To everyone's surprise, right after Lu Wenxing, who seemed to have no chance of anything happening, dripped his blood onto the round platform, the platform suddenly lit up for a moment.
But not long after, the pedestal returned to its original state, and then there was no further movement.
Shi Xuan was greatly shocked. Could it be that his second senior brother had really gotten himself into trouble?
"Don't be so stingy, what's the point of just a few drops?" Shi Xuan said, pointing his chin at the round table at Lu Wenxing, "Put some more, be more generous."
Lu Wenxing also realized the special significance of this round platform to him. Hearing Shi Xuan's words, he reached out, but then something else occurred to him. He transmitted his voice to Shi Xuan, saying, "Junior Sister, do you think if I really open the door, won't I still be an obvious target? Won't I still be exposed?"
His response was a sword aura that Shi Xuan unleashed.
The sword energy was controlled with extreme precision; it was a tiny sliver that just managed to cut Lu Wenxing's wrist.
Blood gushed out and flowed into the small round platform.
In an instant, starting from the round platform, a soft white light emanated along the direction of the blood flow, and in no time, all the patterns on the door lit up.
The patterns looked complex, but the gaps were actually very fine; it wouldn't take much blood to fill the entire door.
At this moment, the entire gate was covered by a soft white light, which flickered. In a few breaths, the gate opened by itself, splitting to both sides to reveal the passage leading inside.
The group stood motionless at the doorway, for this was the place Lu Wenxing had opened, the place that belonged to his lineage.
Their team of over twenty people didn't know whether they should let him go in alone or go in with him.
Shi Xuan pondered for a moment. A totem of "New Life" was engraved on one corner of the gate, and she was determined to go in and explore. She wondered whether to let Lu Wenxing go in first or go in with him.
Lu Wenxing didn't think too much about it. He acted as if he were at home and warmly invited his teammates to come in and have a look around, even though he himself had never been before.
Seeing his reaction, Shi Xuan said to the team members, "Let's go in together, but don't make any sudden moves. Let our second senior brother receive the inheritance first."
The team members naturally responded.
They were also very curious about what the Land of Inheritance looked like. They had only ever heard of such a mysterious place, but had never seen it before, and they were all very curious about it.
Just as Lu Wenxing had predicted, Chen Qi ran to his side, put his arm around his shoulder and said, "Well done, Lao Lu. I didn't expect you to have such noble blood. Don't forget your brothers when you make it big in the future."
Lu Wenxing cupped his hands in a perfunctory manner and replied, "Of course, of course!"
Once the gate was fully open, the best team of over twenty people walked in in a grand procession.
However, the scene inside was completely at odds with the grand and imposing gate. Though described as an underground palace, it resembled more of an ordinary residence.
Upon entering, Shi Xuan immediately thought of the underground palace of the [New Life] organization.
It seemed that all the underground palaces of the [Newborn] organization that she had seen were of the same structure, with a long corridor in the middle leading to the innermost circular area, and rooms of various functions on both sides of the corridor.
However, the second senior brother and the new students seem to have nothing in common, so how did they get involved? Could it be because of Lu Wenxing's special bloodline?
Lu Wenxing has just awakened his demon bloodline; he is now a half-demon.
So, does that mean that the [Newborn] organization has some kind of relationship with the demon race?
Too many questions lingered. Shi Xuan, carrying these questions with her, searched every room along the way, gradually separating herself from the main group.
Lu Wenxing had already reached the end of the circular area, leaving only her and Lu Shenzhi to carefully observe each room.
The first few rooms were empty; due to the passage of time, the furniture and decorations were covered in a layer of dust.
Upon reaching the fourth room, it became clear that this had originally been a study. Long bookshelves lined both walls, though they were now empty.
A long table stood in front of the bookshelf, but it was completely empty.
Shi Xuan walked around the room, sat down in a chair in front of the table, looked at Lu Shenzhi standing opposite him, and said, "Senior Brother, what do you think the owner of this place is to Second Senior Brother?"
Lu Shenzhi leaned against a bookshelf and shook his head, saying, "I don't know. Anyone could be the one who leaves behind the legacy. Even without blood ties, it's possible to designate someone with a certain bloodline to receive the legacy."
When it's just the two of them, Lu Shenzhi always acts more casually.
Since Lu Shenzhi came back to life, Shi Xuan realized that her senior brother was a complete two-faced person.
He's very serious in public, acting like a senior disciple, but he's quite lazy and casual in private.
If any of the team members in front were to turn around and enter the house at this moment, he would definitely straighten up from the bookshelf he was leaning against and pretend to be a proper person.
Seeing him leaning against the bookshelf, Shi Xuan was also influenced by him, so he leaned his whole body back against the back of the chair and slid down, sitting in a paralyzed position.
The two senior and junior siblings looked quite different at that moment, with the senior brother standing improperly and the junior sister sitting improperly.
Shi Xuan wasn't satisfied with just sitting slumped over; he wanted to cross his legs, but when he lifted the other leg, it hit the bottom of the table.
Shi Xuan was stunned for a moment. Because according to her perception of the table's height, her movement should have prevented her from touching anything underneath the table, but in reality, she did.
This table is quite thick...
Shi Xuan remarked that the wood was of good quality and even reached out to touch the bottom of the table.
That's when she realized something was wrong.
It's not that the wood of this table is thick, but that this table has a hidden compartment!
Shi Xuan quickly beckoned Lu Shenzhi over.
The hidden compartment under the table is not as complicated as I imagined; it's just a small, concealed drawer that can be easily opened once you know its location.
There was a small booklet with a blank cover in the drawer, which looked like a journal.
Shi Xuan exaggeratedly said to Lu Shenzhi, "This is incredible, Senior Brother! Look what I found! A divine-level cultivation technique!"
"Whether the cultivation technique is divine or not, I don't know, but your bragging skills are definitely divine," Lu Shenzhi laughed.
Look at this senior brother, he's even started making fun of people.
Shi Xuan ignored him, sat back down on the wooden chair, and opened the "God-level Cultivation Manual".
What could this carefully hidden item possibly be? Shi Xuan eagerly turned to the first page.
Lu Shenzhi smiled leisurely across from her, asking in a teasing tone, "A divine-level cultivation technique?"
