C231 A Fortuitous Encounter on the Mountain
C231 A Fortuitous Encounter on the Mountain
When he got home, he found that his parents were not there, not a single person. He had been busy the whole day in Spring City, and the moment he arrived, he felt completely relaxed.
He fell asleep in a daze, falling into a deep slumber. In the middle, Li Mei found Chen Long had come back and told him to get up to eat, but he didn't shout. Helplessly, she covered Chen Long with a blanket and walked out.
When Chen Long woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the evening. He was lying in bed stunned for a while. He suddenly remembered that he had not checked his goods and sat up in excitement.
Especially that small cauldron; Chen Long valued it a lot!
He quickly took out all the items from the Yin-Yang Nether Domain and placed them on the bed before starting to inspect them one by one.
The first was the purple diamond ring that Chen Long bought. He had already carefully examined it for a long time. With a glance, he put it aside. Once he had time to refine it, he would be able to give it to Chen Ke Er.
The second item was a jade pendant. After a careful inspection, Chen Long found that there wasn't much spiritual energy left within it. Although there were also spiritual energy fluctuations, they couldn't be used to carry a spiritual formation and could only be sold for money.
Only two of them could be used to carry Spiritual Arrays. The rest could only be used to sell them, but they were all very good items and were worth a lot, so they should be able to make a lot of money.
Soon after, Chen Long solemnly took out the small cauldron and carefully inspected it. He even injected his spiritual energy into it, wanting to explore the mysteries within. After all, this small cauldron emitted the most intense spiritual energy fluctuations!
However, the more Chen Long probed, the more serious he became. His brows were tightly knitted together and a big question mark appeared in his heart, "What is going on?!"
As long as it was an item that could bear the spiritual energy, as long as the spiritual energy was injected inside, it would emit light. The stronger the bearing capacity, the brighter the light would be.
However, this small cauldron was very strange. No matter how much spiritual energy Chen Long poured into it, it was like a clay ox entering the sea. There was no response at all from the small cauldron!
This confused Chen Long. Logically speaking, an item that emitted spiritual energy should be able to bear spiritual energy. Could it be that he didn't have enough spiritual energy?
That's not right!
Chen Long quickly denied his own guess, because under the observation of his spiritual will, no matter how much spiritual energy he poured into it, the spiritual energy waves emitted by the small cauldron didn't increase in the slightest.
This was truly strange. Although he could bear the Spiritual Energy, he could not absorb it. What was going on?
Chen Long felt like he had almost used up all of his brain cells, but he was still unable to come up with an answer. He could only put it down bitterly and pick up the last item, the ancient sword, that he found before he left.
"Remember that when the sun rises, the sword once absorbed purple qi. I wonder what extraordinary abilities it has!" Chen Long muttered to himself.
Casually hitting a strand of Spiritual Energy in, he circulated the Ling Tian Sword Art. With a wave of his hand, a sword light shot up into the sky, smashing through the roof and disappearing without a trace.
Chen Long looked through the gap in the window and saw the night sky above him. It was full of stars and was extremely bright. He was dumbstruck, "Damn, it's really amazing!"
However, the surprise was followed by joy. Chen Long fondly played with it for a long time before solemnly putting it away. For a long time, he didn't have a proper weapon. This was one of Chen Long's biggest problems.
It was too ugly to use a knife!
There was no standard way to use a fist!
Use a gun...
A cold light flashed, and the spear thrust out like a dragon!
It was indeed very handsome, but this thing had too big of a goal, so it wasn't suitable!
But the sword was different. The sword was the weapon of a gentleman, the weapon of the king. Whether in history or legends, the king of swords was a master of the way of the sword!
Therefore, the sword was the perfect weapon in Chen Long's heart. It was easy to carry around, and Chen Long's training in the Ling Tian Sword Manual had not faltered. The most important thing was that he was very handsome with the sword!
After his excitement, Chen Long sorted out the items and suddenly realized a very important problem!
What should he do with the roof?
The main problem was how to explain to his parents that there was a crack in the roof for no reason!
This gave Chen Long a headache. Without any other choice, he quickly found two chairs and stacked them together. Then, he used the ancient sword to slash a few times at the cracks to make them look like they were natural cracks.
"Let's do it like this. We'll find someone to make up for it tomorrow!"
Chen Long clapped his hands and proudly looked at the fruits of his labour. He stretched his back and walked outside, intending to take a walk.
After leaving the house, Chen Long lazily wandered around on the street. Fortunately, no one came out in the middle of the night. If anyone saw him, they would catch him as a thief even if they didn't see him as a ghost.
It was unknown when a full moon had appeared in the sky. The moonlight was bright and cool, and bursts of cool wind were blowing. As the trees on Phoenix Mountain swayed, they emitted a burst of rustling sounds that scattered in all directions.
Eh? Why am I here...
