Gu Changqing quickly understood what was going on. It turned out that these people had discovered a mysterious treasure land, which was a secret cave below a cliff. To put it bluntly, it was a secret realm, unknown to others and extremely mysterious. It emitted billowing black smoke, just like the habitat of a demon, but it gave them endless longing.
They believed there must be treasures inside, or at the very least, some powerful predecessors slumbering there. Therefore, they decided to explore. Regardless of the chances of finding treasures, just obtaining a wisp of benefit from the slumbering predecessor would excite them greatly. The reason was that their cultivation levels were very low; each of them was only at the Dharma Aspect level. To be honest, in Gu Changqing's current eyes, such levels were utterly trash and not worth considering. But they still thought they were incredibly powerful.
Especially the man in black from earlier, who was at the peak of the Dharma Aspect realm, five levels higher than everyone else, was invited by this group to act as their protector and escort them into the cave. In case they encountered any danger inside, he would act as their protector to ensure their safety.
However, the man in black was extremely arrogant, thinking that he was the most powerful person in the world and that everyone else was trash. He was just arrogant and thought he was very strong, but little did he know that he was just a fool. However, Gu Changqing was too lazy to argue with such a fool. He had seen many fools and didn't need another one. Besides, even if he was a fool, could he be the same as him?
It's like if a dog bites you, you can't bite it back, can you? Otherwise, what's the difference between you and the dog?
Therefore, Gu Changqing did not intend to take it seriously and said indifferently, "Alright, since everyone agrees, then I will respectfully comply."
“Young master, you don’t need to be so polite. But I must make one thing clear first: if you encounter any danger inside and can’t escape, then you can’t blame us. But please rest assured, I will do my best to protect your safety. Of course, if I myself am also caught in the crossfire, then…” The woman in white said with a hint of helplessness.
She really wanted the man in black to protect the new young man in white, but when she glanced at him, he was standing arrogantly to the side, seemingly ignoring them. She felt humiliated, but there was nothing she could say. After all, this was someone the elder had hired at great expense, not someone she had hired herself. Moreover, she had no say in the family, so she could only accept her fate.
Forget it... that's what she thought.
Gu Changqing smiled faintly and said, "Don't worry, no matter what's inside, I'll survive in the end. As for you, if you're really in danger, I might choose to save your life."
The woman in white gave a wry smile and said nothing, taking it as him boasting. She couldn't sense any aura from Gu Changqing, and assumed his cultivation was indeed low, just as the man in black had said.
However, she was wrong. Gu Changqing's cultivation level was many times higher than everyone else present; he could crush them with a single finger.
In fact, Gu Changqing did have a reason to enter the cave. After all, he had a lot of treasures on him, and he could draw a lottery again soon. He could easily draw something good, so why would he want to go in?
That's because he had just learned from those people that the cave was a naturally formed blessed land. If one cultivated there, one could achieve twice the results with half the effort, and the amplification effect would be enormous. For example, one year of cultivation inside would be equivalent to ten thousand years of cultivation outside, and there were other unexpected benefits as well. This made Gu Changqing extremely excited and overjoyed. He felt that this cave was definitely much better than the secret chamber in the city lord's mansion. The amplification effect was simply invincible. If he were to absorb the cultivation he gained from this transfer of power inside, wouldn't he be able to take off on the spot?
Moreover, just now, through some subtle probing, he obtained some information: the synthesized treasures and the lottery treasures there also have an amplification effect. He didn't know how much the amplification was, as it was completely random, but having it at all was already quite good. You see, Gu Changqing had never heard of such a strange cave before, where even lottery or synthesized treasures could have an amplification effect. Although he didn't know just how terrifying this amplification effect was, Gu Changqing was already eager to go and see it.
