With three superpowers at his fingertips, he could dominate the 1970s.

Jiang Zhiyu was completely unaware of what was going on in their private life; she spent her days at home taking care of her two children and helping them practice their supernatural abilities.

We must ensure they have complete control over their abilities; otherwise, even with guards accompanying them daily, there's a risk of uncontrollable factors arising. At night, we'll take them into the space to bathe in the spiritual spring and drink its water, allowing their physical condition to fully catch up, thus accelerating the upgrade of their abilities.

Song Zhiyao's little cloud can already be controlled at will, and Song Zhizheng's little sapling is also well controlled. Although it is not as flexible as his sister, it is quite remarkable for his age.

This peaceful period lasted less than half a month before Wang Zhaixing and Li Mancang entered the house covered in injuries.

Jiang Zhiyu was stunned for a moment when she saw the wounds on their bodies.

"Where did you guys go? Why did you get yourselves into this state?"

The two were in a terrible state, their lips were chapped, and they looked like they had just returned from the apocalypse. The only thing that was relatively clean was their clothes.

Wang Zhaixing sat down at the stone table opposite Jiang Zhiyu, picked up the pot on the table, poured himself a cup of water and started drinking, then poured another cup for Li Mancang. After the two of them had gulped down their drinks, Li Mancang finally spoke.

"There hasn't been much going on at the bureau lately, and since you're busy too, we went on a trip to the northwest. We went there based on my guess, but we couldn't find it."

Wang Zhaixing also chimed in at the opportune moment.

"I thought Mancang's guess was wrong, so I recalculated it, but we still couldn't find it. We even lost our way there, encountered a strange magnetic field, and almost couldn't get back."

Jiang Zhiyu went inside and brought them some of her home's food.

"Did you two just get off the train?"

The two nodded as they stuffed buns into their mouths.

"I came straight here as soon as I got off the train. The magnetic field around there is very strange. The compass spins randomly, and you can't even see the sun clearly. We wandered around inside for three days and three nights and almost didn't make it out."

"Host, no wonder you said the timing wasn't right for those two places; they went but couldn't find anything. It seems the items at those two places have changed."

"What should I do, host? If we can't find us, will we never be able to gather everyone? Will I be unable to level up?"

"What's the rush?" Jiang Zhiyu didn't ask them any more questions. Let them have a good meal first.

After the two of them had finished eating and sat down rubbing their stomachs, Jiang Zhiyu asked.

"Didn't I say we'd go together? The timing's wrong; we won't find it even if we go."

"We were just trying our luck, who could have imagined this?" Wang Zhaixing sighed. "Seeing that you still have two children to take care of and you have a mission to go on, we thought we'd bring it back for you ahead of time, but things went wrong."

"Alright, you two go back and rest. Three days from now, the three of us will set off together. I want to see what's so strange about this place."

Three days later, after settling the children in, Jiang Zhiyu set off with Wang Zhaixing and Li Mancang.

The three of them went directly to the Qilian Mountains.

Wang Zhaixing led the way with a compass, but the compass needle kept trembling slightly and the direction was not stable.

"The magnetic field is still problematic this time," he frowned. "The direction of the earth's veins here is different from what I calculated before."

Li Mancang walked in the middle with his equipment on his back. He was responsible for recording the terrain and geological features.

Jiang Zhiyu walked at the back, constantly using her mental energy to sense the surrounding environment.

"It's around here," Li Mancang said, flipping through his notebook. "According to ancient records and my calculations, the bronze winged figure should be buried in the mountains around here."

Wang Zhaixing raised the compass, but the needle spun even more violently.

"No, the magnetic field here is too chaotic; the compass can't determine the direction at all."

Jiang Zhiyu closed her eyes and slowly released her spiritual energy.

Her spiritual power spread outwards like an invisible net. Ordinary people's spiritual power can only sense surface matter, but her spiritual power, tempered by the spiritual spring and through multiple evolutions, can penetrate deep into rock strata and sense the presence of special substances such as metals and mineral veins.

