The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 2804 Discovering Danger

Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing looked at the copper ring in Qian Ying's hand and wanted to take it for themselves, but unfortunately, as the leader of this expedition, Qian Ying naturally had the first choice. Especially when they just discovered the jade skull, neither of them noticed the copper ring on its finger, so they could only sigh in their hearts, feeling jealous but helpless.

After Qian Ying put the copper ring in his hand into his arms, he looked at the jade skeleton in front of him and found that there was nothing special about it, except for the clothes on the skeleton that had turned into cloth strips, and the stone platform under the skeleton.

However, this stone bed did not look special. It was the same color as the surrounding rocks, gray-black, and there was no feeling when you touched it. Therefore, Qian Ying concluded that this stone bed was just an ordinary piece of rock.

There was nothing else in the room except the skull. There was not even the planting room next door with glowing beads on the roof. So, there was nothing else in the room except the copper ring Qian Ying had just held in her hand.

Qian Ying turned to Ma Sanxing and Zhou Zixing and said, "It seems that as the owner of this place, he should have died alone. That's why he sat here and passed away instead of being buried. Since we found some precious medicines here, we should also help the original owner and bury him, as a way of repaying him for the precious medicines he left for us."

Zhou Zixing and Ma Sanxing nodded in agreement and said, "Of course, we can, but where should we bury it?"

"There is another room next door that I haven't seen yet, but I guess it should be similar to the other rooms, with rock floors, so it's not suitable for burial. But the precious medicine room we just got has a soil floor because it is a planting area. After we dig up the medicinal materials, we can bury the skeleton next door."

"Yes, I think it's feasible." Zhou Zixing nodded in agreement.

"Okay, then let's look at the next house. After Manager Qian finishes his work, we'll have someone bury this skeleton," said Qian Ying.

The three men then turned around, walked out of this room, and went to the fifth room.

But just as the three of them turned to leave the room, the jade-colored skull sitting cross-legged on the stone bed seemed to turn its head. Unfortunately, Qian Ying and the other two had already turned around and did not see the skull turn.

Qian Ying and the other two entered the fifth room. The room was not big, only less than ten square meters, and there were some sundries piled up inside, as well as some clothes that should have been changed at that time. The three of them checked one by one and found that there was nothing good, it was basically just a storage room.

So, the three of them turned around and left the house, waiting in the hall for Qian Wantong to collect herbs.

At the same time, after Qian Wantong arranged the task of collecting medicinal herbs, he looked up at the ten gems inlaid on the roof, his eyes shining. From the warm light emitted by the gems, it was known that these ten gems must be extraordinary, so the medicinal herbs had to be dug out and these ten gems had to be taken away.

Even if it only has the function of lighting, it would be great to collect them and inlay them in your own practice room.

The room is more than four meters high, but the walls of the house are all very smooth rock walls. There is no leverage at all. One can only find a way to gain leverage to get the ten gems embedded in the roof down.

Qian Wantong found some steel nails for rock climbing and used his strength to drive them into the rock. With the strength of the tenth level of acquired power, the steel nails were driven into the rock without any hindrance. After driving them one by one, he followed the steel nails and climbed up to the roof. He used a few steel nails and hooks to hang on the roof, and he could reach the glowing orb with his hand.

When I held them in my hands, I felt that these beads were very warm and emitted some heat, but they were not hot.

Qian Wantong used a steel chisel to carefully knock off the rocks around the pearls one by one, and when he saw signs of loosening, he reached out and dragged the pearls, and then carefully pulled them out. In this way, after some effort, ten pearls were obtained.

Then he turned over and landed on the ground, carefully wrapped the orb with cloth, placed it in a wooden box, and then put it in his backpack.

All of this was seen by Chen Mo at the door, and he was very excited. Although these pearls could not be examined in detail, they were treasures. The most important thing was that he could feel the spiritual energy from these pearls, which was not simple, and was definitely a good thing.

Therefore, when he saw Qian Wantong put the pearl into his backpack, he was thinking about how to take the pearl for himself.

However, now was not the time to take action, so he quickly retreated and came to the outside of the cave hall. While the other warriors were not paying attention, he used the jade sword to dig out ten rocks that were not much different from the gems. After cutting them into circles, he put them into the Qiankun bag.

Then, he took out Lan Caijie's soul jar and released it.

"Master, where is this?" As soon as Lan Caijie came out, she found herself in a cave hall and asked Chen Mo.

Chen Mo quickly signaled Lan Caijie to hide, because there would be other warriors appearing in this place at any time, and if they saw Lan Caijie, it would cause trouble.

