Astonishing treasures, stalactite caves

Qin Dexin was looking for a few children. After hearing that they were not doing their jobs and not practicing to find treasures, she decided to find them and teach them a lesson.

Thinking of this, the communication jade slip suddenly lit up, and Qi Rong actually took the initiative to reply to her.

"Mom! We have made a major discovery here, which may be an astonishing treasure! Now, my younger sister, my third sister and I are all here, and we dare not act rashly. What should we do next? Please give us your instructions!"

Qin Dexin stepped on the flying sword and frowned fiercely.

What is this trick? Why doesn't this sound like something Qi Rong would say?

However, the words "amazing treasure" still made her concerned. Those kids were not the kind of people who would lie.

Qin Dexin's anger subsided a little, and she replied, "Tell me your location, then hide your body and wait for me to come."

After hearing the location, the flying sword turned and headed straight to the west cliff.

When she arrived, Qin Dexin held the flying sword and turned around for a long time before she found a narrow cave in the middle corner of the cliff. She leaned in and saw the three little ones lined up, standing with their hands down and waiting for her obediently.

Regarding the "amazing treasure", Qin Dexin was not in a hurry to look at it. His eyes slid across the three round heads and he said leisurely:

"Did Qirong come up with that message just now?"

The little fat ball raised his head in shock, looked at his own mother, and lowered his head again, thinking that he couldn't let his sister down, so he had to admit it. As a result, Qin Ruqing spoke before him: "Third aunt, it's me. I set the example for him, and Qirong copied it."

Qirong didn't say anything.

Qin Dexin snorted, and knew that it was this girl who did it!

Among the young people of the Qin family, Qirong is honest and straightforward, Lu Wei is stubborn, and only Qingqing is cunning and has many tricks.

Qin Ruqing gave a flattering smile to the stern-faced Qin Dexin, and pulled her inside, "Third aunt, this time it's an emergency, we're not lying, if you don't believe me, come and have a look, this place must be extraordinary!"

Then he dragged Qin Dexin to the small hole inside. Needless to say, Qin Dexin noticed the clue at a glance.

Such a rich spiritual energy! The spiritual energy content in the secret realm is already much higher than that in the outside world, and the spiritual energy in this small hole is even more, almost turning into substance!

Qin Dexin frowned and said, "You guys step back a little."

Watching Qin Ruqing and the others retreat, Qin Dexin swung a sword, and the hole that was originally as big as a washbasin was blown open and became as long and wide as a person.

Looking inside, it is not a "hole", but a very narrow crack that needs to be opened manually before walking.

"I will open the way in front, and you follow behind." Just as he was about to move, Qin Dexin thought of something and walked to the outermost hole, cut a round stone, and blocked the hole from the inside. Only

then did he feel relieved, raised his sword and said loudly: "Let's go!"

Qin Ruqing nodded secretly in his heart when he saw this. This is called professionalism!

Qin Dexin controlled the spirit sword like an automatic excavator, and easily dug out a road.

The four people walked in it, almost deep into the center of the cliff. They followed the sound of water dripping, and as they walked, the sound of water dripping became clearer and clearer, but it was still difficult to get close.

It was as if they were circling inside the cliff.

Seeing that they were about to reach the fork of another gap, and hearing the sound, they should go right, but Qin Ruqing felt something was wrong. She grabbed Qin Dexin's clothes, "Third aunt, I don't think we should go there."

The swinging spirit sword stopped, and Qin Dexin turned to look at her, "What do you mean?" "

I suspect that the source of the water drops is not getting closer to us, it may be getting farther and farther."

Qin Ruqing made a gesture, "Because the water flow is not necessarily a simple straight line, it may be above us or below us, and there are so many gaps here, and the sound of water drops may be heard anywhere, so it is inaccurate to judge the direction only by the sound of water drops."

Qin Dexin listened carefully, and did not despise her words because of Qin Ruqing's young age.

After listening, she said: "You are not unreasonable, but we are inside the cliff, it is easy to get lost. If we don't rely on the sound of water drops to determine the direction, what can we rely on?"

Qin Ruqing paused and said four words clearly: "Rely on spiritual energy."