At first, she only sensed ordinary rocks, mineral veins, and groundwater, but when she sensed a location about 300 meters deep in the mountain, she detected an unusual fluctuation.

It was an extremely faint metallic resonance, and Jiang Zhiyu's eyes lit up.

"Found it," she opened her eyes, "deep in the mountain, about three hundred meters away, slightly northeast."

Wang Zhaixing and Li Mancang exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes.

The three followed Jiang Zhiyu's directions into the mountainside, but the further they went, the more difficult the path became. The cliffs were steep, and in many places there was no path at all; they had to climb using both their hands and feet.

When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, they discovered a crevice. The crevice was very narrow, only wide enough for one person to pass sideways, but it was pitch black and bottomless inside.

Jiang Zhiyu used her mental power to sense the area and said, "Go in from here."

Wang Zhaixing squeezed in first, followed by Li Mancang, and then Jiang Zhiyu.

Inside the crack was a naturally formed cave, its walls covered with white stalactites, the ground damp, and the air filled with a humid, earthy smell.

The three turned on their flashlights and walked deeper into the area.

The cave grew deeper and narrower, with some sections requiring one to bend over to pass. After walking for about a mile, the space suddenly opened up, revealing a vast underground space.

In the center of the space stands a stone pillar, around which coils a stone snake. The snake's head is raised, and on its head rests a disc containing three bronze winged figures.

The bronze winged figure is covered with a thick layer of rust, but its shape is still discernible: humanoid, with wings on its back and a peaceful expression.

"This is it!" Li Mancang's voice trembled with excitement. "This is the exact shape described in ancient texts."

Jiang Zhiyu stepped forward and reached out to take the bronze winged figure, but as soon as her fingers touched one of the figures, the entire stone pillar suddenly began to shake.

"Watch out!" Wang Zhaixing shouted.

The stone pillar trembled more and more violently, and loose rocks began to fall from the cave ceiling. Jiang Zhiyu quickly withdrew her hand, and the trembling of the stone pillar stopped.

"There are mechanisms at play; we cannot take it by force."

She closed her eyes again and used her mental energy to carefully sense the internal structure of the stone pillar.

Sure enough, there was an extremely sophisticated mechanism inside the stone pillar. Three bronze winged figures were stuck in the slots. If they were pulled out directly, it would trigger the mechanism, causing the entire stone pillar to collapse, and possibly even a landslide.

Jiang Zhiyu condensed her mental energy into a thin thread and slowly probed it into the slot inside the disc. Inside the slot were seven tiny protrusions, corresponding to seven different positions.

She pressed the seven protrusions in the order she sensed with her mental power.

Each time a button was pressed, the stone pillar vibrated, and more rubble fell from the cave ceiling.

Wang Zhaixing and Li Mancang stared at her nervously, neither daring to utter a sound.

When the sixth protrusion was pressed, the stone pillar began to vibrate violently.

Jiang Zhiyu took a deep breath and pressed the seventh button.

With a "click," the mechanism opened, and the bronze winged figure was gently ejected.

Jiang Zhiyu reached out and caught it, and the shaking of the stone pillar stopped.

"It's done," she breathed a sigh of relief. "Let's go, get out of here quickly, it's not safe."

The three returned the way they came, and just as they emerged from the crack, a loud crash came from behind them, and the crack collapsed.

Wang Zhaixing glanced back, still shaken.

"Thank goodness, if we had come out even a moment later we would have been buried."

Li Mancang patted his chest.

"Thanks to Director Jiang, otherwise the three of us would all be stuck here today."

Jiang Zhiyu remained silent, looking at the bronze winged figure in her hand, wondering why this place had such intricate mechanisms.

Never mind, I don't want to think about it too much. Let's go to Mingsha Mountain first.
