If a strange light appeared on the ground, there would definitely be a treasure appearing.

Such a situation was recorded in many ancient books. For example, in the Legend of Zhang Hua, it was recorded that when one entered the Jin Dynasty, Zhang Hua saw that there was purple qi between the Dou and Niu stars, and later dug up the Dragon Spring and Tai'e swords in Fengcheng Prison. The purple gas mentioned in the book was a type of treasure light.

This kind of treasure isn't something valuable like antiques or gold or silver that we normally talk about. It was a type of item that contained extremely dense Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth s. Because they could not restrain their energy, they could not help but emit their radiance according to the nature of the spirit energy.

In the eyes of the people, some of them might sell for a high price, but some of them were not worth a single cent. But in the hands of a monk like Lin Jin, it was a priceless treasure. If it was used properly, it could be used to refine a weapon or to enhance one's own ability.

This kind of treasure also had the difference between a innate spiritual treasure and a Lesser Heaven stage spiritual treasure. innate spiritual treasure were formed from the accumulation of spirit energy between heaven and earth after a long period of time. Postnatal spiritual treasure, like Mo Xie, were formed by injecting a large amount of them into the ground as they were being forged.

According to Lin Jin's judgement, if there really was a treasure, then the one who released the red light must be a naturally formed innate spiritual treasure. He just didn't know what it was.

But he felt that something strange, as soon as they entered the vicinity of Black Soil, the red light that enveloped the entire capsicum disappeared without a trace, and only the bright starlight remained in the sky. At the same time, he also felt the heat drilling into his body.

Could it be that this red light was the opposite of the nature of the heat and could only be seen from the outside?

Thinking about that, Lin Jin immediately left the capsicum's area of effect. However, after he left, the red light still did not appear. Looking at the ground, what entered his sight was only pitch black.

What was going on? Lin Jin could not help but feel a sense of doubt.

He knew that the red light he saw earlier was definitely not an illusion, nor could it be an illusion. Then, why did the red light suddenly disappear?

As he stood at the edge of the capsicum, puzzled over something, he suddenly saw from the corner of his eyes that there was a red light flashing somewhere in the ground, which then disappeared.

A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Jin's mind as he thought of a possibility. The treasure has a spirit, could it be that the innate spiritual treasure formed in this piece of land restrained its treasure light when it saw me coming?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that the possibility of it happening was greater. Quietly, Lin Jin retreated backwards and hid behind a rock to observe. However, after waiting for a long time, he didn't find anything strange. The land was still the same place and the person was still the same person. Just as he was about to give up, he suddenly saw the sky above capsicum emit a red light.

Lin Jin was overjoyed. He no longer looked at the red light in the air and started to carefully observe the ground of capsicum. Vaguely, he saw a small red dot moving among the capsicum, without any pattern. Obviously, that red dot was the innate spiritual treasure that was hiding in this field.

Lin Jin locked onto it with his gaze, bent over, and gently walked towards it.

However, innate spiritual treasure was not like animals, who only used their sense of smell and vision to sense the external situation.

Upon coming into contact with the majestic zhenqi on his body, it immediately returned the red light back into its body like a frightened turtle. felt helpless, he could only retreat and wait for it to appear again.

It wasn't that he hadn't thought of using the most direct method to find this piece of innate spiritual treasure in the capsicum, but this capsicum took up an area of an acre. Moreover, that thing would still act on its own. If it was too frightened and hid underground and didn't come out, it would be troublesome. He couldn't possibly dig three feet into the ground to dig it out, right?

This was the first time Lin Jin lost track of the red dot after approaching the capsicum. He didn't even know what it looked like and couldn't help but feel anxious.

This time, when the red dot appeared, in order to clearly see its appearance, Lin Jin directly aimed at the red dot with his flashlight when he was close to the capsicum, and pressed the switch.

The light from the flashlight enveloped the red dot.

However, he did not expect that under this sudden burst of light, his pupils would contract, and he could only feel a sharp pain before him, causing him to be unable to see clearly.

He thought that his plan had failed again, but when he recovered his vision, he saw a red stone glowing with a faint red light within the area pointed out by the white light.

It turned out that the intense light was also a type of energy of the world. It was just that the energy it contained was chaotic and was completely different from the energy that the spiritual treasure in the world contained.

The innate spiritual treasure was suddenly illuminated by the light of the flashlight, and the energy instantly mixed up its spirit energy, causing it to lose the ability to escape.

Lin Jin did not know how much it had lost, upon seeing it stop moving, he knew that this was a rare opportunity. He did not know how many capsicum he had knocked down and rushed forward to grab it.

Holding it in his hand, he saw that the innate spiritual treasure was a thumb-sized, oval-shaped, semi-transparent jade. Holding it in his hand, he could feel a slight burning sensation.

Just as he was about to put it back into his bag, the innate spiritual treasure suddenly started trembling violently, as if it wanted to escape from his hands. Lin Jin's heart was anxious, he immediately increased the power in his hands.

However, as the power in his hands increased, the trembling strength of the innate spiritual treasure increased …

How could Lin Jin let it slip away after getting its hands on it? Gritting his teeth, Lin Jin activated the zhenqi in his body and fought against it with all his might.

But this innate spiritual treasure had absorbed this energy for who knows how many years, how could someone like him, who had just formed a endosperm, resist it?

"Ah …" Following wave after wave of tremors, Lin Jin was horrified to discover that a crack had actually appeared on his finger due to its power.

"Pu ~" With a light sound, it slipped out of Lin Jin's hands and bounced on the ground.

Being carried by its huge force, Lin Jin's body could not help but leap forward and the ground in front of him.

With the loss of the innate spiritual treasure, Lin Jin's mind went blank. He saw that after the red light landed on the ground, it actually hit a hard rock and bounced back in the air, coincidentally shooting towards the spot in front of Lin Jin's mouth.

Lin Jin didn't even think as he opened his mouth and bit it. Before he could rejoice, he heard a light "bo" sound coming from his mouth, followed by the feeling of a hot stream of air rushing out from between his teeth, reaching his limbs and bones.

Before he could even react to what had happened, he felt a "boom" sound in his head and fainted in midair, falling heavily on top of a capsicum in front of him.
