But Lin Chuan had gone into business.

From his words, it seemed he didn’t have the same special obsession with the Archaeological Team as she did.

“Sisi, if Anling Archaeological Team encounters any problems, you can still ask Lin Chuan for help.” Shen Qianqian chimed in from beside her.

“Qianqian, you forgot, I’m being transferred next week.” Qin Sisi pouted.

Shen Qianqian raised her eyebrows in a smile, “That’s right. Congratulations on soon becoming a member of the National Archaeological Team.”

“The National Archaeological Team, congratulations.” Lin Chuan echoed the sentiment.

He was somewhat surprised in his heart; Qin Sisi was about to transfer to the National Archaeological Team. She must be an exceptional talent.

Qin Sisi beamed, “With my current skills, I’m just there to assist and catalog items.”

“Soon you’ll become an elite of the Archaeological Team. Then I’ll have to start calling you Expert Qin.” Lin Chuan laughed.

“You’re the true expert. If you could give me a couple of tricks, maybe I could really become Expert Qin, ha-ha.” Qin Sisi winked at Lin Chuan.

Lin Chuan took a sip of tea, saying with a smile, “Of course, if you can learn it.”

“Really?”

Qin Sisi’s eyes brightened.

“Of course.” Lin Chuan nodded.

However, Qin Sisi soon felt discouraged, lifting her own right hand, “My index and middle finger are much shorter than yours, and not as firm.”

“If the Double Finger Probe won’t do, there are still Dragon-Seeking and Positioning and the Art of Soil Sniffing.” Lin Chuan encouraged her.

“Dragon-Seeking and Positioning must take a long time to learn, right?” Qin Sisi inquired.

Lin Chuan nodded, “Yes, this requires much traveling, observing, and practice to discern.”

“I think I’ll be better suited for the Art of Soil Sniffing,” Qin Sisi said with a bright smile, showing her white teeth.

“That one is a bit simpler indeed.” Lin Chuan replied with a laugh.

Qin Sisi leaned forward, earnestly asking, “How do you practice it exactly?”

“Different periods, forms, and regions of tombs all present different scents in the soil. Tomorrow, I’ll take you to the Ancient Tomb to give it a try,” Lin Chuan explained with a smile.

Qin Sisi’s eyes lit up, and she readily agreed.

She was eager to give it a try.

As she would soon be joining the National Archaeological Team, she was about to head to the Qilu Region to conduct archaeology in the Taiyi Mountain Range. Learning the Art of Soil Sniffing would naturally be very beneficial.

It might just come in handy, right?

Therefore, Qin Sisi inquired further, “Teacher Lin, if there were tombs in the Qilu Region, what kind of smell would they typically have?”

Lin Chuan raised an eyebrow, “Are you going to do archaeology in the Qilu Region?”

Qin Sisi nodded, “Yes, according to the plan, I’ll be there for quite a long time.”

Lin Chuan recalled for a moment, then answered, “The Qilu Region indeed has many undiscovered Ancient Tombs. As for the tombs’ soil… well.”

“What kind?”

Qin Sisi listened attentively, like a diligent student.
