C189 thatched hut

Wen Ya was truly worthy of being a woman in charge of an auction, she had a hand in identifying medicinal ingredients.

Over five hundred years' worth of medicinal ingredients were all stored in the Profound Ice Jade Box. Fortunately, he had already prepared enough Profound Ice Jade Boxes before entering the Ancient Ruins.

Although Wen Ya still felt heartache over the remaining medicinal ingredients, although they were not as effective as Qin Shaojie had said, they were still priceless in the outside world. However, Wen Ya was not a greedy person, she knew that Qin Shaojie would never hurt her, so she hid the sense of regret in her heart, and looked towards the thatched cottage that Qin Shaojie had pointed to.

The thatched cottage was about three hundred meters away. It wasn't very big, and it appeared all by itself in this distant place. It looked quite ordinary …

If it were anyone else, they would have ignored it. To others, it would seem that the person assigned to take care of the medicinal garden was just standing guard here. However, Qin Shaojie was clear that if it was said that there was an existence within this mansion that caused even his heart to palpitate, then this thatched cottage in front of him was probably one of them.

These medicinal herbs were rare even in the ancient times. They were quite precious. Moreover, how could Qin Shaojie not tell that entering this medicine garden was a rather dangerous matter, and perhaps even under the Earth Origin Stage back then, he wouldn't be allowed to appear within this medicine garden. Even though there were stone lions and corridors outside, a thatched cottage was still built here. It was enough to see how much they valued this medicinal garden. The most important thing was that the strength of the people who were able to appear here was in their Earth Origin Stage, or even stronger. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to enter and leave freely.

There were only two possibilities for such an expert to guard the medicine garden. One was that there were unique medicines in the medicine garden, and even if there was a barrier outside, it wouldn't be enough to make the owner feel at ease. The other was that the most important person in the house lived here personally.

However, according to Qin Shaojie's guess, the second method had more possibilities.

The two of them carefully walked towards the thatched hut. Along the way, there wasn't anything special about them, and the surroundings were already fairly quiet. However, the closer they got to the thatched hut, the more Qin Shaojie noticed that the flowers and plants on the ground were a little abnormal. This abnormality was like the plants had a consciousness and intelligence, not just Qin Shaojie felt it himself, even Wen Ya felt it.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. These flowers and plants were only a few centimeters long. Even though this place had been sealed for so many years, there were still no signs of growth. This was rather strange. Looking at them closely, these flowers and plants were not rare treasures, but ordinary flowers and plants from the outside world.

However, as he quietly released his divine sense, Qin Shaojie's expression also greatly changed, because he was 100% certain that these flowers and plants were truly intelligent. It was a pity that these spirits only landed on the flowers and grass. If they landed on the stone lions outside, it would be even more difficult to enter this place.

These plants could not be cultivated. The core reason that could cause such a situation was probably because there were truly shocking treasures here. The natural essence that this treasure gave birth to was even able to grow flowers and plants, and could also give birth to Spiritual Sense. If it was used rationally, it would be an extraordinary existence.

When he thought of this, even Qin Shaojie's breathing became hurried.

After suppressing the fluctuations in their hearts, the two directly entered the thatched hut. There definitely weren't any living people inside. Otherwise, if they were to continue plucking the items inside, it would have caused the living person to become furious. Of course, counting the time that had passed, to be able to survive in the ancient ruins for tens of millions of years was something that was almost impossible. After all, if there really was such a powerhouse, his strength would only be terrifyingly strong.

"There's nothing here?"

After entering the thatched cottage, Wen Ya immediately gathered the profound energy within her body and quietly observed her surroundings. But when she looked around, the entire thatched cottage was completely empty, there weren't even the necessary tables and chairs. Other than the structure of the house, it was empty.

Qin Shaojie was also aware of this situation, and after carefully examining it, he found that it was indeed as Wen Ya had said. In this thatched hut, besides the dried up grass on top of his head and the surrounding fences, all that was left were the soil under his feet.

"No, look at this soil. It's completely different from other places!"

However, Qin Shaojie shook his head. From the moment he entered the thatched hut, he felt that there was something different about his feet. However, when he moved his feet, the mud would not stick to his shoes. It was most likely sand. But if you looked closely, this was clearly the same soil as the outside world.

