Chapter 521: Chapter 463: Digging Three Feet into the Ground

Wang Zijia raised his hand, and a spiritual wind swirled, blowing the smoke and dust away. He floated to the top of the collapsed Buddha Tower Boulder.

After examining it for a moment, he found that the big shots were really thorough. Aside from bricks, there were only bricks left, and not a trace of anything spiritual remained.

Standing in place, thinking for a moment, the fortunate Wang Zijia simply expanded his senses and began to meticulously search the entire range of the Mysterious Mountain Gate.

After all, this was a vast area, and everyone at the time had been in a hurry. Perhaps there was something they missed?

With such thoughts, Wang Zijia began his careful search.

However, he found nothing spiritual even after searching for half a day, just like a plain mortal ruins.

"They cleaned up too thoroughly!"

Wang Zijia shook his head speechlessly and stopped doing useless work.

He observed for a moment and finally flew towards the core Buddha Tower.

He planned to go there and wait calmly for the arrival of the guard team. After completing the handover, he would continue his journey to the Changbao Flying Land and start this threefold covert spy task.

When Wang Zijia arrived at the core Buddha Tower guarded by Faxin, the Buddha Tower had collapsed, just like the other ones.

Hovering in front of the ruins in the Stone Forest Square where he intended to cultivate, Wang Zijia was slightly startled.

The entire Buddha Tower was situated on a square, but the square was not empty.

It was densely filled with tall stone pillars.

The stone pillars were about human height, square at the bottom and had individual lamp turret shapes at the top where Buddhist lamps could be placed.

It is a standard design of Buddhist Lamp Stone Pillars.

It can be imagined that, once night fell, the Ever-Bright Lamps would have been lit. The star-filled view around the Buddha Tower, flitting in the flickering light, must have been pretty good.

Since this location had been checked thoroughly for two days, it would not be an exaggeration to describe it as ’digging three feet into the ground.’

Previously, no one found anything unusual, nor did Wang Zijia expect to find anything.

But this strange event did happen to him!

Closest to the Buddha Tower area, near where Faxin’s Buddha’s bones had shattered, for some reason, a lamp stone pillar had also toppled along with the Buddha Tower.

Among the many lamp stone pillars, its collapse naturally attracted Wang Zijia’s attention, and he took a subconscious glance.

This glance revealed something.

Wang Zijia approached the fallen stone pillar with a look of surprise and waved his hand to move it aside.

At the base of the stone pillar, a mottled jade box appeared before his eyes.

"What is this?"

Showing a hint of surprise, Wang Zijia was about to take the jade box into his hand.

But, as soon as he touched it, the jade box collapsed and disintegrated.

The object within the box was revealed.

It was a very peculiar jade bamboo flute whistle.

The bamboo flute was all white, about three to four inches, around ten centimeters in length, sharp at one end with an organ and thick at the other — the sound-producing part.

At first glance, it looks like an ugly piece of bamboo. Looking again, its design seemed odd.

The pure white jade bamboo had no spiritual fluctuations and seemed like an ordinary mortal decoration.

Even with his eyes flashing with spiritual light, there was no abnormality, and no information emerged.

It seemed like there were texts on the bamboo flute whistle.

"Lovesickness seeps into the bone, but you enter the soil... Open the coffin to take the bone, making artifacts to accompany forever."

He had read it with some anticipation, but the more he read, the more peculiar it turned out to be.

Finally, he understood why its design seemed weird – wasn’t this just a stretched phalanx?

This wasn’t a jade bamboo flute whistle at all; this was damn bone whistle!

"What a fucking lunatic!"

"These bald monks, do they all develop mental illnesses by the end when they don’t suppress their emotions?"

Looking at the bone whistle in front of him and then at the surrounding Stone Forest, a thought flashed in Wang Zijia’s eyes.

’Could this Forget Love Pagoda Stone Forest be...’

With a thought in his mind, mana surged beneath his feet, and the entire square began to churn.

"Thud, thud..."

As the square began to roil and the lamp stone pillars fell down, he didn’t find anything else.

Wang Zijia’s hopes had been dashed. He had originally thought each stone pillar suppressed some buried sins!

After failing to find anything else, Wang Zijia turned his attention back to the bone whistle.

He studied the bone whistle in front of him carefully, using various methods, but none of them gave him any information.

It seemed... it was just a typical bone whistle.

Yet, even when Wang Zijia held it in his hand, in his perception system, he could feel nothing.

In his mind’s perception, this thing seemed to not exist at all, just like a phantasm.

Given this disparity, unless Wang Zijia was an idiot, he would know that it certainly wasn’t just any ordinary bone whistle.

Wang Zijia, who wasn’t giving up, tried various things, but he didn’t get any information.

At last, he even let a thread of mana enter it, but it sank in without making a splash.

"Blow it?"

Looking at the bone whistle in front of him, Wang Zijia wavered for a long time.

Finally, he couldn’t resist the temptation. With his body tense, he put the bone whistle to his lips and cautiously blew it for a split second.

"Puff..."

"A dud whistle?"

Looking at the bone whistle, Wang Zijia relaxed his tense nerves a bit.

