After handing it over to the system, the three brothers knelt down and begged for forgiveness

Nan Qiao held Zhou Zimo's hand tightly, her eyes full of anticipation and excitement.

The two of them walked up the stairs slowly, and the wooden stairs made a slight creaking sound under their feet.

The door to the second floor slowly opened, and a stronger smell hit me in the face.

Compared to the first floor, the light here is brighter, and the walls are inlaid with sparkling gems, emitting brilliant light.

Rows of exquisite shelves hold even more precious treasures, each exuding a powerful aura.

Zhou Zimo's eyes lit up, and he excitedly pointed to a bottle emitting blue light and said, "Sister Nanqiao, look at this! This is the Holy Water of the Spiritual Spring. After taking it, it can greatly improve the speed of cultivation and the purity of spiritual power."

Having said that, he put the bottle into the space jade pendant without hesitation.

Nan Qiao's attention was attracted by a gorgeous staff.

The staff shone with golden light all over, and a huge gem was inlaid on the top, emitting powerful magic.

"What is this?" Nan Qiao asked curiously.

Zhou Zimo took a look and explained, "This is the Star Staff. It is said to be able to summon the power of the stars. It is extremely powerful."

Nan Qiao put the staff into the space jade pendant without hesitation, his heart filled with joy.

They continued to explore the second floor, constantly discovering various precious treasures.

There are armors that can enhance defense, pills that can instantly restore spiritual power, and talismans that can cast powerful spells.

Every treasure made them marvel, as if they had entered a dream world.

Zhou Zimo and Nan Qiao were like two greedy children, picking out their favorite treasures in this treasure world.

When the afterglow of the setting sun shone through the windows of the Treasure Pavilion, Zhou Zimo and Nan Qiao were shocked to realize that they had spent a whole day in this mysterious treasure house.

They looked around and saw that the cabinets that were once filled with treasure boxes now seemed a little empty.

A guilty look appeared on Zhou Zimo's face. He scratched his head and looked evasive.

Nan Qiao looked at the few empty boxes on the cabinet, and her heart beat faster involuntarily.

The two looked at each other and saw the same guilty conscience in each other's eyes.

Zhou Zimo coughed lightly and whispered, "Sister Nanqiao, didn't we take a little too much..."

Nan Qiao bit her lip, nodded slightly, and silently tidied her clothes.

Although I feel uneasy, the things are already in my pocket and there is absolutely no way I can return them.

Zhou Zimo took a deep breath and answered himself: "It doesn't matter. They won't find us for the time being. Let's go quickly."

Nan Qiao nodded and said, "Let's go quickly. It would be so embarrassing if we were discovered and arrested."

The two men walked cautiously towards the gate of the Treasure Pavilion, their steps as light as thieves.

The moment they stepped out of the Treasure Pavilion, a cool breeze blew, making them shiver.

They looked back at the ancient and majestic Treasure Pavilion, and seeing that there was no one there, they quickened their pace.

He left in a hurry with a guilty conscience and uneasiness, his figure gradually disappearing in the afterglow of the sunset.

After dinner, the courtyard was quiet.

Father Zhou came to Nan Qiao with a serious face, ready to test her spiritual roots.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Nan Qiao, and the air seemed to become solemn.

Father Zhou held an ancient jade plate in his hand. The jade plate emitted a soft light and was engraved with mysterious patterns, as if carrying ancient power.

"Miss Nanqiao, don't be nervous."

Father Zhou's voice was steady and powerful.

Nan Qiao nodded slightly. Although she felt a little nervous, she was more curious and expectant.

Father Zhou gently placed the jade plate on the table in front of Nan Qiao and motioned her to place her hand on it.

Nan Qiao took a deep breath, slowly stretched out his hand, and gently touched the spirit jade plate.

In an instant, the Spirit Jade Plate shone brightly. Brilliant and colorful light shot out from the Spirit Jade Plate, illuminating the entire courtyard.

Everyone stared at the spirit plate, waiting for the result.

The light gradually stabilized. On the spirit jade plate, half of the light was ice-blue, freezing cold, as if it could instantly freeze the surrounding air into ice; the other half was a blazing red light, like a blazing flame, emitting astonishing heat.

Father Zhou carefully observed the spiritual jade plate, frowning slightly, as if he was thinking about something.

After a while, Zhou's father raised his head and looked at Nan Qiao with a hint of surprise and admiration in his eyes.

"Miss Nanqiao, your spiritual roots are extremely special and contain great potential. If you cultivate in the future, you will surely achieve great things."

"Father, what kind of spiritual roots does Sister Nanqiao have?" Zhou Zimo asked anxiously as he couldn't understand the spiritual jade plate.

Nan Qiao also looked at Zhou's father with a face full of anticipation and curiosity.

Father Zhou narrowed his eyes and smiled, then replied, "It's an extremely rare Ice Flame Spiritual Root."

"Ice Flame Spiritual Root? What kind of spiritual root is this? Why have I never heard of it?" Zhou Zimo frowned and asked in confusion.

Father Zhou stroked his beard and explained solemnly, "This Ice Flame Spiritual Root is an extremely special mutant spiritual root."

"The speed of cultivation is not inferior to your Fire Element Spiritual Root. If they cooperate properly, it may be even faster than yours."

"That's even more powerful than my fire-type spiritual root!" Zhou Zimo said excitedly.

Father Zhou nodded and continued to explain, "The ice attribute is extremely cold and can freeze everything. In battle, it can slow down the enemy's movements or even freeze them."

"The flame attribute is extremely hot and possesses powerful destructive power, capable of burning all obstacles. This spiritual root is extremely rare, and its possessor often possesses great potential and talent."

He paused, then continued, "Those who possess Ice and Flame spiritual roots need to work even harder to balance the power of the two attributes during their cultivation. If they can achieve a harmonious balance between ice and fire, they can unleash power beyond imagination."

"Miss Nan Qiao, your future path of cultivation will be full of challenges, but you will also gain great achievements."

Zhou Zimo listened intently, and finally his eyes were filled with amazement: "I see, Sister Nanqiao, I thought I was a rare genius, but I didn't expect you to be the genius among geniuses."

Nan Qiao blushed slightly at what Zhou Zimo said, "Ice Flame Spiritual Root, that sounds very powerful."

After testing his spiritual roots, Zhou Zimo's eyes were filled with excitement and anticipation.

He couldn't wait to grab Nan Qiao's hand and whispered, "Sister Nan Qiao, your Ice Flame Spiritual Root is so special, you must practice well."

"The Heavenly Grade Cultivation Technique the Village Chief gave you is too precious. We need to find a safe place for you to practice."

He turned his cunning eyes and said, "Come on, I'll take you to the secret room."

The two walked through the winding corridor and came to a heavy stone door.

Zhou Zimo formed seals with his hands, a ray of light flashed, and the stone door slowly opened, revealing a dark passage.

They walked down the passage, their footsteps echoing in the silence.

Entering the secret room, a strong spiritual energy hits you in the face.
