Operation: Actively seek help and take the initiative to report
Three days later, Qin Dexin returned to the station and planned to "swap shifts" with the second elder, that is, she returned to the station to rest, while the second elder went to the spirit stone mine.
Before the second elder left, Qin Dexin casually asked, "Why don't you see Qirong Qingqing and the others?"
A few days ago, the ancestor had told her that Qirong Qingqing and the other two were going to the secret realm for training. She herself was an example of hard work and practice, and of course she would not oppose her son's progress.
Today, she changed shifts, and she thought she could see her son whom she hadn't seen for a long time, but she didn't see him after walking around the station.
The second elder slowly jumped onto the giant alchemy furnace, turned his head to look at her, and smiled with an ambiguous smile, "Of course you can't see them, those kids are busy treasure hunting recently. Hey, you know what, the little guys are lucky, they really found some good things for them."
Treasure hunting. This term that sounds like not doing business properly drilled into Qin Dexin's mind, making her frown.
Just when she wanted to ask again, the second elder had already walked away leisurely on the alchemy furnace.
This old thing!
-
"Sister, where are we going next?" The little fat ball's face was red, this was excitement.
A few days ago, my sister suddenly had the idea of treasure hunting, Qi Rong thought my sister just wanted to play, and didn't take it seriously. Unexpectedly, the sister's luck was so good that she found many rare elixirs just by taking them around the jungle.
What about the thousand-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, the Heart Soul Herb that can heal the mind and soul...
Qi Rong was completely excited now. Not to mention him, even the always stable Qin Luwei was fascinated by this "treasure hunt" activity.
Qin Ruqing looked at the two pairs of big eyes staring at her, and felt like she had spoiled the elementary school students.
But...haha, treasure hunting is really fun! Well, today is the last day of fun, and tomorrow I will start the formal training.
This time, for sure!
Qin Ruqing said, "We have almost explored this forest. There is basically nothing good left. If we want to find more, we have to go inside. But the Second Elder has told us several times that we can only walk around the periphery."
"What should we do?" Qin Luwei said.
Qin Ruqing pondered for a while and said in a loud voice, "Let's go to another place!"
The three little ones twisted and turned and came to a cliff. Although it was called a cliff, it was not steep. The height was not scary for three Qi training monks. If they didn't fall, they would still have time to summon flying magic tools.
Qirong was lying on the edge of the cliff, not afraid at all, just curious, "Sister, what are you doing here? It's completely bare here, all rocks, there's not even a blade of grass."
Lu Wei maintained a serious attitude, looked around and said, "Looking at the environment, it doesn't look like a place where a Broken-Ruby Orchid can grow."
The Broken-Ruby Orchid is a kind of orchid-shaped magical medicine that only grows on the edge of cliffs. Although it is not a rare treasure, it is also very precious.
Qin Ruqing put his hands behind his back and said calmly: "You don't understand this, right? The edge of the cliff, the bottom of the cliff or the cave in the middle of the cliff are all places where adventures are common!"
Didn't you see the protagonist of the novel fall off the cliff, or be picked up by a mysterious master, or accidentally inherit in the cave? This shows that the probability of there being good things here is still very high.
- The most important thing is that the range of spiritual treasures shown in her treasure explorer includes this cliff.
Since there may be something here, why not come and take a look? All novels are written like this, maybe it really is a bit metaphysical?
After hearing this, Qirong was very confused, but Lu Wei remembered something, "Xiaowu, you are not talking about the adventures of the immortal cultivators in the storybooks,
are you?" Well, storybooks, even the storybooks of the immortal cultivation world have this part?
Qin Ruqing poked his head to examine the surrounding environment and said, "What storybook is it, and what is it about?"
Qin Luwei said, "It tells the story of a son of a small family who was expelled from his home, how he redressed his grievances step by step, returned to his family, and then reached the pinnacle of the immortal world."
Qin Ruqing: Ha!
It's really cliché. This book is so cliché that no one would read it even in Xiaolujiang now. Why does it have to add the elements of traveling through a book and rebirth?
Putting this aside, Qin Ruqing said, "Let's take the magic weapon down to see if there is a cave or something."
Qin Luwei didn't say much, and directly took out her own alchemy furnace, then chanted a spell to enlarge it, and jumped on it casually, then turned around and said, "Since you don't pursue speed, just take my magic weapon."
Qin Ruqing almost couldn't hold back his laughter.
In other words, the Qin family's flying magic weapons are really too similar. Then why not let the alchemy furnace be used to refine pills? As a result, eight out of ten alchemy practitioners in the Qin family used it as a flying machine.
This may also be regarded as the family characteristic of the Qin family.