Most importantly, the temperature of the soil seemed to be much lower than that of the outside world. This kind of feeling was akin to warm jade.

In such a strange situation, if one were to say that there was nothing special about it, even Qin Shaojie himself would not believe it.

"It should be beneath this soil."

The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, and the profound energy in Qin Shaojie's hands fluctuated nonstop as well. Then, a strong energy directly swept away the soil under his feet. But this sudden thickness was much deeper than Qin Shaojie had imagined, and seeing that, Wen Ya also joined in.

The two Three Spiritual Realm Warriors s were digging non-stop in the area. If anyone else saw this, they would probably laugh at them. However, the more the two of them dug, the more excited expressions appeared on their faces. This was because they could clearly feel that the temperature below them was a little lower.

At the end, there was even a bit of cold air. This kind of cold air didn't have a bone-piercing feel, but was instead a bit soft. This kind of cold energy could preserve all kinds of auras or life force, and minimize any damage to it. The main reason for the formation was that there was a trace of spiritual energy within the warm air. This spiritual energy was very strange, causing one to not know what it was. However, it was something that people liked to get close to.

This situation also seemed to be telling Qin Shaojie that his guess from before was right. The reason why the flowers and plants outside had such a situation was because of the unending flow of spiritual qi.

These Spirit Qi were absorbed by their roots, and finally became the Spirit that Qin Shaojie had mentioned.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Finally, after a few minutes, the two of them had dug out a cave that was approximately ten feet deep. Both of their bodies were inside the cave, so it was impossible to see the top of their heads. However, sometimes when he tried to use his profound energy to dig deeper, Qin Shaojie would stop because he felt that his profound energy seemed to have come into contact with something strong.

He had been extremely careful during the entire journey, afraid that he would accidentally overuse his strength to destroy the treasure that might have existed in the general. Adding on to the fact that the soil was quite soft, he didn't encounter anything solid during this process. His appearance at this moment made his eyebrows twitch. He immediately looked at his own feet.

Hu hu hu hu!

In the end, he exhaled a few breaths and blew away the surrounding soil and earth. A palm-sized, black and white object that seemed to be made of ice appeared in front of Wen Ya and Qin Shaojie's eyes. Seeing this, the two of them were delighted. There was indeed a treasure underground.

When he placed his hand on this hard object, a refreshing feeling swept through him. This feeling of coolness also caused their nerves to loosen up a bit. All the muscles in their bodies relaxed. After that, he couldn't help but take a few deep breaths, causing everyone to feel calm.

Just this touch alone was enough to calm one's mind. If those people with Qi deviation were to meditate on it, it was likely that they would be able to have a very good effect on eliminating the evil qi in her body.

When they hurriedly tried to wipe off the surrounding soil, the two of them realized that the size of this thing was somewhat large. Previously, it appeared to be only the size of a palm.

"Continue digging. No matter what, we must bring this thing away. From the looks of the situation, this fellow is likely much more valuable than the medicinal ingredients in the outside world."

Qin Shaojie's standards were extremely high, and even the medicinal ingredients in the outside world were not worth much to him, but he was still extremely interested in this thing beneath his feet, which was enough to show just how powerful it was.

Hm!

Regarding this, Wen Ya did not hesitate at all. Although there were a lot of treasures in the ancient ruins, she could tell that Qin Shaojie truly had set his sights on a lot of things. To be able to spend so much effort on it, could only mean one thing.

And at this time, Qin Shaojie and Wen Ya were no longer paying attention to the consumption of their profound energy, and were wildly sweeping away the surrounding dirt. The two of them were both Three Spiritual Realm Warriors, so this soil was just wasting time. In reality, it was not difficult for the two of them.

Another half an hour had passed, and Qin Shaojie and Yue Shan finally revealed this hard object.

This was a ten feet long, five feet wide, and ten feet deep solid. It looked as clean as ice and there was not a single piece of debris on it. It constantly flickered with a gentle light and gave off a refreshing feeling of vitality.

With just a glance, Wen Ya quite liked this thing!

"There's a letter?!"

However, right behind this hard object, Qin Shaojie discovered a letter.
