"What kind of precious treasure?!"

Hearing Little Dragon Girl so excited, Sun Zhe immediately got excited too.

Anything that could make Sister Long excited must be a real find!

Sun Zhe suddenly found Leng Yuening not as alluring as before, and said to her, "Yuening, let’s sort out the loot first, we’ll come back later."

Leng Yuening blushed and gave him a playful slap, saying coquettishly, "Who invited you back anyway?"

Sun Zhe laughed heartily and turned towards the loot pile.

Following Little Dragon Girl’s instructions, he quickly rummaged through the loot like a frenzied husky and soon found the treasure that excited Little Dragon Girl.

It was a copper pestle, resembling a three-edged military spike at first glance, covered in dense Sanskrit, exuding an ancient aura.

"Sister Long, this is the precious treasure you’re talking about?"

"Yes, this Brass Pestle is your biggest gain this time."

Sun Zhe asked curiously, "This doesn’t look like a Magical Treasure, what’s it used for?"

Little Dragon Girl explained knowledgeably, "This Brass Pestle can be wielded as a weapon, capable of breaking anything; controlled with your Divine Sense, it can break through arrays and prohibitions; if you comprehend the Sanskrit on it, you can deploy the Vajra Array."

"In general, this Brass Pestle is not inferior to your Celestial Sealing Treasure Seal, and may even be more practical."

"I never thought such a treasure would fall into the hands of these low-level cultivators from the Outer Domain, it’s truly a pearl in the dust."

Sun Zhe weighed it in his hand, examined the Sanskrit thoroughly, then stored it in the Ring Space, deciding to study it further later on. He asked, "You seem to know a lot about it, have you seen this thing before?"

Little Dragon Girl replied, "I read about it in an ancient book, it’s also my first time seeing it."

"As expected of Sister Long, so knowledgeable."

Sun Zhe chuckled and continued searching through the pile of jumbled loot on the ground.

"Speaking of which, besides this Brass Pestle, is there any other treasure?"

"The rest don’t interest me, you can play around with them."

"..."

With Leng Yuening’s help, Sun Zhe quickly sorted and categorized all the loot.

Most of it was herbs and elixirs, and a few Magical Treasures that Sun Zhe wasn’t interested in.

"They’re so damn poor, not even a single Cultivation Technique manual."

Little Dragon Girl said, "In the world of cultivators who hold onto their worn-out brooms, people usually don’t carry Cultivation Technique manuals with them."

Sun Zhe picked up a light blue stone about the size of a baby’s palm, with a texture like jade, and asked, "What’s this?"

Little Dragon Girl answered, "This is a spiritual stone, containing Spiritual Qi, which you can absorb. Although it’s a low-grade spiritual stone, it’s still valuable on Earth where Spiritual Qi is scarce."

Sun Zhe couldn’t help but complain, "That old guy was an elder of a sect, yet all he had was a dozen low-grade spiritual stones? This Rainbow Sword Sect is really pathetic."

Little Dragon Girl snorted disdainfully, "For such a fringe small power, having a few low-grade spiritual stones is already good enough."

"In places like the Outer Domain, spiritual stones are extremely scarce and valuable resources, all mined from spiritual mines, which are monopolized by major powers. These small powers don’t even have the chance to get the leftovers."

Sun Zhe nodded, thinking that this was probably similar to oil fields on Earth.

Then, Sun Zhe divided some elixirs, spiritual stones, and Magical Treasures to Leng Yuening, saying, "Everyone gets a share, these are yours. Now that you have a storage bag, you can put them all in."

"No need, you keep them."

"No more nonsense, take it."

"Oh." Leng Yuening accepted it, thinking to herself that this guy was quite domineering.

Sun Zhe looked at her meaningfully and said, "The temperature difference here is big, it’s a bit cold at night, how about sharing a tent?"

Leng Yuening rolled her eyes at him, "Are you serious?"

Sun Zhe said seriously, "Of course."

Leng Yuening decisively got up and walked towards her tent, "No way, you sleep on your own."

Sun Zhe looked regretful, "Do you have to be so heartless? I would have brought only one tent if I knew."

"..."

...

The next day.

Tormented by Yang Qi all night, Sun Zhe was eager to hit the road as soon as the sky started to brighten.

Leng Yuening stifled a laugh and asked curiously, "Why do you look so out of it?"

Sun Zhe sighed deeply and said, "The engine was burning oil all night, but just couldn’t take off, how could I be full of energy?"

Leng Yuening immediately caught on to his meaning and shot him a big eye roll, "You just think of that all day, be careful I’ll tell my sister."

"Do you really dare tell her?"

"Why wouldn’t I?"

Sun Zhe suddenly smirked, "Do you think there’s a chance that you two could come together when the time comes?"

Leng Yuening couldn’t help but imagine the scenes, and playfully scolded, "Get lost."

Sun Zhe laughed, "Just wait, you’ll need me someday too, just see how I deal with you then."

Leng Yuening pouted, "Alright, you take me to your space first, traveling is more important."

"..."

Flying at full speed for an entire day, Sun Zhe reached a swamp on the outskirts of Ten Thousand Gorges Forest by midnight.

"According to the map, this should be the marsh area on the outskirts of Ten Thousand Graves Valley."

Seeing the faint outline of shrubs ahead in the night, Sun Zhe inexplicably sensed a hint of danger and decided to rest for the night and set off in the morning.

Little Dragon Girl said, "I’ve been to Ten Thousand Graves Valley once before, it’s dangerous inside, but there are many treasures of heaven and earth. We might find something good when we explore it."

Sun Zhe perked up with interest, "Count me in!"

Then, Sun Zhe found a clean and flat spot near a stream outside the swamp, set up two tents there, roasted some snake meat over a campfire, and then released Leng Yuening from the Ring Space.

Leng Yuening sat by the campfire with a troubled look, holding the roasted snake meat in her hand, and asked, "Can’t you just boil some water for me to make instant noodles?"

But Sun Zhe said, "This snake meat is highly nutritious, it’s good for your body to eat."

Upon hearing this, Leng Yuening closed her eyes and tore off a piece to chew, mumbling with full cheeks, "But I still find it quite disgusting."

Sun Zhe glanced at her fair legs exposed under her short denim shorts, feeling like his insides were about to ignite.

After holding back all night and another day, he really wanted to throw caution to the wind.

Leng Yuening suddenly asked, "Where are we now?"

"We’ve reached Ten Thousand Graves Valley; once we get through it, we’ll arrive at the Emperor’s Tomb."

As he spoke, he took out a bottle of ointment from the Ring Space and handed it over.

Leng Yuening took it, curious, "What’s this for?"

Sun Zhe glanced at her long, fair legs, "Apply it on your legs. This place is full of poisonous insects."

"Okay, I’ll put it on after I take a bath."

Sun Zhe was surprised, "You still want to bathe under these conditions?"

Leng Yuening pointed to the stream not far away, "Isn’t there a stream right there?"

"When I fetched water earlier, I saw a lot of snakes in that stream."

Leng Yuening’s face turned pale, "Then you come with me to scare away the snakes."