The three of them sat on the big alchemy furnace, and Qin Luwei controlled the alchemy furnace and slowly flew to the bottom of the cliff. During the flight, Qin Ruqing reminded Qirong, "Pay attention, Third Sister is busy controlling the alchemy furnace and can't be distracted. Squeak when you see a cave."
Qirong nodded heavily while searching for the cave.
The cave, of course, was found in the end, and the two of them were found, but after the three of them went in to explore, they didn't find anything special inside.
There were even countless bats hanging in one of the caves, some of which were already intelligent and belonged to the category of monsters. Imagine the scene of those upside-down bats opening their red eyes at the same time.
The three little ones were so scared that they fled in disgrace.
The expedition had started off badly, Qin Ruqing wiped his face dejectedly, "Qirong, are you okay?" When they had just escaped from the cave, it was Qirong who was covering their rear.
The little fat ball patted his chest and said calmly: "Don't worry, sister, two bats bit me just now, but unfortunately, their teeth were broken and they didn't bite through my skin."
The teeth were broken... Qin Ruqing twitched the corner of his mouth, "That's good."
Qin Luwei controlled the alchemy furnace to stay away from the cave with bats and asked: "Xiaowu, where are we going now?"
Qin Ruqing was still a little unwilling, so she opened the treasure explorer and took a look. There should be a cliff nearby, "Let's go to the west and see, there is another cliff there."
Qin Luwei did as she was told, "Do you still think you can find treasures in the cliff cave? The stories in the books are all lies."
Qin Ruqing did not comment, "Just take a look, there is nothing this time, I won't come here again in the future."
The cliff on the west side is steeper and higher than the previous one. Qin Ruqing and the others first walked around the bottom of the cliff, but didn't find anything special. Finally, they found a cave in a very hidden corner.
Qin Luwei controlled the alchemy furnace to stop at the narrow entrance of the cave. The width of the entrance was only enough for an adult to pass through. Of course, it was still spacious for their teenage children.
"Xiaowu, do you want to go in?"
Qin Ruqing pinched a seal with one hand, and a ray of orange-red fire flashed from her fingers. "Don't be in a hurry, let's see if there is anything in there."
She bent her fingers and bounced the ball of fire in. Ordinary wild beasts or low-level monsters are afraid of fire, not to mention that her fire is not ordinary fire, but the fire cultivated by the old ancestor in the skills, which will explode when it hits the ground.
If there is really a monster living in this cave, it will definitely be alarmed and run out when it hears the noise. They stopped outside the cave for a distance, and they would have time to run if something happened.
After the fire magic was thrown in, there was a loud bang soon. Not to mention that it blew through the cave, it must have had an effect in terms of momentum. After listening carefully, there was no unusual sound after the explosion stopped.
Qin Ruqing nodded. It seemed unlikely that there were monsters inside, but she still couldn't let her guard down. "Qi Rong and I will lead the way. Third sister, you follow behind us."
Qin Luwei's lips moved, and it was obvious that she wanted to say something.
Qin Ruqing knew what she was thinking, and rushed to the front and said, "It's okay, third sister. Qi Rong is a physical cultivator, so he is strong and resistant to blows. I have a Taoist body and strong recovery ability. It's perfect for the two of us to lead the way. You stay behind and help us watch the situation behind."
This distribution was very reasonable. Although Qin Luwei felt that it was not good for her to be protected by her younger brothers and sisters as the older sister, she still nodded.
Qin Ruqing and Qin Qi Rong jumped to the entrance of the cave together, and the two of them slowly bent over and walked in. Halfway through, Qin Ruqing twisted her buttocks and felt a little stuck. She complained, "Rongqiuer, you should lose weight."
Qirong shrank his arms and shouted aggrievedly, "I've lost weight!"
Of course. Qirong used to have some flesh, but since he was trained by the ancestor, the flesh has been disappearing day by day. Now that he draws qi into his body and devours his physical body to awaken, he basically doesn't gain flesh. In other words, Qirong has now changed from a little fat ball to a real handsome young boy.
Qin Ruqing was laughing in front. She couldn't change her bad taste in a day or two. Xiao Lu Wei also pursed her lips in the back.
Entering the cave, it was unexpectedly spacious. The shape of this cave is a bit like a round-bellied vase lying flat, with a small mouth and a large body.
Qin Ruqing held her breath and looked around. There were burnt marks on the ground, which must have been blown up by her fire spell just now. Other than that, the cave seemed very ordinary, too ordinary.
Tick tock. There is the sound of water.
Oh, compared to the previous caves, the only difference here is that it is more humid.
Qin Qirong looked up and exclaimed: "The moss in this cave is so thick."
Qin Luwei also stretched out his hand and twisted it, explaining: "Moss can easily grow in moist places."
The three of them took a look around. To be honest, even though the space inside is a bit larger, it is still very small compared to other caves.
