Chapter 159 Discovery
Cave No. 28 is about five meters wide and its depth is unknown. It is dark inside and there is no end in sight.

Pan Jun held his waist and walked in step by step. The further he went in, the wider the cave became. It was now more than five meters wide.

She counted her steps and walked fifteen steps inside. The top of the rock was low, and she had to lower her head slightly to pass through because she was short. If she was an adult, she would have to bend over to pass through.

After walking four steps with her head down, she entered another larger space and felt a sense of sudden enlightenment.

Only a slight light came in through the hole.

Pan Yun took out a fire starter and blew it up, barely illuminating the area, which was a large irregular circular space.

There is a stone platform covered with straw. Obviously, the previous cave owner slept on this platform.

Not far from the stone platform, there were several stalagmites hanging down, and underneath was a stone nest. Pan Yun could tell at a glance that water had once dripped there, but he didn't know why it was dry now.

A shallow water channel emerged at the edge of the stone nest. Pan Yun walked along the water channel holding a fire starter, and finally came to a pond.

The pool was naturally formed by water rushing out from the rocks, and there was even a shallow layer of water at the bottom.

Pan Yun held up a fire starter and leaned forward to take a look. After searching for a long time, he finally found a small crack on the upper side of the pool. It was obvious that the water in the pool also had a destination.

She let out a sigh and was about to lament when the tinderbox burned out.

Pan Yun put away the burnt tinder, took out another tinder and blew it up, then took out a candle, lit it and walked around the cave. Finally, he found a protruding piece on the stone wall and placed the candle on it.

"Luckily I prepared an oil lamp, otherwise it would have cost so much just to burn candles."

The cave became brighter and Pan Jun began to take things out.

He rolled up the straw and other things on the stone platform and put them aside. He then patted the stone platform clean and took out a mattress and quilt to put on it.

It's quite hot outside, after all, it's May.

However, it was cool in the cave, so she probably still needed to cover herself with a blanket at night. The stone platform was cold and hard, so she naturally needed a layer of cushion.

Pan Yun carefully arranged her bed and took out the pillows and placed them in order.

"Indeed, the most important things in life are eating and sleeping. If you have a good place to sleep, your life is halfway complete."

"Meow——" Pan Xiaohei called out, alerting her of its presence.

Pan Yun looked around and couldn't find a place to build a nest for it, so he found a spot at the foot of the bed and put its nest there, "Just sleep with me."

Pan Xiaohei jumped to the head of her bed, pointed to the spot next to it, and motioned for her to put it there.

Pan Jun shook his head, "No, you know I don't sleep well and my hands move a lot. If I leave it here, I'm afraid you'll fly into the air that night."

"Meow, are you threatening me?"

"No," Pan Jun said sincerely, "I am stating the facts."

Pan Xiaohei looked at her steadily, and finally everyone took a step back. Pan Jun placed its nest in the middle of the inner side of the stone platform, exactly where her waist was.

Anyway, the stone platform is very big, more than enough for one person and a cat to sleep.

After arranging a place to sleep, Pan Yun began to arrange a place to eat.

She walked around holding her waist, and finally decided to separate food and accommodation, and put the dining and training area in the outer cave.

There is also a lot of space outside the cave.

Pan Yun hung two insect repellent sachets near the bed, then blew out the candle and dragged the tied straw out.

There is no need to light candles in the outer cave, as most of it is bright.

Pan Yun quickly found a large stone and two small stones, which were placed together. Pan Yun suspected that the previous cave owners used them as tables and chairs. There were also several discarded pottery jars next to them. Pan Yun took a look and discarded them aside.

She only likes these three stones.

Pan Yun happily continued to use them as a dining table and stools.

She took out the stove and put it aside. At this location, the light was bright, but there was a protruding rock to block the wind. The stove was placed in the shadow space blocked by the rock, and she sat sideways in the bright place. It was perfect.

Pan Jun was busy everywhere. It was not until the sun went down and the sky gradually darkened that she had some time to carefully feel the difference of Siguo Cliff.

It was very quiet. Even the sound of Pan Xiaohei's footsteps could not be heard. No, it was not that quiet.

Pan Yun looked outside the cave. Outside was a rolling river. The wind was whistling, making a whimpering sound, which was very desolate.

In the dim night, the sound of the river and the whimpering of the wind are very clear.

Pan Jun lowered his voice and said faintly: "Listen, does it sound like a ghost is about to appear? Wow..."

Pan Jun turned his head suddenly and screamed, scaring Pan Xiaohei so much that his limbs retreated in confusion, and the whole cat rolled over twice before stopping.

