Chapter 58 A Real Treasure
Jinran became more and more excited as she thought about it, and slid down at an even faster speed than when she rescued Doujin.
"Doubling the gold" is my belief.
They quickly reached the underground area, and suddenly it became pitch black, and they couldn't see anything. Jinran turned on the light she had been wearing on her head.
Even with lights, visibility was low, so Jinran took out an even brighter flashlight, which made things much clearer.
When it comes to equipment, she's a professional.
There were some stones and weeds scattered on the ground, nothing else, but the air was circulating and there was no pungent smell. Jinran thought she would walk a little further, and if she still found nothing, she would turn back immediately.
After walking for half an hour, Jinran stopped and cried, thinking that novels were all lies, and all the treasures were just broken stones.
Jinran angrily kicked the stone at her feet, and a rumbling sound rang out, startling her. She quickly hid in her spatial dimension.
"Woof woof~~" Master, why has your face turned poop color!
Jinran: ".............. Maybe you should just faint, Doujin!"
After waiting for a while, Jinran went out to check the situation and was surprised to find a hole in front of her, which looked extremely mysterious.
Is this going to cause a spiritual upheaval? And then everyone will be cultivating immortality? Isn't she supposed to be in a lighthearted, period romance novel?
Out of caution, I found a protective suit and gas mask in the space, put them on, and held a machete in my hand before cautiously walking inside.
Jinran is now the epitome of someone who is both bad at the game and loves to play.
The opening looked like a bottomless pit, but there were some mottled murals around the walls. Jinran patiently and carefully examined them.
Finally, she stated that this picture-based reading comprehension exercise was beyond her knowledge.
As Jinran continued walking, she noticed that the colors of the murals were becoming more and more vibrant, and they were also being preserved more and more completely. She could also faintly smell the fragrance of medicinal herbs and flowers and fruits in the air.
As they went deeper, the aroma grew stronger, and Jinran's doubts grew. Damn it, could this really be someone's blessed land?
After walking for a while, the view suddenly opened up before us, and a palace-style building that we had never seen before stood majestically in front of us.
Surrounded by fruit trees and flowers, Jinran noticed with her sharp eyes that precious medicinal herbs were growing on the trees, at their roots, and in the gaps between them.
Jinran didn't recognize some of them, but she had seen familiar medicinal herbs like ginseng, he shou wu, and ling zhi in books.
The scent she had just smelled must have come from these medicinal herbs. Jinran then turned her gaze to the palace. The palace's exterior didn't reveal its height, but it was estimated to be at least ten stories high.
The palace gates were open, as if welcoming visitors, but everything about them exuded an eeriness.
She didn't rush in, but cautiously looked around. When she found no danger, she carefully went inside.
There was no sound around, it was eerily quiet. Jinran felt a little nervous and scared, but also a little excited.
The interior of the palace can be described as luxurious, with the floors paved with gold and jewels.
The ceiling must be covered with something like luminous pearls. Otherwise, it wouldn't be as bright as day without any other lights.
Jinran was somewhat astonished; what kind of family must they be from!
Continuing on, there are twelve pillars in the main hall, each carved with a different dragon, all gazing majestically towards the entrance.
Jinran, naively bold, approached, wanting to see what material these dragons were made of—they were so realistic! They were probably jade, but Jinran couldn't tell what kind. Thinking of the gold bricks scattered on the ground, the jade must be high-grade.
The shimmering light reflected from the gemstones on the ground made Jinran dizzy. Apart from these opulent decorations, there was nothing else in the hall.
But there was a staircase deep inside the main hall, and Jinran planned to go up and take a look.
Upon reaching the second floor, Jinran stroked her chin, gazing at the floor filled with countless boxes studded with jewels. Based on her years of experience reading novels, she figured these boxes must contain rare treasures, gold, jade, and the like.
Jinran carefully tried to open the box closest to her, but instead of the dazzling jewels she had imagined, it was full of books.
Book?
I've already taken my pants off, and this is what you do?
Does she seem like the type to be studious and ambitious?
Unhappily, Jinran picked up a book and started flipping through it, but she couldn't understand it. A wave of frustration washed over her, which she couldn't vent or swallow, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
A few more were opened, and they were either porcelain vases or writing brushes, ink, paper, and inkstones.
Jinran: ".............." So she's unlucky?
Where is her gold plating? It's all paved the floor?
She's uneducated and doesn't understand it, but she knows that these things are priceless in the eyes of those who like them, so she'll just put them all into her space for now.
