Chapter 1343 The Mysterious Jade Indeed!

Fang Qiu remained in the forest.

He watched the group of young people from a distance and waited for them to leave safely.

Over there…

The group of young people went back the same way they came. All sorts of feelings welled up in their hearts and showed on their faces. Though still in a state of shock, they felt lucky. In addition, this exciting experience was also a pleasant surprise.

“That was a close call. It was too dangerous just now!”

“That’s right. If not for that person… The consequences would be too dreadful to imagine.”

“My hands and feet are still trembling.”

“But who exactly was that person just now?”

“He was amazing! How could he withstand the tremendous impact brought by the huge rock?”

“So, he might have supernatural powers!”

“Alas! Why did I leave? Why didn’t I kneel and beg to be his disciple? If I learn his supernatural powers, I won’t fear anything dangerous.”

When they talked about this…

Everyone immediately looked back but couldn’t find Fang Qiu anywhere.

“Oh, I’ve lost such a great opportunity.”

One of the women sighed bitterly. Then she turned around and stared at the young man who could do calculations on his fingers and said, “Thank you for saving me just now. Without that man, you would have died when you tried to save me. Thank goodness we are all alive. But I was touched by your brave decision at that moment.”

“Oh, please.”

The young man quickly reached out his hand and signed to her to stop and said, “I brought you into the deep forest. If I hadn’t saved you, I would have been blamed to death after I came out of the mountain. So don’t be so touched. Let’s pretend nothing happened.”

The woman was taken aback when she heard this. Immediately, she shook her head and turned around, and paid no further attention to him thereafter.

Aside…

Another lady who wore glasses and held an archaeological notebook overheard their conversation. She couldn’t help sniggering and said. “See? That is why you are still single!”

“Maybe, the woman I like is actually you. Aren’t you afraid I would say that?”

The young man replied with a grin.

“You…”

The girl’s cheeks turned red. She immediately turned around to catch up with the woman in front.

“Haha!”

The rest of the boys burst out laughing.

“By the way.”

One of the men patted the young man on the shoulder and asked, “What did the mysterious master say to you just now? I remember you answered him. Are there any meridians in your body that haven’t been stimulated?”

“I finally know why your behavior was a little strange. You are only fond of archaeology and history. Besides, you like to do calculations on your fingers and tell people’s fortunes. Think about it. How could any archaeologist do his job by predicting with his fingers?”

“That mysterious master must have taken a fancy to you. Who knows, he might come to find you in the future and invite you to be his disciple. If you become a cultivator, will we still be friends?”

The young man heard these questions.

“Forget about those fantastic ideas.”

The young man couldn’t help giving a wry smile and said, “He just said something about a few ancient measurement units, and nothing else.”

“Measurement units? Are you kidding?”

“A mysterious master popped up and saved our lives. How could he merely talk about a few ancient measurement units to you? Don’t you want to tell us the truth? But please don’t make up such a poor excuse.”

“Yeah, I don’t believe it anyway.”

They all shook their heads in disbelief.

The young man was rendered speechless.

But he did not know how to explain it to everyone.

What he had just heard was indeed about ancient measuring units. However, few in modern times could understand these terms, including archaeology professors. He knew these items because his ancestors passed the knowledge to him. Therefore, he wondered how the mysterious master knew about these measurement units.

“Right.”

Suddenly, one of them patted the young man on the shoulder and said, “Since you can understand what he’s talking about, why didn’t you take the opportunity to take him as your master just now? Aren’t you a martial arts fan? You have always dreamed of going deep into the mountains to encounter great masters and instructors, right? The mysterious person just now seemed to be a real master!”

“Oh, don’t talk about that anymore.”

The young man smiled wryly and said, “I regretted it. Finally, the two girls made me feel better. Why are you bringing this up again? I’m like Lord Ye, who claimed to be fond of dragons but was scared out of his wits when a real one appeared. When I suddenly saw a chance to realize my dream, I felt it was unreal and even a little afraid deep down!”

As soon as he said that…

Everyone burst into laughter.

The accident struck terror into their hearts. But now, they felt much less stressed.

Behind them…

Fang Qiu didn’t miss a word of their conversation.

“You like martial arts?”

Looking at the young man’s back, Fang Qiu smiled.

Then, he continued to trail them secretly.

At last, the group returned to a road that led out of the mountain safely. Only then did Fang Qiu turn around to leave.

He went back to the forest.

At once, Fang Qiu released his Divine Consciousness and zipped to where the abnormal fluctuation of Qi of Heaven and Earth occurred.

He searched around on the way.

However, after waiting for a long time, nothing unusual happened again.

He approached his final destination.

After searching around, Fang Qiu couldn’t find the place with the unusual fluctuations of the Qi of Heaven and Earth. He could only wait quietly.

After half an hour…

“It’s coming.”

Fang Qiu remained still. Suddenly, he turned his head and looked at the open space on the top of the mountain some 30 meters behind him.

