Lin Xue had a vague guess that the real treasure should be located between the two stone tablets.

The path the radar system was pointing to was the main entrance they had come in through, and the other path, located beneath the main entrance, was likely a secret passage.

Lin Xue asked Yu Feifei to help her pry open the stone slab at the entrance, and then a dark entrance appeared in front of the two of them.

"Sister Lin Xue, isn't this too dark?"

Yu Feifei peeked inside, but couldn't see anything.

Even though this place is located at the entrance, you can see the light coming in from outside, but you can't see what's going on inside the passage.

“Take out one of the lamps we just put away. I suspect this passage has some special restrictions and can only be illuminated by the lamps in the main hall!”

Lin Xue shared her guess and casually picked up a lantern, holding it in her hand.

When Lin Xue was collecting the treasures earlier, she noticed that the lamps on the innermost wall were indeed a bit strange.

There were ordinary kerosene lanterns, hand-held lanterns, and some candles that were half-burned; she put them all away.

Sure enough, once the lantern was taken out, the situation inside the hole was illuminated a little.

"Sister Lin Xue, the lighting area is too small!"

Yu Feifei looked at the passageway, feeling somewhat uneasy.