He exerted more power to blow it again.

"Puff!"

Still, there was no sound, it seemed to be truly a dud whistle.

······

After studying for a long time, he couldn’t figure out the reason.

Looking at the bone whistle, besides disappearing without a trace when mana was input, he guessed there was no other response or movement from the whistle.

However, when he attempted to input half of his mana, there was no change in the bone whistle, not even a hint of spirituality on the surface.

In the end, he could only put it away temporarily.

Wang Zijia then went out again and began a carpet-type search. Partially due to his hope to find something else from the rewards he got, but mainly to leave traces!

If the core pagoda forest had been dug three feet deep by him, what would the defenders think when they came to replace him in a few days?

Three days passed in this way, with Wang Zijia searching and stopping without gaining anything else.

······

Wanyu Sect, White Peach Peak, inside the underground base.

A human skin paper man emerged from an anchor artifact, the artifact expanded quickly, and the human skin was draped over it, a complete Wang Zijia shaped out.

Every aspect of him was no different from a real person, nearly an external incarnation!

Due to recently making a big news, Wang Zijia didn’t dare to crawl out directly from the disciples’ Sea of Consciousness of the Qifeng.

Just in case he was discovered, although it might not cause any trouble, caution was always necessary.

After checking the underground base and finding everything running smoothly without any problems, Wang Zijia left the base.

It was already noon at this moment. Because he did not notify in advance that he would ’exit the retreat’, there was no one waiting for him, and there was no one in the courtyard.

Apart from the seven trees still flowering around, the sea of peach flowers had already withered and began to bear fruits.

Wang Zijia looked around the unchanged White Peach Courtyard.

[Preaching Tower: Dao Child Wang Zijia, you have a special reward that requires you to go to the Preaching Tower and receive it from the tower master Zhang Decheng in person. If you have any questions, you can also inquire there.]

Just as he took out his identity token, he received such news, which was sent yesterday. But he was digging the ground and had not returned to the sect, so he hadn’t gotten it.

Without further delay, Wang Zijia took off, turned into a streaming light, and flew towards Qifeng.

During the flight, Wang Zijia frowned slightly. Why did the atmosphere in the sect feel a bit heavy?

······

At the foot of Inheritance Peak, in the Heavenly Inquiry Tower.

Wang Zijia, who was familiar with the place, found Zhang Xiumin, greeted her respectfully, and said with a smile: "Senior Sister!"

Whether she had received the news or knew what Wang Zijia had done three days ago, Zhang Xiumin did not berate Wang Zijia this time.

Instead, she carefully looked at him for a moment before responding: "Patriarch is in the study, you can go in yourself, no need to announce."

"Thank you, Senior Sister!" Wang Zijia paid her respect, then turned and left, heading to the eighth floor.

······

Heavenly Inquiry Tower, eighth floor.

"Disciple meets the tower master!" Upon arriving at the study, Wang Zijia bowed respectfully to Zhang Decheng.

"It’s you, kid!"

Upon seeing Wang Zijia, Zhang Decheng paused what he was doing, stood up with a full smile, and went to the guest seating in the middle of the room.

Wang Zijia obediently followed behind.

As Zhang Decheng took out a can of Spiritual Tea, he gestured to Wang Zijia and said, "Sit."

Wang Zijia was just about to respond when Zhang Decheng, sensing Wang Zijia’s reluctance to sit, waved the tea canister in his hand and said:

"This is Fifth Grade Enlightenment Tea, a gift from the Head Teacher yesterday. If you don’t want to try it, you can continue to stand."

Wang Zijia paused his action, his refusal turned into, "Then, as a disciple, I will obey your instruction!"

After those words, he decisively sat opposite Zhang Decheng, calm and undisturbed, without any restraint, saying, "Tower master, why don’t I help you?"

"Forget it, I only have this one can. You might take it all. Then I’ll have none left!" Zhang Decheng replied in this way.

Wang Zijia’s smile froze a bit and said, "Look at what you are saying, Tower master. Would I be so impudent?"

Zhang Decheng nodded seriously and said, "You have indeed behaved shamelessly several times. I really don’t understand why a decent disciple who has spent a hundred years in the Lower Realm could have such a personality."

"Once the Qinglian World Anchor is set up, we must rectify this atmosphere. Don’t let all the disciples from the Lower Realm be spoiled."

Wang Zijia: "······"

’I don’t think you don’t look like a decent person either. You’re no more than a phoenix chick, yet you dare to criticize this sleeping dragon?’

Although he had some retorts in his mind, he couldn’t express it, so he could only respond with a silly smile. His handsome face, still slightly naive, looked very innocent.

"How’s everything over there, is there any movement?" As Zhang Decheng saw this, he changed the topic while making the tea.

Looking at his actions, Wang Zijia smiled and replied, "Except for the fact that I’ve been digging three feet into the ground for three days, there’s nothing noteworthy."

Zhang Decheng’s action of making tea quivered a little, almost spilling it.

Even someone as refined as him, hearing Wang Zijia’s calm, nonchalant words, couldn’t help but tense up a little.
