Tomb raiding: Start with a proficiency panel

Time passed,

Half a month later, inside the Ding family compound, Ding Yudie was at the Zhou family compound in Qiandao Lake.

With the help of Ding Changsheng,

He successfully took over as head of the Ding family and is now riding high on his success.

Sitting in the head seat,

Looking around, the Ding family leader spoke:

"Now that I have a basic understanding of the Ding family, I know that some of you look down on me."

I'm not afraid to tell you,

I only became the head of the household because of Zhou Nanbei, the young master of the Zhou family, and...

I will soon be with Yi Sa, the head of the Yi family.

Go to Qiandao Lake to join the Zhou family.

If you're not satisfied, you'd better stand up soon, otherwise, once you've sided with Young Master Zhou...

They'll come out and cause trouble then.

That can kill people.

She slammed her hand on the table and roared in a somewhat effeminate voice:

"Step forward!"

Anyone disagree?

As soon as the words were spoken, the entire Ding family present trembled.

I wanted to get angry,

But seeing the Zhou family's swordsmen standing around,

He remained silent, silently following his heart.

Until this point,

One of the Ding family members said, "Yu Die, who dares to disagree?"

I don't know about others,

But I definitely admire you.

These words were met with a chorus of agreement, and Ding Yudie nodded in satisfaction.

After some discussion,

Ding Yudie then let them leave, and only after Yi Sa, Zong Hang, and the people from Qiandao Lake remained in the reception room.

Yi Sa teased:

"Haha, Rain Butterfly!"

That's really impressive, but the voice is a bit childish.

Otherwise, it would be truly impressive.

Ding Yudie tossed her hair: "Hmph, that's right."

"What can't I, Ding Yudie, do?"

He paused for a moment, then said, "But Yi Sa, you..."

How are the Yi family members doing?

And what about your fiancé, brother-in-law? How's he doing now?

Upon hearing this, Yi Sa

Wei shook his head slightly: "Those members of the Yi family are beyond saving."

They've all gone mad.

I gave them a dignified ending, and promised to take good care of their elderly mother and children in the future.

That's enough to have done right by them.

She paused, then added, "As for my brother-in-law,"

to be frank,

I was a little unsure of his condition, but when I saw him, he recognized me immediately.

And it can

Fluent communication and speaking

Aside from a slight change in appearance, he doesn't seem to have changed at all, but that's exactly what I'm worried about.

My biggest fear is that after his body is possessed...

She received all of her brother-in-law's memories.

It's a disguise.

Or perhaps my brother-in-law is still conscious, but not completely. I plan to take him with me.

Go to Qiandao Lake

"Let Young Master Zhou see. If my brother-in-law can get better, then my sister should be fine too."

Upon hearing this,

Ding Yudie nodded: "Okay, let's do it tomorrow."

We're setting off for Qiandao Lake tomorrow.

"It just so happens that I also need to go there. After all, Young Master Zhou appointed me as the person in charge, so I can't be irresponsible."

Yi Sa chuckled softly:

"Joining the Zhou family isn't so bad. Along the way, we've gotten to know Young Master Zhou and his personality."

As you all know,

Besides, what's wrong with having a powerful backer? If the sky falls, there's always someone tall enough to hold it up.

No one inside dared to cause trouble.

How wonderful.

…………

the other side,

In the courtyard of Zhou Nanbei in Qiandao Lake,

Wu Chan

Zhang Haixing was chatting with Zhou Nanbei.

suddenly,

Zhang Haixing asked, "Little Nanbei, even Wuzhiqi has come out."

Wouldn't that be...

Did Chi You really exist?

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly: "That's hard to say."

Moreover, people like Chi You,

If they truly survived, they must have reached the Yang Shen realm, capable of leaving a lasting legacy in that ancient era.

Those are all real big shots.

It was Wu Chan who spoke up: "Compared to Wuzhiqi,

I'd rather know,

What exactly did those two sentences left in the fertile soil—one for the past you, and one for the present you in the north and south—mean?

As soon as this word comes out,

The atmosphere fell silent for a moment, and after a long while, Zhou Nanbei finally spoke:

"to be honest,

I only have a superficial understanding of these two sentences, such as the phrase "common people" (苍生).

That's talking about people like us.

All living beings in this world can be called the common people, according to my understanding.

To make a bold guess,

Even the old monsters and ancient gods inside the bronze gate, and even what evil techniques they themselves might be practicing...

therefore,

It might emerge and harm the common people.

After all, there's a saying that goes, "Man is the most intelligent of all beings," which is quite different from what monsters consider superior.

Eating people can increase one's cultivation level.

This kind of thing has been a legend for a long time, so it might not be untrue.

He paused, then continued:

Even if this time is less than a hundred years old

It can also be understood as,

Perhaps some great catastrophe will occur a hundred years from now.

So tell me,

We need to prepare early, but this so-called "destruction of the world" part is something I really don't understand.

Think about it.

If the world were to disappear, could they still survive?

I have absolutely no clue.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chan asked, "Could this destroy the world?"

Not referring to the world itself,

Or are they life forms living within the world?

Zhou Nanbei shook his head slightly:

"It's unlikely, because it's impossible for all living beings to be killed."

As long as they need it.

That's definitely not possible, because it's like chives; you can't pull them all out by the roots at once.

Of course, you can harvest one crop and another will grow.

Besides, there are quite a few ancient artifacts inside the bronze door, and they won't just stand by and watch them go.

One's own bloodline descendants

To encounter such a calamity.

Upon hearing this, Wu Chan frowned, momentarily at a loss for words.

On the contrary, Zhang Haixing said:

"If we can't think of it, let's stop thinking about it. Let's strive to achieve a breakthrough as soon as possible."

Accumulate strength,

When everything is revealed, we will naturally know what happened before that.

We just need to accumulate strength.

otherwise,

When that time comes, we won't even have the power to resist; that's what true powerlessness is.

As soon as he finished speaking,

Zhou Nanbei took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then nodded:

"That's true."

"Things will work themselves out in the end, let's not dwell on this."

He then changed the subject.

"By the way, I've retrieved the Breath Soil, so I have the materials to refine the materials for the Tribulation of Lightning."

As he spoke,

With a flick of his wrist, the core earth element appeared in his hand.

The two looked at the brown stone in Zhou Nanbei's hand.

I was taken aback.

"Is this clod of soil the Breath of Life?"

Faced with Wu Chan's doubts,

Zhou Nanbei smiled and said, "This is the core earth element of the Breath of Earth."

It's as heavy as a mountain.

"It's only because I refined it; otherwise, there would have been no way I could have picked it up with my bare hands."

Speaking of injecting vitality,

The Breath of Soil emerged from it, and brown soil tentacles appeared before the two of them.

Zhou Nanbei introduced:

"This is the Breath of Earth, and it can reproduce on its own, but we don't yet know how fast it can reproduce."

Once the experiment is completed,

After increasing the reproduction rate and acquiring energy to accelerate the process, this thing can become...

Our Qiandao Lake

This is one of our fundamental resources, especially the materials we'll need for future tribulations; we'll basically have no shortage of those.

The two nodded upon hearing this.

Suddenly, Zuo Ci's voice came: "North and South,

Call the old Taoist priest here.

Is there something wrong?

The three turned around and saw that it was Zuo Ci walking over.

Before he could even speak,

Zuo Ci then said:

"North and South, is this the Breath of Earth?"
