Tu Nian and Song Chengming were lucky. When they returned to the cave, the talisman left by Tu Nian was still working.
After making sure no one else had discovered this place, Song Chengming suddenly became nervous again. He turned his head and asked Tu Nian, "Should I take the talisman and go in to explore?"
After what just happened, the originally cautious Tu Nian became more resolute. He casually took out two diamond talismans and stuck them on himself and him, saying firmly, "The night is long and dreams are many. Let's go in first and talk later."
With the Vajra Talisman on hand, the two men's confidence instantly increased a lot. Song Chengming took the lead and entered the cave with the lighting talisman lit.
A quarter of an hour later.
Looking at the empty stone wall before him, Song Chengming realized that this was the end of the cave. He asked suspiciously, "Perhaps we have come to the wrong place. The source of pure fire should be somewhere else nearby?"
"That shouldn't be the case. The magic led me to this place."
Tu Nian was also very puzzled. He frowned and walked forward to feel around on the stone wall, but in the end he couldn't find any mechanism or secret room. It turned out that this was just a stone wall.
Moreover, she and Song Chengming had searched carefully along the way, but they didn't see any signs of lava anywhere.
Tu Nian looked around in confusion, and finally raised his head to look at the top of the cave. "Could it be that the magic means that we should go to the top of the mountain?"
Song Cheng, who had come up empty-handed, was clearly a bit disheartened. "Anyway, there's no treasure in this damn place. Either we go up to the top of the mountain and take a look, or you use magic to explore it again. Either way, it's better than just standing here in a daze."
Hearing that he was a little depressed, Tu Nian also knew that the most likely problem was that he was not proficient in the magic, so he used the magic again without saying a word.
Who would have thought that this time it was okay? When he cast the spell again, Tu Nian discovered that the source of pure fire that he could clearly feel from miles away before could not be felt at all at this close distance.
Then she tried it a few more times unwillingly, but the result was still the same. She had no choice but to tell Song Chengming the whole story.
"But the spell used at the beginning is exactly the same as the one used now."
Tu Nian said with a pout.
She really felt that the beginning was not a mistake. It couldn't be that a low-probability event would happen to her with a high probability, right?
Besides, she is a professionally certified koi, how could so many bad things happen to her in one day?
If it were all just luck, she would still believe it at least a little.
Song Chengming never dwelled on trivial matters. He had complained a bit earlier, but now he was calm and composed. He shrugged and said, "If there's nothing, then there's nothing. A big pie like this would probably hurt a lot. Let's just dig up all the spiritual plants on Tianmu Ridge. There's nothing to worry about."
Having said that, Tu Nian's frown was still refusing to loosen, "I always feel like something is wrong."
Song Chengming handled his emotions very skillfully. After a brief moment of loss, he grabbed her and walked out of the cave. "There are so many things wrong. Thinking about them one by one will tire you to death. Stop thinking about it now and let's go dig some wild vegetables."
…
The trial at Tianmu Ridge lasted for three full days.
No matter how cautious a bandit is, he would probably not be able to tolerate being trapped in his hiding place for three days given his bandit personality.
So after the first and second days of investigation and trial runs, from the third day onwards, large numbers of bandits who could not stand the loneliness began to appear in groups in Tianmu Ridge.
The new disciples of the Jixue and Bihai sects took this opportunity to show their special abilities. With the secret help of their senior brothers and sisters, they strangled and captured the prisoners alive, used threats of force and persuaded them with reason, using both civil and military means.
Not only did they wipe out all the bandits roaming around Tianmu Mountain at the cost of minimal casualties, they also found out many of the bandits' hiding places and caught all the remaining bandits in the dark of Tianmu Mountain, completely solving the problem of numerous bandits in Tianmu Mountain.
As a result, the reputation of the Jixue and Bihai sects was passed on by word of mouth among many merchants who applauded them, and spread throughout the world of immortal cultivation through the trade routes.
While achieving a comprehensive victory on the big front, Tu Nian and Song Chengming seized every available moment to dig up all the rare spiritual plants on Tianmu Ridge that were over a hundred years old.
After three days, the two of them made a lot of money. It was a perfect operation that achieved huge breakthroughs in small aspects.
In this context of success in both big and small aspects, there is only one thing worth discussing by Tu Nian.
That is, when Tu Nian happily returned to her residence and planned to share her gains of the past three days with Bo Qiu, she unexpectedly found that she could not enter her room.
As expected, when she turned around, she found that the door of Bo Qiu next door was still open. This was a gesture of trying to cover up one's own guilt, obviously telling her: I did it, either you come to me to discuss it, or you stay outside and freeze.
Tu Nian found his naivety amusing, but her mind couldn't help but recall what Song Chengming had said to her before the trial. She was confused for a moment and ended up staying outside the room for half an hour.
Correspondingly, Bo Qiu eavesdropped on her pacing in the next room for half an hour. Later, he couldn't bear it anymore and threw out the door with a burst of spiritual power.
Tu Nian's feet were almost numb from squatting outside the door. Just as she was in a daze, a red light flashed before her eyes. Before she could react, she was swept up by a force, and floated into Bo Qiu's room in a twist, and then fell on the floor in front of his bed.
"hiss--"
Tu Nian gasped in pain and quickly got up from the ground. He frowned at Bo Qiu, who was lying on the mattress leisurely, and said, "Damn it, who taught you to treat a girl like this? A straight-laced monster like you will never get married!"
"You are wrong. It is said that demons don't care about these things. Besides,"
Bo Qiu opened his fox eyes and looked at her with a hint of meaning in his eyes. "Even if you are polite, someone will refuse to take it to heart and pretend to be stupid. So what?"
Tu Nian was a straightforward person, and he was annoyed by his beating around the bush and speaking in a sarcastic tone. He crossed his arms and said, "Brother, can't you just speak plainly? Why are you playing tricks on me?"
"vernacular?"
Bo Qiu chuckled and looked at her with a frown, "You haven't sent a single letter back in three days. Why are you still listening to nonsense? Isn't it better to stay outside and listen to the sweet talk of a wild man?"
"Stop, stop—"
He gave her goosebumps all over her body. Tu Nian decisively surrendered and reached out to test his temperature with a subtle expression. "Did you take the wrong medicine?"
Seeing that she was still pretending to be stupid, Bo Qiu raised the end of his eyebrows, and a layer of invisible air suddenly enveloped him.
Without any warning, Tu Nian's hands were suddenly separated by the layer of air. He didn't know whether to stop or retract, and he fell into an awkward situation.
However, Bo Qiu did not seem to mean to embarrass her. He separated her hand and slowly closed his fox eyes.
"Nothing. I'm fine, and neither are you. Go back. Your door is probably open now."
