"Let's forget about it; a melon forcibly twisted off the vine isn't sweet. If she doesn't like me, anything you do will be in vain; so, I just want to use my sincerity, my real actions to touch her heart. If she doesn't accept, then I wish her happiness," Yi Chen replied.

In fact, what mattered wasn't the help of Lin Yifan and the others, but Xiaolian's feelings; so, he didn't want to force Xiaolian, to avoid making everyone feel awkward later on.

"Alright! Since that's the case, we won't interfere with your affairs anymore," Lin Yifan responded.

In fact, Yi Chen made sense; if Xiaolian didn't like him, their actions would undoubtedly be pushing her into a corner, and that wouldn't be good for anyone.

Rather than making everyone unhappy, it was better to let things develop naturally. When the time came, if they were meant to be together, they would be sweetly together; if it was time to let go, then they'd let go happily; no one would owe anyone anything.

"We've all seen the sincerity of Brother Yi Chen, it's just that I don't know if my wilful and stubborn little sister has noticed it," Lin Yifan sighed in his heart, and then stopped thinking about these matters.

"You still haven't answered my question just now, where did Xiaolian go? Why isn't she with you?" Yi Chen curiously asked.

If he couldn't get this issue clear, his heart would be uneasy.

"She's feeling guilty and has gone to repay kindness. After some time, she will come back," Lin Yifan answered.

It was Xiaolian's own suggestion; no one forced her.

"Repay kindness? Whose kindness is she repaying?" Yi Chen continued to ask.

"Who else but her biological parents whom she has neglected these past few years," Lin Yifan answered.

"Oh! I see! Repaying kindness is good, very good. As the saying goes, a grateful person can't be too bad," Yi Chen spoke somewhat incoherently, afraid that Lin Yifan and the others would see through his thoughts and laugh at him.

However, his worry was unnecessary, for Lin Yifan and the others had long seen through him.

They didn't expose him, to spare his embarrassment.

Following that, they continued chatting.

After dinner that evening, Lin Yifan and Zhou Jiajia went back to their respective rooms to rest.

They were exhausted from the long journey; everyone wanted to rest well.

But Lin Yifan didn't go back to his room to rest, he went back to check the Immortal's Cave Mansion inside the space ring, as well as the Martial Arts taught to him by Qingxu Immortal.

Ever since he had obtained these Martial Arts and treasures, he hadn't really looked at them; therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity now, he wanted to thoroughly check them out.

First, he wanted to see what treasures the Immortal's Cave Mansion actually contained.

So, he took out the blue ring, then using Mana, he flashed himself inside.

"Whoosh!"

Quickly, he found himself inside the Immortal's Cave Mansion.

Lin Yifan had not expected the space ring to be so mystical, capable of holding a living person inside; indeed, it was utterly magical.

If he could also bring outsiders in, then in the future, he could bring Zhou Jiajia and the others to live there together, and they could be happy however they liked without anyone knowing—just the thought was exciting.

Suppressing his excited emotions, Lin Yifan began to check what treasures he had.

First, he went to the Spirit Stone Repository to see how many Spirit Stones he actually had.

As he pushed the door open, a wave of fresh and rich Spiritual Energy rushed toward him.

He had never smelled such rich spiritual energy before, not even in the spiritually dense Peach Blossom Valley; thus, his first feeling was excitement.

Such dense spiritual energy indicated that the room must contain many spirit stones.

However, the scene before him was disappointing; because he didn't see a single spirit stone in the room, not a single one, it was very empty.

"What the hell? Why is there spiritual energy but no spirit stones?" Lin Yifan was baffled, not knowing what was going on.

After that, he wouldn't give up and decided to go in and search carefully to see if there were any hidden compartments or secret doors in the room.

But after he had felt around the entire room, he found no such things, which puzzled him.

Clueless, he sniffed the air in the room again to see if there were any changes.

He found that the room's spiritual energy was still consistently dense.

"Could the entire room be made of spirit stones?"

At this thought, Lin Yifan was shocked, never expecting such an outcome.

The room was filled with spiritual energy, meaning that as long as he sat cross-legged in the room, he could directly absorb spiritual energy for cultivation without the need to move spirit stones, saving a lot of trouble.

Inhaling the dense spiritual energy in the room once more, Lin Yifan felt relaxed, all fatigue gone, no longer feeling tired.

"Ahh! So comfortable!"

After stretching, Lin Yifan reluctantly left the Spirit Stone Repository.

Next, he went to the Ore Repository to see if the Qingxu Immortal had collected any rare ores.

Pushing open the door, he saw all kinds of ores neatly arranged on shelves, shining brightly.

These were not ores mixed with impurities; these were extremely pure crystal stones, nearly free of any impurities. Therefore, they shone brightly and were as translucent and sparkling as diamonds and gemstones.

Lin Yifan walked over and saw many that he didn't recognize; this indicated that these ores were very likely rare ores that had vanished from existence, belonging to Ancient Times.

Lin Yifan felt like he had stumbled upon a treasure, then carefully examined and savored them, unable to put them down.

Each shelf compartment had an explanation for the corresponding crystal stones, so he could recognize these top-quality crystal stones and understand their uses.

After careful observation, he found that most of these top-quality crystal stones were used in the forging of weapons, while a minority were used in the refinement of elixirs.

Lin Yifan had never heard that these few top-quality crystal stones could be used to make elixirs, not even in the Medicine Saint Bright True Master's encyclopedia. This meant he could refine elixirs that even the Bright True Master had not managed to, which excited him.

Because he could finally break free from the dominance of the Bright True Master and surpass himself.

Before disappearing, the Qingxu Immortal had urged him not to trust anyone, especially his master, the Bright True Master, which made him wary of his own master. Hence, he didn't want to live under the thumb of the Bright True Master, being suppressed in Martial Arts or Alchemy.

Only by breaking free from the palm of the Bright True Master could he soar the cosmos, look forward to the future, and become a true powerhouse.

After leaving the Ore Repository, he went to the Medicine Repository.

Upon entering, he smelled a strong medicinal fragrance.

The Medicine Repository was even larger than the Alchemy Room of the Bright True Master, and the medicinal materials displayed inside were much richer than those of the Bright True Master's.

Here, Lin Yifan saw many Seventh Rank, Eighth Rank, and even Ninth Rank medicinal materials he had never seen before, unimaginably abundant.
