Ji Zining was somewhat bewildered.
She was genuinely bewildered by what Xiao Jing and Lin Shan were saying.
Is she suffering from her age because she doesn't recognize those things at all?
She could recognize magical artifacts upon close inspection, but she couldn't identify rare and precious materials.
Shaking her head, Ji Zining glanced at everyone and pondered for a moment.
She discovered that no matter what kind of divine weapon or rare treasure it was, it all dimmed its divine light within this cave.
For example, the fragments of imperial weapons and Saint Rank magic treasures that Li Chang'an and Qing Tan found would not look like ordinary things in the outside world.
Even so, a trace of divine light and power was still visible above.
Thinking of this, Ji Zining immediately concluded that this cave dwelling held a great secret!
If it weren't for something inside the cave suppressing the divine light of these treasures, Ji Zining's name would be written backwards!
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Ji Zining clapped her hands, drawing the attention of Xiao Jing and the others.
"Everyone, please stop for a moment and come over here. I have something to tell you."
The cave was completely silent until Ji Zining's voice rang out, echoing in everyone's ears.
Xiao Jing and the others stopped what they were doing and moved to Ji Zining's side.
At this moment, they were all in high spirits, and their admiration for Ji Zining deepened even further.
If it weren't for Ji Zining, they certainly wouldn't have entered the vortex of the Holy Spirit Sea, and they certainly wouldn't be here.
If they don't appear here, they'll miss out on those treasures that are everywhere!
Lin Shan patted his chest, looking quite forthright.
" Your Divine Son Hall, is there anything you wish to instruct me on? Leave it to me, and I will certainly handle it well!"
Qingshuang and the other two nodded.
If Ji Zining gives them any instructions, they will definitely do their best.
Li Chang'an was extremely grateful for his previous choice, which prevented him from backing down and waiting outside.
Now he even had a gut feeling that following Ji Zining was the right thing to do!
Now that he's come here with Ji Zining and the others, their relationship should be a bit closer, right?
After all, he had taken a great risk to venture deep into the vortex of opportunity in the Holy Spirit Sea.
Now he was curious about what Ji Zining was going to tell them.
Ji Zining glanced at the group and asked a question.
"Have you noticed anything unusual about this cave?"
What's unusual about it?
Upon hearing Ji Zining's words, everyone present showed thoughtful expressions.
Indeed, this cave dwelling is quite unusual.
It's almost unbelievable that so many treasures could appear in one place so densely.
Qing Tan glanced at Ji Zining, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke.
" Your Divine Son Hall, are you implying that the treasures here look just like ordinary things?"
"I just noticed that these treasures don't exhibit any of the divine light that treasures should have; they look far too ordinary."
"So commonplace that we didn't even notice their existence when we first arrived."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zining nodded approvingly.
" Qing Tan, you're right. That's exactly what I wanted to say."
"In this cave, whether it's rare and precious materials or magical treasures, they all seem too ordinary."
"The fact that a treasure that should be dazzling is so ordinary is a big problem in itself!"
"I suspect that besides the treasures we can see, this cave hides a great secret!"
As soon as the words were spoken, Xiao Jing and the others shuddered.
Yes, Qing Tan and Ji Zining are right, those rare and precious materials just now looked too ordinary.
Ancient books clearly describe them as having a divine light that makes them extraordinary at a glance.
But inside this cave, everything was utterly ordinary.
They almost missed it if they hadn't checked carefully.
However, what exactly is inside this cave suppressing those divine lights?
Why did so many treasures become so dim and afraid to show their brilliance?
Subconsciously, everyone glanced around the cave.
This cave is becoming increasingly unusual!
Ji Zining took a deep breath and said in a deep voice.
"Everyone, pay close attention to the details of the cave dwelling when collecting rare and precious materials."
"I think this cave might just be an entrance; the true nature of this space hasn't yet been revealed to us!"
Xiao Jing and the others nodded, all showing serious expressions.
They will need to put in more effort to find the true key to this cave.
Perhaps this is a great opportunity that belongs only to them!
As if she had thought of something, Ji Zining looked at Xiao Jing.
" Xiao Jing, where's the jade key I gave you earlier?"
The jade key flew out from here, and they still can't figure out its origin. Is it connected to this place in some way?
While Xiao Jing and the others were still immersed in Ji Zining's speculation, upon hearing Ji Zining's question, Xiao Jing snapped out of his reverie and quickly took out the jade key from his storage ring.
" Your Divine Son Hall, the jade key is here!"
With his palm outstretched, Xiao Jing was about to hand the jade key to Ji Zining.
Just then, the jade key, which Ji Zining had tried to probe without any response, suddenly emitted bursts of mysterious white light.
Under this light, the jade key floated slightly, detaching from Xiao Jing's palm.
Everyone present was taken aback by what they saw.
What's wrong with the jade key?
Ji Zining herself and smiled as expected.
This jade key is indeed inextricably linked to this cave!
Let me see what changes you'll undergo after you come back.
Since it's a key, it should be able to open a door, right?
The jade key flew higher and higher, enveloped in a mysterious light, until it reached the top of the cave.
"Click! Click! Click!"
A sound rang out, and under the watchful eyes of Ji Zining and the others, a portal slowly appeared at the top of the cave, which had originally been just a rocky wall.
