Who understands? He traveled through time with a high-spec spatial ability.

When Qiao Jingjing opened her eyes again, she found herself in an unfamiliar place, surrounded by complete darkness.

This wasn't a spatial dimension; in that dimension, it was always daytime. She stood up, intending to retrieve a flashlight from the spatial dimension, but discovered it had malfunctioned here. She could only grope her way forward slowly, using her feet to probe the path, listening intently for any sounds, but there wasn't a single one.

Qiao Jingjing groped blindly forward in the darkness, feeling lost and confused. However, just as she was feeling hopeless, a faint light suddenly appeared ahead, as if tearing a hole in the endless darkness. That light, like a ray of hope, gave Qiao Jingjing a jolt.

Without hesitation, she ran towards the light, her steps quickening. As time passed, the light gradually brightened until finally, Qiao Jingjing arrived at a place. It was no longer pitch black, but illuminated by a strange light.

The sight before her left Qiao Jingjing speechless. Standing before her was an ancient and mysterious thatched hut, seemingly weathered by time. The hut contrasted sharply with its surroundings, inspiring awe in all who beheld it.

Qiao Jingjing carefully pushed open the door of the thatched hut, and a musty smell wafted out. The hut was filled with a faint dusty scent, but it was also filled with all sorts of strange objects. These objects all looked very old and exuded a mysterious aura.

Qiao Jingjing looked around curiously, her gaze finally settling on a table in the corner of the room. There sat a tattered book, its pages yellowed, seemingly having been read countless times. Qiao Jingjing gently picked up the book, opened it to the first page, which contained some secrets about the bead.

She couldn't wait to continue reading, and the words in the book gradually revealed the story hidden behind the bead.

It turns out that this bead is called a "Spirit Bead," an extremely rare and precious treasure. Its actual function is similar to the legendary treasure bowl, possessing incredible magical power. However, this treasure cannot be used indefinitely; it can only accumulate treasure if it benefits all living beings.

Alongside it was a mysterious jade tablet. This tablet possessed an equally astonishing function—it could unlock a spiritual field. The medicinal herbs and crops grown in this field not only had unique healing properties, but their efficacy was also doubled! This wondrous characteristic made them rare treasures in the world.

Qiao Jingjing became increasingly convinced that the jade pendant referred to the one in her spatial dimension. She continued flipping through the book, hoping to find more clues, but then nothing more came up. What she could confirm now was twofold: first, the spirit pearl and the jade pendant had to be combined simultaneously to function; second, the jade pendant was related to that young master.

Qiao Jingjing thought to herself, since the jade pendant is related to that young master, finding him will unlock its secret. She decided to leave first and make further plans later.

She turned and left the hut, retracing her steps. As she walked, she sensed a change in her surroundings; the once dark passage gradually brightened.

As she stepped out of the passage, her mind went blank for a moment, then she found herself back at the entrance to this mysterious place. Qiao Jingjing glanced back at the darkness, her heart filled with doubt.

What puzzled her even more was that she had clearly taken the Spirit Pearl and the ancient book out of the hut and placed them on her person. Yet, for some reason, they had vanished, and she didn't know when they disappeared. Perhaps after unraveling the connection between that person and the jade tablet, and cracking the secret of its activation, the Spirit Pearl would reappear on its own.

Fa Cai was nowhere to be found again, and Qiao Jingjing, feeling somewhat exhausted, rode her bike down the mountain. Back in the courtyard house, she heard familiar cartoon sound effects coming from the living room, and instantly became furious! That damn bird! It clearly knew so much but pretended not to know anything, and knowing she was unconscious, it still had the mood to come back and watch cartoons. And she'd even searched for it for a while!

She rushed into the living room, and as if she knew she was coming to settle accounts, she hid in the gap in the living room ceiling beforehand.

"Get down here right now. Tell me everything you know. Otherwise, I'll pluck all your feathers and turn you into the ugliest bird!"

"I don't believe you unless you catch me!"

"Get down!"

"Woman, let me explain... Ouch, someone threw a shoe at my bird!"

Qiao Jingjing suddenly calmed down, closed the doors and windows, and sat on the sofa, slowly whiling away the time. Every now and then, she would take out some snacks and watch the newly switched cartoons.

An hour later, Qiao Jingjing was dozing off in front of the TV, nodding off, and soon she actually fell asleep. Suddenly, a paw reached out from beside the plate of chocolate popcorn on the table, and the dog furtively tried to grab a few. After successfully eating one, it couldn't resist and pounced, but just as it was about to lower its head, it pounced and ran away as fast as its fur stood on end. Little did it know that Qiao Jingjing had been waiting for it to walk right into her trap, and she was faster than it.

"I can't handle you anymore, you little stinky bird! Will you confess on your own, or should I pluck all your skin and send you to the mountains to be seen by the other birds before you talk?"

Fa Cai instantly wilted, and all the bristling feathers fell down. "Caw caw caw, it's not that I don't want to talk, I'm just a bird, what do you want me to say?"

Qiao Jingjing thought it made sense; after all, it was a bird, and no matter how much intelligence it gained, it couldn't be treated like a human. "Alright, just answer my questions. Do you know what the jade pendant in the storage bag is?"

"Bodhi Jade".

"Very well, why did you give me the storage bag?"

Fa Cai exclaimed, "This is a gift. It's for you."

"Where did you get the Spirit Pearl?"

It seemed reluctant to answer the question, and Facai hesitated for a long time before finally speaking. Qiao Jingjing was about to give up waiting for its answer when it finally spoke, "The old master. The current Facai is not Facai anymore."

Two seemingly unrelated sentences, yet Qiao Jingjing understood them perfectly! When she first encountered Fa Cai on the mountain, she was puzzled—how could a perfectly normal bird suddenly become so fluent in speech? Furthermore, Fa Cai claimed to be a phoenix, and later gave her a storage bag and a spirit pearl; this series of actions was beyond the capabilities of an ordinary bird.

It seems not only she is a time traveler, but this bird is probably a phoenix that has traveled through time. As an ancient divine beast, it's not surprising that the phoenix knows these things. Qiao Jingjing guessed that the old master it mentioned earlier might have been someone whose master and servant had both met with misfortune, and that the phoenix, who was originally guarding these treasures, had accidentally taken them with it and traveled through time, and now somehow ended up with her.

Specific details are unknown, and the clues we have so far are too few. It seems we still need to find more valuable information from the connection between that person and the jade pendant.

She let go of her hand, then leaned in to flatter her, resting her head on her palm, and said, "Woman, I'll give you a gift right away, don't be angry. It would be even better if you could give me this delicious food."

???

Sending gifts without warning?

She tapped the bird's head with her index finger. "You've read too many miscellaneous things. Don't call me that. From now on, call me Jingjing. You little stinky bird."
