Lin Jingge hadn't expected that her casual chop would produce such a result, so she immediately became more cautious.
Throw Xiaoshi out so it can check if there are any hidden spaces inside the cave.
And it actually happened!
Following Xiao Shi's instructions, Lin Jingge swung her sword several times at a spot on the wall near where the bloodstones were piled up.
The wall was not as sturdy as Lin Jingge had expected; instead, it collapsed easily, like a shoddy construction project.
The space behind the wall was small, but the scene inside was shocking and infuriating.
Inside, there were mountains of corpses.
The entire space was filled with corpses.
The corpses looked as if they had been drained of their life force; their withered, black skin covered their bones, making them emaciated.
After breaking through the wall and entering the controlled area, the human skin immediately decomposed along with the clothes on the body.
Several jade tablets rolled down from the mountain of corpses and landed at Lin Jingge's feet.
As fresh air entered, the red thread binding the jade pendant turned to ashes. Without the red thread to restrain it, the jade pendant naturally fell off!
Lin Jingge cautiously used her sword to lift a jade pendant, only to discover that it was an identity token.
There are many jade pendants on the ground, in various shapes and patterns.
Xiao Shi looked at them one by one, but in the end he only recognized a few jade plaques from prominent families.
Among them is a jade tablet from the Cloud Peak Continent.
Besides jade pendants, there were also many rings and other items that are not easily perishable.
Lin Jingge swept everything away, then cleaved through space to bury the remains.
[Tsk tsk tsk, the corpse is in such a state, it seems this place is at least a hundred years old, if not a thousand years old.] Xiao Shi sighed.
Lin Jingge didn't reply, keeping her lips pursed the whole time, her mood inexplicably heavy.
Murder and looting are commonplace here, but this was the first time Lin Jingge had ever seen so many countless corpses piled up together so directly and simply.
The number is alarming.
Lin Jingge sealed the cave, then hurriedly led Lin Shu back.
She didn't tell Grandma Lin that she was going out, and she was in a hurry when she returned because she was worried that Grandma Lin would be worried if she couldn't find her.
Lin Shu was exhausted and let Lin Jingge hold her.
He held Lin Jingge's neck tightly with both hands, looking towards the increasingly blurry cave behind him.
He sighed softly to himself.
He had protected the mainland for many years, but who knew that such a thing would happen right under his nose?
Who did it?
Lin Shu was lost in thought.
He simply couldn't imagine anyone possessing such great abilities as slaying dragons and phoenixes.
"Gege..." Lin Shu murmured softly in Lin Jingge's arms.
There was a sense of confusion in his tone.
Lin Jingge stopped walking and looked down at the person in her arms.
All I could see was a silver head.
"Hmm? What's wrong?" Lin Jingge sensed the confusion and sadness in Lin Shu's tone.
He raised his hand to comfort the other person and patted their head.
He hugged Lin Shu reassuringly and patted him gently on the back.
Then he noticed that Lin Shu was holding his neck tighter.
"If we have time, let's go to that cave from before," Lin Shu said in a low voice.
Lin Shu didn't say what he was going to do, but Lin Jingge guessed it.
It's probably for the dragon and phoenix remains sealed underneath.
When she broke through it, she discovered the restriction, but due to its age, the restriction had almost completely dissipated.
Otherwise, Lin Jingge really wouldn't have been able to break through so easily.
"Let's go and tell Grandma when we get back."
"Um."
...
Lin Jingge renewed the fee for the cultivation room and went to a cave near Qingyun Village.
Similar to the cave discovered in the Starry Forest, the remains of dragons and phoenixes, as well as human remains, were found underground.
Lin Jingge placed the altar into the space.
The altar was made of some unknown material, incredibly hard, yet Lin Jingge couldn't even leave a mark on it.
There are four altars; the warehouse simply cannot hold them all.
Fortunately, they found a lot of spirit stones and spiritual items in the storage container that fell off the corpse.
Although many of them are unusable, fortunately some are still usable.
Xiao Shi accepted all comers, and with the addition of a jar of pangolin saliva, he finally unsealed the land outside the warehouse that was used for planting.
The four altars completely filled the planted land.
They came in a hurry and left in a hurry.
They spent almost the entire journey traveling, and afterwards, Lin Jingge obediently cultivated in the cultivation room.
Before we knew it, the end of the year was upon us.
As if she had timed it perfectly, Granny Lin went to find Lin Jingge.
Granny Lin's talent level was low, making it difficult for her to advance. She watched as Lin Jingge used countless spirit stones and treasures to reach the Spirit Master level.
She never imagined that she would become a Spirit Master in her lifetime, and she was quite emotional.
What they felt even more sorry for their granddaughter's resources was that they thought it would be a waste to use them for themselves.
She talked to Lin Jingge several times, but each time the conversation ended badly. In the end, Grandma Lin finally relaxed and decided to accept what her granddaughter had given her.
"The Yunding Sect will be coming to the capital to select people at the end of the year, so we'll enter the city tomorrow," Granny Lin said.
Now, Lin Jingge has reached the peak of the Spirit Master realm, and is only one step away from becoming a Grand Spirit Master.
Lin Jingge hadn't decided whether to go to Yunding Continent yet, but the people from Yunding Continent had already arrived.
She didn't want to leave Grandma Lin, but she couldn't be pushed along by Grandma Lin.
...
The Imperial City.
"Get out of the way! Get out of the way!" A monster-drawn carriage pulled by five monsters was driving down the street, and the person clearing the way was shouting for people to get out of the way.
The person used spiritual power, and the sound traveled very far.
Lin Jingge and her group had just dressed up and spent spirit stones to enter the imperial city when they saw this scene.
Naturally, the group didn't want to cause trouble, so upon hearing the noise, they instinctively hid on the side of the street.
But when the demonic beast chariot approached, Lin Jingge's feet seemed to be nailed to the ground, and she didn't move.
Her gaze was fixed on the woman who had lifted the curtain on the monster carriage.
It's Ling Wei!
Something inexplicably attracted Lin Jingge to her, clamoring within her and urging her to steal something.
"GeGe!" Xiao Shi exclaimed, but found that Lin Jingge did not move.
Grandma Lin was quick-witted and pulled Lin Jingge back.
"What happened to you?!" Grandma Lin asked, her voice still shaken.
Lin Jingge only came to her senses when she heard Grandma Lin's voice, her eyes looking somewhat confused.
Lin Shu glanced at Lin Jingge with a puzzled look, then looked at the departing monster carriage.
He sensed something in that person that was the same as Lin Jingge's.
However, he couldn't tell what it was for a moment.
"Grandma, I..." Lin Jingge said dryly, having just been trampled by the monster at the last second: "I was just lost in thought."
Lin Jingge comforted Granny Lin, trying to dispel her worries.
"It's alright. Be more careful next time, and don't get distracted at times like this."