"Spiritual energy?" Qin Dexin didn't understand.

The little fat ball's eyes lit up instantly, and then said: "Yes, rely on spiritual energy! Mom, you don't know, Qingqing is very sensitive to spiritual energy. It was Qingqing who discovered the abnormality of this cave before! She said that the concentration of spiritual energy here is different from other places, and then we opened the cave and found that it was true."

Lu Wei also nodded vigorously beside her to confirm that Qirong was right.

"So." Qin Dexin pondered for a moment, and did not pursue the question of why Qin Ruqing was so sensitive to spiritual energy. He just nodded and said, "Okay, Qingqing, you will lead the way from now on."

Qin Ruqing nodded and pointed to the right, "Here, the spiritual energy here is more concentrated."

So the team began to walk in the direction Qin Ruqing pointed. However, the further they went, the smaller the cracks in the cave became, and in the end they disappeared completely. When the cracks disappeared, they could only rely on Qin Dexin's manpower to dig.

Qin Dexin did not feel tired, but did this phenomenon also mean that they had taken the wrong path? After all, when they followed the sound before, they could at least see the cracks in the cave, but now, there was no crack at all.

Qin Dexin said nothing, but glanced at Qin Ruqing from the side, and found that she was calm and not panicked.

Then he looked at Qirong and Lu Wei, who were standing on either side of Qin Ruqing, observing the surroundings seriously, as if they were very confident in Qin Ruqing's judgment.

Qin Dexin didn't know that they had doubts before, but after three days of "treasure hunting", they found that Qin Ruqing's sensitivity to natural treasures was beyond imagination, and she could almost hit wherever she pointed. Wherever she said there was good stuff, there it was.

The trust and obedience of young people are actually very easy to establish. They believe in "fists" and "absolute strength". In the past few days, their belief in Qin Ruqing in certain aspects is even stronger than Qin Ruqing herself.

In the narrow cave, no one was talking, and it was very quiet. The only sounds were the sound of swords swinging and stones falling to the ground.

Suddenly, Qin Ruqing stopped, her fair face a little serious, and she said, "I feel it's in front."

In front. Qin Dexin said nothing, first summoning the spirit sword to fly back to his hand, then called the three little ones, "You follow me." Then holding the spirit sword, he swung and chopped up.

Everyone saw that the stone wall in front of them was like a thin layer of paper, and it shattered in an instant.

There was a loud bang, the sound of broken stones breaking, and dust flew up, blocking the view. When the dust dissipated, everyone looked forward, but their pupils shrank fiercely.

Everyone stood still.

They were in a narrow cave, and the sky was bright in front of them. What appeared in front of them was a magnificent underground cave world.

White stalactites hung from top to bottom, forming jade-like rock pillars. Looking around, there were hundreds of rock pillars.

The surrounding smoke was hazy, like a fairyland. After taking a deep breath, they found that the white smoke was actually materialized spiritual energy.

The three little ones, even Qin Ruqing, who knew that this place was unusual, stood there in a daze. Such a magnificent spectacle is hard to see once in a lifetime.

Qin Dexin took a deep breath and her face became unprecedentedly serious. She immediately took out a jade slip and said very quickly without saying anything: "I am in the cliff cave west of the station. There is an emergency concerning the whole clan. Come quickly!"

The jade slip flashed twice and then returned to silence. It can be seen that Qin Dexin sent a message to two people.

Qin Dexin's actions seemed to mean a lot of things. The little fat ball came back to his senses and said with a swallow in his throat: "Mom, where is this place?"

Qin Dexin exhaled slowly, as if only in this way could she speak smoothly. She looked at the stone pillars everywhere and said in a deep voice: "If my guess is correct, this should be the legendary stalactite cave."

She pointed to the things that looked like sprigs hanging above and said: "The spiritual milk dripping from the top will slowly solidify to form sprigs and stone pillars. If you collect the spiritual milk when it just drips, it will be an extremely gentle and precious treasure from heaven and earth, which has the effect of cleansing the meridians and marrow." "

Remember the spiritual milk tea that you take every day at the ancestor's place? It is made of this thing. Dilute the spiritual milk with water, and it is the raw material for refining the marrow-cleansing spiritual liquid."

