What Qu Jianlei and the others didn't know was that at the moment they entered the stone cave, an unexpected change occurred at the plaza with the hundred or so doors.

The door they entered, which was originally gray turned white, suddenly turned red, extremely bright.

"Huh?" An A-level responsible for maintaining order noticed the change, "Someone has entered the inner circle?"

The news spread quickly, and all the teachers and guards immediately inquired about who had entered the inner circle.

Due to recording equipment on site, it was quickly identified that the student was Luo Hanshuang from Xingluo Academy.

The teachers from Xingluo Academy were overjoyed, "Haha, this child is really something."

Soon after, the identity background of Xiao BaiTian was also uncovered.

"Turns out they are from the Luo Family on Celestial Sharp Star... No wonder, they have some heritage even if in decline."

"I wonder what this kid can obtain, it would be great if there's an inheritance."

"Inheritance would be difficult, even some fortuitous opportunities would be nice..."

Inside the stone cave, as Qu Jianlei had speculated, Luo Hanshuang tried all possible items and found that there was no fourth prize.

She pouted reluctantly, "Alright, Ran, your turn."

Both girls stared at him, eager to see what he would choose first.

The first choice Qu Jianlei made was naturally the same as their first choice - that book.

Unexpected to the two girls, when his hand reached for the book, there wasn't the faint azure protective shield.

The moment he grabbed the book, an unexpected change happened! 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

The book turned into shimmering stardust in an instant, disappearing into the air.

"Inheritance!" Xiao BaiTian's eyes widened instantly, exclaiming softly.

And Qu Jianlei stood there motionless, like he had been immobilized.

Han Aunty's face showed a complex expression, truly beyond words.

Luo Hanshuang noticed her look and murmured softly, "Han Aunty, one is under protection during an inheritance process."

"I know," Han Aunty replied quietly, still with a face full of conflict, "Ah, such a fortuitous opportunity... enough to make one envious."

Luo Hanshuang nodded and then thought of another problem, her slightly chubby baby face wrinkling into a frown.

"Ah, the academy will definitely question me carefully... How am I supposed to make up a story?"

At this point, Qu Jianlei felt extremely uncomfortable, as if someone had hit his head hard with a stick.

Then a flood of information rushed into his mind, causing an immense headache.

Big Head Butterfly appeared timely, spinning crazily, like a turbocharged impeller.

The next moment, Qu Jianlei instinctively took out the vortex... fearing his current condition if he didn't.

He never forgot that he had an A-level and a C-level person by his side.

He heard Luo Hanshuang's words, but he had no ability to judge whether there was another meaning in her words.

At that moment, he just firmly remembered one point: don't easily test human nature.

Then, Xiao BaiTian's words reached his ears again, still a bit dazed, as if the speaker was in the distant sky.

"The vortex is lit up, this brain-machine interface is really powerful..."

"If the inheritance can be input into the smart terminal, could we copy a part from it?"

"Copy..." Han Aunty's mouth twitched as she listened, "You can try, but it's best to think carefully first."

Inheritance from divine texts is not something just anyone can covet, the chain reaction it can cause, the Luo Family has experienced it firsthand.

Luo Hanshuang thought less about it, "Then I'll discuss it with Ran... Oh, how do I make up a story to fool the teachers?"

The main shock Qu Jianlei endured lasted only a few seconds, mainly because he had never considered such a situation.

Even if he had thought he could get the book, he never expected to directly enjoy the enlightenment.

Fortunately, his spiritual power is quite strong, otherwise, he might have fainted on the spot.

Realizing the problem he was facing, he quickly made adjustments, and his mental resilience increased significantly.

Moreover, with the help of the little lake to share the responsibility of processing information and the vortex timely storing it, he regained his self-protection ability after seven or eight seconds.

However, he still didn't move, waiting nearly twenty minutes before taking a deep breath and rubbing his forehead.

"Whoa, this unexpected hit... almost killed me."

Hearing this, Luo Hanshuang quickly asked, "Are you feeling better now?"

"I am feeling a bit better," Qu Jianlei spoke while rubbing his forehead, "It's a bit nasty, how did the book turn into spiritual power?"

Actually, he could explain it himself, but... wouldn't it be better for the other party to explain proactively?

"The book was probably just an illusion technique," Han Aunty responded, "The core is the carrier of the inheritance, which you activated."

"Alright," Qu Jianlei continued to rub his forehead, "This means I am the chosen one, you two won't tell anyone, right?"

"Of course," Han Aunty replied unusually straightforwardly, not saying much more.

"Ran, what kind of inheritance is it?" Xiao BaiTian looked at him with hopeful eyes, "Is it convenient to talk about?"

"This inheritance, you won't be able to use it," Qu Jianlei replied solemnly, "For your safety, I won't say any more."

