"Let's go down and take a look!"

Lin Xue didn't care about any of that and led the way inside.

The passage was vertically downwards, and Lin Xue dared to jump down because of the radar system's guidance.

However, her foot soon touched solid ground, and she immediately raised the lantern and moved aside.

Yu Feifei jumped down right after Lin Xue, and was stunned when she saw the situation in the passage.

The walls of this passage are all made of stone.

However, the colors of these stones are rather strange, a mix of all sorts of colors, and many of them look somewhat familiar.

Yu Feifei reached out and touched one of the stones, finding it to be icy cold.

"ore?"

Yu Feifei was surprised and told Lin Xue about her discovery.

"It really is true!"

Lin Xue touched them, and sure enough, each stone felt different.

Some are icy cold, some are warm, and some give you a penetrating, bone-chilling feeling.

"Sister Lin Xue, is there something wrong with this passage? I feel a little uneasy walking on this kind of road."

Yu Feifei had mixed feelings. Compared to the flatness of the passage in the stone chamber above, the strangeness of this passage made her uneasy.

"Feifei, is your sect very wealthy?"

Lin Xue suddenly gave Yu Feifei a strange look.

Yu Feifei was taken aback by Lin Xue's expression.

"How could that be? My dad worries every day about not having enough spirit stones to buy resources!"

Yu Feifei quickly shook her head, indicating that her sect was not actually very wealthy.

"Then why did you feel fear instead of surprise when you saw so many rare mineral materials?"

Lin Xue couldn't quite understand Yu Feifei's thought process.

Collecting so many materials, whether to sell them or contribute them to the sect, would be a great thing, wouldn't it?

Why is this girl scared?

Does immense wealth not only bring joy but also fear?

"ah?"

Yu Feifei was clearly taken aback by Lin Xue's words.

"I hadn't thought of that!"

Yu Feifei subconsciously put her thumb in her mouth; she would do this whenever she was nervous.

It wasn't until her fingertips hurt from being bitten that I realized what was happening.

"Ah! Sister Lin Xue, we've struck it rich! There are so many rare materials here!"

Once Feifei had figured it out, she hugged Lin Xue tightly and jumped up and down, as if she had just realized how much wealth this strange passage in front of her was.

"Don't get agitated. Let's figure out a way to put the stone slab back on!"

Lin Xue wasn't as optimistic as Yu Feifei. What if the group above realized they'd fallen into a trap and rushed back? They might also discover the passage they'd opened at the entrance.

So, she discussed it with Yu Feifei, and the two of them decided to put the stone slab back on.

This way, at least the time it takes for those above to discover the real entrance can be delayed.

The oppression on cultivators inside this cave is even more severe than outside.

At this moment, Lin Xue could not even fly on her sword, let alone have a normal jumping ability that was much lower than usual.

In the end, Lin Xue had no choice but to step on Yu Feifei's shoulders and stick her hand out of the hole.

After putting the stone slab back on, the two began to collect the special ores and metal ores and other refining materials in the passage into their storage bags.

Of course, these ores were fixed to the walls of the passageway, and it would take some effort for the two of them to remove them.

Fortunately, Lin Xue always carried various tools with her. After handing a set of chisels to Yu Feifei, she began to diligently pry at the ore on the cave wall.

"Feifei, we've got a deal, right? Whoever digs up the materials in this passage keeps them, and we won't split them after we get out!"

As Lin Xue spoke, she also discussed things with Yu Feifei.

"Sure, whoever finds it keeps it, that's fair!"

Yu Feifei didn't have any objections, after all, both of them were already inside, and it would be unfair to divide it equally!

Both of them were very fast, but Lin Xue was used to doing this kind of thing, so she was slightly faster.

However, the two of them agreed to only deduct about half of the ore, and they got along very harmoniously.

As the amount of ore seized increased, the two men's movements became faster and faster.

They say practice makes perfect, and before long, they had pried all the ore in half the passage into their storage bags.

Behind them was a bumpy, potholed path.

The two occasionally looked up and saw the colorful passage in front of them and the pitted stone wall behind them.

Suddenly, I realized that the invisible pressure on the passageway, now devoid of ore decorations, gradually disappeared.

Moreover, the light from the passage behind seemed to be more noticeable, and the view was more expansive.

It's likely that these ores have a light-absorbing effect, which is why they absorbed most of the light from the lanterns they were holding.

Just as Lin Xue and her companion were about to reach the end of the passage, the group of people above had already returned to the main hall.

The boys had lost their initial high spirits, and many of them had sustained injuries of varying degrees.

Some people had black blood flowing from the wounds on their arms, and they were taking detoxification pills while undergoing bone removal treatment.

"Damn it, there's no sign of anyone walking through that passage. Did those two girls trick us again?"

A hot-tempered, tall young cultivator was currently slamming his fist into the ground, his face contorted with rage.

"It's really pathetic that so many of us were tricked by two little girls!"

Compared to the former's rudeness, the latter person, though equally indignant, had a much better attitude.

"Among the two female cultivators you mentioned, one was wearing a red dress, and the other was wearing a cyan robe?"

Suddenly, a thought flashed through the mind of the female cultivator surnamed Liu, and she quickly asked what she had thought of.

"Yes, weren't you here later? How do you know so much? Are you in cahoots with them?"

The hot-tempered young cultivator who was previously in the lower realm immediately turned his anger towards the group after hearing the question from the female cultivator surnamed Liu.

"No, no, no, we have nothing to do with them, in fact, we have a bit of a grudge against them!"

When the female cultivator surnamed Liu said this, her eyes were full of malice.

Seeing that she didn't seem to be lying, the crowd stopped targeting them.

"You mean the female cultivator in the blue robe, isn't she quite young, maybe in her early teens?"

As Ye Linglong spoke, she gestured with her hand to indicate a height.

"Yeah, do you know that bitch?"

The female cultivator surnamed Liu looked at Yue Linglong with a somewhat unpleasant gaze, as if something unpleasant had happened between them before.

"Of course I know her. That female cultivator is called Lin Jiuyue. We've suffered at her hands before!"
