    "Before reaching the room, Ding Huan whispered: "

    "Xin Yue, don't practice inside, neither practice spells, but think about the problems in the refining process. Old six, you are the same."

    Qi Xin Yue naturally listened to Ding Huan, and Lao Liu helplessly nodded.

    It is a cultivating monkey king, as long as it has any spare time, it will use it to make breakthroughs and challenge foundation-building demon cultivators.

    The treasure contributed by Ding Huan should have made a difference, which is why his room is the first one in the second character.

    As they approached the room, Ding Qi quickened his pace and overtook Ding Huan.

    When he was out of position with Ding Huan, he inserted something into Ding Huan's hand.

    Ding Huan didn't look at it but threw it into the Star House silently.

    The group soon arrived at the room.

    The room wasn't very big, and the total area wouldn't exceed ten square meters. There was a partition in the middle, which could adjust for three or four spaces.

    Ding Huan adjusted the room to three spaces. Ding Huan was at the farthest end, Old Six was on the left side, and Qi Xin Yue was on the right side.

    A faint spiritual thought swept over, startling Ding Huan.

    From the moment he entered the Lord's Mansion, he had not released his own spiritual thoughts.

    In his opinion, including Sang Yuhe and the other five powerful beings, there should be spiritual thoughts in existence.

    But from beginning to end, he never sensed any spiritual thoughts at all.

    Suddenly, a spiritual thought swept over, making him even more cautious.

    His guess was indeed correct. These people all had spiritual thoughts, but he didn't know who the spiritual thought that swept over just now belonged to.

    Ding Huan, despite not understanding the array path, had been exposed to a fair amount of array laws.

    Moreover, he is currently studying the path of talismans, which, from a certain perspective, is actually similar to the array path.

    Both come from the changes of the earth, sky, and creatures. As soon as Ding Huan stepped into this room, he felt that some sort of array had been set up here.

    "Little Earth, I…"

    As Qi Xin Yue opened her mouth to speak upon entering the room, Ding Huan laughed and cut her off preemptively:

    "What's there to worry about? Master Sang and the other elders are all above board. This time, we've received the care of several elders."

    Remember, as long as we do everything according to the elders' instructions, that's all."

    "I understand." Qi Xin Yue nodded.

    She really knew.

    Ding Huan's words were not meant for Qi Xin Yue but for the elders in question.

    Since the elders in question are not here, Ding Huan saying that is a sign that there may be surveillance here.

    Ding Huan is certain that there are no technological monitoring devices in this room, but he is also certain that his actions can be monitored by others.

    So, it is very likely that this is a monitoring array.

    Ding Huan very honestly returned to his compartment and sat down, closing his eyes.

    His spiritual thoughts permeated into the Star House where Ding Qi had given him something.

    It was just a piece of paper, on which there was only one line of writing:

    "Don't check for cultivation. If I didn't guess wrong, taking these geniuses away wasn't a good thing. They are likely to be sold to those who need to take over their bodies."

    Seeing this line of words, the cold sweat behind Ding Huan's back trickled out.

    He was planning to find an opportunity to tell Sang Yuhe that Qi Xin Yue's spiritual root and cultivation potential should be very good.

    He could imagine that if he really did this, wouldn't it be harming Qi Xin Yue?

    The concept of taking a new body was all too clear to Ding Huan; he dared not go near the ten-thousand-year-old cypress in Luohe City, for fear of being taken over.

    Indeed, he is still too kind-hearted, always unconsciously thinking the best of others.

    That's right, since Sang Yuhe and the others had helped him, he subconsciously felt that these people were quite good.

    But from the behavior of Sang Yuhe and the others, it seems they are not people sent by the official organization.

    If that is the case, then why would others risk their lives to transport these geniuses to advanced star territories, doing good deeds?

    Ding Qi is indeed a good person, knowing how to repay favors.

    Ding Huan decided to start studying the Great Calculation Technique, while also calculating his own situation.

    With his current calculation ability, he can only predict ten days or so ahead.

    Ten days later, nothing happened. The spaceship sped forward, and no one came to look for them.

    However, every two days, someone sent a modest amount of food over.

    If they had no cultivation, this would ensure they wouldn't starve to death.

    Qi Xin Yue is a girl who can endure loneliness. As long as Ding Huan is by her side, she can endure even without doing anything.

    Moreover, Ding Huan gave her two books on herb analysis and ore analysis, so she had something to study when she wasn't doing anything.

    At the same time, she also wanted to think about her own cultivation issues.

    As for the contents of the path of talismans, Ding Huan dared not show them to Qi Xin Yue.

    It's not that he was afraid of wasting Qi Xin Yue's time, but rather that in this place, they were constantly being monitored.

    Old Liu could simply go into a hibernation state all day, not knowing whether it was thinking about how it had once been able to construct a foundation, or how to truly construct a foundation.

    Only Ding Huan, who studied the Great Calculation Technique every day, made progress in his ability to calculate day by day.

    What struck him as particularly strange was that in the Four Directions Starland, each calculation could clearly produce an image.

    However, when calculating here, he couldn't clearly see images of the stronger beings on the ship besides himself and Qi Xin Yue.

    On the tenth day, he pushed the calculation again, and it seemed that his calculation ability had increased. However, the result of the calculation did not appear.

    This made Ding Huan even more puzzled.

    Thus, the spaceship entered a relatively quiet period.

    Before long, half a year had passed, and Ding Huan's calculation ability soared.

