Chapter 286 Extra 10
The cave was dark, with only the faint moaning sound echoing in the darkness, which seemed particularly strange. Jiang Sheng took out his mobile phone, turned on the flashlight function, and stepped into the cave carefully. As he went deeper, the sound gradually turned into a low murmur, as if telling a story.

Walking deep into the cave, Jiang Sheng was surprised by the scene in front of him. In a huge stone chamber formed by natural stalactites, there was a strange stone emitting a faint light, and the strange groaning sound came from this stone. Jiang Sheng was shocked. Could this be the place where the stone spirit hid after being injured?
He approached slowly, feeling both curious and alert. The surface of the strange stone was covered with complex patterns, as if recording ancient information. Suddenly, the light on the stone flickered, and then a vague figure slowly emerged from the stone. It was the stone spirit that had been missing for many days.

"You're finally here." Shi Ling's voice was weak and hoarse, completely different from his previous arrogance.

Jiang Sheng felt mixed emotions. He had never expected Shi Ling to end up like this. "What happened? Why are you here?"

The stone spirit sighed, with helplessness in his voice: "When I was exploring a small world, I accidentally triggered an ancient ban and was severely damaged. In order to recover, I can only temporarily possess this stone containing weak spiritual power. Without my guidance, you will not be able to find that small world."

Hearing this, Jiang Sheng felt both relieved and worried. Fortunately, Shi Ling was still alive, but worried that their path of cultivation seemed to be more difficult than imagined. "So, is there any way to help you recover?"

Shi Ling pondered for a moment, then revealed an ancient secret method that required some rare materials and a specific place for cultivation. Jiang Sheng silently memorized it. He knew that the burden on his shoulders had become heavier, but for the future of his cultivation, he was willing to give it a try.

Jiang Sheng had mixed feelings when he left the cave. On the one hand, he had found the stone spirit, which meant he might have a chance to recover his spiritual power; on the other hand, to fulfill the conditions proposed by the stone spirit, he would undoubtedly need to overcome many difficulties. However, it was precisely this challenge that inspired his tenacity and perseverance.

In the following days, Jiang Sheng studied hard and prepared for college life while secretly looking for the materials and places for Shi Ling to practice. He began to study ancient books in depth, communicate with hidden masters, and even risked entering some dangerous places. This process was a test of both physical strength and mental strength.

After countless days and nights of unremitting efforts, Jiang Sheng finally gathered all the necessary things and found a place suitable for the stone spirit to recover in a hidden valley. On a full moon night, he assisted the stone spirit in completing the restoration ceremony according to the ancient secret method.

When the stone spirit glowed again, its power was significantly restored, and Jiang Sheng also learned a lot from this series of experiences, and his cultivation had a qualitative leap without knowing it. More importantly, the stone spirit led him to find the door to the mysterious little world again, where the elixir and magic book hidden would be the key for them to embark on a higher level of cultivation together.

This experience not only made Jiang Sheng's handwriting contain more profound artistic conception from the cursive script, but also made him understand that the path of cultivation is not only about personal diligence, but also about not giving up in the face of difficulties and the courage to explore the unknown. The accidental discovery in the cemetery became an important opportunity for his life to turn around, opening a new chapter for him to reach the pinnacle of cultivation.

Last night, my father and I went out to sea on a private yacht, but we encountered pirates. They were probably after the confidential business document in my father's hand. During the battle, the yacht was hit, and I jumped into the sea to escape in the chaos. As a result, I was washed here by the waves and stuck on the reef for a whole day and night. "Jiang Sheng frowned when he heard this. Yongjian Group is a well-known large enterprise in China, involving real estate, technology, finance and other fields, with a huge influence. He had also heard of the name Lin Shixun, who was a well-known figure in the business world. Unexpectedly, this rich lady would encounter such misfortune.

"Commercial confidential documents?" Jiang Sheng thought to himself. The interests involved behind this may be far more complicated than it seems. He looked at Lin Wei, whose eyes revealed fatigue and despair, but no malice. After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Sheng decided to help.

"Okay, I believe you. But in your current situation, it's hard for me to get you up by myself. You have to bear the pain. I'll try to be quick." Jiang Sheng said, and took out the tactical rope he carried with him from his pocket, tied one end around his waist, and fixed the other end to a relatively solid reef. He told Lin Wei to hold the rope, and he tried to drag her up from the slippery reef little by little.

The process was not easy. The waves kept hitting the rocks, making every move challenging. With his excellent physical fitness and agility, Jiang Sheng finally pulled Lin Wei safely to the shore. At this moment, Lin Wei was almost exhausted, her face was pale, and her whole body was weak.

Jiang Sheng quickly checked her wounds. Fortunately, they were just some abrasions and minor cuts, not fatal. He took out the first aid kit from his backpack and gave Lin Wei a simple treatment to prevent infection. After doing all this, he took out his mobile phone, but found that the signal here was extremely poor and it was almost impossible to contact the outside world.

"It seems that we have to walk to a populated area." Jiang Sheng said to Lin Wei. Lin Wei nodded gratefully. Although she was weak, her eyes revealed strength.

The two walked along the rugged mountain road with difficulty. As they walked, Jiang Sheng asked Lin Wei for more details about the incident last night. Lin Wei spoke intermittently, mentioning that the pirates seemed to know the yacht's route very well, which made her suspicious of the people around her. Jiang Sheng secretly thought that this matter might be far more complicated than it seemed, and there might be a bigger conspiracy behind it.

After walking for nearly two hours, they finally saw the road in the distance. Jiang Sheng stopped a passing car and asked the driver to help take Lin Wei to the hospital, promising to pay him. Seeing this, the driver agreed immediately without asking any more questions. Before leaving, Lin Wei held Jiang Sheng's hand tightly and said gratefully: "Thank you, I will remember your kindness."

Jiang Sheng felt mixed emotions as he watched the car go by. This unexpected rescue operation had drawn him into a complicated vortex that might involve industrial espionage and violent conflict. But no matter what, he believed that every choice had its meaning, and since he had already intervened, he had the responsibility to find out the truth and protect the innocent.
