The handwriting is different, seemingly from several different people.
At the top, it boldly states: "I am the first master of this Cave Mansion, known by my Dharma name Qingpin. As I sit here in meditation for the last time, reflecting on my life, it truly has been as impoverished as my name suggests. Even after dedicating my entire life, I could not achieve Foundation Establishment. It is a loss, a regret."
The second line reads: "Damn, Brother Qingpin, your Dharma name was the problem. If you had been called 'Wealthy Daoist,' perhaps you would have achieved Foundation Establishment by now."
The third line's handwriting is similar to the second, probably from the same person, but the tone is entirely different.
"In my old age, I exhausted my entire fortune to purchase a Middle Grade Foundation Establishment Pill from the Medicine King Valley. Life or death, it all hinges on this one try..."
Whether this elder succeeded or not... Ji Yuan looked further down.