    After a year of studying the Great Calculation Technique, the Linked Hidden Dao he had obtained from the jade slips seemed to him as simple and superficial as a baby learning to speak.

    At the same time, Ding Huan faintly felt that the results of his calculations for those with strong cultivation were always vague.

    It's not that his calculation ability is insufficient; it's very likely that his cultivation level is not high enough.

    That day, Ding Huan continued as usual to deduce what would happen in the coming days.

    If it didn't involve those strong beings, he could easily deduce events within a month; if he worked harder, he could even predict events further in the future.

    As soon as he involved those strong beings, his calculation results instantly became vague.

    Ding Huan was mainly for those strong beings, and even if the results were blurred, he still had to make the calculations.

    At first, it was still plain and ordinary. When Ding Huan calculated to the third day after the current date, he nearly shocked out loud.

    He saw Ding Qi killed, and the picture was very vague, to the point where it was almost unclear.

    He wouldn't have believed Ding Qi was killed if it weren't for seeing the head cut off.

    It was a figure so blurry that it was almost unrecognizable, who chopped off Ding Qi's head.

    Ding Huan panicked, and if Ding Qi was killed, he would be killed too. Is this a black ship?

    But why would a black ship wait half a year to kill Ding Qi?

    During his calculation, Ding Qi seemed to have taken out something. He was only calculating the overall safety of the spaceship and did not involve personal matters.

    If the actions of each person have to be calculated, it would require more energy and time.

    Moreover, he couldn't even calculate a clear image for the strong beings.

    But now he has to calculate why Ding Qi was killed, as it concerns his own life.

    This time, Ding Huan chose Ding Qi for the calculation, and as the Great Calculation Technique operated, he saw Ding Qi again in the calculation process.

    On the third day, Ding Qi suddenly pulled out an ancient book from his bosom.

    This time, Ding Huan saw clearly. The title on the cover of the book was four ancient characters: Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.

    Ding Huan felt a chill run down his scalp. Is there really a Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror?

    Many people believe that the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror is the Earth Book of the Three Books of Heaven, Man, and Earth. Ding Huan thought that even if the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror is not the Earth Book, it must have some connection to it.

    It is very likely that it is a part of the Earth Book, and the invaluable Treasure of Land and Sea is another part.

    This is the treasure of Zhong Yuanzi, which can understand everything.

    As for calculating the past and future, that is only a small part of its capabilities. Besides that, the book contains the most advanced Taoist practices.

    Since the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror appeared, it is likely that Zhong Yuanzi really exists.

    No wonder Ding Qi was killed by a single sword. The emergence of such a treasure, it's no wonder he was killed.

    Ding Qi must have cultivated the martial arts from the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, which means he might only be at the foundation-cultivation level.

    A foundation-cultivation level can even compete with those who have cultivated above the self-created foundation, and even gain the upper hand. The martial arts he practices must be incredibly impressive.

    If this guy really practices the martial arts from the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, he definitely has the ability to do so.

    Ding Qi is a cautious person; he didn't even practice cultivation when he first came in.

    He should have encountered some problems while meditating on the martial arts.

    He pondered for a long time without getting an answer, so he dared to take out the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.

    However, he was not aware that there was a monitoring array in his room.

    Ding Huan hesitated for a moment and decided to remind Ding Qi.

    If the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror on Ding Qi's body was detected, would these people come to investigate him?

    The conclusion was that they would definitely come to investigate him, even if it meant mistakenly killing him, they wouldn't let it slide.

    Thinking of this, Ding Huan carefully penetrated his own thoughts.

    As Ding Huan's mind reached out to Ding Qi, the latter was clearly surprised.

    "Don't take out anything; there's a monitoring array here..." After leaving this message, Ding Huan quickly withdrew his thoughts.

    Ding Huan's heart was quite nervous.

    Although his thoughts were strong, and even now they were solid, he wasn't sure if this kind of message would be discovered.

    Relief washed over Ding Huan as, after he had warned Ding Qi, everything returned to normal, and nothing untoward happened.

    Ding Huan immediately began to deduce future events.

    With Ding Huan's warning, the future events would definitely change.

    Ding Huan was calculating whether this change would involve him.

    An hour later, Ding Huan finally relaxed.

    No events had occurred, and he had nothing, and neither did Ding Qi.

    It seemed that Ding Qi had heeded his warning.

    In fact, Ding Qi was even more shocked than Ding Huan.

    He had endured for almost half a year, and there was always a problem that he could not solve, which was not coming out.

    Thinking of the six months he had spent here with nothing happening, he decided to take out the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror to take a look.

    He cultivated the martial arts of the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror, but he still couldn't figure it out. Although it was a bit better than Zhan Chang Sheng, it was still a mediocre difference.

    So he was just like Zhan Chang Sheng, even after he cultivated to foundation level, he didn't cultivate out his thoughts.

    Just as he was about to lose control, Ding Huan's reminder jolted him awake.

    This was someone else's spaceship, and the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror was just a thing. If he took it out and was discovered by others, it would be nothing but death.

    Thinking about how he almost killed himself, cold sweat instantly broke out on his forehead.

    Who reminded him just now?

    The only one who can remind him here is Ding Huan.

    Could Ding Huan be a hidden high-level expert?

    Ding Qi quickly confirmed his thoughts; if he could hide, why couldn't Ding Huan?

    Thank you, Ding Qi silently thanked Ding Huan.

    His emotions had completely settled, and he no longer felt the urge to look at the Heaven and Earth Treasure Mirror.
