Chapter 140 Finding a Way Out

At this moment, Qing Xuanzi finally saw clearly what Rong Jiaojiao's treasure was like.

A small, emerald-green bead, even smaller than a child's glass marble, lay in Rong Jiaojiao's palm. At most, someone unfamiliar with the place would mistake it for a jade bead.

It was stared at by Qing Xuanzi for a while, rolled around in Rong Jiaojiao's hand, and then flew into Rong Jiaojiao's brow at the speed of light and disappeared.

Qing Xuanzi had a bad feeling. Was this little guy going to sleep for a few more days? They hadn't even gone out yet!

He quickly looked for a way out, only to find the little girl following him with great enthusiasm.

Qing Xuanzi glanced at the coffin on the central platform, but couldn't resist looking at it again, thinking that perhaps that person had left him some treasure or a way out.

He cautiously approached the central stone platform, his gaze fixed on the coffin on it, as if afraid that another spirit might emerge.

The coffin was entirely black, with intricate runes carved on its surface, giving it a sinister and eerie feel.

"Father Xi, what is this?" Rong Jiaojiao curiously leaned over, tilting her little head and looking at him with wide eyes.

"I don't know. You stand aside for now, and I'll open it and take a look."

He put Rong Jiaojiao aside, then patted various protective talismans on her body, and then stuck a bunch of talismans on himself before approaching the coffin.

He carefully placed his hand on the coffin, trying to use his spiritual power to probe the situation inside.

However, just as his spiritual power touched the surface of the coffin, the runes on the coffin suddenly lit up, and then the coffin slowly opened.

Qing Xuanzi instinctively stepped back, shielding Rong Jiaojiao behind him, and his spiritual power instantly erupted, forming a powerful shield.

However, no terrifying creatures or anything else rushed out of the coffin; instead, a faint spiritual aura permeated the air.

Qing Xuanzi breathed a sigh of relief. He peered into the coffin and saw a skeleton lying quietly inside, with a jade box beside it. The jade box was engraved with some runes he had never seen before.

"What is this?" Rong Jiaojiao followed her master's example and ran over to peek inside. The stark white bones only aroused her curiosity, not fear.

"It must be the way out left by the soul that tried to possess us earlier."

Qing Xuanzi carefully took the jade box out of the coffin and quickly probed it with his divine sense to check its contents.

There was only one thing in the jade box: a black bracelet that emitted a faint glow.

He opened the jade box and his gaze fell on the black bracelet. He didn't know what material the bracelet was made of, but it had a dull black sheen on it.

Qing Xuanzi probed into it with his divine sense and was surprised to find that it was actually a Qiankun Storage Bracelet.

It was very large inside, but there wasn't much inside. Nowadays, apart from the old ancestors who could pass down one or two Qiankun Rings, you couldn't find a single one outside, let alone a higher-level Qiankun Bracelet.

Qing Xuanzi happily picked up the bracelet and examined it carefully. He found that it was engraved with some complex runes, which were obviously used to protect and seal the items inside.

Qing Xuanzi infused his divine sense into the black bracelet, attempting to refine it. The black bracelet trembled slightly, then emitted a faint light, actually acknowledging him as its master.

Qing Xuanzi was immediately overjoyed!

"Father Xi, what is this?" Rong Jiaojiao looked at Qing Xuanzi's series of actions, wondering what he was so happy about.

"This is the Qiankun Bracelet left behind by that scoundrel today. It contains many valuable items, which can be considered compensation for us."

Qing Xuanzi put the black bracelet on his wrist and examined its contents.

Qing Xuanzi took out two rather conspicuous items: a yellowed ancient book and a scroll written in ancient script.

Qing Xuanzi's gaze first fell on the ancient book. He gently opened it and saw that it was filled with cultivation methods and knowledge of formations.

"The Lingyuan Fajing? I didn't expect it to be an autobiography!"

"This is an autobiography that specifically discusses the cultivation and application of spells, as well as breaking and dismantling formations. I must take it back and study the spells and formations on it carefully," Qing Xuanzi said happily to himself.

"Father Xi, what is this?" Rong Jiaojiao asked curiously as she leaned closer.

"This is a very powerful book, baby. When you grow up a little, your master will teach you the things in it."

Qing Xuanzi carefully put away the ancient book, and his gaze fell on the scroll again.

The scroll's cover was inscribed with the words "Thousand-Mile Teleportation Scroll" in ancient script. Qing Xuanzi carefully unfurled it, revealing profound runes covering its surface.

Qing Xuanzi quickly put it away, thinking it might save his life in case of danger.

He discovered that besides the "Lingyuan Fajing" and scrolls, there were also some elixirs, talismans, and cultivation tools inside.

“Father Xi, this is beautiful.” Rong Jiaojiao reached out to touch the black bracelet on Qing Xuanzi’s wrist, her eyes full of delight.

"When you're a little older, your master will give this to you," Qing Xuanzi said with a smile, his eyes full of affection.

"Yes! Baby wants it!" Rong Jiaojiao nodded vigorously.

She wanted everything when she was little, but when she grew up a bit, she wouldn't need this thing anymore.

Qing Xuanzi smiled, put the things away, and his gaze fell once again on the white bones in the coffin.

The skeletons no longer possessed any spiritual energy, clearly indicating that there was no longer any spiritual entity capable of possessing them.

"We should go back."

However, no way to get out was found inside the bracelet.

Qing Xuanzi had no choice but to search in this underground space, and even tried the teleportation array he had used to enter, but unfortunately it was a one-way teleportation.

After searching without success, Qing Xuanzi's gaze finally fell on the coffin. It was the only place he hadn't searched. He had a vague feeling that there might be a powerful clue there.

He carefully walked to the coffin and examined the runes and carvings on it.

He noticed a small groove at the bottom of the coffin, on which was engraved a complex array pattern.

Qing Xuanzi immediately poured his spiritual power into it, attempting to activate the formation.

However, the formation did not react at all.

Qing Xuanzi frowned. Could it be that this formation requires a specific item or spiritual power to activate?

"Father Xi?"

Rong Jiaojiao looked at her busy master with great confusion.

Qing Xuanzi patted Rong Jiaojiao's little head: "Wait a little longer, Master will definitely find a way out, Jiaojiao, don't worry!"

He suddenly remembered the "Lingyuan Fajing" (Spiritual Abyss Law Scripture) inside the bracelet, which might contain records about this formation. He quickly took out the ancient book from the bracelet, turned to the section related to formations, and examined it carefully.

"Found it!" A hint of surprise flashed in Qing Xuanzi's eyes. He discovered that the book recorded a similar formation, which mentioned that spiritual power needed to be input along a specific trajectory to activate it.

He immediately followed the instructions in the book and injected spiritual energy into the groove along a specific trajectory.
