Upon hearing this, Qin Ziyue and Xu Chen could not hide their disappointment. How could such a powerful figure not have any treasures? It was 200% because he didn't want to give them away.
"If they don't want to give it, they don't have to. To be honest, it was our fault too. She was already showing mercy by not killing us," Xu Chen transmitted to Qin Ziyue.
Qin Ziyue nodded, and just as the two were about to say goodbye to the big shot, a sentence from the tomb owner made them stop in their tracks.
"Look, what's different about this little world?" She didn't ask if the two of them had seen such a little world before. Judging from the jade talisman, the two little ones might be disciples of a powerful force.
"What's different?" Xu Chen asked sincerely.
Qin Ziyue patiently observed the wind, the leaves, and the grass on the ground.
“Slow! Very slow. Everything here moves very slowly,” Qin Ziyue replied after observing.
"By the way, you've observed very carefully. This small world is the greatest gift I can leave you," the tomb owner said sincerely. Then, Xu Chen and Qin Ziyue each produced a key. The keys were peculiarly shaped, round with a square hole, similar to ancient copper coins. The tomb owner continued, "Time flows very slowly here, and the spiritual energy is abundant, making it very suitable for cultivation."
"Senior, won't our presence bother you?"
"No, because I'm about to die. To be precise, I'm already dead, and my consciousness will also dissipate into the world."
Xu Chen watched his senior's figure gradually become transparent. Even though he still had many questions to ask, he kept his mouth shut. The normal dissipation of a cultivator was, in fact, such a sorrowful thing. Qin Ziyue also turned her head away. The powerful figure smiled at the two sentimental children, "As long as you are human, you are destined to die. Make good use of this small world, and I'll give you one last hand." Then, her transparent figure became unsteady, and spiritual power burst forth. At this moment, the crater outside the tomb gradually recovered, everyone regained their mobility, and their memories were erased.
"Xu Chen, are you crying?"
"No, you're the one who's crying, senior."
"Let's go back to the city first, it's late enough today."
After saying that, the two opened the key, and the teleportation array emitted a burst of light. Xu Chen and the other person returned to the small forest on the ground. At this moment, she opened her phone to check the time and exclaimed, "It's true, senior! That big shot didn't lie to us. We stayed in the small world for so long, but only a few minutes have passed in reality."
"Let's go. This place has been restored. Their memories have long been erased. But then again, you can use this small world to buy your girlfriend some time to cultivate. Anyway, there's enough spiritual energy inside."
"That's true, but let's talk about it later. We'll wait until the experts have finished their archaeological work before they come back."
“Senior, please go home first, and take this uniform with you.” Xu Chen took off the uniform, returning to his original appearance. Qin Ziyue nodded. Then she left, specifically saying before leaving, “I haven’t erased Wang Li’s memories.” Xu Chen was stunned, and after thinking for a while, he understood what Qin Ziyue meant. Then, she took out six top-grade spirit stones from her storage bag. “Take these; they should at least guarantee her breakthrough to the Qi Condensation stage.” Xu Chen took the spirit stones, solemnly put them back in his storage bag, and clasped his hands in a fist salute to Qin Ziyue, “Senior, I am deeply grateful.”
"I don't know how you became the young sect leader. You're even poorer than me. I'm leaving now. See you later. You'll receive the pill formula tomorrow morning." With that, Qin Ziyue disappeared from the spot, and Xu Chen also left. He thought that since he was already here, he should go and ask how the team members were performing, fulfilling his responsibility as a superior.
At this moment, Qin Junlin and his three teammates were resting by the tomb. The body had already been transported back, but just in case, he stayed a little longer. Who knew that in that short time, Xu Chen appeared in front of him.
"Boss, what are you doing here?" Qin Junlin panicked. The other team members also hurriedly finished what they were eating and saluted Qin Junlin. This scene aroused the curiosity of everyone present, who kept looking at the group. Xu Chen quickly said, "You guys are afraid that I won't become a celebrity, right?"
"Boss, are you here to observe our battle?" Qin Junlin quickly withdrew his hand and asked.
"Observe my ass! Leading a group of people to kill four of them, you're not ashamed, but I am!"
"Boss, you can't say that. From the very beginning of the battle, we were fighting one-on-one. The others didn't keep up at all."
"Yes, yes, boss, strictly speaking, we're one-on-one."
Xu Chen's expression softened, and he asked, "Going back to the city? Can I hitch a ride?"
Qin Junlin chuckled, "If the boss has a request, we'll definitely fulfill it. However, our orders from above are to wait for the experts to come out and then escort them back to the city."
Xu Chen nodded. With such a grand setup, the tomb owner must be of high status. Xu Chen wasn't referring to that Nascent Soul stage expert. "Spending the last few years of one's life in a mortal's home and then being buried together? That's just a novel plot." After thinking for a moment, Xu Chen flicked his mud-covered sleeves and said to the four of them, "Alright, then I'll head back to the city first."
He then straightened his clothes and prepared to leave. Seeing this, Qin Junlin quickly called out to one of the soldiers, "Xiao Wang, come here." The soldier heard his commander's call.
"Commander!"
"Send this leader back to the city." Then Qin Junlin nudged Xu Chen with his elbow, "Boss, your ID!" It was the first time Xu Chen had enjoyed this privilege, and he was a little confused. Hearing what Qin said, he took out his ID from his pocket, which was actually a storage bag in his clothes pocket.
The soldier took it, glanced at it, and handed it back to Xu Chen with both hands, then saluted. Xu Chen was a little embarrassed and said directly, "Let's go, let's go." The two got into the jeep and left. Before leaving, Xu Chen glared fiercely at Qin Junlin. Seeing this, Qin Junlin looked up at the sky and whistled.
"Excuse me, gentlemen, was that your commander just now?" A young woman approached and asked. Qin Junlin nodded. "Yes, what can I do for you?"
"What's his name? Where is he from? Does he have a girlfriend?" The girl's detailed questions immediately put Qin Junlin and his group on alert.
"Why are you asking these questions?" one of the team members asked curiously.
"I like him."
"Oh, oh, you mean you like him?" Qin Junlin was stunned on the spot.
"Yes, I want to be his wife." The girl looked gentle and shy, but her pitiful eyes shone with a frighteningly pale, sickly look.
