Gazing intently at the last line of characters on the stone tablet, Lin Chen's eyes sparkled with realization. In the next moment, he reached out to remove the weeds at the base of the stone tablet, digging a little into the soil, uncovering more of the stone tablet and revealing several more lines of text.
"So it is indeed like this..."
Lin Chen's mouth twitched slightly. It was just a moment of inspiration that made him recall a novel he read in his past life, where a senior master buried his true Cultivation Technique beneath his own remains, leaving only a Secret Technique Manual casually placed in the treasure vault of the cave mansion.
This was done to see if those who entered the cave later would truly respect him as a master. If they wanted to become his disciple, they would naturally bow their heads in respect upon seeing his remains, and in doing so, they would sense the true secret manual buried in the ground.
This was a test of the disciple's character.
