Chapter 489: Chapter 509: The Great Monk Who Faked Death _1

Lin Chen quickly understood the situation.

Despite the rich spiritual energy being a necessary condition to heal Gu Yue Xi, only by entering the cave world could one access such energy. However, there were rules to enter the cave world - mortal beings from the human world were not allowed.

The woman in green asked, "Can’t she be cured without entering the cave world?"

Old Qin replied, "Without the rich spiritual energy, it’s impossible to heal her by altering her body. I can use elixirs that contain spiritual energy to prolong her life, but under such circumstances, she can only lay in bed and be unable to move like a normal person. Moreover, there’s a limited amount of elixirs. I can only provide enough for a few months; beyond that, there’s nothing I can do."

The woman in green frowned, "Old Qin, Lin Chen once saved my daughter’s life..."

Old Qin sighed bitterly, "This is not about me not wanting to help. Fine, considering your relationship, I’ll give her a Yuan Ling Pill. The medicinal effect should allow her to live like a normal person for three years, but besides that, there’s really nothing I can do."

Lin Chen could tell from Old Qin’s pained expression that the Yuan Ling Pill must be incredibly precious. The woman in green obviously held a certain status in Cangshan Cave, so Old Qin had to give her face.

The woman in green was sincere about helping, repaying Lin Chen’s past favor, but the situation seemed quite difficult now.

Saving her wasn’t the hardest part; it was entering the cave world.

Lin Chen suddenly asked, "Miss..."

The woman in green smiled gently, "My surname is Chen and my name is Tongxian. You can call me Sister Chen."

Chen Tongxian’s tone was warm and friendly, and she clearly held a lot of affection for Lin Chen, the savior of her daughter.

Lin Chen inquired, "Sister Chen, as I understand from Old Qin, if one can gain access to the cave world, then healing should be possible. May I ask how a mortal from the human world can go about entering the cave world?"

Chen Tongxian explained, "Generally, it is not allowed. After all, the two worlds would have more people coming and going if it were permitted, creating many hidden dangers. However, due to some special reasons, the cave world issues entrance passes from time to time. As long as one has a pass, they can enter the cave world."

Chen Tongxian’s tone was apologetic, "Entrance passes are extremely special and very rare. In the past, a few were given out, but now, basically no entrance passes are being issued. It’s as if the path has been cut off. During the last time I left the cave world, it was because I was commanded to carry out external affairs. Although I have some status within the cave world, I do not have the ability to obtain an entrance pass."

Lin Chen confirmed, "So with an entrance pass, one can definitely enter the cave world?"

"Yes!"

Chen Tongxian answered firmly, "As long as there’s an entrance pass, entry to the cave world is guaranteed."

Lin Chen reached into his backpack and took out the prepared Cangshan Dongmen Attraction pass, placing it on his palm, "Sister Chen, is this the entrance pass to the Cangshan Cave you mentioned?"

Everyone’s gazes fell on the jade pendant in Lin Chen’s hand, and their faces revealed astonishment.

Old Qin grabbed the jade pendant, and somehow, a faint light suddenly emanated from it, with the illusion of flowing light and movement as if it were alive.

Lin Chen’s eyes widened. The jade pendant had been with him for some time, and he had studied it many times - it seemed like an ordinary jade pendant. But now it seemed that the pendant held magic; he just didn’t know the way to activate it.

Old Qin looked up in surprise, "This really is our Cangshan Cave’s entrance pass. How did you get it?"

Lin Chen answered honestly, "I got it in the Liangchang Mountain Cave World, in an ancient temple left behind by a monk named Wuchen."

Lin Chen did not recount the details of obtaining the entrance pass but mentioned its possible origin to avoid any misunderstandings.

Old Qin’s eyes widened, "Wuchen went to Liangchang Mountain?"

Lin Chen blinked, Old Qin knew Wuchen?

Lin Chen replied, "There’s a stele there, I even took a photo..."

Lin Chen took out the photo of the stele that he had taken earlier. Old Qin looked at it and then handed it to Chen Tongxian, "Wuchen had been to Cangshan Cave before. He had a great time with the Cave Master, and stayed for a while. Later on, he caused some issues and then left Cangshan Cave. Nobody knew his whereabouts, but it turns out he went to Liangchang Mountain. However, this stele might be fake."

Lin Chen was taken aback, "Fake?"

Old Qin laughed, "The Cave Master himself admitted he’s no match for Wuchen’s strength. How could Wuchen have perished at Liangchang Mountain? Perhaps this was his means of escaping. Who knows where he’s gone now..."

The Cave Master of Cangshan Cave admitted his own inferiority?

Goodness, was this monk really that powerful?

Could this be why Liu Sansheng sent Lin Chen to investigate the ancient temple?

In Liu Sansheng’s words, if anything valuable remained, it would definitely be inside that ancient temple. It seems that Liu Sansheng had some deep understanding of this ancient temple where Wuchen had resided.

Lin Chen composed himself and asked, "Now that we have the entrance pass to the Cangshan Cave, will she be able to enter the cave world for treatment?"
