C189 thatched hut (1/2)

Wen Ya was truly worthy of being a woman in charge of an auction, she had a hand in identifying medicinal ingredients.

Over five hundred years' worth of medicinal ingredients were all stored in the Profound Ice Jade Box. Fortunately, he had already prepared enough Profound Ice Jade Boxes before entering the Ancient Ruins.

Although Wen Ya still felt heartache over the remaining medicinal ingredients, although they were not as effective as Qin Shaojie had said, they were still priceless in the outside world. However, Wen Ya was not a greedy person, she knew that Qin Shaojie would never hurt her, so she hid the sense of regret in her heart, and looked towards the thatched cottage that Qin Shaojie had pointed to.

The thatched cottage was about three hundred meters away. It wasn't very big, and it appeared all by itself in this distant place. It looked quite ordinary …

If it were anyone else, they would have ignored it. To others, it would seem that the person assigned to take care of the medicinal garden was just standing guard here. However, Qin Shaojie was clear that if it was said that there was an existence within this mansion that caused even his heart to palpitate, then this thatched cottage in front of him was probably one of them.

These medicinal herbs were rare even in the ancient times. They were quite precious. Moreover, how could Qin Shaojie not tell that entering this medicine garden was a rather dangerous matter, and perhaps even under the Earth Origin Stage back then, he wouldn't be allowed to appear within this medicine garden. Even though there were stone lions and corridors outside, a thatched cottage was still built here. It was enough to see how much they valued this medicinal garden. The most important thing was that the strength of the people who were able to appear here was in their Earth Origin Stage, or even stronger. Otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to enter and leave freely.

There were only two possibilities for such an expert to guard the medicine garden. One was that there were unique medicines in the medicine garden, and even if there was a barrier outside, it wouldn't be enough to make the owner feel at ease. The other was that the most important person in the house lived here personally.

However, according to Qin Shaojie's guess, the second method had more possibilities.

The two of them carefully walked towards the thatched hut. Along the way, there wasn't anything special about them, and the surroundings were already fairly quiet. However, the closer they got to the thatched hut, the more Qin Shaojie noticed that the flowers and plants on the ground were a little abnormal. This abnormality was like the plants had a consciousness and intelligence, not just Qin Shaojie felt it himself, even Wen Ya felt it.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes. These flowers and plants were only a few centimeters long. Even though this place had been sealed for so many years, there were still no signs of growth. This was rather strange. Looking at them closely, these flowers and plants were not rare treasures, but ordinary flowers and plants from the outside world.

However, as he quietly released his divine sense, Qin Shaojie's expression also greatly changed, because he was 100% certain that these flowers and plants were truly intelligent. It was a pity that these spirits only landed on the flowers and grass. If they landed on the stone lions outside, it would be even more difficult to enter this place.

These plants could not be cultivated. The core reason that could cause such a situation was probably because there were truly shocking treasures here. The natural essence that this treasure gave birth to was even able to grow flowers and plants, and could also give birth to Spiritual Sense. If it was used rationally, it would be an extraordinary existence.

When he thought of this, even Qin Shaojie's breathing became hurried.

After suppressing the fluctuations in their hearts, the two directly entered the thatched hut. There definitely weren't any living people inside. Otherwise, if they were to continue plucking the items inside, it would have caused the living person to become furious. Of course, counting the time that had passed, to be able to survive in the ancient ruins for tens of millions of years was something that was almost impossible. After all, if there really was such a powerhouse, his strength would only be terrifyingly strong.

”There's nothing here?”

After entering the thatched cottage, Wen Ya immediately gathered the profound energy within her body and quietly observed her surroundings. But when she looked around, the entire thatched cottage was completely empty, there weren't even the necessary tables and chairs. Other than the structure of the house, it was empty.

Qin Shaojie was also aware of this situation, and after carefully examining it, he found that it was indeed as Wen Ya had said. In this thatched hut, besides the dried up grass on top of his head and the surrounding fences, all that was left were the soil under his feet.

”No, look at this soil. It's completely different from other places!”

However, Qin Shaojie shook his head. From the moment he entered the thatched hut, he felt that there was something different about his feet. However, when he moved his feet, the mud would not stick to his shoes. It was most likely sand. But if you looked closely, this was clearly the same soil as the outside world.

Most importantly, the temperature of the soil seemed to be much lower than that of the outside world. This kind of feeling was akin to warm jade.

In such a strange situation, if one were to say that there was nothing special about it, even Qin Shaojie himself would not believe it.

”It should be beneath this soil.”

The corner of his mouth curled into a smile, and the profound energy in Qin Shaojie's hands fluctuated nonstop as well. Then, a strong energy directly swept away the soil under his feet. But this sudden thickness was much deeper than Qin Shaojie had imagined, and seeing that, Wen Ya also joined in.
