Chapter 47: Method, Wealth, Companions, and Location! Storage Bag! Arriving at the Ghost Cave!
Four essentials for cultivation: Method, Wealth, Companions, and Location!
Method!
Han Li, inheriting from Han Tianzun, has no worries in this regard.
But "Wealth", which comes second to "Method", is somewhat lacking!
For this!
He did not let go of Shirley Yang's $200,000.
Now, the treasures belonging to the Kingdom of Jingjue are right in front of him.
Han Li couldn't possibly let this go for his own path of cultivation!
Of course!
These are all artifacts!
He could never, for the sake of wealth, circulate or sell these nearly priceless artifacts!
Instead, he planned to establish a private museum, charge admission for exhibitions, and generate a steady stream of long-term income!
Shirley Yang and Lao Hu exchanged a glance, not finding it strange.
They had encountered no danger along the way, so it was time to go back and fetch the others.
And…
No one worried about Han Li encountering any mishaps!
The two headed back.
Han Li patted the gray cloth bag hanging from his waist. A white glow erupted from within the bag!
It enveloped the gold, silver, and jade on the ground, and those objects rapidly shrank within the white light. Once they reached a certain size, they were sucked into the bag!
In the blink of an eye, the original mountain of gold and silver had vanished!
"Lao Hu, you're telling the truth, there really is a mountain of gold and silver ahead?"
The passageway.
The Fatty was incredibly excited, his lips almost reaching his ears.
He had been reluctant to come in earlier because he had found a gold coin in the underground river!
He had thought he had snagged a lucky break.
But unexpectedly, Lao Hu and Shirley Yang returned with a 'great surprise'!
"Why would I lie to you?"
Lao Hu knew the Fatty's character and shook his head with a wry smile.
"If it's true, then it's not just the Queen of Jingjue's burial goods, but also the accumulated wealth of the entire Kingdom of Jingjue for many years. It's a huge discovery for the entire archaeological world!"
"Moreover, those antiques, jade objects, if they have patterns or inscriptions from the Ghost Cave, will be even more beneficial for people's understanding of the culture of Jingjue!"
On the other side, Professor Chen was also excited, his voice full of passion.
Once again, the group returned to the broken platform in an atmosphere of excitement and joy.
The Fatty, unable to contain himself, even threw his flashlight down, wanting to see the mountain of gold and silver...
Before Lao Hu could scold the Fatty for his recklessness.
Clang!
The flashlight fell on the empty ground, echoing a crisp sound!
Under the strong light!
There was no mountain of gold and silver, no jewels or jade… nothing!
"No… Lao Hu, I… how come I can't see anything? Am I seeing things?!"
The Fatty's eyes glazed over, thinking there was something wrong with his eyes. He rubbed them vigorously.
"Impossible, how could it be gone?"
Lao Hu was also completely baffled by this change.
"Lao Hu, you wouldn't be deliberately playing a trick on me, would you?"
The Fatty was getting impatient.
"Yeah, Little Hu!"
Professor Chen couldn't hold back either, demanding an explanation.
"I… I really didn't lie!"
Lao Hu spread his hands, quickly explaining, and finally looked at Shirley Yang and Han Li: "If you don't believe me, ask Miss Yang and Han Xiaogong."
"Lao Hu didn't lie, we really did see a mountain of precious treasures just now!"
Shirley Yang's brows furrowed.
She looked suspiciously at Han Li, who had been left alone here just now.
"Then why is it gone now?"
The Fatty was speechless: "It can't be that Han Xiaogong stayed here and then moved everything all by himself in such a short time, can it?!"
Hearing this, Lao Hu rolled his eyes: "Fatty, don't talk nonsense. Do you think there are ten or eight gold coins and jewels? Han Xiaogong only has a backpack, how could he fit it all?"
"Han Xiaogong, were you here just now, did you notice anything strange?"
In the end, Lao Hu could only ask.
Facing everyone's gaze, Han Li smiled faintly: "Time will tell. Let's continue moving now."
He finished speaking.
Then he leaped down!
Before everyone could recover from their shock, they could see Han Li's safe landing in the light!
"Hiss!"
Lao Hu suddenly gasped.
"What's wrong, Lao Hu?"
The Fatty asked unconsciously.
"Effortless movement!"
Shirley Yang, standing beside him, stared at Han Li's back below, her voice devoid of emotion:
"Falling from such a height, a normal person wouldn't be killed, but they'd at least break their leg..."
"And even the flashlight made a huge noise when it fell!"
"But did you hear any sound of a landing just now?"
Hearing this, the Fatty finally realized with a shout: "I understand… Han Xiaogong knows the legendary 'Lightness Skill'?!"
As they descended the rope ladder.
The Fatty whispered in Lao Hu's ear.
If they could become Han Xiaogong's disciples and learn this 'Lightness Skill', then they would be able to easily navigate tombs in the future, wouldn't they?
Lao Hu's face changed upon hearing this, immediately stopping the Fatty from talking about being tomb raiders.
He said that Shirley Yang had already suspected the two of being grave robbers!
As he spoke, he glanced at Han Li again...
Because he remembered Shirley Yang's previous guess.
If Han Li truly possessed some extraordinary abilities like the Queen of Jingjue, it was very possible that he had moved all the previous treasures away!
There were more and more suspicious points about Han Xiaogong.
Lao Hu thought this way, feeling fortunate that he had made friends with him before.
The group groped their way forward. All around them were black rock formations, seemingly entering the belly of the Zagra Mountain!
This cave was too large, with black rock formations above and around it.
This was a cliff, with a round hole below, bottomless!
A strong and dark oppressive feeling, like a gust of wind from the bottom of the hole, made people afraid to look down!
If you looked any further, your heart might be disturbed and you would involuntarily jump down!
"This is it..."
Han Li heard Shirley Yang whispering beside him.
He saw her tilt her head up, looking towards the center above...
There was a stone beam suspended in the air.
The stone beam was thin and long, extending out from the cliff and just hanging above the cave.
The most important thing was that at the end of the stone beam, there was a piece of giant wood.
The wood was over two meters in diameter, like a section of a large tree trunk, directly cut off in this section.
It hadn't been processed in any way, the branches were still on the trunk, and even some green leaves were growing.
Dozens of large iron chains were tied to the trunk, connecting to the stone beam, securing the giant wood to the ground.
What was even more peculiar was that a huge green flower was growing on this piece of wood.
The flower was the size of a large water bucket, with a small mouth and a large belly, its petals curled together, emerald green throughout.
Surrounding it were large patches of blood-red leaves, rooted on the wood, their vines tightly wrapping around the wood along with the large iron chains!
