Ye Si himself couldn't even remember how long he had spent in the cave.
He cried, cursed, laughed, and made a scene, but no one else appeared in this dark cave from beginning to end except him.
At first, he looked dejected.
Gradually, in order to one day leave this hellish place, he began to cultivate again.
Evil cultivators inherently possess the ability to control ghosts, and Ye Si is an evil emperor. Even though his physical body is dead, over the years, he has managed to forge his soul into a physical form.
He thought he could escape the cave if he was strong enough, but he still couldn't get out.
Until today, someone entered the cave, which caught his attention.
He led Sheng Ning and the other to the pit he had dug himself, where he had collected all sorts of rare and precious treasures while digging around in the mountains when he had nothing else to do.
He pointed to the rare and precious treasures at the bottom of the pit, "I don't know if these things are worth anything now."
"If you want it, I can give it to you, but..."
Sheng Ning and his companion were nearly blinded by the various rare and precious treasures in the pit.
Who would complain about having too much money?
She rubbed her hands together, then looked up to meet his gaze. "But what?"
"You can have everything here. I want to expand the evil cultivators' influence again after I get out."
"I need your help."
Sheng Ning pointed to the tip of her nose. "Me?"
Ye Si nodded. "It's you."
There was a wind blowing from who-knows-where in the cave.
Even though there was a volcano right outside, the wind blowing on Sheng Ning's cheeks didn't carry any heat at all.
It was even a bit chilly.
She blinked and asked him, "Why me? I'm just a useless little Golden Core cultivator at the peak of the cultivation stage. You should look for someone else instead."
"Because you have no shame."
Ye Si's words made Sheng Ning's eye twitch violently.
However, she was indeed a bit shameless. Face is the most useless thing, and she didn't need it.
But it's really rude to call someone shameless like that!
Guan Yunchuan coldly pulled out a laser cannon and said in a deep voice, "Dare to say my junior sister is shameless? I'll kill you!"
Ye Si looked at the strangely shaped laser cannon in his arms, narrowed his eyes, and spoke again, "I do need someone to take me out, but I'm not stupid."
"Five million high-grade spirit stones? Even if I'm dead for a long time, how could inflation outside have gotten this bad!"
"So I tolerated your extortion, I don't care, but if you don't take me out and help me expand my evil cultivation influence, I'll... I'll..."
"I'll swallow all of these things and leave you nothing!"
After hearing what he said, Sheng Ning couldn't help but widen her eyes.
Ye Si stood proudly with his hands on his hips, his face, glowing with eerie blue ghost fire, was full of smugness.
Guan Yunchuan was speechless at his threat, "If you swallow them all, you'll probably explode and die."
"So what? Even if I die, you won't get these rare treasures."
"But we're not short of money. Your divine treasures are just icing on the cake, but we're still very wealthy even without them."
Guan Yunchuan, the honest man, almost drove Ye Si to his death with his words.
He looked at the two fellow disciples, pointed at their noses, and mumbled "you you you" for a long time without saying another word.
Finally, he sighed and waved his hand, saying, "Fine, just take me out of here."
"Since you can't help me expand my evil cultivation influence, I'll take that little tiger."
The little tiger naturally refers to the rag doll, Gou Sheng.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning slightly curled the corners of her lips, nodded, and smiled, "You want Gou Sheng? No problem."
When Sheng Ning received the square inkstone, she could hardly believe that she had found one of the Four Treasures of the Study so easily.
Ye Si told her that this was something he had found deep inside the earth.
It looked nice, but it was actually useless, so I left the square inkstone in a corner.
"I didn't expect you to find it even though it was like this."
Ye Si sighed, then lowered his eyes to look at the skeleton lying at the bottom of the pit.
That was his physical body.
When he entered the Tribulation Transcending stage, a lightning tribulation struck him. He was about to successfully transcend the tribulation, but the power of the lightning tribulation was far greater than he had imagined.
His primordial spirit was nearly shattered, and his inner core was also reduced to powder.
He barely managed to hold on to his last shred of consciousness as he fell into the cave, beginning a life of utter darkness.
My nose feels a little sore.
Looking at his charred remains, Ye Si thought to himself that he had finally made it through.
He jumped into the pit, pointed to his own remains, and said to Sheng Ning and the other person, "I want to take myself with me."
After all, it's a body I've used for so many years; I'm used to it, and I can't bear to part with it or let it go.
Sheng Ning looked in the direction he was pointing and saw that the skeleton he was pointing to was black.
She frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "Why is it black?"
"Struck by lightning," Ye Si answered without hesitation. "Back then, I was just a hair's breadth away from successfully transcending the tribulation!"
Recalling the feeling of being struck by lightning, Ye Si shuddered.
Sheng Ning didn't feel particularly scared upon hearing this.
More than fearing the lightning tribulation, she thought of a certain old man far away on the mainland.
"Senior brother, do you think Master will end up like that because he gets struck by lightning every day?"
The bones were all black; how terrifying must this lightning tribulation be?
This time, the two siblings were of one mind, and Guan Yunchuan also thought of his master.
He frowned and said in a deep voice, "Not necessarily. Master's skin is white, so he shouldn't have been scorched by heavenly lightning."
"Moreover, this person... underwent a tribulation of lightning. Only a tribulation of lightning could have such power, turning a person's bones black."
Sheng Ning breathed a slight sigh of relief upon hearing this.
She turned to look at Ye Si, then nodded to him, "I can take you out, but whether you can actually get out or not, we'll have to try to find out."
Night Market has been trapped here for far too long.
He was eager to go out and see the world.
Sheng Ning and his group have now collected almost all the rare and precious treasures from the pit.
They also found a square inkstone.
Ye Si couldn't wait to follow them outside.
"You, carry my remains, and we'll get out."
Pointing at Guan Yunchuan, Ye Si, head held high, took the lead and headed towards the exit of the cave.
Guan Yunchuan first glanced at Ye Si, who had given him the order, and then at his dark, skeletal remains.
He pursed his thin lips and looked down at the laser cannon, Gatling gun, and Cloud Breath Sword in his hands.
Having finally chosen the Cloud Breath Sword, he walked towards the skeleton, plunged the sword into the rib crevice of the skeleton, and carried it out of the pit on his back.
Seeing this, Sheng Ning, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but raise her hand to her forehead.
Ye Si led the way, Sheng Ning walked in the middle, and Guan Yunchuan followed closely at the back, the skeleton on his back swaying slightly as he quickened his pace.
