"He's an underground dragon. Who can dig holes better than him?" Qin Zhen said confidently.

Xia Jue stood beside him and puffed out his chest, feeling very proud.

Xiang Qing: “…”

Shopkeeper: "..."

So, what are they proud of?

Besides, who in their right mind would let the noble dragons help dig a hole?

Qin Zhen had no idea how shaken her senior sister and the shopkeeper were at this moment, and she turned her head and said to Xia Jue as if it was a matter of course:

"We just agreed on the price. Once you finish digging the hole, I'll pay you the other half."

"If I dig well and quickly, will there be extra rewards?"

Xia Jue yawned while still bargaining.

Is this thing a dragon?

This thing is actually a dragon! ?

The shopkeeper was in a state of panic.

In his impression, a dragon should be noble, elegant, superior, and look down on humans.

Instead of the distressed, hole-digging, and petty man in front of him.

The admiration for the dragon clan in my heart was instantly shattered.

But Xia Jue didn't care at all about how others viewed him, and he continued to insist:

"To be honest, for the sake of the clan leader, I have already given you a very favorable price. You should at least show some appreciation."

Qin Zhen remained calm: "That depends on whether you can really complete it well and quickly."

"Since you said that, everything is easy to say. I'll take care of it."

Seeing that Xia Jue had no objection, Qin Zhen walked up to the shopkeeper and stood still.

"Boss, please help me pass a message to Xuanji Tower and ask if we can ask the major sects to accompany us into Blind Mountain and help us find Elder Fuyao's trace. If it's really not possible, even if we are allowed to go in by ourselves, we will bear all the consequences ourselves."

Xiang Qing frowned when he heard this: "You've already found the Earth Dragon, why are you still asking them? They can't help us, and they can't let us in."

"Oh, we have to save face so that Master can show his abilities."

"What?" Xiang Qing didn't understand.

Qin Zhen smiled brightly: "Because of the obstruction of Xuanji Tower, we had to give up entering the Blind Mountain. Who would have thought that we would fall into a mysterious cave and accidentally enter it? This is not our fault, right?"

"..."

"Also, if we accidentally get the secret treasure, we don't want that either. When we asked them for help, they refused. That means they have no chance to get the secret treasure. They gave up the opportunity on their own initiative. People really should do more good deeds."

"...Junior Sister, seriously, please stay away from Jingxing."

What has the innocent and lovely little junior sister become because of Jingxing, that wicked man?

It’s basically a black sesame dumpling.

The outside is white, soft and cute, but when you cut it open, the inside is black.

The shopkeeper nodded in agreement.

He had dealt with Jingxing several times before, and he was indeed a person who looked lazy and could cheat people with just a smile.

The young boss in front of me is no less capable.

"Okay, I'll go and get the summons."

The shopkeeper does what he says.

Soon, he got a reply from there.

"Sure enough, just as the young master expected, they are not going to help, and they won't allow us to enter the Blind Mountain."

Qin Zhen nodded: "Save the message they sent back and give it to Master later."

Otherwise these sects will deny their responsibility later.

"Understood." The shopkeeper put away the message carefully.

"Then let's go." Qin Zhen nodded to Xiang Qing and Xia Jue.

The shopkeeper also quickly handed the collected Blind Mountain map to Qin Zhen.

Soon, the three figures disappeared from Xiaoyao Tower.

Just when the shopkeeper was relieved, someone came to report: "Shopkeeper, the female cultivator who had a conflict with the young master is coming to our building for dinner. Do we still need to drive her out according to your previous instructions?"

The shopkeeper was about to nod, but when he thought of Qin Zhen's style of doing things just now, he changed his tone when the words came to his lips.

"No, invite the person in, recommend the best thing to her, and charge her ten times, no, a hundred times the price."

"clear."

……

At the foot of Blind Mountain.

Xia Jue suddenly dived into the ground and turned into his original form.

"The earth shook, and the earth shook again!"

Upon seeing this, the disciples of the immortal sect guarding around Blind Mountain flew up on their swords and maintained their balance in the air.

No one left his position.

Qin Zhen and Xiang Qing both hid their bodies and looked at each other as they watched the bright lights of the spiritual swords flying into the air.

"There are more people coming than I expected." Xiang Qing sighed.

"It proves that the brilliant light half a month ago must have been very eye-catching. I'm afraid some extraordinary treasure really appeared in the world."

I'm afraid that people from other sects have transferred disciples from far away here.

"Master, did you come here for the thing in that light?" Xiang Qing guessed.

Qin Zhen shook her head: "I don't know, maybe."

"But now this mountain looks... really ordinary."

No wonder Xiang Qing used this word to describe the mountain.

This is because the mountain in front of us does not have any amazing features.

It is neither high nor steep, let alone picturesque. It is just like the mountain behind everyone's hometown, with ordinary trees, ordinary streams, and ordinary mountains.

"It's really ordinary. The only difference is one thing."

"Which point?" Xiang Qing was a little curious.

"The name, the name of the mountain."

"You mean—Blind Mountain."

"Well, I checked on the map. It is indeed the word for blind. Generally, there are very few mountains that use this word as their names, right?"

Xiang Qing nodded: "When I divined this name, I also felt it was a bit strange."

"If I had known, I would have asked the shopkeeper just now."

Because she was busy with a lot of things just now, Qin Zhen forgot about this matter.

But Xiang Qing shook his head: "Since you said you would tell me everything about Blind Mountain, if he really thought the name was strange, he should have told me. But he didn't, which proves that this name is nothing special to them. Even if we ask, we won't get anything out of it."

While the two were talking, Xia Jue had turned back into human form and appeared in front of them.

"Okay, it's all done. Don't worry, I made the soil very solid and used a cleaning spell to ensure that the hole won't collapse and that no mud will stain your clothes."

"Okay, thank you."

Qin Zhen readily gave another box of jewelry to Xia Jue.

"Remember, this hole will help us hide it after we go in."

Qin Zhen doesn't want anyone else to follow her.

"Don't worry, I'll do my job. If the money is in place, the service will be in place as well."

Xia Jue had just received the money and felt much more energetic.
