A journey through ancient times, a journey of exquisite divine skills

Chapter 373 Prepare the rattan canes, the totem inside the cave

"Junbao can now cultivate, this is such a wonderful thing! Of course I'm happy!"

"Yes, yes, this is all thanks to our heroine Lin."

Leng Xiyue smiled and cupped her hands in greeting, her tone slightly teasing, but her eyes held a hint of satisfaction.

Yun Dan didn't catch the teasing in his words; instead, she became serious.

"You two should hurry up and start cultivating."

We'll try to explore that cave in a month.

Almost eight years have passed without us even realizing it.

As she spoke, she looked up at the sky above the Abyss of Extremes.

Looking at the blue sky and white clouds above reminded her of the people in the village.

They must be married and have children by now!

Seeing the longing in her eyes, Leng Xiyue laughed heartily, but still couldn't help but give her a word of advice.

"It would be best if you could get out, but don't have too high expectations."

"What if it's just a cave with no way out? You'd be even more disappointed and upset."

Yun Dan sniffed and then smiled.

"I know what I'm doing. Right now, the most important thing is for you to quickly master the breath-holding technique."

"Even if you can't get out for the time being, as long as you can go in, it's better than guessing here."

Zhang Sanfeng then spoke up: "Don't worry, I won't hold you back, girl."

"Know it!"

After Yun Dan finished speaking, she turned and walked towards the wooden house.

"I'll go and make you some meat soup so you can nourish your bodies and practice your skills!"

The two men looked at each other and smiled as they watched her light and agile figure disappear into the distance.

The sunlight outside the Orchid Pavilion was just right.

Although the future is uncertain, at least for now they all share the same hope.

Time flies like sand slipping through your fingers; more than half a month has passed in the blink of an eye.

For the past two weeks, the bottom of the Abyss Valley has been unusually quiet.

Zhang Sanfeng and Leng Xiyue devoted almost all their time to practicing the breath-holding technique taught by Yun Dan.

Yun Dan spent most of her time preparing various foods for the three of them.

She has entered that cave twice more in the past two weeks.

This time, she planned to investigate before going in again.

To her surprise, there really were some things on the stone walls inside the cave.

The walls inside the cave were carved with strange patterns, crisscrossing and resembling the outline of some kind of mechanism, yet also carrying a touch of ancient totemism.

However, these patterns left her completely baffled, and she had no idea what they were.

Yun Dan dared not make any rash moves.

She was afraid that there might actually be some kind of mechanism on the wall.

If she touches it carelessly, it will prevent us from leaving this abyss.

Then you'll truly regret it.

That afternoon, Yun Dan poked her head out of the pool again.

She stood on the shore, wiping the water droplets from her face and shaking her long, wet hair.

He nodded with satisfaction as he looked at his masterpiece at the entrance of the pool cave.

That's because she's been working on her five-cubic-meter storage space lately.

The vines placed in the space gave her hope again.

Over the years, she has spent her spare time fiddling with rattan.

There are now four bundles, each nearly 10,000 meters long.

Upon seeing these vines, she thought of a way to help Zhang Sanfeng and Leng Xiyue enter the cave more quickly.

That means having the two of them hold onto one end tightly.

She went into the cave first to pull the vines.

This will allow them to get inside more quickly.

Unfortunately, while the idea was good, the spacing between the vines was still too far off.

However, she came up with another idea.

She led Zhang Sanfeng and Leng Xiyue to the location of the vines.

Then they were made to pull themselves along by the vines.

When Zhang Sanfeng saw Yun Dan return soaking wet, he asked, "Did you go inside again?"

"Ok!"

She quickly approached Zhang Sanfeng and asked, "Junbao, have you finished your cultivation?"

Zhang Sanfeng smiled slightly and said humbly, "Fortunately, I have not failed in my mission and have achieved some minor success."

"Wow, your comprehension is insane!"

Yun Dan clicked her tongue in amazement, her face full of admiration, "You've only been cultivating for a few days! And you've already mastered it!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Sanfeng looked puzzled: "Pervert? What is that?"

Yun Dan waved her hand and laughed.

"Oh, I was just praising you! You're the best martial artist in the world!"

Zhang Sanfeng quickly shook his head: "I've just lived a long time, I wouldn't dare to claim to be the best in the world."

In terms of comprehension, I am far inferior to you, you clever little devil.

"I am utterly unworthy of the title of the best in the world."

"Let's not talk about that now, Junbao, I have two pieces of good news for you!"

Yun Dan leaned closer and said mysteriously.

A hint of curiosity flashed in Zhang Sanfeng's eyes: "Oh? Could it be that you've made another new discovery?"

"That's natural!"

"First, I've figured out how to get you in faster and save some energy;

Secondly, I saw some strange carvings and patterns on the walls inside the cave.

To me, they look like mechanisms, but I can't understand what those drawings are about.

So, to avoid touching anything that might trigger a mechanism or something, I didn't dare to touch anything.

She paused, then added, "Let's go see Uncle Leng together after he succeeds in his cultivation."

He's from this world; he might recognize those things.

Zhang Sanfeng nodded in agreement: "You did the right thing. Luckily, you weren't reckless."

If there really is a mechanism, randomly activating it could trap you inside, which would be dangerous.

Yun Dan immediately leaned forward with a grin: "Am I smart?"

Zhang Sanfeng was instantly amused by her, stroking his beard and saying, "Smart, of course you are smart."

They were able to create such an exquisite martial art as the Linglong Divine Skill.

He is a hundred times wiser than the old Taoist priest.

Yun Dan's cheeks flushed instantly upon hearing this: "Oh dear, why are you making fun of me again!"

Another ten days or so have quietly slipped by.

That day, Leng Xiyue finally woke up from her seclusion.

He pushed open the wooden door and saw Zhang Sanfeng sitting alone in the Orchid Pavilion, drinking tea.

When Zhang Sanfeng saw him come out, he put down his teacup, smiled, and cupped his hands in greeting.

"Congratulations on your successful seclusion, fellow Daoist."

Leng Xiyue quickly returned the greeting with a cupped-hand salute, her tone relaxed.

"Thank you, Master Zhang."

He walked to the Orchid Pavilion and sat down. After scanning the surroundings and not seeing Yun Dan, he asked, "Why is only Master Zhang here? Where has that girl gone to play again?"

Zhang Sanfeng chuckled: "She's been incredibly busy these past few days trying to ensure we can successfully enter that cave."

"For the two of us?"

Leng Xiyue raised an eyebrow, somewhat puzzled.

Zhang Sanfeng then told him in detail about Yun Dan's activities with the rattan these past few days.

After listening, Leng Xiyue shook her head helplessly, but a smile involuntarily crept onto her lips.

"This girl always has these ingenious ideas."

Although his words were somewhat teasing, there was a hint of warmth in his eyes.

It's thanks to this lively and energetic girl that he's had some life back in all these years.

As the two were talking, they heard a noise in the distance. Without even looking, they knew that Yun Dan had returned!
