Jiang Xiaobai reassured himself, not to give up, not to feel disheartened.

Afterward, he began to examine closely his surroundings, thinking that he could still find some good stuff this way. Even if he didn’t, it was just a bit of time wasted.

After looking around the small hill, he did find some spiritual medicine, the effort was not without its rewards.

After a full round outside, Jiang Xiaobai turned his sights to the entrance of the cave dwelling.

Although the valuable items inside had been taken away, it didn’t mean he wouldn’t go inside and check. Jiang Xiaobai even thought that his previous doubts were unnecessary.

This place had been discovered for quite some time, and any benefits would have been picked clean. At this point, what could he gain from coming here?

However, since he had already begun to check and was now at the entrance of this cave dwelling, he might as well take a look, since it wouldn’t waste too much time.

With that, Jiang Xiaobai stepped inside.

The cave dwelling was a bit shabby, with only a small yard and two rooms. Other than that, there was nothing. He even found that the doors of the rooms had been taken away, which made him feel surprised.

After examining the dwelling carefully, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t find any useful items. All he saw was an empty space, literally nothing to investigate.

It could be described as four bare walls.

Just as he thought that there was no need to continue exploring the dwelling, the “Meandering Veins Record” in his hand suddenly flew up into the air, flipping its pages, and a golden light appeared, transforming into a small orb of light in the air.

The light orb flew to the floor of the room and stopped.

Jiang Xiaobai’s eyes lit up. Could there be a surprise here?

He approached it, tapped the floor with his hand first, found nothing unusual, and then decided to use earth escape to investigate further.

But when he was about to duck his head, his forehead had an intimate contact with the floor.

It hurt, and he gasped for air.

“Damn it, this thing actually blocks the earth escape?”

Jiang Xiaobai’s expression turned gruesome as the Feihong Sword appeared in his hand.

Jiang Xiaobai has zero tolerance for this kind of situation. If he couldn’t dig into it, then it shouldn’t blame him for being rough.

Right then, he began to dismantle the dwelling. The Sky Spirit treasure in his hand became a pickaxe. It was indeed in sharp contrast to the sword, exceptionally sharp.

The floor was blocking all magic and must have been specially treated. It was probably very hard, but in front of Feihong Sword in Jiang Xiaobai’s hand, everything was like a cloud.

Soon, a pit as high as half a person appeared before him. At the bottom of the pit, there was a box made of extremely hard material.

Taking out the box, Jiang Xiaobai directly opened it, and a golden light almost blinded him.

“What the hell is this?!” Jiang Xiaobai exclaimed.

Inside the box, he saw a key, shining brightly. He didn’t know what material it was made of, but it felt heavy in his hand.

Jiang Xiaobai toyed with it for a while, unsure of its use, but the owner of the dwelling had buried it here and had even made special arrangements around it, clearly considering it a treasure and not wanting anyone to find it.

Jiang Xiaobai didn’t give it much thought and threw the key into his storage space.

After that, Jiang Xiaobai squinted his eyes and mulled over what could next. What would he gain?

Immediately, he left the cave dwelling and started to fly using a spell, heading towards the next suspicious location.

Not long after Jiang Xiaobai left, two people, wrapped in black bandages from head to toe, rushed into the cave dwelling. Afterward, they saw the pit that had been dug on the ground.

The two exchanged a glance and turned pale in shock.

“We’re too late! Somebody took the goods ahead of us!” one of them clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.

The other narrowed his eyes and stepped forward to touch the soil on the ground. “This was just dug up. The guy who took the stuff mustn’t have gone far. Let’s go after them!”

“Chase my ass, do you know who took it? Is there any trace left here? How can you chase?” the other sneered.

Immediately, silence ensued in the room.

The man squatting on the ground checking the pit raised his head. His voice was hoarse, “This time, let it pass. Next time, if you dare to cross me again, I’ll twist you into a pretzel and hammer you into the ground.”

The other man’s eyes, the only ones visible on his face, flashed with embarrassment. He then cleared his throat, “Well, big brother, I do have the means to track the person down, provided he left some breath here.”

“There is.’

“Then it is okay, give me two hours, I could track them down.”

The two bandaged people then began to tamper, completely oblivious of Jiang Xiaobai, who had already moved on to another suspicious location, and the events occurring in the cave dwelling.

He spent quite a while searching the suspicious area, even using the “Meandering Veins Record”. Still, there was not a single clue, and out of frustration, he finally decided that there was no vein of ore here.

“Damn it, are veins of ore really that hard to find?”

Jiang Xiaobai raised his eyebrows, and his face revealed a look of sadness. Now, there was only one other likely place left, but it was far away, at least one hundred thousand miles from here.

Sitting on the ground, rubbing his eyes, Jiang Xiaobai pondered for a while. Finally, he gritted his teeth and decided to go.

“Worst-case scenario: I go there, and there is nothing. It’s better than doing nothing. Who knows, there might be a treasure waiting for me?” Jiang Xiaobai comforted himself in his heart, and then he set off at once..
