What it looked like just now?
The old man thought for a moment, then, imitating Dongfang Mian, threw in some materials and then lit a fire. Unsurprisingly, the materials were reduced to a pile of ashes.
Faced with the angry old man questioning her, Dongfang Mian calmly said, "It is passed down to daughters, not sons."
The extremely depressed old man took out three books and handed them to Dongfang Mian, saying, "These are the experiences I've accumulated throughout my life, and now they belong to you."
Dongfang Mian happily accepted it; this was a Saint-level insight, a considerable gain indeed.
As Dongfang Mian casually opened the book, the words in front of her seemed to sway like tadpoles. Then, the small bead representing the fire attribute god-level skill in her body seemed to have been replenished with some energy and sprouted like a seed.
At the same time, Dongfang Mian also sensed that the fire-attribute divine skill had evolved to the intermediate level.
Overjoyed, she flipped through the remaining two books, and sure enough, just like before, the divine skills of the metal and earth attributes had also sprouted and advanced to the intermediate level.
Seeing Dongfang Mian holding his book as if it were a treasure, the old man was puzzled. Soon, Dongfang Mian returned the book to him.
"You don't want it?"
"I've already learned it," Dongfang Mian said happily.
The old man was momentarily stunned. What kind of talk was this? He had poured his entire life's work into it, and you think you could learn it from just a few glances?
Looking at Yan Lin and A Ju beside him, who seemed to take it all for granted, the old man felt that he had never been so depressed when he was alive.
Having no desire to continue communicating with Dongfang Mian, the old man waved his hand, preparing to see them off.
"Senior, I have another question for you," Dongfang Mian asked the old man after Yan Lin gave a rough description of the artifact fragments.
The old man was even more displeased. "I am just a wisp of inherited divine soul. Do you even know what a divine soul is? Do you think I can just wander around the entire secret realm aimlessly?"
Yan Lin's face darkened upon hearing this, but Dongfang Mian quickly stopped him, saying, "Excuse me, senior, then we won't bother you any longer."
The old man was pleased with Dongfang Mian's humility and said, "If you go north for about an hour, there is a lake. An old fellow lives in the lake. If there is anything in this secret realm, nothing can escape his eyes."
"Thank you very much, senior," Dongfang Mian said quickly.
After leaving the inheritance, I did not see anyone else. According to the old man, his inheritance was not given to just one person. Anyone with good character and talent could receive his professional inheritance.
Dongfang Mian and Yan Lin headed north, and an hour later they indeed came across a bottomless lake.
"Uh... what do we do now? I forgot to ask the senior earlier," Dongfang Mian said with difficulty.
I'm completely clueless right now. I don't know who lives in the lake, nor do I know their temperament.
Just then, Aju walked over with cat-like steps, saying, "I know what to do."
You know?
"Uh-huh"
After finishing her sentence, Aju walked to the lakeside, first dipping her feet in the water, and then simply plunged in headfirst, swimming around in the lake.
"So cats can swim too," Yan Lin thought, finding it quite amusing.
"Lord Rin, I need to emphasize again, I am the divine beast Crimson-Striped Divine Tiger, not a cat," Aju said solemnly.
"Come on, you're just a big idiot," Yan Lin said dismissively.
This isn't my Rin-sama. Rin-sama's memories are incomplete. I won't stoop to his level. Aju silently repeated this several times in her mind before calming down.
"Ah Ju, is it useful for you to swim around like this?" Dongfang Mian asked curiously.
"Of course! Didn't that old man just say he lives in the lake? He must really value this lake. If I swim in it, I'll definitely piss him off," Aju said, looking like she knew everything.
