"Should I do it?" Meng Jie hesitated and stepped forward, but this time Fairy Su Mu stopped her.

"I'll do it."

Meng Jie wasn't disappointed, because judging from the first room, even if there were any treasures inside, they wouldn't belong to her.

But to everyone's surprise, the door that Meng Jie had pushed open so easily before, Su Muxianzi couldn't push open. Her face immediately darkened, but when she turned around to face the disciples, she regained her usual noble and indifferent expression.

"This door is protected by a restriction."

Just when Meng Jie thought she was going to go up again, one of the Nascent Soul elders stepped forward. This Nascent Soul elder had dual spiritual roots of water and wood. Although he had dual spiritual roots, his cultivation speed was no worse than that of a single spiritual root because the two spiritual roots complemented each other. Otherwise, he would not have a seat as an elder in the Divine Origin Sect.

With water elemental energy attached to his hand, sure enough, he pushed open the door this time, and the elders all breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that it wasn't necessary to have only a water elemental root.

Meng Jie, on the other hand, felt somewhat disheartened. Was it true that ordinary disciples like her, no matter how hard they tried, were destined to only sacrifice themselves and never enjoy any special treatment? She was clearly asked to take risks in the first place! Shouldn't she have even the slightest bit of privilege?

The second room opened, and as usual, the elders and Fairy Su Mu went in first. This room contained various aquatic spiritual plants, but unfortunately, like the first room, due to the lack of spiritual energy, most of the spiritual plants had lost their spirituality, and even those that still had some were not very medicinal.

At this moment, Meng Jie even had the thought that they deserved it. Since she couldn't get it anyway, they hadn't gotten it either.

The three elders and Fairy Su Mu were indeed disappointed. They had entered the cave in high spirits, only to find that there was nothing of value there, causing them to be disappointed.

"I refuse to believe that there isn't a usable inheritance in this third room!"

The elder with dual water and wood spiritual roots went to open the third room, and this time everyone felt his breathing become heavier.

"What's inside?" Shi Tiankui asked hurriedly, then followed Fairy Su Mu inside.

"You all stay outside and keep watch," Elder Yuan instructed. This order only made the ordinary disciples more anxious. Could it be that they had finally discovered a beneficial inheritance? But they were also outstanding disciples of the sect, so why couldn't they see it?

It wasn't that Elder Yuan wouldn't let them see, but rather that the room was filled with bamboo slips, which must contain ancient cultivation techniques. If too many people came in and damaged or mixed up these bamboo slips, wouldn't that be troublesome?

"These bamboo slips alone make our trip worthwhile."

"Unfortunately, I don't recognize any of the characters on this."

"It's alright. Go back and have the people in the sect study it. Empty a few storage bags and take them away in batches. Just make sure they don't get mixed up."

The people outside were getting increasingly anxious, but the few of them were calmly tidying up inside, making the disciples outside lose their patience.

One disciple muttered under his breath, "I thought I was going out to broaden my horizons with Junior Brother Tianning and Junior Sister Tiankui, but not only have I gained nothing so far, we're always the ones who go first in any dangerous situation."

The disciples fell silent upon hearing this: "Junior Brother Xu, are you out of your mind? What if the elders hear this?"

"Hmph!" The disciple stopped talking, but this one sentence successfully stirred up everyone's dissatisfaction.

"I regret coming along." After a long while, another female disciple said timidly, "Senior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Li, and Junior Brother Zhao have all passed away one after another. The crisis on Qianli Island has not yet been resolved, and the things in this ancient cave have nothing to do with us. We don't even know if we can save our lives."

"Me too, those monsters seem even more ferocious than when we first arrived."

In this situation, who wouldn't be afraid? Compared to ordinary cultivators, they are all the chosen ones, yet here they can only sacrifice themselves to protect Junior Brother Tianning and Junior Sister Tiankui.

“Aren’t Junior Brother Tianning and Junior Sister Tiankui saviors? Why don’t the elders just let them take action? If they were willing to take action, they would have solved the problem long ago. I’ve read the history of the cultivation world. The more dangerous the great beings are, the more they unleash their potential and seize opportunities.”

"Junior brother, stop talking! Who would dare to actually let them go!"

"Are we just going to be protected forever? How long will that protection last? What if my cultivation level becomes the highest in the entire cultivation world? Will it be too late by then?"

"Keep your voices down!" an older senior brother whispered. "If you have nothing to do, go cut some bamboo. These bamboos have some kind of spirit. The elders are coming out soon."

Hearing this, everyone stopped complaining, but deep down they felt even more resentful and resentful.

When the bamboo was cut into small pieces, Fairy Su Mu and the others came out and praised everyone for their actions. The disciples responded humbly on the surface, but only they knew what they were thinking inside.

The disciples had no intention of participating in the rooms behind. However, of the five rooms in total, two remained. One was a place for the ancient cultivators to rest and meditate, and the other was actually a washroom. In other words, the remaining two rooms had nothing of any use.

If it weren't for the bamboo slips in the middle room, Su Mu and the others would have turned pale by now. How could the cave of an ancient powerful being have so little inheritance?

"Shouldn't there be some kind of cultivation method or natal magic weapon to directly select the successor?" Shi Tiankui frowned and looked around, only to find that apart from bamboo, there was only a nearly dried-up pond and nothing else.

Just when everyone was about to give up, a drop of strange water slid down from the bamboo leaf and landed directly between Meng Jie's eyebrows.

"What was that just now?" Fairy Su Mu grabbed Meng Jie, and the three elders surrounded her as quickly as possible.

Seeing this, Meng Jie became extremely nervous: "I don't know either, it just went straight into my body."

"Didn't you sense anything was wrong?"

"No," Meng Jie shook her head honestly.

However, these people did not believe her. The elder with dual water and wood spiritual roots said, "I will probe your spiritual veins to take a look. Do not resist."

Meng Jie bit her lip. She had learned the first lesson of cultivation: never let outsiders probe into the spiritual veins, otherwise they might kill you at any time. But seeing the elders' eyes, she knew she had no chance to refuse, so she could only smile bitterly and close her eyes.

Seeing how she was treated, the other disciples were also apprehensive. At this moment, they suddenly no longer envied the strange thing that had happened to Meng Jie.

"How is it?" After the elder finished his examination, Fairy Su Mu hurriedly asked.

However, the elder simply shook his head, while Meng Jie collapsed to the ground, her face pale and covered in cold sweat.

Upon seeing the suspicious look in Su Muxian's eyes, she knew that her danger was not yet over.
