I Can Gain One Skill Point Per Second

The night fell.

The full moon hung high.

The water refilling by the pond touched the pond wall, creating a crisp, hollow echo.

Which made the entire night even more tranquil.

Lin Yi, as he had hoped, was allocated a Japanese-style chamber closest to the Xiaolin Family's ancestral house by Xiaolin Zhengyu, who was delighted at heart.

Nangong Ling lay on the tatami mat, her pair of fair and smooth legs still bouncing cheerfully.

Clearly, for her,

Sleeping on the ground in such a room was quite an unusual experience.

Neither of them truly slept.

They were waiting for the appearance of their contact.

Indeed, just when the moon was at its zenith,

and the night wind carried a hint of coldness, a faint knocking suddenly sounded outside the door.

Soon after, an elderly voice rang out.

"Young Master Yichilang."

"The night is deep, drink this bowl of energy tonic and go to sleep."

Nangong Ling gave Lin Yi a look and nodded.

Then closed her eyes, pretending to be asleep.

Lin Yi got up and pushed open the wooden door.

He saw an old man kneeling outside, holding a steaming bowl of medicinal soup.

"His name is Kogai Kei, on the surface one of the Xiaolin Family's butler servants."

"But his real identity is one of our people, just call him Mr. He, he has been infiltrating the Xiaolin Family for 20 years."

"The news about Xiaolin Yicilang returning home this time was disclosed by Mr. He to us, otherwise, you'd miss this great opportunity."

Nangong Ling's voice echoed in Lin Yi's mind.

He glanced at Mr. He, who remained respectful and didn't reveal the slightest hint of suspicion.

Silently he sighed.

This is a true unsung hero.

The strength of Mr. He before him was not strong, only around 5 rotations, and his occupation was quite ordinary.

To have survived in the enemy country with such modest strength for over 20 years, he must have been very cautious.

Lin Yi took the medicinal soup handed over by Mr. He.

It was only then that Mr. He dared to lift his head, smilingly saying, "Young Master, please drink it while hot."

"If it cools, the medicinal potency will be wasted."

"I humbly take my leave for now."

Mr. He bowed once more to Lin Yi and left.

"This is the code."

"The entrance to the Descent Abyss dungeon is in the basement of the Xiaolin Family's ancestral house."

"But outside the ancestral house, there are experts stationed from Mainland Japan and the Xiaolin Family headquarters all year round."

"Luo Xiao told me."

"If what Mr. He brings over is hot soup, it means the plan has failed, and you'll need to find another opportunity to act."

"If it's medicinal soup, it means the plan has succeeded, and those experts guarding the ancestral house have had their alertness decreased by his special medicine."

"The reminder to drink it while hot means to act immediately and head there now."

"The duration of the medicine's effect lasts just about as long as it takes for the bowl of soup to cool."

Lin Yi nodded upon hearing this.

He put down the medicinal soup.

Quietly left the room.

On the way to the Xiaolin Family's ancestral house, there were corridors and intersecting rooms everywhere.

The population of the entire Xiaolin Family, by Lin Yi's rough estimate, could be in the hundreds.

However, these rooms were mostly dark.

Most people were in deep sleep.

Lin Yi faced no obstruction.

Such efficiency and decisiveness in Mr. He's actions were evident.

Turning a corner, his sight opened up.

A shrine building with a distinct East Japan style, with pillar beams and hanging corners, appeared before Lin Yi.

Simultaneously.

A dozen or so majestic-looking Xiaolin Family guards, with samurai swords hanging from their waists, were guarding the shrine.

Lin Yi was stunned.

He had imagined Mr. He would use special drugs or smoke to directly knock these men out.

But now, it seemed.

Things were different from what he thought.

Strangely enough, these guards were perfectly conscious.

But they were all like blind eyes, utterly unable to see him.

In Lin Yi's mind, Nangong Ling's voice echoed.

"Stop spacing out, quickly get inside!"

"The medicine Mr. He gave them temporarily lowered their spiritual power so I could use the Illusion Technique to hide your presence."

"These guards are strong and have undergone professional training; once the drug wears off, you'll be exposed!"

Lin Yi shivered upon hearing this.

Oh, that's how it is!

Yes, directly using Illusion Technique to erase his figure from the guards' sight.

It's indeed wiser than using smoke to make them collapse on the ground.

If the guards were unconscious,

anyone else seeing them would undoubtedly become vigilant.

Even sounding the alarm wasn't impossible.

Lin Yi tried not to make any noise.

Swiftly crossed several guards and arrived at the shrine entrance.

The shrine doors were tightly closed, but this couldn't stop Lin Yi.

A crack like thunder would be too noticeable.

Lightning and thunder would definitely expose.

Fortunately, Lin Yi had previously gotten Feng San's wool.

Using Curved Pathway Teleportation.

A region of spatial anomaly surrounded Lin Yi completely.

Because this time his target was only himself, involving limited scope and transfer of few people.

So shortly afterward.

Lin Yi had already crossed the door, transported behind it.

What appeared were countless spiritual tablets and statues placed in the main hall, but Lin Yi didn't bother looking.

Quickly discovering, indeed beside the statue wall, a staircase leading directly underground.

All the way down to the bottom of the staircase.

Before Lin Yi appeared a gigantic stone door, engraved with complex sigil symbols.

The unique aura of Descent Abyss kept spilling out from the stone door's crevice.

Lin Yi took out his White Night Horror Abyss Invitation from his personal space.

The palm touched the stone door.

However, the next moment, Lin Yi abruptly heard the sounds of countless mechanisms turning from the darkness.

Lin Yi's heart skipped.

Oh no, discovered?

But the next moment, nothing happened.

The entire underground space remained cold and deathly silent.

Only that stone door, upon contact with the aura emitted by Lin Yi's invitation,

The complex symbols on the stone door lit up one after another.

The demon head insignia indicating dungeon difficulty on the stone door above.

Also lit up two marks.

Then, the stone door slowly opened, a powerful aura of Descent Abyss blew out from behind the door, making Lin Yi feel a chill all over.

The next moment, Lin Yi felt a suction force emanating from behind the stone door, before he could take a single step, he was pulled into the dungeon.

...

Simultaneously.

The entire Xiaolin Family, the lights in all rooms, turned on.

Woof woof woof!!

The hunting dogs raised by the Xiaolin Family were all led out, starting a carpet search.

Before Lin Yi entered the dungeon, at the very moment the mechanism was triggered.

Xiaolin Zhengyu had received the news.

He arrived at the shrine entrance, seeing numerous servants and guards kneeling in guilt.

His fists clamped tightly, body shaking uncontrollably.

"Patriarch..."

"The dungeon stone door in the shrine's basement is open...!"

"Someone indeed went in just now!"

"We've searched all the rooms around the shrine but didn't find Young Master Yichilang and his concubine..."

A subordinate cautiously reported.

"Bastards---!!!"

Xiaolin Zhengyu roared angrily, eyes reddened!

He could never have imagined that the son he had high hopes for.

Turned out to be a Da Xia imposter!

Several days ago, he had received transmissions from the Mainland Japan's high command.

Saying Da Xia has a young genius who might need to access this dungeon to continue his Descent Abyss journey.

Urging them to be vigilant.

For this, Xiaolin Zhengyu guarded heavily, even setting traps at the dungeon entrance.

However, he never thought, daily vigilance, home thieves are hard to guard against!

The family not only had a mole.

That cunning Da Xia person even disguised himself as his second son, successfully entering the dungeon!