But Xiao Bai Tian's curiosity got the better of her; who cares about such things?

"I see there's a pill furnace and pills here, is this an alchemy inheritance?"

Qu Jianlei hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "That's right, but this alchemy system is different from the Imperial system."

"That's just right," Luo Hanshuang nodded, "The Empire is currently collecting information on a different system."

"It's useless," Qu Jianlei said with a bitter smile and shook his head, "Forget it, even if I tell you, you wouldn't understand."

Aunt Han chimed in again, "Is it because the alchemy materials are relatively rare?"

Qu Jianlei continued to smile wryly, "More than just rare, I haven't even heard of most of them."

Luo Hanshuang sighed upon hearing, "So there has been a severing of transmissions... Did the vortex download some inheritances?"

"Some of my insights have been transmitted," Qu Jianlei answered calmly.

"I've already said, a lot of the information is sensitive... If I gave it to you, it might really harm you."

"Alright then," Luo Hanshuang accepted it readily, "I'll come back for advice when I reach the Supreme level, okay?"

Qu Jianlei smiled and nodded, "Of course, at the Supreme level, I'll be waiting for such a day."

Luo Hanshuang looked at other items in the stone cave and spoke again, "Aren't you going to try and see if there's a second reward?"

"Honestly, having just one already makes me very satisfied," Qu Jianlei displayed a humble demeanor.

However, just as he said that, he turned around and headed towards the pill furnace again.

In the shocked gazes of the two women, he picked up the pill furnace once more, and fortunately, this time there was no anomaly—it was purely a pill furnace.

"This makes no sense," Luo Hanshuang wailed again, "This is supposed to be my internship, not Brother Ran's."

Don't be fooled by her being self-centered most of the time, yet she doesn't really irk anyone, at least that's how Qu Jianlei feels.

Xiao Bai Tian is like a kid who never grew up, a bit self-absorbed, yet genuinely sincere.

So Qu Jianlei just chuckled, "Haven't you figured out the reason yet?"

Luo Hanshuang furrowed her brows and asked in confusion, "Do you mean because you stepped in to break the impasse?"

Qu Jianlei smiled and nodded, then raised his hand with a thumbs-up, "You finally got it."

Xiao Bai Tian's eyes moved around, "So, does that mean you might have more rewards?"

"It's worth a try," Qu Jianlei took another step forward and picked up that box.

When Luo Hanshuang saw this, her eyes lit up instantly, forgetting even to complain, "See what's inside!"

"I suggest not looking," Qu Jianlei tucked the box away on his own, "Knowing too much isn't good for you."

Luo Hanshuang heeded the advice and didn't fuss about it anymore—it's a good trait of hers, she listens to reason.

Soon after, her attention shifted again, "That's already the third item, will there be a fourth?"

"I'm also quite curious," Qu Jianlei reached out and grabbed the yellow stone, and his expression immediately changed.

Seeing him like this, Xiao Bai Tian asked again, "What is this thing?"

"Some sort of energy ore," Qu Jianlei replied gravely, "It looks a bit like an Earth Crystal, but it really isn't."

In his mind, he already had a suspicion; the energy contained within this item was not a common form of energy in the Empire.

If he really had to name it, he would choose to call it... Spirit Stone!

"Take this fan!" Luo Hanshuang eagerly suggested, "I'm really curious to know what it is."

Qu Jianlei raised his hand and collected the fan, "Hmm, the fifth item, this time's a big score."

Xiao Bai Tian got anxious, "Brother Ran, tell me, what exactly is that fan."

"Probably a magical treasure," Qu Jianlei shrugged with an innocent expression, "I don't have anywhere to test it."

"A magical treasure..." Luo Hanshuang's eyes twinkled again, "Brother Ran, sell it to me then, name your price."

Do you even know what a magical treasure is? Qu Jianlei was a bit surprised.

But then he thought about it, this place is Celestial Hook, rich in inheritance—having sharper insight than the Hope Star Realm is just normal.

He curiously asked, "Would making a direct deal here trigger the Mist Mansion's restriction?"

"Impossible," Luo Hanshuang answered straightforwardly, "As long as it's not coercion, trading opportunities facilitate treasure circulation."

Qu Jianlei didn't find this statement incorrect, but he still remarked, "You seem to not know what this magical treasure does."

Yet Luo Hanshuang replied, "I just think this magical treasure looks cool."

Qu Jianlei laughed hearing that, "Do you feel... you haven't gained enough this time?"

Luo Hanshuang was taken aback for a moment, then decisively bowed in apology.

"I'm sorry, I got greedy, thanks for the reminder, Brother Ran."

"No big deal," Qu Jianlei waved his hand casually, then he looked at the other items, a strange light flashed in his eyes.

"Actually, I'm greedy too... Among so many things, how much more can I take?"
