I exchanged sects with the real daughter, and I ascended to heaven to offer sacrifices to her

Ye Qingning did not think about it any further. Instead of going into it too deeply, it would be better to just look for it and see if there were any treasures in this hall.

Ye Qingning searched carefully in the hall, not missing any place.

He checked every bookshelf and every book one by one, but found no trace of the treasure.

In addition to rows of bookshelves, there is only a statue of a god or Buddha in the center of the hall.

The statue is wearing a golden robe, with a kind and deep face and eyes slightly closed, as if immersed in endless meditation. The base of the statue is also engraved with patterns of lotus, auspicious clouds and auspicious beasts.

On the wall behind the statue was an intricate totem. The content of the totem was exactly the same as what she had seen in other palaces before, and there was nothing special about it.

But this hall is more like a library, and placing a statue there seems to be a harmonious coexistence, but it also seems a bit out of place.

Ye Qingning approached slowly, first kneeling down reverently in front of the statue, and then carefully examining the statue, his eyes wandering over every detail of the statue.

Finally, the sight rested on the statue's right foot.

It is said that touching statues of gods and Buddhas is a very disrespectful act, but there is an old saying: Cram at the last minute.

There is nothing disrespectful about cramming.

So, Ye Qingning got started directly.

Even the statue's right foot was carved extremely finely, and felt cold and delicate to the touch. Then Ye Qingning felt a small dent at the bottom of the statue's right foot.

Ye Qingning's heart moved, and he immediately pressed the depression on the sole of his foot with his fingertips.

The moment he pressed it, he heard a series of "clicking" sounds of mechanical rotation, and the statues of gods and Buddhas slowly moved to the side, revealing a hidden passage.

Ye Qingning's eyes lit up with joy, and without hesitation, he stepped directly into the passage.

After going deeper, I found that at the end of the passage was an ancient secret room, or more accurately, a secret study.

The room was not big, but was filled with various ancient books and scrolls. Candlelight flickered, and the air was filled with a faint woody fragrance.

The next second, Ye Qingning's attention was attracted by a mahogany box on the table.

The box was open, and a hairpin lay quietly inside.

The entire hairpin is made of ancient jade, and its surface is shining with silver light, as if the stars and the galaxy are intertwined. At first glance, it seems to encompass the entire starry sky.

Ye Qingning took the hairpin in his hand and immediately felt an extremely warm spiritual power flowing through it.

Looking at it again, I felt that this hairpin matched her star ring very well, like a set.

The duel message came to my ears:

[Congratulations on obtaining the mysterious treasure—the Starlight Jade Hairpin! You've also received 300 duel points! Your current points are 6,300. Keep up the good work!]

[Duel Message: There are ten random mysterious treasures in the second round, and the current number remaining is zero. Congratulations to all the disciples who found the treasures. The competition will end at midnight tonight, so please seize the final time!]

Ye Qingning looked at the Star-lit Jade Hairpin in his hand and thought that there was indeed nothing else to say. The news about the duel did not include any introduction to the treasure at all.

At this moment, an electronic voice sounded in the sea of ​​consciousness: "Ningning, this is the divine artifact Star Jade Hairpin!"

"The Starlight Jasper Hairpin is forged from meteorite Starlight Stone and Jasper. Rare Moonlight Crystals are also added to enhance the flow of spiritual energy."

"Wearing this hairpin not only purifies the practitioner's spiritual energy, but also helps practitioners enter a deep state of meditation in a very short period of time during nighttime practice, greatly improving their practice efficiency."

"In addition, it can also release a starlight shield during battle to resist damage, and at critical moments, it can also resist fatal attacks from the Tribulation Crossing Stage!"

"Another powerful effect is that, at night in a starry place, activating the Starlight Jade Hairpin can make the wearer completely hidden in the starlight and unnoticed. The effect is comparable to an invisibility talisman!"

"Ningning, your luck is always good, like you step on dog shit every day. Of course, such a powerful and beautiful magic weapon is only worthy of you, Ningning!"

The system is also a face lover. He likes good-looking hosts and good-looking hairpins. After all, who doesn’t like good-looking things?

Ye Qingning blinked. She just thought that this hairpin was extraordinary, but she didn't expect it to be a divine product.

The key point is that Shen Xuanli was right. There really are treasures in this hall, and they are random treasures that have never been found before.

"Gou Tong, when did you recover? Did you see Shen Xuanli enter here?"

The dog system chuckled and said, "I've only recovered halfway and can't transform into a little green bird yet. I can only stay in your consciousness. Although I didn't see the male protagonist Shen come in, the box is open, which shows that someone must have been here before!"

"The random treasures that appear here are not considered found just by seeing them. Only by holding them in your hands can you be considered to have obtained the treasure."

"Shen Xuanli must have opened the box before, but he didn't touch the hairpin. Think about it, he's a grown man, what does he need a hairpin for? Even if he took it, he wouldn't be able to wear it on his head!"

"Besides, he doesn't have a Taoist partner, a junior sister, or a female master. If he gets this hairpin, he doesn't know who to give it to."

"It's like a line from Guangzi: charging for five minutes, talking for two hours, but some people charge for two hours and can't find anyone to talk to for five minutes."

"If this hairpin falls into Shen Xuanli's hands, it won't be given away at all. He will probably just throw it into the storage space and let it sleep."

"Instead of that, it's better to give the hairpin to you, the host. Firstly, you two are a team after all. Secondly, it was you, the host, who destroyed the sonic formation, so his consciousness was no longer controlled. It's reasonable for me to give the hairpin to you."

Ye Qingning exclaimed inwardly, "Huh?" Hadn't the dog system shut down and gone to recovery? How did it know it was her who destroyed the sonic array? How could this dog system even shut down and monitor her?!

However, the dog system's explanation is quite reasonable. After all, Shen Xuanli is a grown man and it is really impossible for him to wear a hairpin.

Now that she has got the hairpin, there is nothing to give away.

Shen Xuanli saw Ye Qingning walking out of the underground secret room with the Star Jade Hairpin, and thanked him for giving way. He just nodded slightly and said "hmm".

In fact, it was Shen Xuanli who came to the hall first, opened the box and found the Star-Shining Jade Hairpin.

However, the hairpin was not something Shen Xuanli could use, so he subconsciously thought of Ye Qingning who had entered the mysterious area with him.

Although Shen Xuanli believed that victory in a duel should be won by one's own strength, finding treasures does not depend on strength but on luck.

Therefore, giving away the treasure does not count as deliberately giving points to her.

Ye Qingning put away the hairpin and was thinking about the last three hours. Should he continue to stay here and read books, or leave this area and fight with others at the last moment to compete for points.

The next second, she sensed two spiritual auras rapidly approaching her location. It seemed that they had discovered the entrance to the underwater ruins.

In the blink of an eye, a male cultivator and a female cultivator flew into the hall.

P.S.: I've seen a lot of fans in the community hoping Shen Xuanli will be the male lead. Just a quick note: the original male lead hasn't appeared yet, and his relationship line is later in the series, so Big Brother still has a chance! I'll keep an eye out for who you support!

No matter who the male lead is, the female lead is the strongest, and there are very few emotional lines. Love you! mua! (*╯3╰)
