The Greatest Village Doctor In The World-Chapter 168: Sure Enough, There’s a Treasure
Ling Feng glanced at her: "Bring me my backpack."
"Oh."
Understanding his intention, Xun Qianqian hurriedly ran back with excitement and returned shortly.
Ling Feng took out a folding shovel from his bag and began to dig into the ground.
"Is the treasure buried underneath here?" Xun Qianqian quickly asked when she saw this.
"I’m just guessing, let’s dig and find out," Ling Feng continued digging as he spoke.
The folding shovel wasn’t large, so the digging process wasn’t fast, and after more than ten minutes, they still hadn’t unearthed anything special.
Fortunately, all they were digging up was soil, without any hard rocks obstructing them. As Ling Feng dug, a strong premonition rose in his heart—there must be something beneath!
Thus, he kept on digging, and the pit on the ground grew larger and larger.
Xun Qianqian was initially very excited, but after waiting for so long without finding anything, her patience wore out.
So she sat aside, bored, and couldn’t help asking: "How much longer are you planning to dig?"
"I don’t know, until I see something!" Ling Feng replied.
"You will keep digging if you keep seeing nothing?" Xun Qianqian continued to ask.
"That’s right!"
Xun Qianqian pursed her lips: "Get out of here, only a fool would do that!"
Ling Feng looked up with a smile: "I am a fool, so what?"
As his words fell, a metallic ’ding’ sounded from the folding shovel as it struck a hard object!
Both of them lost the mood to bicker and were simultaneously stunned!
Ling Feng hurriedly cleared away the soil, and soon the bottom of the pit revealed a metal plate!
"Oh my gosh, there really is something!" Xun Qianqian leaned in close, her eyes wide.
She was so close that her body pressed against Ling Feng’s shoulder, and her breath hit his face as she spoke.
As Ling Feng turned around, his mouth almost touched Xun Qianqian’s face, so he couldn’t help but ask, "Why are you leaning in so close?"
"Yo, you’re blushing? I’m just curious about what’s below!" Xun Qianqian replied.
"Who said I’m blushing, clearly it’s from exhaustion!"
Ling Feng glanced at her and bent his head down to probe for the seams of the metal plate with the sharp edge of the folding shovel, ready to pry it open.
Luckily, the metal plate wasn’t large, with dimensions only around thirty centimeters long and wide, and he quickly found the spot, then gently applied force!
"Squeak!"
The sound of metal scraping came, and the plate was pried open, revealing the space below.
"This...."
Despite having envisioned several possibilities, they had never expected to find a bundle of bamboo slips in that not-so-large space!
"What is it?" Xun Qianqian asked, sticking close to Ling Feng’s ear.
"I don’t know either."
Ling Feng shook his head helplessly and crouched down to take out the bamboo slips. He discovered nothing else beneath the metal plate except this item.
At the same time, he felt a warmth in his palm, followed by a warm current rushing into his mind instantly, and a loud rumble exploded in his head!
By the time he regained his senses, the bamboo slips in his palm had vanished, leaving behind only a clump of black powder!
Xun Qianqian’s eyes were wide: "Damn! Just a few rotten strips of bamboo, and they even crumbled to pieces!"
Ling Feng already knew what he had obtained from the information in his brain, and turned his head to look at her, "Yeah, really bad luck, this trip turned out to be a waste of time!"
"What is that plank? Take it out and let’s have a look, it might be worth a lot of money!" Xun Qianqian saw his disappointed face and thus consoled him.
"Let me see."
Ling Feng bent down to pick up the metal plate, glanced at it twice, and then threw it aside carelessly, "Useless, just an ordinary iron plate."
Xun Qianqian squatted down to take a look and, confirming it wasn’t anything valuable, reluctantly gave up the thought, then turned to Ling Feng, "What a pity, it would have been great if it had been buried with gold, silver, and jewels."
Ling Feng chuckled inwardly, What I obtained is worth much more than gold or silver, it’s just that I can’t tell you!
Just now, a barrage of noise had exploded in his mind, and he had absorbed the text recorded on the bamboo slips all at once.
Therefore, he was well aware that his gains this time were, in fact, substantial, as it turned out to be a set of Cultivation Technique!
He had experienced the magical abilities of the Classic of the Divine Farmer long ago, so this Cultivation Technique was definitely not ordinary, and he would definitely study it thoroughly once he returned, as it was bound to be of great use!
Seeing the disappointed look on Xun Qianqian’s face, he smiled and comforted, "It’s okay, I was prepared for it before coming, not finding anything doesn’t matter much."
"Alright, then shall we continue? I see there are several spots on your map," Xun Qianqian asked.
Ling Feng hesitated for a moment, "Do you know the location of the second point?"
"Just over the mountain ridge in front, that’s the Mount Jiuhua scenic area. I’ve been there a few times, but I’m not as familiar with it as I am with this side," Xun Qianqian pointed to the distance.
"Oh, then let’s not go there now, we’ll go searching when we have time later," Ling Feng nodded.
"You’re giving up just like that? What if the next place has good stuff?" Xun Qianqian said.
Ling Feng knew what this girl was thinking just by looking into her eyes.
She was egging him on to keep searching, clearly thinking that they had only been out for a day and she hadn’t earned enough commission!
So after laughing, "Alright then, let’s go take a look at the next spot!"
"Good!"
Xun Qianqian immediately became excited and turned around to pack up their stuff.
Ling Feng filled in the dirt pit, and with an equally excited mood, he shouldered his belongings and left.
By evening, the two of them had already entered the Mount Jiuhua scenic area.
As the sky turned dark again without finding a suitable cave to stay in, they had no choice but to sleep outdoors.
Fortunately, it was not yet autumn, and the night temperature was not unbearable.
But since they had entered the scenic area, they couldn’t light a fire at will, and if they did light one, it would be easy for the management staff to find out, which would be quite troublesome.
So, after eating some dry food they had brought, they lay down to rest.
Only after hearing Xun Qianqian’s snoring did Ling Feng turn over and sit up.
"Dragon Soar Technique!"
With eyes closed, images filled with text appeared in his mind, and Ling Feng began to practice from the very beginning.
Since it was directly absorbed by his brain, the Cultivation Technique had already integrated into his body, so there was no need to read like reading from a book, which would have been much more strenuous.
After a short while, Ling Feng realized the magic of this Cultivation Technique and inwardly exclaimed in amazement, "Awesome!"
The Dragon Soar Technique only had three layers, the first layer for body refining, after which the cultivator’s body could reach the strength of iron bones and copper skin.
The Second Layer refined speed, and upon completion, one would move like the wind, as swift as lightning.
As for the third layer, it was rather astonishing; according to the description in the Technique, after mastering it, the cultivator would have the ability to traverse the earth and ascend the heavens!
As for the exact means of achieving such feats, the beginning of the Technique did not elaborate further.
Ling Feng wasn’t in a hurry; mastering the first layer would already be quite impressive, and he believed there would no longer be anyone stronger than him in this world!
