somewhat different, lacking a gap like the Qixiong Pass, but this didn't affect the cultivators' passage.Moreover, the storm behind the barrier also bore a resemblance to the celestial phenomena that...The short and stout monk gave a wry smile.
Whether you fellow cultivators believe it or not, I truly haven't obtained any useful treasures.
"The cave dwelling had a unique location, being inside an unnamed cave on an island. It was opened up by a senior predecessor using great magical power. The reason why the hide of this Nascent Soul stage monster beast decayed so easily is not unrelated to that cave."
>
"There was a strange, eerie cold mist in the cave. It was not only extremely cold, but also carried a terrifying corrosive power."
“The cave dwelling was divided into three layers. Because the cave dwelling's restrictions faced the onslaught of cold mist at certain times, the power of the first two layers was greatly reduced, allowing me to crack them. That is why the cave dwelling was invaded by cold mist, and all the treasures stored inside were eroded to nothing.”

Let me know if you'd like to translate anything else!
"Only the third layer's restriction seems intact, its treasures might have been spared."
To strengthen his persuasion, the short and stout monk took out another pill and a talisman, both as decayed as the animal hide.
That elixir had lost all its spiritual essence, reduced to a deformed lump of residue. It was no longer recognizable as the original pill.
The talisman was more fragile. As people passed it around, a female cultivator accidentally pulled at a corner with a little too much force. In the next instant, the talisman shattered into countless pieces.
The female cultivator hurriedly apologized. The short and stout cultivator waved his hand dismissively, “Even such a spirit talisman couldn't escape its misfortune. Could any of you fellow cultivators come up with any treasures that could resist the erosion”
"This is the Quanyang Fu!"

Fragments like snowflakes drifted into the sea and were swallowed up by the waves.
The scholar in green sighed wistfully, watching the scene unfold. "I once had the good fortune to see it at an auction in the Inner Sea. 元嬰 ancestors all competed for it, and it was finally sold for a sky-high price. Yet this Guanyang Fu lies forgotten in an unknown cave, its power fading away, eroded into worthless paper. It's such a pity..."
Seeing the beast skins, medicinal pills, and Yang-Invigorating Talismans, everyone now believed a portion of the short and stout cultivator's words. Unless they found the ancestral cave dwelling of the Yuan Ying ancestor, it would be impossible to obtain so many treasures, and they were all decaying.
At this time, the thin old man who had been pondering for a long time suddenly spoke, "I remember that there was once an island master named Dong Ming Shangren from Huntian Island, whose mastery of the ice magic was extremely impressive. If Daoist Fan said that kind of cold mist is true, then perhaps only Dong Ming Shangren would dare to open his cave there…"
Qin Sang was unaware of the history of Huntian Island.
Others on Huntian Island hunting demons, more or less all have some understanding.
Upon hearing the name "Dongming Shangren," he showed a look of shock. Someone, with an anxious expression, hurriedly asked the short and fat cultivator, "Is it really that person's cave"
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
The short, stout monk shook his head. “Even the beast hides and yang talismans have become like this. What do you think could remain I did see some jade slips or something like that in the cave dwelling, but they were all rotten beyond recognition. After searching the entire cave, I couldn't find anything to prove the identity of that senior.”
"If it were Dong Ming Shangren's words, then Fan Daoyou's statement holds some credibility."
The gaunt old man seemed to have been moved, his expression suddenly softened and he was no longer so aggressive. “Winter冥’s reputation is very large, everyone here must have heard of it. But he occupied the Sky Island for the shortest time, no one knows where he finally went. It is also said that he was the most unworldly person, which led to chaos on the Sky Island at the time, comparable to now. Perhaps Winter冥 only focused on cultivation, so he opened his cave in such an unknown place…”
Halfway through his words, the wiry old man seemed to remember something, and was startled. "The many treasures left by Master Dongming in his cave... according to what you've described, it seems he encountered something and couldn't take them with him in time. Could that place... be Master Dongming's final resting place"
"The possibility is very small."
The stout cultivator disagreed with the thin old man's guess, "But there must be treasures in the cave dwelling that are no less valuable than beast skins and scorching sun talismans! I've said so much, my fellow cultivators, have you decided whether to go or not"
Everyone looked at each other, without hastily agreeing or refusing.
>
But Qin Sang could see that everyone was moved.
He is no exception.
The Yuan Ying Cave Mansion is incredibly rare. There are so many treasures inside the cave mansion, their value is no less than that of the ancient secret realm in Xiao Han Domain, not to mention the possibility of finding Yuan Ying's remnants.
However, the information revealed about the short and stout monk was too little to alleviate everyone's concerns.
In everyone's anticipation, the thin old man stepped forward without hesitation and asked, "Daoist Fan invited us to go together. After opening the restriction, shouldn't he want to hoard the treasures alone"
The short, stout monk sneered, "What I, Fan, was the one who discovered this cave dwelling. It was also I who pondered and finally figured out how to break the seal. Moreover, I have already agreed to pay you a reward. All you need to do is follow my instructions and work together to break the last layer of prohibition. Do you want to just effortlessly seize Fan's treasure"
Besides the short and stout monk, two female cultivators were also invited.
One of the exquisitely made-up female cultivators smiled playfully: "Compared to a relic from Yuan Ying, I wouldn't mind giving up a mere black lizard horn. Besides, you described the cold mist so ominously, we would be risking our lives going in to help you break the seal, right You’re so eager to assemble people and carefully selected us to come, there must be a reason."
The short, stout monk's face flickered between anger and doubt as he snorted coldly.
"I knew I couldn't hide it from your eyes... The restrictions left by the predecessor are for two purposes: to protect the cave and to seal the cold mist, preventing it from overflowing. Fan was foolish and ignorant, breaking the restrictions without realizing the consequences, causing the cold mist to churn and about to rush out of the cave. If we wait any longer, the cold mist will inevitably alarm the surrounding monsters."
“Fan had no choice but to do this. Otherwise, once my friend leaves the island, the treasure would fall into the hands of the demons.”
As for the safety of the cave, you needn't worry at all. With your abilities, you should be able to withstand the cold mist before breaking the seal. Besides that, there are no other dangers inside. The cave's barrier is a purely protective one.
Besides, Fan never thought about, nor had the ability to, monopolize it all. He certainly wouldn't want to lose his life because of outside forces. But let's be clear, if you want to split the treasure, then don't expect Fan to fulfill any previous agreements. Moreover, after breaking the restrictions, Fan must choose one item first, and then everyone else can share equally.
Seeing the short and stout monk being so agreeable, the others couldn't say anything more.
The scholar in green robes said, "What if there's only one treasure in the cave abode Would you, Daoist Fan, still want it all for yourself"
"Not bad!"

The stout monk said resolutely, “I, Fan, have gone through countless hardships. You all are enjoying the fruits of my labor. If you don't even agree to this condition, I would rather see it fall into the hands of the demon clan. The possibility of only one treasure appearing is extremely small. In case such a situation really occurs, I can compensate you accordingly.”
