Having interactions without trust is terrifying; you will be on the edge of danger every moment, not knowing what will happen next.

After this ordeal, Boss Ding became even more convinced that Lin Yifan was indeed his junior brother.

Because the Intestine-Piercing Pill is a unique poison created by the Voodoo Sect, and very few know how to refine the antidote.

Despite the many Martial Arts and personality traits of Lin Yifan that didn't fit the Voodoo Sect, the Witchcraft Palm, Corpse Dissolving Liquid, and Intestine-Piercing Pill Antidote each confirmed that he was an undeniable disciple of the Voodoo Sect.

"From now on, I can't doubt my junior brother anymore, or it will be difficult to restore this sibling relationship," Boss Ding vowed silently in his heart.

Regarding the medicinal herbs, Lin Yifan decided to put it aside for now and deal with it later.

Leaving the third secret chamber, they continued forward, heading towards the next chamber.

Each secret chamber had a Stone Gate, but these Stone Gates were no different from ordinary ones and could be easily opened. This puzzled Lin Yifan; it was a strong Cultivator's Cave Mansion, so why didn't the Stone Gates have any formation prohibitions?

So, he curiously asked, "Senior brother, were these Stone Gates always like this?"

"I don't know either; it has been this way since I came in," Boss Ding answered.

In fact, there's no need to think much; this cave must have been plundered by Cultivators because when he first entered, he found the treasures in the secret chambers to be extremely lacking, unlike what a strong Cultivator's Cave Mansion should have.

The last secret chamber proved this point even more; that great formation prohibition couldn't be undone by ordinary people, and the one who could set up such a powerful formation must have been a strong Cultivator.

"It seems that someone entered this cave before you, Senior Brother," Lin Yifan muttered softly, feeling somewhat disappointed.

If this cave had been looted, the secret chambers they entered would surely not have any treasures.

The fact also proved this point; in the first three secret chambers, they only found some medicinal herbs, nothing else.

The secret chambers were connected, progressing one after another, meaning the last chamber would certainly be at the very end.

Before long, Lin Yifan and his group entered the fourth secret chamber.

In the fourth chamber, Lin Yifan saw some weapons; it was clearly an armory, but unfortunately, these weapons were of lower to medium grade and had no value to Lin Yifan.

Because in Lin Yifan's Immortal's Cave Mansion, there were numerous high-grade and top-grade weapons.

"Junior brother! Do you want these weapons?" Boss Ding asked.

"No!" Lin Yifan rejected bluntly.

This reply surprised Boss Ding slightly; for someone at Lin Yifan's low realm, possessing a medium-grade weapon would be the best they could hope for, so why didn't he want them?

When Boss Ding was in Lin Yifan's realm, he craved for a medium-grade weapon.

Unable to resist, he asked, "Why don't you want them?"

"I have the strongest Palm Technique; what use do I have for these weapons?" Lin Yifan replied.

Boss Ding understood, realizing that Lin Yifan rejected them for that reason.

He proceeded to explain, "The Witchcraft Palm is a powerful Palm Technique that requires immense Cultivation Power to perform, so it's usually used when the enemy is caught off guard or at close range; therefore, in prolonged battles, other mid- and high-level Martial Arts become very important.

And most mid- and high-level Martial Arts involve weapons, so weapons are essential for a Cultivator's life and must be possessed and frequently carried.

Moreover, weapons have an advantage that the body can't compare to—they allow for long-range combat. If you can't even get close to the enemy's body during a fight, how can you talk about winning?"

"I understand your points, senior brother, but I really don't need them now," Lin Yifan replied seriously.

"Do you think their grade rank is too low to suit your taste?" Boss Ding asked curiously.

"Only you understand me, senior brother!" Lin Yifan outwardly praised, secretly delighted to find a way out.

"I knew you were that kind of person," Boss Ding laughed.

This junior brother exuded a sense of superiority, perhaps because their master praised him too much or was overly fond of him, or maybe he considered himself a genius; overall, he seemed somewhat lofty and arrogant.

"Since you know, senior brother, please don't force me anymore, okay?" Lin Yifan pleaded cutely.

This tactic worked very well at this moment.

Boss Ding felt his bones turning to jelly and quickly replied, "Alright, alright! I won't force you anymore. Do as you wish."

"Senior brother is so good! I knew you would always care for your junior brother the most."

"Ugh!"

After saying this, Lin Yifan even felt like he was going to throw up.

"Haha!" Boss Ding just laughed without saying anything more.

Not wanting the weapons, there was no reason to stay longer in the fourth secret chamber, so Lin Yifan and his group continued towards the next chamber.

In the fifth secret chamber, there were many paintings and calligraphy hanging, and an ancient desk with ink brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones, though somewhat scattered, indicating someone had rifled through them.

This secret chamber's existence proved that the Cave Master was someone who liked paintings and calligraphy.

Looking at the vivid and lifelike paintings on the walls, Lin Yifan couldn't help but exclaim, "These are truly masterful, vibrant and full of life; the strokes flow smoothly without a single flaw."

"Junior brother also appreciates paintings and calligraphy?" Boss Ding asked in surprise.

"I know a little," Lin Yifan replied.

In truth, he didn't really understand but just made an observation and spoke his mind.

"It seems junior brother is a genius! No wonder Master loves you so much!" Boss Ding couldn't help but sigh, feeling a bit jealous.

From Lin Yifan knowing how to refine the antidote for poisons, it was clear that the Master favored this disciple even more; otherwise, he wouldn't have taught him how to refine antidotes.

"You flatter me, senior brother! I often hear Master praise how excellent and amazing his eldest disciple is. And let me tell you a secret, Master said that among all the disciples, the one most likely to inherit his mantle is you, senior brother." Lin Yifan returned the praise.

Knowing that his senior brother was jealous, he decided to soothe his wounded soul to avoid being treated as an enemy.

"Really? Did Master really say that?" Boss Ding was overjoyed, feeling like the volcano in his heart was about to erupt.

Seeing Boss Ding's excitement, Lin Yifan knew he had won him over and replied, "Really! If you don't believe it, you can ask Master to verify it yourself when you return."
