"Senior, is the Capital City still quite far away?"
Fu Chen and Xiao Jung were now stopping to rest, both of them sitting on the outskirts of the campfire. It had been three days since they had continued to use body lightening science to leave Tiemao City.
Luckily their trip was quite smooth and could shorten the time. So far Fu Chen still had not gotten a chance to check out his Earth Ring as they continued to run day and night and only stopped for a short break.
Xiao Jung yawned while rubbing his eyes slowly, then said, "Maybe two more weeks we will soon arrive if our speed is the same as before. After passing through one more City then it means the Capital is near."
Fu Chen let out a long sigh and then spread his body. "Finally stay a little longer," Fu Chen said limply.
Xiao Jung chuckled at her then looked up his head, staring at the darkness of the night from his eyes. "You'll soon get used to traveling like this over time. Maybe you'll even like it." Xiao Jung smiled faintly afterwards.
"I hope it happens." Fu Chen said slowly then closed his eyes. It was true that Xiao Jung said, he should enjoy things like this.
Perhaps in the future he would not have the opportunity to enjoy something like this with his friends because of the task he was carrying. The mission Tang Shu gave him was very heavy, he did not want to drag his friends into the matter.
Xiao Jung glanced at Fu Chen from the corner of his eyes for a while, then joined his body. "We're going to rest tonight, I'm a little sleepy after three days of running." Xiao Jung's eyes slowly began to shut.
However, Fu Chen actually did not intend to sleep, he continued to wait until Xiao Jung completely fell asleep, Fu Chen just wanted to make sure if his Earth Ring was really open. As Xiao Jung's snoring voice rang out Fu Chen immediately opened his eyes and sat down in a lotus position.
He re-flowed the qi on the Earth ring in his hand just like the first time he tried. Fu Chen drained out more qi energy as his first attempt nearly failed.
Fu Chen's eyes widened as he saw the same scene when he first opened it. "So this is all real?" fu Chen muttered with his mouth open.
Fu Chen poured more qi on the ring to ascertain what was inside. Fu Chen's forehead then furrowed as he felt the flow of his qi as if it was blocked by something. He tried to circulate even more qi until almost half of the qi energy within his body was drained.
"What's really going on?" Fu Chen closed his eyes firmly, his breath slightly hunting and a speck of sweat appeared on his forehead. The qi energy that he was flowing through was blocked by a large solid wall.
Fu Chen guessed that behind the wall contained heirlooms that were contested by warriors in the Central Continent. Perhaps this was what Tang Shu meant if the ring was guarded by the ancestral spirit of the Tang clan.
Just as Fu Chen was rearranging his breathing suddenly a hunk of light appeared in his mind. Fu Chen's forehead creased back, the chunk of light as if approaching him. Sure enough, that chunk of light turned out to be darting rapidly and aiming for Fu Chen's head.
Fu Chen was late to notice it so he could only banish the light with both hands. However, the light penetrated Fu Chen's hand and instantly entered his head.
"Geek!" Fu Chen choked, his head started to hurt after the light hit him. The pain then became more and more so that Fu Chen thrashed and gripped his hair firmly.
A while later the pain began to subside, Fu Chen's breath went back to hunting along with it. He gulped his saliva roughly and wiped the sweat that came out on his forehead.
"What's this?" Fu Chen was puzzled when suddenly his head was filled with so much information.
All the information that appeared in his head turned out to be about heirlooms and various pill names. Even so, the information was too much to make Fu Chen's head feel full and unable to contain it anymore.
Fu Chen tried to calm himself down, this information he got too suddenly. After nearly a minute of trying to calm himself down, Fu Chen then took a deep breath.
Fu Chen then tried to find out information about the object that he had discovered from the beginning when opening the Earth ring. "Let's see how many gold coins are in here" Fu Chen said with a grin.
Fu Chen was then shocked by the numbers that appeared in his head, he smiled bitterly as he rubbed his nape. "I think I should count it first. It's. hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands…"
Fu chen began to carve the zeros on the ground where he stood according to the number he had in his memory. After a while later, he gulped his saliva roughly.
"Hundreds of millions of gold coins? Wait... There are even two more numbers left?" Fu Chen again added the two zeros left behind then counted them again from the beginning to ascertain the number.
Fu Chen swallowed his saliva once more. "How rich is that clan actually? Even inside this ring alone has already passed the hundreds of millions, ck." Fu Chen's tongue clucked. "With this wealth I may have built my own kingdom."
Fu Chen only smiled wryly realizing all this time he had brought such a large sum of money, he himself was not sure if a kingdom was able to rival him. Despite his admiration, Fu Chen then studied all the information he got and looked at it.
After knowing most of the things in the ring, Fu Chen wanted to test it out by taking out a single piece of gold from there.
In one experiment it turned out that Fu Chen could do it easily, he only needed to imagine what objects he wanted to remove along with their names and numbers. Fu Chen tried it a few times then smiled widely.
"While it hasn't been fully open yet, the resources inside here are incredible. Maybe I can reach the level of General Fighter in less than a year with these resources." Fu Chen started to get excited thinking about it. He then stretched his body with a happy smile.
Fu Chen closed his eyes to reflect on the plans he was about to pursue. All his initial plans had changed due to the opening of the ring.
"What if I just sell useless heirlooms in this ring? I can't use them all anyway, right?" Fu Chen thought back to his words.
"But what am I selling it for if the money I have is even equivalent to the price of a Kingdom? Ah, shit!" Fu Chen was annoyed.
"Being rich isn't always fun." Fu Chen smiled wryly thinking about it. "What if I give Sin Lou and the others the heirlooms they want when they get home…? Yeah, it's better that way. They can also be counted on to guard the village."
Fu Chen thought again until his forehead wrinkled slightly. "Ah, right too. What if I follow that auction alone? Alright, I will think of a way to part with senior later. Now I just need to think about my disguise while in the Capital." Fu Chen smiled broadly.
Fu Chen then got up from his sleep and immediately sat in the lotus position. The qi energy he expended was enough to open the ring, he did not want to hinder the journey on the grounds of running out of qi later.
Fu Chen continued to recover until the sunlight hit his face, he opened his eyes slowly and found Xiao Jung who had prepared. Fu Chen rubbed his eyes for a moment and prepared his luggage.
"Do you still want to rest?" xiao Jung asked as he realized Fu Chen looked lethargic and tired.
"Ah, no. We can continue our journey as usual."
Xiao Jung shifted his gaze while stretching out his body. "Don't force yourself, we can postpone it until noon."
Fu Chen shook his head and smiled gently. "It's okay, I can recuperate during the trip."
Xiao Jung only sighed softly hearing that, they then continued on foot before finally using the science of lightening each other's bodies.