He had caught it.

Just now, an abnormal fluctuation of the Qi of Heaven and Earth happened there. Although it vanished in a flash, Fang Qiu had felt it.

He readied himself.

Fang Qiu immediately rushed over.

When he got closer.

Fang Qiu found that the terrain here was a little strange. There were four thick trees in the north, south, east, and west. Within the square formed by the four big trees was a flat, open mountain space without any weeds.

“There are no Heaven and Earth Treasures. Nothing.”

After looking around, Fang Qiu suddenly became thrilled.

From the current situation, he could tell…

This place could very likely be an ancient ruin!

With a sudden inspiration…

Fang Qiu waved his right hand and immediately attracted a pile of thumb-sized stones from all directions. Then, with his internal Qi, he shot the stones in his palm in all directions, attempting to activate the relic gate.

In the end…

The rocks flew far away but stirred up nothing.

“Something’s not right!”

Fang Qiu’s eyebrows shot up.

“Usually, the relic gate should be here!

“But why did nothing happen after I launched these stones?”

He was utterly bewildered.

Fang Qiu lowered his head to look at the ground under him.

“I won’t spend too much time on that.”

With a stir of his mind, Fang Qiu immediately activated his internal Qi and began digging with his bare hands.

He knew that…

If an ancient relic was here, the mysterious jade stones he needed badly must be underground. As for whether he could enter the ancient relic, it was not so important.

Therefore, he didn’t spend too much time searching for the relic gate. It would be more efficient for him to dig right now. Soon, he would know if there were any jade stones underground!

Eventually…

Fang Qiu uncovered some jade pieces.

He was instantly delighted.

He quickly sensed around and found a lot of mysterious jade stones in the mountain.

“I discovered a storehouse of this precious jade!

“With these jade stones, I don’t have to worry about the growth speed of medicinal herbs!”

“Let me take a look at their quality first.”

Fang Qiu reached out and broke off a bit of jade, ready to do a careful check on the quality of the jade.

But just as he picked two pieces of jade and was about to examine them closely…

The surroundings around Fang Qiu suddenly changed.

The mountain forest was gone!

The jade vanished too.

What appeared in front of him was a brand new scene.

He faced a clear stream between two lofty mountains.

In the distance was a very high waterfall. Fang Qiu watched the magnificent waterfall cascading down the mountainside, bringing about a faint mist that hovered over it. There was a round pond at the foot of the waterfall. The water flowed out from a gap in the pond. It ran above the gravel, extending from there to Fang Qiu’s feet.

He squatted down to check it.

This stream of water was lukewarm. It was covered with a layer of faint white mist that contained thick Qi of Heaven and Earth.

He searched around…

In his view, two areas of long, flat grassland stretched from the tall mountains more than ten meters away. The two towering mountains on both sides looked bare. Except for the green grass, there was nothing.

This scene made him think of the wide open spaces of the prairies.

“Huh?”

Fang Qiu took a closer look and suddenly became confused.

“Why aren’t there any traces of the people left in this relic?”

Fang Qiu thought of this.

Unhesitatingly, he flew up and circled fast around this place, only to see an area of open grassland. Except for that, he noticed nothing unusual.

“This is… a wild relic?”

Fang Qiu was shocked.

There was no trace of any human presence. It meant no one had ever entered the relic. But since no one had ever been here, how did this relic come into being?

“A jade… relic?”

Fang Qiu’s dark eyebrows lifted in surprise. He came up with one possible explanation and murmured, “Could it be… This relic was not created by human beings. Instead, the existence of the jade mine naturally generated such a place similar to an illusion. Those ancient sages did not create the veritable fairyland. They just found this space and learned how to use it.”

With this in mind…

Fang Qiu nodded in his heart.

The wild relic before him looked authentic. In this case, everything might be the same as he had guessed.

While thinking about it, Fang Qiu began to wander around.

“Hm?”

When he approached the waterfall, Fang Qiu was surprised to spot many spiritual herbs growing around the pond under the impressive waterfall.

Notably, the Qi of Heaven and Earth here was much richer than elsewhere.

The Qi of Heaven and Earth in the entire relic was already abundant. Therefore, Fang Qiu had never expected the Qi of Heaven and Earth near the waterfall to be so concentrated.

No wonder there were so many spiritual herbs here.

He carefully landed among them.

After careful observation, Fang Qiu confirmed that the Qi of Heaven and Earth in these spiritual herbs was intense. In this respect, these herbs were as good as Earth Treasures.

“These spiritual herbs are just right for the brothers.”

Fang Qiu nodded happily in his heart. After confirming that it was a wild relic, he began to look for a way to leave.

In the end…

In a natural cave behind the waterfall, he found a rock… the mechanism to get out of the relic.

As he pressed the stone, the scenery before Fang Qiu changed, and the relic disappeared.

And he was now in…

He was still standing among the four big trees with nothing else around him. The ground he had excavated and the jade mine were still under his feet!
