C1143 Feel the Soul Light
Ye Bufan moved closer to take a look. The needle on the compass was spinning rapidly. After a while, it finally stopped and pointed in a direction.
"What is this for?" Ye Bufan was quite interested in this thing. He had never heard that treasure exploration required a compass. He thought that he could use luck to dig holes everywhere.
Zhang Jilan smiled and said, "This is called a compass. It can detect soul power and spiritual light. As long as you follow the direction indicated, you may find the treasure."
"Wow, so accurate?" Ye Bufan looked surprised. In fact, he didn't think much of it. If it was really so accurate, Blood Bone Mountain would have been dug out long ago.
Zhang Jilan sighed. "What accurate? It can only be roughly pointed in a direction. Whether he could find it or not depended on luck. Look, the compass is pointing in this direction. But how long and wide is this direction? We can only follow this direction. Then pay attention to your feet. Do you think it'll be easy?"
"Uh, it doesn't seem to be of any use." Ye Bufan scratched his head and laughed in his heart.
"I can't say it's of no use. After all, there's still a direction. At least it's not a headless fly." Zhang Jilan laughed self-deprecatingly. It was obvious that he was not satisfied with the ability of the compass, but there was nothing he could do.
Ye Bufan shouted in his heart. Kakaka, you don't know, right? I'm much more accurate than the compass. I won't tell you.
He only dared to think about how a small person would achieve success in his heart, but he wouldn't really show it. Who wouldn't achieve success in their own way? However, what he really showed was his desire.
In fact, when he was observing the compass just now, Ye Bufan had already activated his spiritual sense. A ray of light flashed in his eyes, and the scene that appeared in front of him was completely different.
The originally rugged rocks and withered trees next to the Zixi Valley now had an unknown amount of spirit light in his eyes!
Colorful, strange, and variegated light, Ye Bufan almost saw things with his own eyes.
With so much spirit light, it meant that there must be a large number of treasures. Ye Bufan was about to be knocked down by happiness.
This was going to happen!
While roaring madly in his heart, Ye Bufan secretly stressed that he had to be calm.
There were many examples of people returning empty-handed after entering a treasure mountain. The more likely they were to be dazzled, the calmer they had to be. First, they had to find something that was easy to obtain, then they had to find something that was valuable to them.
After activating the light sensing ability, Ye Bufan's Khorium Ore Dog's eyes almost went blind. There were too many soul power spiritual lights.
In Ye Bufan's eyes, the entire Midnight Valley was completely different from before. Colorful rays of light shot out from various places, interweaving into a beautiful light and shadow effect.
Ye Bufan was startled and hurriedly shut off the light sensing ability. Only then did he secretly heave a sigh of relief.
His expression did not change. He looked at the other members of the team and only relaxed when no one noticed his mistake just now.
Even so, his heart was still beating rapidly. It was too scary. No one would have thought that this seemingly ordinary and desolate Midnight Valley actually had so many treasures buried underground!
Ye Bufan immediately felt that he was about to burst out laughing. He was so excited that he almost laughed out loud.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, he kept his expression, but he also made himself look quite awkward.
This awkwardness was discovered by Zhang Jilan.
"Mr Ye, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with you?"
Ye Bufan smiled. "It's nothing. I just feel that it's strange. There's a large piece of desolate land here. Is there really a treasure here? If it was buried underground, who knows how deep it would be buried to? But if they were to dig a pit, then the entire Midnight Valley should be filled with huge pits. But now, they seem to be quite flat. How strange."
While explaining the reason for his strange expression, Ye Bufan was also secretly observing the reactions of the others. As expected, after he said those words, almost everyone looked at him with a sense of superiority.
It was obvious that everyone knew the answer to this question, but when they saw Ye Bufan, they did not know. Naturally, they felt like they were ahead of others. There was even a hint of disdain in some people's eyes. It was obvious that they were ashamed of Ye Bufan's ignorance.
Ye Bufan did not care about the changes in the expressions of these people. He focused on Zhang Qian, because he found that only Zhang Jilan and Zhang Qian had changed their expressions.
Zhang Jilan was right next to him. It was only natural that Zhang Qian was separated from him by a few people. However, he still noticed his facial expression at the first moment. It was hard to tell if he was secretly observing him. Or perhaps he was born with keen senses.
Zhang Jilan actually had such a meticulous companion by his side.
While Ye Bufan was being more careful, he couldn't help but sigh at Zhang Jilan's good luck.
Of course, it was also possible that Zhang Qian was subdued by Zhang Jilan's charm, but Ye Bufan himself couldn't feel it.
Fortunately, Zhang Jilan didn't show much trust and reliance on Zhang Qian. Even Ye Bufan, a newbie, had surpassed Zhang Qian's position in the team.
But the more it was like this, the more Ye Bufan felt that he should be careful of Zhang Qian.
