After I left the sect, the entire sect knelt down and begged for forgiveness.

Lin Yan opened her eyes and saw Tang Yuan staring at her sleeve. As if sensing something, she shook it and shook out the white crocodile.

Then, the "powerful" Amit was chased and pecked by Tangyuan, and for a while, chickens and dogs flew all over the airship, making quite a scene.

Under the blazing sun, the palm trees by the river drooped and curled their leaves, losing their vitality.

A hot wind rustled through the air, making a dry, whirring sound. She wanted to drive the flying boat directly there, but flying magical artifacts were prohibited from flying here.

Although she possessed the physique of a Golden Core cultivator, she still couldn't withstand the scorching sun.

As she was thinking about how to get to the stone statue, she looked at the river and then at the flying boat, and a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in her eyes.

She manipulated the airship for a while, shrinking it before launching it into the river. She then moved the defensive formations and barriers onto the airship as they were, before taking the three little creatures aboard.

The river was calm, so she used her spiritual power to accelerate the speed of the flying boat.

The speedboat sped across the water, splashing up droplets. She sat in the speedboat, feeling the gentle breeze caressing her cheeks.

No need to walk there, no need to get sunburned, no need to carry three little ones – three benefits in one go!
Lin Yan realized the importance of having a small flying boat when traveling. She would need to buy one with even more features once she left.

After being activated by spiritual power, the flying boat traveled very fast on the water and arrived in front of the boulder in no time.

Lin Yan maneuvered the flying boat to a slow stop in front of the boulder, looking up at the tall and mysterious stone statue. She left the two little ones on the flying boat, then hoisted the white crocodile onto her shoulder and leaped to the statue.

She placed her hand on it, and the stone statue once again emitted a majestic, solemn, and mysterious voice, asking her to offer sacrifices.

She complained, "This stone statue is just like you; it loves to urge people to offer sacrifices!"

Amit wagged his tail awkwardly, feeling utterly ashamed. Hadn't he initially pressed for sacrifices to regain his power? Who knew the believer would turn into his master…

Seeing that the lotus above was still blue, Lin Yan said to the white crocodile on her shoulder, "Why don't you turn the red lotus into a blue lotus, and we can use it to impersonate it?"

"No, it can distinguish between real and fake."

The white crocodile glanced at the stone statue, then didn't want to look at it anymore. It jumped down and gestured at the statue a few times.

The stone statue reopened its mouth, asking people to offer new items as sacrifices, the simplest of which was sand and grass.

Lin Yan's lips twitched slightly. "You can even change the items that require sacrifice?"

"No, it changes the offerings every day, but we need to ask again."

The stone statue has a little trap that's both deliberately difficult and a test of luck. It changes the offerings every day, but it won't reveal anything unless you ask. Touching the statue will still show the same image as before.

The blue lotus needs to be sacrificed the day before. If it is more than a day later, even if you find the blue lotus and offer it as a sacrifice, it will not be successful.

Cultivators who accidentally enter are unaware of this rule and will be severely misled.

Amit was originally an indigenous person living here, so he naturally knew the intricacies of the matter.

"So, coincidentally, the newly spawned vegetation is sand grass?"

"Oh... I used my privileges to try it a few more times, and I got lucky."

"..."

So what was the point of her racking her brains to figure out how to offer a blue lotus as a sacrifice?
Is he a clown?

After the sand grass was offered as a sacrifice, a hole appeared behind the stone statue.

There were steps leading down from the entrance. She put away the flying boat, picked up the three little ones, supported the barrier, and stepped onto the steps. After she reached the bottom, the steps disappeared. Looking to the right, there was a cascading waterfall, with a river flowing underground.

The river that once flowed through the oasis turned into a waterfall here...

The underground is rich in spiritual energy, which contrasts sharply with the oasis.

On both sides of the river, there were clusters of beautiful crystals; if she didn't look closely, she would almost have thought they were spirit stones that had been colored.

Lin Yan had never seen such beautiful spirit stones before, and asked Amit, "What are these beautiful stones?"

"Colored crystals are all flashy and impractical. Go to the altar; that's where the good stuff is."

Lin Yan believed that if something was unfamiliar to her, it was likely uncommon. Scarcity increases value, and uncommon items can become valuable through effective manipulation!

As she said this, she made the rabbit and glutinous rice ball transform into their battle forms and walk on their own, while rewarding them with spirit stones and spirit fruits.

The two little ones were not convinced and pointed at the white crocodile that was pawing at its arm, making gurgling noises.

"Master, we are so pitiful~ Why do you only hug it?"

"Because it is old, we should respect the elderly and care for the young."

The two little ones clearly didn't know what respecting the elderly and caring for the young meant, but they knew their owner was right, so they obeyed.

She lifted the white crocodile onto her shoulder, took out a shovel, and prepared to dig for the colored crystals.

However, several giant, colorful spiders emerged from the ground and attacked without warning. Without thinking, she dropped the shovel in her hand and expanded the barrier to defend against the spider silk attacks.

Just now, as she brought the shovel close to the colored crystal, she suddenly sensed a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanating from underground. Immediately following, a solemn voice rang out, "Greedy human, stay and atone for your sins!"

She retorted, "I just wanted to dig up a few stones, and you think that's greedy? Do you think I'm here for sightseeing? I'm not taking anything!"

The words had barely left his lips when the voice gave a cold sneer and fell silent.

A short while later, several spider-like monsters emerged from the ground. As soon as they appeared, they began to spit out spider silk, not to weave a web, but to weave her!

She reacted quickly, and upon seeing the insect-like monster, she cast a fireball spell.

The fireball struck several spiders, sending black smoke billowing from their bodies and eliciting painful hissing sounds. But this did not deter them; instead, it fueled their frenzied attack.

The rabbit and Tangyuan also seized the opportunity to launch an attack. They rushed into the spider, used their sharp claws to cut the spider silk that was blocking their way, and when they got close to the spider, they mercilessly tore at it.

After an hour of fierce fighting, the spiders were cleared away, leaving the ground in a mess, and the colored crystal was also destroyed in pieces.

Lin Yan grabbed the white crocodile and asked, "You've lived here for so long, you must know what kind of thing was that just now, and what its weaknesses are, right?"

"I don't know," Amit blinked his beady eyes, his tone full of innocence.

It doesn't even know how many years it has been sealed and dormant, so it's normal that it doesn't know about the new things that have emerged, right?
To put it bluntly, it originally had a place here, but it was usurped.

All it wants now is to take people to the altar to see if its armor is still there, and incidentally, to see what items left behind by the dead false god can be taken away.

"..." If silence is golden, she's now richer than a country!
Lin Yan quickly took out pills and fed them to the two little ones. She also swallowed a pill herself, and her wounds and strength were effectively recovering.

Before he could even take out spirit stones to replenish his spiritual energy, another swarm of crocodiles surrounded him. (End of Chapter)
