Pick up the treasure bag and start cultivating immortals from the shrinking lamp.

Chapter 98: Age Dating Device

Colorful light filled Xia Chen's vision.

In a trance.

He seemed to see a river whose length was immeasurable, and whose beginning and end were unknown.

Ancient and vast, it seems to have existed since the beginning of the world.

"Maybe this is the long river of time and space!"

As soon as this thought came to Xia Chen's mind, his vision suddenly went dark.

overhead.

A three-foot-long, first-grade, mid-quality black-armored fish was swimming slowly.

There was also a red-striped river crab lying on his body, using its huge claws to pinch Xia Chen's body fiercely.

But I found that I couldn't clamp it at all.

Xia Chen swept the crab away and slowly crawled out of the river.

Everything looks familiar.

But in the familiarity, there seems to be a hint of strangeness.

Xia Chen flew towards the shantytown with the number Xu.

He was wearing the attire of an outer disciple of the Tianyan Immortal Sect, so he didn't have to worry about attracting attention.

The shantytowns thirteen years ago were very different.

Many familiar people were not present.

Like Zhang Wang and Zhou Hai.

Madam Xu and her husband Zhou Yang did not see it either.

I guess he hasn't become a spiritual farmer yet, or hasn't even joined the Immortal Sect.

Xia Chen also saw an acquaintance.

That’s Liu Sheng!
He was once the captain of the Xu-hao shantytown night patrol team.

Later, Xia Chen tricked him into severely injuring him with a golden bee, and finally killed him with the help of a mini plane.

Liu Sheng, now only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, is just an ordinary spiritual farmer in the Xu-shaped shantytown.

Xia Chen was not going to do anything to him, so as not to change history.

After all, in the early days, the fat Taoist Sun Hui's "Strange Insects Book" was of great help to him.

As for the original owner.

At this time, he had not yet entered the Tianyan Immortal Sect.

There was no need for Xia Chen to stay here, so he left the Xuzihao shantytown.
-

Although Luofeng City is not as prosperous as Tianshui City, it is the oldest city in Jin State and can even be traced back ten thousand years.

It is located in the northern border of Jin State, where the temperature is below zero all year round. The land is covered with permafrost and is extremely hard, so there are few living creatures.

The city looked very prosperous, with monks from other places everywhere.

There are shops on both sides of the street and the sounds of hawking are endless.

"There are many cultivators in the foundation-building stage, and even a golden elixir cultivator!"

Xia Chen was secretly shocked.

There are entrances to Hanging Mountain all over the mainland, one of which is near Luofeng City.

The Suspended Domain only opens once every five hundred years. This is a feast for the immortal cultivation world of the Jin State, and almost all major forces will escort their disciples here.

"The egg of the ancient alien purple lightning bird, which contains vitality, only costs one thousand low-grade spirit stones!"

"The third-level spiritual medicine, Flying Dragon Grass, can add 60 years to your lifespan. Be quick!"

"The incomplete treasure map is suspected to be related to the Taoist lineage of Master Dongxuan."

……

Many monks set up temporary stalls.

There are good and bad items among them, and the treasures for sale are a mixture of real and fake.

People who need to buy should carefully identify.

Xia Chen found a small inn to stay in.

Because it will take three or four days before the suspended area opens, we need to wait.

Perhaps due to the sudden increase in the number of cultivators in Luofeng City, housing prices are incredibly expensive, almost comparable to hotel prices in the central area of ​​Tianshui City.

early morning.

Xia Chen set up a formation around the room before taking out the newspaper date-changing mailbox.

Soon, the freshly-baked newspaper of the day was ready, carrying with it a strong scent of books and ink.

[The head of Liuyun Sect, True Man Qingming, led the three major disciples of the sect to move into Luofeng City]

[The great demon Pang Hu sneaks into the city and intends to send his children to the suspended area]

[Fan Wujiu, the Left Envoy of the Netherworld of the Huangquan Sect, secretly escorts five disciples of the Demon Sect]

……

Xia Chen took a quick glance.

For news about powerful Jindan masters, just looking at the title is enough.

As for the news content, there is basically no useful information.

"The Luofeng City nowadays is really a mixed bag. Even demons and monsters have sneaked in!" Xia Chen said to himself.

Generally, when a monster reaches the third level and condenses a monster pill, it can transform into a human form.

Most of the third-level monsters in the Shiwan Mountains follow the path of ancient ferocious beasts.

They are cruel and brutal. They will not transform into human form, but will constantly stimulate their own blood until they become like ancient ferocious beasts.

The transformed monsters became spirits, absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and practicing magic, much like human cultivators.

Both paths have their own advantages.

As for other news, it is more mixed, many of which are about various conflicts.

After all, there are demons, monsters and immortals mixed together in Luofeng City now, so conflict is inevitable.

There are also some leaked news.

Xia Chen took a look and found a few good leaks that were worth picking up.

The next day.

Xia Chen came to the stall of a middle-aged man wearing a conical hat.

There were only some tattered pieces on the ground, including torn strips of cloth, broken mirrors, broken swords, rusty iron pieces...

"Little brother, even though these things are broken, they are all fragments of third-level treasures. Some of them may even contain the inheritance of Jindan Zhenren!" The middle-aged monk wearing a bamboo hat was instantly excited when he saw that someone was interested in the goods on the stall, and he hurriedly introduced them.

