Chapter 118: The Way to Cut Off Emotions and Desires

Faced with Ji Chen's inquiry, she did not respond immediately, but was carefully and earnestly detecting something with the roulette wheel.

After a long while, Zhou Zhiqian finally spoke, "There is something called 'Earth Spirit Milk'. It is said that someone has seen it in the mountains nearby."

The magical milk of the earth?

Hearing this, Ji Chen was stunned, and then he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as it’s not a spirit stone vein.

Otherwise, if Zhou Zhiqian really knew that there was a huge spiritual stone vein here, once she passed the news back to Kunlun, and the Kunlun people came here, I would not be able to get a single hair of it, let alone the vein.

"What is this thing used for?" he couldn't help but ask.

"It is the essence of the earth, and has extremely strong vitality. Over the years, I, Kunlun, have been looking for something similar."

She did not explain too much, but flipped her jade hand, took out something and threw it in front of Ji Chen.

Ji Chen was stunned again. When he looked around, he realized that it was a shovel. He suddenly realized what it was and couldn't help but be amazed and looked at Zhou Zhiqian.

"Why are you looking at me? Here, here, and here. Dig three feet down and see if you find anything." She raised her hand and pointed to several different places.

"When Miss Zhou said helping out, she meant for me to do the hard labor?" Ji Chen finally reacted.

"otherwise?"

She asked in return, and at the same time urged, "Hurry up and don't waste time. If we can't find the Earth Spirit Milk here, we will continue to go deeper into the mountain."

Ji Chen had no choice but to pick up the shovel and carefully and diligently dig in the places she pointed out.

There was no way. The strength of Zhou Zhiqian in front of him was completely beyond what Ji Chen could handle.

Moreover, in front of such a master, even if he wanted to run away, he would definitely be caught.

Fortunately, his divine body has infinite power, so such hard labor is nothing to Ji Chen.

About half an hour later, Ji Chen had dug three feet deeper into the places marked by Zhou Zhiqian. Unfortunately, it was all in vain and he didn't gain anything.

"Let's go to the next place."

Zhou Zhiqian seemed a little disappointed, but she quickly adjusted her mentality and continued to move deeper into the mountains with Ji Chen.

In the next few days, the two of them kept doing this and dug in many places, but found nothing at all. All their efforts were in vain.

"Miss Zhou, who gave you the magic weapon? I now seriously suspect that you were cheated by someone?" After digging two more places that day, Ji Chen was sweating all over and couldn't help but start complaining.

Hearing this, Zhou Zhiqian couldn't help but frowned, and after a moment she said, "On the way here, I bought it when I passed by a shop in a certain city. The shopkeeper said that this item has the function of detecting treasures, so he shouldn't lie to me."

When Ji Chen heard this, his eyes almost went dark. He thought that the roulette wheel in the other party's hand was a special magic weapon from Kunlun, but how could he have imagined that it was actually bought by Zhou Zhiqian?

"You dare to believe such words?"

After a while of silence, Ji Chen could not help but say, "If it really has the function of finding treasures, why would it be your turn to buy it? Moreover, if it is really so useful, why doesn't the shopkeeper use it to find treasures himself? Why does he need to open a shop to make money? He would have made a fortune a long time ago."

After hearing his words, Zhou Zhiqian frowned even more, as if she was thinking about something seriously.

After a long moment, she was stunned and turned her beautiful eyes to look at Ji Chen, "You mean, I was deceived?"

Ji Chen nodded, but his face became speechless again. He didn't know whether she was really stupid or didn't understand anything?

"This bastard!"

Zhou Zhiqian's face turned cold, "I will definitely tear down his shop later! But... where did I buy this thing?"

This question seemed to bother her, leaving Zhou Zhiqian speechless for a long time. She fell silent, as if she was thinking about something very seriously.

Seeing her like this, Ji Chen couldn't help but frown. He felt that something was a little strange, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Miss Zhou... your memory is not very good?"

Hearing this, she looked at Ji Chen again and said seriously, "What I practice is the Kunlun Way of Cutting Off Emotions and Desires. It requires cutting off the seven emotions and six desires to achieve great success. Therefore, I will quickly forget some unimportant things afterwards."

"Oh?"

Ji Chen was delighted when he heard this. "Then Miss Zhou, do you still remember how we met? You should also know what happened a few days ago..."

"You peeked at me taking a shower." She said without hesitation.

After hearing this, Ji Chen was stunned. He thought she would forget it.

Zhou Zhiqian narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "I will only forget unimportant things. Do you think this matter is insignificant to me?"

"No, I was just asking casually. Please don't take it too seriously, Miss Zhou." Ji Chen was ashamed.

Soon, the two continued searching in the mountains for another day.

Zhou Zhiqian still didn't believe it, and took the roulette wheel she bought casually, making Ji Chen work for an extra day in vain.

In the end, she gladly accepted the fact that she had been cheated and crushed the roulette wheel into powder.

"Now that things have come to this, I'm afraid the Spirit Milk of the Earth cannot be found. Miss Zhou, why don't you set off immediately and return to Kunlun to bring back some real treasure hunting items. Then you can continue looking for it. Shall we go our separate ways now?" Ji Chen said.

In the past few days, he had been confirming with Zhou Zhiqian repeatedly that the other party must not hurt him under any circumstances. Afterwards, regardless of whether the Earth Spirit Milk could be found or not, she must let him leave safely.

And Zhou Zhiqian always nodded.

"That's fine."

She sighed, "It seems that this is the only way, but..."

"But what?"

Seeing her looking at him, Ji Chen was startled.

Could it be that she is going back on her word and wants to kill people to silence them?

"The Dao Conference held once every ten years in the Eastern Wasteland is about to begin. This year's conference will be held in Kunlun, so after I go back this time, I'm afraid I won't have time to come out in the short term."

"For this conference, I would like to invite you to come to Kunlun as well."

"I guess I don't have time..."

Ji Chen refused without even thinking about it.

But she said very firmly, "There is a holy stone in my Kunlun. For thousands of years, this holy stone has contained the laws and spiritual power of heaven and earth, which has improved the environment of my Kunlun Mountain Gate. That's why Kunlun is called a holy land by the world."

"But in the past hundred years, the Holy Stone has shown signs of withering. Therefore, in order to keep it going, Kunlun has been thinking of a way."

“So that’s why Miss Zhou came here to look for the magical milk of the earth?” Ji Chen seemed to have an epiphany.

"Yes."

She nodded and looked at Ji Chen. "In fact, it is not only the Earth Spirit Milk and other rare treasures that can save the Holy Stone. The Holy Lord once said that some rare special physiques in the world also contain extremely strong vitality in their blood, which may be able to help the Holy Stone."

"A month ago, Kunlun had contact with the Ye family and invited the Xuanyu Saint Body. He will also be present at that time."

"You are the Eastern Wasteland Divine Body. Compared to the Mysterious Realm Saint Body, your physique is rarer and more powerful. If the Saint Body's blood is useless to the Saint Stone, I hope to borrow some blood from you."
