On the way towards the Inheritance Place, there were many deadly beast they met on their path. Although the deadly beast was powerful, they were not powerful enough to stand in the way with Wang Tai. Of course, with him, their route was smooth as sailing a boat. As for Lu Chen, he was following them far from their detection. For the deadly beast, Lu Chen didn't have problems with them since, in the beginning, he didn't circulate his spiritual energy. Which, he didn't have one, to begin with, not following the Essence Path is destined to be an ordinary person. But, with his Heaven-Defying Body Refinement, of course, the situation will be different.

After walking for a few or so hours, Wang Tai, Mu Qingqing, and the crew arrived at the dwelling. While Lu Chen also reached the Inheritance Place from a distance.

"So this is the place?" Wang Tai exclaimed. Simply by looking at the outer structure of the Magical Cave. He could understand that this cave is a special and a magical one.

The rest of the members also nodded their heads. Although they have been here once, they weren't able to truly look at the awe-inspiring appearance of this magical cave. Those aged rocks in the surrounding area wherein holding the cave in order to maintain its formation. Besides that, The entrance was also majestically built with strange coiled up veins that hidden the entrance flawlessly. Truly a sight to behold.

"Mhm, I never thought of going twice in this place, the area will become more colorful and beautiful. I guess we didn't completely glance its magnificence." Mu Qingqing agreed, looking at the scene in front of her, she sighed. She never thought that the entrance was also outstanding as if it was really a 'Magical Cave'. The other members of the group also nodded their heads. As for, Wang Tai, he simply glance at every part of the veins, rocks, and the posture of the entrance. For him, it was really an Inheritance Place!

"Shall we enter?" The young man who asked the question was one of the members of Mu Qingqing's Group. He was wearing green-clothes as his aura was refreshing and feeble. But compared to Wang Tai, he was simply a fly.

"Mhm, let's go. Waiting for nothing is definitely not good for us, the lesser we are, the greater the goods. I hope nobody else will discover this place, or else we're gonna share with them or might even get into a disagreement... That might not be favored on us." Wang Tai spoke calmly while analyzing the pros and cons and continued. "Let's go!" With a big stride, he was the first one to step inside the cave.

After a few minutes, their silhouettes faded away leaving their disappearing shadow. At the moment, they were gone. Lu Chen stepped out in his hiding place and appeared near the cave.

[As expected of an Inheritance Place, truly an extraordinary place.]

Lu Chen nodded his head, and glanced at his surroundings, before stepping inside the cave.

After Lu Chen stepped inside, There was already five minutes time gap between him and Wang Tai's group; in order for him to get not detected.

Stepping Inside, Lu Chen could feel the abundant amount of Spiritual Qi flickering occasionally in the atmosphere. Besides that, every time he steps, there were different types of Medicinal Herbs inside the cave his pupils seen. But they were low grades herb, so Lu Chen didn't glance at them twice and continued walking.

Towards the depths, step by step, a sound of dripping of water could be heard in his ears. In his journey, Lu Chen didn't encounter Wang Tai's group which is good news for him. Currently, he was only a tiny first layer cultivator, bumping them was absolutely courting death. That's why every time he steps, he was very sensible—not daring to take one single mistake.— and carefully preparing his Micro Step and Gale Slash in any second of battle.

Walking for a few breaths, Lu Chen arrived at a grand place that was very pleasing for one's eyes. Therefore, he scans every aspect of dust or beasts could be seen in the cave.

Nothing, he didn't saw any heavy dust or deadly beast, yet, however, after arriving in this huge area wherein there was a cold lake in the nearby side of this place, and a well-built entrance across him. Near the entrance, there was a strange rocks, simply, didn't help anything. Besides the warning sign.

Still, Lu Chen continued walking, and finally, he appeared in a magical place, that is filled with beasts, a wide space, towering trees in the surrounding area, and entities that shouldn't be located here, was staying in the place. Truly a Magical Cave! Thinking of this, Lu Chen's mind gradually formed a word. 'Inheritance Place!'

Looking several meters away from him, thousands of deadly beasts were residing in the place. In short, in the towering trees. Furthermore, their strengths couldn't be underestimated.

First, Second, Fourth, and Fifth leveled deadly beasts were spotted in Lu Chen's eyes. He was far away from the beasts, which the beast didn't detect him, as well, his extraordinary cultivation technique. He was simply lucky in this kind of dangerous place.

Cautiously, he continued walking, but this time, he jumped in the towering trees and leaped branches to branches. After the time it takes to burn an incense stick. Lu Chen suddenly stopped, when he heard a sound of fighting in front of him.

[This must be Wang Tai's group]

Lu Chen hop towards the sound and after a few minutes, he arrived in the area. As Usual, Wang Tai was fighting with a deadly beast. But this time, he was fighting with the Red Blood-Scaled Python, while the other was also battling with two to three leveled beast.

[Earthly and Heavenly Treasure!]

Lu Chen's eyes lit up but quickly darkened. There was a treasure in front of him, but it was guarded with Red Blood-Scaled Python. Although they were fighting intensively, Wang Tai's eyes was continuously eyeing the Treasure with his spiritual sense. That's why Lu Chen frowned, although Wang Tai couldn't find him, but when the time he acts. Wang Tai will surely able to find him and escaping will be near impossible at that time.

Lu Chen furrowed his brows and continued watching.