Chen Long looked around speechlessly, and discovered that he had unknowingly arrived at the foot of the Phoenix Mountain. However, thinking about how Yue Ye had a bit of fun climbing the mountain, he faintly smiled and walked up the mountain.
At night, Phoenix Mountain was incomparably tranquil, and was completely different from the bustling scene during the day. However, it seemed that because of this, even the spirit energy had become a lot denser.
While he was absorbing spiritual energy, he was also climbing up. Although Chen Long's footsteps were not fast, he was moving quickly. With every step he took, he actually moved a lot faster!
Shrinking the earth into an inch!
Unknowingly, Chen Long had cultivated this sacred art to the Initial Stage. With a single step, he could move ten meters forward!
"He's only at the initial stage. If he can cultivate to mastery, or even mastery, then Tian Ya will be within reach. Where can he not go?" Chen Long sighed with regret.
If any of the seniors who had previously trained before were to hear Chen Long's dissatisfaction, they would definitely beat him up without hesitation. Damn it, if you get lucky and act like you don't, do you know how difficult it is to train?!
Suddenly, Chen Long's face darkened. He turned around and shouted, "Who is it?"
Rustle …
After a light sound, no one stood up.
This made Chen Long a little impatient and he sneered, "You came out, right? Fine, I will personally drag you out! "
Shrinking the earth into an inch!
Chen Long's body flashed and appeared behind a big tree. Under the tree was a natural tree hole, and inside the tree hole, there was a figure!
"Come out!"
Chen Long shouted and pulled the person inside out. However, when he clearly saw the person's appearance, he was dumbfounded!
This person had bright eyebrows and white teeth. His skin was extremely white, and although his clothes were somewhat worn out, they were very neat, as if he had just woken up. His eyes stared at Chen Long in confusion, seemingly somewhat surprised that he had been discovered!
"Sun Ning?!"
Chen Long couldn't help but exclaim.
That's right, the person who had been dragged out by Chen Long was Mrs. Zhang's daughter-in-law, Sun Ning!
"Chen..." "Chen Long?"
At this time, Sun Ning also came back to his senses. He looked at Chen Long in surprise, then said with a panicked expression, "What do you want to do?" Did Zhao Dabao send you here? "
"Zhao Dabao?"
Chen Long was startled. He quickly shook his head and said, "No, how could I be sent by him …"
"Then what are you doing up the mountain so late at night?" Sun Ning still didn't quite believe Chen Long's words as he asked with a doubtful expression.
Thinking about it, that was true. Who would go out on the mountain so late at night to wander around?
Chen Long rubbed his nose and explained, "Just take it as if I'm crazy. I really wasn't sent by Zhao Dabao. It's impossible that you didn't hear about my relationship with him, right?"
"I've heard of it!"
Sun Ning thought about it for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then what are you doing up the mountain so late at night?"
"Me? I can't sleep, come out and take a look!" "Why don't you go home and do something on the mountain? Zhao Dabao is looking for you? "
"You don't know?" Sun Ning asked.
Seeing Sun Ning's calm expression, Chen Long suddenly felt his heart ache. He shook his head and said, "I haven't been in the village for the past few days. What happened?"
"Ai!"
Sun Ning let out a faint sigh. Lowering his head and fiddling with the fallen leaves at his feet, he softly said, "Zhao Dabao found my mother-in-law and said that he wanted to spend ten thousand dollars to marry me away …"
Ten thousand dollars?
You want to marry a beauty like Sun Ning with such little money?
The scene of Zhao Dabao's fat body pressing down on Sun Ning's body suddenly appeared in Chen Long's mind. He suddenly felt extremely disgusted. He quickly shook his head and asked, "Your mother-in-law … she definitely …"
"She agreed!"
Sun Ning interrupted Chen Long and shook his head. His voice was cold and emotionless, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
My heart is dead!
This was what Chen Long felt like. Sun Ning looked like he was in his early twenties. He was at the moment when a girl was at her most beautiful, but he couldn't find any trace of vitality in her!
The rage was burning in his heart!
However, Chen Long knew that this was not the time to be angry. He forcefully suppressed his anger and asked, "And then?"
"Zhao Dabao would have brought me back today, but I ran out and hid here, and you found me!" Sun Ning shrugged his shoulders and answered.
"Then what do you want to do in the future?"
"What else can we do?"
Sun Ning looked at Chen Long and lowered his head. He said softly, "I know Zhao Dabao is just looking at me because I'm good-looking. Maybe he'll kick me away when he gets tired of playing with me, but what can I do?"
Saying this, Sun Ning paused for a moment, then continued, "I think it's better if I die!"
"No way!"
The anger in Chen Long's heart completely exploded. He pulled Sun Ning up from the ground and held her in his arms. He looked into her big eyes and said word by word, "I won't allow you to die!"