Pan Xiaohei yelled angrily, "Meow——"

"Pan Yun—you idiot!"

Pan Jun raised his head and laughed loudly, saying happily: "You, a realm spirit, are actually afraid of ghosts, hahahaha..."

Pan Xiaohei said angrily: "Am I afraid of ghosts? I'm afraid of you... Bah, I'm afraid you'll become stupid."

Pan Yun held his buttocks and said, "Don't worry, I won't be stupid no matter who is stupid."

Pan Jun took out the oil lamp, found a sheltered place to hang it up, and then lit it.

When she had done all this, she placed a wooden basin in the outer cave, and also a large wooden barrel filled with water, with a lid.

She scooped some water from the basin to clean her hands, washed them carefully, took out two cushions and placed them at the entrance of the cave, then sat down cross-legged solemnly, opened her eyes and looked at the dim sky outside, smiled lightly, "Let's experience this cliff of remorse that makes people shudder."

Pan Yun calmed down, half-closed her eyes, and felt everything around her more clearly. The sound of the wind and the sound of the flowing river became louder, and she could even hear the faint chirping of insects...

It seemed no different from the outside world, but when she practiced her skills, she did not detect a trace of spiritual energy in the air.

How could there be a place without a trace of spiritual energy?

Even in the previous life, in the Dharma Ending Age before the revival of spiritual energy, the spiritual energy was almost cut off, but only almost. If you meditate carefully, you can still find the energy dissipating in the air.

But here, she searched for a long time but couldn't find any spiritual energy.

She couldn't find it, but she didn't get stuck. She practiced the exercises to train the Yuanli in her body over and over again, and refined the essence in her body into Yuanli.

As her sense of her body became deeper and deeper, and her inner vision became clearer and clearer, she saw traces of energy moving through her pores and escaping outward.

The speed was extremely slow, but she was not surprised and just watched quietly.

After calculating for sixty breaths, Pan Jun had an idea. If the rate of dissipation remained at this rate, then she would have lived here for twelve hours, and the amount of energy that dissipated would be equivalent to the force of a palm strike using 30% of her strength.

Not a lot.

But if she slaps out once a day but her Dantian doesn't get any replenishment, how many times will the energy in her Dantian be enough for her to slap out once?
It's really scary to think about it. As expected, there are many things that cannot be thought about too much.

Pan Jun opened her eyes, looked down at her palms, smiled after a moment, and entered into meditation again. This time, she paid close attention to the dissipated Yuanli, trying to trace where it went, but found that she could not find it.

These elements will dissipate instantly once they leave the body.

It really dissipated, without even a trace left.

Pan Yun got into a fight with them and was determined to find their traces...

Pan Xiaohei tilted his head to watch at first, but when he saw that she hadn't moved for a long time, he lay down to watch, then walked around in the cave, and finally lay down at her feet to watch, and finally lay down at the front of the cave entrance, looking at the rushing river below...

Pan Xiaohei heard the noise and stood up suddenly.

A figure flew past the cave entrance, and with two whooshes, an earthenware jar flew in and landed at the cave entrance, followed by three steamed buns, which were neatly stacked on the jar.

"Huh?" The figure flew past and came back with a whoosh. There was a sword under his feet, and he stood on it with his feet one in front of the other. He got closer to see Pan Xiaohei, who was on the verge of a fight. His eyes passed over it and fell on Pan Yun. He said with a click of the tongue, "Have you been sitting in meditation all night? Not bad, not bad, this is how one reflects on one's mistakes. Unlike other disciples, when they come to the Reflection Cliff, they either shout or howl like ghosts and wolves. It's so noisy."

"She performed well, so I'll give her an extra bun." After saying that, Cheng Lingzi took out a bun from the bamboo basket behind him and threw it over, stacking it steadily on top.

He waved at the black cat with wide eyes, and flew to the next hole to deliver the clay pot and steamed buns.

Pan Xiaohei took a step forward and looked down the cliff, and saw Cheng Lingzi stepping on a sword, passing through the caves at a very fast speed and throwing clay pots and steamed buns into them.

Pan Xiaohei thought about it, turned around and walked to the earthenware jar, raised his hand to pull off the top bun, picked it up with his mouth, jumped onto the stone table and began to eat it carefully.

"Is it delicious?" a voice sounded softly.

Pan Xiaohei froze and looked up, only to see that Pan Jun had woken up at some point and was sitting on the mat, looking at him with sharp eyes.

Pan Xiaohei immediately put away his guilty conscience, and ate the steamed bun openly, nodding his head, "It's delicious."

Pan Jun sat there without moving, and waited until it finished eating before saying, "Come and help me, my butt is stiff."

