Does Skull Cavern save every 5 levels?

What happens when you get to level 100 in Skull Cavern?

Reaching Skull Cavern Level 100 triggers a special event with Mr. Qi (if you have Secret Note #10), where he rewards you with Iridium Snake Milk for a permanent health boost, with slightly different dialogue if you used over 10 Staircases. This unlocks deeper exploration, offering more Iridium, but Level 100 itself is primarily for this reward and a guaranteed treasure chest, with deeper levels containing tougher monsters and better loot.
