The next morning Jayde continued on her way to the small cave, collecting more herbs along the way. With her new body modifications and the upgrading of her magical skills, Jayde had no problems with the spirit beasts that she ran into along the way, dispatching them easily.
With her continuous battles during the day and her cultivating of qi in the evenings, Jayde quickly advanced in rank again. Impatient to reach the small cave system, Jayde didn't waste time trading but immediately left the Pavilion once she had advanced to rank three, and carried on with her journey to the small cave.
Making good time, Jayde made it to the area where the small cave was located with ten days.
Scouting around the area, Jayde saw no signs of any people nearby, but what she did find is that area seemed eerily quiet. There were no signs of any creatures, even the insects were quiet.
Feeling uneasy about this abnormal situation, Jayde expanded her magical senses and tried to sense anything unusual around her, but no matter how far she sent out her magical senses, she found nothing unusual.
Finally, Jayde decided to enter the small cave, pulling out a glow stone, she strolled up to the ward, her hands flowed gracefully as she outlined the glyphs needed to unlocked the ward.
Wards could be set up either by using ward stones, which one just needed to remove one the of ward stones to unlock or by tieing the ward to a specific location, with the key to unlocking the ward being tied to a specific item, like the ward to the entrance to her cave.
The most formidable ward was one which was tied to runes, only but following the exact pattern to unlock the ward could one open such a ward, these wards often had curses written into the ward, so the penalty for failing to unlock the ward would be severe.
Jayde unlocked the ward to the small cave by following the old man's complicated glyphs that he had written in his diary, once she opened the ward, she entered the small cave.
The first thing that Jayde noticed upon entering the cave, was the intense heat, within moments Jayde was covered in sweat. Looking around Jayde noticed that the cave walls, floors, and ceiling were unusually smooth — it looked like the stone had been polished.
According to the notes she had read, the small cave system, was made up of interconnecting rooms, in front of her, Jayde could see a small opening in the cave wall, Jayde proceeded through the opening, the new room she entered was larger than the entrance room, there were glow stones embedded into the cave walls, lighting up the room, and on the opposite side to the entrance into the room, was another half moon doorway.
In the corner of the room was a large worn furnace, covered in dust. You could see that it hadn't be used for a long. A desk covered with scrolls was alongside the furnace.
Opening up some of the scrolls, Jayde noticed that most of them contained detailed guides on how to smelt different ores, as well as instructions to mix different ores to create metals to craft weapons.
Looking at the remaining scrolls, Jayde found detailed drawings of different types of weapons. "The cave must have been inhabited by a weaponsmith," Jayde thought to herself.
Storing the scrolls in her storage ring, Jayde wandered around the room, she found the pile of metal ores that the old man had written about. There was quite a variety of ores, some common, but most were rare ores that were difficult to locate in the Lower Realm.
Seeing a small pile of black ores that glittered with gold specks, Jayde contacted Isha to confirm if this was dwarven dark gold.
"Yes that it!" Isha confirmed excitedly.
Jayde was thrilled to have the final item needed for the potion needed to upgrade her dantian to the bronze stage. She had expected that it would have taken her much longer to gather all the items needed, and was pleasantly surprised that she had managed to gather them so quickly.
It felt like that finally luck was on her side, and giving her a helping hand.
After collecting everything valuable in the room, Jayde decided to hunt for the treasure that the old man sensed. Exiting the room through half-moon doorway, Jayde found herself in a long passage, following the passage for about ten minutes Jayde came upon another half-moon doorway.
Entering the small room, Jayde could sense a small fluctuation in the aura in the surrounding air. Looking around Jayde could see nothing out of the ordinary in the room, except for some stones scattered on the floor the room was empty.
Deciding to call it a day, as night was approaching and to top that off she had been busy all day, in the blistering heat of the cave — Jayde was tired and hungry — while the heat wasn't debilitating to Jayde as her fire abilities protected her from most of the heat, it nevertheless was draining
Jayde setup a small camp with the room, just to be safe, she set up her stone ward for protection, while impatient to find the treasure, Isha had warned her that most treasures were guarded by guardian spirits, not wanting to confront this creature while tired, she determined it would best to rest up for the night and continue her treasure hunting the next day.
Making a campfire, Jayde made herself a tasty dinner, then after cultivating for a couple of hours she retired for the evening.