Such a person who knew how to endure and was good at watching coldly from the sidelines was definitely not easy to deal with. If Ye Bufan gave himself away, he would very likely be discovered by him.
If it was said that Ye Bufan only had a vague understanding of his ability to sense light in the past, when he saw the spiritual light of the soul power that filled the valley just now, he understood that this ability of his was heaven defying.
So naturally, maintaining his secret and not letting others discover it became the thing that Ye Bufan needed to pay the most attention to right now.
It was precisely because he wanted to keep his secret that he couldn't do anything that would make others think of him.
Even if he was mocked or looked down upon, he could not let others know his secret.
The question he asked just now seemed to have a pretty good effect. Even Zhang Qian was obviously looking down on him. Clearly, he believed in his ignorance.
Zhang Jilan was speechless. He didn't expect Ye Bufan to ask such a question. However, as the leader of the team, he did get some benefits from Ye Bufan's guidance just now. He had established his prestige in front of so many people and made a name for himself. Of course, he wouldn't look down on Ye Bufan because of this, but even so, he still felt that Ye Bufan had some common sense.
But of course, he couldn't show it. He could only think in his heart. He did not know how much common sense Mr Ye did not know. He had to strengthen these things for him. Otherwise, if he brought them out wrongly, wouldn't he lose face as well?
He smiled brightly. "Mr Ye, don't say you think it's strange. When I first heard about it, I also thought it was strange. But after I found out the reason, I didn't find it strange."
" Oh? What exactly is the reason?" Ye Bufan saw Zhang Jilan trying to smooth things over for him and laughed in his heart. However, he quickly asked.
"The reason why the Blood Bone Mountain isn't full of holes is because this Blood Bone Mountain is alive!"
"Ah? Living?" Ye Bufan's surprised expression reminded many people of the first time they had heard this statement. Immediately, they stopped looking at Ye Bufan with disdain. Everyone had come from the same state. Big brother didn't laugh at Liu. They only knew about it earlier on. What was there to be proud of?
Ye Bufan's reaction to the emotions of the people around him, although it couldn't be compared to his reaction to the light, he could clearly feel that the attitudes of the people around him had changed.
There was no longer mockery or disdain, only friendliness and concern.
Of course, Ye Bufan did not understand why this was happening, but he would not feel uncomfortable when things got better.
A team that could be more tolerant of its members also made him feel more comfortable. At least during the period of exploring Blood Bone Mountain, he wouldn't leave because he couldn't accept it.
Although his secret didn't want to be discovered, entering the treasure mountain and returning was not the result he wanted. Therefore, although he had heard the rumors about the Blood Bone Mountain being 'alive', he still wanted to hear it from Zhang Jilan. He wanted to see if the information he knew was the same as what he had heard. At the same time, he wanted to take advantage of this opportunity. He wanted to think of a way to make use of his ability to get some treasures and bring them back.
Then, he pretended to listen to Zhang Jilan's introduction of Blood Bone Mountain while thinking about his own worries.
Zhang Jilan's explanation was similar to what he understood, but it was more or less detailed, which made Ye Bufan feel a little better.
The reason why Blood Bone Mountain did not look like a huge pit was because in a specific way, it could be said to be 'alive'.
The reason why he said that was because there had been many big pits dug out in the Blood Bone Mountain, but every night, these big pits would automatically fill up and turn back into normal terrain.
Sometimes, the trees that were dug up could even grow back!
Under the premise that he did not know what caused this phenomenon in the Blood Bone Mountain, it was not nonsense to say that the Blood Bone Mountain was alive.
After Ye Bufan heard what Zhang Jilan said, he nodded thoughtfully. In fact, he didn't even think about these things in his heart.
Zhang Jilan saw that Ye Bufan looked like he was being taught and was quite happy. He felt that this child was worth teaching. It was not that he was ignorant and incompetent, it was just that no one told him.
Suddenly, Zhang Jilan felt like he was a teacher, and his mood was very good.1
One had to say that people were good teachers. Especially since Zhang Jilan was a High Scholar, he had a high opinion of himself. However, in order to become the leader of the team, he had to lower his status and unite all the forces that could be united.
Now that he could satisfy Ye Bufan's sense of superiority, no matter how he looked at Ye Bufan, he found him pleasing to the eye.
After solving Ye Bufan's doubts, the entire team started to explore the direction indicated by the compass according to Zhang Jilan's instructions.
Everyone lined up in a long line and slowly searched forward step by step. From time to time, they injected their soul force into the ground to sense if there was any treasure.
Ye Bufan also followed suit and immediately understood the reason for doing so.
In order to find a treasure, one had to use their soul force to actively explore the Blood Bone Mountain, unless they were lucky enough to find a treasure.
A treasure that could be useful to the Soul Cultivator must also contain soul power. When two different soul powers collided, they would naturally be able to sense each other's existence.
