With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

After returning from the Qilian Mountains, the three rested at the guesthouse for three days before setting off again.

On the train, Li Mancang flipped through his notebook, which was filled with various calculations and geological data.

"According to ancient records, the flying apsara ornaments should be in a grotto near the Singing Sand Dunes, but the specific grotto is vaguely recorded."

Wang Zhaixing leaned against the window, fiddling with his compass in his hand.

"I recalculated the divination, and the direction pointed to the southwest, but the hexagram showed 'things hidden in the sand, the time has not yet come,' which is somewhat similar to the situation before the Qilian Mountains."

Jiang Zhiyu sat opposite her, resting with her eyes closed.

Was it the same situation when you went last time?

"Yes," Wang Zhaixing nodded, "At the time, Mancang and I calculated the location correctly, but we just couldn't find the thing. Now that I think about it, it must be because so much time has passed, and changes in the surrounding magnetic field have caused changes in the earth's veins, so the location of the thing has changed as well."

Li Mancang closed his notebook.

"We need to be careful this time, so we don't almost get stuck like last time."

Jiang Zhiyu opened her eyes.

"With me here this time, there won't be any problems. Once we arrive, don't rush to search; let me sense the surrounding ley lines first."

The three arrived in Dunhuang and then transferred to Mingsha Mountain.

At the end of February, the Mingsha Mountain is filled with yellow sand, and the sand dunes stretch endlessly, gleaming with a golden luster under the sunlight.

The three of them went directly around to the back of Mingsha Mountain.

Wang Zhaixing raised the compass, but the needle began to tremble again.

"As expected, the magnetic field here is still unstable."

Li Mancang squatted down, grabbed a handful of sand, and let it flow through his fingers.

"The earth's veins have indeed shifted; the direction of the sand flow is different from what is recorded in ancient texts, indicating that both the groundwater level and the orientation of the sand dunes have changed."

Jiang Zhiyu closed her eyes and slowly released her spiritual energy.

Her spiritual power spread outwards like an invisible net. The geological veins of Mingsha Mountain are different from those of Qilian Mountain. The geological veins here are shallower but more complex. Beneath the sand layer are rock layers, and beneath the rock layers is groundwater. The three intertwine to form an extremely complex magnetic field environment.

She "saw" the direction of the earth's veins through her spiritual perception, and it did indeed deviate from the direction calculated by Wang Zhaixing and Li Mancang.

"Fifteen degrees south of southwest," she opened her eyes, "there's a node in the ley lines there, and the object should be nearby."

Wang Zhaixing readjusted the compass's orientation, and the pointer finally stabilized.

"Yes, that's the location. But the hexagram still shows 'hidden,' indicating that the thing is very well hidden."

The three of them followed this direction and walked for about two miles until they reached the back of a sand dune.

There is an exposed rock face here, with some signs of weathering and faint traces of human excavation.

Li Mancang stepped forward and touched the rock wall with his hand.

"These are remnants of a grotto, but they've been mostly buried by sand. It should be right here."

Wang Zhaixing circled the rock face once.

"The entrance to the grotto should be below here, but it's buried by sand. We need to clear the sand away."

The three of them began to clear the sand.

After digging about a meter deep, a hole was finally revealed. The hole was very small, only big enough for one person to crawl in.

It was very dark inside the cave, so the three of them turned on their flashlights.

The grotto is small, about ten square meters, with some remaining murals on the four walls, but they have mostly peeled off. In the center of the grotto is a stone platform, which is completely empty.

"Where are the things?" Li Mancang looked around.

Wang Zhaixing took the compass and circled around the cave several times.

"The compass indicates that something is nearby, but I can't pinpoint its exact location."

Jiang Zhiyu closed her eyes and released her spiritual power once again.

The spiritual senses inside the cave were clearer than outside, and she quickly "saw" a hidden compartment beneath the stone platform containing three small metal objects.

"There's a hidden compartment beneath the stone platform."

The three of them worked together to move the stone platform, and sure enough, a hidden compartment was revealed.

Inside the hidden compartment were three bronze ornaments, each about the size of a palm, engraved with flying apsaras patterns, all emerald green, and remarkably well-preserved.

Li Mancang carefully picked up a piece and examined it closely.

"These are the three pieces, the flying apsara ornaments. The ancient books are correct."

Wang Zhaixing also picked up a piece and looked at it.

"This thing should have been pasted on the ceiling of the grotto, symbolizing the flying apsaras paying homage to Buddha, but I don't know why it's in a hidden compartment."

Jiang Zhiyu didn't speak; she was using her mental energy to sense the three ornament pieces.

"These three ornaments contain very faint energy fluctuations, unlike the bronze artifacts we found earlier."

"What kind of energy?" Wang Zhaixing asked.

"I can't quite put my finger on it, but it's probably related to the energy of the earth's veins. These three ornaments have been here for so long that they've resonated with the earth's veins."

Li Mancang carefully wrapped the three ornament pieces and handed them to Jiang Zhiyu.

"Take him back first; this place isn't suitable for him to stay long."

The three returned the way they came, climbed out of the cave, and filled the sand back in, restoring it to its original state.

After descending the mountain, the three returned directly to Dunhuang city and found a guesthouse to stay in.

That evening, the three of them looked at the six bronze artifacts they had just found in their room.

Wang Zhaixing placed the compass next to the bronze vessel, and the needle began to vibrate again.

"Sure enough, these items from the northwest all possess energy, affecting the compass's direction."

Li Mancang flipped through his notebook, discussing it with Wang Zhaixing as he looked at the notes.

Jiang Zhiyu did not participate in their discussion; she was focused on sensing the three decorative pieces.

Her mental power could clearly perceive the energy fluctuations within the ornament. These fluctuations were very weak but very stable, like some kind of ancient rhythm.

She suddenly had a feeling that these three ornaments were different from other bronze artifacts; they seemed to be "alive".

It's not that they're truly alive, but rather that they bear the marks of so many years, which has given them a unique kind of "life."

The feeling was strange; she couldn't quite explain it, but she could sense that the three ornaments were "responding" to her spiritual power.

"What's wrong?" Wang Zhaixing asked when he saw her staring blankly.

Jiang Zhiyu came to her senses.

"It's nothing, I just felt that these three decorative pieces were a little different."

"What's different?"

"I can't quite explain it," she shook her head, "I'll look into it when I get back."

"Host, host, we can level up when we get back! I can't wait!"