If what Qin Dexin said before was not very impressive, the "spiritual milk tea" and "marrow-cleansing spiritual liquid" that came later would easily give people an intuitive impression.

Qin Ruqing and Qirong looked at each other in shock. Isn't this the elixir they need to take during the spiritual cultivation period?

Apart from other things, they know that the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid is very expensive. At the beginning, only four bottles were refined and the ancestor spent an eighth-grade magic weapon.

Qin Ruqing looked at the dozens of white stone pillars here and said in shock: "Doesn't that mean that these stone pillars are made of the raw materials of the marrow cleansing spiritual liquid in disguise? This is too wasteful!"

That's all money!

Qin Dexin hit Qin Ruqing on the head in a bad mood: "You kid, are you obsessed with money? The value of the Spiritual Milk Stone cannot be measured by simple spiritual gold and spiritual stones. How do you think the materialized spiritual energy here comes from? Cultivating here should be twice the result with half the effort."

Qin Ruqing was about to speak when he suddenly heard a loud noise, as if someone was moving the huge stone at the outermost cave entrance.

Qin Dexin raised the sword to his chest and his eyes became sharp. She said, "You three wait here first. It's best to find a place to hide. If you don't hear my voice, don't show up easily."

The three of them hid behind a huge spiritual milk stone pillar. Qin Luwei was a little worried: "Xiaowu, maybe someone is not from our Qin family."

Qin Ruqing's heart was beating fast. Even if someone came from the station, it wouldn't be so fast. But she comforted him, "No, the cave entrance is very hidden. Third aunt also sealed it from the inside with stones. Even if someone passes by, they can't find it here."

Qirong also nodded, "Yes! Don't be afraid, third sister."

Qin Luwei was not afraid, but she was not scared by this. No one found... Then how did they get here, if there is someone as sensitive as Xiaowu.

She silently hugged the sword tightly, and made up her mind that if the person who came back was not the third aunt, she would rush out first to attract the enemy's attention and let her younger brother and sister find a chance to escape.

The spirit cave was quiet for a while, and only the dripping sound of spirit milk could be heard.

Soon, a burst of hurried and chaotic footsteps came from the cave entrance. The three people got closer and closer, who was coming...

"Qi Rong, Qing Qing, Wei Wei, come out, the second elder is here!"

The second elder!

The three of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time. Qin Ruqing stood up first and walked over. Sure enough, she saw the second elder staring at this place in amazement. She wondered: "Second elder, didn't you go to the Lingshi Mine for duty? How come you came so quickly?"

The second elder looked at the spiritual milk and stone pillars here in amazement, and said without blinking: "Don't you know? This place is only the front and back of the mountain away from the Lingshi Mine."

Huh?

Qin Ruqing stuttered, "You mean, this place and the Lingshi Mine are actually on the same mountain?!"

Seeing the second elder nod, Qin Ruqing said, "The Lingshi Mine has been mined for several years, how come no one has discovered this place?"

The second elder was a little embarrassed, and soon said with a red face, "Do you think everyone has a dog nose like yours!" On the way here, Qin Dexin had already told the three people that they had discovered the abnormality here and reported it in time.

After establishing the scale of this place, the second elder could almost imagine how much change this place could bring to the Qin family. He wiped his face and asked worriedly: "Have you notified the Qin family? This matter is of great importance, and the ancestor should be asked to come."

Qin Dexin said unhappily: "Are you still worried about my work? I have notified the clan leader, and he should inform the ancestor. As for whether the ancestor will come, I don't know."

The second elder frowned, "Deming is so slow, I don't know when he will arrive."

Qin Ruqing stood aside and cleared his throat and coughed. That is to say, although you are the elder, you can't say in front of me that my father is a tortoise (although it is true), my father is the clan leader after all. The

second elder looked away with guilt.

Fortunately, Qin Deming never loses his composure at critical moments. He realized the urgency and importance of the matter from Qin Dexin's letter. After all, she used the four words "concerning the whole family".

Qin Deming thought that Qin Dexin was in danger of her life, and he did not dare to delay and reported it to the ancestor. After that, he hurried here with the ancestor.

