Chapter 1773: The cave Adventure 2 (2)

“Lin kid, did you just call me?” The moment the stone door opened, Lin Yi heard elder Jiao’s voice.

“Elder Jiao, where did you go just now? I’ve called you so many times, but you didn’t answer. Now that the matter is over, you finally speak?” Lin Yi didn’t know what to say.

“Just now, the connection between you and the Jade space was cut off. Didn’t you feel it? I can hear you, but I can’t communicate with you. ” Elder Jiao said.

“I see …” Lin Yi sweated-he didn’t want to blame elder Jiao for this, but now that he was back in contact with the Jade space, he let out a breath of relief,””The strange phenomenon at the stone door gave me a fright. I’ve never had such an experience before. I thought not only was my strength sucked away, but the stone door couldn’t be opened either!”

“Uh … Just now …” Elder Jiao muttered,””As the stone door opened, I’ve also recovered some of my memory … Earlier, did the stone door absorb your energy and then return it to you?”

“That’s right, it’s exactly like that!” Lin Yi said with a nod.

“This is a very normal situation. The stone gate is only testing you!” “The first stone door can be opened by using the art of Dragon mastery, but the second stone door will only open if you’ve completed the first stage and entered the second stage!” Elder Jiao said.

“So that’s how it is!” Lin Yi understood, but the question that followed still confused him.”Elder Jiao, if that’s the case, then the stone door can just return my energy to me after absorbing it. Why do I feel that after the energy returns, it enters the stone door again, then passes through my left and right hands, as if it’s going through some kind of cycle, circulating many times before it stops?”

“Haha, you’re asking about this?” Elder Jiao had recovered a part of his memory, and he could answer most of Lin Yi’s questions,”The stone door is meant to filter and purify the energy in your body. Because the energy in your body doesn’t completely come from the pure energy in the Jade space, a part of it comes from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that you’ve cultivated, and the other part comes from the Qi gathering pill that you’ve taken, which also causes the energy in your body to not be particularly pure. So, in order to let you better cultivate the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery, before the stone door opens, It will automatically filter and purify the energy in your body! Don’t you feel that the energy returning to your body has become purer?”

“Indeed!” Lin Yi nodded. He didn’t think that the stone door would have such a benefit. He thought that he only needed to keep the five-year promise and activate the art of Dragon mastery to open the stone door!

“Lin kid, it’s almost dawn, and you’re still talking nonsense with me?” “If you have any questions, you can ask me when we get back,” elder Jiao suddenly reminded. “Take your stuff now and leave, or it’ll be too late for you to regret it!”

Lin Yi’s heart skipped a beat-it was bright as day inside the cave, and he couldn’t sense what was going on outside, but after hearing elder Jiao’s words and looking back, he realized that there was a faint white light outside the cave. It was almost dawn!

With that thought, Lin Yi quickly got up and walked towards the second stone door that was already open!

However, when Lin Yi entered the second stone door, the scene behind the stone door made Lin Yi very disappointed!

Behind the second stone door, there wasn’t any of the Grand Hall that the first stone door had-it was replaced by a simple room. The room was made of stone, and it didn’t look luxurious at all. But what made Lin Yi curious was that there wasn’t anything that looked like a light source in the room, but it was still bright as day. He didn’t know what was giving off this light.

But Lin Yi wasn’t surprised. He’d experienced the strange things in the cave ten years ago, so he wasn’t surprised by anything.

In front of the stone room, there was a small high platform. On the high platform, there was an ancient-looking small box. Other than that, there was nothing else!

Perhaps this was the chant for the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery? But Lin Yi was a little confused. Elder Jiao said that the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery had some benefits, and one of the biggest benefits was that the Jade space could become a storage space to store things. But now it seemed that there was only the second stage of the arts here, and nothing else. Could it be that the second stage of the arts would automatically open the storage space?

Although the scene behind the second stone door made Lin Yi a little disappointed, it was still within his expectations. A small box was all he got from this cave trip! Lin Yi went around the platform and saw the third stone door!

Next to the third stone door, there was a similar stone tablet with a line of words written in seal script:

Once the second level of the divine Art was completed, the stone door could be opened.

This line of text formed a sharp contrast with the text on the stone tablet, and Lin Yi almost cried! That’s great! Since it’s written like this on the stone tablet, it probably means that there’s no need to keep the five-year promise on the night of the full moon. As long as I complete the second stage of the art of Dragon mastery, I can open the third stone door!

With that, Lin Yi wasn’t in a rush to investigate. He went up to the platform and took the box, turning around and walking out of the cave!

He didn’t know how long it took him to open the second stone door, but the sky was definitely dark. If it weren’t for elder Jiao’s reminder, he might’ve missed the time and would be in big trouble. So Lin Yi didn’t rush to check the box. It was the same as going back to check-he wouldn’t be able to get out of the cave!

Although Lin Yi’s energy was self-sufficient and he wouldn’t die even if he was trapped in the cave for five years, there were so many things waiting for him outside. How could he just stay here forever?

Plus, there was nothing left in the cave that Lin Yi was reluctant to part with anymore. All the benefits were in this box. Lin Yi didn’t even look back and rushed back to his home in the village.

“You’re back?” Lin Yi didn’t think that old Lin wouldn’t rest the whole night, sitting on the recliner in the courtyard, quietly waiting for Lin Yi’s return. Old Lin’s eyes opened when he saw Lin Yi.