After being nourished in the soul jar for a while, Lan Caijie's spirit body has become much more solid, and it no longer sways and collapses like before. This is also the effect achieved by Chen Mo putting spirit liquid in Lan Caijie's soul jar, allowing her to use the spirit liquid to restore her spirit body every day.

After Chen Mo saw Lan Caijie disappear, he told Lan Caijie his request.

After hearing this, Lan Caijie was speechless. She didn't expect that the first task assigned to her by her master was to be a thief.

However, it was really exciting. After all, she had never been a thief.

"Hehe, no problem, I will complete the task." Lan Caijie said. Chen Mo took out a Qiankun bag and used the prohibition to connect Lan Caijie's spiritual consciousness with the Qiankun bag, so that Lan Caijie could use the Qiankun bag.

However, since Lan Caijie is a spirit, she can be invisible in space, but the Qiankun bag is a physical object and cannot be hidden. If Lan Caijie holds the Qiankun bag, people will see a small cloth bag floating in the air, which will definitely make people think that there is a ghost.

Therefore, Chen Mo took out a number of talismans again, including an invisibility talisman, and gave it to Lan Caijie, asking her to use it on the Qiankun bag to achieve a hiding effect.

In this way, with the Qiankun bag and various talismans, Lan Caijie naturally has the confidence that she can complete the task assigned by Chen Mo.

Lan Caijie took the Qiankun bag and left immediately, while Chen Mo entered the second cave hall again and used a little Zhen Yuan to hit Qian Wantong's backpack. At this time, Qian Wantong's backpack was watched by some warriors of the Qian family and was not on his back.

After all, Qian Wantong still has to dig for medicinal herbs and is still busy.

In the cave hall, warriors who had nothing to do were all waiting. Naturally, some warriors, when they saw Qian Ying and others standing aside and waiting for Qian Wantong to dig out the precious medicine, also went to visit the rooms one after another, wanting to see the facilities in these rooms.

Chen Mo naturally followed, wanting to see the fourth and fifth houses.

"Where did you go just now? Why didn't I see you?" Ouyang Ruoxi was in the second cave hall, standing with Ouyang Nana. When she saw Chen Mo returning, she asked.

"Oh, I'm going to the bathroom." Chen Mo said with a smile.

After hearing this, Ouyang Ruoxi's face turned red and she gave Chen Mo a cold look.

"Shall we go and take a look at the two rooms at the back?" Chen Mo asked.

"Okay!" Ouyang Ruoxi was also a little curious, so she agreed.

So, the two of them followed Ouyang Nana and walked into the fourth house, which was the house with the jade skull.

After Chen Mo entered, he saw warriors from several other families also looking at the skeleton in the room.

However, when Chen Mo saw the skeleton under the light, he felt something was wrong. He walked forward a few steps and came closer to the skeleton, and he felt something was wrong.

I sighed in my heart, wow, I didn't expect this, I really didn't expect that he would have such a trick up his sleeve.

He stepped back carefully, took Ouyang Ruoxi's hand, and whispered, "Call Nana and follow me immediately."

After hearing this, Ouyang Ruoxi reached out and pulled Ouyang Nana without any hesitation, and then the three of them left the room.

Chen Mo did not delay and said to Ouyang Ruoxi: "You and Nana go outside the cave hall and wait outside the outermost stone gate. It is not safe here."

"What about you?" Ouyang Ruoxi asked back after hearing Chen Mo's words.

"I'm here. If my aunt and others are in danger, I can lend a hand." Chen Mo said. Although he said so, this was only one reason why he wanted to stay here. There were other reasons that he didn't tell Ouyang Ruoxi.

Ouyang Ruoxi asked worriedly, "Is it dangerous? Otherwise, I'll call my aunt and we can hide outside together."

"No need, I'll take care of everything. If any danger occurs, I can handle it. Besides, I can't be sure that the danger will definitely happen." Chen Mo said.

Ouyang Ruoxi nodded. Since Chen Mo said he could handle it, she did not stay any longer and returned to the outermost part of the cave hall with Ouyang Nana.

In the first cave hall, there were two warriors from the Ouyang family, who were also called away by her and retreated to the initial cave entrance, where there were several wounded members of the Ouyang family recovering from their injuries. These people were injured while fighting the ants, and because of their severe external injuries, they stayed here and did not enter the cave hall at the back.

After seeing Ouyang Ruoxi leave, he walked to the edge of the cave hall and said something to Lan Caijie who was hiding in the dark through voice transmission. Then he quietly sat in the corner, waiting for things to develop.

Perhaps, I will have a chance to get the precious beads and some medicinal herbs later.
