He couldn’t say that there was no other exit inside the Door of a Thousand Caves, but if there was even a slim chance they’d use this one, he wouldn’t let it go.
Judging by the fact that the Sunshine Sect disciples came together, they came prepared. But by the looks of it, they had obviously not expected to be lucky enough to actually find the key to the Door of a Thousand Caves.
“Sometimes, one can’t enjoy all opportunities despite all the luck. It seems I can only snatch it from others.
“This way might be a bit immoral, but I can only do this to become the strongest.
“However, you guys won’t lose out. You can count yourselves lucky to be able to be pave the way for the strongest. In the future, when I become the strongest expert, I will publish a book specifically to write down the path of my growth, which will be handed down for eternity. You guys will be a part of history that will be remembered by the world.”
Lin Fan comforted himself a bit before sitting next to the Door of Thousand Cave and raising his experience points. I’m wasting my time here. If they still don’t come out after a certain time, then I will have to think of some other way.
Lin Fan’s experience points kept on increasing.
After having cultivated for an entire day and night, Lin Fan’s experience points had increased by 430,000.
Lin Fan looked at the Door of a Thousand Caves. There was still no movement. It seems that these guys are quite happy inside. They still haven’t come after so long.

Inside the Door of a Thousand Caves…
“Be careful, Junior Sister Lu!” Senior Brother Wan shouted as he cut down a monster with a big saber wrapped in billowing earth energy. The other junior brothers rushed over and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
Junior Sister Lu’s face had gone pale. She was pretty terrified; her neck was almost bitten off by a monster. She turned her gaze to Senior Brother Wan, who was standing right next to her; sweet lilies immediately bloomed in her heart.
“Thank you, Senior Brother Wan.”
“Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, we have to be careful. The monsters here are stronger than the ones outside.” Senior Brother Wan had been very helpful. They had been here for a day and night already and had collected a lot of good things. There were some caves in here that seemed to have been abandoned for a long period of time, but they all had monsters guarding them. However, they could obtain many treasures from them after killing these monsters.
At this time, a disciple ran out of the cave with a lot of good stuff in his hand. “Senior Brother Wan, it had lots of good things inside. There are three upper-grade Mystic-class pills, six middle-grade Mystic-class pills, as well as a middle-grade Mystic-class weapon.”
All the disciples broke into laughter upon hearing this. Their faces were filled with joy.
“Our luck has been really great. I wonder how it is going on Senior Brother Ying’s side.”
They were still in the outer ring. They still had not ventured deep inside because they weren’t strong enough. They would just be walking to their doom if they tried to force their way in. However, Senior Brother Ying and the others had stronger cultivations. So, they parted ways from the rest temporarily to venture deeper. There were far better treasures there.
Senior Brother Wan nodded. “Everyone, please recount everything you have gathered. We will divvy it up after leaving this place.”
Everyone’s smile grew wider as they checked their harvest. Compared to what they made in the sect, they had really made a fortune by entering the Door of a Thousand Caves. That was how rich they had gotten in one day.
“I found an upper-grade Mystic-class cultivation-type pill, Yin and Yang Pill. This is one of the good things. It can raise the hard and soft types of earth energy to one’s optimum level.”
“Junior Brother, you are really lucky, but my luck isn’t bad either. I just saw a white bone and picked it up. It turned out to be an upper-class Mystic-grade palm-type skillset. Although it’s not that useful, it can be turned in to the sect for huge wealth.”
At this time, Senior Brother Wan took the opportunity to take out what he had obtained. Everyone instantly felt as if they had arrived in a world of pills. A rich medicinal fragrance permeated into the surroundings. A plume of white mist rose from the pill in Senior Brother Wan’s hand and took a solid form; sometimes it swam like a python, sometimes it roared like a tiger, sometimes it breathed like a kun peng. It was ever-changing.
“Senior Brother Wan, that wouldn’t happen to be a middle-grade Earth-class pill, right!?”
“It must be! Only a middle-grade Earth-class pill can create this kind of weird phenomenon.”
Senior Brother Wan had a wide grin hanging on his face. He then put the pill back into his storage ring. “That’s right, this is a middle-grade Earth-class pill, Myriad Monsters Pill.”
“Myriad Monsters Pill!? That wouldn’t happen to be a pill made from the blood of ten thousand different kind of monsters, right? It may be chanced upon by luck but cannot be sought. It is naturally formed, and its potency is extremely strong. After taking it, it can give its user the strength of ten thousand beasts. Its user will come to have strength and ferocity that are matchless in the world,” a disciple exclaimed in surprise. “Who would have thought that Senior Brother Wan would be so lucky to find this godly pill?”
