Seeing the twenty hints appearing in his head, Chen Chen immediately felt reassured, and his firm and grim expression started to slack off as well.
“Brother, I feel there are some great things around here, do you dare to go adventuring with me?”
Chen Chen looked at Zhang Ji with a smile. He was just afraid that they would not find anything after the search, which would be very awkward. Fortunately, such a thing does not happen.
Of course I did! Zhang Ji agreed firmly, looking determined.
He would not hold a grudge if he ventured through the raging flames and surfed at the high tide for Chen Chen, let alone go treasure hunting with him.
“Good! Follow me then! “
After he spoke, Chen Chen departed with his horse in a certain direction, while Zhang Ji followed behind.
After notifying the other members of the army, the two of them disappeared into the forest.
A few moments later.
Chen Chen found a bush, and without saying a word, he started digging into the earth with the iron shovel he had prepared beforehand. After digging as deep as one meter, he finally saw the so-called ‘ treasure fragments. ‘
“Brother Chen, is this the treasure you are talking about?” Zhang Ji asked in astonishment as he looked at the rusty tip of the sword Chen Chen was holding in his hand.
“Yes, I have felt the softness of this thing from afar. This is something incredible! ”
Chen Chen put on a serious expression, but deep inside, he lacked confidence. The thing in his hand was no different from iron waste, and there was no response after he tried to implant it smoothly.
Is this thing really capable of fighting demons and evil?
Despite his doubts, he had to pretend as if he had found a precious treasure to astonish Zhang Ji, who was watching on the side.
“Let's go, we move on to the next destination. ”
After storing the fragments, Chen Chen rushed to the next target with Zhang Ji. This time, they traveled half an hour before arriving at the location.
Just as Chen Chen was about to start digging blindly, Zhang Ji grabbed the shovel from his hand.
“Brother Chen, leave this kind of rough work to me!”
After hearing Zhang Ji's words, Chen Chen did not refuse. Seriously, he then replied, “Brother, we have to dig six meters deep this time!”
When he heard “six meters”, Zhang Ji's countenance turned awkward. He then returned the spade to Chen Chen.
He was just an ordinary human, it took him an entire day to dig six meters down.
“Brother Chen, I'm a bit useless, right?”
As he saw Chen Chen digging the earth like a marmot, Zhang Ji asked cursing himself.
Immediately, Chen Chen's voice sounded from underground.
“Zhang Ji, you can definitely help me once you start the cultivation path! Besides, I won't call you brother anymore, it's too alienating. You should also stop calling me Brother Chen, just call me Chen Chen. ”
“Chen Chen ..” Zhang Ji muttered softly, but immediately shook his head.
How could he call his brother directly by his name! That would be a sign of disrespect!
After pondering for a moment, Zhang Ji shouted towards Chen Chen Chen's hole, “Sister Chen, if you feel alienated, how about I call you big brother from now on?”
“Like your heart!”
As Chen Chen finished his sentence, he climbed up from the hole. At this moment, he had been completely covered in dirt, no longer looking as polite as before. However, there was a one meter long piece of wood in his hand, which gave off a faint glow.
“Kakak Chen .. big brother, what kind of treasure is that?” Zhang Ji asked curiously.
Compared to the last piece of rusty iron he dug out, this piece of wood clearly looked more like a treasure because it glowed, unlike ordinary wood.
Chen Chen instantly became delighted as he looked at the Dragon Tamer Wood in his hand. This particular piece of wood was a real cultivation treasure. Regardless of the fruit he swallowed at the Black Wind Cliff, this piece of Dragon Tamer Wood was probably the most valuable item he had encountered so far.
“This is called the Dragon Tamer Wood, this is a world treasure nourished by the essence of the dragon vein underground. If any powerful immortal found this, they wanted to seize it for their own use. ”
Chen Chen introduced the artifact. However, it was the system that gave him information about the Dragon Tamer Wood. Even though he didn't quite understand, he knew it was phenomenal.
“Sister, you told me about this precious treasure, but aren't you afraid I'll tell someone about it?”
When he finished listening to the introduction, Zhang Ji's countenance became extremely complicated.
After hearing Zhang Ji's reply, Chen Chen patted him on the shoulder and said, “We are brothers, we have to trust each other. ”
“Boy brother! You'll be my sister forever! “
“Alright, stop that silly talk, follow me to the next location. ”
…
Just like that, three hours have passed.
Chen Chen and Zhang Ji arrived at the last location.
