Chapter 50: A Small Profit in the Spirit Cave

Hearing this, the several Elders were all stunned, unable to respond for a moment, and even Zhang Ze at the side had the corners of his mouth twitching.

Money—Luoxia Mountain certainly could not produce it at the moment, so they could only think of a way to make Yan Xiao stay.

"Sect Master, please don't be angry. With your strength, passing the assessment is very simple. Right now, all the sects are focusing their energy on dealing with the Phantom Demons. Besides, with your relationship with the City Lord, they wouldn't dare to go too far."

Under the gaze of his fellow disciples, Luosang stood out to act as a peacemaker.

"Ding, system upgrade complete. Main quest unlocked. Host has triggered the main quest 【I Am Sect Master】."

【I Am Sect Master】: Become the Sect Master of Luoxia Mountain.

Quest reward: 10,000 Fear Value."

Just at this moment, the system's notification sound arrived. Yan Xiao's first reaction was that the notification sound was so stiff, and it didn't even call him Owner anymore, which made him feel very uncomfortable.

"Does the host accept the quest?"

Before he could react, the system asked again.

The reward was so generous, he naturally chose to accept.

"Main quest accepted successfully. If the host fails to complete the 【I Am Sect Master】 quest within 3 years, you will receive a system penalty," the system prompted.

There was a penalty?

"What penalty?" Yan Xiao asked.

"The penalty is random, and the severity of the penalty is determined by the difficulty of the quest. The lower the quest difficulty, the more severe the penalty, up to the death penalty. The host must treat this with caution!"

That scary?

"Sect Master... Sect Master... how are you considering it?"

Seeing Yan Xiao standing there blankly without moving, Luosang had no choice but to step forward and ask.

"Ah? What?"

Yan Xiao was startled awake by him and didn't react for a moment.

Is the Sect Master playing dumb? It seems he really is angry.

Luosang looked at Yan Xiao apologetically, his tone very sincere, "Sect Master can rest assured and participate in the assessment. If they dare to obstruct you, I will definitely not let them off lightly, and I guarantee you will sit in the position of Sect Master."

Luosang's words were resonant, sonorous, and powerful, with great momentum.

"Heh, it seems the Fire Origin Pill wasn't given in vain."

Looking at his tone of voice and confident appearance, it seems he has taken the Fire Origin Pill and his strength has greatly increased.

Yan Xiao felt secretly pleased. Aside from Feng Wanqing, Luosang must have no rivals in Luoyue City.

With him backing him up, this quest didn't seem that difficult after all.

"I accept the assessment," Yan Xiao gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice.

"Good! A man should be like this."

Luo Cang patted Yan Xiao heavily on the shoulder, showing his appreciation for him.

"If I fail, everyone remember to pay me back the money!"

Yan Xiao looked around and said to the several Luoxia Mountain Elders.

The scene was momentarily awkward.

"Ah... I have something to do, I'll be going first."

Of the thirty-six stratagems, fleeing is best; the Third Elder was the first to leave, leaning on his cane.

"I'll go see off the Senior Brother."

The Fourth Elder, Luo Hai, hurriedly stepped forward to support Luo Cang, and they slipped away together.

Left behind, Luosang and Luo Tian looked at each other and smiled bitterly; right now, Luoxia Mountain was most afraid of hearing the word "money"—it was a headache.

"Take me to find Qingxue, and by the way, tell me the specific situation of the Spirit Cave."

Yan Xiao looked at Luosang and said softly.

"Sect Master, please this way."

Seeing the expression Yan Xiao revealed, Luosang knew that he had agreed.

"Don't be happy too early. If I fail, remember to find a way to repay the favor you owe me."

Yan Xiao got a bit annoyed seeing Luosang's smile; this guy was too bad, not even revealing a bit of information to him beforehand.

"Your kindness of rebirth is something I cannot repay, so tomorrow you will definitely succeed."

Luosang said with a smile. In his mind, Yan Xiao was so brilliant and talented that this Sect Master position belonged to no one but him.

After roughly understanding the rules inside the Spirit Cave, Yan Xiao arrived at the cave entrance, intending to go in and take a look.

Taking a deep breath, Yan Xiao stepped forward.

"Wait... wait..." Luosang reached out his hand, but before he could finish speaking, Yan Xiao had already walked in.

