Du Yuze and his companions suddenly understood why the Songshan Sect disciples were attacked by a large group of flying divine beasts; it turned out they had trespassed into the territory of these flying divine beasts.

Lin Yifan grew increasingly curious about what peerless treasure this stronghold's cave mansion contained, so he proposed, "There's no time to lose, let's go explore it immediately."

At this point, the Songshan Sect disciples were a bit displeased because they had discovered the cave mansion first. If Lin Yifan and his group were to obtain the most precious treasure, wouldn't they suffer a big loss? So they responded, "Master Lin, this cave mansion is quite small, could we go in first and then you go in later?"

For a moment, the scene became slightly awkward; anyone with sense knew what Monk Qingde's words implied.

They didn't want the meat to fall into someone else's mouth, but they also didn't want to be accused of being ungrateful, so they found this excuse to subtly express their intentions.

Lin Yifan didn't want to push them either. Although they had half the credit for exterminating the group of flying divine beasts, the fact remained that the Songshan Sect disciples had found the cave mansion first. They hadn't hidden anything and openly spoke of the treasure. If he was too hard on them, it could provoke a series of conflicts.

He didn't have a good impression of the Songshan Sect disciples, and since he had already acquired many treasures, he decided to let them go.

Moreover, he believed that the treasure in the stronghold's cave mansion certainly couldn't compare to those in the Forbidden Land House, either in quantity or quality. So why be bothered?

He replied, "Sure, no problem!"

Monk Qingde secretly breathed a sigh of relief, clearly indicating that Lin Yifan and his group were somewhat courteous.

Without further delay, he swiftly led the team to the stronghold's cave mansion in search of the treasures there.

Watching the departing backs of the Songshan Sect disciples, Tan Jingwen looked on with disdain and contempt, "This place can fit so many people, yet it can't accommodate our group of five? Truly hypocritical."

"Sister Tan, the fact that they're willing to share the cave mansion treasure shows great generosity on their part; let's not be too greedy," An Qi advised.

"Bullshit sharing, they've taken all the valuable treasures. What benefit is there left for us once we go inside?"

"Even if there's nothing, it doesn't matter. Just treat it as an act of magnanimity. After all, they did help Cinnabar Palace disciples in the Beixuan Palace secret realm, didn't they?"

"Ah! Our Junior Palace Master truly has a kind heart!"

Tan Jingwen was extremely exasperated, thinking such a person would easily be bullied or deceived amidst the scheming cultivators.

If it were her, a hot-tempered person, she would have already argued with the Songshan Sect disciples. Why should they go first when everyone had contributed equally?

Xiao Fang and Du Yuze had no objections since they followed Lin Yifan's lead. As long as Lin Yifan had no objection, they had none either.

The Songshan Sect disciples headed towards a cliff.

But the cliff showed no signs of any entrance, and Lin Yifan and his group were curious as to how the Songshan Sect disciples intended to enter this stronghold's cave mansion.

When they saw the Songshan Sect disciples disappear one by one before the cliff, they finally realized where the entrance to the stronghold's cave mansion was. It turned out to be on the cliff, but the entrance was covered by dense weeds and vines, making it invisible from outside.

Lin Yifan admired the Songshan Sect disciples' insight; anyone else wouldn't have thought there was a cave mansion here.

In fact, the Songshan Sect disciples initially didn't know where the entrance to the stronghold's cave mansion was either. It was only when they were searching around the valley and accidentally disturbed the flying divine beasts that they discovered it.

The Songshan Sect disciples all entered, suggesting that the cave mansion was quite deep.

However, only a few minutes had passed before the Songshan Sect disciples came out crestfallen; they all looked dejected, as if they had encountered some difficulty.

"What's the matter? Why the dejected expression?" Lin Yifan stepped forward and curiously asked.

"Alas! We're blocked by a high-level prohibition formation at the door and can't get in," Monk Qingde said, looking utterly defeated and demoralized.

With the treasure so near yet unattainable, the feeling was maddeningly frustrating.

"Hehe, it seems luck continues to favor us!"

Du Yuze was smiling broadly, very pleased.

"What do you mean by that?"

The Songshan Sect disciples were baffled, not understanding why Du Yuze would utter such arrogant words at this moment; did he have a method to crack it?

"Because among the five of us, we have a master of formations!" Du Yuze replied.

"Really?"

The Songshan Sect disciples were overjoyed; if this were true, then there was hope for them again.

"Absolutely!"

"Who is it?"

The Songshan Sect disciples were eager to find out the answer.

"He is my brilliant fellow disciple, Lin!" Du Yuze proudly introduced Lin Yifan's other identity with pride and satisfaction.

"Him?"

The Songshan Sect disciples were astounded, unable to believe it was true.

They had considered that the master of formations might be Du Yuze or perhaps Tan Jingwen from Cinnabar Palace, but never thought it would be Lin Yifan.

"How's that? Surprised, aren't you?"

Du Yuze had predicted their shock, as he had worn the same surprised expression upon discovering that Lin Yifan was a high-level Spirit Formation Master.

"Master Du, you must be joking. This is the last moment for jokes."

Monk Qingde still couldn't believe it because it seemed too absurd, unreal.

A minor cultivator in the early stage of the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm as a high-level Spirit Formation Master; who would believe such a thing?

High-level Spirit Formation Masters usually appear among the strong in the True Master Third Realm and above. For centuries, no one has broken this record; so Du Yuze's definitely playing with them.

"Who has time for jokes with you? If you don't believe, just forget it, I can't be bothered to argue."

"Master Du, is it really true?"

Monk Qingde was already bewildered.

Could that kid be so abnormal? Not only good at alchemy but also proficient in all kinds of super martial arts, and even more unbelievably, able to set up and dismantle formations. It's truly unimaginable.

"If you don't believe it, you can leave! Let us enjoy this treasure on our own!"

"That won't do, as brothers, we must share fortune and adversity."

Monk Qingde immediately changed his tone and cozied up to Du Yuze.

"But you were just quarreling over who goes first!" Du Yuze sneered repeatedly.

He thought the Songshan Sect disciples would be different, but they turned out like this as well; it seems there's no truly good sect in this world.

"That was just a joke, dear masters, please don't take it to heart."

"Alright! Enough nonsense, take me to see that prohibition formation, let's see if I can crack it," Lin Yifan urged.

He was really fed up with such two-faced behavior.