It was a cave, which was very deep and calm. From its outer appearance alone, one would not be able to see any traces of activity left behind by others in the past.
However, Chen Chen saw some faint words written on the green moss on the stone wall of the cave.
“Gua Heaven Spring Layu”.
Based on its appearance alone, it could have been displaced for several thousand years. If Chen Chen had not found it, the cave of heaven might have been wasted until the end of time.
“Big brother, your subtle feeling is so sharp that you can feel the treasure from afar, is everything that is immortal as amazing as you?”
After witnessing Chen Chen Chen's prowess, Zhang Ji grew even more envious of him.
When could he obtain a skill that would allow him to hunt for treasures anywhere?
After hearing Zhang Ji's statement, Chen Chen smiled shyly and replied, “Not necessarily, it's just because some kind of talent has been activated in me after I started cultivating, <TAG1>, which makes me very sensitive to the vibration of treasures. However, you do not need to be discouraged. Once you start the cultivation path, you will probably acquire some unique talents as well. ”
Could there be no special talent at all? If there really wasn't, Chen Chen would still concoct the talent to give to him.
Zhang Ji followed Chen Chen into the cave with a face full of anticipation.
The inside of the cave has been taken over by vines and tendrils now, and its past history is nowhere to be seen.
When they arrived at a location defined by the system, Chen Chen finally managed to see the contours of the several stone rooms around him.
On the wall beside the stone room was a half-rotting bookshelf, where quite a number of books were placed. Some books had fallen to the ground and were covered by green moss.
“Zhang Ji, search around, and see if there are any useful books. ”
This stone room contained nearly a hundred books, so Chen Chen did not hesitate to ask Zhang Ji for help.
The books scattered around might not be important to the former cave owner, but as far as cultivation beginners like him were concerned, they were filled with extremely valuable knowledge.
“Sure! Big brother!” Seeing that he was finally useful, Zhang Ji immediately started flipping through the books secretly.
…
“Sister, this is a collection of low-level elixir recipes, do you need it?”
“Ya, take it!”
“How about the Gengjin Sword Technique?”
“Iya!”
“Heavenly Water Transformation To Rain?”
“Iya!”
Romantic Fairy Lingluo Recording?
“... Forget it, just take it all. ”
Finally, after searching through many books, Chen Chen found the ‘Classic of Demon Atonement’ he was looking for in the end, and instantly lost interest in searching through other books.
To be honest, each book was precious in its own right. No matter there were nearly a hundred of them, after all he was a cultivation, would he not be able to memorize them?
“Good . As Zhang Ji spoke, he took off the robe he was wearing and packed all the books.
Right at that moment, his gaze was fixed on the bookshelf.
“Sister, come here and see. What is this?”
Chen Chen followed his gaze, and found an extremely beautiful wooden box at the very top of the bookshelf. Even after the baptism of time, it showed no signs of decay other than a hint of dust.
“That's a good thing. ”
A thought flashed across Chen Chen's mind. He took a slight leap and took the wooden box.
He then opened it and found two elixir-sized potions. Even to this day, they exuded a dense and rich ethereal air.
“System, what is the most valuable item within the nearest twenty meters? You are excluded! ”
“Home master, there are two expired Foundation Builders Elixir. Although they could no longer carry out their original functions, ordinary people and cultivators at the qi training stage could increase their cultivation status marginally by consuming them. ”
“Tsk, it doesn't matter if it's expired, I don't mind. After hearing the system explanation, Chen Chen took one of the elixirs and swallowed it into his stomach.
In an instant, an extremely dense wave of refinement swept across all of his limbs and bones.
“Sister, what is this? What if it's poisonous? ” Zhang Ji asked in surprise.
“It's some expired food, be satisfied with it!” Chen Chen replied. Before Zhang Ji could answer, he stuffed the other one into Zhang Ji's mouth.
…
Meanwhile, on the trail, several dozen tall and powerful horsemen had surrounded the carriages where they were parked.
As for the three drivers Zhang Ji and the two bodyguards, they trembled in fear amidst the crowd.
“We finally caught up with you! I'm asking you, did you kill our young master! ” The rider in the lead asked in a fierce voice, his eyes filled with murderous rays.
The young master they led had died suddenly. If they could not even find the killer, how could they report their mission?
Previously, Chen Chen Chen's troops set off in a hurry, moments before sunrise. As far as the following group could see, the carriages on the path were the most suspicious.
Following those suspicions, they took the time to chase the carriage all the way to the mountains, and only managed to catch up.
