The stone walls of the chamber emitted a faint glow in the darkness. Ye Ran curiously stepped closer to take a look.
"What are these things? Why are they glowing?"
Is it the legendary luminous pearl?
Lu Yi smiled, stepped forward, and explained to her, "A luminous pearl is a very rare type of jewel."
In ancient times, it was not called the Night-Shining Pearl, but rather "Sui Pearl", "Hanging Thorn", "Bright Moon Pearl", etc.
The luminous pearl was originally formed from some luminous substances on Earth over thousands or tens of thousands of years, starting from the initial eruption of volcanic magma and later geological movements, accumulating in the ore.
Therefore, luminous pearls are extremely rare, and any one of them is priceless. The most famous one is the one owned by Empress Dowager Cixi.
However, this isn't a luminous pearl; it's just fluorite. Although both can glow, their values are worlds apart…
Ye Ran clicked her tongue in admiration, "So that's how it is, no wonder it can glow..."
Lu Yi smiled at her, "However, it's not easy to get so much fluorite. Fluorite is very rare..."
Ye Ran proudly raised her head, "Of course! Look for yourself, my family has been passed down for so many generations!"
The two circled around and returned to the stone table. Having discovered something, Lu Yi let out a soft "Eh..."
Ye Ran looked at him in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Lu Yi didn't answer, but stepped forward and tapped the surface of the stone table...
Hearing the muffled thud, Lu Yi smiled knowingly...
Ye Ran watched Lu Yi's actions intently, "Did you discover anything?"
Lu Yi pointed it out to her, "Look, this table isn't made of one piece. There's a thin line running through the middle. It's not very noticeable, but it tells us something."
This stone table must have been pieced together; the middle piece...
It's probably hollow; there might be something inside...
Ye Ran curiously stepped forward to take a closer look and indeed found a thin line that she would not have been able to see without looking closely.
Ye Ran glanced at Lu Yi with a gleam in her eyes, then tapped it herself. "It really is! But how do I open it?"
Lu Yi reached under and around the table, and when he touched something, he smiled and pointed under the stone table, "It seems..."
The ancestors of the Bai family were very cautious! There's still one more step even now!
Understanding Lu Yi's meaning, Ye Ran pressed the blood-stained jade pendant back to the spot Lu Yi had indicated without saying a word.
As Ye Ran moved, the stone table began to tremble slowly, and then gradually moved to both sides...
After the stone table was split in two and moved aside, a dark hole was revealed...
Ye Ran and Lu Yi exchanged a speechless glance, both unable to suppress a smile...
Lu Yi covered the corner of his mouth with his hand, "This... truly a cunning rabbit with three burrows..."
Compared to your ancestors, Xu Qiang is nothing but a small fry..."
Ye Ran couldn't help but smile; she found her ancestors quite adorable.
However, although Ye Ran now finds them quite adorable, she knows in her heart that her ancestors must have put in a great deal of effort to create such meticulously designed layers of mechanisms...
All of this... is merely for the sake of continuing the family line, for the sake of the Bai family's descendants...
Faced with such a painstakingly thoughtful ancestor, Ye Ran felt a deep sense of awe and gratitude...
Using the light of their flashlights, the two carefully descended, only to find themselves in a completely different space below...