All the time, Wang Tai was serious, he didn't dare to be careless with the beast. Although he was strong, this beast got a tough defense which troubled him from killing it. Besides, he didn't want to attract more beast in the surrounding area, which he was suppressing some of his strength.

As the ground shook and a layer of earth crumbled, The Red Blood-Scaled Python erupted with anger and made a strange sound. Its internal organs were slightly injured due to Wang Tai's continuous punching which made the Red Blood-Scaled Python furious.

Its body curled up in the tree, and its speed suddenly increased and pounced on Wang Tai intending to bite him in whole.

While they were busy fighting, Lu Chen slowly move towards the Earthly and Heavenly Treasure. But before that, he locates several deadly beast and baited them here. Only a few minutes, a horde of beast was sprinting towards Wang Tai and co.

Wang Tai's eyes darkened as he said heavily. "Everyone, gather into one and fight with the incoming deadly beast, I will first kill this and get the treasure."

"Wh-wh--" Before the other member could complain, Mu Qingqing glared at them and spoke. "Ok Brother Wang, leave these animals to us." The members were complaining inwardly, they were not dumb. This Wang Tai was surely making them the cannon fodder, while he enjoys the benefit. Yet, this Mu Qingqing was blinded with love at first sight.

They were helpless, although they wanted to leave, they couldn't. Because they were ashamed of their deeds a while ago. Since they couldn't argue about it, they quickly move and run towards the incoming deadly beasts.

Lu Chen arrived at the treasure, he really wanted to quickly grab the treasure and fled. But seeing Wang Tai, he disperses the thought of being aggressive. Instead, he was waiting for a great time.

Shou!!!.....

At this moment, Lu Chen suddenly heard a screech in the mid-air.

A Deadly Poisonous Eagle appeared in the air, flying towards Wang Tai. At the moment Wang Tai saw the eagle, his eyes suddenly turned solemn.

This Eagle was a fifth-ranked beast that could instantly rip apart fourth martial cultivator, and even sixth level martial cultivator will have a hard time killing this beast. As for Mu Qingqing and her team, they were stunned, hearing the screeching-sound... And their expression quickly turned terrified and their heart instantly filled up with fear. If they get bitten by the Eagle they will surely die on its deadly poison.

Wang Tai didn't dare to be careless and rapidly attempted to kill the Red Blood-Scaled Python in one go, slay the eagle, and quickly get the treasure and leave. He didn't care for these weaklings at all, for him, as long as he gets the treasure everything is useless. But soon, his face become full of anger. Because when he tried to sense the Earthly and Heavenly Treasure, it was gone in the blink of an eye.

Someone stole it!

"Damn! So you're following us all the time!! If I Wang Tai will find you. You will surely die in a horrible death!"

Wang Tai's voice echoed inside the cave, while Lu Chen, who was running faster as he can, curves into a smile hearing his furious voice.

"Ding!... System has detected host for having an Earthly and Heavenly Treasure, would you like to exchange that for a points?"

"Yes, Exchange!" Lu Chen had a face full of anticipation as he quickly exchanged the Earthly and Heavenly Treasure.

"Ding!... The system has awarded Host 'Lu Chen' with 500 exchange points. Congratulations to the player."

"Wh-what did you say?" Lu Chen asked in disbelief.

"Host 'Lu Chen' had been warded with 500 exchanges points." The System's voice sounded on his head.

"Again, what did you say?" Lu Chen asked as if he didn't hear it right.

"Host 'Lu Chen' had been awarded with 500 exchanges point." The system sounded on his head again.

"..."

Lu Chen didn't know what to say, he was speechless. He risked his life and came to this dangerous place and only to get 500 points? Was he crazy? Of course not, it was the system, who was crazy!

Lu Chen smiled wryly and asked. "System, can you tell me how to get more points with Earthly and Heavenly Treasure?"

"Ding!... Notifying the Host 'Lu Chen', The Treasures are divided into four kinds: Magical, Human, Earth, Heaven and it's further divided into four levels, Early, Middle, Late, Peak. While the Treasure Host 'Lu Chen' exchanges a while ago was merely a Treasure of Magical Rank Early Leveled. Generally, if the host could bring us more Earthly and Heavenly Treasure at a higher level. Host 'Lu Chen' will naturally receive the same amount of the treasure's price. I will not bother Host 'Lu Chen' anymore. Good luck." The system clarified Lu Chen about the rules, and only then Lu Chen understood. But he was still feeling unhappy.

"System opened the Exchange shop for me." Lu Chen spoke out, and after that, a transparent scene appeared in front of him.

'Exchange Shop'

"Costly, Body Refinement Crystal- 1500 Points."

"Average, Body Refinement Pill- 1000 Points."

"Cheap, Body Refinement Oilment- 500 Points."

Soon, items that for sale appeared in front of him, seeing that it was so costly. Lu Chen felt depressed looking back on his effort and only able to but the lowest item for sale.

His face twitches and wanted to punch somebody. But still, he dejectedly purchased the cheap rank.

"Ding!... Host 'Lu Chen' had been deducted with -500 Exchange Points. Congratulations to Host 'Lu Chen' for buying."

Lu Chen cursed the system inwardly. Soon, medicinal Oilment appeared on his hand, and after that, he quickly finds a hidden place to cultivate.

Although, it was dangerous. Lu Chen traveled for a few minutes, and shortly find a hidden place to cultivate. Instantly, he sat cross-legged and begin cultivating while he applied the oilment on his body.
