The little dragon climbed onto Li Lin's knee. Li Lin looked at the little dragon's body, which had grown about two centimeters longer than three days ago, now measuring fifteen centimeters in length.
After a moment of surprise, Li Lin guessed that the little dragon must have gained some benefits after consuming the blood of the fire Yin monster. It seemed that, like his cultivation of the Yin-Yang Spirit Martial Art, the little dragon also possessed a similar yet unique method of cultivation.
Li Lin put the little dragon into his sleeve and stood up to look around, planning to find a way to leave this place, as he could not stay trapped here forever.
"Space bag." Li Lin's gaze fell on the dried-up body of the fire Yin monster on the ground, noticing a cyan-black small bag, which was indeed a space bag. A space bag belonging to a warrior at the Martial Soul level could contain astonishing treasures.
Li Lin immediately took the space bag of the fire Yin monster into his hands. If the fire Yin monster were not dead, it would naturally be impossible to access the items within its space bag. Just like the items in his own storage ring, even if someone else obtained it, they couldn't open it. After binding the storage ring with his blood, it bore his soul's aura. Unless someone much stronger than him tried, they couldn't easily break into it.
Now that the fire Yin monster was dead, the space bag had become ownerless. As long as there were no special arrangements made on it, anyone could easily open it after re-binding it with their blood.
Li Lin picked up the space bag, dropped a bead of blood into it, and immediately, a faint glow wrapped around the bag. With a thought, he explored inside. The bag was not protected by any special means, allowing easy access.
"Truly, a Martial Soul level powerhouse does have rich possessions." Li Lin was delighted as he found a jade crystal card inside the space bag, displaying a balance of thirty thousand gold coins. Besides, there were more than ten second-grade elixirs, five third-grade elixirs, among which two were healing elixirs that Li Lin recognized from the jade slip Uncle Jiang gave him. They were Qi Restoring Pills, third-grade healing elixirs, which he needed right now.
The other three third-grade elixirs were meant for enhancing Qi. With these three elixirs, Li Lin was confident he could at least break through to the ninth level of Martial Warrior, or even advance to the Martial Master level. Third-grade elixirs were incomparable to second-grade ones; the energy contained within was on a completely different scale.
As for fourth-grade elixirs, Li Lin did not find any. A Martial Soul level powerhouse might not necessarily possess fourth-grade elixirs.
Apart from these, there was also a jade slip and a seemingly ordinary long sword in the space bag, likely crafted by a Spiritualist at best.

To Li Lin's surprise, the jade slip contained a fire attribute martial skill, but it was only of star-level beginner grade, no different from the Mountain Splitting Palm.
"Not bad," Li Lin thought to himself. Although it was only a star-level beginner martial skill, in strict terms, the value of this martial skill was much higher than that of a third-grade elixir, almost comparable to a fourth-grade elixir. Elixirs, while hugely beneficial, could only be used once, but martial skills were different. They could accompany one for a lifetime, and no one would easily teach them to others. Major sects and families tightly controlled martial skills, strictly prohibiting their dissemination, making their prices exceedingly high. Even star-level martial skills were in high demand, far exceeding the price of second-grade elixirs.
Examining the items in the space bag, Li Lin was most interested in the fire attribute martial skill, followed by the five third-grade elixirs. The price of third-grade elixirs was already extraordinary. As for the thirty thousand gold coins, Li Lin knew that compared to gold coins, elixirs had a much greater effect on him.
He paid little attention to the dozen or so second-grade elixirs. Although these and the Yuan Boosting Pills he crafted were both second-grade elixirs, his own Yuan Boosting Pills were significantly better.
"This space bag is perfect. I'll use it to divert attention in the future, to prevent others from discovering the secret of my storage ring."
After putting away the space bag, Li Lin cautiously peered out of the cave entrance, only for a howling whirlwind to nearly pull him out of the cave, frightening him back inside.
On the side of the cave, there was a large depression. The airflow collided with the stone walls on both sides, forming a whirlwind through the depression, which explained the bizarre whirlwinds outside.
Besides the ceaseless strange whirlwinds, what Li Lin had just seen outside was a dense fog. It wasn't the bottom of the cliff, and he had no idea how much deeper it went.
"Am I going to be trapped here to die?" Li Lin thought despondently, stuck in this place with no way up or down, seemingly doomed to die trapped.
"What to do, this is a big problem," Li Lin thought upon returning to the cave, his expression turning grave. Trapped in this cave, he would starve to death.
The thought of being trapped in this forsaken place made Li Lin lose all inclination to cultivate, having narrowly escaped death only to wait for it here.
"Squeak, squeak..." A squeaking sound echoed through the cave.
"A rat." Li Lin was startled, looking around the cave to find a palm-sized rat boldly scampering around on the fire Yin monster's neck, licking the dried blood. Upon seeing Li Lin, it quickly fled in terror.
"How could there be a rat here? If it was sealed off, a rat couldn't get in. The ground is all stone; there must be a way out." Li Lin was overjoyed, quickly following the rat forward. In a corner crevice of the cave, the rat disappeared into a pile of soil.
"This is loose." Li Lin grabbed the soil, the only place in the cave with soil; the rest was solid rock. He hadn't noticed this spot before.
Feeling the soil was still moist and had a hint of vitality, Li Lin wouldn't miss this opportunity. He immediately took out the cyan long sword from the space bag and began to dig through the soil.
The disappearance of the rat indicated there was a passage beyond the soil.
Since the rat could get through and the soil was loose, digging was not difficult for Li Lin. Digging with the sword, he didn't care much, using his hands to remove the soil. In just a moment, a hole about half a meter wide and about a meter deep appeared in front of him, with a pile of dug-out soil on the ground.
Digging again with the sword, suddenly a sliver of light shone through the soil hole. Seeing this light, Li Lin's heart surged with excitement; this light meant there truly was a way out.
