When her soul force left her body, it became like water without a source.
If Shen Liuxing had seized this opportunity to obliterate her soul force, she would have been utterly annihilated.
Therefore, for the soul to leave the body and enter another was also a demonstration of trust.
Fortunately, both Shen Liuxing and Zi Lingling were individuals who absolutely trusted each other.
As Zi Lingling's divine sense entered Shen Liuxing's sea of consciousness, Shen Liuxing immediately accessed the memories related to the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone.
Although he very much wanted to merge souls with Zi Lingling for a while longer, he knew that deliberately delaying would only make her resent him.
Moreover, with the imminent search for the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone, this was no time for lingering affections.
Soon, Zi Lingling saw the shape of the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone, and even the detailed introduction of it from the ancient painting.
Zi Lingling, having gained much, was overjoyed and quickly transmitted this information to Long'er and Xiao Hu through their soul pact.
Knowing the appearance of the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone, Long'er and Xiao Hu became immediately energetic.
They scurried around the treasure vault, searching for any trace of the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone.
However, after searching nearly the entire treasure vault, they found no sign of the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone.
When Long'er and Xiao Hu, with drooping heads, approached Zi Lingling, a flicker of disappointment crossed her face.
Frowning, she pondered, "Such a precious item as the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone, if the ancient blood demon did not carry it on him, nor place it in the treasure vault, where could it be hidden?"
Suddenly, Zi Lingling's eyes lit up, and she looked at a brick in the treasure vault.
This was because she felt a fleeting spatial force emanating from that brick.
"Is it here?" Zi Lingling asked herself inwardly.
"Young Master Shen, Long'er, Xiao Hu, please collect all the treasures here first!"
Zi Lingling instructed, then walked towards the brick.
She gently placed her hand on it, closed her eyes, and began to perceive carefully.
Soon, she discovered that spatial force did occasionally seep out from here.
However, because the seeping spatial force was too weak, it was easily overlooked.
Moreover, the spatial force here was so concealed, clearly hiding a significant secret.
Zi Lingling couldn't help but smile.
If she guessed correctly, the Blood Vein Spirit Coral Bone should be hidden in the space behind this brick.
But how to open it?
Zi Lingling thought for a moment, then slammed her palm onto the brick.
"Crack!"
After a crisp sound, the brick showed no change.
However, behind the brick, there was a clear hollow sound.
This meant that the space behind the brick was empty, but Zi Lingling's method was incorrect.
Hmm?
Zi Lingling stroked her chin, staring intently at the brick.
While she was in deep thought, Shen Liuxing, Long'er, and Xiao Hu were not slowing down.
In just a moment, Shen Liuxing's spatial ring was full.
Looking at the treasures scattered everywhere, he began to worry.
This was the first time Shen Liuxing had experienced the hardship of being in a treasure trove yet having nothing to store the treasures in.
He secretly vowed that after leaving, he would acquire more spatial rings to avoid being without them when needed.
He stopped because he had no storage items, but Long'er and Xiao Hu were busy as ever.
Xiao Hu opened its wide mouth, and regardless of whether it was herbs, weapons, pills, or secret manuals, they all flew into its belly.
Long'er also transformed into its true form, the dragon's head, and along with Xiao Hu, they collected things frantically, half and half.
It turned out that within the bodies of divine beasts, there was an enormous space created from birth to store important items.
Soon, under the voracious consumption of Long'er and Xiao Hu, the vast treasure vault was emptied of every last trace.
This scene, to Shen Liuxing, was no different from that of bandits.
He couldn't help but bitterly smile, "The difference between people, no, the difference between humans and beasts, how can it be so vast?"
At this moment, it would be a lie to say Shen Liuxing did not envy the abilities of the two divine beasts, nor did he envy Zi Lingling's luck.
However, he only envied them, without a trace of jealousy.
The more powerful his beloved woman was, and the more hidden means she possessed, the more reassured he felt.
With the treasure vault swept clean, Shen Liuxing, Long'er, and Xiao Hu quickly gathered around Zi Lingling.
"Sister Zi, is there something wrong with this brick?" Shen Liuxing asked curiously.
Before Zi Lingling could reply, Long'er said with a cute smile, "Master, there is a space behind this brick. I can smell the scent of treasure!"
Xiao Hu also nodded its little head adorably.
Zi Lingling, with a surprised delight, petted Long'er's head and asked, "Long'er, do you have a way to open this space?"
Long'er nodded vigorously and said, "Master, to forcibly enter another space, one simply needs to input spatial force into the spatial node! Look!"
As Long'er spoke, it summoned a trace of spatial force and directed it at the brick.
For the dragon race, who naturally controlled space, mobilizing spatial force was as easy as flipping one's hand.
"Bang!"
The moment the spatial force struck the brick, the entire treasure vault shook violently.
Immediately, the brick emitted a piercing grinding sound and sank deeply into the wall.
Then, a powerful suction force emanated from the sunken brick, instantly enveloping Zi Lingling, Shen Liuxing, Long'er, and Xiao Hu.
The two humans and two divine beasts blinked, and found themselves standing in a square room.
The room was not large, almost entirely occupied by a massive coffin.
This coffin was actually crafted from a complete Jianmu divine tree, radiating a soft divine light.
"Prodigal son!" Shen Liuxing exclaimed with heartache.
"What a lavish expenditure!" Zi Lingling also said, her heart aching.
She had initially thought that Feng Liqi, who built the Goddess Hall with a Nine-Coiled Lovesick Vine for a swing and a Bodhi tree for a courtyard, was already extravagant and wasteful.
But now, compared to the person who built this coffin, that was merely a minor affair.
A Jianmu divine tree!
That was one of the Four Divine Trees!
Even a withered branch had fetched an exorbitant price at auction.
But what was before them?
Someone had used an entire Jianmu divine tree to construct a coffin. This was not mere prodigality, but a level of wastefulness so extreme it made one's parents open the door for extravagance.
"Master! There are treasures inside this coffin!"
Long'er said, its eyes shining as it stared at the massive coffin.
Xiao Hu also nodded its tiger head repeatedly, eager to rush forward and open the coffin.
Zi Lingling nodded and released her divine sense, attempting to perceive the contents of the coffin.
However, as soon as her divine sense touched the coffin, it was repelled.