There are only two holes, the larger one on the outside and the smaller one on the inside. The environment of the cave is neither tortuous, dark, nor spooky. As I said before, it is ordinary.
Qirong said, "Sister, it seems that the stories in the books are all lies. There is nothing in this cave. The previous cave at least had bats and poisonous snakes and so on. Let's go while it's still light and we can visit a few more places."
Qin Ruqing frowned, "But I don't know why, I always feel that this place is a little special."
Lu Wei attached great importance to Qin Ruqing's opinion and asked, "What's special about it?"
Qin Ruqing looked thoughtful and did not answer. She felt the two cave entrances back and forth, and then stopped at the small cave entrance inside. "Don't you think that the spiritual energy content of this cave is very high and very active?"
Qirong and Lu Wei looked at each other, felt it for a while, but both shook their heads. "No."
Qin Ruqing doubted herself at first, but after feeling it for a while, she became more and more certain, "No, this place must be different from the outside, especially this small hole."
She was born with a large and round body, and her affinity and sensitivity to spiritual energy were beyond others' imagination.
Qin Ruqing didn't say anything more, but carefully explored the dark gray wall, tapping it with her fingertips from time to time. Qirong and Lu Wei looked at her and tried to do the same.
Apart from anything else, Qingqing has the highest talent and the most special physique among the three of them. She said that this place is not ordinary, so there must be a mystery!
Suddenly, Qin Ruqing stopped at a place, concentrated for a while, raised her head and said, "The sound of dripping water here is so loud." She hesitated for a while, but still used a magic trick and blasted up.
A crack was blown open on the mountain wall.
Seeing this, Qirong pulled Qin Ruqing away and said, "Sister, let me do it." There were no fancy moves, and he punched up directly.
There was a cracking sound, and gravel fell to the ground. A hole was blown open on the rock wall, revealing a dark, deeper hole.
It was hollow!
There really was a different world inside!
The storybook really didn't lie!
The hole was about the size of a face. Qin Qirong subconsciously stuck his head in to see what was going on inside. After a while, he raised his head and said blankly, "Sister, there is such a strong spiritual energy in the hole."
Qin Ruqing didn't need to tell him, he could feel it himself.
Qin Luwei's face became serious, she took a deep breath, and moved her ears, "The ticking sound is getting louder."
"Xiaowu, what should we do? Should we continue to bomb? The ticking sound seems to be some distance away from us."
Qin Ruqing suppressed the excitement in her heart and thought, as expected, the novel is true to me! Just as she was about to speak, she saw Qirong take out a glowing jade slip.
啓榮擡頭說:“我娘給我發訊息了。”
點開,訊息t外放,是秦德馨略微有些惱怒的聲音:“啓榮,你們現在在哪兒?不修煉整日裏忙着尋寶是吧!”
這火氣不輕啊。啓榮下意識縮了縮脖子,秦如清的眼睛卻亮起來。
“快,給你娘回信,告訴她地點。就說,我們有了重大發現,叫她速來!”
啓榮有些遲疑:“為什麽,我娘過來一定會揍我的,連帶着還會說你幾句。”
Qin Ruqing said: "You are stupid, that's why we have to ask Third Aunt to come over. It's obviously not normal here, but if we rely on just a few of us, we may not be able to find the source of the anomaly even if we bombard it for several days. It will be different if Third Aunt comes, she is a foundation-building cultivator, if she wants, she can just blow up the whole cave!"
"As long as Third Aunt takes action, she will be considered to have participated in this treasure hunt, and we will be allies. If we find something good by then, not only will we be fine, but we will also have made a contribution. Afterwards, when the elders ask about it, we will say that we discovered the anomaly during the treasure hunt, and we did not dare to delay, but actively sought help and reported it! Just wait and see, they will reward us by then!"
"Actively seek help, take the initiative to report" these eight glorious and righteous words hit the heads of Qirong and Lu Wei, and shocked them.
In other words, can we still operate like this? Obviously, they didn't lie at all, but the things that originally made them feel guilty suddenly became full of confidence.
Yes, we did actively seek help and take the initiative to report!
If there is really any major discovery here, we did not operate privately, but took the initiative to seek help from the elders, and did not delay anything!
Qirong hit his palm with his fist and said excitedly: "Sister, you are right! I will reply to my mother immediately!"
Although the fairy Lu Wei did not say anything, she also looked at her with her big eyes shining.
Qin Ruqing's heart trembled when she received the solid admiration from the two people opposite.
In other words, this is completely a passive skill that has been trained since childhood to avoid the punishment of parents and teachers. Instead of being held accountable afterwards, it is better to take the initiative to report and strive for more impression points.
I didn't expect Qirong and the third sister to be so innocent. This makes me look very slippery and capable.
No, I am also very pure (this
