Without any hesitation, the two of them went right through the waterfall.
With the spiritual energy barrier around them, the water of the waterfall didn't even touch the hem of their clothes as it was being kept out by the barrier.
When they walked through, they appeared inside of a simple cave that had a single tunnel leading deeper in.
As for how they didn't attract any attention, that was all because of Lin Fan's illusion spell.
He wasn't certain that it would work, which was why he had asked Mu Bao Bao to trust him, but it seemed like it worked fine since there was no sound coming from outside.
The illusion spell's weakness was that if anything touched what the illusion spell was cast on, it would break the illusion spell. So if they were to touch the waterfall while the illusion spell was active, it would reveal them and everyone outside would see them.
That was when Lin Fan came up with a different idea.
Instead of having the illusion around them, he decided to cast an illusion spell on the entire surrounding area.
So while they weren't hidden by the illusion spell when they walked through the waterfall, they were still protected from the sights of the watchers outside. All they saw was the waterfall flowing normally.
That was because Lin Fan created a perfect illusion around the waterfall that would maintain the image of the waterfall flowing without any sudden disruptions.
This took quite a bit of magic power, but he was able to maintain it without problem because…he had taken Mu Bao Bao's hand.
During his experimentation, he had found a way to transform spiritual energy into magic energy. So when he took Mu Bao Bao's hand, he had been using her spiritual energy to help him with this illusion spell.
It could even be said that without her help, he wouldn't have been able to form this illusion.
But with it, they were able to smoothly enter the waterfall.
Once they were in here, Lin Fan didn't let his guard down and placed another illusion spell around them just in case there were watchers here too. Also before they made their way through the waterfall, he had also placed an illusion spell in front of them with Mu Bao Bao's spiritual energy to make sure no one saw them coming through.
But in the end, all of that was unnecessary since there was no one here.
After Lin Fan looked around with his Appraisal Eyes, he found that there wasn't anyone here at all.
There weren't even any kind of arrays placed here to watch over the place.
There was just him and Mu Bao Bao standing in this place.
When he saw this, he let go of Mu Bao Bao's hand and released the large illusion spell around them. He still kept the minor illusion spell around their bodies with his own magic power just in case.
When he let go of her hand, Mu Bao Bao let out a small sigh of relief.
When he had been holding her hand, she had felt the draining sensation coming from it.
She could guess that he was using her spiritual energy for something, but she had full faith in him, so she hadn't said a thing and had just gone along with him.
However, even if she hadn't said anything, it had been hard for her.
The draining sensation that came from her contact with Lin Fan was quite strong. She could feel her own spiritual energy draining at a rate that was hard for her to keep up.
So she was relieved that it was all over.
Once he was certain that there was no one watching them, Lin Fan started going around the cave and started looking over every part of it.
He had only swept over everything with his Appraisal Eyes before this, so he hadn't actually seen what was in this cave.
But even after going through the entire cave, he found that there was nothing worth mentioning here. It seemed that this place was just a normal cave behind the waterfall, with nothing special at all.
The only thing left was to check out the tunnel that led further into the cave.
Lin Fan came over and saw that he wasn't able to see the end of the tunnel.
It wasn't because the tunnel itself was very long, but rather because the tunnel started leading down into the ground. It was a very sharp descent, so it didn't take long before Lin Fan couldn't see any further than a few meters in front of him.
But there were a set of stairs that accompanied this sharp descent, so it wasn't as if they had to slide down underground.
These stairs were clearly man made objects.
Whoever created this place had clearly put quite a bit of effort into the stairs as well as he could see that they were finely carved. These were clearly made with care, so they weren't something that could be formed naturally.
But why would the person who made this place put so much effort into just the stairs?
This seemed like a large waste of time and effort to Lin Fan no matter how he looked at it.
Still, it wasn't as if he would be able to answer this question just by staring at these stairs. So with one final look, he turned his attention to the bottom of the stairs and started heading down slowly.
While heading down, Lin Fan made sure to look all around himself with his Appraisal Eyes, just in case there were any traps. But he wasn't able to find a single thing even with his head on a swivel like this.
During this time, Mu Bao Bao carefully followed behind Lin Fan with the same level of vigilance.
When they reached the bottom, they were surprised to find that there wasn't a long corridor waiting for them like they had expected. Instead, all that was there was a room that was lit with torches.
But what surprised them the most about this place wasn't the room itself, rather it was what was at the end of the room that surprised them the most.
At the end of the room was a door that was finely decorated and was firmly shut.
Compared to the stairs, this door was considered much more luxurious. Compared to this door, the stairs didn't seem like they took any time to make.
But why would there be such a luxurious door at the end of the stairs like this?
Lin Fan narrowed his eyes to look at the door, but no matter how he looked at it, he wasn't able to get any information from his Appraisal Eyes. Even when he looked at the area around the door, he wasn't able to find a single thing.
It seemed like there was no array blocking him from using his Appraisal Eyes, so why couldn't he get any information at all?
This door seemed special enough that it should give him some kind of information when he used his Appraisal Eyes.
The fact that it gave him no information at all seemed even more strange.
Mu Bao Bao also had her eyes on the door, but she had a different expression compared to Lin Fan. It was almost as if she recognized something from this door.
Lin Fan didn't get caught up in this door for long as he started looking around them.
While the walls of this place weren't as luxurious as the door, they were still much better than the stairs. That was if it wasn't for the signs of damage that were on them.
It was clear that there had been some kind of struggle here, or at least some kind of show of force that caused these marks.
If Lin Fan had to guess what this was, it was most likely the marks left by the others that had come before them. It was very likely that they hadn't been able to open the door, so in their frustration, they had turned to violence to force the door open.
But judging by the fact that there were no marks on the door and that there were people watching outside, they shouldn't have been able to break through with force.
As soon as Lin Fan had seen this door, he had already guessed that it was locked and there was no way for them to open it.
So he didn't even bother trying to push it open and wanted to see if he could find any information from this place.
Based on the design of the door, he could guess that something had to be inserted into the door to make it open. Based on the hole that was in the center of the door, it was very likely that it was some kind of token that had to be inserted.
However, they clearly didn't have this token.
Lin Fan turned to look at Mu Bao Bao and was about to say something, but seeing the look on her face, he couldn't help asking, "Did you notice something?"
Mu Bao Bao didn't react at first, but then she slowly nodded before shaking her head again.
Lin Fan was confused by this answer, but he waited for her to explain.
After a while, Mu Bao Bao said, "It's complicated…"
Lin Fan nodded before saying, "Alright, let's talk once we get out of here."
Mu Bao Bao nodded in agreement to this before turning around to leave.
Lin Fan didn't mind and just followed behind her as they went up the stairs again.
