Chapter 1314 - 1310: There’s Actually Treasure Here
Ginsengfruit returned the Compass to his pocket and looked up at the stone wall before him, searching for the best spot to strike.
At the moment he raised his hand, a fierce Wind Blade appeared out of nowhere, flying directly towards Ginsengfruit’s neck.
’Clang~’ A metallic collision sound rang out.
Most people simply couldn’t block the Wind Blade, but Ginsengfruit handled it easily, not even letting it touch the hem of his clothes.
Before seeing these Wind Blades with his own eyes, Ginsengfruit was puzzled as to why Mo Zhi, being a Ghost Cultivator, was trapped here.
Now he understood; these Wind Blades clearly contained a special energy that naturally restrained the Yin Attribute.
Ghost Cultivators also fall under the Yin Attribute range.
The sound of countless metallic collisions echoed repeatedly, and those unaware might assume a fierce battle was happening here.
Ginsengfruit blocked the Wind Blades attacking him with one hand, while skillfully casting several talisman papers with the other.
’Boom’ After several explosions, those Wind Blades were scattered and lost their intensity.
This outcome pleased Ginsengfruit greatly: "It seems these mass-produced talisman papers are quite powerful. Once I return, I can increase their quantity."
As the Grand Steward of Qingfeng Temple, selling talisman papers is a vital part of their income to support so many people.
If they solely relied on Yun Ran’s private funds, Qingfeng Temple would eventually fade away.
The first wave of Wind Blade attacks passed, yet Ginsengfruit remained on guard, pulling out several High-level Talisman papers again.
After choosing the right spot, Ginsengfruit quickly placed High-level Explosive Talismans at specified locations.
Then, he adhered several Defense Talismans to himself.
Ginsengfruit snapped his fingers, and those High-level Talisman Papers on the stone wall seemed to receive a command.
At that moment, they activated simultaneously.
"Boom!"
The explosion was accompanied by an earth-shattering tremor, startling even Yun Ran deep within the cave.
Yet she merely tilted her head to listen briefly to the direction of the sound, and then continued immersing herself in her tasks.
As for Er Dan, upon hearing the commotion, he twitched an eyelid, smacked his lips, changed position, and continued sleeping.
Clearly, he didn’t consider this explosion a big deal.
Despite being close, Ginsengfruit wasn’t affected by the shockwave of the explosion due to the Defense Talisman Paper on him.
The rising dust only slightly impaired his vision.
Once the dust settled, the originally spacious cave entrance now appeared like a double door, more than twice its original size.
"Huh, what’s that?"
Ginsengfruit didn’t remove the Defense Talisman Paper from himself.
As he moved, the small dust particles in the air were brushed aside as if they met a natural enemy.
Standing amidst the rubble, Ginsengfruit clearly saw that behind the original stone wall was a cavity over a meter high.
Unfortunately, the High-level Explosive Talismans were indeed powerful, directly destroying the cavity, making it hard to identify.
Amidst the rubble lay several bones, already turned to jade, hinting at a sizeable creature.
Ginsengfruit’s eyes flashed with fluorescence, the glow emitted during his scanning.
The good news was that these bones weren’t human.
The bad news was that his database had no records of such bones, suggesting they might belong to an unknown, extinct Life.
"Could those Wind Blades have originated from these bones?"
Though puzzled, Ginsengfruit bent down to carefully gather the bones from the rubble, preparing to let Yun Ran examine them later.
As for whether the explosion from the talismans attracted the attention of other Lives to this area, Ginsengfruit wasn’t concerned at all.
Upon arrival, he had already scanned the vicinity, noting it was not only sparsely populated.
More importantly, this area seemed to have a natural maze, making it difficult for anyone to locate accurately unless their strength reached a certain level.
As Ginsengfruit anticipated, even the nearest villagers refrained from checking out the commotion.
This was far removed from the future world, where most places were safe.
Anywhere a minor incident occurred, plenty would flock, either for the spectacle or to live-stream it eagerly with their phones.
In the world from a millennium ago, nightly dangers were immense, prompting villagers to avoid wandering even in daylight, let alone at night.
With a potential threat eliminated, Ginsengfruit proceeded to use the Compass to investigate further.
It was uncertain how long the Host would remain here, but all troubles and dangers needed to be eradicated.
Assisted by the electric serpents entwined around him, the Compass functioned like a precise instrument, quickly locating a second site.
Ginsengfruit looked at the solid ground beneath his feet, his expression showing little surprise.
This site was chosen by the first City Lord of Moonlight City, a location vital for the city’s persistent prominence within Xuan Sect.
Suggesting it was merely a favorable geographical position was something Ginsengfruit absolutely couldn’t believe.
Having confirmed the issue with the ground here, a rare difficult expression appeared on Ginsengfruit’s face.
The stone wall he blew apart, but the underground situation was evidently complex. The best solution would be to use a digger to excavate it.
"If Dragon Spirit were here, his claws could effortlessly break through this ground," he thought.
Though hoping for that, Ginsengfruit knew it was unrealistic and resignedly took out the tools to chisel the stone.
The stone that appeared incredibly stiff and hard to dig broke instantly with slight effort from Ginsengfruit, forming a large pit.
As Ginsengfruit prepared to dig again, a chilling aura emerged from below, rushing straight to his forehead.
Particularly since this aura contained a trace of gentle Power of Purification, Ginsengfruit felt comforted rather than uneasy.
"This place truly holds treasure~" he surmised.
Ginsengfruit then dug more vigorously, swinging his tool-arm like a tireless machine.
Minutes later, Ginsengfruit discovered another pile of bones already turned to jade.