Pan Xiaohei looked at her in confusion, "When you practice, your blood and qi flow smoothly, will you also become stiff?"

Pan Yun: "...I fell asleep in the back."

Pan Xiaohei laughed at her silently.

Pan Yun was angry: "I'm still so young, isn't it normal for me to fall asleep? Come here quickly, or you won't have lunch today."

She threatened: "Cheng Lingzi only sent three steamed buns, obviously not counting your portion, do you have anything to eat?"

Pan Xiaohei rolled his eyes, jumped off the stone table, walked to her side, and arched his back to let her support him gently.

This little bit of strength was what Pan Jun lacked. Once she got it, her butt moved. Then she turned over and knelt on her stomach, supporting herself on the ground with her hands, and got up with a whoosh.

Seeing that her face was distorted, Pan Xiaohei grinned silently.

Pan Jun stood up by holding his buttocks. His legs were numb, so he moved his toes on the spot.

Pan Xiaohei: "You don't look like nine years old, you look like ninety."

"Shut up, and be more careful next time. If my breath changes, it means I have fallen asleep. Wake me up and go back to bed."

Pan Xiaohei didn't expect that he would have this mission. "If I can't be too far away from you, I will definitely not go up the mountain with you."

"It's too late," Pan Yun muttered, "You didn't want to sleep when I asked you to."

Pan Xiaohei: "Are you sleeping? That's a seal!"

Pan Yun: "It's the same idea."

She calmed down a little, walked forward and brought the steamed buns and the clay pot to the table. She took out a bowl from the spiritual space to put the steamed buns in, opened the clay pot, and found clear water inside.

Pan Jun shook his head and said, "It's still raw water. Don't you know that drinking raw water is unhealthy?"

She took out a teapot and a teacup from the space, glanced at the black cat, then took out a tea bowl and poured water into them.

Pan Xiaohei jumped onto the table and lowered his head to drink water from the tea bowl.

The man and the cat lived in rare harmony. They drank clean water in small sips and ate steamed buns. Then Pan Xiaohei asked, "What did you find after being in meditation for a whole night?"

"Isn't it amazing? I didn't find anything."

"Didn't you notice that you've been thinking about it all night?"

Pan Jun sighed and said, "I don't know if you have ever played the block game or Candy Crush Saga. It's an extremely simple game, but not boring at all. When I play it, I have to complete it before I can stop."

"Last night's meditation seemed very boring. I just watched my energy leaving my body and disappearing. There was clearly no clue at all, but I was fascinated..."

Pan Yun turned his slightly stiff neck and said, "If I wasn't so sleepy that my body couldn't bear it and fell asleep, I could have watched it for a little longer."

Because it’s really interesting.

They were like tentacles growing out of the body, constantly extending outwards, and then the tip disappeared out of thin air as if it had reached another space.

Pan Jun's eyes sparkled. "I like Siguo Cliff very much, but my cultivation is too low. If I stay here for too long, it will really hurt my foundation."

Pan Xiaohei was about to speak when she heard her say, "But it's not completely impossible."

Pan Xiaohei couldn't help but ask, "What method?"

"Didn't Fourth Senior Sister say that disciples who cultivate their Yuan Force can last longer than those who cultivate their Inner Force?"

Pan Xiaohei nodded, and then what?
Pan Jun glanced at it and said, "Then I want to test the speed at which the internal force dissipates. I always feel that whether it is Yuanli or internal force, the speed of dissipation is the same. The reason why Yuanli cultivators can hold on longer than internal force warriors is because they can use Yuanli to convert into internal force."

"When Yuanli is transformed into internal force, the volume is very different."

Pan Jun was eager to try, "I'll do it after I get up from a nap."

Pan Xiaohei watched in amazement as she enthusiastically went to wash up, then slowly performed a set of Eight Section Brocade in the sun at the entrance of the cave, and then went to sleep yawning.

Pan Xiaohei followed behind with a look of disbelief on his face, "After practicing Shengyang's technique, you actually want to go to sleep?"

"You will react to what you lack. I'm sleep deprived, so I naturally want to sleep."

The inner cave was cooler than the outer cave, so Pan Yun lifted the quilt and lay down in.

She sighed comfortably, "Bed is still more comfortable, especially the bed with a mattress in the cave."

As soon as Pan Yun finished speaking, his breathing gradually became longer and he fell asleep.

Pan Xiaohei also wanted to tell her that Cheng Lingzi had a high level of cultivation and could fly with a sword.

Seeing that she fell asleep, it jumped back to its nest and hummed in its heart: It’s not that I didn’t tell you, but you didn’t give me the chance to speak.