After Qin Deming came here, he understood what Qin Dexin meant by the words "concerning the whole family".

Such a large-scale stalactite cave, isn't it "concerning the whole family"!

The ancestor was delighted and said three good words in a row, "Whoever discovered this place, the Qin family must reward her well!"

Qirong and Lu Wei both pointed their fingers at Qin Ruqing at the same time, "Ancestor, it's Qingqing."

Qin Dexin also nodded in affirmation. She said with a hint of surprise and doubt, "Qingqing seems to have an unusual sensitivity to spiritual energy. We were outside the cave before and almost got lost. It was Qingqing who helped us point out the direction based on the different levels of spiritual energy concentration."

The ancestor listened, but was not surprised. Instead, he showed a smile of understanding, "So that's how it is... Before, I didn't tell anyone except her parents that Qingqing cultivated a congenital great perfect body during the period of spiritual cultivation."

"Congenital great perfect!" Qin Dexin and the second elder said in unison.

The second elder suddenly realized, "So that's how it is. It's no wonder that this physique has an extraordinary affinity for spiritual energy and is almost not repelled by spiritual energy. In this way, it's not surprising that Qingqing can find this place by sensing spiritual energy." Seeing that

they spontaneously found the reason for her treasure hunting ability, Qin Ruqing silently lowered her head.

She was able to find this place, which was indeed the credit of her innate great perfection physique, but the front...ah, it's good that you think so, you have sorted out the logic yourself, and you don't have to explain it to you.

Everyone had their own thoughts, but Qin Deming seemed to have thought of something, and said in a low voice: "Ancestor, is it possible for such a large-scale stalactite to be generated..."

"Spiritual Milk Jadeite!" Qin Dexin suddenly realized, and then looked at the ancestor in surprise, "If there is really spiritual milk jadeite, then your injury..."

Qin Ruqing and the other three were a little confused, but they roughly understood that this place might give birth to something called 'Spiritual Milk Jadeite', which would be useful for the ancestor's injury.

The ancestor was not surprised, but sighed, "Let's look for it first."

Everyone turned around and came to the largest spiritual milk column in the center of the cave.

This column is about as thick as three adults hugging together. It is wide at both ends and thin in the middle, as if the spiritual milk at the top slowly drips and extends, and the spiritual milk dripping at the bottom gathers and pulls up, and finally condenses together.

Qin Ruqing sniffed and indeed felt that this stone pillar was a little unusual.

The ancestor said in a deep voice: "Cut it from the thinnest part in the middle. If there is chalcedony, then there is chalcedony. If there is no chalcedony... then the whole spirit cave will be gone."

Everyone's face became more solemn. Qin Dexin summoned her spirit sword and was about to step forward, but the ancestor stopped her.

"Cutting the rock pillar requires extremely precise spiritual energy control ability. If you are not careful, it is easy to cut the chalcedony. Let me do it."

Qin Dexin did not feel offended at all. The ancestor's peak was the foundation building, and his cultivation vision was much higher than hers. Naturally, she did whatever the ancestor said.

The ancestor summoned his own spiritual sword, which was slender and graceful. The ancestor held the sword and felt the center of the stone pillar for a while, but still couldn't make up his mind. Suddenly, he saw Qin Ruqing's voice, his eyebrows moved, and it was her turn.

"Qingqing, according to your feeling, if there is chalcedony, where do you think it will be?"

Qin Ruqing was also a little timid. Looking at the posture of the ancestor, she knew that chalcedony was an extremely precious and rare thing. If she pointed wrongly and let the ancestor cut the chalcedony, then...

But Qin Ruqing also knew that she was the only one here with an innate large and perfect body. At this juncture, she should take the responsibility.

She stopped arguing and put her hand on the stone pillar carefully, feeling it carefully. After a while, she opened her eyes and whispered, "Here!"

The ancestor raised his voice, "Are you sure?"

Qin Ruqing said loudly, "I am sure!"

The ancestor did not hesitate and cut a hole three inches above the part Qin Ruqing pointed.

After taking down the cut pillar, what lay before everyone was a pool of sparkling lake green.