Xia Chen bent down and picked up a broken sword. The tip of the sword had long disappeared, and the sword body was covered with cracks, as if it would shatter with a slight swing.

"How many spirit stones!" Xia Chen asked.

"With only five hundred low-grade spirit stones, my little brother can buy this incomplete treasure!"

"Five hundred low-grade spirit stones for this broken sword? Boss, you are asking for too much!"

“These things are extraordinary!”

The middle-aged monk said, "I dug these out with great effort from the Blood Ridge battlefield. They are all fragments of magical weapons from three thousand years ago."

"Blood Ridge Battlefield..."

Xia Chen also knew some information about the Blood Ridge battlefield.

Three thousand years ago, the State of Jin had not yet been established, and the State of Liang dominated this land.

Later, an unimaginable war broke out between the Liang Kingdom's immortal cultivation world and the neighboring Wu Kingdom's immortal cultivation world. The two sides launched a fierce decisive battle at Xueling, in which countless cultivators died, and even a Nascent Soul True Lord died.

Therefore, the Blood Ridge is filled with endless evil spirits, and even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Stage cannot guarantee their own safety if they enter.

The middle-aged cultivator in front of him was only in the late stage of Qi Refining and could only wander around the periphery at most.

"One hundred low-grade spirit stones!" Xia Chen said, "If it's higher, forget it!"

The middle-aged monk gritted his teeth and said, "One hundred is one hundred!"

Xia Chen was slightly delighted. According to the news report of Luofeng City Daily, the spiritual charm of the broken sword had indeed disappeared, but it contained a very powerful sword formation.

In terms of power, it is no weaker than the Hanhai Sword Formation purchased from Wanbao Tower before.

Just as he was about to take out the spirit stone, he saw the broken sword in his hand was attracted by an extremely strong aura and flew out of his palm.

Upon closer inspection, he turned out to be a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, dressed in purple, extremely luxurious, but with a bit of viciousness in his eyes.

"I want this sword!"

The young man in purple waved his hand, and a few fist-sized medium-grade spirit stones appeared on the stall.

The middle-aged cultivator quickly put away the spirit stone in front of him.

Xia Chen said nothing, just looked deeply at the young man in purple, then left silently.

You can tell at a glance that he is a second-generation immortal.

Maybe the elder behind him is a Jindan Zhenren.

It would undoubtedly be foolish to start a conflict in Luofeng City.

After all, now that Taihua Immortal has fallen into a deep sleep, he has no one to back him up.

If you have anything to say, let’s go into the suspended area.

As for the other few leaks, no one intervened and they were picked up smoothly.

The biggest leak should be a gourd.

This gourd was originally produced from a third-grade, low-quality gourd vine. A cultivator had placed a hidden forbidden formation on the outside of it, so it looked inconspicuous from the outside and was no different from a first-grade, mid-to-high-quality gourd.

In the end, Xia Chen spent three hundred and fifty low-grade spirit stones and successfully bought it.

Not to mention being able to be refined into a space magic weapon, this gourd can also be used to store elixirs and magical medicines, and it can slow down the evaporation of medicinal power and spiritual energy to the greatest extent.

Of course, if the leak is bigger, you can’t pick it up.

After all, the newspaper date changes the level of the mailbox where it is placed.

However, Xia Chen does have a prop, a dating instrument.

It looks somewhat like a compass.

This tool can determine the age of objects.

Xia Chen used a shrinking device to shrink it, placed it in the palm of his hand, and then aimed it at the stalls on both sides.

Afterwards, numbers began to appear on the dating instrument.

"Flying sword fragments, fifty years!"

"Ragged cloth, ten days!"

"Broken mirror, eighty-eight years!"

……

Xia Chen secretly took out the dating instrument and measured it in secret.

After walking for a while, we found that the oldest building was a half-broken tower that was built three hundred years ago.

But it doesn’t mean that the older something is, the more precious it is.

Many antiques may be from thousands or even tens of thousands of years ago.

However, the spiritual charm of the spirit dissipated, and the spiritual patterns, restrictions, and formations were all erased, making them useless.

At this time, Xia Chen's superpower of perspective came in handy.

It can see through the forbidden spiritual patterns hidden on the surface of objects.

Suddenly, Xia Chen discovered a four-digit number appeared on the dating instrument.

"6369!"

He had an idea and took a closer look. He saw that his fingertips were pointing at a broken bead. The surface was covered with dust and looked blurry.

So he squatted down, picked up a broken bead the size of a fist, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

The outer layer of restrictive spiritual patterns have been erased, and the spiritual charm has almost disappeared.

However, in the innermost core part, there were extremely subtle spiritual patterns flickering faintly.

After six thousand years, the spiritual patterns inside it have still not been erased.

It can be seen that the broken beads must have been of extraordinary grade, and might even be a treasure.

Afterwards, he bought it for one hundred and eighty low-grade spirit stones.

In the next few days, more and more monks came to Luofeng City, and the city became more prosperous.

Through dating and his super powers of perspective, Xia Chen discovered quite a few useful antiques.

Some of the spiritual patterns, prohibitions, and formations inside have characteristics of ancient times and are of great research value.

That night.

A shooting star streaked across the night sky, dazzlingly bright.

The originally quiet Luofeng City suddenly became noisy.

The arrival of the meteor means that the suspended area is about to open.
