Feeling curious, Yao Zhi looked around and realized that they were actually standing at the edge of a cliff. In front of her was a vast scenery of blue sky, villages, lakes, towns, and cities. She could even see the border wall from here.

"Ye Ying, Bai Xue, are we on the top of the mountain?" she asked in disbelief.

Both of her wolves nodded and stared at her as if asking for praise. Yao Zhi was speechless and went silent for a while.

In the end, she could only rub their necks and said, "Both of you are amazing." After a moment of pause, she added, "But, there is nothing here."

Hearing this, Bai Xue nudged her back gently. Being pushed by it, Yao Zhi walked forward. She noticed that her wolves might want to show her something, so she followed them.

They walked for half an hour before they saw a cave entrance in the distance. "Where are you taking me?" she asked with raised brows.

Her wolves continued nudging and biting at her sleeves, asking her to follow them. Without any choice, she followed them and walked toward the cave.

From the outside, the cave looked nothing special. The entrance was hidden behind lush vegetation and old trees. If not for the wolves, she wouldn’t have noticed that there was a cave here.

Since the sunlight couldn’t illuminate the inside, Yao Zhi took out a flashlight from her system’s storage and followed behind Ye Ying. Bai Xue walked behind her as the wolves protected her in the middle.

With the illumination of the flashlight, she finally saw the cave clearly. When the light shone on the wall, a hint of green could be seen inside the stone wall.

For a moment, a guess flashed in Yao Zhi’s mind. "System, help me scan this cave and the area around it."

The second she said this, a mechanical voice echoed in her mind. "Scanning in process."

While she followed her wolves, she waited patiently. One minute later, she heard the system’s notification. "Scanning complete. Discover an underground river located 200 meters below the surface. Discover a large jade mine."

As soon as the mechanical voice disappeared, two blue screens popped up in front of her.

One of the blue screens showed the map where the underground river was located, complete with the safest path to reach the river. Another blue screen showed the jade mine.

In the second blue screen, Yao Zhi saw that the entire mountain was actually the jade mine. She heard about a jade mine located in Burma that covered an area of over 32,000 acres. That was the largest jade mine in her previous world.

Compared to that jade mine, the one she found right now was even bigger. As she read the information, she couldn’t help but take a sharp breath.

A total of 54,320 acres filled with rough jade. Such a massive jade mine, if they could mine it, the annual income would be unimaginable.

Since this jade mine was located at the border between the Great Yan Kingdom and the grassland tribes’ territory, she wondered if this would be the trigger that caused a war in the future.

If only she could cultivate, she might be able to use the mountain barrier written in the Qimen Dunjia records to block uninvited entry.

As if knowing what she was thinking, a notification sound echoed in her mind. With a ding, the system’s mechanical voice followed.

Ding!

As a blue screen popped out in front of her, the system’s voice echoed in her mind, "Congratulations, Host! The reward for providing medicine, water, soap, and food to the disaster victims is here!"

"As per the Host’s agreement with the world consciousness, 10% of the merit points the Host receives from the reward will be deducted automatically. Please take note."

Since she was inside the cave, Yao Zhi closed the blue screens and checked her surroundings. She walked for a long time before she heard the faint sound of water.

Noticing that they were near the underground river, she asked, "Ye Ying, Bai Xue, where are you both taking me?"

Hearing her words, Bai Xue held her palm in its mouth gently and tugged at it. Since they couldn’t communicate with her, she had no other choice but to follow them.

They walked for another 20 minutes before they arrived at the end of the tunnel.

She thought that they would reach the underground river, but when she looked out, she realized that the underground river was actually below them. Judging from the height, it should be around 10 meters below.

Before she could ask anything, Ye Ying lay on the ground, gesturing for her to sit on its back. Thinking that they had gone so far and she was curious about where her wolves had taken her, Yao Zhi climbed on its back and hugged its neck.

The next moment, the wolves bent their limbs and, with a steady, powerful leap, jumped across the cliff. Although the cliff was only around 5 meters wide, she still let out a yelp from fear.

Two seconds later, they landed on the other side of the cliff. When Ye Ying and Bai Xue brought her to another cave, her heart was still beating fast, and her knees were weak.

After calming down, she finally reprimanded her pets, "Ye Ying, Bai Xue, next time you should warn me first before doing something dangerous."

Although the wolves didn’t know what they did that was deemed dangerous by their master, they still nodded obediently. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Only after seeing their obedience did Yao Zhi let out a sigh and climb down from Ye Ying’s back. Standing on the solid ground, she looked around.

The cave was in the shape of a dome, and there was a massive, old tree in the center of it. The tree was at least 30 meters tall. The trunk was so big that it might need at least 40 to 50 people to wrap their arms around it.
