Boarding Life

Thinking of this, Qin Qi's eyes narrowed into a slit, "So, where did these things come from?"

Seeing Qin Qi's interest, Chen Quezi also breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly responded with a smile, "Mr. Qin, just come with me!"

Qin Qi became more curious, suppressing the confusion in his heart, and quietly rode to the destination.

About an hour later, the car left Su City and arrived at a barren mountain under the Chen family's command.

This barren mountain had only a few tufts of grass, obviously worthless, yet the important slopes leading into the mountain were guarded intently.

Only when Chen Quezi arrived did the guards allow passage, "Young Master!"

"I'm taking people up, you all keep watch here, no mistakes can be made!" Chen Quezi ordered.

After speaking, Chen Quezi habitually looked around, seeming scared of being discovered.

Qin Qi stroked his chin, his curiosity growing.

He followed Chen Quezi up the mountain, twisting and turning, finally arriving at an unremarkable pile of dirt.

"What's going on?" Qin Qi asked, puzzled.

Chen Quezi smiled and said, "Mr. Qin, don't rush!"

He waved at the people nearby.

A group of subordinates quickly took up shovels and started digging up the dirt.

About ten minutes later.

The dirt was uncovered, revealing an ancient well to Qin Qi's view.

As the well was exposed, a chilling wind howled from within, making Qin Qi feel a strange chill.

He couldn't help but peer inside, finding the well bottomless.

Chen Quezi explained, "Mr. Qin might not believe it, but the Carved Phoenix Ring and the Enchanting Immortal were both retrieved from within this ancient well.

Qin Qi thoughtfully asked, "If that's so, why didn't your Chen family retrieve them yourselves and instead called me here?"

Chen Quezi smiled bitterly, "If we had the ability, we wouldn't have asked Mr. Qin to come. Our ancestors from over two hundred years ago had a powerful martial artist who discovered this deep well. According to what he left behind, there's a hidden world inside the well!"

"The Carved Phoenix Ring and the Enchanting Immortal, along with some other treasures, were taken from it. It's also because of these treasures that our Chen family has continued to this day!"

"Unfortunately, the Carved Phoenix Ring was given to Ghost Hand by me, an unworthy descendant. Now the Chen family is in a critical situation, and we have no choice but to return to the ancient well!"

Qin Qi asked, puzzled, "So there are still treasures inside the ancient well. If so, why didn't your ancestors take them all at once? Why leave trouble for future generations?"

Chen Quezi said with a wry smile, "According to what ancestors left behind, when he entered it, he always felt an eerie gaze watching him!"

"This feeling made him particularly terrified, and he didn't dare to be too greedy. He only took a few recognizable items and fled. He also strictly instructed future generations not to explore this ancient well without martial artist standards."

Qin Qi continued to ask, "Your Chen family never thought of entering the ancient well again?"

"Of course, we thought about it. Recently, I even sent a few reckless people into the ancient well and promised a heavy reward. But without exception, once they ventured deep, they never returned!"

Chen Quezi explained honestly, "Young Master Qin, if you are willing to help explore the deep well. Our Chen family only needs any three treasures from within, and the rest will be yours. According to what our ancestor said, there is no shortage of things in the hidden world within this ancient well!"

Qin Qi pondered.

The eerie feeling in the ancient well made him very uncomfortable.

He really didn't want to take the risk of entering such a completely unknown environment.

As for those miscellaneous treasures, he wasn't interested at all.

However, just as he had the thought of refusal.

A mysterious woman's voice suddenly sounded in his mind, "Qin Qi, go in and take a look. There might really be some good stuff in this ancient well!"

Hearing her say that, Qin Qi's original thought of refusal changed.

He pondered for a while and then said, "Since I've taken your Enchanting Immortal, it's naturally obligatory to help you. As you say, if there really are plenty of treasures inside, I'll give you three items for the Chen family, and the rest will be mine!"

"Thank you then, Young Master Qin." Chen Quezi's eyes shone with gratitude.

Qin Qi didn't waste any more time, inspecting the environment of the ancient well from above.

The well was indeed bottomless, but the walls offered enough footing. After some hesitation, he leaped in, his feet supporting the walls as he gradually descended.

As Qin Qi gradually disappeared from sight.

An old man beside Chen Quezi, looking like a butler, couldn't help but ask, "Young Master, this is the treasure land passed down by our ancestors. Is it really okay to give all the good stuff inside to him?"

Chen Quezi snorted, "The Chen family is at the brink of life and death. If we don't give it to him, does our family have the capability to retrieve it on our own?"

"So many people have gone, we even paid a high price to bring martial artists. And what was the result, you all saw!"

Hearing this, the group also sighed.

Chen Quezi rubbed his temples, "Besides, there's no harm in giving him the things. Qin Qi is now a fifth-level martial artist. His talent is remarkable and his future is immeasurable. This time we might as well make friends with him."

"In the future, if the Chen family really faces a problem, we will have someone to turn to for help!"

The voices of discussion among them, along with Chen Quezi's words, gradually quieted down.

All eyes were on the ancient well.

At this moment, Qin Qi felt he had already descended over thirty meters, finally reaching the bottom of the ancient well.

"The bottom of this well is actually a deep pool?" Qin Qi squinted his eyes.

"Jump in, there's a hidden world beneath this pool." The mysterious woman instructed.

Qin Qi could feel it too.

The eerie feeling came from below the pool.

He took a deep breath and jumped in.

In an instant, a chilly sting spread all over his body.

"What the hell, the temperature of this water is so low that an ordinary person would freeze to death upon entering. Without a martial artist's level, moving would be difficult." Qin Qi murmured, "No wonder so many people went down and didn't survive to come out!"

He searched for the eerie feeling, finally diving another dozen meters, and found an entrance to a cave.

Qin Qi's eyes widened.

Because the entrance was only four or five meters long, yet the water showed no sign of flowing inside.

This illogical situation left him extremely astonished, and he confirmed, "This must be it!"

Using the strength of his waist, he propelled himself into the entrance.

Soon after, his body appeared in mid-air, rapidly falling.

Upon landing safely, he discovered he had arrived at an old and crumbling temple.

In the center of the temple was a statue of a woman almost the size of a normal person, sitting there. Though a statue, the woman's features were exquisitely beautiful to the extreme.

"What a beautiful statue!" Qin Qi gulped.

This woman was more beautiful than any he had ever seen, only Zuo Qingyue's ethereal and fairy-like grace could compare.

"I don't know what celestial beings look like, but it should be something like this!" Qin Qi thought silently.

He couldn't help but imagine.

How wonderful it would be if this woman were alive.

Conquering such a woman, that's what would make this life truly worthwhile!
