Chapter 1870 - 1871: Gathering Spirit Stone
Why is there Spiritual Energy in the Li Gate passage?
It’s precisely from this flower world that’s spreading out!
So, as Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao walked along the way, they felt the Spiritual Energy growing increasingly dense. By the time they reached this place, the Spiritual Energy was virtually filling every corner of the flower world!
What does this mean?
It’s almost equivalent to that world in Ye Xuan’s dreams!
No strange phenomenon can occur out of nowhere. With such an extravagant abundance of Spiritual Energy here, you don’t have to think too much to conclude that there’s bound to be some earth-shattering treasure stored here.
Moreover, this treasure might far exceed Ye Xuan’s imagination, and there’s a high chance it will once again shatter Ye Xuan’s worldview.
That treasure, which can gather Spiritual Energy here and make the flowers and grass grow so lushly, how can it be ordinary?
But... the flower world covers thousands of square meters. Finding a treasure hidden within is no easy task?
Ye Xuan couldn’t help but look at Lou Yaoyao.
Admittedly, coming from the Mortal World, Ye Xuan’s knowledge in many areas is far inferior to Lou Yaoyao’s. Just like the current treasure hunt, it’s Ye Xuan’s first time facing it, but Lou Yaoyao is clearly a seasoned pro.
"Hee-hee, little brother, how do you know I can help you find the treasure?" Sensing Ye Xuan’s gaze, Lou Yaoyao giggled playfully.
Ye Xuan said speechlessly: "Since you can find the treasure, why are you dawdling here?"
"There’s no one around to fight you for it, so why rush?" Lou Yaoyao said playfully, "In such beautiful scenery, you haven’t even taken a photo with me for memories yet!"
Ye Xuan was speechless and quickly took out his phone to take a few photos with Lou Yaoyao on the spot.
Ye Xuan spread his hands and said: "Is it okay now?"
"Hmm... it’s missing something." Lou Yaoyao rested her chin on Ye Xuan’s shoulder, her beautiful eyes twinkling: "Call me sweetie, gently."
Ye Xuan: "Sweetie."
Lou Yaoyao: "Not gentle enough."
Ye Xuan showed a gentle smile: "Sweetie, won’t you stop messing around? Considering I just saved your life, can’t you quickly find the treasure?"
This trip to the Northwest, Ye Xuan was completely at Lou Yaoyao’s mercy.
Earlier, to obtain the Sky Mountain Blood Lotus, Ye Xuan had to make compromises. Now that he’s here, he naturally wants to try for the treasure. Thus, he has to compromise his dignity as a man again.
Lou Yaoyao, I can’t mess with you a hundred times in reality, but I can mess with you a thousand times in my heart, a thousand times!!
Ye Xuan was already like this.
The beautiful, pure, and dazzling Lou Yaoyao was still unsatisfied: "It’s still missing something. Hmm... little brother, give me a kiss, on the lips, and I’ll obediently find the treasure for you!"
Ye Xuan exploded in anger: "Lou Yaoyao!"
Lou Yaoyao: "What’s wrong?"
Ye Xuan’s face was grim and sinister: "I... I’m not for sale!"
Lou Yaoyao: "..."
The atmosphere suddenly became a bit inexplicably strange.
For a long time.
Seeing that Ye Xuan had no intention of yielding, Lou Yaoyao sighed helplessly: "Not even one kiss for me, you stingy guy!"
While lamenting, Lou Yaoyao took out a small gadget similar to a watch dial from her pocket and handed it to Ye Xuan: "Here, use this."
Ye Xuan was stunned: "What’s this?"
Lou Yaoyao pouted: "A compass."
Ye Xuan: "A compass?!"
"Little brother, you don’t get it, do you?"
Lou Yaoyao laughed: "Treasures like the one we’re looking for now are often energy bodies or objects with the effect of absorbing energy. Such treasures have their own special magnetic fields.
If the distance is far, the compass is useless, but if it’s close, the treasure’s magnetic field will cause an effect, making the compass malfunction. Thus, the direction the compass points to will be where the treasure is located."
Ye Xuan was bewildered for a while before he finally understood the logic Lou Yaoyao explained.
Ye Xuan was dumbfounded: "You carry a compass with you all the time?"
Lou Yaoyao said: "Going treasure hunting, a compass is a must-have tool, isn’t it? Little brother, you’re still immature in this aspect, aren’t you?"
Ye Xuan rolled his eyes, wishing he had brought a compass too, so he wouldn’t be at Lou Yaoyao’s mercy.
He sighed silently.
Ye Xuan stopped dawdling, took the compass, and started treasure hunting.
As Lou Yaoyao said, as soon as the compass was turned on, the magnetic needle inside the compass began to shake wildly. After trembling for a long time, it slowly steadied itself.
And the direction the needle pointed was right in front of them.
"The treasure is ahead!" Lou Yaoyao exclaimed.
Ye Xuan hurriedly took steps forward.
After about tens of meters, Ye Xuan stopped again.
Because the needle in the compass started to shake wildly again, as if it suddenly lost direction and couldn’t stop.
"The treasure is nearby!" Lou Yaoyao reminded.
Ye Xuan furrowed his brows, scanning the surroundings, not sparing a single flower or grass.
Suddenly.
In a cluster of especially lush flowers and plants, Ye Xuan spotted a faint glow.
That glow was like the light emitted by a daylight lamp, yet much dimmer than lamp light. Strangely, though dimmer than lamp light, it somehow felt more glaring.
At the same time, Ye Xuan noticed that the location of the glow was also where the Spiritual Energy in the flower world was the densest.
The flowers and plants nearby were also the most flourishing!
Ye Xuan swiftly moved forward, pushed aside the flowers and grasses covering the glow, and then a thumb-sized stone emitting a faint white glow came into the view of Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao.
"This..."
Ye Xuan was once again stunned. The treasure that almost created a new world was... just a thumb-sized pebble?
Admittedly, this pebble was milky white, like a piece of top-quality mutton-fat jade, clearly not an ordinary object, but this was just ridiculous!
The effect it caused far exceeded its appearance!
When Lou Yaoyao saw this pebble, her expression turned spectacular: "Just as I thought, it’s a Gathering Spirit Stone! Little brother, you’ve struck gold!"
"Gathering Spirit Stone?" Ye Xuan was puzzled: "What’s a Gathering Spirit Stone?"
"It’s..." Lou Yaoyao was about to explain.
But at this moment.
From the Li Gate passage, a burst of wild laughter suddenly echoed: "Hahaha, a Gathering Spirit Stone! I never expected such a Gathering Spirit Stone to reside in these Ancient Tomb Ruins. Truly, heaven does not forsake me, heaven does not forsake our Cang Family!"
Upon hearing this laughter, Ye Xuan and Lou Yaoyao’s expressions changed.
They turned sharply to see a middle-aged man in a brocade robe already rushing in from the Li Gate passage. The aura emanating from him was several times stronger than Qiao Family’s Qiao Tianzhao.
This was an expert, undoubtedly an expert!
And clearly, he was not affected by the poison gas in the Li Gate passage, virtually bringing his peak strength to this place!