“Junior Brother, you are wrong. This Myriad Monsters Pill isn’t the upper-grade Heaven-class Myriad Monsters Pill. It’s just a middle-grade Earth-class Myriad Monsters Pill, that’s all. It’s only made from the blood of a hundred monsters, that’s it. It’s far inferior to the upper-grade Heaven-class Myriad Monsters Pill.”
“Senior Brother, it’s better to swallow it quickly. Every bit of strength you gain, the further we can go. Maybe we can find even more treasure.”
Senior Brother Wan waved his hand and his expression darkened. “Senior Brothers and Junior Sisters, haven’t you noticed that you can’t supplement your own earth energy? In here, there is no earth energy for us to absorb. After having been here for a day and night, our earth energy has long been exhausted. Whether you are prepared to restore your earth energy with pills or not, I’m afraid it’s not good to stay here any longer.”
After having been reminded, everyone immediately came to their senses. They hurriedly checked their own situation.
“Sure enough, we can’t restore our earth energy.”
“If we can’t restore our earth energy and continue to remain here, we might run into a stronger monster and even fall here.”
“Then, will Senior Brother Ying and his team be in trouble?”
“They sure won’t! Senior Brother Ying is an Earth Star Border Stage Six expert. His earth energy cycle has long reached the state of endless growth. Furthermore, he is sure to have herbs and pills to restore earth energy. We only just noticed this situation because we were too excited.”
Junior Sister Lu thought for a while. “Senior Brother Wan, I think we should go out and wait for Senior Brother Ying to return. The key to the Door of a Thousand Caves is in our hand. After we return to the sect, we will offer the key to the sect and let the sect elders lead a team in. At that time, we may be able to go deeper and obtain more treasures.”
Everyone nodded in agreement. They too thought that Junior Sister Lu was right. Although it was obviously better to keep the key to the Door of a Thousand Caves in their hands, it wouldn’t remain a secret with so many people present here. After they handed it to the sect, they would not only receive rich rewards from the sect, but they could also follow the sect’s army.
At that time, we can rush through this dangerous Door of a Thousand Caves with the power of the sect. We won’t be any danger.
And if we find any peerless treasures, we can annihilate and annex the territory of the Magnificent Flame Sect in one fell swoop. At that time, our Sunshine Sect will become the largest sect in the world. Even the Saint Convent Sect would have to bow their heads in submission.
The more they thought about it, the more excited they grew.
“Let’s go, we will leave first and wait outside for Senior Brother Ying and his team’s return.” Senior Brother Wan pondered for a moment and straightened out the important points.
Although the dangerous Door of a Thousand Caves had so many enticing treasures, they had to remain alive to enjoy them.
They had many close calls along the way already. They had encountered many beast tides as well. Had they not hidden in a timely manner, they would have been trampled to death by those beasts.
They had seen countless bones spread along the way. Obviously, many people had come in before, but all of them ended up dead here.
It was quite evident that this place was extremely dangerous. It might’ve been because they were lucky, but they hadn’t run into truly dangerous things for the time being.
Lin Fan had been cultivating outside for a long time. His experience points had already reached ten million. With so many experience points, he was confident he could raise his cultivation to a higher level during this period.
Suddenly, there were movements at the Door of a Thousand Caves. Lin Fan’s expression immediately changed. He rushed to the Door of a Thousand Caves and activated Violent Body, becoming bigger at once. He then raised his fierce and mighty mace up, ready to bring it down as soon as anyone stepped outside.
Humm!
A ripple spread through the gap in the Door of a Thousand Caves as a figure walked out happily and swaggeringly. His face was filled with excitement. I have made a fortune on this trip.
However, that excited look on his face couldn’t remain for long. He suddenly felt wind blowing over his head as a pressure bore down on him. As he took a quick glance, his pupils constricted at once as the panicked look in his eyes grew more intense. What does this little giant want to do!?
Bang!
Points +300
Blood and brains immediately splattered around, dying the ground and walls red and grey.
“Hehe! You finally came out! I have been waiting for you for a long time.” Lin Fan grabbed the corpse with his pitch-black hands and threw it behind him. I will search you good when I have cleaned everyone up.
The poor become god as the rich share their fortune.
[TLN: It’s derived from the slang 穷吃鸡富快递 (The poor eat chicken and the rich share their fortune), which is slang from games; the players with poor equipment play cautiously and target only players with poor equipment while the people with better equipment share their equipment to help out the poor players.]
You people don’t understand such a simple truth? Do you need me to teach it to you?
