Chapter 39: Underground Treasure
Chapter 39: Underground Treasure
After walking along the stairs for about a minute, I finally reached the end of the stairs.
Looking at the many boxes piled up in the secret room, Liu Jingxue couldn't help swallowing.
"Tuanzi, help me scan and see how many boxes there are here and what's inside them."
After a while, Tuanzi's voice came, "Master, there are fifty boxes here.
Among them were 15 boxes of gold bars, 10 boxes of calligraphy and paintings, 15 boxes of antiques, and 10 boxes of various jewels and accessories.”
"With so many boxes, I'll be rich," Liu Jingxue said in surprise.
“It looks like a lot, but if you put them all out there, there aren’t that many.
Forget about the gold bars, other things are afraid of collision, so they are stored separately in small wooden boxes inside the big box.
For antiques, there are usually four or five in a box at most, and some boxes only have one or two.
If the jewelry is in sets, a large box can only hold three sets at most." Tuanzi said nonchalantly.
It followed its first master and saw many good things in the world of cultivation, so it really didn't take these so-called good things in the mortal world seriously.
“That’s not a small amount.
Tuanzi, you should understand the feeling of a poor person who suddenly becomes rich.
I am just a poor loser, and suddenly I see all these good things, shouldn’t I be happy? "
“Master, immortal cultivators pay attention to cause and effect.
Although the original owner said that everything is for you, do you really intend to keep it all for yourself and not give anything to your uncle's family?"
Liu Jingxue said, "Let's take a look.
Although it seems that my uncle's family is quite nice to me now, people's hearts are unpredictable and you can't guarantee that they won't change in the future.
I am not one to repay evil with kindness.
If they continue to treat me well, I will definitely share these things with them.
After all, it is something passed down from their ancestors and it is a part of theirs.
But if they treat me badly in the future, I will accept all these things with a smile."
“Master, this idea is correct.
People who practice cultivation pay the most attention to cultivating their mind. If the mind is free of obstacles, then all things will be accessible.
Just follow your heart.”
Feeling a little short of breath in this basement, Liu Jingxue put everything into the space and said to Tuanzi excitedly,
“I don’t know what kind of gains we will get from the other three treasure sites in Xinshi.
According to the memories left by the original owner, the treasure hidden under the house is the second largest among the several treasures hidden in Xinshi.
The second largest treasure trove has fifty boxes, and I don’t know how many treasures the largest one has.”
"According to the original owner, there are also a few scattered around other cities. It seems I have to find a chance to visit those cities in the future."
Liu Jingxue looked at the secret room and decided to find a way to fill it up.
After all, this house will be rented to other people for many years. It would be bad if they found this place and had some associations.
"Tuanzi, do you have any good ideas for filling this secret room?
Do you really want me to go outside and get some soil from the mountain to fill it in?"
"It took me a lot of effort to dig the rocks and soil down from the mountain.
The most important point is that there will still be a lot of gaps, and it won't be a perfect fit." Liu Jingxue said worriedly.
“This is easy to solve, it’s just a matter of a talisman.
When the master goes out later, use this talisman to ensure that this secret room is filled tightly."
A talisman appeared in front of Liu Jingxue, and Tuanzi also conveyed the method of using the talisman to her mind.
Picking up the talisman floating in the air, Liu Jingxue asked, "What if I want to activate this secret room again in the future?
After all, if we want to distribute the things to my uncle's family later, this secret room is the best place to hide the treasures."
“That’s easy, we can just take away the filling soil when the time comes.
By that time, when the master has cultivated to a higher level and can leave his body with his consciousness, he can easily control the range of space collection with his consciousness.
In this way, the soil used for filling can be collected accurately and the secret room can be restored in an instant."
"Then what level do I need to cultivate to be able to achieve the state of consciousness leaving the body?"
"Fourth level of Qi training."
Liu Jingxue started to think about it in her mind.
I am now almost at the second level of Qi training. It is now August and almost September of 70. If the movement ended in 8 and the college entrance examination was resumed in this time and space, then there are still 9 years left.
By that time, I should have reached the fourth level of Qi training.
If I work harder in my cultivation, based on my current speed, I might be able to reach the fourth level of Qi training next year.
Thinking of this, Liu Jingxue no longer hesitated, turned around and began to climb up the stairs.
When she was almost at the end of the stairs and out of the cave, she turned around and used the talisman as Tuanzi had taught her.
Liu Jingxue stood there, shining the flashlight at her feet, waiting quietly.
A magical scene happened. She watched the steps under her feet being covered with mud.
No one knew where the mud came from, it seemed to appear out of thin air and completely covered the open space underneath.
Worried that she would be covered in mud if she didn't get out quickly, Liu Jingxue quickened her pace and walked up the last few steps.
After the hole is completely filled, the soil stops rising.
Liu Jingxue activated the mechanism and restored the room, then destroyed the mechanism according to the memories left by the original owner.
This is to prevent people living here in the future from accidentally triggering the mechanism.
Although the secret room has been filled with mud now, it is better to avoid trouble and not let anyone discover the mechanism.
After returning to her room, Liu Jingxue hurried back to the space to check the treasures she had just received.
He used his mind to open all the boxes and discovered that except for the box of gold bars, the other large boxes were indeed packed separately in boxes.
Liu Jingxue really didn't know much about antiques, calligraphy and paintings, so she asked Tuanzi, "Tuanzi, you said before that you judge the age of antiques, calligraphy and paintings by the amount of spiritual energy.
So are these antiques, calligraphy and paintings old?
And the jewelry and accessories are mostly of this kind."
“Some are from a long time ago, and some are from a short time ago. As for their specific value, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until they are discovered and have someone come to appraise them.
As for jewelry, most of them are in sets, mostly made of jade.
Occasionally there are gold ornaments mixed in. Apart from other things, it is the craftsmanship that is rare in the mortal world to find such a high level of casting skills. "
“It seems that in the future, it will definitely be very valuable.
This is really a fortune.”
“After the reform and opening up, I will definitely stock up more houses.
Especially for the first-tier cities at the back, be sure to stock up more.
If I could stock up on a few courtyard houses in Beijing, I would be totally satisfied.
By then, I will be a wealthy woman just by the monthly rent."
Thinking of the wonderful life in the future, Liu Jingxue almost drooled.