Only a scream was heard coming from the cave entrance, "Why didn't you tell me there were no stairs!

Ouch... my butt!"

Luosang looked left and right, stifled his laughter, and walked away slowly with his hands behind his back.

Inside the Spirit Cave, Yan Xiao stepped into thin air, his body descended rapidly, and he landed safely on his butt.

He was now beyond speechless; who the hell was so talented to design such an entrance? Wasn't it intentional to try and break someone's neck?

Patting the dirt off his body, he slowly walked inside.

He snapped his fingers with his left hand, and a small flame lit up on his hand, illuminating the passage ahead.

The passage was not wide, and the further he walked in, the denser the Spirit Qi became; it was indeed a good place for cultivation.

After walking for more than 20 minutes, he arrived in a secret chamber. The chamber was not large and contained eight stone stools and tables; it must have been where the past cultivators of Luoxia Mountain practiced.

On the other side of the secret chamber was a stone door, with the three large characters "Seven Spirit Cave" written on it.

Entering from here would lead to the first level of the Spirit Cave.

The seven Spirit Mountains are distributed around Luoyue City, which means the Spirit Cave is right beneath Luoyue City, equivalent to a massive underground world; Yan Xiao began to feel some anticipation.

He pushed hard against the stone gate, but the stone gate did not move at all.

"Could it be that I need to use something like the Universe Great Shift to open it?"

Thinking of the scenes with Young Hero Zhang and Miss Xiaozhao at Bright Peak, the environment he was currently in was truly a bit similar.

Of course, it was missing a beauty like Xiaozhao.

He circulated his True Qi and pushed against the stone gate again, but the stone gate still remained motionless.

"Sigh... I don't believe this; watch me use the Universe Great Shift."

Yan Xiao rolled up his sleeves and locked horns with the stone gate.

Bang!

He struck the stone gate with his palm, and the stone gate emitted a ripple of air, with Spirit Qi undulating and spreading out like water waves.

The stone gate still did not open.

"It's got some tricks, huh."

Yan Xiao was greatly surprised; Luosang had told him the stone gate could be pushed open easily and had no restrictions, but now it seemed that was not the case at all.

"Owner, someone has set up an array here," the system finally could not bear to watch any longer and spoke up to remind him.

Having such a foolish host, the system felt quite desperate.

"Eh... didn't you upgrade and say you wouldn't have emotions in your speech? How did you change back to your original voice?"

Yan Xiao asked with an amused smile.

"After the upgrade, the system has multiple personalities, which are: aloof, mechanical, gentle, humorous, overbearing, sweet, seductive, etc. The system will randomly use various personalities to converse with the Owner," the system replied.

"Role-playing, huh? Then I choose the gentle female character; I don't want to listen to your voice that sounds like a middle-aged man picking his feet."

Yan Xiao rolled his eyes; this system had no good rewards and only came up with useless things.

"The host does not have the authority."

"Idiot."

The system cursed using a girl's voice; without needing to guess, Yan Xiao knew this was the aloof version.

Yan Xiao took a deep breath, decided not to lower himself to its level, and asked softly, "How do I get past? Can I open the seal using the Five Elements Divine Art?"

"You can, but you know Earth Escape, so why waste True Essence for nothing? Truly an idiot."

The system replied coldly.

Damn it...

The system was roasting people online, I can't handle this... I can't handle this; the key was that he didn't even dare to roast it back.

Yan Xiao chose silence and silently circulated the Five Elements Divine Art, passing through the stone wall.

In the backyard of Luoxia Mountain, inside Qingxue's room, Qingxue watched the images transmitted back by the system and smiled without speaking.

"Owner, with this setting of yours, will Yan Xiao be driven crazy by the system?"

In Qingxue's mind, a gentle voice said.

"He won't. When I'm gone, he won't know who to talk to about many things, and it will be very bitter to keep them bottled up inside. Having the system to bicker with him, he won't be bored."

Qingxue said with a smile.

"I feel like you're afraid Yan Xiao will be lonely and then find many sisters for you, so you intentionally set up such a system to punish him; it feels like someone is monitoring him."

The system said in a low voice.

"A little bit, perhaps. Who told him to be such a playboy? I get jealous too." Qingxue pursed her lips and giggled.
