Path Of The Lilies 224 Treasures!

Qin Zheng nodded. "You're someone from the Water Sovereign lineage, so you should be feeling comfortable in this environment. It is said that you will be able to live in the water once you have reached the peak of your power and bloodline."

It was the first time Qi Huan heard something like that, but he couldn't deny that he did feel very comfortable in this place. It was cool and refres.h.i.+ng, as if his place was here from the very start. Even though the water should have been restricted for others, there was no such thing for him.

"I do feel very comfortable."

"It's different for the others," Qin Zheng shrugged. "You should walk in the direction where the surroundings felt the most comfortable to you. That should be the location of the inheritance."

Qi Huan's eyes flashed as he started to walk around. After a few seconds, he settled in one direction and walked forward. On their side, Zhan Jing followed after the children while being cautious. He could sense that this forest was unusual, but he decided to not give any comment.

His purpose coming here was only to accompany them and protect them should it be needed.

Not long afterwards, Qin Zheng's steps started to slow down. His breathing started to get rough, but his expression showed none of it as he kept his composure. If anything, he only stopped after walking a few more steps.

"I won't be able to continue," Qin Zheng said. "It's getting harder to breathe as we continue."

Qi Huan arched his eyebrows. "I thought you're also someone who has the blood since you can see the path."

"I use other means to see it. Anyway, if I continue I'm sure I'll die, so I'll stay here."

Zhan Jing still could continue because his base power was higher than Qin Zheng. However, he didn't want to court death too, so he turned his head to Ye Jiao. The decision would be up to this little girl.

At this time, Ye Jiao found it strange. She didn't feel much of the discomfort. Indeed, it was getting slightly harder to breathe, but not to the point that it would hinder her movements. However, she didn't really want to continue if the other two stopped because there might be danger around them.

"How about if we wait here?"

"I'll walk by myself then," Qi Huan nodded. "Take care when you're staying here."

"Yes."

Ye Jiao watched as Qi Huan disappeared into the distance before looking at the other two again. She tilted her head. "If we can't advance any further, is there anything we can do while waiting?"

"Search for treasure," Qin Zheng said without hesitation. He turned his body 90 degrees before he started walking. His eyes scanned his surroundings, trying to find anything that might be precious.

Looking at the plants around her, Ye Jiao wondered if any of these were precious. She didn't know their use because they were strange plants in her eyes. However, she could be sure that it would be hard for her to use them even if she knew.

"If it's Senior Brother Yu, he'll surely rummage everything until there's no precious herbs left."

"Right…"

Recalling his other disciple, Zhan Jing knew that the young boy would surely try to experiment on everything that he found. To make it worse, he just had to eat them all by himself after he had finished experimenting. He didn't know how many types of poison that young man had ingested so far with the amount of herbs he had collected and experimented.

If that man died because of his own poison, Zhan Jing wouldn't even feel surprised.

"Ah!"

Ye Jiao and Zhan Jing turned their head when they heard an exclaim. Seeing Qin Zheng holding up a blue rock with a joyful expression, they were stunned. Compared to the all-knowing and arrogant Qin Zheng that they saw on the usual days, he looked like a child who had just seen a treasure.

"That's a rock, right?"

Zhan Jing recovered his expression as he shook his head. "No, it can also be an ore."

"Ore?"

"Yeah, it's a raw ore to make weapons. That brat is also a Forging Master for your information," Zhan Jing rubbed his forehead. He had forgotten the young man's other occupation due to the fact that he has been living in this place for some time. After all, the constant update of his information no longer sent here because this place was quite remote.

Ye Jiao was dumbfounded. "You can be a Forging Master at a young age?"

"Yes. In fact, a lot of children might learn it from a young age, especially if they have a Forging Master parent or relative."

"I see."

Qin Zheng didn't pay any heed to the other two as he continued searching for more ores. On the other hand, Ye Jiao looked around while wondering. She didn't know any of them and even if she did, she doubted any of them would have some worth in the Four Kingdoms.

Besides, she was worried that she would destroy them, instead.

"You can just take this chance to practice Eon Energy. The surroundings area is filled with water type of Eon Energy. It might be suitable for you," Zhan Jing suggested.

Ye Jiao nodded. "Alright, Master."

Sitting on the ground, Ye Jiao focused on the Eon Energy around her. It was cool and comfortable, different from the type of Eon Energy she used to absorb. Even though the Eon Energy started to flow into her body, Ye Jiao could sense that her core refused to accept these types as it only absorbed extremely slowly.

Slowly, she opened her eyes. "Master, I don't think it's suitable for me."

"Oh?" Zhan Jing narrowed his eyes. "Are you telling me that you have already started to sense the differences in Eon Energy?"

It was Ye Jiao's turn to look at her master with a strange look. "But, they're already different from the start of my training. I mean, they sense differently."

"…" he took a long time just to differentiate the energy that he absorbed but she was already able to sense them from the moment she started practicing? Didn't it mean that she already had a huge advantage from the very start?

That's unfair!

Thinking of the days when he had to lament on himself because of his inability to sense, Zhan Jing wished to curse. It was good that he never asked these things to his previous disciples or he might not be able to continue practice because of this stifled feeling.

"Master, are you alright?"

"Yes, I'm fine."

His heart was still bleeding because of her answer, but Zhan Jing sighed. He looked in the other direction. "There should be some other things that you might find interesting. Let's just take a walk."

If they talked again, he was afraid that his heart wouldn't be able to take it. Some inborn talent was those that were very enviable. Still, he had never heard of the talent like Ye Jiao's back when he was still living outside this place. There might be some special condition for this little girl.

He would need to search more if he wanted to find out.

"Ok, Master."
