The two opened the curtain and entered the house, meeting Jin Ming Zhenren and his wife coming towards them.

Jin Ming Zhenren’s old face showed bitterness as he said, "I didn’t expect the Black Armored Divine Army to arrive early, now we can’t leave even if we want to."

Beside him, Ming Cai Zhenren said, "Don’t be disheartened, if the one who has come is truly the Formless Celestial Venerable from the Ancient Race, this might be our opportunity. Besides..."

She lowered her voice, "If there really is a treasure, who doesn’t give three parts and keep two, give half and swallow half? Isn’t that right, Friend Xiao Jiu?"

An Li thought for a moment and said, "Friend Ming Cai, I feel the waters here are very deep, if there’s a chance to escape, we should take it. No treasure or opportunity is more important than life."

Ming Cai Zhenren smiled and whispered, "Hasn’t Friend Xiao Jiu just come out to gain experience? How can one enter a mountain of treasures and return empty-handed? What if there’s a chance?"

Jin Ming Zhenren nodded in agreement then said, "Let’s go, let’s dig the tomb!"

The four walked out of the house.

The Profound Qi emitted by the Profound Crystal Snake Corpse refreshed all the cultivators.

The four each took out digging tools, found a piece of empty land, and began to dig.

...

The rumbling sound of digging was deafening.

The hills surrounding Ziwu Village had been largely pushed away. 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Song Yan and An Li worked laboriously with their backs to the sky and faces to the earth, busy for half the day, when Ming Cai Zhenren unexpectedly took out a melon shrouded in cold mist.

The four cut it open and each took two slices, munching on the flesh of the melon.

The melon was sweet and juicy, melting the moment it touched their mouths.

Wiping their sweat, the four chatted among themselves, feeling quite as if they were farmers taking a short break during the busy season in the fields.

Jin Ming Zhenren laughed and said it reminded him of the time before he practiced cultivation, when he was barefoot, helping his mother plant seedlings in the water fields, where from time to time loaches and small insects moved around, creating a soundscape that he quite missed.

Song Yan said that his family slaughtered pigs when he was young, and during the farming busy season, he often watched from the meat shop as farmers came and went on the distant unknown road, though he never walked the fields himself. Now, it’s like a wish has been fulfilled.

An Li, under Song Yan’s encouraging look, tried to construct a memory to fit into the current atmosphere.

Ming Cai Zhenren jokingly hit her partner, saying: "Loaches, insects, water snakes are all fine, but if we encounter something here, it might be demon beasts."

The four of them laughed heartily, managing to find humor in their hardship.

Then, under the scolding of the overseer of the Black Armored Divine Army, the four continued their work.

In such an efficient digging environment, about a day and a night later, a soft glow suddenly rose several dozen miles north of Ziwu Village, illuminating the surroundings, appearing particularly dazzling in the night.

Song Yan stopped his actions, looking into the distance, but his Divine Sense had already been sent out.
